There is a good saying, "put it to death and then live", in the bad situation of the Star Alliance's large and small forces forming an offensive and defensive alliance and crowding out and suppressing the "Morning Star Casting", he can only break the cauldron and fight the Star Alliance government to the end, and then stand up for this road.

Lord Earl is naturally happy to see someone obstruct those people in the council, not to mention a smart person like Tang Fang, the next game must be very interesting, and the next story must be very exciting.

How can you miss such a big movie? That will be regretted for the rest of your life!

"Tang Fang, I am very optimistic about you, tell me about your conditions, as long as it is not too excessive, I will try my best to meet you. Also, you are a talent, a rare talent! If one day you get tired of life in the Covenant, you can come to me...... His Majesty the Holy Emperor has always been a person who cherishes talents and loves talents. ”

It can be seen that the Earl is very happy, and the five fingers of his right hand are gently tapping his knees, regular and rhythmic, like an ancient tune - "Dotting the Lips".

Tang Fang removed the sling, wrapped it around the "injured" arm, and said indifferently: "Thank you Lord Earl for your kindness, if I am down, I will come to disturb me." ”

His eyes kept on his arm as he spoke, and he looked very insincere, Marlowe? Smith didn't care at all, because this was a polite remark, a smart person like him has always been high, how could he let others see the down-and-out side, if he really planned to join the Phoenix Empire and serve His Majesty the Holy Emperor, he would inevitably bring enough value to his name.

"Then it's decided, I look forward to the day when we can be officials in the same dynasty."

Tang Fang still smiled faintly and said softly about his conditions: "Boyle has become a dead corpse, but that agreement can't be a piece of waste paper, those minerals are mine." ”

Marlowe waved his hand and said casually, "Meaningless." ”

Those mineral resources were not the property of the empire in the first place, once the scandal came to light. The Star Alliance must have no face to beg for it, and if it is generous to others, Lord Earl will naturally not feel distressed.

Tang Fang didn't rush to thank him, but lowered his head and whispered, "Lord Earl, you know. I'm tight on my hand...... 'Morningstar Forge' is still an empty shell......"

Marlowe's two eyebrows were raised like swords, and then they fell again, twitching the corners of his mouth and saying, "Don't want money, give it away for nothing!" ”

Tang Fang raised his head, his smiling face was like "Babylon" outside the window, and his eyes were hot: "That's so thankful." ”

The Governor felt his eyes tingle, sighed, and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

He felt that Captain Tang would not only have such a small amount of equipment, and the above transaction was just a flower offering to the Buddha. The so-called direct evidence should be more valuable.

Sure enough, the kid counted and counted with 10 fingers, and said, "I still need 1,000 tons of zero elements." ”

What is the value of 1000 tons of zeros? According to today's market price, 15W star coins 1KG is 150 billion!

Marlowe looked at his face and said, "What do you want to do with so many zeros?" ”

But before Tang Fang could reply, Lord Earl suddenly said, "Okay." I promise you. ”

He felt that the above question was very stupid, "Morningstar Casting" is a military enterprise. What can you do with zero prime? 150 billion is a huge amount of money, but the actual value of 1,000 tons of zero elements is not so much, and now the mineral price of "Babylon" is inflated, if it is placed in the past, a maximum of 50 billion can be taken.

"The Earl is such a cheerful man."

Although there was some hypocrisy, Tang Fang still complimented. Because that's not all there is to it, he has other plans.

"I need some morrisnus, at least 200 people."

He spoke quickly, and when he finished speaking, his astonishment slowly bloomed on the face of the Governor.

You can use minerals. It's okay to have zero prime, but ...... Such a request, Maurice Slave, is excessive, for it is a flagrant violation of imperial law.

Over the years, the Phoenix Empire has been criticized in the international community and on human rights issues, and countries such as the Star Alliance and the Charles Federation will accuse the Empire of treating Morris Slave with no humanity at all, so Morris is a very sensitive topic and the weakness of the Phoenix Empire.

If it was just one person or two, the Earl might have opened one eye and closed one eye and let him do his own thing, but how did this kid do it? One mouth is 200 people, it's like a lion's mouth.

"What do you want so many people for?"

Marlow? Smith was very vigilant and sensible, and did not feel that the two sides were already friends, allies, and brothers in the trenches because Tang Fang wanted to tear up his face with the Star Alliance, and this was just a deal to take what he needed.

Tang Fang did not hesitate, and said calmly: "I have no money, no land, and no manpower, Morrisnu is very obedient, as long as he is restrained, he will be a big help...... You know, I don't believe in the people of the Star Alliance, or I don't believe in everyone in the Tianchao Zone...... There are many people who want my life, and even more people who covet what I have in my hands. ”

Marlowe's gaze was like two long swords with cold light, so sharp, so cold, as if they could kill.

He found that he paid more and more attention to the young man in front of him, and the above sentence was very polite, but it was very real, Captain Tang just said what he thought in his heart, without hiding it at all, and without showing flattery, which was rare and smarter.

Because of these words, he was moved, so the noble earl slowly closed his eyes, and then quickly opened: "Okay, I promise you, but the premise is that you can't use these 200 people as political articles." ”

Tang Fang didn't thank him, sighed, and said in a helpless and sad tone: "I'm a businessman, that's all...... I can't change anything but myself, and over the years, the Star Alliance and the Charles Federation have done so much about Morrisnu, but what is the result? Has anything changed? No...... Nothing has changed, I have made enough enemies, and I don't want to be enemies with you, Lord Governor, that would do me more harm than good. ”

These words contain his personal feelings and interests, which are both true and moving.

Until this point, Marlowe? Smith breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the guy in front of him was a living person, not a calculating instrument.

"I want to see the direct evidence you have."

Tang Fang glanced at Lao Cori, who didn't know what he was thinking on the single sofa on his left, and took out a miniature PDA from his arms and placed it on the coffee table where the three of them could see it. Swipe the trackpad and press play.

The screen flashed, and a video appeared in front of the three people.

Looking at the picture and listening to the dialogue of the protagonists, the smile on the lips of the Earl grew thicker and thicker, like the soup stock that the chef poured on the dish. The color is bright and the taste is beautiful, refreshing.

But Old Corey's expression was extremely moved, and his face was as white as a piece of paper, because he was one of the protagonists of that video.

The conversation between him, Horace, Benedict, and Agnes about the premeditated kidnapping of Tang Fang was actually recorded!

How is it possible, how did the Tang side do it? Old Corey's dry lips squirmed a few times, and he suddenly remembered the invisible agents who appeared in the "Adano" warehouse, and he suddenly realized, and then the expression on his face became extraordinarily wonderful, stunned, puzzled, dazed, lost, and shocked...... And so on. It's like a pot of good-looking poon choi, where all kinds of flavors are piled up and melted together.

He had always thought that he had been successful in the "Venice" hotel, that it was impeccable, but now it seemed that it was nothing more than a lame one-man show.

"This kid is not human!"

Marlow? Smith didn't notice the old Corry's expression, otherwise, it would have been even more strange. Because in his understanding, this video must be the name of the shameful renegade to the new master.

It's a pity that most of his attention is now focused on video materials. Completely ignoring the strange expression on the face of the person sitting opposite, of course, even if he did, he might not have the heart to guess the hidden truth, because the rest of his attention was on another matter.

"So they didn't want to kill you, they kidnapped you!"

He recalled what Tang Fang said just now - "There are many people who want my life. There are more people who covet what I have in my hands. ”

Marlowe looked at Tang Fang: "What's the matter with the living battleship?" There was something more in his eyes, and it was longing.

Tang Fang said: "I was wronged. ”

Marlowe didn't believe it: "For a flower to attract the attention of visitors, it must be more enchanting and showy than the other flowers around it." ”

This is a metaphor, not obscure. It's very clear, Captain Tang won't not understand.

Of course Tang Fang understood, and even noticed the greed that flashed in the earl's eyes for a moment, he raised his hand, and somewhat vulgarly plucked out the ear piercing, and then blew the earwax everywhere.

"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard in half my life."

He said: "Me and 'Daystar Pharmaceutical', who do you prefer to own the biological battleship?" ”

Marlow? Smith was silent.

Tang Fang continued: "Aren't you curious about the origin of that mysterious battleship? I think...... You're more curious about the origin of the corpse in the storeroom. ”

Marlowe's eyes became extraordinarily bright, like a cat hidden in a corner in the night.

"You mean...... Someone is going to blame you...... That battleship...... From 'Daystar'? ”

"Because they knew I would survive, and that corpse was the evidence of my murder of Horace and the others."

"Are they so sure you'll survive?"

Tang Fang stared at Marlowe closely: "Even if it is your governor's palace, Lord Earl, if I want to leave, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop me, if you don't believe it, it doesn't hurt to give it a try, of course, it has a bet, it is this deal." ”

Marlowe's ten fingers slowly flattened, rubbed back and forth on his knees a few times, his facial expression changed from stiff to soft, and finally squeezed out a slightly unnatural smile: "It's not early, how about going to dinner?" ”

Since Captain Tang can take out two complete Epsilon ruins at the "Somar" auction, it is reasonable to say that there are other treasures. Marlow? Smith didn't dare to take any chances, even if the other party was singing about the city's plan.

"Yes, chef of the Governor's Palace, he must have good skills."

Old Corey sat still until Tang Fang patted him on the shoulder, and then he woke up like a dream and stood up suddenly.

The sunlight blocked by Marlowe sprinkled on the coffee table, shining on those fragments of earwax, which was a little untidy.

Corey? Christian felt that they were like Tang Fang's words, true and false, false and false, all of which were lies of, but ...... But it makes people have to believe it.

He felt that a person like Captain Tang who didn't do business would definitely be a waste of talent, and he would be too able to deceive people!

…………

In Marlowe? Under Smith's deliberate cover-up, the morning incident did not spread, and everyone who knew about it was given a gag order, so that no one knew that Horace and Benedict were dead.

At about 1 p.m. The "Yakoda" space station foreign affairs management office received a ciphertext message from "Alcaisie", the sender showed that it was Benedict, as for the content, it was generally a little bit of a temporary situation, and the original plan was postponed to the evening, so please prepare the Star Alliance government.

The so-called preparation. It's nothing more than two things, look at the "Morning Star" and look closely at those in the "Venice" hotel.

Kennan? Rupert is a middle-aged man with a quiet temperament and elegant demeanor, and as early as when the "Morning Star" had just arrived in "Babylon", he carefully paid attention to the itinerary of several people from the Tang side, because he not only had a close relationship with O'Neiens, but also had a lifelong friendship with Clement, the former chief executive of "Lokia".

Tang Fang ruined Clement in "Lokia", which made him very angry. Because Kennan? Rupert knows better than anyone that Clement is an out-and-out patriot, how could he do such a thing, there must be something else hidden here.

He is a person who values friendship, and naturally he will not sit idly by and watch his friend being framed and ignore it, and in the process of calling the military of "Jakarta Pur", he found that Newton? Bell and the others flickered in their words and refused to cooperate. And some big figures in the presidential palace even harshly asked him to stop the small actions behind his back, otherwise. It will have a huge negative impact on the entire Star Alliance.

Kenan and Clement are like-minded friends and patriots, and since investigating this matter will bring shame on the Alliance, he can only give up the idea of rehabilitating his friend and treat Clement as a tragic hero worthy of respect.

In the face of justice, he can give up the investigation. But it doesn't mean that Tang Fang will be let go.

Just like this time, the "Rover Technology Consortium" carried out a kidnapping operation under the direction of the parliament, and companies such as "Iga Industries" and "Ward Heavy Industries" participated in this game, and the government naturally had to do some "modest help".

And the official in charge of scheduling and execution on the "Babylonian" side is Kennan? Rupert. It was an errand he had asked for from Councillor O'Neill on his own behalf.

For ordinary officials, this may be a drudgery that cannot be avoided, because with Clement's experience, no one knows whether Captain Tang will jump off the wall in a hurry in the end, and pull a few pads on his back when he is dying, but for Kennan? Rupert was concerned, but it was a long-awaited American mistake, and he hoped more than anyone else that Captain Don would die in "Alcaisie".

Horace just wanted to take Tang Fang's leg, but he wanted Tang Fang's life.

Of course, there are people who are far more miserable to live than to die, Kennan? Rupert only understood this truth at noon, and when "Horace" sent a cipher saying that the plan was postponed until the evening, the elegant foreign minister told "him": "Let it go, I will bear it for you." ”

"Accident" has always been a good excuse, both for the people and for some people in the parliament.

Horace's second reply was in the evening of the "Youngolda", and the light of "Babylon" spread out on the porthole, like a pancake fried to 9 ripe, golden in color, crispy in quality, and wafting with the pure aroma of wheat.

The letter contained only two short words, "Understood! ”

Kennan turned off the communication terminal on his desk, removed his trench coat from the bright red solid wood coat rack in the corner of the room, took off his hat, and walked out of the room with light steps.

The shuttle in the hangar has been on standby for a long time, except for the 2 pilots, and there are 24 Sea Falcon special forces sitting in the back cabin, they are all the elite of the "Babylon" navy, and they are generally used as the main assault force in the ship-grabbing battle, and their personal strength is very strong.

This time, their target was not the boat, but the people—women and children.

On the way to the "hanging garden" of the shuttle, Kennan? Rupert had been thinking about one thing, what would the people at the "Venice" hotel do if they learned that something had happened to Captain Tang? Will it resist? Or be honestly a prisoner for a while?

If they choose to resist, what should they do?

Perhaps, it would be better to kill them all, isn't there an old saying in the East? The wildfires are inexhaustible, the wind blows and grows, he doesn't want to leave any hidden dangers for himself, and ...... That's what O'Neill meant.

Although His Excellency was very vague, he understood. Officialdom has always been a place for tempering people.

Bilde, the governor of the district of "Babylon"? Percy must have taken a seat in the Starlight Building in the Hanging Gardens, and the ambassadors of the Sulu and Monya empires should also be on their way to the meeting, and the mainstream media is focused on this meeting.

Because the evacuation of overseas Chinese in the two countries has intensified, this has brought a lot of impact to the economy of "Babylon".

Coincidentally, on the planet "Heisenberg", the capital of the Star Alliance, the government president Adam? Oliver was giving speeches lobbying anti-war legislators, citizens, and organizations to hype up national hatred and pave the way for the war to come.

All the people, the eyes of the major forces are focused on the possible international war, who will care about Tang Fang and his "Morning Star Casting"?

Kennan? Rupert was proud and a little regretful at the same time, how good it would be if he could personally send that kid on the road, like this...... It can also be regarded as revenge for an old friend.

He stroked a 'Starlight' badge on his chest, remembering that Clement also had one, then took out a pair of black leather gloves from the pocket of his trench coat and put them on his hand, flexed and stretched out the five fingers of his right hand, and his gaze fell into the distance through the fingers.

The brilliance of "Babylon" reflects a round of seven-colored arc light in the front window of the shuttle, and the "hanging garden" is not far away.
