Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1114 Conspiracy Theory

"Uh, it seems like you guys aren't very patriotic?" Su Wei said with some confusion after hearing what Annie, Xiya and Yang Bo said.

"No, we are still quite patriotic, otherwise we wouldn't say these things." Yang Bo shrugged, and the other two women nodded.

Just at this time, Yang Bo discovered that the alliance was holding a press conference.

At the Alliance Military Department, the Alliance’s spokesperson held another press conference. Last time, the two men fled in embarrassment when asked by reporters.

It can be seen that a lot more security personnel have been added this time. The two spokespersons are right behind the security personnel, separating them from those damn reporters.

"Here, we have an extremely important thing to announce. Regarding the incident in which the pirate fleet on March Star attacked civilian transport ships, first of all, the three transport ships of the Roman Group and the personnel on them did not suffer any losses." The alliance spokesperson spoke first.

"Second, the Ninth Fleet has concluded its attack on pirates. The specific results are reported as follows."

"According to preliminary investigations, there are six pirate groups involved this time. The Skunk Pirates have one C-class battleship, two D-class battleships, and two E-class battleships. The Scythe Pirates have one C-class, one D-class, and four E-class battleships. The Violent Bear Pirates have one C-class, one D-class, and four E-class ships. The Blood Blade Pirates have one C-class, one D-class, and four E-class ships. The Steel Fang Pirates and the Magician Pirates have the same configuration. Six pirate groups, six C-class battleships, seven D-class battleships, and twenty-two E-class battleships."

“This is the largest scale in 200 years.”

"This fleet is called the Pirate Task Force. Someone has offered a huge reward for destroying the March Star's shipping lanes. It may be related to the development of March Star. As for the specific situation, we are still investigating."

"The Ninth Fleet's operation lasted a total of 42 hours. It destroyed or damaged one C-class battleship, two D-class battleships, and three E-class battleships of the Steel Fang Pirates. One E-class battleship escaped, and the captain escaped!"

"One C-class, one D-class, and three E-class ships of the Magician Pirates were destroyed or damaged. One E-class battleship escaped, and the leader of the Magician Pirates also escaped!"

"One C-class, one D-class, and two E-class ships of the Violent Bear Pirates were destroyed or damaged. Two E-class ships escaped, and the leader was captured."

"One C-class, one D-class, and two E-class ships of the Scythe Pirates were destroyed or damaged. Two E-class ships escaped!! The leader was captured."

"One C-class, two E-class, and one D-class ship of the Blood Blade Pirates were destroyed or damaged. Two E-class ships escaped, and the leader was captured!"

"One C-class, one D-class, and two E-class ships of the Skunk Pirates were destroyed or damaged. One D-class ship escaped, and the leader of the Skunk Pirates escaped!"

"A total of six C-class battleships, six D-class battleships, and seventeen E-class battleships were used to defeat the pirates."

"The leader of the Violent Bear Pirates was captured, the leader of the Scythe Pirates was captured, and the leader of the Blood Blade Pirates was captured."

"Other fleets of the alliance are pursuing the remaining pirates."

"The Ninth Fleet is cleaning up battlefield debris and observing space debris created by the war, and incorporating it into the navigation warning system."

Without waiting for the reporter to ask questions, the military spokesperson continued, "The military commends the performance of the Ninth Fleet. The Ninth Fleet performed its duties conscientiously, protected the safety of the waterway, protected the safety of the Alliance citizens, and dealt a strong blow to the pirates. The next step is for the military to formulate a continuous crackdown on pirates to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the Alliance citizens."

"And at the same time, salute to all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Fleet!" After saying this, the spokesman also gave a military salute!
"At the same time, this war is also an honor for our alliance military."

"This war also demonstrates the value of our alliance's military!"

"That is to crack down on all criminal acts that infringe upon the personal safety and property of the citizens of the Alliance!"

"The next step is for the Alliance military to continue to attack the Pirate Alliance!"

The reporters below were already impatient and waited until the military spokesman finished speaking Fenfen’s request before asking questions!

However, the Union Government spokesperson said: "The Union Parliament is discussing new defense regulations. The next step is for the Union to impose sanctions on any country or organization that supports pirates!"

"At the same time, the Alliance Parliament is considering granting a higher military rank to the commander of the Ninth Fleet!"

Seeing this, Su Wei asked in surprise: "What is the higher level of military rank?"

"It should be the marshal, right?" Yang Bo answered uncertainly when he heard Su Wei's question.

"Why do I feel like the parliament and the military want to get rid of us?" Xia said, shaking her head.

Anne nodded as well: "Is it possible to give him a higher-level official title and then transfer him?"

Yang Bo nodded: "It is very possible, but I feel that the parliament may want to stir up conflicts within the military!"

"Admiral Wang is more likely to serve as the actual fleet commander and also as an important official in the military!"

"It could be the Chief of Staff or Deputy Chief of Staff of the Alliance Military Department, or more likely the Vice Chairman of the Alliance Joint Chiefs of Staff!"

In addition to the actual commanders of several major fleets, the military also has a headquarters of the military.

There are many subdivisions within this department, but the most powerful one is the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is the highest military advisory body to the President and the Secretary of Defense. It consists of a chairman, vice chairman, and the chiefs of operations of the ground defense forces and the space fleet.

The purpose of this is to ensure that the command of the army always lies in Parliament!

"Wow, Sister Xue is so awesome!" Su Wei nodded when she heard Yang Bo say that!
Some people in the military also felt annoyed when they saw the parliamentary spokesman say this.

For a long time, the parliament has been interfering with the military, and many military officers were stuffed in by the parliament.

In addition, the parliament will also support the weaker factions within the military!
The commander of the Ninth Fleet was suppressed by the military, and now the parliament takes the opportunity to support him.

This is a normal operation!

Moreover, the government may also hold the military accountable. Six pirate groups formed a task force and openly came to the March Star's waterway to rob!
The military did not provide any early warning, which in itself was a dereliction of duty.

After the parliament spokesman finished speaking, he said, "That's all for today's press conference!"

"Sir, may I ask exactly how many prisoners were taken and how many were killed?"

"Sir, what shall we do with the prisoners?"

"Sir, may I ask what is the parliament's attitude towards the military's dereliction of duty?"

"Sir, the Ninth Fleet has not received any supplies for two years. Shouldn't the military come out to explain?" The reporters shouted loudly, but the two spokespersons left quickly!

After seeing the two spokespersons leave, these reporters started reporting on the scene!

"Everyone has seen it. Is this the attitude of the military and parliament?"

"They don't want to give us an explanation at all?"

“This is the government our alliance now has!”

"We the people have the right to know, but these politicians don't tell us what is really going on."

Yang Bo was not surprised at all by what the league's reporters said.

The Ninth Fleet's actions this time were considered extremely bad by the military!

But it is a good thing in the eyes of capital!
Especially the transportation industry and the insurance industry involved in this incident!

The alliance's insurance industry involves security and finance!

The Alliance Ministry of Justice subsequently announced on its official website that these captured pirates will be sent to March Star for trial, and the Alliance Ministry of Justice will dispatch a special investigation team to assist the judicial department of March Star in handling this incident!
At the same time, the Parliament of March Star also authorized the judicial department of March Star to set up a temporary special department to try the pirates!

In fact, the Alliance Justice Department is eager for March Star to take over this hot potato!

Because the Alliance Justice Department knows that the background of the Pirate Alliance is not simple, and the backgrounds behind these pirate groups are not simple either!
If this case is placed in the Union Ministry of Justice, it will encounter greater resistance!
All kinds of lobbyists, all kinds of lawyers.

Anyway, this incident happened in the March Star region, so there is nothing wrong with handing it over to the local judicial department of March Star for handling.

When Yang Bo saw this news, he knew that these pirates would definitely be well treated by Zhang Bozhen after arriving at March Star.

Although criminals in the alliance enjoy all kinds of human rights, don't forget that there are many ways to deal with these criminals.

For example, these criminals are detained in special rooms where there are other criminals.

When the time comes, you will be explained clearly and will be locked up in a single room to enjoy life!

If you're still stubborn, just lock you up in these rooms and let other criminals deal with you!
During this period, Yang Bo doesn't need to contact Zhang Bozhen or Wang Muxue.

Because things are already moving in a good direction, both sides have reached a tacit understanding!

Yang Bo’s guess was correct. Zhang Bozhen was going to give all these pirates a big meal this time!
Therefore, the crime rate on March Star will be higher during this period, and there will be more criminals in the prison!
Because these pirates are coming for Zhang Bozhen. Someone wants to disrupt the development of March Star and deprive Zhang Bozhen of control!

Zhang Bozhen will definitely not treat these pirates well.

"Yang Bo, this Li John is also amazing!"

"Our Empire's Viscount Bart, the Federation's General Li John, and Sister Xue are known as the three great war gods of the modern era!"

"Viscount Bart is known as the Sword of the Empire!"

"General John Lee is called a Union lunatic!"

"Sister Xue is known as the female war god of the alliance!" Su Wei said to Yang Bo while reading the reports online!

"This Li John is too crazy, I don't like him!" Yang Bo shook his head and said!

"He is too arrogant, but he is also really powerful. First, a mecha captured a battleship, and now one battleship has become three battleships, which have chased five pirate groups into a panic!" Xia nodded and said!

"Yes, but I feel that there is someone behind this John Li, and you can see from what is said online that John Li is very likely to be supported by the alliance!" Xia also nodded.

Yang Bo quickly looked at the discussions online and was shocked!

Because all kinds of conspiracy theories have appeared on the Internet!
Especially for John Lee, a C-class battleship can defeat the pirate fleet!
This is incredible.

Since it is unbelievable, there must be a conspiracy!
Conspiracy theory one: The Pirate Alliance secretly revealed the route of the Pirate Combined Fleet, with the aim of using John Lee to eliminate these disobedient pirate groups and support new pirate groups!
Conspiracy theory 2: John Lee has the support of the Alliance, because most of the warships used by the pirate group are made in the Empire, which makes the Alliance very dissatisfied!
Conspiracy theory three: John Lee is backed by the Empire because the Empire wants to sell more warships, otherwise how could John Lee obtain all the permissions for C-class battleships in just over twenty hours.

Of course, there are also various conspiracy theories. Some say that John Li colluded with other pirate groups in the Pirate Combined Fleet, and that there were conflicts among the pirate groups in the Pirate Combined Fleet!
Others say that John Li is a pirate himself, but he is using this method to whitewash his identity.

Yang Bo had to admire these netizens because every conspiracy theory seemed to make sense.

Every conspiracy theory has a large number of supporters, but also a large number of opponents.

More people discussed John Li, while relatively fewer people discussed Viscount Bart and Wang Muxue's Ninth Fleet.

Because the backgrounds of the last two are not simple!
And what is John Lee?
A few months ago, he was just a small shareholder of a company, with a net worth of only a few tens of billions!

His current net worth is almost hundreds of trillions!
The three C-class battleships are worth tens of trillions, and there is also income from live broadcasts!
And John Li will definitely gain a fortune when he returns to Karaya this time.

"Tsk tsk!!!" Yang Bo looked at these conspiracy theories and felt that those people in the Pirate Alliance might not know the true strength of John Li!
"Yang Bo, who do you think is right?" Su Wei asked as she watched Yang Bo reading the news.

"I think that both John Li and Viscount Bart are supported by your imperial emperor!" Yang Bo lied.

"Ah?" Su Wei and the other two were a little confused about what Yang Bo said.

"Look, Viscount Bart has the support of the emperor. Is this reasonable or not?" Yang Bo asked!
"This makes some sense. After all, the Brotherhood has been offering a bounty to Your Majesty for many years. But can Bart listen to Your Majesty?" Su Wei nodded and asked again in doubt.

"How could Bart not listen to your majesty?"

"The Brotherhood has offered a bounty of hundreds of billions for Bart's entire territory and himself. Bart must want to solve this problem. Now that the emperor of the empire has contacted Bart, how could Bart not do it?" Yang Bo asked!
"But what Li John said is a bit far-fetched?" Xia shook her head.

"What do you know? When Li Yuehan is isolated and helpless, if the Emperor of the Blue Water Empire supports Li Yuehan at this time, will Li Yuehan surrender to the Emperor of the Blue Water Empire?"

"The Emperor of the Blue Water Empire supporting John Lee is a three-pronged approach. First, the royal family has an external boost. Second, it can disperse the pressure of public opinion brought about by the Brotherhood incident. Third, it can also promote the replacement of the Pirate Alliance's warships!"

"Otherwise, where would John Lee have such a powerful intelligence system, and where did the operators on John Lee's warship come from?"

"Looking at the entire society, there are only a few places that can train warship operators. Moreover, they must be able to skillfully operate these energy cannons. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do!"

"To make these people absolutely loyal and not to reveal this secret, they can't be operators trained by our alliance or the federation!"

"It can only be the new aristocracy trained by the imperial royal family." Yang Bo didn't expect that his nonsense could cover it up!

"It seems to make sense. Your Majesty, there are indeed many benefits to supporting John Lee!" After listening to Yang Bo's analysis, Su Wei nodded in agreement!

"Hehe, am I right?" Yang Bo smiled!
The emperor of the Blue Water Empire could never have imagined that a pot would fall from the sky while he was at home!

"I think Yang Bo is right. It is very likely that the Empire's company sent people up there when it repaired the warship for John Lee last time!" Xia added in another move!

So the three women nodded!
Yang Bo chuckled in his heart and wanted to muddy the water.

The next day, Yang Bo went to Devon Star's personal laboratory again, and then sent a message to Zhang Bozhen in the name of Mr. Jiu: Mr. Zhang, I have fulfilled the mission!
Zhang Bozhen was also waiting for news from Mr. Jiu. When he saw the message, he quickly replied: Thank you very much for this time, sir. I wonder if there are any of your people among the pirate captives?

Mr. Jiu: I’m not sure yet, because my people are out of contact!
The reason why Yang Bo said this was that he wanted to wait for Wang Muxue to send the pirates back, then he would become invisible and release spiritual seeds to a few pirates, and then let Zhang Bozhen release them.

After all, we will have to rely on pirates to get warships in the future!
Zhang Bozhen: I'm sorry for the loss of your men. As soon as the prisoners arrive, I will send you the list of these people as soon as possible!

The reason why Zhang Bozheng said this is because the prisoners captured by the Ninth Fleet must have been isolated!

Mr. Jiu: Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang!

Zhang Bozhen: It should be me, thank you sir. If it weren’t for you, we at March Star would be in big trouble. Please feel free to let me know if you have any needs!

Mr. Jiu: I also want a battleship. Of course, I know that Master Zhang can’t come up with a new battleship for the time being, so let’s talk about it later!
Zhang Bozhen: Of course, after the first battleship is delivered, I will immediately order the second battleship!
Mr. Jiu: Okay, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has anything else to say?
Zhang Bozhen: I still need some wisdom potions. It’s not Roman Company’s fault that they colluded with the pirates, but they wanted to cause trouble in my March Star Region, and that’s their fault. So I will join forces with the insurance company to take action against Roman Company. I am ready to control the person in charge of Roman Company’s transportation team this time!

Mr. Jiu: Okay, deliver the stuff to this coordinate tomorrow!

Of course Yang Bo knew what Zhang Bozhen wanted the wisdom potion for, of course it was to establish connections!
The coordinates sent by Yang Bo are one nautical mile coordinate!

Zhang Bozhen: Thank you for your hard work, sir!
Mr. Jiu: Our cooperation is mutually beneficial!

After Yang Bo finished chatting with Zhang Bozheng in his personal laboratory on Devon Star, he came to the Cher spacecraft!
Disguise yourself as Bart and walk around in front of Bart's servants!
Then they came to the Fugui battleship!
Three C-class battleships are sailing in formation, and all three C-class battleships are unmanned.

"Hehe, the Pirate Alliance is having a lot of fun this time, and there's a huge quarrel inside!" Yang Bo knew from the spiritual seeds he released to the pirates that the Pirate Alliance was now in chaos.

Because the Pirates League Board of Directors will have to pay an astronomical amount of money this time.

Now we are arguing about who is responsible!

Because all the information and bounty missions are provided to the pirate group by the Pirate Alliance Council.

In the past, the Pirate Alliance Council provided information to the pirate groups, but charged for it without taking any responsibility!

Later, the leader of the Silver Moon Pirates made a big fuss and even received billions in compensation!

This allowed the other pirate groups to confront the Pirate Alliance Council and reach a new agreement!
That is shared profit and shared responsibility!

That is to say, if the Pirate Alliance Council provides wrong information, resulting in losses to the pirate group, the Pirate Alliance Council must pay compensation in proportion!

This time, the losses suffered by the Pirate Combined Fleet and the Pirate Task Force were too great, so great that it is unimaginable and has shaken the foundation of the Pirate Alliance!

Especially the Ninth Fleet almost destroyed six pirate groups. Three pirate group leaders were directly captured. I don’t know how many of the six C-class battleships are left now!
The value of the warships destroyed or damaged by the Ninth Fleet alone exceeds one hundred trillion. What will the Pirate Alliance Council use to compensate?
Since you don't want to pay compensation, you must be arguing about responsibility!
But the pirates definitely wouldn't agree to that. They had agreed to play a double act, so why did such an accident happen?
"When I return to Karaya State, I will be a local emperor!" Yang Bo looked at his three warships happily on the Fugui.
