Thousands of sparks

Chapter 153 Unknown celestial body
Three days after the return of the Imperial Royal First Guard Fleet, Central Teco received the general information on the El Salvador operation for the first time.

Due to the appalling content of the intelligence obtained, Lorraine and Schultz both made a decision that violated the principles of intelligence work at the same time.

At the same time, they asked other intelligence personnel who were developed to work in the Central Special Branch to stop all other work and verify the battle report from the First Guards Fleet at all costs.

The strength of the Central Special Branch is still not strong enough so far.The progress of intelligence work is definitely not something that happens overnight. Any intelligence agency that wants to succeed must first have a group of intelligence officers who are really willing to give their lives to the organization.

And these intelligence agents developed by Central Special Branch... even Schultz is not sure whether they are really loyal to the organization.The reason is also very simple-they have been developed for too short a time.

In the socio-political context of the empire, Dusandism had an appeal that no other political proposition could match.The detailed description between the four propositions directly reveals to readers a distinctive social form that has never appeared in human history.

It was a society without emperors, nobles, and privileged classes.All people are born equal and will not be discriminated against because of gender, skin color or religion.

A... The purpose of the ruler's existence is to unite and lead all people to work towards a better life, not to lie on top of people, tearing their flesh and blood to feed their own society.

Although such a vision sounds a bit too idealistic, but this vision alone is enough to attract a large group of people.

Most of them have seen it with their own eyes, and can understand the fact that "the suffering of the people comes from the royal family", and at the same time deeply sympathize with the suffering of the poor, highly educated people.

Others were victims of direct imperial oppression.There are some gaps between them and those highly educated intelligence officers, but their will to fight is more determined-as long as they can overthrow the royal family and let those nobles who ruined their families hang on the gas street lamps, they are willing to do anything .

There is some innate distrust between the two groups of intelligence agents.Highly educated intelligence officers think that these comrades from poor backgrounds are relatively low-level, and they have nothing but anger-they lack sufficient skills to integrate into the class of the object of the intelligence, and they have no ability to distinguish what the other party is. Whether it's just a joke or real information, I can't get close to places with information value by myself.

After all, whether it is the palace, the military department or the residence of the finance minister, these places will not easily allow a poor person to approach.

In other words, those "elite intelligence agents" agreed that these uneducated comrades were probably useless except to serve as helpers - they could only do bad things.

And the intelligence agents who came from poor backgrounds also have a lot of opinions on those elite comrades.

Opinions mainly focus on the style of work.As the Central Special Branch intelligence agents who are determined to overthrow the royal family and eliminate all nobles and privileged classes, they cannot believe that... those who are themselves privileged classes can become their reliable companions.

But no matter which side it is, after receiving direct orders from Lorraine and Schultz, they all tried their best to collect information through their own methods.With their joint efforts, pieces of intelligence puzzles gradually surfaced and were sent to the analysis room of the Central Special Branch.

The intelligence collection lasted for two full weeks, and Lorraine and Schultz finally came to a conclusion based on the many intelligences they had.

The former capital of the alliance, the core star of the sanctuary, El Salvador, disappeared, and its disappearance was directly related to the actions of the empire's first royal guard navy.

There are eight main pieces of information supporting this judgment, which come from the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Military Department, the Prime Minister's Office, the Finance Minister's Office, the editorial office of the Imperial Daily, the bragging testimony of the sailors in two taverns, and a report from a smuggling businessman.

In the palace, the 19-year-old His Majesty Alfred seemed to be in a good mood.He called six balls in succession at the palace, and drank to the point of gaffes in four of them.

The Imperial Army Department issued a deployment adjustment order, and all the Royal Guard Fleet and Task Force Fleet approaching the direction of the Alliance Sanctuary all pressed forward and directly put pressure on the direction of Tasbar.It seems that they have completely stopped worrying about the threat of the fleet from the sanctuary.

The Prime Minister's Office and the Finance Minister's Office have been in close communication recently. According to the Prime Minister's instructions, the Finance Minister has mobilized about 200 million pounds in cash to be paid to the "Alpha Department" of the mining complex.The money paid is "bonus" and "second installment payment".

The editorial staff of the Imperial Daily received direct orders from the administration to refrain from "reporting in any way, directly or indirectly, the results of the Empire's victories against the Alliance".This requirement obviously contradicts the behavior of the Empire Daily’s long-term reporting of the war situation and its long-running reports of its own victory.In order to meet the requirements of the management department, the editorial department of the Imperial Daily finally decided to reduce the publication scale from the original three pages and twelve pages to two pages and eight pages.

In the two taverns, four fights broke out between the sailors who came to drink and the army. The reason for the fight came from the ridicule of the sailors to the army soldiers. The enemies that haven’t been killed have been dealt with by us—the existence of the army is a waste of imperial funds, you should die quickly.”

In the end, the smugglers from the planet El Salvador, who was trying to go to the sanctuary, and the second largest planet, Mystar, gave a fundamental report.

The original planet in the orbit of El Salvador no longer exists, and the orbits of all the planets in the entire Mystar galaxy are all disordered.In the original orbit of Mystar, there is an unknown celestial body, it is blue in color, and there are a large number of meteorite fragments falling towards this celestial body in a spiral shape - the observer who observed this scene was blinded directly, Even the gold-plated viewing glass failed to protect his eyes.

"According to the smuggler's description..." Dusand was looking at the Central Special Branch's report in his office. In order to interpret the report, he specially invited astronomy professors from Newsail University to discuss it.And the result of the discussion... is dizzying.

"That unknown object obviously has a huge mass. According to our estimation...its mass is about 1.6 Newalls." The astronomy professors said after calculating for a while, "If such a celestial body suddenly appeared In the orbit of Mystar, this poor colony will be torn into pieces in an instant, and then dragged into the celestial body under the action of gravity, becoming a part of it."

The Empire obviously shouldn't have the ability to control a neutron star or white dwarf.This was Dusand's direct judgment, but he had a vague feeling that... Mystar's tragic experience might have something to do with the Empire's Alpha Project and the disappearing El Salvador.
