Chapter 159: The Great Enemy Invades
How long does it take to cook a meal?
If you let Yunyi say, half an hour at most is enough. High-quality kitchenware made with modern technology will not take too long to process dishes or cook. Even some time-consuming dishes will not take too long, and the progress of technology is enough to make up for the time consumption. But now, Yun Yi listened to the cooing sound coming from time to time in his abdomen, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Since stepping off the spaceship, Yun Yi didn't eat and went directly to Lin Moxue, and later helped her complete her work and got busy, and she didn't remember to eat during the period.
By now, Yunyi hadn't eaten for more than ten hours. But although there was a lot of noise in the kitchen, more than an hour had passed, and Lin Moxue hadn't seen a plate of anything to eat. I wanted to go to the kitchen to have a look, but I was worried that Lin Moxue would be embarrassed, so Yun Yi could only wait helplessly.
While waiting, Yun Yi didn't have nothing to do, he turned on his light brain and browsed the recent news about Chu Tang.
After reading a few articles, Yun Yi knew it in his heart. Although such a serious thing happened to Chu Tang, for ordinary civilians, all they could know was that Chu Tang's previous king, Chu Tianyun, had died. As for the closure of the Chang'an Department that day, it was also told that it was a measure that had to be taken as a last resort to prevent the news of His Majesty's death from leaking out. Anyway, except for the people involved in this matter, as well as the heads and brains of the military, most people don't know what happened in Chu Tang at all.
As for the wanted warrant issued by the crown prince Chu Xiuling, he was taken back without even going out of the Chang'an department. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, the prime minister of Chu and Tang is still Qin Shou, and the marshal is still Lin Jiaoyang, except for the change of His Majesty the Emperor, there is no difference between the others and usual.
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Yi guessed that this might be due to the fact that New America had made a move and Qin Shou, Lin Jiaoyang and Chu Xiuling had compromised. But soon he shook his head and denied it, because he knew that among the three parties, in addition to Lin Jiaoyang, the other two people had support behind them. Of course, Qin Shou was supported by the Dragon Slayer Society, but he didn't know which side Chu Xiuling supported. For the four major organizations, even if Chu Tang is all occupied by New America, as long as they don't lose their own interests, they won't care. What's more, the mysterious organization's intention in selecting Chu Xiuling was to oppose Qin Shou, who was supported by the Dragon Slayer Society, so how could they cooperate with him?
Thinking about it, Yun Yi only felt that the entire Chu Tang was filled with layers of dense fog, and when he lifted the surface layer, he found that the truth was still hidden layer by layer.
Judging from the current situation in Chu and Tang, the most favorable one is not Chu Xiuling, but Qin Shou.
For more than ten years before this incident, Qin Shou had been arranging non-stop. He is in a high position and controls the movement of government personnel. I don't know how many people from the Dragon Slayer Society or Qin Shou held important positions on those planets under his arrangement. These people are usually conscientious and conscientious, and they are no different from other officials. But now, with Qin Shou's arms raised, those hidden officials jumped out one after another to wave their flags and shout for him. It can be said that at least about one-third of the planet in the entire Chu Tang Dynasty has secretly fallen under Qin Shou's control.
Of the remaining planets, there are about one-third of them, because the fleet that protects them has taken refuge in Lin Jiaoyang, and Lin Jiaoyang's reputation is very high. After the people sent by Lin Jiaoyang explained, the governors of these planets joined Lin Jiaoyang's forces without saying a word.
Among the three groups of forces, the weakest is the crown prince Chu Xiuling, who has not yet ascended the throne. After the death of the old king, the two important ministers Qin Shou and Lin Jiaoyang did not support him, although he relied on the royal fleet to control the most prosperous capital Chang'an, his sphere of influence could only be limited to this. In other galaxies other than the Chang'an system, no one listened to him at all.
In addition to the areas under the control of Lin Jiaoyang, Qin Shou, and Chu Xiuling, there are about one-third or so of the planets, oscillating between various forces. Some of them were because Qin Shou's people did not fully control the planet, and they had disputes with other officials; Some are because of their own careful thinking, and they feel that they should wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision; Others feel that with the arrival of the troubled times of Chu and Tang, can they take the opportunity to rise at this stage, divide the land and rule, and play as a soil emperor......
Anyway, the remaining one-third, about 2,000 planets, are not controlled by any of the three parties, and they manage and collect their own taxes.
These planets are also the goals that Lin Jiaoyang, Qin Shou and Chu Xiuyu strive for.
After checking the area actually controlled by Lin Jiaoyang, Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Because the galaxy where the manufacturing plants of Nebula Group and innovative technology companies are located are all in the actual control area of Lin Jiaoyang. Although the headquarters of Nebula Group and innovative technology companies are in Chang'an, they are controlled by Chu Xiuling. However, in the headquarters, there are only sales and sales personnel, and the manufacturing plants are in a relatively remote galaxy.
Even the R&D plants of the two companies are not placed in the Chang'an system.
In this way, it is equivalent to Lin Jiaoyang's hands holding two super arms manufacturing factories. In the past few years, because Chu Tang has purchased Wumu-class battleships and God of War-class mechas, coupled with the hot sales of Meteor III mechas, the two companies have made a lot of money. If you have money in your hands, you naturally have to expand your manufacturing capacity. After the expansion, the combined manufacturing and R&D capabilities of the two companies are not much worse than Weilong.
As for Weilong, there is some tragedy, although this company directly belongs to the Chu Tang royal family, but because the development over the years is not limited to one place, various branches and manufacturing factories are almost all over the Chu and Tang Dynasty. In this way, the mecha manufacturing department was in the hands of Lin Jiaoyang, the battleship manufacturing department was in the hands of Qin Shou, and the R&D institution was firmly held by Chu Xiuling, dividing a good Weilong Group into three parts.
In terms of manufacturing capacity, Lin Jiaoyang is now a well-deserved first; Qin Shou, who has a lot of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies, is the second, and Chu Xiuling is the oldest.
However, when it comes to the training of ship operators and combat personnel, it is the opposite. The Chang'an Department concentrates dozens of colleges with the best quality in the whole empire, and cultivates a large number of high-quality talents for Chu and Tang every year. Now that Chang'an is in the hands of Chu Xiuling, these students are naturally Chu Xiuling's people. Except for the capital galaxy, the northern starry sky, that is, the area controlled by Qin Shou, is stronger than the southern starry sky in terms of teaching quality, so the training academy that Lin Jiaoyang can control is the worst among the three forces.
However, Lin Jiaoyang is a military marshal, and there are countless capable people under him, and he can randomly draw some veterans from a fleet, so that he can form a high-quality military academy and continuously train recruits.
But training takes time, and Lin Jiaoyang, who started from scratch, can't compare to the other two academies that graduate a large number of times every year and serve them.
At least in two to three years, Lin Jiaoyang doesn't want to have a large number of personnel to replenish.
In the process of browsing the news, Yun Yi suddenly glanced at his eyes and saw a letter lying in his mailbox at some point. I looked at the time, but it was sent three days ago. At that time, he was on the homecoming spaceship, working on the design of the mecha, and he must have been too involved in it, so he didn't see it.
looked at the sender, it turned out to be Li Xingke.
Without looking, Yun Yi knew what was in the letter. But he still opened it and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was the same as he guessed. Li Xingke is a native of Paradise Island, and this letter to Yun Yi is naturally because such a serious problem has happened in Chu Tang, so Yun Yi can take the opportunity to use Lin Jiaoyang's power and add the support of Paradise Island, so that he can get a piece of the pie in this chaos and establish his own sphere of influence.
The letter made it very clear that as long as Yun Yi agreed, Paradise Island would immediately send a fleet and mecha warriors for him to drive, and there would be countless valuable materials that would be delivered in the shortest possible time.
After reading it, Yun Yi sneered and deleted the letter.
When he went to the Lekima Federation before, Elder Martha of Paradise Island told him that as long as he proposed it to Paradise Island, Paradise Island would spare no effort to support Cloud Wing to establish a new country. But Yun Yi didn't want his country to become a pawn of Paradise Island against the Dragon Slayer Society, although after the establishment of Berwick, he encountered many difficulties, Cloud Wing and Berwick's government gritted their teeth and survived, and did not ask Paradise Island for a penny.
Perhaps because of the last time, the materials provided by Paradise Island to Yunyi this time were several times more than the last time, and it was estimated that at least the materials worth nearly 100 billion imperial gold dollars were estimated.
Although he was very red-eyed, Yun Yi still had no intention of asking for assistance from Paradise Island.
But after thinking about it, he decided to engrave the last letter back to Li Xing.
Since Paradise Island wants to deal with the Dragon Slayer Society, and the spokesperson of the Dragon Slayer Society in Chu Tang is Qin Shou, they want to support people to fight against Qin Shou, who can be more suitable than Lin Jiaoyang? With Lin Jiaoyang's connections and the support of Paradise Island, it was not difficult to defeat Qin Shou.
After sorting out his thoughts, he wrote them to Li Xingke and asked him to forward them to Elder Ma Da. Yun Yi knew that if Elder Ma saw this letter, he would definitely reconsider the strategic layout in Chu Tang in his heart. And with Lin Jiaoyang's support from Paradise Island, his goals and path will be much simpler.
After doing all this, Yun Yi looked at the time, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, remembering that it was not even six o'clock when he and Lin Moxue left the office. The kitchen door was closed, and the sound of stir-frying could be heard from inside.
"It's almost there." Yun Yi said to himself, persuading himself to wait a little longer.
After another ten minutes, the kitchen door finally opened from the inside. Seeing the door open, Yun Yi even had the urge to burst into tears. It's really difficult to eat Lin Moxue's meal.
"It's finally all right, but I'm exhausted!"
Lin Moxue, who was carrying two plates, walked out, her clothes were splashed with the juice of red and green vegetables, a large area of oil on her sleeves, and her hair was a little scattered, but the two plates of dishes she was holding looked good, both red and green, which made people full of appetite at a glance.
"Why do you do so much, it's just the two of us, we can't finish eating and we're going to waste it." Yun Yi hurriedly took the plate in her hand, pretending not to see the oil stains on her clothes.
Lin Moxue was stunned: "You can't finish these two dishes?" ”
Yun Yi was also stunned, and suddenly understood. FeelingsLin Moxue worked in the kitchen for more than two hours, and the final result was the two plates of colorful stir-fry in front of her. When I thought that when I was in school in Chu Tang, it only took less than half an hour every day to prepare a sumptuous table of four dishes and one soup for him and Zhao Xiyue.
Suddenly, a sense of pride arose.
"As long as you make it, I can eat as much as I want." Yun Yi patted his chest and said.
Lin Moxue grinned and said, "Taste it quickly, this is what I learned a few months ago when I had nothing to do in the Marshal's Mansion." This is called Erquan Reflecting the Moon. She pointed to the plate on the left.
Yun Yi looked down, the plate was covered with black fungus, on which were sliced green bamboo shoots placed like lotus leaves on a pond, and there was a white lotus flower on top of the lotus leaf, I don't know what kind of vegetables were cut and placed, it looked quite beautiful. In the other corner of the plate, there was a bright crescent, and after a glance, Yun Yi recognized that it was made after cutting it into a crescent moon with cocoon white.
Regardless of the taste, Lin Moxue's thoughts alone moved him very much.
"What is this?" Yun Yi pointed to another plate, but it was made of a charred omelette with emerald green vegetables scattered on it. It was as if there was something else in the omelette.
"This one is called the Starry Sky!" Lin Moxue smiled, with a little expectation in her eyes: "Taste it." ”
Seeing that the color and collocation were good, Yun Yi was slightly moved, picked up the chopsticks casually, picked up a chopstick on the "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" and put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully......
Light, just such a taste!
After only two chews, Yun Yi swallowed as soon as he stretched his neck.
"Have you ever tasted this dish after it's ready?" Yun Yi asked, but saw Lin Moxue shaking his head: "How can you have time to taste it, I'm afraid that you will be hungry, so you will be served out as soon as it is ready." How's that, is it delicious? ”
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Yun Yi looked happy, pulled the plate of "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" in front of him, and ate it in a big gulp. After tasting it, Yun Yi finally knew why Lin Moxue had only made two dishes for so long. It turned out that she fried the fungus first, fried the fungus and spread it on the plate, and then fried the green bamboo shoots...... In this way, such a small dish has to be fried three or four dishes, and the combination can be done together.
The green bamboo shoots don't seem to have any salt in it, and they don't taste at all. But the white water seemed to be salted, and he almost didn't spit it out. And when the fungus was put in his mouth, it was suddenly like a raging fire, and as soon as he tasted it, he knew that there was definitely a large number of scorching red peppers in the fungus. That kind of super spicy thing, even when Yunyi is cooking, he only dares to put a little bit of it......
The taste of such a dish can be imagined. But Yun Yi knew that this was Lin Moxue's heart, so he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, picked up the plate and poured it into his mouth, there was no free time at all, it only took less than five minutes to put the entire plate of dishes into his stomach, and took the slightly cool teacup next to him and drank it dry, only then did he take a long breath and exclaimed with satisfaction: "It's so delicious!" ”
Lin Moxue covered her lips with her white and tender little hands in surprise, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, you are eating too fast." It's all my fault, it's taken too long, you're hungry, right? ”
"I'm not hungry, the key is that you made it so delicious, I couldn't help but eat it all. Belch...... I didn't leave you some either. Yun Yi pretended to be embarrassed and said, but said in his heart: Next time, you must not cook in Moxue, otherwise you will either be starved to death, or you will be spicy to death, and then you will be salted to death!
"As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if I eat it or not." Lin Moxue smiled slightly, as if watching Yun Yi eat up what she had made, she could already make her forget about hunger.
"I'll try this again."
As he spoke, Yun Yi stretched out his chopsticks to another plate, and he had already made up his mind that if the taste was still the same as the plate just now, Lin Moxue would never be allowed to taste it! Otherwise, she would have guessed that the plate just now would definitely not be delicious.
Fortunately, the taste of this plate is quite average, although it is not delicious, but it is not salty or light, and it can barely be eaten.
"It tastes pretty good, but it's not as delicious as the one just now." Yun Yi praised.
Lin Moxue had long wanted to taste the taste of the dishes she made for the first time, and when she heard Yun Yi say this, she stretched out her chopsticks happily, but often, her brows furrowed slightly: "It's not delicious, it can't be compared with those chefs in the Marshal's Mansion." ”
Yun Yi smiled: "Everyone has been cooking for decades, and they have been specially trained, how can you, an amateur chef, compare with others, it is already very good to be able to do this." What's more, the plate just now tastes really good, and it's not bad compared to those chefs. ”
"Is it really that good?" Hearing Yun Yi's praise, Lin Moxue suddenly became overjoyed.
Yun Yi nodded heavily: "Of course it's delicious, I didn't see that I ate it in one go." ”
While talking, they finished eating the remaining plate of "Mantianxing" that could barely be eaten, but they had been hungry for a day, and how could only two dishes be enough for two people. Seeing that the two of them hadn't eaten enough, Yun Yi just smiled and said, "I've tasted what you did, it's time for me to show my hand." ”
Lin Moxue knew that the food made by Yun Yi was delicious, and when she was in the Marshal's Mansion, Lin Moxue would often eat the food cooked by Yun Yi, which is why she came up with the idea of learning to cook, and she was more or less influenced by Yun Yi.
Turning around and walking into the kitchen, Yun Yi was about to make a move, when he saw a lot of fried charred vegetables thrown in the trash can next to him. Just thinking about it, he knew that this was definitely Lin Moxue's masterpiece of failed production, but it was a pity to waste food with these vegetables, what a sin.
Taking out a few green vegetables and radishes, as well as a piece of fish, Yun Yi quickly moved, and it only took less than ten minutes for a plate full of dishes with an attractive aroma to be out of the pot.
After tasting the dishes made by Yunyi, Lin Moxue looked like a failure, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I am really not suitable for cooking." ”
Yun Yi smiled and said: "Everyone has their own expertise, and only by finding the right industry can they play their role." If you let the chief engineer of Weilong Group command the battle, or let Lan Tian drive the mecha to fight with others, you will definitely lose a mess. And your specialty is business management, and only in this area can you bring out your strengths. Cook or something, just leave it to those chefs, and you don't have to bother with this kind of thing anymore. ”
Hearing Yun Yi say this, Lin Moxue was a little relieved.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Yun Yi said goodbye and returned to his room. It's not that he doesn't want to stay, but according to Chu Tang's customs, men and women who are not married cannot live together. Although this custom is rarely observed in this era, Yun Yi doesn't know if Lin Moxue is such a person, even if he is lonely in his heart, he doesn't want Lin Moxue to be unhappy.
After today's incident, the relationship between Yun Yi and Lin Moxue has become more intimate, and they are all in pairs, and they are not even willing to be separated for a moment.
In this way, Yunyi sometimes helps Lin Moxue deal with affairs, and sometimes he studies and designs mecha by himself, and in a blink of an eye, another half a month has passed. During this period of time, there were more and more warships gathered in this base, according to Lin Moxue, there are now more than ten fleets that obey Lin Jiaoyang's orders, among which there are as many as seven fleets that belong to the Chu Tang military and are equipped with Wumu-class battleships and Ares-class mechas!
With so many fleets, Lin Jiaoyang's strength has far surpassed Qin Shou and Chu Xiuling, and he has become the strongest force deservedly.
The increase in strength made Lin Jiaoyang's heart full of confidence, if it weren't for the fact that the agreement between the three parties to jointly fight against the new United States was still there, I am afraid that he would have been unable to bear it anymore and killed Qin Shou.
On this day, Yun Yi was continuing to design his mecha in the room, when suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door. Yun Yi opened the door, and saw Lin Moxue said with an anxious face: "Come with me, the fleet is about to leave?" ”
Yun Yi was shocked: "Why did you have to set off so suddenly, is there something wrong?" ”
Lin Moxue nodded and said, "New America has gathered ten fleets with a total of 150,000 main fleets, and is approaching the Unicorn Fortress at high speed......
