Chapter 835: Meeting to discuss expedition to alien alliance
The day after Ares came back, Lu Shao contacted Tang Xuanhao. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words hinted at the possibility of a war.

Three days later, Tang Xuanhao was invited to attend a high-level meeting.

Although Tang Ranran was too lazy to fight for power, as the currently recognized chief planter of the empire and the pioneer of new energy (energy stone), Tang Xuan's position in the empire was very important. Tang Xuan had a seat at most major and important meetings. In most cases, Tang Ranran was just an observer at the meetings, and this time was no exception.

However, she wanted to be a quiet audience, but someone called her to cue

There was a guy who suggested that Tang Xuan be made the head of the Empire's General Quartermaster Department.

Tang Ranran was frightened by this.

Being the head of the General Quartermaster Department sounds impressive, but in reality, he has a hard time. He is chased by the various military groups every day for supplies and military funds, and he has to go to the Finance Department every day to ask for military funds, and he also has to beg various suppliers to let them sell more goods. It is simply not a human job!

Let her be the head of the Quartermaster Department? Damn it, this is a military department that wants her to pay for it out of her own pocket!

The empire has an army of tens of billions, and she can't afford to support such a scale!

Tang Ranran said in a very literary way, "I'm too young, not strong enough, not experienced enough, and not qualified for the job." Translated, it means: Get out, I don't want to do this!

Tang Ranran was extremely determined and refused to do it.

The topic has passed.

Then, the topic shifted to the highlight of today's meeting, the crusade against the Detana alien alliance.

Yan Qian's whereabouts are unknown for the time being, but Lu Shao and Yuan Wei have returned. Only half of the Wood and Healing types have been rescued. Most of them are the weak ones, and they are all controlled by Chi Tu's special ability. They are still being "rescued"...

The relevant circumstances are now completely clear and have been proven. It was done by the leader of the Detana Alien Alliance.

The Detana Alien Alliance itself has many pirate groups, and many of their members are on the Empire's wanted list. This time, their leader has kidnapped many wood-type and healing-type members of the Empire. How can this be tolerated?
Of course I can't bear it!
If the Detana Alien Alliance is not destroyed, the Federation, the Zerg and other alien races will think that their Empire is a soft persimmon!

Having set this precedent, if they do nothing, others will simply think they are easy to bully. Will the safety of the Wood and Healing departments in their empire be guaranteed in the future?

The radicals were filled with indignation and kept clamoring to start a war, mobilizing a large army of starships to flatten the entire Detana Alien Alliance. With thunderous means, they wanted to let all races in the interstellar know that those who offend the empire will be punished no matter how far away they are!

But there are also conservatives. The conservatives mean that a large-scale war will cost too much military money, the distance is too far, the stronghold of the Detana Alien Alliance is uncertain, they are unfamiliar with the place, and the Free Alliance star field is full of aliens... Even if they win against all odds, it will not bring them much substantial benefit. It is better for them to form a team of high-level psychics, travel light, and kill the leaders of the Detana Alien Alliance.

Radicals and conservatives, arguing.

In the end, the radicals had the upper hand. Sending out a starship force was a display of the Empire's might, and it could be said to be equivalent to a hardcore military exercise. It had a certain deterrent effect on the alien races living in the Free Alliance star field, as well as the Zerg and the Federation. This was very necessary.

But there is a very realistic problem facing us, that is military expenditure.

War is a waste of money. To send a fleet of starships on an expedition is really a waste of military expenditures, hundreds of millions of dollars, and you won't even see a spark.

The representatives from the finance department all shook their heads and said, there is no money, really no money!

Representatives from the quartermaster department also said: there is insufficient food and supplies.

Some suggested fundraising, some suggested reducing the funding of other government departments, some suggested levying taxes... and some suggested using energy stones as a new energy source and bringing vegetable growing trays to make up for the shortage of food and medicine.

The suggestion of growing a vegetable plate is very targeted, and the standard is aimed at Tang Ranran.

Tang Ranran could only speak again, "It's not that easy to make a vegetable plate! I've been working overtime for 16 hours a day to catch up with the work! Instead of relying on me alone, you might as well rely on the elites you sent to learn it quickly..." Tang Ranran babble a lot, but the main idea is: Don't worry about me, I won't do it!

At the end of the meeting, the main theme was the dispatch of star fleets, but there was no solution to the issue of military expenses for the expedition.

That’s all for today. We’ll continue the meeting next time.

After the meeting ended and exiting the online mode, Tang Ranran had just rested for a few minutes when Chen Yongfeng called to say that the patient had arrived on the planet, completed the initial identity verification, and would be sent over now.

Tang Ranran replied with a "Sure."

Speaking of which, when Lu Shao and Yuan Wei came back, they brought back a group of people, but they were all under the control of Chi Tu.

It is completely different from the previous red mist. Even the black sparks were ineffective in the previous rescue methods. This is obviously a higher level of control.

The Empire has tried several tracking and control methods, and has tried to counter-track or lift the control, but all have failed.

Tang Ranran knew Yan Yijun, but she failed to track him down and was instead attacked and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

It is obvious that it is because of the power gap. Chi Tu's strength is too high, and there is no solution to his deep control yet.

Gu Siyao, who was busy growing the magical vine, went to the exclusive hospital where the patients were concentrated for expert consultation, but so far there has been no progress.

Look, Tang Ranran, who has something in common with the cure, has also been assigned a patient.

We should give it a try no matter what.

The patient sent to Su Jinggong was named Chen, an SS wood-type healing expert, and had some kind of relationship with Chen Yongfeng, so as soon as he arrived on the planet, Chen Yongfeng actively contacted Tang Ranran, got her reply, and sent him over as soon as possible.

When the people arrived, Tang Ranran took out her nine-layer tortoise shell and conducted a consultation in the special medical vehicle outside.

As a non-professional doctor, Tang Ranran's diagnosis process is to try this medicine, try that medicine...

I tried four potions that were modified from elixirs to remove negative states, but the control state was not removed.

Tang Ranran said helplessly that there was nothing she could do and she couldn't save him.

That night, the Tang Xuan assembly line was finished. When Tang Ranran logged into the smart brain, she saw many missed calls from Gu Siyao.

Looking back, the two had a conversation.

Gu Siyao said that as long as he was promoted to level 5S, he would be able to break the mental control of the leader of the alien alliance!
Therefore, Gu Siyao came to her for help.

Gu Siyao's magic vine is almost 90. According to his own speed, it will take another ten days or half a month.

Tang Ranran calculated that if she did it herself, it would take at most two days to complete.

As time goes by, the patients... If Chi Tu uses a long-distance "spiritual energy absorption method", they will all die, and the empire will suffer a great loss.

So, okay.
