Chapter 12 Incitation
No one in the whole fortress knew about the change of the new American diplomatic mission. And [Sakura] was also found from some captured data when wandering casually on the Internet.
The diplomatic mission originally from New America to the Unicorn Fortress suddenly changed its way south when it was about to approach the Unicorn Fortress, entered the Cologne Chamber of Commerce, and once again changed to the Cologne Chamber of Commerce's ship to enter the Chutang Empire. In this way, they can bypass the unicorn fortress and enter Chutang directly.
Yunyi rubbed his forehead and asked [Sakura]: "Do you know why they changed their ways?"
"How can I know that I'm just an artificial intelligence, and I don't know anything like mind detection. Even if you can use the communication they communicate to analyze, how long do you think it will take to track a data far away in Cologne and New America?
Seeing this line of words, Yun Yi couldn't help smiling bitterly.
In fact, without the tracking analysis of [Sakura], he can also guess that someone from Chu Tang did this, and the biggest possibility is Cai Hongzhang and Chu Xiuji, who are far away in Chang'an.
Connecting the fact that they were sent to demand the gratuitous release of the new American prisoners this time, Yunyi has basically been able to confirm what Cai Hongzhang is doing.
"Bum!"
Yunyi, who was interrupted by a loud noise, raised his head and saw a general with anger on his face slapped the table in front of him, staring at the rostrum with two flames. Yunyi couldn't help but be stunned. This officer was too bold to slap the table in front of so many senior officers?
Can the imperial marshal sitting on the rostrum no longer control them?
Looking up, Yunyi found that he didn't know when the rostrum had been replaced. Lin Jiaoyang did not sit on the rostrum, but in the first row below, looking at the rostrum calmly. The person on the stage is a fat man who Yunyi doesn't know.
This man is white and fat, weighing at least 200 kilograms, and standing on the platform is like a meat mountain. The fat face squeezed his eyes into a small gap, and the fat lips were like two big sausages. Seeing this honor, Yunyi immediately understood who was on the table. If there is no mistake, only the nobles in the imperial capitals who have always claimed to be traditional nobility will do so. It is said that in order to maintain the purity of blood, these nobles are extremely opposed to changing themselves. They believe that a person's birth is doomed by God, and the modification of the day after tomorrow is dissatisfaction with God and a blasphemy against God. And some of them are born because they lack exercise, are lazy, and unwilling to use medical equipment to change.
And among the unicorn fortress made up of pure soldiers, there is no such person. The Chu and Tang Empire strictly managed the army. No matter who, even the prince at the top of the aristocracy, if he wants to join the army, the first requirement is a good figure. If you can't meet the requirements, the military has a lot of equipment to adjust the size. Whether it is flat legs or myopia glaucoma, even if you lack arms and legs, you can adjust it to a standard body shape. In this way, except for the difference in height and appearance, all of them in the army are the most standard figures, absolutely not fat or thin, giants or dwarfs. On the one hand, it is to improve combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, it will be much easier to formulate combat equipment or personal equipment.
So, if such a person suddenly appears in the fortress, his identity is ready to be revealed.
"General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Yunyi looked at the fat man on the rostrum, who came to read the royal decree and asked the fortress to release all the captured New American officers and soldiers, including the deputy commander-in-chief of the military rank.
Chu Tang's Ministry of Internal Affairs has no power. To put it bluntly, it is a department equivalent to the palace housekeeper. Usually deal with the flowers and plants in the palace area, birds and beasts, prepare clothes, food, transportation, accommodation and other issues for the royal staff, the education of the royal children, etc., of course, including conveying his will for the emperor. Although there is a long-distance information transmission system such as interstellar communication, in order to highlight the majesty of the royal family, some important wills are transmitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Hearing the loud noise, the fat man narrowed his small eyes and looked at the general who patted the table. First, he looked carefully, his two fat lips clicked, and said in an extremely arrogant tone, "Who are you and what's the matter?"
The general resounded in the whole conference room with a powerful and unyielding voice in the cold: "Qin Yan, deputy commander of the 17th Fleet of the empire. I just want to ask the general manager, which country are you from?
The fat man raised his head, looked at him disdainfully, and said loudly, "Of course, I am from the Chu and Tang Dynasty. When the Chu and Tang Empire was established a thousand years ago, my ancestors were already an officer under Taizu and was given the title of count. It can be said that every cell belongs to the Chu and Tang Empire from blood to skin!"
"Hmm." Qin Yan snorted coldly and said in a sarcastic tone, "How do I think you look like human beings, but like those hybrid creatures in the biochemical madman laboratory 300 years ago!"
Suddenly, there burst into laughter in the whole venue, and even Lin Jiaoyang couldn't help laughing and looking at the fat meat on the stage and shaking his head.
"You...how do you talk!" The fat man trembled angrily, and the fat meat couldn't help shivering, "It's so rude, so rude! You country bumpkin, I must sue you. You are insulting a count. I swear, I will make you worse than death!"
At this time, Lin Jiaoyang stood up and said, "The chief manager is still angry. General Qin is just joking."
"Just kidding!" The fat man screamed, "Lin Jiaoyang, look at what kind of people you are under. They are all vulgar. I really doubt the authenticity of your battle. With such a rude general, what combat effectiveness can those soldiers have? Ha, I see. You didn't catch a group of refugees somewhere and claim to be the New American army.
Others can accuse these soldiers of being rude, but no one can doubt the authenticity of the battle.
Lin Jiaoyang originally wanted to ease the atmosphere and didn't want to make the situation too stiff. But after hearing this, he was angry.
"You are calling the name of a prince at this time!" Lin Jiaoyang shouted harshly, "Come on, give me a slap and let the fat pig wake up!"
The fat man was stunned, and he suddenly remembered that the one in front of him was not only the marshal of Chu Tang, but also the top nobleman with the title of prince. The whole Chu Tang Dynasty has the title of prince. Except for part of the royal blood of Chu, the prince with the opposite surname is only Lin Jiaoyang. As a count, what will happen if he calls the name of a prince directly? Even if he doesn't know it, he should be able to guess it.
Immediately, two burly soldiers walked next to him. These soldiers have long seen him as unpleasant, but due to military discipline, they can only curse fiercely in their hearts.
"Papa..."
A series of crisp voices sounded on the face of the fat man who was held tightly by a soldier. The soldier who executed was not polite to the fat man at all, and his strength was particularly fierce. On the one hand, because of his resentment, he was told by the guy in front of him to leave when he saw the enemy who risked his death to defeat the captured New American fleet? On the other hand, it is because this fat man is a count. I'm afraid that 99% of people will never slap a count once in their lives as civilians. How could he be polite when he finally caught the opportunity?
Even if the soldier did not pour internal breath into his hand, the defense exercised by this fat man's favorable life was already bloody in less than ten times. The fat man has been confused and can't even say a word. His face is full of pain, and his eyes are full of golden stars.
"Enough."
It took about a minute before Lin Jiaoyang's faint voice sounded. As soon as the soldier loosened his hand, the fat man collapsed on the ground like a ball of mud. His eyes were dazzling, and it seemed that he had been beaten and almost fainted.
"Drag him down." Lin Jiaoyang took a look with disgust and waved his hand casually. After the fat man was dragged away, Lin Jiaoyang stood up and did not go to the rostrum. He turned around and said, "Gentlemen, I want to ask you, as a soldier, what is the purpose of getting up early and fighting against the enemy every day?"
"In order to protect our motherland."
"To protect the family."
"For the benefit of the empire."
"For the people to live a peaceful and stable life."
Listening to everyone's speech, Lin Jiaoyang nodded and said, "Everyone is right. The mission of soldiers is to protect their families and the country. But!" His voice suddenly became harsh: "The empire we protect by sacrificing life and death, but his owner has done something to hurt us!" In this battle, we were lucky, but we also lost 9,426 warships, and a total of 327912 officers and soldiers died on the battlefield, including a * deputy commander and three major general squadron captains. It was these soldiers who exchanged their lives for our victory..."
"But now!" Lin Jiaoyang's voice was full of anger: "Those cutest soldiers, the fruits of victory exchanged for their lives, will be returned to those enemies who launched an aggressive attack on us because they did not participate in the battle or even the support of a ship..."
"This is in the enemy!"
Lin Jiaoyang finally began to roar: "You can imagine that the most powerful fleet colony in the new United States has been completely destroyed here. What is left in their country? Without the fleet, 200,000 warships can be built in less than a year with the full manufacturing capacity of New America. But what about the personnel? As a space fleet officer, everyone must know very well how long it will take to train a qualified space warship maneuver..."
"...If these prisoners are in our hands, the new United States will have no strength to resist our army for at least five years! At least 20 years, I will not be able to launch an attack on our country! There is no possibility of defeating us for at least 30 years!" Lin Jiaoyang regained his composure and said in a low voice, "However, if these prisoners are returned, with these prisoners as instructors and the new United States launches a national mobilization, they can have the strength to compete with our country again for up to five years!" At that time, we don't know how many lovely warriors will be buried in this vast starry sky..."
When Lin Jiaoyang was speaking, Yunyi was also listening carefully. Soon, he clearly found that there was no word "Chu Tang" in Lin Jiaoyang's words, but replaced it with "our country". Moreover, he successfully took advantage of the release of prisoners to provoke the anger of these officers and dissatisfaction with the Chu and Tang royal family.
In Yunyi's heart, he has begun to be a little excited and expectant.
Lin Jiaoyang continued to talk about the struggle and sacrifice of the army for the empire and everything the Chu and Tang royal family did after Chu Qingyun's death. Especially in this unicorn fortress defense battle, even Qin Shou, who has been determined to betray the empire, can send two fleets to support, and there is no danger of the Chu and Tang royal family with the strongest four main fleets, but not even a warship was sent, not even a word of sympathy.
Except for a few old and cunning guys, the officers sitting below were all angry and clenched their fists. In fact, they are not stupid. How many people are stupid when they can sit on the throne of commander or deputy commander? Perhaps most people have guessed what Lin Jiaoyang wants to do. But they didn't say it, on the one hand, because Lin Jiaoyang's prestige was there. He devoted his life and his whole family to Chu Tang. Marshal Lin, who was considered to be the most loyal to Chu Tang, was finally wanted by the Chu Tang royal family. Although he was finally revoked, these people were very clear about what kind of grievance Lin Jiaoyang had suffered. Respect, worship, admiration and sympathy have made these officers have already classified themselves into another scorching sun. On the other hand, these people all know what the current division of power of Chu Tang is. There is no doubt that Lin Jiaoyang, who has 20 main fleets and five and a half star domains, is already the most powerful force in the Chu and Tang Empire and even the whole southern universe.
People go high, and water flows low.
If Lin Jiaoyang and the Chu Tang royal family or Qin Shou have a conflict, even if the other two forces unite, they will definitely not be Lin Jiaoyang's opponents. If you want money, if you want someone, if you want a boat, if you want a ship, if you want a chassis, if you want to have a chassis, who can be his opponent in the whole Chu Tang Dynasty with Lin Jiaoyang's current strength? Moreover, Lin Jiaoyang is famous. The rulers of several vassal countries around him, if they are not fools and idiots, should also understand what they should and should not do in this situation.
More importantly, if Lin Jiaoyang really has that plan, those who followed Lin Jiaoyang from the beginning will definitely be the founding fathers. If Lin Jiaoyang has no brain to build a democratic regime, almost most of these officers from grassroots can also get it. An absolutely noble title, officially became a respected member of the aristocracy.
In this way, driven by anger, interests and power, Lin Jiaoyang is getting closer and closer to his goal.
