Chapter 1038: Honorary Viscount
"Is this the only way to save Zhang Changzhi's relatives?"
Zhang Xin sighed: "I think it's best to cut through the mess quickly and solve it as soon as possible." If you can resolve the incident as a third-order telekinesis master, that would be the best. ”
He felt that he was pitted by Ye Ruo. The latter clearly said that as long as he became an honorary member of the federal senator, he could turn the Shenwei Zhang family around.
"But master, even if you get the status of honorary councillor, you can only make the Zhang family safe for a while, and you can only deter those secret enemies, and you don't dare to act rashly against your parents. ”
Ye Ruo heard Zhang Xin's dissatisfaction, and couldn't help but look helpless: "They won't stop there, there will definitely be more powerful means." If they can't be defeated and the ambitions of these people suppressed, the crisis of the Shenwei Zhang clan cannot be resolved. In addition, if you want to find a way to break through the fourth-order mental power, you also need a certain amount of financial resources. Running an alpha company is only good for the owner, and there is no harm to meow. ”
Zhang Xin raised his eyebrows, thinking that Ruo'er, this girl, would become more and more able to grasp people's hearts.
The purpose of his coming to the Earth Federation this time was to settle Zhang Changzhi's cause and effect, and secondly, to find a way to break through the fourth-order telekinesis.
While the former is a top priority, the latter is also crucial.
It is necessary to know that the Earth Federation has also been studying for tens of thousands of years together with telekinesis, and there have been many results.
Although this is not as good as the hundreds of thousands of years of the Dome Star, thousands of divine realm holy spirits, the accumulation of research on the divine realm, but maybe it can give him some different inspiration and illuminate some future paths for him.
After all, the 'science' on the federal side is still quite reliable.
But then, he was noncommittal, and turned his eyes to the front.
While the two were talking, the Kamui Voyager had already broken away from its warp speed. The planet in front of us, called the 'New Kunming Star', is already in sight, less than a tenth of an astronomical unit away.
Zhang Xin took a closer look at the planet, and then turned his attention to the lower left corner of the screen in front of him. In that direction, about 3,000 kilometers away, three large and four small spaceships were drawing an arc-shaped trajectory in the void and flying towards this direction.
Zhang Xin recognized that it was a second-class cruiser of the federal system, as well as five first-class destroyers, which were exactly the equipment of a border patrol fleet.
It is worth noting that these five warships, not only all the naval guns, are pointed in the direction of the Kamui Voyager. There are also dozens of 'mechas' in Ye Ruo's mouth, flying out from the tailgates of these warships.
Seeing this, Zhang Xin immediately frowned slightly, and a little vigilance rose in his mind.
"There's no need to be too nervous about the master, this is the standard response of the Federation fleet after encountering an unknown ship, not hostile to the master. ”
Sure enough, a moment later, the second-class cruiser on the opposite side sent a crimson beam of light. At the same time, on the screen in front of Zhang Xin's eyes, an image of a woman about twenty years old also appeared. This woman has beautiful facial features and a natural appearance, wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant officer of the Federal Patrol Army, and looks heroic. It's just that the skin is pale, and it should be the so-called white race.
This first glanced back and forth at the bridge here with a scrutinizing gaze, and then her eyes looked at Zhang Xin.
"Please ask the name and citizenship number of the gentleman. Your ship is not in the Federal Ship Administration's database. In accordance with the Border Guard Regulations, I need to confirm your identity. ”
"Zhang Changzhi, citizen number E33958134SXE5031XC. Eleven years ago, he piloted the Shenwei Guangming spacecraft, set off from Alida Buster, and went to the X350 star field to explore. ”
When Zhang Xin replied, he subconsciously touched his face. The completely different touch made him realize that he had returned to his 'original' face.
"The reason why this Shenwei Voyager is not in the Federation database is because my ship was damaged during an expedition and had to build my own spaceship to return to the Federation. ”
"Zhang Changzhi?"
The female lieutenant glanced at her, then she lost her mind, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that she managed to suppress the surprise on her face.
"I'm sorry, my lord, your identity is beyond my authority, please wait, I need to contact the fleet commander. ”
After saying this, the woman hurriedly cut off the video connection. Zhang Xin waited boredly for a minute, and the screen in front of him appeared again with the image of a middle-aged man. He was dignified, shrewd and capable, and he was also dressed in the uniform of the Federal Patrol, but he wore a major epaulettes.
"I, Zhou Ning, commander of the Ninth Patrol Fleet of the New Kunming Star, have met His Excellency the First Class Honorary Viscount, and I would like to greet Your Excellency!"
Zhang Xin replied expressionlessly: "Etiquette is not necessary for the time being, Commander Zhou should not have confirmed my identity yet?"
"Exactly!"
Zhou Ning smiled a little bitterly: "If there are no important items on your ship, I would like to ask Your Excellency the Viscount to temporarily abandon the ship and go with our ship to the S3 space base of the new Kunming galaxy to verify your identity, where there is a sub-station of the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau." ”
Zhang Xin's eyes were slightly condensed, and he glanced at Zhou Ning fixedly, and then he laughed after a while: "It's okay! You can send the traffic boat over, and then ask someone to prepare a hot tea for me." ”
As far as he knew, the second-class cruiser on the opposite side was equipped with an identity verification system.
The reason why this person wanted to send him to the S3 space base was probably because he did not want to take responsibility.
But this kind of little trick actually doesn't help. From the moment this person's patrol detachment encountered him, this major officer had already been involved in the turmoil of the Shenwei Zhang family, and there was no way to get out.
In the eyes of some people, this is the culprit who accepted Zhang Changzhi to return to the Earth Federation.
Unless this Zhou Ning has the guts to kill him here. But this is the way to die, those who have malicious intentions towards the Shenwei Zhang clan will only put this person to death in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, instead of giving a reward.
The traffic boat sent by Zhou Ning quickly docked with the Shenwei Voyager. When Zhang Xin stepped in, he found that there were twenty heavily armed marines inside.
The female second lieutenant from before was also there, and the first time she saw Zhang Xin, she gave a military salute: "Second Lieutenant Charlotte of the Federal Border Guards, see Lord First Rank Viscount!"
Seeing this, Zhang Xin couldn't help but shake his head slightly. I thought to myself, isn't this so-called Earth Federation a democratic system? How can there be so much red tape?
As far as he knew, the status of this so-called first-class honorary viscount was actually not very high. In the Commonwealth honor system, it can only be the fourth class of the sixth class.
Honorary Lords, Honorary Dukes, Honorary Marquises, Honorary Viscounts, Honorary Barons, and Honorary Lords, each rank of knighthood is divided into three classes, which is one of the current honor systems of the Federation, also known as the nobility of the new century.
This is also a legacy of the Dark Ages, before the end of the Dark Ages, although the Earth Federation gradually grew and rose, they were not without equal opponents. In the process of reunification, it is inevitable to use the policy of Huairou appeasement to include the original enemy in your own lineup.
Especially for the nobles of those royal countries, the Earth Federation has given a great degree of tolerance, and in addition, it is necessary to give enough rewards to the heroes of the unification of the human world, so the Federal Council has set these six-level honorary titles.
There are only titles, no fiefs, and no money, but they can enjoy certain privileges within the federation.
