The attendant beside him flipped through the information in his hand and immediately replied: "The Governor's Office held a press conference and publicly condemned the attack. Apart from that, there was no other response."
Hearing this, Mariana began to tap the golden pen in her hand gently: "No reaction? No reaction is also a reaction."
pop... pop... pop...
As the golden pen tapped regularly, Mariana muttered to herself, "At this moment, there are only three parties that can accomplish this: the Empire, the local forces in District 11, and Xinming."
"If it was done by the local forces in District 11, the suppressed Tendou Kikunojo would not hesitate to pull out the forces in District 11 who are causing trouble at this time to make an example of them and consolidate his position."
"Since he didn't do anything, does that mean he thinks the person who did this is not from District 11?"
After saying that, Marianna suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at the servant who was quietly waiting for orders.
"If it was done by Li Xingke's people..."
"The people in District 11 must be hiding something, and the things in the factory must be very important, so Li Xingke would directly take District 11 by force at this time!"
"Go investigate and see what the people from Xinming have done recently."
Watching the servant nod and leave, Marianna tapped the table with her golden pen again.
"Tendo Kikunosuke...what are you hiding?"
"What did Li Xingke discover from you?"
While Marianna was thinking, far away in the port of Yokohama, Li Xingke, dressed as Qiao Zhuang, was on a cargo ship, looking at a huge engine half a person's height in front of him.
“Is this what’s produced in that factory?”
Looking at this huge engine-shaped object, Li Xingke couldn't help but say.
"That's right." The black-haired man next to him said coldly: "The information is wrong. The factory does not produce giant arms, but this kind of engine."
Hearing this, Li Xingke chuckled, stretched out his hand and stroked the smooth surface of the engine, and whispered: "Then this intelligence error is really too coincidental, too good."
As mentioned before, the New Ming Federation has been following in the footsteps of the Holy Britannian Empire and researching KM humanoid combat weapons.
However, unlike the Empire which has already been put into experimentation and is only a little away from completion, the humanoid combat weapon codenamed Steel Skull of the New Ming Federation is still only on paper due to engine problems.
If this thing is really the engine of the KM humanoid combat weapon... then the last obstacle in front of Xinming has disappeared!
As long as Xinming can complete the modernization of its army faster than the Empire - then by then, not to mention District 11, even the Empire's homeland, those European Federations that only know how to hide in Europe, will all fall at the feet of the Xinming Federation!
Thinking of this, Li Xingke couldn't suppress the smile on his face any more.
At this moment, the guard at the side suddenly walked up, approached and whispered something in Li Xingke's ear.
"…He came to see me?"
Li Xing showed a surprised expression and looked at the guard.
After thinking for a while, Li Xingke said to the black-haired young man beside him: "Your name is Hei, right?"
After that, Li Xingke did not wait for the black-haired young man to answer, and continued: "Go inform Ningguang and ask her to transport this engine back to Xinming as quickly as possible."
Hei looked at the guy who directly called his president by his name with indifference, and said coldly: "I know."
Li Xingke didn't care about Hei's expression, he immediately turned around and hurried away with his guards.
A moment later, in the Xinming Embassy, Li Xingke, who had changed his clothes, walked into the reception room with a smile. He looked at the white-haired old man sitting with his back to him and said, "My friend, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? I would have been prepared to receive you in advance."
In response to Li Xingke's words, the people sitting in the reception room stood up and turned to look over.
——It’s Tendou Kikunosho!
Tendo Kikunosho, the governor of District 11, unexpectedly came forward at this time and paid a secret visit to Shinmei's general.
"General Li Xingke, you are too polite." Tian Tong Kikunojo shook his head and said, "I hope you won't blame me for coming to visit you without permission."
"how come."
Li Xingke smiled sincerely: "Aren't we friends? How could I blame my friends?"
"Friends?" Hearing Li Xingke's words, Tendo Kikunojo sneered in his heart.
What friends.
A few days ago, Li Xingke and Marianna worked together to suppress him, which started to cause him a lot of trouble.
If he had not decided to devote himself to the destiny at that time and deliberately gave up some of the interests of the fence-sitters to temporarily block the two men's subordinates, he would probably be busy with various problems now.
Thinking of this, looking at Li Xingke who was sitting opposite him, Tendo Kikunosuke said directly, knowing that he no longer had time to engage in useless probing with the other party.
"Sir, please take a look at what has happened in District 11 recently."
"Biological hazards, tsunamis, terrorist attacks... those imperialists who control District 11 are simply exploiting District 11's resources and don't care about the lives of the people in District 11 at all!"
"Don't you feel heartbroken when you see the people of Xinming being oppressed by the empire?"
Li Xingke, who did not expect Tendou Kikunosuke to say these words, changed his expression slightly and turned to look at his adjutant.
The adjutant understood and turned to the door, standing guard there himself.
At this time, Li Xingke turned around and continued to look at Tendou Kikunojo. The disguised expression on his face disappeared, and he said coldly: "What is the Governor-General talking about?"
"Isn't this the free world that you and the people of District 11 have been looking forward to?"
Li Xingke did not forget that when the imperial people established the government of District 11, Tendo Kikunosho put in a lot of effort, so he accumulated enough political capital to become the governor of District 11.
Hearing Li Xingke's mocking words, Tian Tong Kikunosuke said calmly: "Although I am the governor of District 11, I always miss the democratic days."
"In fact, the reason I became the Governor General was just to protect the interests of the people in District 11 from being harmed by the Empire!"
At this point, Tendou Kikunosuke showed a look of deep sorrow: "How can I be healthy when I am with these insects!"
"So, ever since the Dongying Province became District 11, I've been missing the past almost every moment - being Xinming's dog is my greatest honor!"
Hearing Tendou Kikunosho's shameless words, even Li Xingke laughed angrily.
"Haha... Really? Then the Governor is truly a great hero."
"You flatter me."
Tendo Kikunosuke said modestly.
Seeing that the other party was actually climbing up the pole, Li Xingke sneered.
What people, what Xinming? It was obvious that this guy was only planning to switch to Xinming because his power was threatened, hoping to use Ningguang's power to protect himself...
But thinking of this, Li Xingke suddenly frowned.
"No...Tendo Kikunosuke couldn't possibly know that Ningguang is from Xinming."
"In this case, in everyone's opinion, Xinming's control over District 11 should be extremely limited."
"Even if he switched to Xinming, without Ningguang's power, the political resources that Tendou Kikunojo obtained would not be enough to stop the empire's suppression of him."
"Even by switching to Xinming, he will lose the support of many cowardly fence-sitters, and will only fall faster... unless he intends to borrow the legitimate power of the Empire in District 11 instead of Xinming."
"It's the military power that is within reach of Xinming!"
Thinking of this, Li Xingke's pupils shrank slightly, the expression on his face suddenly became much friendlier, and the words in his mouth also turned 180 degrees, and he stiffly praised Tendo Kikunosho.
"That's a compliment."
"It is because of heroes like the Governor who can distinguish right from wrong that District 11 can be so prosperous, isn't it?"
Then, the two of them chatted with each other for a few more sentences. Facing all kinds of indirect questions from Tendo Kikunosho, Li Xingke just didn't take the initiative, didn't refuse, and didn't take responsibility.
Li Xingke neither actively expressed his support for Tendou Kikunosho, nor did he refuse Tendou Kikunosho's offer to help District 11 when necessary, nor would he provide any guarantees.
Faced with Li Xingke's performance, Tendo Kikunosuke had no choice but to leave the Xinming embassy.
"General, is this okay?"
The adjutant came closer and said, "Just now, if we just gave him a little support, we could win him over, right?"
"Support?" Li Xingke sneered: "Ah, of course I will support him. I will provide all support except practical help."
“But that’s all.”
"Since we have already supported Ningguang, there is no need to engage in direct conflict with the Empire over this guy... We just need to wait for Ningguang to replace Tendou Kikunojo."
"Besides, Tendou Kikunosuke can betray us the first time, betray the empire the second time, and can betray anyone the third time... There is no need for us to keep such a person!"
"The only purpose of his existence is to help Ningguang ascend to power and cause trouble for the empire."
After that, Li Xingke looked at his adjutant and said, "However, it is indeed necessary to give Tendou Kikunojo a push."
“Go tell Ningguang to give the previous photos to Marianna VI Brittanya to gain her trust.”
Looking at the adjutant leaving, Li Xingke smiled.
"I want to see if a cornered rabbit can bite an Imperial man hard."
Chapter 20 Titans Attack!
“It’s not enough.”
Looking at Tendou Kikunosho leaving the embassy, Mo Ren began to think silently.
Although Tendou Kikunosuke is currently being attacked by both Shinming and the Holy Britannian Empire, and his subordinates are also turning to Ningguang, he seems to be in a desperate situation, but in fact, for him, it is far from the point where he has to fight desperately.
After all, Tendo Kikunosuke now has the Titan card.
Relying on the trump card of Titan, time is now on the side of Tendo Kikunosuke.
The longer he accumulates, the more Titan mechas he will have, and the stronger Tendou Kikunosuke's power will become.
Under this premise, as long as Tendo Kikunosuke chooses to use power and money to buy time, he will be the winner in the end.
After all, Tendou Kikunosuke was willing to continuously offer enough benefits, so even Marianna and Ningguang would not be able to take down Tendou Kikunosuke, the governor of District 11, in a short period of time.
unless……
"Unless Marianna directly conquers District 11 again with force, and directly puts District 11 under military control, she will not give Tendou Kikunosho any chance to develop."
Thinking of this, Moren looked towards the empire's embassy district thoughtfully.
If Marianna is to be pushed to impose martial law on District 11, that photo alone will not be sufficient evidence.
After all, just as Li Xingke thought before, even if he has ulterior motives, Tendo Kikunosuke is still a member of the empire at the end of the day.
As a member of the Empire, it is not impossible that Tendo Kikunosuke could obtain some special information, so it is not impossible that he decided to start researching KM.
In this case, Marianna and the Empire would only think that Tendo Kikunosuke was unaware of the difficulty of KM research and foolishly and futilely invested funds and resources into a bottomless pit. It was impossible for them to believe that Tendo Kikunosuke had already developed a humanoid war machine and was secretly mass-producing it.
...unless the engine obtained by Li Xingke is given to Marianna, allowing Marianna to discover the difference between the Titan in Tendo Kikunosuke's hand and the MK, and thus learn that the Titan has begun mass production.
But this is impossible.
After all, Mo Ren, who had memories of the future, knew very well that the Steel Skull in Xinming's hand was only about to be completed with the engine, so Mo Ren deliberately guided Xinming to attack the engine manufacturing factory.
In this situation, it is impossible for Li Xingke, who has obtained the Titan engine, to hand over the engine.
"...If that's the case, then we can only try other methods."
Moren whispered, "We need to find a way to make Titan expose himself and force Mariana to take action."
"Then who should be the most suitable person to take action so as not to arouse the Lord God's suspicion in the future..."
Thinking of this, Mo Ren thought for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Come to think of it, I do have a foreshadowing in Yokohama that has been idle."
"…Rita, it's her turn to appear."
-------------------------------
"Isn't Muliangta Himeko back yet?"
The ash-blonde-haired girl sighed silently.
——It was the second Valkyrie created, Rita Rossweisse.
At this time, Rita, wearing a large windbreaker to cover the Valkyrie armor underneath her body, was on an unmanned rooftop of a certain building, monitoring a building in the distance with the name of the National Institute of Ecology.
This is the eighth day that Rita has been monitoring the building.
Rita, who had just broken through the Quantum Sea and rushed to Tokyo according to Bishop Otto's orders, thought that she would face a dangerous battle without backup and supplies.
But what Rita didn't expect was that when she just arrived in Tokyo and hadn't had time to carefully investigate the situation in Tokyo, she witnessed a battle in the sky that seemed to be between Herrschers.
He also witnessed the attack of his own warships, and was later affected by the tsunami caused by the attack of his own warships and was forced to evacuate from Tokyo.
Although later, according to Bishop Otto's contact, Bishop Otto had figured out the situation in Tokyo and arranged a new dormant mission for Rita, waiting for the return of Himeko Murata.
But just like the previous accident, there was also an accident in this mission.
