Chapter 155 Uninvited Visitors
"You have all submitted the materials to me. I won't say more about your materials. They are very detailed."
The two nobles who heard this almost collapsed on the spot. After deciding to turn to Li, after killing other families, the two sides listed the information of the other party's family in detail, lest there was a little omission. After so many years of friends and opponents, it was no secret what the other party had in his hand, so Li simply compared the two materials and made it clear about the family background of the three families. Solution.
"But don't worry, since you have decided to show your loyalty to me, I will naturally not let you come back empty-handed. However, in order to fight against the enemy and protect you, and in order to let our soldiers shed less blood on the battlefield, I need a large number of weapons, equipment and ammunition, which need the support of minerals. Some minerals can be collected by the asteroid belt, but after all, cosmic mineral collection is a new thing, which is difficult to achieve in a short time. Scale, so now we still have to rely on the output of Zhiyuan Star, and I'm not going to spend any money on this.
"This is normal. Our soldiers risked their lives to fight on the front line, but eventually became rich with some merchants in the rear. This kind of thing should never be," James quickly entered the state. He stood in Li's position and talked about it. "And minerals, a production resource, is originally from the planet. Gifts should belong to consuls, not some businessmen. We should introduce some rules to gradually take these minerals to the government.
"Yes," Philips also joined the discussion: "Not only from the administrative side, but also from the public opinion. On the one hand, of course, I want to publicize the heroic behavior of the front-line soldiers. These warriors who sacrificed for the people deserve everyone's worship and praise. On the other hand, we should spit on those black-hearted businessmen who use this war to make a fortune. Their meanness not only endangers the government, but also poses a threat to the front line. Their sins cannot be forgiven, and they endanger everyone's lives!"
Li silently listened to these words. In a few words, the end of the Vanderbilt family was simply determined. With just a decree, the privileges enjoyed and carefully maintained by the Vanderbilt family for thousands of years will be eliminated, and the remaining huge benefits will flow into Lee's warehouse, and finally All of them have been transformed into strategic materials that are useful to him.
To put it bluntly, this is a blatant robbery.
Just like the strategy of "fight the local tyrants and divide the fields" originally adopted by the Flower Empire on Earth, it is wrapped up with the majority of the people to carry out simple plunder against a certain person or a certain family.
But now Li has no time to talk about morality, fairness and so on, because what he needs most now is time and a stronger army! More chariots! A bigger fleet!
Only strong force can cut off the black hand behind the scenes, no matter what the black hand is!
After the video conference, Li turned off the communicator and took a sip of the green tea that had already been cooled on the table. After that, he raised his head and looked at the person who had been standing silently in the corner of his room.
The man's whole body was wrapped in a robe, except for the occasional cold eyes under the hood. Obviously, the unidentified person is not an insider of the regiment, but now he appears in the room of the commander of the regiment.
It was this man who sneaked into his room without alarming any guards and gave himself an accurate information about Qiu Xing. Moreover, during the time when Li checked the intelligence, he did not even move. Obviously, he was waiting for Li to verify the authenticity of the information he brought. Even after the intelligence was verified, Li deliberately dealt with some other things in front of him. He just stood in the corner of the room silently, as if they had nothing to do, just forgot to leave.
Li admired his patience, but Li had no doubt about his identity.
Or it can't be called him, but her.
"How on earth did you sneak in?" Li didn't care about the mysterious man standing in the corner. He said casually as if talking to an old friend, "Forget it, but now that you come in, take off your coat. Don't pretend. I also know you turned into ashes. You should understand that no matter how you disguise, the psionic fluctuations in your body will not change. It's been so long, you finally came to me, Elizabeth.
The mysterious man snorted coldly and took off the robe on her body, revealing the white leather tight scout costume tightly wrapped around her.
It was the former prosecutor who cooperated with Li and had been killed in the Imperial Archives for a long time.
"For so many years, you have hardly changed. You are still so beautiful." Li stood up and walked to the wine cabinet and asked casually, "Would you like something?" Tea or coffee?"
"It's been 18 years, and the years have still left traces on me." Elizabeth sighed, "Do you have any wine? Give me a strong bottle."
Li was swooned, and then smiled softly: "Oh, you're really welcome. Elizabeth, you seem to have changed.
"Under the great power of time, who can not change except the holy emperor?" Elizabeth caught the wine bottle thrown by Li, just wiped it, and skillfully opened the wine bottle. "I won't talk about me. What are you going to do about this matter?"
"What can be done in addition to a fight to the death?" Li sighed and said, "If I could get the news earlier, I would have been able to deal with it more beautifully, but now the orcs have become large, and there is no other way to easily destroy them except the attack of large-scale troops."
"Can't we use weapons of mass destruction?"
"If I can easily destroy a planet, what else do I have to worry about? You are a prosecutor. You should know how vigilant the empire is about those weapons of mass destruction. The mechanical god will never allow the information of such weapons to circulate. In addition to your court, who else has the ability to issue an extermination order?
"That's true," Elizabeth sighed, "How have you been recently? The thing in your body doesn't seem to have much impact on you?"
"Oh? Is that what you think? Li said with a wry smile, "I thought you would take action directly at me when you met, shouting to kill me for the emperor."
"I did," Elizabeth said frankly, "A long time ago, I hesitated whether I should hand in the report on your information. Finally, I escaped and decided to hand over the problem to my superiors. I thought you would die because of my report, but I didn't expect that I was wrong. You live. It's good. It's really amazing that they didn't kill you immediately." At this point, Elizabeth narrowed her eyes. "What's more ridiculous is that the person who died is not you, but me."
"Everything in the world is always so wonderful, isn't it?" Li poured himself a cup of tea, looked at the green color of the tea, then poured all the tea in the cup into the pool, poured a glass of wine for himself, and said easily, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I feel that you seem to have a lot to say. At this time, the wine seems to be more appropriate. Well, it's just how you got on my boat. Tell me how you appeared in my room so silently.
"If you don't make it clear, can't you sleep soundly? Well, it's not difficult for you. All I can say is that you think is too complicated. Entering your ship is not a complicated problem. You have a large party in the warship of Star Wars. All kinds of people take private airships from all over the world to your warship, and the security work is also very simple. I only find a certain social name. Liu, you can trip him with something, and then pretend to be him to get in easily. After entering the ship, it is not a problem to enter your room. There is almost no protection inside the warship. Elizabeth concluded: "To be honest, Li, if you talk about fighting, you may be an expert. No, you are at the master level, but when it comes to holding activities, stirring people's hearts, creating a horrible atmosphere, and making people afraid. Compared with me, you are just a toddler baby."
"The consul is still a new thing for me. Although I have been working for several years, I still have a lot to learn." After taking a sip of wine, Elizabeth took a long breath and said, "Well, it's my turn to ask, how did you survive?" At that time, after I handed in the report, I found a place to drink and relax. You know, I paid tribute to you with good wine more than once, but you bastard was unscathed! Why didn't they kill you? This is not their style!"
"What do you think their style is?"
"Of course, it is to eliminate all the guys who can threaten the empire and extinguish all dangers in the bud!"
"Comparatively, you should know that the court is a huge organization with many factions, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same idea."
"It's true. I know there is an 'Istepania' in the court! I should have brought you the information earlier this time, but there were some troubles that people couldn't get out, so I can't bring you the information until now. Are you talking about this faction?
"No, I've never heard of the Istephanian faction, but I can tell you about the Santithes faction. Your court is really interesting. Of course, you can tell me more about what you said later that made you not bring the information. Stefano, you know, because of your slow intelligence, I have to pay millions or more lives.
