Chapter 44: Conspiracy and conspiracy

Style: Science Author: Century SunshineWords: 4332Update Time: 24/01/12 00:46:13
Almost overnight, rumors about the Hijin Empire spread.

On major public Internet platforms, there are rumors that Zi Shu Fuming discovered a life planet in outer space, a primitive life planet that has not yet been discovered, and has made great contributions.

In order to support this rumor, various private forums, social networking sites, mobile media, etc. in the empire have announced a list of companies that are increasing production.

After interviews, some media reporters confirmed that this increase in production was indeed true, which added to the authenticity of the rumors and caused a stir.

The people rejoiced. This was the first new life planet discovered since the founding of the Interstellar Alliance. It was destined that the Hijin Empire would become the new star of the Interstellar Alliance and create a legend among the stars.

People are keen to talk about this exciting topic, especially the ordinary people crowded in super-high residential buildings. They earnestly hope that the empire will develop this new life planet as soon as possible, carry out large-scale immigration to reduce the population, create countless job opportunities, and realize the new reality. dream of wealth.

The Interstellar Alliance's branch in the Hijin Empire sent people to the Empire's diplomatic department to inquire, but the answer they received was a firm denial.

The person in charge of foreign affairs also stated that the relevant true situation will be announced in the near future.

The initiator of this rumor crisis is none other than the famous beauty spy Eliza Lei, a senior agent of the Moore Empire's Intelligence Bureau.

Having experienced secret warfare for a long time, she is well versed in the art of inexhaustibility. She is good at attacking people's hearts and minds, playing with people's greed, touching people's hearts with one word, and subjugating people's soldiers without fighting.

She wanted to use this conspiracy to test the reaction of the top leaders of the Hijin Empire so that she could make further guesses.

If the government vigorously refutes the rumors, strictly controls the news media, strongly denies the rumors and arrests a large number of people who create troubles, then the rumors are likely to become false and become reality.

In this regard, her next action will be more violent and the fight will be more cruel.

If the Commander-in-Chief Mansion comes forward to clarify without hesitation and proves that there is no such thing at all, and vaguely identifies major discoveries that belong to the resource category, allowing the public to guess and make their own judgments, then it may indeed be a general or more important resource star. It's not worth paying the heavy price.

If the government explains the facts and clarifies the rumors so that the people no longer have any illusions, this neutral response is the most difficult to judge, which means this method is in vain.

The Xijin Empire's emergency strategy disappointed her so much that she lost the confidence to make progress.

After Wu Brand and Zi Shu Fuming exchanged phone calls for an hour in the encryption room, the Commander-in-Chief issued a public response the next day.

The first was a public statement announcing good news to the people of the Empire.

During its expedition to the outer regions, the Empire's Third Fleet accidentally discovered a huge galaxy similar to the Ziyun Galaxy. It has now discovered an energy star with mining value and a relatively rich metal ore star.

It is not yet known whether there is a living planet. The empire is preparing the materials to build a base and prepare for long-term exploration. It is hoped that as the citizens of the empire expect, it will be fortunate enough to achieve the empire's high reputation in the Alliance.

The second was a public commendation, a commendation order personally signed by the supreme commander of the empire, Ulbrand.

The main content is to inform the people of the empire that Shu Fuming, the eldest son of the commander of the Empire's Third Fleet, has discovered two resource stars during his expedition to the outside world, both of which have high mining value and are located in a safe area of ​​space, so he has made a great contribution.

In accordance with the **** Commendation Clause of the Imperial Law, the Supreme Command decided to promote Zi Shu Fuming to the position of Second Commander of the Military Department, commanding the Third, Eleventh, and Twelfth Fleets, and concurrently serving as the Commander of the Third Fleet to continue presiding over the expedition. Task.

All the accompanying generals and officers under him were promoted to half a level, and all soldiers were recorded as collective first-class meritorious deeds.

After all tasks are completed, rewards will be accumulated according to merit and law.

This award is hereby given as an encouragement. The order takes effect immediately.

Originally, due to the need for confidentiality, Wu Brand reached an agreement with Zishu Fuming on the first day of secret consultation not to carry out job promotion for the time being, so as to prevent interested people in the country from asking around and causing trouble.

Now that the matter has reached such an extreme level, it is no longer appropriate to cover it up anymore, so we might as well take the opportunity to announce it.

First, to dispel the people’s unwarranted speculations and stabilize the situation;

Secondly, it eliminates the idea of ​​hostile countries, so as not to cause huge troubles and hinder the production progress;

Thirdly, he appeased the meritorious officers and soldiers, eliminated the dissatisfaction in their hearts, and everyone was happy.

Seeing these two announcements, Elisa Lei was like a deflated rubber ball, half wilted. She could no longer muster the energy to fight, and withdrew all the lurking personnel who had secretly caused trouble.

She didn't want to pry away the foundation she had spent countless efforts and accumulated for many years just for the sake of one or two resource planets with unknown levels.

The biggest taboo in espionage operations is head-on confrontation, as the gains outweigh the losses.

When things have reached this point, delaying time is meaningless and costly, and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

The remaining task is to find a way to squeeze the chess pieces into the transportation team, go to the field to survey the situation, and make plans after returning.

Carrying out such tasks is the job of spies, and it is also their specialty. By using coercion and money, the problem can basically be solved.

This is a common headache for all major empires. It is most difficult to fish in troubled waters secretly. Investigation is both energy-consuming and thankless. If it is not done well, it may cause huge misunderstandings and the consequences will be difficult to deal with.

Some time ago, although William Nez and Elisa Lei did not exchange information, they were able to cooperate with each other tacitly with almost astonishingly accurate judgments. While each paid a heavy price, it also caused great harm to the Higgin Empire. Troubled.

The various holding companies responsible for the production increase plan have been complaining. The damaged companies not only had their products damaged, but also suffered a lot of casualties. It is not unfair to say that they have no profit.

The government only entrusted its production equipment and could have ignored the compensation for the aftermath, but it could not withstand the publicity and moral criticism. In the end, it had to bear the loss at a half discount, which caused a stalemate in the relationship between government and business.

In addition, the other side fanned the flames everywhere, leaving a lot of chaotic areas, clearing the area, putting out fires, rescuing people, warning, arresting, and fighting, which brought fear and uneasiness to a relatively peaceful society.

On the one hand, the Empire vigorously criticized enemy countries for committing evil acts on civilians and abandoning the principles of humanity; on the other hand, it comforted the victims through insurance, assistance, charity, relief, etc., and provided necessary living materials to ensure basic survival needs; on the other hand, it submitted accident and disaster reports to the Alliance, Protest against the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by hostile countries, disregard of the General Law of the Alliance, and request the Alliance to impose sanctions on them.



The conspiracy created by Eliza Lei failed midway, and the secret war came to an end for the time being.

However, she still had thoughts in her mind, and this lingering intuition never faded.

The Hijin Empire took a breath and freed up its hands to deal with internal traitors.

The "Shadow Force" was fully mobilized, and the intelligence headquarters followed the clues, trying to uncover the manipulator behind the conspiracy to betray the empire's production increase information.

Time continued to pass slowly, and a month and a half passed in the blink of an eye.

Due to sabotage and obstruction by spies from hostile countries, the material preparation work that could have been completed in two months was extended by another half month, and the planned departure date was postponed to two and a half months later.

At this time, the swords and swords on the surface began to fade away, and the desperate battles in the dark were staged from time to time.

Zishu Fuming and his family were injured during this operation.

His daughter-in-law was stabbed in the arm by a group of masked gangsters when she was off duty at work, resulting in a severe fracture and is currently being treated in the hospital.

When Sun Tzu was assisting the security personnel in fighting against the kidnappers, his abdomen was burned by a laser gun. Fortunately, he wore thin armor and was rescued in time and his life was safe.

The high-rise building where the eldest daughter's home is located was blown into a dangerous building. Under the timely protection of the escort mecha, no accident occurred, so she had to be temporarily escorted back to her parents' home.



Time, flash back 10 days ago.

Zishu Fuming obtained the information transferred to him by the family patriarch, which was Nangong Chenkun's production increase analysis report, and he secretly managed to disclose it to two so-called financial commentators.

Only 30% of the report in Zishu Fuming's hand was correct translation, and the rest was either garbled or translated incorrectly, deliberately making it appear to be at the elementary level of deciphering the first level of the Empire's encryption.

First, in order not to arouse the empire’s deliberate pursuit and expose the identity of the family’s hidden decryption genius;

The second is to prepare to transfer this credit through reliable channels to his grandson who is engaged in military code deciphering, laying the foundation for his future promotion;

The third is to wait for the standard benefits provided by the empire for his new position to be in place. He needs to take precautions in advance and put an end to the desperate behavior after the other party's conspiracy is exposed, so as to solve his worries of being away for a long time.

After the commendation order was issued, a few days later, Zishu Fuming made a special trip to the Marshal's Mansion to report to his new immediate boss, Marshal Ubranji (tu), the head of the Hijin Empire's military.

According to the same caliber as Wu Brand, the expeditions in the past two years were reported.

The detailed process described is roughly equivalent to my own experience in the solar system, and the overall core content is almost the same as the Commendation Order.

As for the specific coordinate points, he cited the commander-in-chief's order as an excuse, sealing the marshal's question.

Then, out of his eagerness to perform meritorious service, he did not report to the Marshal in advance, and sincerely apologized and self-criticized, ensuring that similar situations would not happen again in the future.

Ubranji was very dissatisfied with this subordinate for skipping the two major ranks of deputy marshal and marshal and reporting directly to the supreme commander. After hearing the apology, he barely calmed down his internal anger.

According to regulations, even if there is a major discovery that can be reported beyond the level, it should be communicated in advance. This kind of disrespectful and arrogant subordinates is intolerable behavior in the eyes of any superior officer.

Of course, this is only an explicit reason. The hidden meaning is that even if you have merit, you will not even leave a hair for your superiors. This is simply intolerable.

Now that the deal is done, the other party has become his direct subordinate and has a close relationship with the commander-in-chief. Considering that they will work together for a long time in the future, his apology is quite sincere. He gave me a step down, and he reluctantly gave me a haha ​​and laughed it off. But this thorn in my heart cannot be eliminated immediately.

Therefore, Wu Bulanji gave some symbolic encouragement and sent Zi Shu Fuming away.

Zishu Fuming was eager to leave as soon as possible, and then came to the sub-marshal's building not far away. He visited his old boss and his new colleagues. After greeting each other for a while, he entered his sub-marshal's office on the 59th floor.

The six military commanders do not have separate office buildings, but share a 101-story building, with each person occupying 10 consecutive floors.

Floors 60-100 were already occupied, so Zishu Fuming had no choice but to designate floors 50-59 as his own office floors.

The office of the second commander occupies the entire floor, and all facilities are newly added, including offices, reception rooms, conference rooms, double-encrypted conference rooms, double-encrypted communication rooms, lounges, etc., all fully equipped as needed.

Sitting on the large, comfortable and soft dragon whale leather multifunctional sofa, tasting the fine black tea sent by the life secretary, I felt filled with emotion.

As the saying goes, the higher the official rank, the greater the power. The higher the official rank, the greater the power, and the enjoyment and treatment in all aspects are equally different.

The higher you are, the more difficult it is to advance to a higher level. Without merit and opportunity, you cannot achieve your goals.

The current supreme commander-in-chief, Wu Brand, has indeed governed the country well and implemented a series of measures that benefit the people.

Among them, a special law and supporting implementation regulations were formulated, which stipulated that job promotions must have corresponding merit points, and those without meritorious service would not be promoted, which gave ordinary people hope to rise to the top.

Therefore, even though he is now in a high and powerful position, Zi Shu Fuming cannot forcefully promote his grandson through connections. It is difficult to convince the public and he is even criticized.

Later, the life secretary measured the size of Zi Shu Fuming and prepared to customize the second commander's military uniform.

The confidential secretary came in and reported the staffing situation of all floors of the 6th Marshal.

The Marshal's Mansion only arranges some necessary personnel to perform daily official duties. Other candidates are selected by the Second Marshal himself, and those who are not satisfied can be replaced at any time.

Zi Shu Fuming looked at the vacancies, called the deputy commander of the Third Fleet Base, and asked him to arrange for some of his trusted office staff to be transferred over, so as to temporarily maintain daily operations.

Others are dispensable and will be replenished when I come back in 10 years.

Zishu Fuming called the commander of the 11th Fleet and asked him to arrange fleet affairs. One month later, he would go to the Second Commander's Building to temporarily take charge of daily military affairs on his behalf.

The commander of the Eleventh Fleet comes from the Zishu family. Of course, Zishu Fuming must take care of him and give him a chance to train.

I visited more than 20 existing staff members floor by floor, organized a small meeting, and encouraged them.

Then, he clarified his work requirements and ordered the confidential secretary to formulate a performance evaluation plan as soon as possible in accordance with imperial laws, submit it to him for review, and then announce it for implementation.

Developing a performance reward plan is a top priority for almost all public service units in the empire. It is a worthy pursuit for everyone, because even if you work for one day, you will get 1 performance point as long as you make no mistakes.

After all, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds is not something you just want, ordinary accumulation is also a way.

Every year, those who rank among the top ten in their unit in the year-end performance ranking will receive merit points stipulated by national standards. If they accumulate enough merit points, promotion will be a matter of course.

A reasonable assessment plan can further stimulate the work enthusiasm of subordinates.

Zishu Fuming knew this well. When dealing with things that everyone attaches great importance to, he must personally deal with them. This is also one of the good habits he has developed over the years.

After the meeting, Zi Shu Fuming asked about the implementation of the standard benefits, and immediately returned to the Third Fleet without much delay.
