Chapter 685: Conspiracy
The adjutant hesitated slightly, and said, "General, as far as I know, Marshal Kapro seems to be very interested in that Bescord named Allen. I have heard that General Catherine came together with him as if at the behest of the marshal. ”
"Then our esteemed Marshal of the Wild Lion is really a little lenient." Ke Meng snorted, changed his posture and said solemnly: "Okay, I have my own measure in this matter." I've heard a little about Marshal Capro's thoughts, not to mention that my attack on Bethcord is not just because of a Catherine. Aiden, you've been with me for seven years, do you think I'm going to make a big deal about a woman? Hey, I'm not just trying to get a general, and the interests are complicated. ”
"Yes, it's the stupidity of the subordinates." The adjutant bowed his head, having served Comon and the Grant family for seven years, and he had already learned what not to ask.
Common waved his hand and changed the subject: "What did Catherine do about that Bethcord?" ”
"I heard that a rescue has been dispatched, and it is the 3rd Forward Battalion that is going to support, and the leader of the team is Latis."
"The? It's a bit of a trick, and that guy has a bad temper and probably won't do what I tell him to do. Comon stood up, stretched, and said, "Looks like I'm going to have to go to the surface myself, Aiden, go and equip me with a set of equipment, so that no one can see it." Catherine told her that I was injured and needed to be in the repair machine and that we would not be able to see each other in twelve hours. ”
"Your subordinates will do it, but General, you do need to rest for a while......"
"The original dark light of the Dark Titan is nothing, don't worry. That little bit of injury won't stop me from taking out an imp who isn't even an Awakened One. Comon laughed dryly.
The adjutant said no more, nodded and left. After he left, the smile on Common's face froze, and an unnatural black glow appeared on the surface of his skin. These black lights flowed on the surface of his body like thousands of small snakes, as if they were flowing in Kemeng's veins. After a while, it was back to normal, and Common scolded: "What a trouble, these damn Dark Titans, damn Primordial Dark Lights, are so troublesome to remove!" ”
He shook his head and sat down in his chair, his breath slightly disturbed. But he didn't stop going to the ground battlefield, as Comon himself said, killing Eren was not as simple as his close relationship with Catherine. Not long ago, there was a sudden increase in the black market of Babylon on a shipment of Thames silver. As soon as this batch of precious metals entered the market, it immediately attracted the attention of many parties.
Among them, the Grant family reacted the fastest, and immediately spent a lot of money to collect this batch of goods as owned. I casually got the relevant information of this batch of goods from the black merchants, and learned that these Thames silver were actually sold by the Bethcord family. The Bethkod family has several colonies, and the minerals produced certainly do not contain the precious metal of Thames silver. Those colonies have been developed almost completely, and the possibility of discovering new veins can be ruled out.
In addition to the possibility of a nascent vein, there is only one other possibility, and that is that the Bethkord family has mastered another colony with Thames silver. The sale of these goods in the form of black market transactions may be to test the market's reaction and prepare for future sales.
As the most promising family in Babylon, what wealthy family wouldn't pay attention to all the dynamics of Bethcord? Naturally, there is no shortage of information about this family in the Grant family's intelligence system, and now the information shows that Beth Kod does not have any extra colonial stars, except for the heavenly star that Allen accidentally discovered. As for the heavenly star, it has already been commented on in the assessment of the Federation as "rich in resources".
The Grant family even sent a team to develop the Heavenly Star as well, but the intensity and progress of the development were far less smooth than Bethcord's. Combined with this information, it is not difficult to think that these Thames silver on the black market came from the Heavenly Star. If this planet has such precious veins of metal, there is no guarantee that there will be no other rare associated ore such as the Phantom Star Diamond. In this way, the value of the Heavenly Star will be several times greater.
There is no doubt that a resource-rich planet like this should be monopolized by the federal government. But first, the Heavenly Star was not discovered by the Federation, and secondly, Alan and the family he represents have taken root in this colonial star. The Federation's reluctance to settle down and the deterioration of relations with the nobility for the sake of a planet meant that it was open to a few families as a public resource.
But if the Federation knows that there are rare products such as Thames silver on the Heavenly Star, it is difficult to guarantee that President Mobit will not change his mind. Therefore, the sooner the Heavenly Star is developed, more territory is occupied, and even the development rights of this planet are acquired, it is the best way for any family to improve the strength of the family. Today, Bethcord is the most developed on Paradise, and Komon even heard that they have begun to build a landing base to accept more starships into the planet.
It is foreseeable that once this base is built, with the influx of a large number of starships, then Bescord will be able to establish a relatively stable interstellar trade route before the various families. When the time comes, when the trade between the Heavenly Star and the Earth is on track, then the speed of Beskode's or Allen's development on the Heavenly Star will be unmatched. This is what the Grant family does not want to see, so when Comon learns that Eren is on Frost Star, he happens to be involved in the general attack on Frost Star. The general, who came from the Grant family, couldn't help but make a bold assumption about what would happen if Allen were to fall in this war.
The conclusion is that, at least on the planet Heaven, Bethcord's colonization will be dealt a huge blow. And the one with the greatest benefit is the Grant family. So what happened next became logical, and it went a little deeper. This operation against Allen is in charge of Comon, and once successful, he will be the most credited, and his power in the family will be further consolidated and promoted, so that more resources will be tilted. Therefore, whether it is public or private, Comont feels that it is imperative.
Before arriving at Rinshuang, he had consulted the family council of elders. The only people who oppose his action are Dornier, Comon's eldest brother, and the head of the Grant family. But even if Donnier tried his best to oppose it, it could not dampen the enthusiasm of the other elders. The fire in their hearts had already been moved by the report submitted by Komon, the data on the future income of the Heavenly Star, and finally the Council of Elders approved Komon's request for action, agreeing that he was in charge of the operation.
"Wait, big brother. Kill Allen, and I'll be the biggest hero of the family. When the time comes, I'm afraid you'll have to move your position. Common chuckled, this was the real plot hidden under all interests.
