Chapter 644 Destruction Weapons Being Assembled

Feifei carefully rubbed Yu Lian's face three times to make sure that this guy was not really schizophrenic. Then she diverted her attention and followed his line of sight to the "future" in the distance.

At first glance, this is indeed just an ordinary artificial space building, which can be seen almost everywhere in the empire. You know, the empire's shipbuilding technology and space city are almost definitely the best in the universe, and they are also indeed the best space infrastructure maniacs in the universe. The newly developed galaxies and colonies on the planet have not yet been approved, and various functional buildings in space have been built overtime. In addition, we also need to know that the vast majority of spacecraft are actually built in the universe. As for the scale of construction of larger super transport ships such as Dauntless, Titan, or those, there is no difference in assembling a habitable space city.

All in all, the empire's territory is vast, and all the galaxies within its territory are under construction all the time. If you don't make the effort to pass through the galaxies where the large shipyards are located, you may feel that you have wandered into a city that is undergoing massive construction in preparation for the Olympic Games...

Of course, the empire's shipyards are better than those of the Olympic Games. At least the ships can be used once they are built. There will be no such thing as a plague after building a house.

The Extreme Galaxy is the frontier galaxy of the empire. Relatively speaking, there are not many space engineering projects, but we have encountered them a few times along the way. If it weren't for Yu Lian's reminder, Feifei would have ignored it.

The "space building" should be mostly completed, and the main structure is in a long strip shape. As a rough estimate, the length should be more than 50,000 meters.

Most new dreadnoughts and titans are this size, not to mention some very large freighters. Of course, if it is a semi-fixed space facility operating within a star system, this can only be regarded as a medium-sized functional building.

"The future?" Fifiqi asked.

"That's not a boat." Yu Lian laughed.

Feifei didn't think it was a boat either. First of all, the appearance design style of the imperial warships is mainly streamlined spindle and wing shapes. Only the Minlan and Turanq people who consider themselves pacifists like to design the warships into that cylindrical shape. Moreover, if it is the central axis of the space battleship, the creation seems too slender. If you look closely, it looks more like a large flashlight or the shaft of an atomic light spear.

Thinking of this, Feifei's heart moved and she couldn't help but look at Yu Lian: "Is that thing a super cannon?"

"I do feel that way," Yu Lian said.

Feifei also nodded, but still didn't know why this was the "future". You know, this kind of fortress cannon that is comparable in size to a giant battleship has already appeared, but its cost performance has never been high. At most, it can only be used for galaxy defense.

"Let's take another look." Yu Liandao: "I estimate that this should be the last program of this military exercise for the empire."

"Oh~~~~" Feifei said in a long voice: "The messy things you and Yani secretly did in the Imperial Capital before were related to this thing, right?"

Yu Lian looked at the sun in the distance and said seriously: "After all, I am a military attache stationed abroad, and it is very reasonable to exchange information with other countries. As for more, I don't know anything."

Feifei pondered for a moment, then stretched out her hand to hold Yu Lian's cheek again, and rubbed it hard: "It's very good, Yu'er, you can speak so high-sounding in front of me, it means that you have grown into a very good person (wu) You are such a horny adult! Let me see if you can become the president before you are forty years old!"

The Fujie cruised past the construction site of this "Fortress Cannon" in accordance with established driving procedures. According to the traffic dispatch, the queue cut into the outer space orbit of Luyuan Planet and began to land.

This is a standard Earth-like planet, with a surface ocean area of ​​73% and an oxygen content of 22%. It is even more suitable for ordinary human habitation than the Earth. As the capital of the Extreme Star Region and the standard natural Earth-like planet closest to the Galactic Center border in the empire, its permanent population is around 1.5 billion, which can be regarded as a highly developed settlement.

Coming here from the remote Sarna, it really feels like returning to the city from the countryside.

Luyuan Star is a very famous agricultural and animal husbandry base in the empire. In addition to the giant farmlands and pastures planted by mechanization, the natural ecology of the planet is also maintained as much as possible. Of course there are forbidden forest hunting grounds on the planet that belong directly to the royal family, but there are also large and vast hunting areas that are open to the outside world. Yu Lian thought this was quite interesting.

Yu Lian had heard that the golden pheasant native to this place was a delicacy that was unparalleled in the world. Whether used to make soup, barbecue or stir-fry into spicy chicken, it is naturally delicious.

If he came to travel, he would be happy to take Feifei into the mountains to hunt, eat chicken and rest for a year and a half. However, he had a mission after all at this time. After getting off the ship, he rushed directly to the community delegation's hotel. Hotel, go and meet with the leader of the group, General Maxell.

The old president of the Central National Defense University will be eighty after the new year. Yu Lian's four years of college were completed while the old general was the principal. However, I don't have any good feelings or respect for him, and of course I don't have any dislike for him. I just feel that this old man is a mascot put on the stage to make up for the numbers.

Generally speaking, this is a typical career bureaucrat. Once he reaches a certain age, he will automatically enter the mode of eating and waiting to die. His original life trajectory should have been to retire after the end of his term as principal, receive a high pension, and work as a consultant for a large security company, and then spend his leisurely and comfortable later years.

However, such an old man got another promotion while waiting to retire. This may be something he never dreamed of.

Ever since, when reporting, this old man with wrinkles and age spots on his face opened his sleepy eyes and said in a helpless tone: "Student Yu Liang and classmate Li, you said, I am such a slow and dim person. Why did you become the director of the Strategic Research Office of the Military Command Headquarters? How did you become a general? "

Maybe it's because of your popularity? Although no one respects you, no one hates you either. In official circles, this can certainly be regarded as good popularity.

Although Yu Lian thought so, he could only say: "Probably the Chairman is reluctant to part with your experience and talent! Marshal Paris is already ninety this year. Marshal Este on the Empire side is also He is several years older than you."

"They are old men, and I am old and dim-eyed. This is the gap at the soul level!" The former principal sneered: "According to your statement, Mr. Lan is a step ahead of me. How can I compare with him? Student Yu Lian , you have been my student for four years, and I still don’t know who you are? Just don’t do this."

Well, based on these words, this old man is definitely not just a confused old man. Even if he is just a bureaucrat waiting to die, who can be a fool if he can get to this point?

"Tell me honestly, the death of classmate Yu Lian, Count Seliora? Does it have anything to do with you? Also, does the death of Major Poppas have something to do with it?"

Feifei looked around the room, but the principal said: "Don't worry, classmate Li. There is no eavesdropping equipment in this room. There are still a few security experts in our group who are experts in anti-eavesdropping!"

The person who commissioned the system? Are you even more worried? Apart from colluding with Hachiman's colleagues to do the dirty work, there is no time when they are not showing off their professional skills.

"Besides, today's empire is not so far-reaching as spying on diplomats."

Yu Lian is a little confused now. He really couldn't figure out whether the old principal was really confused or pretending to be confused, or whether it was intermittent. Of course, if you think about it carefully, if he didn't know about the case of Emperor Elithel and Count Salvin, he might also believe that the empire bosses were all decent men.

"This kind of thing has actually spread all over the world!"

"How could such a big thing be concealed?" Maxell said: "Every country has its own intelligence channels, and we can always get some clues. Of course, before the empire speaks, everyone will try not to spread the word. This is just to sell the empire to save face, it can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the intelligence agencies of various countries."

Yu Lian nodded, and then said loudly with a frank expression: "But the student really knows nothing!"

"..." The old principal narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was smiling, but with a sharp look.

Yu Lian had to express a little surprise. He really never expected that the old principal, who had a sleepy expression every time he appeared in the university for four years, would have such a beautiful face.

"However, Major Poppas was killed when he encountered a virtual monster while accompanying General Griffith of the Iron Army Complex to inspect the ruins. He also died in the line of duty, and he also made considerable contributions to our country's diplomatic career. . The student thought that he should be the one who applied for the medal."

Major Poppas was a member of the Observer Corps and now died on the diplomatic front. His subsequent honors should naturally be applied for by the regiment leader, Admiral Maxer.

"He is indeed a very diligent and down-to-earth young man. What a pity. Don't worry, Major Poppas will get the compensation and honor he deserves." He looked Yu Lian up and down again, sighed silently, and then revealed his face He gave a tacit smile: "Then, Colonel Yu Lian, Major Li, please take a break."

He looked like he understood everything, but also seemed to understand nothing and didn't want to understand at all. At this moment, Yu Lian felt the last pride of an old bureaucrat, and smiled with the same wavelength, stood at attention, saluted and left.

After leaving, Feifei said to Yu Lian: "Actually, Mr. Principal is not a bad person. The incident that Yu'er caused in the school was only because of Mr. Principal's final objection, so you were not expelled."

"I understand. His rating was also the decisive factor for my final graduation thesis to be A+." Yu Lian smiled and said, "He is a kind-hearted person who goes with the flow but has his own bottom line. As long as most people can To have reached this point is already amazing. I am actually very grateful. I even visited him last time I returned to China."

That happened during the idle period after Yu Lian returned to Earth from Lumina. Liuli gave him a list and schedule of people he must visit, including Admiral Maxell.

At that time, he had just resigned from the position of president of the National Defense University, but had not yet retired. When he saw Yu Lian coming to visit him, he was also very enthusiastic. He invited him to have dinner, but returned the gifts he brought.

"You have already made great achievements right out of school. To me, this is the best gift."

This may sound a bit high-sounding, but because the old man's attitude is very sincere, Yu Lian doesn't feel embarrassed at all, and instead respects him a little more.

"The principal is also trying his best to protect ordinary students. In fact, he cannot be blamed for the chaos in the college in those years." Yu Lian added.

Feifei agreed, but she frowned slightly and lowered her voice: "However, he has recently become very close to Mr. Mao Yuanzuo, a senator from the Co-Prosperity Party. It is said that the Co-Prosperity Party hopes that the principal can enter politics after he retires. . The Co-Prosperity Party will support him to become a senator and fully promote his entry into the National Defense Committee."

It took Yu Lian nearly two seconds to connect this name with historical knowledge: "Mao Yuanzuo? Oh, the shadow boss of the Co-Prosperity Party?"

Feifei nodded and said with a smile: "Not a shadow boss, but a real boss!"

This Mao Yuanzuo is not an ordinary senator, but a political bigwig who has served in the parliament for more than half a century. In the era of Marshal Li, he served as deputy minister of the first executive government of the community. In the long years since then, although he has never been president, he has served as minister of the interior, minister of foreign affairs and prime minister. His political status and influence are evident.

This person is also an old monster in his nineties, and he resigned as the president of the Co-Prosperity Party, the second largest political party in the Blue Star Community, the year before last. Of course, everyone thinks that the current president is the mascot introduced by the old guy.

Speaking of which, Yu Lian's shady actions before graduation caused a series of chain reactions in the political, military and business circles of the community. Chairman Nishita's political allies once launched an attack and killed a large number of opponents. Among them, the one with the highest rank in the military circles includes Admiral Schwartz, who triggered the "Navy Day Incident". The most famous person in the political world was Applewood, a star member of the Co-Prosperity Party at the time. It was said that he was trained as a future party leader and president.

But even so, it seems that this old monster who is deeply entrenched in the political arena is not involved at all.

"Let me just say, our Chairman Nishita is not a gold coin, so how can everyone like him? He is working hard to build a massive army, so he cannot expect his opponent to make no moves at all." Yu Lian said with a smile: "However, it is a bit inhumane for the Co-Prosperity Party to push out our old principal at this time."

"So what if you don't admit it." Feifei spread her hands and said, "Principal Maxer has been the president of the National Defense University for ten years, and a large number of moon people are his students. Anyone with such network resources, that is A perfect military and political expert."

"More importantly, the old principal is old and has no foundation in politics, so he is a more perfect partner. Right?" Yu Liandao.

Feifei smiled and nodded: "This trip as the leader of the military observation group has diplomatic functions. As long as he can successfully complete this work, it will be natural for him to enter the political arena."

"So, the principal hopes that this exercise can go on smoothly even more than the empire, right?"

Feifei nodded again: "So, the death of Major Poppas should be the biggest headache for Mr. Principal. Of course, the premise is that he is willing to accept the appointment of the Co-Prosperity Party."

Yu Lian curled his lips and looked back at Admiral Maxell's suite at the end of the corridor. He wanted to laugh a little, but out of basic courtesy and emotional intelligence, he held it back.

As an old leftist, no matter whether he is a true leftist, a critical leftist or a leftist, who can value parliamentary struggle?

If we have this time, we might as well see how the battle unfolds after the exercise. This is a real grand fleet battle, and any man with normal aesthetics will definitely not be able to bear it.

As for the finale after the exercise... Yu Lian's blood starts to boil just when he thinks about that scene.
