Chapter 140: Showdown, the Final Inside Story

The Blue Star Alliance divides the extraterritorial territory into five major realms.

On the military level, in order to ensure the security and order of these vast territories, each of the five major realms has a defense commander-in-chief who is responsible for comprehensively coordinating the plane defense tasks of the realm.

In terms of external development and exploration, another military position is set up.

Currently, only Marshal Yan retains the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Plane Exploration Corps".

Nowadays.

The entire alliance has long stopped external expeditions.

The reason is very simple.

The expansion of the territory has increased the governance cost infinitely. It takes at least half a month to convey the government order message from the main plane to the border area of ​​the first realm.

This is at a specific time. The plane will operate. When the running trajectory reaches the farthest end, the entire communication silence period will last for several months, and some extreme cases will even last for three or four years.

The government order cannot be conveyed, which is one of the reasons.

Tax revenue cannot be collected.

The resources for the development of the plane have been delayed in being stored.

The initial exploration costs still need the help of the alliance.

The appointed extraterritorial governance officials are also prone to corruption.

If you are the governor in power, you will naturally be very dissatisfied with this.

"Is this the territory of the alliance, or is it someone else's de facto independent kingdom?"

In the past few years alone, the violent law enforcement agency, the Extraterritorial Plane Order Maintenance Bureau, has personally arrested countless local tyrants outside the domain.

Recently.

He Yun is even more aware that the Alliance Parliament is preparing to draft a proposal to abolish the military organization of the Plane Exploration Corps. This will undoubtedly cut Marshal Yan's right arm and make him lose half of his military power.

As soon as the news came out, many people felt sorry for it, because only civilian card masters love the hard and tiring extraterritorial exploration.

If this promotion path is cut off, it can be foreseen that the road to civil service examinations will be more lively.

The number of applications for the Card Master Association will show a blowout trend, and there will be more people working as cattle and horses for major card giants.

Some people also say that the abolition is good. I don't know if it was a rumor specifically released by the parliament. This plane exploration corps has always been privately occupying and developing resources, and secretly hiding an unimaginable amount of wealth.

No matter what.

Under the battle between the First Consul and Marshal Yan, the latter was undoubtedly like a dead fish on a chopping board, without any resistance, and was completely slaughtered.

Perhaps it was such a meek attitude of admitting mistakes that the attitude of the higher authorities was somewhat relaxed.

Under the carrot and stick, some generals also began to resume their military posts, but were transferred from their original positions.

At least, Wang Liyang seemed to have good news.

"Are you leaving soon?"

Teacher He Yun looked at him and said that she was very annoyed when she got along with him at the beginning, and she wished that he would leave as soon as possible, but after half a year, that sense of alienation was gone.

"Well, I'm ready to leave." Wang Liyang said.

At this moment, Su Chen on the side realized that the lieutenant colonel had resigned as the special adviser of the provincial team and was ready to leave today.

"Can I ask you something in private?" Su Chen hesitated for a moment and made his request.

Wang Liyang's eyes fell on the other party. After a short pause, he nodded: "No problem, let's go."

Teacher He Yun, who was sitting, didn't think much about it. She just thought that Su Chen wanted to avoid being seen and heard and asked the officer about the spiritual plane.

She really couldn't help with this matter.

Soon.

The two came to the spacious and empty corridor at the back one after the other.

"Go ahead." Wang Liyang gestured.

Su Chen had prepared a draft when he came. He looked resolute and said calmly: "Some things about the relief foundation. You reported my information."

Showdown.

When he realized that the meeting with the other party might be the last farewell, Su Chen decisively asked the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time.

The burly lieutenant colonel was still so calm and majestic, but his eyes looked at the boy in front of him thoughtfully.

"What's the reason?" he said.

His tone was still so indifferent that people couldn't feel his emotions and thoughts.

Su Chen directly explained: "The Rescue Foundation is just a private organization. How could they get my accurate information? At that time, the other party said that they were cooperating with the official government."

"But later"

"Everything has deepened my doubts."

Soon, he briefly talked about the card ban. In short, the horse team of the City Card Enforcement Brigade did not show that he was a city contestant when they checked his information twice.

But a private organization was able to find out the details and pulled him into the talent support plan without him uploading any information.

"At that time, I felt that there should be someone from the foundation around me. He manually updated and pulled me into the talent support list."

There was one thing that Su Chen did not add, that is, after the kick-out ended that day, the "own people" mentioned by the other party were somewhat suspected of self-explosion.

At this moment, with his extremely keen perception, he more or less sensed that a mysterious spiritual force inexplicably blocked the connection between this area and the outside world.

No one will hear anything said here.

This is more or less a confession.

"Indeed."

Wang Liyang admitted it very quickly. Perhaps because his manual update operation was exposed, he was a little upset, so he showed a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"So what? Talented people should enjoy more resources, especially a genius like you." He was not stingy with his appreciation for Su Chen.

"But if it involves a military force that has been suppressed by the Alliance Parliament, it will be difficult to say."

Su Chen's expression was calm, as if he had been told something trivial.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Liyang's forced smile instantly solidified, looking quite playful.

"Smart people do make people annoying sometimes." Wang Liyang shook his head and sighed.

For a moment, the atmosphere was inexplicably solemn.

Su Chen was not afraid and still looked at him.

"When Wu Qi sucks his gangrene, why should his soldier's mother weep?"

There is a price to pay for winning people's hearts like this.

The talent support plan of this rescue foundation is somewhat like raising three thousand dead soldiers, but the problem is that it cannot guarantee loyalty to the death at all, and this little benefit is simply not enough for people to sacrifice their lives for it.

Too little, and outrageous!

How can he ensure that those who receive the favor will always turn to the military and make his position naturally on their side?

Until Su Chen met Hong Chuanqi and learned some of the inside story, all the confusion in his heart was solved.

"Only the power of hatred can easily bind a group of people together." Su Chen sighed.

The alliance cabinet only considered the overall situation and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of card masters' families, while the military forces secretly provided support to these "war orphans" under the guise of the Love Foundation.

The probability of their success is much higher than that of ordinary children. If they are given support first and then the seeds of hatred are slowly planted, you can imagine how these people will view the Alliance Council when they become successful.

"So, in your eyes, the external factor 'X' that has caused the gradual demise of plane observation in recent years must be the work of some advanced intelligent civilization. So where is the evidence?" Su Chen asked.

If we look at it without any emotion and from a neutral and objective point of view, when the plane observatory cannot find an unknown main plane approaching, the theory of invasion by a higher intelligent civilization is completely untenable.

Doomsday theory has always been a widely circulated theory among the people.

Why does human civilization stand out among thousands of planes? Is it really invincible in the endless universe?

Many people have this question in their minds.

But just as Teacher He Yun said, major plane observation stations tell us that even if a main plane is discovered, it will be difficult to see the enemy at least until his generation is old.

"Is it possible that the data from the observation station is wrong?" In the silence of the other party, Su Chen took a step further.

"That's right. The major observation stations established on the outer borders of the territory have not scanned any main planes. This is indeed a fact."

"but."

Wang Liyang was surprised that the other party knew a lot, but at the same time he looked serious and emphasized very seriously: "I have fought against them on the border outside the territory."

Su Chen believed it subconsciously.

It must be said that a tough guy who is strict with himself and never jokes does have more persuasive words than ordinary people.

"I can tell you the truth. The enemy is using the 'Leapfrog Strategy' to approach us crazily. The thousands of planes surrounding the alliance's territory are their springboard for attack."

"Now they are just their forward scouts, and a large-scale army is on the way."

"So it won't take decades at all, maybe less than a few years. Even pessimistically, a large-scale collision may happen next year."

After Wang Liyang finished speaking, his expression became more serious and cold.

One thing he didn't say was that according to the think tank's speculation, in order to implement such a long and far-reaching leapfrog strategy, military supplies would definitely be a long-standing problem.

Just the trip back and forth is a big hassle.

It is a taboo in the army to draw such a long battle line.

A terrifying conjecture emerged from this. They were likely to empty out all their resources. Based on this, it can be deduced that the main plane where the opponent is located should be facing resource exhaustion, so that they can launch such a crazy military. action.

"I heard that He Yun helped you inquire about the Lingyun Plane. I'm sorry to tell you that I asked someone to contact you. It seems that they have been invaded by foreign enemies."

After Wang Liyang finished speaking, he no longer looked at Su Chen, whose expression suddenly darkened.

"Abandon all illusions and prepare for war. You have a bright future and will definitely shine in the future."

"alright!"

"That's all. The words we just said are rotten in our hearts. See you next time."

"Remember, we are our own people."

The voice lags behind.

The mental shield around him disappeared instantly, and Wang Liyang's tall back walked out without any pause.

After a while, his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The lieutenant colonel just left.

And all the questions and unsolved mysteries in Su Chen's mind were almost answered.

Inexplicable.

He was also a little disappointed inside.

If there is a real enemy, but the Alliance Council and the military are still secretly fighting each other, the entire social atmosphere of declining martial arts will make people feel even more gloomy.

Will it win?

Su Chen didn't know.

Under the tide of this era, all he can do is to improve himself at all costs.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang's 'own one' has made him realize that he cannot put aside the relationship at all, and the actions of the alliance have indeed made him somewhat angry.

The scary thing is that the military may not be ‘good guys’ in the true sense.

Just this ambition and layout plan are enough to make people wary.

"I don't know when Aunt Jing will return."

After Su Chen felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, she also urgently wanted to contact her.

The ranking defense competition is still in full swing.

The replicator Cao Zheng in the second ring showed his invincibility. After defeating the meditator in the first game, he successfully defeated a magic emperor as a defender, and finally defeated the limit breaker Pei Xingcang who dared to challenge.

The card masters of the three major schools, summoning, spells and fighting, were all defeated.

The replicator once again proved his exaggerated and amazing talent to the audience.

"The Beiluo Provincial Team is a bit exaggerated."

What's more terrifying is that the two legion children in the fifth and ninth rings are about to win three consecutive games.

"Something's wrong. I feel that Tang Nianwei of the Beiluo Provincial Team is a bit exaggerated. This black-skinned girl is not really worthy of the name."

As we all know, in the previous stage, the replicator was not a seed player of the Beiluo Provincial Team, and the first seed was given to this Tang Nianwei.

This suspected smoke bomb move naturally did not attract much attention for her. After all, she is just a mechanical war girl with top sequence talent.

"It's broken."

"There's no way to stop them from forming a team."

Everyone realized that this group of legion children had to form a team in the Ancient Dragon Nest Secret Realm, but the ninth stage was too far back and the replicators were too difficult to deal with, so the competition for the fifth stage was extremely fierce.

However.

The first person in cultivation, the meditator, and another first-talented sequencer who fought again all lost.

The young man in the ninth stage easily and quickly overturned the three top sequencers and advanced calmly.

The general trend has been determined!

The tactical combination formed by these three people will bring severe tests to all the front-line players who are committed to competing for the inheritance of all sizes.

At least the southern resource point of the entire Ancient Dragon Nest will basically be monopolized by a single dominant company.

"Xia He also won."

Under a tense pressure, the Qingyun Provincial Team finally received good news.

"The eighth place is won!"

After Xia He defeated two top sequencers in a row, he finally faced the limit breaker Pei Xingcang. As a result, the third person in Jiangnan Province lost directly.

Before all the competitions in the ten major stages ended.

At 7:30.

According to the announcement on the radio, the 11th to 50th arena will be opened to the public in five outer fields one after another. Qualified people are requested to quickly participate according to their own strength.

For a while.

Most of the people in the spectator seats that were bustling just now left immediately.

Not long after.

The third place was also determined, and it was Qi Hanhai, the undead singer.

Without fighting the judge, his sky-high card deck was simply invincible.

As for Gao Jun himself, it was too tragic. This popular champion who was originally expected to win the championship failed to defend the arena and was directly defeated by Pei Xingwei, the first player of the Jiangnan Provincial Team.

He wanted to go to the third arena to find trouble with Qi Hanhai, but failed to grab a seat.

And the fifth to ninth places that he looked down on at the beginning had already been determined.

After a few times, this civil war king was forced to roll up the tenth arena, and finally became the tenth place in a very dramatic way.

The front row ranking has been fixed since then.

Su Chen and Xia He did not stay for long, and went directly back to the hotel to practice.

And tomorrow is not a day off, they will directly start the five-day secret resources competition early in the morning.
