On a mining star on the edge of the empire, a red-haired commander was taking a nap in the command room.
His long legs were draped over the edge of the table, his neck was tilted back, and his hands were placed on his abdomen. Two buttons of his shirt were undone, and his strong chest muscles could be vaguely seen.
Due to intense work and staying up late, the man's eyes were vaguely black and green, and stubble appeared on his chin. His whole person exuded a decadent and wild flavor.
This person is none other than Seaforth, who is leading troops outside.
For nearly a month since he came out, he has been working overtime and trying every means to advance the strategy, and he has barely slept a full night's sleep. Seven days have passed since he learned that his home was attacked. Seaforth wished he could blow up the G44 star with a missile and return home quickly.
It's a pity that those old antiques in the interstellar world who preach "humanism" are too difficult to deal with.
Seaforth had scolded them more than once, and the other party was so angry that Seaforth had to abide by the "Interstellar Peace Convention".
"Those who break the convention will not be punished, and those who abide by the convention will continue to be violated. If justice cannot be served, then what is the meaning of this so-called 'convention'? Is it a moral kidnapping of a civilized planet alone?"
Seaforth's powerful words left the right-wing officials at the meeting speechless. Some people retorted in a low voice: "You can't fight violence with violence."
Seaforth sneered and did not respond. He just looked at the terminal on his wrist, stood up and said: "I wasted an hour here today, and my poor compatriots endured another hour of war. My conscience does not allow me to play around anymore. You’re talking too much.”
After finishing speaking, Seaforth ignored the colorful expressions of those present and raised his lips at the representatives of G44: "See you later, everyone." Then he turned around and strode away.
The adjutant behind him bowed slightly to everyone, then followed Seaforth out of the conference room holding the document.
After coming down from the meeting, Seaforth led the army to the border planet almost non-stop.
It is easy to carry out a military strike on the G44 star, but it will be much more difficult to do so without harming civilians. In addition, there are so many eyes staring at the star, Seaforth is very constrained.
"Deng Deng" There was a knock on the door of the combat command room.
Seaforth opened his eyes: "Come in."
The door was pushed open, Adjutant Qiu walked to Seaforth, opened the terminal and called up an investigation report: "The remaining five military strongholds of G44 began to block news and restrict the flow of people around them. The reason is that the imperial army is killing people indiscriminately outside. So keep everyone safe.”
Even though he knew what kind of virtue C44 was, Seaforth was once again speechless by its shamelessness.
Spreading rumors to smear the Imperial City Galaxy was its usual practice, but during the war, it could not have been more obvious what its intentions were when it forcibly kept the people near the military area even though it knew that the Empire would launch an attack on its own troops.
"Qiu, why do you think someone would support such a planet?"
Adjutant Qiu pushed up his glasses: "Sir, there is a saying in our ancient country that 'nature is inherently evil'. The scholar who said this said that some people are born evil and need education to return them to the right path."
Seaforth shrugged: "Destruction is the most efficient form of education, and there will never be a second chance to make a mistake."
"The Empire will be targeted, sir."
"The empire has been targeted not once or twice. We have been out for more than a month, and I haven't been able to hug my lover for more than a month. Can you understand this feeling, Qiu?"
"Oh, sorry I forgot you're a bachelor."
There was no apology in Seaforth's tone, and he continued to complain: "I even missed the birth of my little angel, the first time she opened her eyes, the first time she cried, you can understand..."
"Sir," Lieutenant Qiu took a deep breath and interrupted with a smile: "Actually, we are not without solutions."
"G44 wants to use civilians as human shields to coerce us, which really limits the use of our thermal weapons. Using weapons of mass destruction in the eyes of so many interstellar media will put us in the spotlight."
"So, we can definitely learn from our opponents."
Seaforth raised his eyes.
Adjutant Qiu tapped quickly on the keyboard a few times and called up a document. That was a report that a certain small planet was invaded by an infectious disease. The source of the infectious disease was identified as the feces of a scavenging bird.
The virus spread quickly after it was discovered on the planet. Because it was a new type of virus, the small planet had no way to deal with it. In just one month, almost all the residents of the planet were infected by the virus, and society was paralyzed.
Countries adjacent to the planet have also been implicated and have denounced and demanded compensation.
At this time, G44 announced that it had developed an antidote to the virus, which had been used on people in its own country and proved to be effective.
The leader of the small planet immediately decided to buy the antidote, but the conditions proposed by G44 surprised everyone. In addition to the cost of the antidote, they also asked to sign a fifty-year trade contract with the small planet and purchase the small planet's original black crystal ore at a price 50% lower than the market price.
As one of the main energy sources, black crystal plays an important role in many industries. Ninety percent of the obsidian mines are in the hands of the state, and a few small veins are privately owned. This has also resulted in the price of obsidian being relatively stable and difficult to have major fluctuations.
The small planet has a medium-sized mineral vein of good quality, and the main source of the country's economy relies on the export of black crystal.
It can be said that this condition of G44 star bites their main artery. The emperor of the small planet's first reaction was to refuse, which is really ridiculous! Even during the great interstellar turmoil, the price of Black Crystal did not fall below 50%!
Star G44 arrogantly said that the cost of making potions is high and their country also needs it. Even so, they are still willing to "selflessly" help others. However, the emperor values profits and does not care about the safety of the people. He is not willing to pay even this "little" reward. …
When such an announcement was issued, public opinion arose. Some people called the emperor a miser, while others questioned the G44 Star Lion's openness.
The emperor had no choice but to negotiate with G44 Star and concluded the deal with a ten-year contract at a 40% discount on the market price.
Although a few pieces of meat were lost, the turmoil was finally stabilized, and infectious diseases on the small planet were cured one by one.
The emperor even felt a little lucky. Fortunately, the antidote for G44 came in time and the people did not suffer too many casualties. But several reports that appeared later made his blood pressure rise, and he wanted to tear up the contract.
News from the G44 star country has leaked out. A biological laboratory in a certain suburb has been leaked. It seems that some experimental subjects have escaped. The miserable conditions of the animals that were the experimental subjects in the pictures are breathtaking.
The symptoms that appear in experimental animals are generally the same as those of infectious diseases that break out on small planets. Let’s look at the time when the photo was taken just two months ago.
At this time, another planet broke the news that G44 imported a large amount of medicines and chemical raw materials from their planet half a year ago. Now it seems that it is extremely scary to think about it...
These coincidences point to the relationship between infectious diseases and the G44 star, but in the end there is no direct evidence. The G44 star refuses to admit it. Even if the people of the small planet are angry, they have no choice but to supply the G44 star at low prices for the next ten years. Hei Yaojing is not aggrieved.
"You mean..." Seaforth's eyes flashed.
"The virus can break out on Manta without any warning, so of course it can also happen on G44."
Seaforth curled his lips and smiled: "You are right, Qiu. So which virus do you think may find them? I think 'Huoshaoyun' and 'Little Girl' are good."
Adjutant Qiu choked and coughed a few times: "Ahem! I don't think it's possible! Sir! Do you want to destroy the G44 star directly?"
"It's better to use the one they developed themselves." Adjutant Qiu suggested.
"That incident has long passed. Due to the confidence that the virus and antidote formulas were developed by ourselves, G44 will not keep many finished medicines. Their airspace has been blocked by us, and it is impossible to purchase raw materials from other countries."
"The fatality rate of this virus is also controlled at a just right level. The most important thing is——"
The two looked at each other, and Seaforth laughed: "The stars already know that the virus was developed by them, so it is normal for it to be leaked again. In any case, we cannot be blamed."
"Forcing them to submit without moving a single soldier or a single general, he is worthy of being my deputy."
Adjutant Qiu was speechless for two seconds when he heard his boss's shameless words, and then he said, "Sir, I hope you don't think this suggestion is cruel."
Seaforth stood up, shook his cloak, and patted the adjutant's shoulder: "We have been friends for so many years, I think you should have known that I am not a good person. I don't believe that such a country can educate any good birds, whether old or young. In comparison, I believe more in 'cutting the weeds without uprooting them, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows'."
Adjutant Qiu: This doesn’t seem to be what you said, sir...
"Let's make arrangements and implement them. I hope to see my 'little princess' before the Spring Festival."
