Chapter 588
When the Star Alliance collapsed back then, the Hillenbel Region was joined by heroes, such as Maxwell Stewart and Helens Abdul. There were big forces, and naturally there were also many small and medium forces.
These small and medium-sized forces had to unite and help each other in order to fight against the surrounding large forces. Over time, this alliance snowballed and grew bigger and bigger, thus giving birth to the strange regime of the United Kingdom of Turanx.
Unlike the Stewart family of the Mongya Empire, which occupies half of the country, the Olipold family of the United Kingdom of Turanx actually controls less than 30% of the territory. The strength is relatively weak, the factions among the princes are united, and there are many hills. They often quarrel like the Star Alliance parliament because of one thing, and the internal fighting is more serious than other countries in the Hillenbel region.
This is why the slow political game between the new faction of Anthem Will and the old faction of Henrietta has lasted for more than ten years, but neither party dared to break the delicate balance. Until now, Henrietta is very old and feels that she has a short life, so she has to make up her mind to break the political deadlock.
The power of the royal family has been weakened, and the energy of the princes has been strengthened under the ebb and flow, making a large part of the princes wander between the old forces and the new forces. Because for them, the current situation is the best. Although the internal struggle in the political arena is fierce, the two sides are very measured and will not pursue and beat people to death. Moreover, the confrontation between Anthem Will and Henrietta makes them have to do everything possible. Make every effort to win over the princes of all parties and make greater concessions.
The Knall family to which Congreve belongs has two major star systems --- the Aradale star system and the Josena star system.
Compared with the Josena star system, the Aladale star system is closer to the kingdom's capital star system "Khanos", and the internal environment and construction efforts are also greater than "Josena". Congreve lived and ruled here most of the time.
Because of the relationship between the national system and the political environment, a big prince like Congreve has a high degree of territorial autonomy. Whether it is King Anthem Will or Regent Henrietta, the influence is far less than that of the Mongya Empire. I had a great influence on the princely territories. The people in the jurisdiction regard Congreve more as their king, and Hymn Will is just a relatively vague symbol.
Of course, Congreve died suddenly, and it was a matter of course for Sulbagio to succeed to the duke position, but the vigilance of "Aradelle" hadn't been formally canonized by Hymn Will. Especially the control of the space field has improved a lot compared to usual.
It's a pity that these are useless to the "Seraphim". After a week of interstellar flight, "Seraphim" and "Morning Star" successively broke through the warp interception net on the border of the United Kingdom of Turanx, and the outer warp interception net of "Aradelle" appeared in the asteroid belt of the seventh planet nearby.
After leaving the virtual space, the "Morning Star" activates the zero element particle space effect field generator and enters the semi-virtual space,
Enter a silent stealth state.
Tang Fang drove the "Seraphim" to jump directly to the vicinity of the fourth planet "Aitiya", and used Emma's ability to invade the space-based unmanned platform. Then bypass the system firewall, forge suitable identity information, return to the asteroid belt to meet the "Morning Star", and take Roy, Zhou Ai, Freya, and Aros to board a Turanx United Kingdom-made The white dove-class shuttle is going to "Aitia".
With Emma's help, the staff of the "Aitiya" immigration management office naturally couldn't see through the real identities of the five people. They only regarded the five of them as tourists who came to "Aitiya", and told them that because of the death of the old Duke, perhaps the situation in the interior A little nervous. But it doesn't affect the vacation, I just hope they pay attention, and then remind a few travel matters that need to be paid attention to. Let them pass.
About an hour later, the five people arrived in Norburg, the largest city in "Aitiya", in a class, got out of the airport, boarded a maglev vehicle, and drove quickly to the hotel where Alma and others stayed in the urban area.
After getting off the car and entering the hotel, according to the scanning results from the outside detectors, there was only one drug dealer and a few prostitutes who were indecent in broad daylight in the hotel. No official surveillance personnel were found.
This made Tang Fang a little surprised, and wondered why Sulbaqiao was so careless. Think carefully when going upstairs. He felt that he was making too much of a fuss, because Philips' business group was originally a registered trading company of "Aitia". Although it has always been engaged in transactions of arms, small spacecraft, and strategic materials, warships and cargo ships are all moored at the sea terminal near the tenth planet of "Aradelle", and there is a garrison navy patrolling back and forth, so there is no danger of any trouble.
Arriving at the suite where Alma lived on the 16th floor of the hotel, Roy knocked on the door. After a few breaths, there was a soft click. The door opened, and Alma appeared in front of several people with a sad face.
When she saw Roy and Aros at the front, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and when she saw Tang Fang who was standing side by side with Zhou Ai, her eyes suddenly burst into light, and she said in surprise, "You...you came here So fast?"
She didn't know that this was already considered slow, if it was just the "Seraphim", the time would be shortened by more than half.
Aros looked around and signaled her to enter the room to talk, and then Alma suppressed her excitement and let them into the room.
The suite has 3 bedrooms, a living room, and a small meeting room. Originally, Alma was discussing with several managers of the business group about rescuing Philip and Old Benny. Several management personnel who were sitting hurriedly stood up, each of them looked at each other in amazement, wondering why the famous Captain Tang suddenly appeared in front of them.
The "Mubarak" incident has been raging a lot these days. Except for the three countries of the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, and the Phoenix Empire, the citizens of the three countries are not aware of the information blockage, and almost all the other countries in the Hillenbel region know that the Star Alliance has a "Morning Star Foundry" ", there is a Tang Fang in "Morning Star Casting", who single-handedly pulled out a tooth that Abdul Zaire nailed to the fat of the Star Alliance.
For the sake of confidentiality, Elma did not tell anyone that Tang Fang would come to "Aitia" in person, even the core management personnel of the business group did not know, even if some employees below felt that the business group had reached a critical juncture . People's hearts are fluctuating, everyone is in danger, and some people even plan to leave their jobs, and put their minds on finding new employers.
She sent messages to "Morning Star Forge" and risked being intercepted by the authorities, but it was very safe for "Morning Star Forge" to send messages to "Edia".
The reason for keeping it secret. One is to worry about alarming the top leaders of the United Kingdom of Turanx, and the other is to prevent Surbajo from knowing about it.
If Sulbagio was afraid, it would be fine to change his previous strategy and release Philip and old Benny. Unfortunately, with his headstrong character, this possibility is unlikely, on the contrary. It is likely to make him angry and feel that he was bullied by Captain Tang just after taking over the title, which would bring danger to Philip and old Benny.
You must know that "Aladale" is in the hinterland of the United Kingdom of Turanx, only a few light-years away from the capital, not a remote and bitterly cold place like "Mubarak". No one with a qualified intelligence level would think that Captain Tang and his biological battleship can compete with the power of the country.
Sulbaccio has no problem with his intelligence, but he is still a bit self-willed, so if there is no accident, he will definitely fight to the end for that little bit of face, and even kill Philip and old Benny in advance to declare to his subjects that his dignity cannot be tolerated. Blasphemy.
"I'm sorry, I kept this matter secret." Alma apologized to several people.
Several managers are close friends of Philips and old Benny. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is Elma's elder, knowing what she is worried about, naturally she will not be offended. On the contrary, he was very happy, because when Tang Fang came, Philip and old Benny were saved, even though they didn't know what means he would use to rescue them.
"Sit down." Tang Fang nodded to the others, and sat down with Zhou Ai and Aros. Roy stood behind him like a stone sculpture.
As for Freya, she didn't see the outside world at all, yawning and walking to a bedroom inside.
She felt that her dearest Captain Tang suddenly became much more aggressive. He tossed and tossed most of the night last night, and was really sleepy. Take the time to find a place to rest for a while.
Elma was going to make tea for a few people, but Tang Fang stopped her and said no, the matter of rescuing the two should be done sooner rather than later.
Zhou Ai has always acted vigorously and decisively, and asked directly: "Have you found out where Philips and old Benny are being held?"
Alma took out a pda with holographic projection function from a cabinet behind her and placed it in the center of the table. Pressing the button, the lens popped up, projecting a map of Fort Knoll and its surrounding area.
Pointing to a small island not far from the coastline of Fort Knoll, she said: "About 200 nautical miles from the coastline of Fort Knoll, there is Kandal Island, on which there is a palace built by the Duke of Congreve. A week ago, the head of the group and Uncle Benny I went to Kandal Island to meet the Duke, and after the accident, I was imprisoned in the island palace and never left."
"Are you sure they're being held in Kandar?"
Alma nodded: "The information was obtained by the internal staff of Candal Island, and it should not be false. Besides, Sulbajo and the Duchess have been busy with stabilizing the situation in the territory and dealing with the funeral of the Duke of Congreve for the past few days. There is no time to deal with the matter of the captain and Uncle Benny."
"Since that's the case, it's easy to handle."
Tang Fang stood up and said, "Let's go, save people."
"Now?"
Alma looked out the window, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the dazzling light reflected a piece of light in the floor-to-ceiling windows. The streets were full of vehicles, and shuttles flew past the buildings from time to time.
Going to rob a prison in broad daylight is something that only Captain Tang can think of. As for whether she can do it, she has no idea.
The managers of the business group got up and said, "What should we do?"
Tang Fang was stunned and asked, "Could it be that the penalty of sitting in the United Kingdom of Turanx also exists?"
One of the middle-aged men with a cropped head replied: "Of course the general staff will not be implicated. The key point is that we are all relatives and friends of Philips and old Benny... I thought you would resolve this matter peacefully through Prince Henrietta's relationship." , but if it is a way of robbing the prison, there is no guarantee that it will not anger Surbajo. Although Philips and old Benny have no relatives in 'Aitia', it does not mean that Surbacho is willing to be humiliated and will not extend his hand to 'Kelsuha '."
In his opinion, it was a humiliation to Sulbaccio that Tang Fang rescued Philip and old Benny in such a sensitive period by forcibly robbing the prison. If they can negotiate in the name of "Morning Star Casting", maybe they can pass The normal way saved the lives of Philip and old Benny.
Tang Fang frowned and explained: "I don't have that much time to deal with Sulbajo. The war between the Star Alliance and the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire is likely to start in the next 2-3 months, so I can only do this Do."
"It's meaningless to worry about Sulbajo's investigation now. Saving people is the first priority."
Several managers nodded and stopped talking. Since Tang Fang said so, when he rescues Philip and old Benny, he will arrange for everyone to escape. It's a pity that the business group's foundation in "Aitiya" may collapse. Of course, those extraneous things are nothing compared to life.
Next, Tang Fang took Alma, Aros, and Roy to Kandal Island. Zhou Ai accompanied Freya in the hotel, and waited for several managers to pick up the family members.
On the way from the urban area to the outskirts of the city, Alma still asked the words that were in her heart. Because Tang Fang came too fast and too easily, just like returning to his back garden.
A few days ago, he was far away in the Star Alliance's Dilar star system, and he suddenly appeared in front of her a few days later, just like a dream.
Aros sat in the driver's seat. When he had time to smoke, he didn't have time to answer her questions. He could only see his not-so-delicate side face through the cracks in the lingering smoke.
Sitting in the co-pilot, Tang Fang frowned deeply, and looked a little upset. He didn't know if it was because of the trouble of the rescue mission, or because of Aros's annoying behavior without public morality.
Secondhand smoke is always a nuisance, isn't it? At least Alma didn't like it.
Roy is solid. He felt that since others raised questions, he had to explain a few words for Brother Tang. This was the most basic principle of life.
"That... is actually the 'Morning Star' dragging down the 'Seraphim'. The warp level of 8.6 is really too slow."
If Bai Hao was present, he would definitely make sarcastic remarks again, because Roy is too honest, and it is Alma who is at fault. If it were someone else, wouldn't doing so be equivalent to revealing the secrets of "Morning Star" and "Seraphim".
It's a pity that Bai Hao wasn't there. Alma pinched his face and said, "Are you kidding me? 8.6 is slow? Do you want to say that I don't know much?"
Roy froze, letting Alma's hands flatten and round his face like a plush toy. I finally know why she and Howson can become a pair, it's really a good match.
He suddenly missed Linglong very much. Linglong wouldn't play with his face like this, even though...it's very cool.
Alma squeezed for a while, and suddenly remembered that Tang Fang and Aros were in the front row, so she quickly withdrew her hands, pretending to be a lady, lest Captain Tang tell dear Uncle Benny about this, and if it happens again If you get banned, that's not good.
Aros had a cigar in his mouth, and the ashes were scattered everywhere when the car turned the corner.
Tang Fang wiped off the soot stained on his trouser legs, and muttered like chanting, "Zhengtai has three treasures: innocence, cuteness, and good skin."
Alma smiled awkwardly, thinking that Roy was rather naive, it's not bad to say that he is honest and cute, is his skin good? It's a bit dark!
At this moment, Tang Fang turned his head abruptly, looked at the two people in the back row and smiled slightly, and said, "Roy's last treasure should be 'whoever uses it will know'."
Roy blinked and said blankly, "Brother Tang, what are you talking about?"
Alma looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"
He winked at her, and his eyes fell on Roy's right hand: "You have to ask Linglong about this."
"..." Alma felt that Captain Tang was teasing her.
When Roy heard that it was about Linglong, he became very excited and asked, "Brother Tang, what are you asking Linglong for?"
Alma couldn't bear it, and pushed Roy back to his seat: "You will understand when you grow up for another two years."
Roy scratched his scalp and muttered in a low voice: "Who knows who uses it? Ask Linglong?" He wondered if he should ask Linglong what is Zhengtai Three Treasures and what "who knows who uses it" means.
"Here we are." Aros interrupted the 3's messy conversation, parked the maglev vehicle in a no-man's land on the seashore, stepped out of the cab, his face was as calm as an abyss, and he didn't even respond to the conversation the 3 had just had.
It was only then that Alma realized that there was no pier, no ship, and no aircraft. In front of her was a desolate gravel beach. The sea water danced in the sky, and countless cheerful waves kissed the slippery reef again and again.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Isn't it going to Kandal Island?"
Tang Fang got out of the carriage and glanced at the sky.
At this moment, Alma heard a slight sound of a turbine, and two rope ladders fell from the air.
She looked up and saw that the sky was azure and there was nothing, and the two rope ladders seemed to extend from nothingness.
Just as she was in a daze, Tang Fang and Roy had already grabbed the rope ladder and ascended into the sky, before disappearing in the end.
Aros walked up to her, grabbed the undulating rope ladder with one hand, hugged her waist without waiting for her reaction, and went up to the sky with a girl's scream.
It wasn't until entering the interior of the Banshee that Alma realized that there were actually two invisible fighters at the end of the rope ladder.
Regarding Captain Tang's ability, she only stayed at the bits and pieces of information that Howson occasionally leaked out, and vaguely felt that he was very powerful. The "Mubarak" battle also fully demonstrated this point, but she never thought of it It will be so powerful that there are actually 2 stealth fighters hidden in "Adia".
With the current level of technology, space-based radars and optical cameras will sweep across the planet's ground every minute and every second. Any unofficial large-scale combat equipment cannot hide the planetary defense department, but look at the fighters in the cockpit. The female pilot in leather armor with a pair of charming big breasts felt incredible to her, and she also felt a little bit jealous. (to be continued)
