076 The real opponent(1/2)
The Sherman Empire Mission was not at all arrogant or condescending.
From princes, elders, generals, to maids, guards, and low-ranking officers, they all behaved politely, followed the etiquette of nobles in their words and deeds, and also showed great respect to Edwan and the subjects of the Luofeng Empire.
This may be a way for powerful empires to win over people's hearts.
——Yang Ming analyzed it this way.
Yang Ming did not deliberately seek the limelight, but calmly stayed by Edwang's side, acting as Edwang's trusted guard.
When the Sherman delegation entered the long motorcade, Yang Ming was named by Edwang to ride with him. Several other captains and deputy captains of the fourth regiment were responsible for commanding and leading the team.
Ding.
Obtained Halo: The Second Prince's Asylum.
At this moment, Yang Ming was sitting in the co-pilot of the extended suspension vehicle, his eyes alertly scanning in all directions.
Adwan and the old prince of the Sherman Empire sat opposite each other and said some greetings that used a lot of modifiers.
The only topic that interested Yang Ming was when Sherman's old prince mentioned Edwan's previous performance.
"Alas," the prince said with emotion, "I didn't expect that at the most critical moment, His Highness would choose to completely trust the Sherman family. This is really our honor."
Edwan was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "The Sherman Empire has always provided great help to our country and is the protector of our family. This choice is natural."
The prince chuckled a few times and said slowly:
"Sherman's principle has always been that if our friends treat us with sincerity, Sherman's people will repay our friends with even greater sincerity.
"And you, His Highness Edwan, the report of the Seventh Bureau of Foreign Affairs said that you have a smart mind and excellent vision, and you can develop business in the great empire and the despicable federal land at the same time, so as to give back to your motherland.
This is very courageous behavior.
"But I think you can increase your investment focus on us next. I have brought a deputy minister of commerce with you, and he will discuss this with you later."
"Wow, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Edwan said in admiration. "The empire has actually been paying attention to us. I am deeply moved by this."
"Yes," the prince smiled gently, "we just don't want to compete with the New Federation in terms of insidiousness and despicability. When the situation undergoes some subversive changes, the empire's invincible fleet will stand firmly as an ally of the empire.
Behind the scenes. You know what I mean, nephew Edwan."
Edwang smiled and nodded, his eyes full of light.
But Yang Ming guessed that the prince must be scolding his mother in his heart.
The Seventh Bureau of Foreign Affairs of the Sherman Empire is a department specifically responsible for handling relations with subordinate countries.
Yang Ming kept thinking in his heart.
The throne, the old emperor sitting quietly, and the other person's indifferent eyes would always appear before his eyes.
The chat between the old prince and Edwan continued, but the content became boring and full of perfunctory compliments.
They arrived at the large 'overpass' outside the palace without any obstruction and went straight to the front yard of the palace. When the palace opened a layer of defensive energy shield, Yang Ming's escort mission came to an end smoothly.
There was no car accident at all.
Yang Ming did not attend the following welcome reception.
He wandered to the command and dispatch center where General Fremont was located, sat in the corner and listened to the news for a while, and then he got a rough idea of what had happened.
First, the military captured the New Federation spies and stopped the conspiracy planned by the New Federation.
Second, the police received a tip in advance and arrested several rebel members who wanted to attack the mission's convoy, thus protecting this extremely important mission.
Third, General Uli has been invited by the Royal Court to assist in the investigation due to the scandalous news.
Fourth, the Third Prince, who is currently at the welcome reception, has arranged manpower to suppress online public opinion and clear up the scandal in Wuli.
pretty.
Several news are all related to Xiaolu.
"Captain Yang Ming?"
A gentle voice came from the front.
Yang Ming immediately looked up and saw the tall, bald, bespectacled general of the royal guard, Philemon.
General Fremont waved gently, and Yang Ming immediately stood up and jogged to the general command podium.
"Sit down, Captain," General Philemon pointed to the seat next to him, "Don't be too formal, help me look at these projection screens for a while, my old eyes are almost blurred."
Yang Ming performed a military salute and then sat down relaxedly.
A female officer wearing a military uniform and skirt brought coffee to the side. Yang Ming thanked him and took it. He glanced at the surveillance screens in various locations and his eyes fell on the projection screens in the center.
What is presented here is the royal reception.
The emperor, princes, idle princes, high-ranking nobles, ministers and ministers' children of the Luofeng Empire are gathering together.
But they are just supporting roles.
The real protagonists are the old Prince Sherman, who is over a hundred years old but still energetic, and the Sherman generals.
Only Gudunmaha from the Luofeng Army attended this gathering. Other military leaders complained of illness and did not dare to come to Ellando Planet at all.
Yang Ming couldn't help but wonder——
If a shaped bomb is thrown into the venue at this time, wouldn't the Luofeng Empire be able to directly enter a new chapter of order?
General Fremont next to him sighed softly: "This is the most powerful empire in the galaxy. The aura of one general alone makes almost all our ministers fearful."
Yang Ming took a sip of the coffee and said with a smile: "Sherman's old prince is very optimistic about the second prince."
"I have also received relevant news," Philemon said. "It seems that because of the last meeting, His Royal Highness the Second Prince strongly suggested asking the Sherman Empire for help, and the Sherman Empire knew about this... Sherman did indeed
We have intelligence agents buried here, and the methods used to hide them are hundreds of times better than those bastards from the New Federation."
Yang Ming asked: "What are those New Federation agents doing now?"
"They just planned an attack and used an internal agent at the military level who was buried in the military."
Philemon shrugged:
"Although I don't like Gudunmaha, this old boy's sense of smell is more sensitive than the nose of a mechanical dog...Fortunately, he didn't cause a big mess."
Yang Ming nodded with a smile.
It would not be bad if Gudun Mahar could use this incident to increase his influence in the military.
This is also part of Yang Ming's resources.
Yang Ming stared at the corner of the reception where Miss Windsor was chatting with two noble ladies.
However, Windsor looked a little bored. The two noble ladies were talking softly, and Windsor was trying to blend in.
Philemon said: "You can guard the projection screen here later, Captain Yang Ming. No one will target you here."
"Thank you," Yang Ming said softly.
Philemon smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to thank me. You gave me hope for the Luofeng Empire's army in the future. Alas, this will be your stage from now on, Captain Yang Ming."
"General, you are being too modest. The cub must make its claws sharper before it can go hunting alone."
Yang Ming took off his watch, opened the privacy-protecting flat screen projection, tapped quickly with his fingers, and responded casually:
"Do you want to retire now? There is still a long way to go."
Philemon sighed: "I hope so."
Yang Ming sent a message.
In the corner of the reception, Miss Windsor, who was wearing an evening gown, immediately took out her network access terminal and looked at it. A faint smile appeared in the corners of her eyes, and her fingers kept flying.
Old General Philemon captured this scene keenly. He shrugged and continued his daily work - staring at every corner of the palace.
…
The Sherman Mission will stay on Elendor for three days.
Yang Ming took a look at their itinerary. It basically consisted of three days of noble cocktail parties, inspections of several rhodium-6 ring core factories, and a press conference to express the support of the Sherman Empire royal family to the Luofeng Empire royal family.
, and declared each other to be eternal partners.
Because Emperor Sherman is ill, he will be accompanied by three princes throughout the journey.
Yang Ming doesn't pay attention to these face-saving projects.
He is waiting.
Wait for anyone from the Sherman Empire's envoy to appear in the old emperor's palace.
If the Sherman mission did not have any form of individual contact with the old emperor, then nothing could be proven, and this omnic was still full of mysteries.
This is the only clue currently.
For this reason, Yang Ming took the initiative to apply to Fremont for full-time duty.
In the past three days, he only slept four or five hours a day, spending most of his time in front of hundreds of projection screens, directly participating in the mobilization of guards everywhere, and keeping a close eye on the old emperor's activities.
Yang Ming's drive to "endure hardship and work hard" was greatly praised by the pragmatic General Fremont.
General Fremont's opinions on Yang Ming's promotion have been written into a memorandum.
