MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 156

In July 1129 of the Milky Way calendar, Shang Ping immersed himself in the reorganization of the Deco galaxy fleet all day long. The energy supply and personnel needs of the huge fleet were enough to make the inexperienced new lord devastated. The clone troopers from Sai Xia kept arriving, and the fleet was still 60% dissatisfied, not to mention the huge gap in the upper-level commanders. The number of officers transferred by the emperor to Shang Ping was limited. The Deco galaxy had experienced previous rebellions. Except for the completely barren main star, the permanent population of other planets was basically negligible. Conscription is an impossible thing. To describe the current situation of the new lord with a clever woman is hard to cook without rice.

To Sid? The imperial officers headed by Major Hall also frowned and could do nothing. No matter how tempting Shang Ping's promises were, they still had reservations about the new lord's orders. In the final analysis, there was only one reason for these officers to completely surrender to Shang Ping, and that was power.

Shang Ping is the new lord of Deke and the quasi-emperor of the empire. He will have the power that countless imperial nobles dream of.

If Shang Ping is willing, he can ask the emperor to send more soldiers. In the eyes of Major Sid and others, this is the best solution. Confusingly, Shang Ping did not intend to do so. If you are familiar with his character, it will be easy to find that, to a certain extent, Shang Ping is preventing the imperial soldiers from infiltrating the Deco galaxy fleet. "Does the lord plan to establish an independent fleet?"

This kind of speculation is like a fantasy, no one can go against the will of the emperor, and the conspirators who try to betray the emperor have already slept in the abyss of death.

"Stop joking, the lord is a prospective imperial concubine!"

"Probably the lord has other plans."

The conversation goes so far, and only so far.

These imperial officers who swore allegiance to Shang Ping could not use the eyes of conspirators to speculate on His Majesty's partner, even if they just thought about it, it was a terrible thing. But the predicament of the Deco galaxy fleet is also an indisputable fact.

Finally, at the end of July, Shang Ping swept away the haze for many days and summoned three newly appointed commanders, namely Sid? Major Hall, Major Bomi and Chad? Major Mays. Different from Sid? Major Hall's typical military appearance, Major Bomi is more like an academic scholar, and Major Chad is an uncompromisingly beautiful man, of course, if his blue skin is ignored.

The first time I saw Chad, who was born in the early conquest leader of the Empire? Shang Ping was stunned for a while when he was with Major Mays. Chad made Shang Ping finally have a feeling of "there is an alien in front of him". The attendant was wary of Shang Ping's sudden interest. The new imperial concubine developed a strong interest in people other than His Majesty. No matter what kind of interest, it was a very troublesome thing. For that, Chad? Major Mace was almost knocked unconscious by the squire officer to erase all his memories, and then threw him on the spaceship that was sent back to his home planet. If this terrible conspiracy succeeds, Chad? Major Mace will end his military career forever, but only because of the ignorance of the new princess.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Shang Ping. After all, the Muse galaxy is a galaxy established by the descendants of humans on earth, and the race that rules the Golden Empire is dominated by light skin and hair color. It's like people in the age of the earth suddenly see a prehistoric dinosaur swaggering in front of them, it's impossible not to be curious. Shang Ping has a good grasp of the scale of curiosity, is it also Chad? One of the reasons Major Mace is still safe and sound.

"Lord Lord, good day!"

"Good day, please take a seat. The three of you are here, because there is a plan, and you need the help of the three to implement it."

The three majors have firm eyes, straight backs, military caps on their forearms, snow-white gloves, and shiny black military boots. These are three standard imperial soldiers, and they are also undeniably heroic men.

but…

Shang Ping's eyes swept across Chad? Major Mace's blue face, paused for two seconds, still felt a little strange...

Putting aside the weird thoughts, Shang Ping turned on the virtual screen and showed a plan in front of the three majors. In an instant, there was silence in the office.

Shang Ping didn't say anything until the three majors finished reading the whole plan, their eyes widened stiffly, and then they rubbed their fingers and raised one eyebrow with a smile, "How?"

Sid? Major Hall made a difficult voice: "Lord Lord, are you sure?"

"Yes." Shang Ping leaned on the back of the chair in a leisurely manner, but no one would doubt his firmness, "Before this was just a plan, now, this is an order."

"But... robbery?" Major Bomi said in a hesitant tone: "And it is a robbery that does not cover up his identity, even if the object of the robbery is a space pirate, is there some..."

"Major, in extraordinary times, use extraordinary means." Shang Ping clasped his fingers and looked at Chad with a smile? Major Mace, "Major Mace, what's your opinion?"

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!"

Chad? Major Mace answered with a sonorous force, Sid? Major Hall and Major Bomi frowned at the same time. Is this guy blatantly trying to please the new princess?

"I like this answer." Shang Ping put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "I have a leader, but I don't have a citizen. I have a battleship, but I lack soldiers! My time is limited, I want to be there To achieve my goal in the shortest time! Robbery is the fastest and easiest way! Besides, I am not robbing the leading stars and citizens of the empire, but the cosmic pirates that I want to rob! This will also become the third Great military feat!"

The three majors stood up immediately and answered in unison, "Yes!"

"What's more, besides people, there are many others that can be robbed. A 'reasonable' robbery is also a promising career."

Looking at the faces of the three majors that changed color instantly, Shang Ping smiled meaningfully.

Just when Shang Ping planned to lead the Deco galaxy fleet to carry out a great robbery business, the capital of the Golden Empire was experiencing a political storm.

Soran Edrich suddenly issued a decree on the 29th of July to withdraw the tax-exemption rights of the imperial aristocracy issued in the era of Hainy III. As soon as this decree came out, all the old-fashioned aristocrats in the empire were in an uproar. The old-fashioned aristocrats who lived in extravagance around the beauty and beauty, never paid a penny in taxes to the empire in the era of Hainy III. So much so that most of them forget that they still have to pay taxes to the empire. They have countless manors, hunting grounds, mines, and fertile leading stars, and they continue to pray to the emperor for more wealth and power. They know best how to turn invisible power into tangible wealth, separate this wealth from the empire, and don't contribute even a single gold coin to the empire's finances.

As far as the current empire is concerned, it is harmless to provide such moths, but Soran Edrich is obviously very tired of these old-fashioned nobles who have nothing to do and can only compete for power in the court. The same attitude of the third to Solan II wagging their tails and begging for pity, from the beginning, they made the wrong calculation.

"...I can't agree with the existence of such a rotten way of life that can destroy people's will. The protection of the imperial fleet is not these incompetent people who lie on gems and drink wine all day long. To enjoy the wealth of the empire, you should pay the corresponding price. The right to tax exemption is promulgated by the emperor, and it can be taken back naturally! If you can't contribute to the country, then these gems, manors, hunting grounds, antiques and fine wines should belong to those who really have the ability to acquire them!"

Soran Edrich's words are not without harshness, but he has left some dignity for the nobles after all. As a dictator standing at the top of the imperial pyramid, Soran II does not think that people who indulge in luxury life are his enemies, and it is impossible to implement absurd decrees that treat them equally. Can request!

Almost all the old-fashioned nobles were attacked, but there were no open rebels against the emperor's decrees. Knowing the current affairs is already a survival rule that goes deep into the bone marrow. Soran Edrich is already strong enough not to fear anyone's provocation. He firmly controls the huge imperial fleet. Most of the nobles' property is guaranteed, but he needs to pay taxes and can still live a normal life as before. , only a very few stubborn guys have been deprived of all their property, and the only thing they can do is to vent their resentment and hatred under the anesthesia of alcohol.

This is just the beginning.

Soran Edrich's decrees will never stop here. In the next few months, the cabinet headed by the Prime Minister of the Empire, Count Reichardt, will continue to discuss the emperor's decrees one after another, and for these decrees. There is a red-faced dispute over whether it is appropriate to implement, and of course, no matter how fierce the dispute, the emperor's decrees are stamped with all the seals of the cabinet and issued and implemented.

"The emperor is the power."

However, Count Reichardt is still worried that things will not end there. Does the calm on the surface herald the arrival of a bigger storm? His Majesty the young emperor never seemed to like to play cards according to common sense, just like the concubine he chose.

After three dynasties, the Prime Minister felt lost for the first time.

The Prime Minister's confusion was only short-lived. Seeing the Chancellor of the Exchequer showing his colleagues the tax figures that were enough to satisfy him, and thinking that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was also from an old-fashioned aristocrat, Count Reichardt had a strange feeling.

"Count Triusini, have you heard a word?"

"?"

"The wool comes from the sheep."

Leaving behind the stiff finance minister, Shi Shiran, Earl of Reichardt, left, and his mood was much better.

Ivan Summer Palace

Soran Edrich leaned his back to the window, the communicator on the table emitted bursts of light wave frequencies, waved his hand to let the attendant exit, and after the door closed, he turned on the communicator, and the virtual image of the black-haired boy appeared in his room. before.

The silver-haired emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He supported his chin with one hand, and the moonlight lingered around him through the crystal glass, adding a cool brilliance to his long silver hair. Blue eyes looked at the image of the black-haired boy, pale lips twitched, "Robbery?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, in a sense, this is not a simple robbery, but an encirclement and suppression of space pirates."

"This is the job of the Imperial Border Patrol."

Soran Edrich didn't seem to agree with Shang Ping's plan, but he didn't object either. Instead, he was reluctant to let go as if he was deliberately trying to make trouble for his concubine.

Shang Ping was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Soran Edrich's face, and he was slightly absent-minded for the beauty in the moonlight. This kind of sudden pleasing to the emperor, Soran Edrich laughed softly, and traced Shang lightly with his fingers. Flat lips, whispered: "Do you know what I want to do now?"

Shang Ping still didn't seem to come back to his senses, and instinctively shook his head.

Soran Edrich rested on the table with one hand, stood up, turned his head slightly, looked towards Shang Ping's virtual image, and said as if sticking to his ear, "I want to kiss you."

"His Majesty…"

"What should I do, I regret letting you go to Deco. Or, if you kiss me now, I will promise you?"

Shang Ping didn't know how to answer, as if any answer would put him in a dilemma.

In the end, Soran Edrich let him go, and agreed to Shang Ping's plan, provided that he could do what he could and stop it in moderation.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe in my ability?"

"I believe in you." Soran Edrich paused, then said, "However, I'm equally worried about you."

"…"

"So, don't worry me."

"kindness."

After getting what he wanted, he ended the call, Shang Ping turned off the communicator, patted his cheeks with both hands, lowered his head, and put it on the cold table, his ears getting redder and redder uncontrollably.

What to do... It seems that I can't hold it anymore...
