Chapter 75 Zagu's card
Qi Daoxue's face changed slightly. Although he was not very clear about what Yunyi had judged from it, the unreserved trust established by Yunyi in his inner world for a long time made him immediately call the adjutant and immediately forward Yunyi's words to the rebel fleet through the secret line with the highest authority.
Then he asked Yunyi why he did so.
"In Ithras, only officers, especially those with troops, are the most powerful people. Other planet governors and political departments are just a pile of rotten wood in front of a powerful army.
Yunyi held his inner uneasiness and explained to Qi Daoxue, "I'm afraid that few other fleet commanders except Douglas are hoping that Zagu can survive."
Qi Daoxue was a little puzzled: "Since Douglas is loyal to Zagu, he will definitely protect the rebel army fleet and won't let anyone attack him. Moreover, Douglas's command controls more than half of Iseras' fleet, and no one dares to offend this military officer easily.
"Of course, some people dare to do that."
Yunyi shook his head: "Cai Hongzhang of the Royal Second Fleet, if I guess correctly, he should be the representative of the Dragon Slayer. Iseras now relies entirely on the Dragon Slayer to have his current strength. If the Dragon Slayer will cut off its support and rely only on the level within their country, I'm afraid the country will completely disintegrate from the inside without waiting for us to send troops.
"Dragon Slayer..." Qi Daoxue read the name, and her voice was full of coldness.
If Zagu had not been supported by the Dragon Slayer, Zhao Song would not have perished so soon. Unfortunately, the power of the Dragon Slayer is too large, far from what Berwick can compete with now. Only after overthrowing Ith and rebuilding the Zhao and Song empire, and then relying on the power of several generations, can it pose a threat to that huge thing.
Qi Daoxue is not a fool. Yun Yi has said so much, and he can understand.
The two raised their heads and looked at the starry sky in the distance, with a faint anxiety in their eyes.
......
Lorraine withdrew his sight on the light brain screen and said worriedly to Gu Yi, "Lao Gu, things are not good."
Gu Yi is arranging for a new warship to tow another Wumu-class warship. Hearing Lorraine's voice, he frowned: "Don't worry, there will definitely be warships that continue to be damaged. But we can pass through the border in two hours at most, and there will be no problem.
Lorraine looked bitter and shook his head: "I'm afraid that in two hours, we will still be in the territory of Iselas."
Gu Yi just came over, his eyes fell on the screen, and his eyes suddenly widened: "What is this old man Peng Sen doing? Why did he suddenly adjust the formation?" But in an instant, he understood: "Damn it, they actually contracted and wrapped us inside their fleet."
"This is not the point..." Lorraine said with an ugly face: "I just calculated that the speed of the Iselas fleet is 20% lower than before. Moreover, their speed continues to decline.
Gu Yi was shocked: "So, Iselas wants to use this method to force us to slow down?"
Lorraine said, "If I guess correctly... I'm afraid it's true."
Gu Yi walked back and forth a few times in the command room anxiously, and suddenly stopped and turned to the room on the side of the command room. Lorraine took a look and hurriedly followed.
"Lord Hilfis."
It is Hilfis guarding the door here. Originally, the three of Guyi didn't want her to stand at this sentry. However, because the fleet needed Guyi and Lorraine to coordinate the arrangements, they could not relax for a moment. Hua Yonghao stood here for more than ten hours. It was not until Hilfis came to the command room that he found out and proposed to replace them.
With the help of Hilofis, Hua Yonghao got some rest time. At this time, he was sleeping with his head covered.
"Are you going to enter Berwick soon?"
Sylufis smiled and looked at the people.
Gu Yi shook his head: "There is something wrong. I need to ask Zagu.
Hilifis nodded disappointedly and opened the door of the room. After Guyi entered the password, the three walked in.
This room was originally for the captain's temporary rest, and the environment is better than the ordinary crew room. There is not only a lounge, but also an office, a living room and a bathroom. However, after removing the light brain and other equipment, it became Zagu's cell.
When the three went in, Zagu was lying on the floor doing push-ups. A small pool** and Zagu's sweat on the ground can show that this guy is trying to exercise his body at this time.
Seeing someone coming, Zagu, who did not look tall, stood up, took a towel next to him and wiped his face. He laughed at himself and said, "I used to be so busy every day, but now it's better. Finally, I have time to exercise. Unfortunately, I haven't exercised for so many years, and my physical quality has been much worse. In the past, I was able to do 500 push-ups in a row without a drop of sweat.
Although everyone doesn't like Zagu very much, anyway, the other party is the king of a country, and there should be some etiquette.
After signaling Zagu to sit down, Gu Yi came forward and said, "Your Majesty Zagu, there are some things I need to ask you."
Zaku waved his hand generously: "As long as my top-secret information is not involved, I can answer you."
"Thank you for your cooperation." Gu Yi nodded and asked, "Then the first question. Why did Your Majesty hand over the command to Douglas because of his talent or his loyalty?
Zaku took a deep look at him, as if thinking about the reason why he raised this question.
A few seconds later, Zagu said faintly, "Of course it's loyalty. Do you think that I am a person who is tired of people? Almost all the people in the whole country can't wait to eat my meat and drink my blood. Do you dare to hand over the country to a guy who is not loyal? In that case, won't I stay in Berwick for the rest of my life?
It seems that Zagu has not died. Giving the country to Douglas is to save the idea of returning to Iseras in the future. Whether Douglas intends to send someone to rescue or pay some benefits through diplomacy, at least he still has a chance to go back.
These problems are not what Guyi needs to consider at this time.
"So the second question, how do you judge that Douglas will be absolutely loyal?"
Zagu raised his head and said casually, "Douglas's talent is what I found, and I gradually promoted him to his current position. In addition, during the last battle with the Lichma Federation, Douglas was captured by the Lichma Federation, although he was replaced by diplomatic means. But Douglas once lost confidence, and still under my unremitting efforts, he gradually regained his self-confidence. This is the kindness of knowing and saving my life. In terms of Douglas's character, he will never betray me.
Looking at Zagu with a confident face, Guyi shook his head: "What if... Douglas really betrayed you?"
"That's absolutely impossible! I believe in the way I look at people. Zagu's expression did not change at all. Instead, he looked at an extremely funny thing and continued to say, "Mitlas will rebel, the Ross family can also rebel, and even everyone may rebel, but only Douglas will not!"
"Let me tell you the truth."
Gu Yi did not intend to waste any more time and said directly: "Deborah planned to attack our fleet before, but was discouraged by Penson of the Eighth Fleet sent by Douglas. Next, Penson has been escorting us. But more than ten minutes ago, we found that the Eighth Fleet began to change formations and surrounded us tightly. At the same time, the fleet speed is reduced to delay our arrival in Berwick.
Gu Yi looked into Zagu's eyes and said word by word, "Penson is Douglas's crony. Do you think he would have made such an action without Douglas's order?"
The smile on Zagu's face suddenly solidified.
He suddenly stood up and roared, "This is absolutely impossible! Douglas was pulled up by me. Anyone can rebel, but he can't!"
"But that's the truth." Gu Yi sighed, and he was keenly aware of Zagu's reaction that even Zagu himself could not guarantee that Douglas would never defect.
Zagu gasped, I don't know whether it was because of the upheaval of his heart or the fatigue of exercising just now.
Gu Yi also stood up and said, "Your Majesty Zagu, if I don't make a mistake in judgment. It won't be long before the Eighth Fleet will leave completely. Douglas will never directly order his fleet to fire at us. After the Eighth Fleet leaves, the fleet disguised as pirates or others will arrive. Naturally, their purpose is to kill your majesty. And we are just incidental."
Zagu supported the table with his hands, and his face was uncertain.
After half a sound, he seemed to have figured out something, laughed at himself and sat back in the chair.
"Well, I admit that I'm an extremely failed guy. After losing power and throne, there is no one to trust.
"Now is not the time to complain." Gu Yi said lightly, "We can now say that we are grasshoppers on a rope. When that fleet comes, none of us can run away. Your Majesty, if you still want to live, please show your sincerity. Otherwise, we don't mind using you as a hostage and forcing the Eighth Fleet to stay here. Of course, in that case, the Eighth Fleet is really likely to stay, but if the Eighth Fleet does not stay, or fire directly at us, everyone will still die.
Zhagu sat there quietly like a stone sculpture without saying a word.
Gu Yi shook his head and threw out another sentence.
"We know that your Royal Second Fleet has left Xinkaifeng Star more than 20 hours ago. At the speed of that fleet, it will take about five hours at most to get here.
This sentence seemed to be a blockbuster*, fiercely bombarding Zagu's heart.
His face became extremely ugly, and his teeth were biting fiercely. Suddenly, he raised his arm and punched the table fiercely.
Zaguho stood up and stared at Guyi.
"Became me to the command room to communicate light brain."
PS:
A bug appeared in front of it. In the previous fleet, the number of fleets in the Chu and Tang Empire was 15,000, and the number of other countries was 10,000. But I misremembered it before and wrote 20,000 ships in the Chu and Tang Empire and 15,000 ships from other countries. It's not easy to change it now. You can understand it this way.
After the Chu and Tang Empire ended the shocking war with the New United States, all the information about the war became the subject of study and discussion in other countries. After research, countries found that today, with the sharp increase in armaments, it is more reasonable for a fleet to prepare 15,000 warships. Therefore, countries scrambled to follow suit and reformed their fleets to make them 15,000 warships as a fleet and 1,500 warships as a squadron.
However, Chu Tanglin Jiaoyang was a unique person. When most countries were completed, he immediately issued an order to adapt Chu Tang's own fleet and expand the existing fleet without adding fleets, bringing the size of each fleet to 20,000 warships.
In this case, it should be past...
