Chapter 156 Star War Prisoner Marshal (9)
Irene’s words came out as a defeat, Molly was no longer aggressive, she just said indifferently: “All the supervisors should rest well.”
At the end of the dinner party, the supervisors of the Galaxy Empire went to the residence specially prepared for them by the Vast Sea Empire to rest. The noble ministers of the Vast Sea Empire also dispersed and returned to their residences. He stayed with Xie Gu and entered a secret conference room.
When the surrender was announced earlier, there were several rounds of chaos within the Vast Sea Empire. At that time, the most stubborn group had already received news from Xie Gu in advance, and most of this group had already led the “rebels” into Xinghe. In the territory of the Empire, there are still a few left to be guillotined as necessary troublemakers – they are all willing to stay, although it is not yet public, and even they do not know whether their expectations will be fulfilled.
In addition to this group of people, there are a considerable number of nobles and commoners who did not know about the news before it was made public.
In fact, the thousands of years of war between the Galaxy Empire and the Hanhai Empire is basically irrelevant in the eyes of the common people. As I said before, the current society is rigid and indifferent. Although the common people live a carefree life, they want to be promoted to nobles and enjoy privileges. Opportunities are also very small, and because of the increasing estrangement of interpersonal relationships, people’s emotional fetters are also thinner, reproduction is just an instinct engraved in the genes, and the sense of belonging to the family and country is weakening while the family love is weakened, so it is difficult for these commoners to become. The living force of opposition will not set off a storm at all.
Therefore, the focus of Xie Gu’s attention is not these commoners, but those nobles and ministers who enjoy privileges.
These people’s responses fall into three categories:
Either only care about interests, out of consideration for small life and other things, agree to surrender, or even persuade others to join;
Either very patriotic, unwilling to surrender no matter what, and would rather die than yield;
Either both characteristics are accounted for, and it is temporarily neutral under extreme entanglement.
For those who only consider interests, Xie Gu and Molly praised them on the surface, secretly put them directly into the blacklist, and if necessary, they would be solved directly through the hands of the “rebels”.
For those who are very patriotic, Xie Gu will examine their abilities, and those who are qualified will be brought in for a meeting. Those who are unqualified and incompetent will be locked up. If they react too much, they can only be pulled out and sacrificed to the sky in the end.
For those who are neutral, they will persuade them to continue to use them as they appear on the surface, but they will not know the core plan and will observe the details. Although there is no guarantee that it is 100% correct, there will be no problem with the group of people who are sifted into the core layer by the big waves. Xie Gu only requires this step. This is a contest between the two empires, and sacrifice is inevitable.
From the announcement of the news to the beginning of the official peace talks, Xie Gu has used the fastest means to scour out a group of the most loyal and capable ministers, and then to the visit of the supervisor of the Galaxy Empire today, the entire core team has been reorganized. The ministers have different ranks and different backgrounds, but their loyalty is absolute.
For today’s welcome dinner, most of the core team have come to the main hall, or are qualified to attend, or wait by the side, and a few people did not go in, but they also learned most of them through the broadcast of Star Network. The matter, when the dinner is over now, some people enter the conference room with Xie Gu and Molly, and the other part comes through the holographic projection to start discussing the next plan.
“Lianrong has already discovered General Sanz’s army. Although General Sanz led his soldiers to deal with Lianrong constantly, it is estimated that it will not last long.” An old man reported solemnly.
His voice was filled with very light pain, and even the faces of everyone present were not very good-looking. Although he knew that sacrifice was necessary, and even these generals were just the beginning, there was no way to avoid emotional fluctuations when he was really facing it.
Molly’s expression was calm, and although she wasn’t very happy, she didn’t lose her calm.
Xie Gu saw that she had changed a lot, so he didn’t answer the old man, but gave up the home court to Molly.
“Sacrifice is unavoidable, Billy,” Molly called out to the old man, “Tell Sans to let him delay the time as much as possible. If necessary, you can start the space jump to lengthen the front, but before that, you must put all the All communication tools are destroyed, don’t let Lianrong get the actual evidence, he has long suspected, but as long as he can’t prove our connection with these troops, he can’t do anything to us.”
She said solemnly: “Please be sure to convey General Sens. In any case, the Empire will remember his glory.”
“Yes.” Billy Marquis nodded.
Molly has also made some arrangements for the next operation of Hanhai. She has been on the throne for more than ten years, and she is still very handy in handling government affairs. One topic was discussed very quickly, and soon the last and most important one was about Xie Gu’s invitation to Irene to investigate the “Paleo-Earth Ruins”.
“I still think it’s a bit risky to do this,” Viscount Carter frowned, “Although I can’t tell whether these things are real or fake, they are fakes after all, in case there are ancient Earth researchers in the other party’s supervisor team who can see it. What should we do? Even if they can’t see it, many scholars will surely come after the reputation spreads. What if they are seen through?”
But the diplomat Sha Xin retorted: “The Viscount is a conservative, and I can understand that you are worried about the team of supervisors, but I have personally investigated the origins and backgrounds of these supervisors, and no one has studied the culture of the ancient earth. Besides, the original ancient The civilization of the earth has lost a lot, even if a scholar comes out to say something that shouldn’t be said, can he come up with any evidence?”
You must know that such a civilization with very few clues is much more difficult to prove that there is no comparable when the logic is passable.
Viscount Carter is indeed a conservative in politics. In fact, if you know his family background and look at his title, you should know that this person has no intention of politics at all-his title was handed down from his ancestors, and his father That generation was still an earl. Normally, as long as you improve a little bit, it is not difficult to add back the title that has been cut down by hereditary.
Compared with Sha Xin, whose ancestors were only a small local noble, but she has climbed to the position of the empire’s spokesperson step by step, it is obvious that Viscount Carter is far worse in this regard.
But Viscount Carter dared to raise an objection, of course, not because of his lack of political sense, but because of his status as a scholar of paleo-Earth research.
The culture of the ancient earth attracts interstellar people crazy, but because the ancient earth was destroyed long ago, and most of the information left behind was lost during the barren period, so most of the people who have the ability to find these relics in the boundless universe are the two big ones. The nobles of the empire have at least the same amount of money as they have power. The commoners generally cannot afford this, and their achievements in this regard are mostly limited.
Although Viscount Carter is regarded as a model of ignorance in official circles, he is deeply in love with this ancient civilization, and even said that he is the first person in the study of ancient earth culture among scholars of the Hanhai Empire. It is precisely because His attainment in this area, so Xie Gu was able to pull people into this team.
Scholars are usually a bit arrogant, especially when they are refuted by a layman in their areas of expertise, Viscount Carter blushed: “Miss Shaxin, I know you are very capable in politics, but the ancient earth culture, I think my opinion is more authoritative than yours!” Sha Xin snorted: “But what we are discussing now is political issues.”
Viscount Carter’s eyes turned red with anger: “But I don’t think other scholars will necessarily believe it!”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Molly frowned and stopped them directly: “Okay.”
She wanted to reconcile a few words, but Xie Gu said, “Carter, how do you think your research on ancient earth culture is?”
Viscount Carter subconsciously straightened his chest: “Among the scholars I know, there are no more than five people whose research is deeper than mine.”
Xie Gu asked again: “Then according to you, if the things I brought up to you really existed on the ancient earth, is there any illogicality?”
Viscount Carter thought for a while: “As far as I know, I haven’t found anything wrong yet, and the content of a civilization is vast, even if there is illogicality, it must be because I haven’t studied enough. In-depth, thought and culture are inherently illogical things, so that it is more dazzling and dazzling than cold technology, and can be called art…”
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he almost danced. Unfortunately, Xie Gu immediately stopped his urge to publish a long speech, and said directly: “That’s fine.”
Viscount Carter was taken aback: “…What’s the matter?”
Xie Gu said: “If anyone doubts, just reply to them like this.”
He smiled, as sophisticated and cunning as a fox: “Human thought and culture are inherently illogical, and such imperfections create beauty and can be called art…”
“… eh?” That makes sense?
Xie Gu stood up directly: “What’s more, I don’t think anyone will question it.”
He clapped his hands: “The last item is over. Tomorrow Carter and Shaxin will come with us and end the meeting.”
After speaking, Xie Gu turned around and left the field first.
…
Early the next morning, Irene and several inspectors who were interested in ancient earth culture and some accompanying officials and guards set off from the station.
Xie Gu and Molly are of course going to be together. In addition, Carter and Sha Xin, who were named by Xie Gu last night, are also with him. Carter is because he is a researcher of ancient earth culture. On the other hand, Sha Xin took advantage of his status as a diplomat. On the surface, he received the accompanying supervisors, but in fact, he was instructed by Xie Gu to help Carter when necessary.
– Carter is a traditional scholar, and his character is gentle and gentle. Although he knows what he should do, he may not be able to resist the sharp questioning of the inspector. Pull the core, maybe it will reveal the stuffing.
The “remains” claimed by Xie Gu was on a waste star one light-year away from the Hanhai Star Territory. After accurate positioning, you can directly open the space jump to arrive, which is a total of ten minutes.
After arriving at the place, before landing on this planet, you can see from a distance that under the artificially constructed protective layer, there are many buildings rising from the ground, and many figures shuttle back and forth, seeming to be busy.
Irene frowned at these buildings: “What is this for?”
How big is this ruin? Cover the entire planet, right?
Xie Gu glanced at it and wrote lightly, “Reform through labor.”
Irene reacted for a while before realizing that Xie Gu was saying that these buildings were built by the captured army.
She couldn’t help but be even more dissatisfied: “Didn’t the marshal say that these people are developing ancient earth ruins?”
Xie Gu nodded: “Yes, but how big can a ruin be? We just found a spaceship that sank deep into the ground. Although we have obtained a lot of memory chips, the main way to recover the information inside is to rely on It’s still technical personnel, but I can’t just let this army go, can I?”
Irene is angry – can’t you kill if you can’t let it go?
However, before she could speak, another official in the supervisory envoy hurriedly said, “Memory chip? Haven’t recovered the information yet?”
You must know that with the current level of technology, it is very easy and fast to decompress a large piece of information, but according to Xie Gu’s words, it has been almost a month, and it should have been cracked to obtain all the information, unless…
Xie Gu glanced at the official and nodded, with a smile in his eyes: “Yes, Earl Russell, although the surface of the spacecraft we found was severely damaged and eroded, the memory chip related to the ancient Earth information records. The integrity is very high, and the content is very large. According to Mr. Carter’s speculation, this is likely to be a ‘tinder’ sent by our ancestors consciously during the ancient earth period.”
Earl Russell was stunned for a moment: “Tinder?”
Viscount Carter swallowed, knowing that it was time for him to play.
He nodded: “Yes, in the ancient earth period, our ancestors began to explore the universe, on the one hand, they wanted to explore the civilizations of other planets, and on the other hand, they wanted to find habitable planets, so they sent ‘tinder’ The spaceship, which records a lot of information about the ancient earth, is to prevent a devastating event from happening in the future, and human civilization will completely disappear.”
Viscount Carter took another deep breath and tried to make it up based on history: “It’s just that our ancestors did discover creatures such as Zerg, but they only wanted to destroy human civilization. After a long war, although our The ancestors wiped out all the enemies, but also exhausted all the power, lost the civilization, let alone let the descendants know the existence of this ‘tinder’.
“But Earl Russell, have you ever thought about it, how did we re-emerge in a short period of about 10,000 years, even surpassing the technology developed by our ancestors in hundreds of thousands of years or even longer?”
Earl Russell was obviously a little stunned by Viscount Carter’s words, but he quickly reacted: “…You mean, ‘Tinder’?”
“Yes,” Viscount Carter had a frenzy in his eyes. “The spaceship on this waste star should be the second ‘tinder’ discovered since the re-emergence of human civilization!”
“Furthermore,” his voice tightened slightly, “the difference from the last time is that this time’s ‘tinder’ records more about the customs and culture of the ancient earth period, and there are relatively few parts about science and technology, but it just fills up a large number of ancient earth. A blank in civilization research!”
The author has something to say: Viscount Carter: I feel that I have reached the highest level of acting skills, I make up myself
