Chapter 601, Alfonzo's Civil War

It is a bit strange to say that one of Alfonzo's Mechanicus ships was saved.

Alfonzo is not an enemy? Why save him?

To talk about it, we have to mention the intelligence organization of the Alliance.

The person who made the contribution was a person Gu Hang remembered - Arno Chenko, he is Ossena's younger brother.

As a senior agent of the Central Bureau of Investigation, Arno was ordered to enter the Alfonzo star field to collect intelligence.

Compared with the Western Front, the progress of intelligence collection was quite slow due to the chaotic war situation and the iron-clad army everywhere. The progress of the intelligence network established by Arno in the Alfonzo star field was relatively much better.

According to the intelligence Arno reported before, after the fleet led by Sage Dubo was destroyed, the entire Alfonzo sect had a huge turmoil.

The overall strength of the Alfonzo sect is very strong. They have a very strong influence on the entire star field in the name of the star field. In comparison, the Mingyang sect in the Dragon Eagle star field is simply not at the same level as them.

Alfonzo has three forging worlds, each of which is no weaker than Jindi Star; the entire star field is their sphere of influence, and the six hundred worlds either provide raw materials, food, manpower, markets, or low-end technology transfer and processing sites...

It can be said that the hundreds of worlds in the Alfonzo star field are almost all revolving around the three forging worlds. And the essence of the entire sect's power is also reflected in these three forging worlds.

They are not monolithic.

Before joining the war, there were "doves" in Alfonzo. This is a combination of "empire faction" and "centrists". The former always disagreed with the sect betraying the empire and following Iron Armor; the latter, it is not necessary to follow the empire, and it is also possible to continue to do business with Iron Armor. They emphasize that the sect should withdraw from the outside, doing business and selling equipment is one aspect, but personally participating in the war is absolutely not allowed.

In the early years, the centrists were the most; but on the eve of Alfonzo's participation in the war, they had already joined the "empire faction" and became doves, and then were completely suppressed by the hawks.

The so-called Hawks are naturally the group of people who will lead the entire sect to follow Iron Armor.

When the Alfonzo fleet attacked the Proud Claw star field, the Hawks' reputation was at its peak.

At that time, no one thought that such a powerful fleet would encounter any obstacles when it went south to the Proud Claw star field. Any obstacles that stood in the way of the Alfonzo fleet would be ruthlessly crushed.

In a glorious victory, the Alfonzo sect will step on the corpses of the alliance to prove its strength to Iron Armor and establish its identity as a double-headed eagle in this independent organization!

This is what the Hawks claimed, and it was also crushed when the news of the defeat came later.

The Hawks' reputation was greatly damaged, and the Doves' voices were heard again.

Both the Imperials and the Centrists were angry at the Hawks' actions, accusing them of rash behavior and ruining the sect's precious wealth. The act of starting a war also pushed the entire sect into a very bad abyss.

Has the Hawks lost power?

It should be like this. They lost a large number of high-ranking figures, especially Sage Dubo; they destroyed their military forces; they lost their reputation because of the defeat.

The doves tried to seize power, and there were many conflicts between the two sides, including some armed conflicts.

However, at this critical moment, someone spoke up: the great sage Martin Varluk.

In the past struggles between hawks and doves, this great sage never publicly expressed his opinions, but was more of a balancer between the two sides. At this moment, he suddenly spoke up, representing the voice of the hawks.

He expressed his attitude in a speech; he took down one of the three casting generals in a suppression operation led by himself.

The voices within the Alfonzo sect were calmed.

However, Arno, who was in the Alfonzo star field, was able to realize that the waves were not completely calmed.

In fact, in the previous doves' massive counterattack against the hawks, there was Arno's shadow. He represented the alliance and contacted many doves, especially the imperial faction among the doves, to support their actions.

Of course, the Alliance is far away, and it is not convenient to take direct military action to avoid external pressure from gluing the Alfonzo sect that is about to split together; it is not easy for the Alliance to transport some substantial material help, and the oil men don't really need it.

However, many political promises made by the Alliance are of great interest to them.

The Imperial faction was originally reluctant to let the entire sect go against the Empire. On the one hand, it was because of loyalty, and on the other hand, it was because they believed that the two sides were not at the same level in terms of size. No matter how well they fought in the early stages of the war and how many victories they won, under the huge size of the Empire, the final victory could not be on their side. They were also afraid that they would be liquidated after the defeat.

The political promises made by the Alliance are basically concentrated in these two aspects.

For the loyalists, they will be rewarded for their loyalty and prove to Mars and Holy Terra that they have been loyal subjects of the Empire from beginning to end, have never betrayed the God of All Machines, and have fought for the Empire in the Alfonzo sect in the most difficult times;

For the latter, it is a promise that they will help them avoid liquidation after the war.

Through these imperialists, Arnault even contacted many centrists.

His work was originally going well.

Not to mention directly relying on internal changes to subvert the Alfonzo sect, at least it can establish a reliable relationship network. When the alliance army enters the Alfonzo star field in the future, these relationship networks can pave the way for the army to move forward. Many places that would have required sacrifices of countless people and an unknown amount of military expenditures to conquer may have been captured with just words.

However, the great sage Varuk personally came to the scene, disrupting Arno's plan.

He himself was almost exposed.

On the one hand, he wondered why the great sage Varuk, who was supposed to be a centrist or did not express his attitude at all, suddenly became so tough; on the other hand, he was also quite active in wanting to be in this situation. Can gain some benefits.

He hid the severely damaged relationship network underground, and all his intelligence agents, liaison officers, and agents fell silent, waiting for the opportunity.

At the same time, he also planned a big thing: saving Sebastian Moreau.

This person is the foundry general who was captured by Varuk.

Varuk was not so mad as to directly kill the foundry general, he was just imprisoned.

This gave Arnault a chance.
