Chapter 587: storm

"I heard that there were insurgents, and many space stations were captured."
"Yeah, it's those clones, it's all on the news."
10 am
Two men in suits and round hats are sitting in a cafe on a lively commercial street in Star City. They are drinking morning tea, and the street is full of people.
All the buildings are regular, only 7-storey high metal buildings, and the exterior walls are painted in many styles and colors, and there is a large black panel on the roof of each building.
This is a solar power panel. Because the moon rotates on its axis for nearly a month, these solar power panels cover the entire city. With the continuous trial and improvement of a large number of scientists, it only takes ten days of light to make a building like this. The seven-storey building covering an area of ​​200 square meters can meet the electricity needs for 20 days.
The streets are all metal, and the means of transportation are flying cars or motorcycles suspended in the sky. The car is flying at the upper level, and the motorcycle is a little bit below. Everything seems to be in order.
The entire Star City has a population of more than 2 million and has a complete business system. Everyone's life is very good, and most people's work is very leisurely, because everything they need to eat, drink and live is free every month. The money you earn only needs to be spent.
According to the law, each citizen can have three clones to work for him at the same time. 30% of all the value of the clones needs to be turned over to the state as a tax, 20% as the maintenance cost of the clone, and 20% as a facility For maintenance costs, 20% goes to the reserve, and only 10% of the proceeds go to citizens.
The 20% that enters the reserve will be dispatched in various aspects according to the situation. Many people actually know that the bulk of the money has been taken away by some big capital groups and founders of the empire. Just a little petty profit.
But the residents of the entire Skyspace Kingdom have a very high quality of life in terms of entertainment and life. Although there are occasional voices of opposition, most of the time, these voices are very rare.
"But why didn't the Imperial Army clean up those clones?"
"Maybe they were hiding."
The chat between the two men caught the attention of a reporter at the next table, who immediately asked.
"Gentlemen, where did you hear this news?"
"It was broadcast on the Ninth District News Channel this morning."
The reporter immediately took out the tablet crystal computer with serious eyes, and began to search the Internet. Obviously, this news has been blocked. He has been wandering around the city for a while, passing three major districts. , but these two men alone are talking about the clone rebellion.
The reporter's name is Victor, a reporter from Star Truth Media. He smiled slightly and asked in detail when the two men saw it. The time the two men remembered, it should be at 8:00 in the morning when.
But now Victor searched for news about the Clone Rebellion, and couldn't find any news, so he was sure that the empire should have used power to suppress the matter, and where did the news come from Victor very interested.
If you go directly to the ninth district news channel to ask, you will not be able to ask anything. Victor got a tip on this matter last night. He is an informant in the army who regularly provides some news materials. Basically, it is true, but the key It was Channel Nine who provided the clues about what happened.
As long as the person who provided the clues is found and interviewed, they will gain a lot of popularity again, and their salary will increase a lot.
Victor is a little hesitant now. Such a good opportunity to make a fortune will not work if it is not reported. Although there is a certain degree of risk, it is obvious that the benefits outweigh the risks.
Victor continued to ask. After a while, he left the coffee shop. He could only look around for a place where some people gathered and listen to what everyone was saying.
However, when it was time for lunch, Victor had not heard any useful information, and there was still no news about the clone rebellion taking over the space station on the Internet.
In the entire Star City, as long as the founders are not involved, there is no problem, even if it involves the merchant army, there is no problem. Victor is thinking about what to do next. The security maintenance vehicle of the first army group slowly fell. When Victor was puzzled, he saw several people from the Star Air Force come out and walked directly to him.
"Mr. Victor, you are suspected of serious economic crimes, please go back with us to assist in the investigation."
Immediately, Victor took out the phone and asked to contact the lawyer. He probably knew what was going on. He would have secret conversations with the informant in the military every time, and then Victor gave the money and got it inside the army. Some of the exposed secrets were then published.
Several times the army has spent money on things, but this time it seems a bit difficult to handle. Victor honestly got into the car, he looked around a little scared, but soon Victor found something wrong, because The place to go is not the public security management station, but directly towards the station of the first army.
Victor didn't speak either, he knew it wasn't easy, he'd done this many times before, but never once was he brought directly to the military, it seemed economic crime was just an excuse to take him there That's it.
Soon the car stopped in front of a facility. This facility was not the main facility but was hidden behind the main facility. Victor was taken in, but he was not handcuffed.
Victor was taken to a room, and he seemed to understand as soon as he entered. The person sitting in the room was Ina, the secretary of First Army General Nikolai.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
Victor nodded.
He knew very well what Ina wanted to do.
"It's all you have to say, Ina-sama. As long as it is where I can help, please feel free to speak."
There was a rattling sound, and a bag of star coins was placed on the table. Victor swallowed. He heard that the sound should be star coins. After he hurriedly opened it, he was stunned. It turned out to be gold coins. This kind of empire has the highest value It is unbelievable that there is a bag full of currency.
One Gold Star Coin can be exchanged for 1,000 Blue Star Coins and 10,000 Red Star Coins. Although I don’t know how many there are, it is definitely possible to buy a 200-square-meter apartment in a lively area.
Seeing so much money, Victor lost his excitement, but felt scared.
"Lord Yina, giving me so much money is probably not a trivial matter."
More money means higher risk, and it is given so much at one time, Victor is not stupid, Ina just said with a smile.
"Do you know why the report was suddenly stopped this morning?"
Victor said after thinking for a moment.
"It should be an adult who shot directly."
Ina did not answer this question, but directly handed over a tablet crystal computer, Victor looked suspiciously, Ina said.
"There are some report materials here. We need you to report some of them for a while. It's a good deal."
"Can I see what's inside first?"
Victor asked, and Ina laughed.
"You didn't have to choose Mr. Victor. You used to secretly trade with the people of our First Army and concocted a lot of news that made our entire regiment uncomfortable. Some of these news were untrue, and you privately made news. The deal below..."
"I know Ina-sama."
Victor put away a heavy bag of money and a computer. He really has no choice now. It seems that the handle has been grasped by the other party.
"I only have one question, if I'm in danger because of these reports..."
"You just report some facts truthfully and let the public know the truth, and we will naturally protect you."
Victor felt a chill rise up his back, and he instantly thought that the sky country was going to change, and he would be involved in the factional struggle, which was extremely unwilling for Victor.
"Take me hello to your wife and children, and your little lover."
As Ina said, Victor felt terrified again, and then he was taken away.
After leaving for Victor, Ina sighed, and now she can only use such filthy methods. Ina handed Victor the criminal evidence of some businessmen in the past, as well as some of the things the founders did. Dirty things, it's all about getting a head start and paving the way for the queen to clean up these dissents.
Ina knows very well that a silent storm is coming. Even if the clones don't start a rebellion, the storm will start sooner or later. The creators of all walks of life are already gearing up for the throne, forcing the queen to choose. Decide the next king.
If it wasn't for the Queen who transferred four of the five major armies from the lunar base a few years ago, leaving only the first army directly under her confidant, this empire would have had a coup d'état long ago.
Fortunately, the second and third armies are ready to serve the queen, which makes Ina relieved. This time the purge must be done quickly, and a response must be made in a short period of time. Negotiate with the clone front. The person has passed by, with some information about the Queen's hostile forces within the empire.
The plan is to clear these enemies through the hands of the clone front, and that's the best thing to do right now.
All of this is to avoid war within the empire, and it has to be done. Ina has noticed some signs from a long time ago. These are collected by the spies of the first army. The matter of the clone front is just a small problem. The Fourth and Fifth Army was the big problem.
The two army groups are supported by the merchants of Star City and some of the founders, and their strength is far more than the first army, but now that the Libra has begun to fall to the Queen's side, Yina can be considered at ease.
After a while, Ina left the facility, and after a while, Nek came over.
"What are you doing here?"
"it's nothing."
Nek stared suspiciously at Ina, who said with a sigh.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. This is my advice to you."
Hearing Ina's cold tone, Nek thought for a moment and said.
"I've always felt that we should clean up the clones that are causing problems."
Yina didn't plan to explain anything to the child. He was still too young, and he still had a long way to go. After a few steps, Yina immediately summoned a few spies from the First Army.
"You stared at Captain Nek and stared him to death."
The reason why Yina did this was because he was afraid that this young man would do something stupid. After all, he had a very good relationship with the young commanders of other army groups.
Soon Ina came to the office. Nikolai had just ended a meeting. Sure enough, he did not let Nek participate, and all the core commanders of the First Army were involved.
"how is the situation?"
"I've found it, Victor of Truth Media."
Nikolai nodded.
"Today they should be able to reach the base of the clone front, what do you think they will do?"
"If they're smart enough, they should want to use us in reverse."
Nikolai nodded. There are many problems with the clone front now. Even if they have captured five space stations, it is very difficult for so many people to survive without the supply of the empire.
"The trade-offs they should understand."
2pm
Hurt was lying quietly on the edge of the pool, while Maggie was helping him massage.
"It's really good for you to rest for a few days. We can go shopping and watch movies and eat."
Hurt nodded comfortably. He wanted to take a good rest these few days, and then take Maggie to meet the people of his family. After all, the wedding has been settled. Although Hurt is very clear, Maggie is Because of the queen's arrangement, he was by his side, but now it doesn't matter.
Then Huerter got up and put on his clothes, while Maggie started to dress up. He casually opened the news and watched it. Life is easy now, and the pressure on his body disappeared in an instant, but Huerter often thinks about it these days. Stokov, he really hopes to have a good chat with him.
It's a pity that it is basically impossible now. Everything has already started. Sure enough, a striking news suddenly appeared, and it was immediately browsed by people. It was a report by Victor reporter from the truth media.
Keya Resource Collection Company once deducted the wages of many workers, and when the workers gathered to protest, they killed some of the leading workers without causing an accident.
"Have you started yet!"
Hurt smiled. He didn't expect Nikolai to start so quickly. When Hurt delivered some supplies to the clone front, this company has been in contact with them many times. They can do a lot as long as they give money. things, but they have always been staunch anti-queenists.
This is also the reason why Hurt will have some cooperation with them, and he was also a staunch anti-queen in the past.
"Okay, Hurt, let's go out and watch a movie."
Hurt nodded, got up and left the room with Maggie.
Immediately after leaving the palace, it was a lively square. Helter remembered that his father often brought him here when he was a child.
"Remember the past, Hurt?"
"Maggie, how was your childhood?"
Maggie was a little puzzled, but said immediately.
"It's almost the same, after all, we are all nobles."
