Yang Ming said seriously:

"There are no regrets after war, only fighting and sacrifice. War is never right. The destruction of human civilization by war is far greater than the stimulation of human technology by war.

"But please note that war is not our active option. If we are indifferent to the New Federation assassinating the top leaders of an entire department of the empire, what will happen next? It will be an intensified erosion and a more rampant attack. This war

It started a long time ago, from the time they squeezed the living space of hundreds of billions of people in the empire, from the time they continued to invade our internal systems. Remember, the empire has long been at the pinnacle of the galaxy. They are the challengers, and they are the initiators of the war.

.

"As the beneficiaries of the empire's power, as imperial people, what we should be thinking about is not how to criticize the imperial army that defends this powerful empire, but to face the real demons that provoke us."

After Yang Ming finished speaking, he shook his head at the female student. The latter tried to say something, but several students had already gathered around and stopped her behind.

Someone should have some intellectual talk with her later.

Artero had already rushed over, glanced at the female student, smiled and asked Yang Ming to go to the office area.

Of course Yang Ming wouldn't mind this girl's problem.

He just felt that it was not enough.

The speed of the imperial train is far from enough at this moment.

…

After the welcome ceremony, the projections of the heads of various departments of the Military Intelligence Bureau dispersed, and Her Royal Highness Princess Daphne began to visit the entire base.

In the newly decorated deputy director's office, Yang Ming and Artero sat down on the sofa in the corner.

Artro asked in a low voice: "Are you looking for some beauties to come and have a drink with us? There are many students here who will do some private work for their future and empire coins."

"Do you want to experience Daphne's jealousy?"

Yang Ming asked with a smile.

"Of course not."

Atero raised his eyebrows, crossed his legs, and said warmly:

"My third uncle said, you may only be here for a while. Let us cherish this time. What do you want to do? I know a great sea view scenic spot, and there are some nearby that are famous in the Emperor Star Circle.

nightclub.

"Of course, if you want to bring Her Royal Highness Daphne with you, that's also possible. The royal family knows more about it than we do."

"I'm here to work."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I will aim to rectify the external affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau and make some achievements here," Yang Ming said with a smile. "By the way, before I leave, I will help you deal with a few competitors."

"Well, I have no competitors. There are many vacant positions at the top level of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The reason is that the war broke out and the Military Intelligence Bureau needed manpower, so the original structure was not changed."

Artro looked thoughtful:

"If you want to make some achievements, it is actually very unwise to rectify the external department of the Military Intelligence Bureau, because it will take a long time. I can say clearly that without five to ten years of effort, there will be a lot of vacancies in this area.

Difficult to fill.

"But if we do something that His Majesty likes and is beneficial to the empire, it will be different. Not only can we get immediate results, but we can also earn a lot of political capital for us."

Yang Ming leaned sideways: "A nobleman?"

"Yes, I have a large number of evidence here that the big nobles embezzled the military expenditures of the local defense forces, but the various forces involved are too small for me to dare to tamper with."

Artero began to talk:

"Hanton, you may not be aware of the problem here.

"The local defense forces seem to have nothing to do with the great nobles who own the territory. However, according to a bill promulgated by the empire a long time ago, in order to protect the noble territories, the local defense forces will increase beyond the standard, that is, increase above the original standard.

The over-expenditure of military expenses caused by the warships was shared between the imperial official, local finance, and the local nobles who owned the territory. The ratio was 5:3:2. A method often used by the nobles was to hang their private fleets for local defense.

As the army increases, use the empire's money to support your own ships.

"However, this is a more routine and less harmful approach.

"When the hereditary nobles extended their hands to the local defense forces, all kinds of corruption and theft of local military funds became common and common. When the last insect plague broke out, there was a serious lack of combat power in the local fleets. On paper

The problem of combat forces being unable to reach the designated battlefield.

"Now that we are fighting on the front line, there is a huge gap in military expenditures. I think it is time to harvest a wave of these extremely rich pigs."

Artro spoke for a moment.

"Only you can do this, Hanton."

Yang Ming nodded and sat there, lost in thought.

Atero really did not disappoint him.

It can be said that this guy has no sense of the overall situation.

When a war begins on the front line, the most important thing is to maintain unity and stability at the rear, not to mention the fact that there are thousands of private fleets from nobles who are reinforcing the front line.

At this time, using the black hole of local military expenditures to target this group of nobles is not equivalent to raiding the homes of these private fleets?

Then... wouldn't he have one more fire within the empire?

However, Yang Ming is still more cautious.

The threat of Li is right above his head, and he can't make a wrong move now.

"My suggestion is to ask our third uncle."

"Uh, okay," Atero said with some distress, "Hanton, my brother, my idol, the two of us can handle the matter. My third uncle will definitely be very conservative. We just need to inform His Majesty in advance.

"

"Our Military Intelligence Bureau is a department affiliated with the Military Ministry," Yang Ming said earnestly, "Your Majesty's favor has a time limit. Look at me, the Military Ministry's trust and support are the most important to you.

of."

Artero leaned back.

He wouldn't call the old emperor a big idiot...

"I'll contact them tonight."

"Okay, I'll take a rest first," Yang Ming stretched, "Take me to my residence."

"Follow me," Artero said with a smile, "I've prepared a little surprise for you."

The next chapter will be updated tomorrow. I’m taking half a day off to hang out with some senior authors from Shandong.
Chapter completed!
