Chapter 1132: Chapter 442: A Voice Calling
The Military Departnt has withdrawn, but not completely.
Perhaps those bigwigs in the Military Departnt were directly rebuffed by Yang Ming, and couldn’t bear the embarrassnt, so the withdrawal order rely required the imperial fleet to leave the three Dominicos planets and remain at the farthest attack distance of the Dreadnought to continue pressuring the Dominicans.
Yang Ming also received a synchronization order from the Empire, instructing him to proceed to the Empire’s border region as soon as possible to complete a handover with the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau.
Despite the tough stance, the order still has to be obeyed.
To facilitate the subsequent plan, Yang Ming did not ride in the fleet’s escort formation but let this escort formation carry out the normal advancing order, to rendezvous with the bordering fleet of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the designated Star Domain.
He himself took aboard the East Wind, stealthily sailing near the escort formation.
Yang Ming had just returned to the East Wind and hadn’t had ti for a brief interaction with Little Lyu when an encrypted channel’s private communication was projected over by Lyu.
“Boss! Admiral Thomas! Through the cara on his side, it seems his mood is quite delightful.”
“Delightful?”
Yang Ming was a bit puzzled, raised his hand and clicked confirm, and General Thomas’s bust instantly appeared before Yang Ming.
Admiral Thomas’s smile beca even more noticeable, and this illustrious Empire general, his eyes filled with laughter, said warmly: “Hanton, how are you feeling now?”
“Feeling? It’s fine, what’s happening?”
“Oh,” Admiral Thomas laughed, “your performance in the eting just now was truly dazzling, hahaha! It’s the first ti I’ve seen those guys with faces like pig liver, not daring to utter a word contradicted.”
Yang Ming shrugged and went to the mini-fridge for a bottle of soda, sitting in his captain’s seat.
Yang Ming mumbled: “Do they really want to perform slave raids?”
“Yes,” Thomas laughed, “Many people want you to dirty your hands, which gradually could weaken your influence within the Empire internally, including at the grassroots of the Imperial Military Departnt.”
Boss Yang could only pout.
Thomas restrained his smile and said solemnly: “You need to be aware of this issue, Hanton. Now there’s both fear and jealousy of you within the Empire, you’ve given them a lot of intangible pressure.”
“What can I do about it?”
“This question, only you can find the answer.”
Thomas chuckled, his tone relaxing: “How did you acquire that list?”
“I used psychological manipulation to enter their core, negotiated a bit with their leader.”
Yang Ming did not share the relevant intelligence, instead asked:
“What is the Empire’s current attitude towards Dominicos? Is it rely bullying and exploitation?”
“Yes,” Thomas said without any hesitation, “In the Empire’s history, incidents like the Dominicos tragedy have occurred many tis, but Dominicos should be the most unique one, as the Empire could not suppress and annex this nation within a hundred years.”
“Oh?” Yang Ming asked, “How does suppression and annexation happen?”
“Quite simple,” Thomas said, “One part is incorporating slaves, another part is oppression until they lose vitality, then implenting differentiated managent over slave personnel. Parents give birth to children, children are raised in concentration, erasing their history and culture. Without national culture, national hatred naturally ceases to exist.”
Yang Ming slightly frowned: “The Empire often does such things?”
“If you look at the span of tens of thousands of years of history, the occurrences are nurous, and the frequency isn’t low.”
Thomas sighed:
“Population plunder is an essential condition to maintain the high material life for Imperial Nobles.
“External warfare, incorporation of slave status is a more radical ans, while the vassal state system is a more moderate and sustainable ans.
“Hanton, you now stand in the Empire’s core echelon, possessing an influence beyond ordinary Great Nobles, you must accept these facts and learn to be a general with an imperial flavor.”
Yang Ming couldn’t help but laugh.
The Empire’s flavor, what flavor? Tyrannical, arbitrary? He should also have a large manor, keeping beautiful slave won?
Boss Yang sighed: “I might never fully assimilate into this circle, but I will strive to make so adaptive changes.”
Thomas asked: “Hanton, answer truthfully, are you dissatisfied with the current situation of the Empire?”
“Yes,” Yang Ming said seriously, “You don’t know the mission I carry, let describe it briefly, I have to find a way for the humans from my holand to reach the Milky Way and find a new ho… I am concerned about the existing environnt of the Empire.”
“I know roughly about this issue.”
Thomas pondered for a few monts, gazing at Yang Ming:
“So, you actually aren’t dissatisfied with the Empire, dissatisfied with His Majesty, or dissatisfied with the Military Departnt?”
“Why would I be dissatisfied with those?”
Yang Ming also spoke earnestly:
“I’ve walked this way, you’ve watched over , you should know , I have a unique sentint towards the Empire.”
“Indeed, Hanton,” Thomas sighed, “but now the situation is, many people think you are a ti bomb, once it explodes, it will dismantle the Empire’s current frawork.”
Yang Ming:…
To be honest, their intuition is quite accurate.
“Let ti prove it,” Yang Ming sighed, “General, once I finish the siege against the Dominicos terrorist organization, I will find a way to step back from any position of real power.”
“The Empire’s real power is not the crucial thing,” Thomas said, “The key is actually the trust from the populace, soldiers, grassroots officers in you, and their expectations of you, they will anticipate you to prompt changes in the Empire.”
