Him and their stars.

Chapter 1932: The election of an emperor also requires balance
Well, um, am I being detained?
Suo Baik felt a little guilty for a moment. Isn't the biggest fear of a normal worker being called in by his boss after a meeting?

But then again, she is a lieutenant general, and I am also a lieutenant general. We are all high-ranking generals, and we are all members of His Majesty King Su's shogunate. Who is afraid of whom? Before I became a lieutenant general, I was afraid of everyone? After I became a lieutenant general, I still have to be afraid of everyone. Isn't this lieutenant general in vain?
Jaeger Sobek thought so, but then he saw Serlu across the table. Before leaving, the Viscountess winked at him again, but he really didn't understand anything.

Soon, in the closed environment formed by the sound-blocking force field, only the confused Sobak and the female general (projection) a thousand light years away were left. The latter was staring at him with her charming heterochromatic eyes, showing obvious dissatisfaction.

However, considering Lieutenant General Rowentour's character, as long as he is not sarcastic or mean, it means that his anger is very limited.

The female general said with a straight face: "You are such a good person, Yeager. But sometimes kindness is not always a virtue."

Sobek lowered his head slightly: "I'm really sorry."

Rowentur looked at his colleague who was lowering his head and looking obedient. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. "Brother Jaeger, why are you always so quick to admit your mistakes? You are obviously a strong man, so why do you lack a bit of dominance?"

This is of course the life philosophy of a small town youth like me. People from poor families like us are used to being humble before communicating. You, the daughter of a noble family, must not understand, right?
Sobaek forced another business smile.

The female general said, "But I don't hate this feeling. Haha, everyone under your highness, including me, is unreliable. No, it should be said that including your highness, they are all crazy. Only Gilly and old man Hughley are decent people. Well, we really need people like you to help them share the burden."

Well, can a subordinate complain about his master in private like this? Is this the style of the shogunate of His Majesty Prince Su?
Now that things have come to this, the tense atmosphere has suddenly subsided.

The female general explained seriously, "That old fellow, that is, Brigadier General Lasron, I am not targeting you specifically. However, he once served as the director of the Military Engineering Bureau of the Border Star Region. Around 827, the Prime Minister's Office approved 100 billion gold royals of construction funds for the Sumoe Star Region, which was specifically used to improve the living facilities of the slave labor camps in the labor star region. According to the established plan, all labor camps in the Sumoe and Helotes star regions should be replaced with new water purification and dome equipment. On average, every thousand slaves should have a set of three medical robots."

Sobaek suddenly understood.

Everyone knows that in the Galactic Empire, slaves are big talking animals. But precisely because they are big animals, they still need to be well cared for, so their average lifespan is much higher than that of the consumables of the opposing alliance.

Therefore, the imperial government would always directly allocate funds to improve the living conditions of slave workers. In addition, the Chancellery would even jointly issue a bill with the Heraldry College, requiring all nobles to treat their slaves well, and the government would always check.

If a slave dies abnormally, the master will also be punished.

Luo Wentul added: "Later, the money was spent without knowing why, but nothing was built. According to the intelligence from the Black Tree Agency, he has an unavoidable responsibility for this matter. Even if he is not the main culprit, he must be one of the most important accomplices."

"Are you trying to control him? To find something to hold against him and force him to confess his corruption crimes?"

The female general smiled and said, "It would be a waste of resources just to confess the crime. Brigadier General Laslon would be of higher value. He is not a qualified director of engineering, let alone a qualified admiral. You can use as many handles as you want, and it's fair and aboveboard."

"But, 827 was almost ten years ago. The Prime Minister's Office should not plan to pursue the matter, right?" Sobaikeqi asked.

The female general nodded.

"Then let's..."

"Just because the Chancellery doesn't pursue it doesn't mean Your Highness shouldn't pursue it. What's the point of something that happened ten years ago? Even if it happened a hundred years ago, why can't we pursue it? The scale of this rebellion is so large and it lasted so long. Isn't it just the fire that has been buried all these years that is finally erupting? If we can't solve the problem at the root, how can we restore the security of the border star zone? Jaeger, Your Highness Brunhild has a grand vision, and we need to work hard to follow it."

Rowentur stared at Sobek. "Otherwise, Jaeger, what do you think we are doing? What is the purpose of His Highness sending you to Helots?"

This is for the royal property, right? More than 80% of the slaves in the Helots and Sumoa sectors are so-called "official slaves", which can also be regarded as the property of the imperial family in a sense. When people protect their private property, they always burst out with subjective initiative.

Sobaek subconsciously made this completion in his head, and then he wanted to slap himself.

Why do I think so? What kind of pollution is this? Sobek was a little dazed by what he did, so he said in a weak tone. "I, I am testing the new battleship."

"My main job is to suppress the rebellion." Lieutenant General Rowentul sneered, "Jaeger, there is no need to hide in front of your comrades. You have replaced all the security departments of the Helots. You have done much more than I have."

Sobaek wanted to explain, but he suddenly found that his behavior seemed inexplicable in every way.

It's over. If things continue like this, will I become the loyal vicious dog of Her Highness Brunhilde?
He was complaining to himself, but Lieutenant General Rowentur said, "However, you did nothing wrong. We have been doing too much recently, and we have offended many people. Is this the reason why Duke Barion will take over my position? He is also a veteran of the Empire and is not easy to fool. We have already made a good start in this regard, and we need to be more cautious in the future."

The female general probably knew that her colleagues were not very familiar with the upper echelons of the empire, so she then gave a detailed introduction to the Duke of Barion. He was sixty-five years old this year, and by the standards of a senior general, he was certainly still in his prime.

This is a typical senior general born into a noble family in the empire, with a resume so perfect that it is almost like a textbook.

When he was young, he received complete psychic training in the Knights Templar, began university education at the age of twenty, and joined the army directly after graduating from university at the age of twenty-five. After serving in the Imperial Army for thirty years, he was transferred to the reserve with the rank of general.

He spent the next ten years managing his family business in his hometown and also served as a senator in the Senate.

Now that such a big shot has returned to active service, all that’s left for him to receive the Marshal’s Scepter is a formality.

So, this is the scene of the rebellion suppression battlefield here?
"In addition, the Duke is the cousin of King Beduo, and King Beduo is King Weilunte's best friend. Jaeger, it has not been half a day since the annihilation of the Magus fleet. According to the efficiency in the past, the people of the Sky Domain Privy Council would not be able to come to the meeting. But those bigwigs immediately decided on the new candidate for the war zone commander. Do you understand now?"

I see. In the final analysis, it is a struggle between the electoral kings. In other words, there are still quite a few people in the upper echelons of the empire who do not want to add to the situation where Her Highness Brunhilde is the only one in power, so they will deliberately introduce a balance.

This is still the most optimistic tone. If we are pessimistic, it is actually Her Highness Brunhilde's political enemies who are taking action.

...Sobek, Sobek, why can you imagine so much? Why are you so familiar with the dark and dirty things in the court? He felt proud and bitter for a moment, and felt that he was no longer clean.

He said listlessly, "I thought the new commander was coming because of the war situation here. After all, it's a Titan-class Leviathan. Even if it was just naturally generated, it would be a sector-level scourge."

Lieutenant General Rowentour did not hide his doubts: "Yeger, do you really think that is a Leviathan? Is it part of the Zerg swarm we are chasing recently?"

What else? Sobek looked at the other party in confusion.

Olivia Rowentour folded her hands and said, "What exactly is this Zerg swarm? The Wisdom Palace has not yet come up with a perfect conclusion, but it is certain that it is closely related to the strange female psychic codenamed 'Queen'. In other words, the possibility that she is the highest controller of the Zerg is more than 90%."

Sobaek looked at the screen that appeared beside him, on which the image of the girl in the white dress appeared.

This was certainly not the first time he had seen a wanted poster for this unknown girl, but he still felt that giving this code name to a delicate and cute underage girl was too abstract.

"It is certain that she has a close cooperative relationship with the Earthlings' Pioneer Party and the Primary Color Rebels. We cannot rule out the possibility that she is a disciple of the Spiritual Research Society. Maybe she is the disciple of your old enemy." Olivia Rowentour said with a smile.

This strange and dangerous species of creatures was called "alien insects" by the Privy Council and the Palace of Wisdom. Of course, Sobek had also read the information on this.

The Palace of Wisdom believes that this should not be a naturally occurring creature, but a special biological weapon that can be commanded by a core strategic terminal or a powerful psychic.

Everything was logical up to this point. Who could guarantee that a powerful and dangerous psychic couldn't be an underage girl? Maybe the current leader of the Ring World Serpent was also like this.

However, Sobaek still felt that if the Spiritual Research Society had this style, the Star Knights must be harmless community volunteers.
