Chapter 1133: Chapter 442: The Calling (Part 2)
Yang Ming retorted: “Then what am I supposed to do? Change my principles, or should I degrade myself in front of the public? General, I am soone who values this bit of false reputation. I can forgo everything else, but this reputation is sothing I must maintain.”
Thomas raised his hand to rub his forehead, letting out a long sigh.
“Beyond reputation, there is influence.”
“If this problem is unsolvable, could it be that the problem isn’t with ?”
Yang Ming chuckled:
“General, I know you’re thinking about , but you can’t ask an idealist to abandon his ideals, ask an official who wants to keep clean to engage in corruption, or ask a warrior to discard his own honor.
“Thank you, General.
“However, I will continue down the path I’ve chosen, and no matter how much resistance I encounter, I will strive to overco it one by one.
“Honestly, the current state of the Empire is not my concern. All I need now is to maintain a good relationship with the Sherman family and His Majesty to accomplish my mission.”
“Hanton,” Thomas said, “I was once an idealist too.”
“Yes, General, I can feel it,” Yang Ming’s eyes glead with a bit of light, “but I hope that in the future, you will beco a new idealist.”
“I’ll try my best.”
“Let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll take a break and prepare the plan to round up the terrorists,” Yang Ming raised his drink bottle, “I don’t want to be at odds with the Military Departnt, but if anyone from the departnt tries to hinder , I won’t hold back.”
“I will appropriately convey your ssage to them.”
Swoosh!
The communication screen was abruptly cut off.
Boss Yang squinted his eyes with a smile as he leaned back in the captain’s chair, gradually sinking into thought.
Is the Military Departnt starting to fear now?
With great power, cos great danger if not countered.
In the vast history of the Empire, there are surely many secrets known only to the royal family and the elite faction of the Sherman family. Among these secrets, there should be repeated lessons.
Should I slightly accelerate my various plans?
“Lyu?”
Yang Ming asked: “Do you think we should speed up dealing with that matter?”
“Boss, there’s no need to rush,” Lyu’s voice carried a touch of etherealness, “think about the colossal cha on Emperor Star.”
“Ah, let’s be a bit more cautious,” Yang Ming instantly quelled his inner urge for political adventure, “deploy more computing power within Emperor Star; the Old Emperor’s attitude toward is quite important now.”
“Understood, Boss,” Lyu asked, “should I occasionally chat with him for you?”
“You arrange it as you see fit,” Yang Ming laughed, “there’s no need to ask about such trivial matters, but rember to show the chat logs afterward.”
“Understood!”
Lyu chuckled a few tis, perhaps amused by so interesting thought.
Yang Ming stretched lazily, got up, and went to the sofa bed in the corner.
He needed a good rest too.
The internal scheming and maneuvering of the Empire were more exhausting than beheading the Great Queen of the Insect Race.
…
Dominicans?
Outside the Empire’s borders, in a hidden chamber aboard a rchant ship, Catherine and over a dozen transford people who had defected from the Empire, along with so leaders of the Resistance Organization, were holding a routine eting.
Catherine crossed her arms, leaning beside a shelf, her brow slightly furrowed.
Her tall and slender figure always exuded an inexplicable allure.
But those present, who had seen her in battle, clad in armor, found no ti to appreciate this feminine charm. Every ti they finished speaking, they would instinctively glance at Catherine.
Fortunately, Catherine seed to be in a good mood today and did not raise any of her sharp and pointed questions.
When it was Catherine’s turn to make her concluding remarks, she actively returned to the conference table, opened a projection map, revealing the vast frontier of the Sherman Empire.
“I’ve heard your reports, everyone’s developnts have been impressive lately.”
The group hurriedly nodded.
Catherine asked slowly, “What does everyone think of the Dominicans? Summarize in a simple sentence.”
“Uh, big sister, they’re a bunch of lunatics, and they usually strike ruthlessly, with no rcy on civilians.”
“However, they are our important partners and one of the main forces of the resistance organizations within the Empire.”
“The regional team I am responsible for has always maintained a cooperative relationship with them. They are very familiar with the operations of the Empire’s border forces and have deeply infiltrated the Imperial Army’s grassroots, and they seem to never run out of warriors and technicians.”
“Behind us is the remote capital of the Free Federation, and behind them is the New Federation CIA. Although there are differences between the two, we are all engaged in anti-imperialism business, so cooperation is inevitable.”
Everyone spoke, each expressing a similar viewpoint.
——The Dominicans are their comrades.
Catherine nodded slightly, speaking slowly, “Everyone is now standing in the anti-imperial camp on the sa line, and in the future, interactions will be inevitable.”
The group all nodded.
“Big sister, why did you suddenly ask this?”
“Did they offend you in so way, big sister? If they don’t behave, we can directly deal with them!”
“Previously, we were super warriors of the Empire, not very familiar with these guys. Now we have almost mastered their tactics, and the areas they are active in are all under our control. If there is a conflict with them, I suggest we carry out a decapitation action.”
“They are not afraid of the Empire’s regular army; they fear us transford people.”
“Actually, there have been several incidents where they intercepted our key materials, the gene stabilizing agents we need to use. Two channels are in their hands, and they once tried to use this to pressure us.”
“Big sister, why are you smiling?”
Catherine said calmly, “Just suddenly felt that you guys have completely changed from before. This change is not bad, and it feels a bit more intimate.”
A middle-aged advisor type aunt laughed:
“Leader, we are actually two kinds of people with them.
“Our ideal is to revive this Empire through our efforts, allowing billions of people to establish a stable, prosperous, democratic, and free ideal nation.”
“But they are not; they want to overthrow the Empire. They detest everything about the Empire, even the innocent civilians.”
“That is indeed a problem,” Catherine nodded slowly, “Today’s eting, I would like to add a topic for everyone, how to get them to walk the sa path as us, and how to make the Dominicans stop hating the Empire’s civilians, focusing all their energy on the imperial noble class.”
Everyone looked at each other.
“Big sister, why are you suddenly interested in these.”
“Moreover, the Dominican terrorist organization has always been very radical. Should we persuade them? Uh, the moderately Imperial Revolutionary Army trying to persuade the radical international terrorist groups, isn’t that a bit absurd.”
“What’s absurd about it?”
Catherine said solemnly, “Everything is to overthrow imperialism and the privileged noble class! Now let’s all think well, I will give you half an hour. If anyone can’t co up with an idea, go to the ring and fight three rounds with .”
The group of n and won, including advisors, all shuddered a few tis.
Catherine dragged a chair over, elegantly crossed her legs, opened a book constructed by virtual projection, quietly waiting for her subordinates to contribute an excellent idea.
Previously, Lyu inford her to prepare to receive the Dominicans’ terrorist organization;
Catherine does not understand why this would happen, but her trust in Lyu and her understanding of Yang Ming made her imdiately begin preparing for these operations.
Actually, the most difficult problem is how to incorporate these radical Dominicans, and how to make them follow her command.
Using force to coerce will only backfire. At this stage, the only way seems to be to persuade… cough, to protect them, gain their trust, and gradually beco their leader.
‘He will soon be near the border.’
A slight smile suddenly appeared on Catherine’s lips.
A warrior glanced at her, and Catherine quickly regained her calm expression, maintaining her authority as the big sister.
anwhile.
In the corner of the East Wind’s bridge.
Yang Ming, who had just fallen asleep, lightly furrowed his brows, feeling as though he had entered a dreamland, but this dream was very hazy, and his mind was unusually active.
This wasn’t dreaming, it was more like so sort of psychic connection.
It felt a bit like the hallucination he had when briefly dizzy after the showdown with the Great Queen.
‘Ming…’
The familiar call.
