Walk alone in the abyss

The lord's mansion of Saka.

After the video on Yang Ming's watch finished playing, the living room became audible.

Daphne deduced for a while in her mind that Yang Ming's second video would cause subsequent turmoil, her pretty face turned slightly pale.

Godoy said with a smile: "Hanton, among other things, your attitude of admitting your mistakes is excellent. This should reduce the pressure on us from the military."

Hanyin and Hanxiang at the side couldn't help raising their hands to rest their foreheads.

"Your Excellency, you may be thinking too simply," Han Xiang said in a soft voice, "If this video is widely spread... I can't judge the impact it will have in the future, but it is obviously not good for the military. of."

"Boss," Hanyin stared at Yang Ming, "What do you want to do?"

Yang Ming spread his hands: "What can I do? I just sincerely admit my mistake."

"But, didn't you reveal too much information, super-reformers, dimension-ascension experiments, and the core system of the empire," Hanyin couldn't help frowning as he spoke, staring at Yang Ming carefully, " In particular, people will subconsciously believe that what you said was indeed widely circulated among the people before, but from this moment on, it will become an outlet for public opinion."

Yang Ming said: "Don't worry, this won't affect the empire."

Daphne asked, "Then what do you want to achieve?"

"What purpose can I have?"

Yang Ming stared at Daphne:

"They're trying to fuck me, Daphne, I can't just wrap myself up and put my neck under their raised lightsabers.

"It's just my simple counterattack."

"No, you must be planning to achieve other goals," Daphne raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "Is it my father's order?"

Yang Ming smiled without saying a word.

"You can't hide this from me," Daphne said, "I need a quiet room, promise me, don't let your technical team promote this video for now, okay?"

Yang Ming still just watched her with a smile.

The current Daphne is not qualified to negotiate with him.

"Let's communicate first," Yang Ming said, "It's best to take all my words with you."

Daphne nodded slightly, got up and hurried to the rest room in the corner.

Hanyin and Hanxiang looked at each other, each seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The boss knew exactly what he was doing, that is to say... the boss was at war with the military and the Sherman family!

Godoy suddenly looked puzzled: "Handon, are you putting pressure on the upper echelons of the empire?"

Hanyin asked in a low voice: "Boss, do you know exactly who your current enemy is?"

"Huh?" Yang Ming smiled, "You two are from the Tentacle Organization, and every once in a while, you need to report some information about me to the Tentacle Organization, right?"

Hanxiang, who is always soft and weak, categorically denies it.

Hanyin, who has a bad temper and loves to curse, nodded calmly: "Yes, boss, I thought you would not mention this matter, this is our tacit understanding."

"I want to know, is the tentacles really under His Majesty's control?"

"certainly."

"Fully grasp?"

"A little bit," Hanyin blinked at Yang Ming, "For the sake of the high salary, I can share a piece of news with you... His Majesty is now waiting for your communication invitation."

Boss Yang nodded, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, his knight commander understands his painstaking efforts."

"I'm not directly responsible to His Majesty," Hanyin said, "However, this public opinion war has nothing to do with our tentacles. Eighty percent of the members in the tentacles are women, and most of them are women. They are your fans, so they are often willing to give us some information that is not excessive."

Yang Ming: ...

This is what he did not expect.

"Go and rest, let my private soldiers enter the ship, but the ship should not leave the port," Yang Ming reminded, "You sisters don't need to participate in this matter, Godoy, when it's time to cut me Carry out the cut, your mission is to restore prosperity to Sakaar."

Godoy hesitated to speak, but finally just nodded.

Yang Ming leaned back in the seat with a smile, closed his eyes, and said slowly:

"No matter what, I am loyal to the Empire."

After the few of them left, Yang Ming's watch started to vibrate continuously, and Lu kept sending messages.

[Boss, the adjustments have been completed. Your battle with Captain Catherine, Captain Catherine’s speech, and your apology video have begun to occupy the headlines of various portal websites. 】

[The public opinion guidance work of the community network has been completed. 】

[Reserve computing power resources have been activated, and the hidden networks of all ships in the empire have been temporarily requisitioned by us. 】

[Soul Heart contributed part of the computing power to us. I haven't touched the computing power resources on Labdo's side for the time being, for fear of leaving traces. 】

[The Terminator has locked the target group, and the combat plan has been stored to 362 copies, and it is ready to launch an assassination operation against the core political leaders of the empire at any time. 】

Yang Ming tapped on the table with his fingers, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Now, he actually wanted to ignore it and let a large number of terminators attack directly.

But after calming down, Boss Yang finally remembered that now Dark Star is no match for the empire, even if it is an unreasonable incomplete empire.

The move of the Terminator can only be used as a countermeasure to break the jar, and it is far from the moment when it must go to this step.

——Shouldn't ignore the destruction of 'Levi's Empire', this is the main reason why Yang Ming can't take risks easily.

As for the Sherman family...

It's going to be offensive and defensive in a moment, old guys.

Yang Ming glanced at the rest room where Daphne was, and sent two text messages to Xiao Lu.

[Don't let the public opinion cool down, continue to stimulate them. 】

[Determine the list of officers of the outer fleet of Saka star as soon as possible, and find a way to influence their grassroots soldiers. 】

Yang Ming's watch vibrated twice, but he didn't look at it much.

Daphne opened the soundproof door of the lounge, looked at Yang Ming with a frown, and walked towards Yang Ming.

Judging from her expression, the situation is not optimistic.

...

'...I will not harm any imperial soldier who is friendly to me. '

boom!

An old man in loose casual clothes kicked the floating coffee table in front of him away.

Atro's eyelids twitched violently.

As the first deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he could only stand obediently in the corner in this small room.

The house is filled with smoke, and most of these old people who hope to live as long as possible have the habit of taking harmless addictive drugs. In fact, it wasn't long before Atro arrived here, what he needed to do was to integrate the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and report to these old men in time if there was any situation.

In the middle of the cabin, the two wide sofas facing each other are the core area of ​​power in the room.

The four old men sitting there are said to be the core existence of the round table of the Sherman family, and they are also the highest controllers of the empire's military system.

Atro's third uncle could only sit near the core area. When any one of the four old people spoke, his third uncle could only bow his head and listen, and he must show a serious expression.

Artero: It's just like him.

Now, the one who kicked the coffee table angrily was one of the four elders of the military department sitting in the middle.

"What does this white ghost want to do!"

An old man said coldly: "He is definitely provoking us on purpose! He wants to force us to fire at Saka, which will cause violent turmoil within the empire, and he will stand on the side of the righteous."

"Sakar is developing well now, with a population of tens of millions and a good economic potential. It would be a pity to destroy it."

"But it can't be relied on as a white ghost."

"How is the situation now?"

The third uncle looked at Atero, and Atero, who had been holding a virtual projection device, immediately said: "Here are some statistics."

He was a little nervous, he stood upright, then lowered his head, and said quickly:

"According to the data from three minutes ago, the popularity of topics related to the white ghost massacre terrorist organization is rapidly receding, and words about Catherine are rapidly increasing.

"We have issued a death order to the media systems in various places, and no one can report this matter, but judging from the current data, those who want to mess up the empire's interior are driven by the new Federal CIA and the intelligence agents of the United States of Freedom. The department-based promoters have already begun to hype up the topic of Catherine with all their strength.

"At this stage, the public is very interested in the three aspects of the survival period of the super-reformers, the pursuit of individual dimension enhancement by the imperial family, and the truth about the empire's maintenance of the imperial system.

"In the Emperor Star Circle, the people keep speaking out, wanting an official response.

"Outside the Emperor Star circle, many people have the tendency to organize parades."

The atmosphere in the room is even more depressing.

"hehe."

One of the four elders of the military department sneered:

"This is the hero of the empire. He deliberately gave people a excuse to put pressure on us... Does he still want to split the empire?"

Atro: ...

It seems that the one who took the initiative to suppress Handon was you, the bosses.

His third uncle said in a deep voice:

"The influence of the white ghost is too great. Once he establishes the image of the victim among the public, what the government does is wrong. He seems to be sincerely apologizing, but in fact he is shaking out some previously tacit things. , This practice is common in all kinds of public opinion wars.

"Now, we should establish a combat goal, that is, what we want to achieve. If we only want to suppress the white ghost, we may cause trouble later."

"Battle goal?"

One of the four elders said, "Simply put, what do we want Hanton to do?"

The old people fell silent again.

Someone said: "Since the cause of this incident is the white ghost's refusal to plunder the Dominguez people, then we might as well let the Dominguez extraterrestrial fleet move forward now and make a gesture of attacking the Dominguez people , and then the position of the lord general is still reserved for the white ghost."

"Let him go back to where he should be? This is not bad."

"As long as he returns to the outer fleet of the Domingos star, we will directly throw two shaped energy bombs downwards. Instead of attacking the main city of the Domingos, we will throw them in some wilderness locations. It is said to be a military exercise, Test the power of the weapon."

"White Ghost doesn't want to get his hands dirty? He doesn't have a choice."

"Let the dreadnought formation move faster, don't make too many preparations, jump directly to the outside of Saka, and aim the muzzle at the white ghost's lord's mansion."

"In front of the empire, there are no exceptions."

The three supreme commanders of the military department who stayed by the side saluted and took orders at the same time.

Atro's Adam's apple trembled up and down a few times, and he took two steps back cautiously to the corner, continuing to watch the steady stream of messages from his subordinates.

He has never been so serious about handling an official business.

...

Saka Star, Lord's Mansion.

Daphne stood in front of Yang Ming with her arms folded.

Boss Yang leisurely drank the drink brought by his battle machine maid, admiring Daphne who was a little bit angry.

"Handon, now the dissatisfaction with you over there has escalated to the point where they might get rid of you."

Daphne said coldly:

"I don't know what you want to do, but based on what I know about you, I don't believe that you refused to go to the Domingos to plunder slaves for the sake of your so-called self-principle. This is almost an imperial practice. Those civilians Class, that is, your basic reputation, will not really dislike you because of this matter.

"Care about your own reputation, cherish your own principles, don't want to let yourself become a butcher knife in the hands of the imperial nobles, and don't want to bow to the imperial nobles. These are your excuses, right?"

Yang Ming smiled and shook his head: "Believe it or not, Daphne, I am very principled."

"You don't have to admit it, and I can't make you admit it," Daphne pursed her lips tightly, "But, but if your intention is to split the empire from the perspective of public opinion and split the entire empire, then Hanton, we won't be able to Keep working together."

"Daphne, what good will it do me to split up the empire?"

Yang Ming frowned and asked:

"What motive do I have for attacking the Empire?

"Let me say something that may offend you, as long as I nod now, I can become a member of the Sherman family, and as long as I get close to them, I can use mind control to make them my puppets.

"Is this a shortcut to realize my so-called ambition?"

Daphne pondered a few times: "Yes, this is indeed the fastest shortcut, although many of my elders no longer have real bodies... Then what is your purpose? Or, what is your appeal? "

"Let's think about it, I actually don't have any appeals, I'm just passively counterattacking. In this way, let the military department formally apologize for the Domingos tragedy?"

"This is impossible."

"Then I don't know what to ask for."

Just as Yang Ming wanted to continue talking nonsense, Daphne frowned as if listening attentively. — Apparently she also had hidden earphones plugged in her ears.

"What? Dreadnought?"

Almost at the same time, Yang Ming's watch vibrated, and Lu's text message was displayed in front of Yang Ming in private mode.

[Boss, a dreadnought ship code-named Black Crow has appeared in the outer star field of Saka. The imperial formation began to escort the dreadnought ship. The ship has activated its energy protection system and is charging its main guns. 】

Boss Yang's expression collapsed visibly to the naked eye.

Daphne took a deep breath, and looked at Yang Ming with complicated eyes.

"This is the attitude of the Sherman family and the military department, Hanton," Daphne pleaded in her eyes, "It's hard for us to get to the current situation... Shouldn't our interests be the same?"

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Looking at it now, our interests are not completely consistent, Daphne."

"No, Hanton," Daphne's voice trembled slightly, "I am willing to put your interests at the center, and I can do anything for you. Let's bow down to them now, and the matter will pass. None of your interests will be harmed."

Yang Ming stared at Daphne.

Daphne clenched her fists slightly.

Yang Ming said indifferently: "The dreadnought might open fire, you can leave Saka now."

After saying that, he got up and was about to go to his bedroom on the second floor.

"Hendon!"

Daphne rushed up suddenly, hugged Yang Ming from behind, and said in a trembling voice:

"What exactly do you want to do, can you tell me what exactly do you want to do! If, if you want to pardon Catherine, I can help you do it!"

"You still don't understand, Daphne," Yang Ming patted the back of Daphne's hand, "Those old things have pointed their dreadnoughts at me, so I should respond a little bit, Daphne, please remember Live, if today is a turning point in the history of the empire, all responsibility rests with your elders."

"you want……"

"White Specter is best at live broadcasting," Yang Ming said indifferently, "The dreadnought's landing on Saka is such a big event, how can I not take my heat?"

"Hendon?"

"Okay, Daphne, you're tired." Yang Ming's words became a little more icy, "I still like the ambitious you back then, but now you are too gentle and virtuous."

Yang Ming gently broke away from Daphne's hands.

After returning to the bedroom, Yang Ming leaned against the door, his eyes felt empty for a few seconds.

"Boss, do you want to officially start a counterattack?"

"Let's fight back," Yang Ming said indifferently, "Those who threaten my survival are my enemies, do it, Li, and bring a little episode to this ancient country."

"Yes," Li replied softly, and then there was no sound.

Three minutes later, several airships left the surface of Star Saka, and the live broadcast from the main perspective of the outer satellites of Star Saka suddenly appeared on the network inside and outside the empire.

[Empire's ultimatum: The Dreadnought has locked on Saka. 】

A large amount of information suddenly appeared on the unified network of the empire, and the accounts of 30% of the official media in the empire suddenly began to release some information that was not controlled by officials.

The several major naval forces that were originally evenly matched on the Internet decided the winner within a few minutes.

The influence of imperial officials on the Internet has fallen off a cliff.

The various voice channels of the aristocratic class experienced drastic fluctuations, many accounts were directly banned, and many nobles' planets experienced regional and unimaginable network interruptions.

The battlefield of the Imperial Network has become a unilateral "slaughter list" situation, and those foreign forces that have not been rehearsed in advance have spontaneously become the promoters of "supporting the white ghost".

The Imperial Network fell.

This is just the beginning.

About twelve minutes later, another piece of news popped up.

A large-scale parade broke out on Yaha Star. Hundreds of thousands of people held high the bust of the white ghost and surrounded the local government and local garrison.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of similar news began to flood the screen crazily.

However, during the two galaxies, the sixty-nine main administrative planets in the empire erupted into demonstrations, and the number of demonstrations increased wildly.

In the frontier army in the northwest of the empire, hundreds of school-level officers submitted a joint letter to the military department, hoping that the military department would understand the noble feelings of the imperial hero. The powerful empire should have a place for this hero.

A similar situation occurred in the MIB system, the Imperial Quick Reaction Force.

In the fleet that had just been transferred to the outer star field of Saka, dozens of grassroots officers were arrested on the spot by the Imperial Gendarmerie law enforcement team because they refused to carry out opening the weapon safety. The news was accidentally revealed.

This was Yang Ming's first official counterattack.

Start first and then moisturize~ It's really tiring to accompany the baby.

The next step is to try to repay the updates owed earlier~ Well, it is a good idea to reduce the number of words in a chapter and increase the frequency of updates (dog head).
