Chapter 165: There are many crises

What made Jiang Qing depressed was why this battle could not be delayed for half a year? It was just that at this time.

Due to the faction's namelessness, the day the fleet set out, the calls for anti-war at home and abroad have been rising and falling. Judging from the scale of the war and the current situation, it cannot end within half a year. This means that by the next election to the head of state, the war will continue, which means that during his tenure, he cannot give the people a perfect explanation for this war. This situation is very unfavorable for him to fight for re-election.

Even if the Aojia Empire finally won the victory of this war, it would be the achievement of the next head of state. No matter how it is calculated, this war is not worth the loss for Jiang Qing.

The four-year term made the head of the Aojia Empire a passerby, and only the powerful figures such as the Secretary of State were the mainstay of the empire.

Jiang Qing smiled ugly and asked, "My Secretary of State, I am fully cooperating with you when you work hard to promote this war. At this point, you can give me some fun and don't worry me. The Federation questioned three times a day and put on a stance to provoke troops and ask for crimes. The national anti-war mood is also rising. It's easy to explain the smooth battle on the front line. Once the war is frustrated, our lives will be sad."

The Secretary of State smiled and said, "With the strength of the Aojia Empire today, a few hostile forces pose no threat. Moreover, the person who took charge this time is Lu Beiyan. This man has fought for half his life and has never been defeated. We just need to tell him the current situation. Don't urge him too much, let alone interfere with him. When it comes to military use, we are laymen after all. What we can do is to resist the pressure of public opinion and gain plenty of time for him. Speaking of public opinion pressure, the empire's past expeditions in the past century, the Federation has always held opposition, just listen, don't care too much. The voices of anti-war in China are what you need to pay attention to. How do you know that these anti-war voices are not ulterior motives?"

Although he could gain something every time he had a deep conversation with the Secretary of State, Jiang Qing was still stunned and asked: "The Secretary of State seems to have some advice."

The Secretary of State nodded and said, "The fatal threat is always hidden in an invisible place. The Aojia Empire formulated a national policy of fighting to support war a hundred years ago. Since then, it has fought for years and its territory has expanded rapidly. The advantage of this national policy is that on the one hand, it can open up territory, and on the other hand, it can ease the private struggles of family forces. Continuous wars will lead to continuous interests. Even if the family is dissatisfied with the current division of interests, they can always have new expectations of interests. Since the implementation of the national policy of fighting to support war, all major families have been able to remain peaceful and their national strength has developed rapidly. However, any measure has both advantages and disadvantages. While the territory is expanded rapidly, it also leaves hidden dangers."

After all, Jiang Qing served as the head of state for three years and had some understanding of the situation of the empire. He thought: "Is it possible that the Secretary of State is worried about the colonial stars."

The Secretary of State smiled and said, "That is, there are too many colonial stars in the Aojia Empire. The fleet of the empire is invincible and can conquer everything wherever it goes. Some planets even take the initiative to rely on and are willing to become affiliated planets of the Aojia Empire. They hope to share the civilization and prosperity of the Aojia Empire. However, the empire did not bring them civilization, but instead plundered all resources. Their lives were not as good as before. At present, they dared to be angry but dared not speak out because of the power of the Aojia Empire. This silent resentment is the most terrifying. When they colluded with external forces, the Aojia Empire was struggling inside and outside."

Jiang Qin thought about it. Indeed, the decline of the huge empire in history collapsed from the inside, and the most unstable internal factor of the Aojia Empire was the colonial star. The Secretary of State was able to be prescient and prevent problems before they happened, which was wise. However, he questioned: "Since the Secretary of State saw hidden dangers, why bother to move troops? We should try to eliminate them first."

The Secretary of State shook his head and said, "The war may lead to internal forces' rebellion, but if you eliminate hidden dangers first, are you not afraid of foreign enemies taking advantage of the situation? For an empire that is used to fighting, war is simpler. It is possible to make achievements before all forces have colluded. When they recover, everything has settled. Anyway, the Aojia Empire is a famous invader, and others have been accustomed to it. If we don't fight, they will be surprised. In extraordinary times, everything must be focused on stability. At least when fighting can stabilize the family forces and prevent civil strife. After all, public grievances are unconscious. We can find ways to suppress and guide, but the foreign enemies are eyeing us at all times. The empire suddenly stopped expanding, and there will be turmoil within. They will inevitably notice it, so my old strategy is to fight against foreign countries first."

Jiang Qing was convinced and sighed: "The Secretary of State is worthy of being a pillar of the empire, with a broad mind and a bold look. I really hope to win the next head of state election. I don't seek fame or profit, but I hope to fight side by side with you and stand on the same boat through thick and thin."

The Secretary of State smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that the head of the Aojia Empire was not done by humans?"

Jiang Qing said ashamedly: "That's because I can't see what I'm doing? To be honest, I've been the head of state for three years and my term is about to expire. I often wonder if what I did during my four years in power is meaningful."

After all, I have been working together for more than three years and support and trust each other. The Secretary of State told me frankly: "You might as well tell you that the next head of state will be the most difficult term. The Aojia Empire has experienced a hundred years of rapid expansion, and the accumulated hidden dangers have come to an outbreak. The former colonial stars were strictly controlled by weapons and could not cause any trouble, but now it is different. Any adult who has no criminal record can buy a mecha and gather an army in an instant. This hidden force is terrifying than any external force.

Although the empire is strong, it is controlled by various major families. In this situation, it is easy to form a joint force when fighting foreign wars. However, once civil strife occurs, there will be many obstacles to calm down. It is difficult to ensure that ambitious families will not take advantage of the chaos. Therefore, the Aojia Empire has been frightened by all civil strife. In addition, even if this war is won, the empire is still threatened by the outside world. We have a bigger enemy, and we are just fighting for room for maneuver. That situation is not something you can control, but it needs a strong head of state to suppress it."

Jiang Qing was confused when he heard this, but he had no doubt about the advice from the Secretary of State.

"Don't worry, that's a year or two later. Don't you often ask me why the Chen family has not seen any movement for decades? When it comes to that situation, it is when they take action. What we need to do now is to pay close attention to the domestic situation, not only the anti-war voices, but also the terrorist activities."

Jiang Qing was shocked again: "The Secretary of State believes that they are going to launch a terrorist attack in the empire."

The Secretary of State laughed and said, "Hostile forces cannot be left alone, they are still eager to jump over the wall. They are unable to resist the empire's heroic soldiers. What else can they use to fight back? The clown who jumps the beam is best at is just a side-door."

Jiang Qing looked embarrassed and said, "In order to prevent terrorist activities, intelligence is the key. The director of the CIA resigned at this time. The successor was assassinated before he took office. This position is still vacant. Who are I asked to go to?"

The Secretary of State smiled: "Of course I'm looking for the old lion. Not to mention that no one takes over the Intelligence Bureau, even if someone takes over, he doesn't want to replace his position without two or three years."

Jiang Qingwei said: "He has resigned now and is he recuperating at home. Are you suitable for him?"

The Secretary of State laughed and said, "It's not okay to find him for this matter. If you want to find the person behind him, leave it to me."

The Xiunan Star, the sweep of the rebel base was in full swing, especially when the rebels decided to give up the base, the imperial fleet immediately increased its offensive, siege the city and seized the terrain as if it were unstoppable. Marshal Lu was familiar with the difficulties of the head of state and his family, changed his past calm and low-key style. Good news came frequently for a while. If there was anything that could relieve the people's anti-war mood, there was only good news!

When people see the sacrifice of their relatives in exchange for the glory of the empire, they always feel a little relieved. In addition, the Empire Fleet has changed its traditional bandit style and has no hesitation to use the originally inadequate supply to build more than a thousand temporary camps for the Xiunan Star to settle refugees displaced due to war, where indigenous refugees can get food and medical services.

The authorities were fascinated by the indigenous peoples who were ravaged by war for a hundred years. Whenever they had received this favor, whether they were government forces or rebels, they were plundering and trauma. The indigenous people who received the benefits began to shake, and they believed that good days were coming, and even hoped that the empire's fleet would become the master of this land, the sooner the better.

In this war-pervading Xiu Dan Star has become the area with the weakest anti-war call. After paying the price, Lu Beiyan certainly had to use this emotion to create momentum, so that refugees can live in and properly resettled videos are overwhelming. In the video, the indigenous refugees' love for the Imperial fleet is undisguised, and the videos taken during humanitarian rescue are in sharp contrast.

"Don't the army want to kill people and set fire? Are they going to rob food and rape women? The empire's fleet is so good. It's not like the army. If we don't kill us, we will give food and live there." An indigenous old man's dry eyes were filled with tears. He said such words in a trembling voice. Everyone could hear the message implicit in this sentence. The army is a beast, a thug, and this is the impression left by the government forces and the rebels.

Honest voices can always touch the soul. Although people cannot understand the indigenous language, they can feel sadness just by translating the words.

"It would be great if this situation could be maintained." Walking in the refugee relief center, Lu Lingxue murmured to herself, obeying her father's orders. In her spare time, she took the initiative to invite her fiancé out for a walk.

"You are leading a six million imperial fleet to fight. Do you think he is here to help the poor." Chen Fang chuckled and poured cold water on a basin of cold water.

"I said if." Lu Lingxue refuted dissatisfiedly. Although she had a good wish, she was not a childish little girl.

"As long as the national policy of the Aojia Empire remains unchanged, they are destined to be the next colonial star. Then again, it is not difficult to maintain the status quo. Although the colonial star is poor, it is richer than them, and the political situation is stable, no one slaughtered them. Their situation is bad enough, it cannot be worse than now, let alone they don't want much." Chen Fang is not a straitor, and he believes that while the empire plunders, he should do something for the indigenous people, which is not difficult. To be honest, there is nothing to plunder in the Xiunan Star, which is also the reason why the empire has long turned a blind eye to this planet. This action is purely based on the situation of war.

The clothes behind suddenly tightened, Chen Fang turned his head and saw an indigenous child holding him.

"What are you doing?" Chen Fang asked in a half-baked native language, but unfortunately he asked in vain. The child didn't say anything, but just looked at him with a strange look.

"Indigenous children are used to it. Anyone who sees people wearing imperial uniforms will go up and hold them up. They can usually get something to eat or use." Lu Lingxue smiled slightly.

Chen Fang was slow and developed this habit in less than two weeks. This group of natives had quite a strong adaptability. Generosity was the quality of the nobles, so of course he could not be stingy. He took out two compressed biscuits at the moment.

"You just give this to the child? You can also give it a try." Lu Lingxue was amused, but any expression on her charming little face could make people's heart beat.

"I can swallow it, why can't I take it? From a nutritional perspective, compressed biscuits are good things, and they can also satisfy hunger, which is better than snacks." Chen Fang didn't care. The child's performance did not embarrass him. He took the biscuits and ran away, as if he was afraid that he would grab them back.

"Maybe because of your weakness, you pay great attention to nutrition. I noticed that you are using the Zhengbang series of kw-25 liquid nutritional foods, but it has been discontinued recently. I guess you have finished eating it because of war. In addition, you never eat snacks, so there is nothing left on you except the few remaining compressed biscuits. I guess this is the reason why you compressed biscuits for your children." Lu Lingxue smiled.

"kw-25?" Chen Fang was stunned when he heard this. He could not have imagined that his fiancée not only noticed his secret, but also called out the name of the liquid food. To be honest, after eating it for so long, he didn't remember what brand of that thing was.

"This is a military brand, and not many people know it. In fact, the market positioning of this product is very failed. Even in the military, it is not sold well. As a military supply, its price is too luxurious. As a civilian, it has obvious flaws. I guess you bought it from the Mercenary Association." Lu Lingxue talked freely, with the style of a nutrition expert.

"What are the flaws in this thing?" After all, it is daily food. Chen Fang had to ask the truth. The things sold by the Mercenary Association generally only focus on effectiveness and have very few considerations on safety.

"Didn't you feel it?" Lu Lingxue thought of the trick that made her unable to solve it, and she couldn't help but feel revenge.

"Just say it straight." Chen Fang didn't feel any side effects after using this thing. He was confused and screamed in anger.

"Are you scared?" Lu Lingxue was unmoved, looking majestic and invincible.

"I hate others who speak in a while and keep it in hindrance, and don't say anything." Chen Fang turned around and walked forward.

"The disadvantage of this food is that as a civilian nutritious food, it can make people eat enough. That is to say, if you use it to supplement nutrition, you have to give up the fun of tasting delicious food. Anyone who has the financial resources to buy kw-25 may not want to lose this fun. Are you right? Didn't you still eat erotic with my brother after eating? You are so uncomfortable that you complain." Lu Lingxue kept making exclamations.

"I was forced by your father. I ate less, so he threatened to bring the cook to the front line. By the way, since you noticed it, why don't you tell your father?" Chen Fang learned that the so-called defect was just a joke, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Nutritional food and dancing recovery methods were very effective, and it was simple and easy to do. He could persist most of the time, but he didn't want to be wasted just like this.

"If you don't want to say it, there are naturally your reasons. Why should I be troublesome? But I'll give you a suggestion. Oxfam has a similar product that was launched four months ago. You might as well try it." Lu Lingxue recommended it very carefully.

"Is it better than what I use now?" Chen Fang was skeptical.

"kw-25 is a product launched ten years ago. From the perspective of technological progress, Oxfam's products must be more advantageous, and there are hundreds of different flavors to choose from. It will not be too difficult to swallow when used for a long time." Lu Lingxue's smile was strange, and she didn't know whether it was a kind suggestion or a deliberate joke. Indeed, even if it was a delicious food, it was difficult to eat continuously. Moreover, liquid food is a temporary emergency, and it has no taste. If you use it for a long time, you may have a weakened teeth and digestive functions. However, using taste as a basis for choosing food is too scattered and too extravagant.

Chen Fang had to use liquid food. In other words, he took that kind of thing as medicine, so of course he wouldn't be picky about the taste. Is the good medicine bitter? It's not professional enough to consider the taste.

"Thank you for your reminder. I'd better use the kw-25, which is the advice of professionals." Chen Fang made a decision to himself regardless of other people's feelings.

"It's okay." Lu Lingxue didn't care. Nutritional foods have roughly the same ingredients. Oxfam is just a few concepts. For ordinary people, this difference can almost be ignored.

Either the topic of losing nutrition or the atmosphere, the two of them ushered in a sudden silence, strolling aimlessly, and suddenly, a soft music broke the silence.

You can know without looking at it. This is from Lu Lingxue's data terminal. Women and men are different after all. Although Chen Fang is a top data expert, he is unwilling to work on the prompt sound. He has changed it once and changed the original beautiful female voice to a simple one.

Simplicity is beauty. Science proves that in the ever-changing environment, this simple and harsh sound is most easily heard and distinguished by people, but Lu Lingxue is different. Her data terminal, the prompt sound is a cheerful and soft piece of music, very beautiful and healthy.

"Someone is looking for you~" Chen Fang deliberately kept silent. It is rumored that the most beautiful woman in the empire rarely interacts with others, and her father or brother could not find her in this way. So, who is the person who is looking for her?
