interstellar fairy tale

In July 60.00 of the Milky Way Calendar, Shang Ping devoted himself to the reorganization of the Deco galaxy fleet all day long. The energy supply and personnel requirements of the huge fleet were enough to make the inexperienced new lord feel overwhelmed.Clone soldiers from Sesia continue to arrive, and the fleet is still [-]% full, not to mention the huge gap in the upper-level command personnel.The number of officers transferred by the emperor to Shangping is limited. The Deco galaxy has experienced previous rebellions. Except for the completely deserted main star, the permanent population of other planets is basically negligible. Conscription is an impossible thing.It couldn't be more appropriate to describe the current situation of the new lord as a clever woman can't cook without rice.

With Sid?The imperial officers headed by Major Hall also frowned and had nothing to do.No matter how tempting Shang Ping's promise was, they still had reservations about the new lord's order. In the final analysis, there was only one reason that forced these officers to completely surrender to Shang Ping, and that was power.

Shang Ping is the new lord of Deke and the quasi-imperial concubine of the empire. He will have the power that countless imperial nobles can only dream of.

If Shang Ping is willing, he can ask the emperor to send more soldiers. In the eyes of Major Sid and others, this is the best solution.Confusingly, Shang Ping didn't intend to do this.If you are familiar with his character, it will be easy to find that, to a certain extent, Shang Ping is preventing the imperial soldiers from infiltrating the fleet of the Deco galaxy. "Does the lord plan to build an independent fleet?"

This kind of speculation is like a fantasy, no one can go against the emperor's will, and the conspirators who attempt to betray the emperor are already sleeping in the abyss of death.

"Don't be joking, the lord is the quasi-imperial concubine!"

"Perhaps the lord has other plans."

The conversation ends here, and only so far.

It is impossible for these imperial officers who swore allegiance to Shangping to use the eyes of conspirators to speculate on His Majesty's partner, even if they just think about it, it is a terrible thing.But the predicament of the Deco Galaxy Fleet is also an indisputable fact.

Finally, at the end of July, Shang Ping swept away the haze of many days and summoned three newly appointed commanders, namely Sid?Major Hall, Major Bomi, and Chad?Major Mace.Different from Sid?Major Hall has a typical military appearance, Major Bomi is more like an academic scholar, and Major Chad is an out-and-out handsome man, of course, if his blue skin is ignored.

First time seeing Chad, born in the early days of the Empire Conqueror?Shang Ping was stunned for a while when he was Major Mace.Chad finally gave Shang Ping the feeling of "an alien in front of him".The attendants were very wary of Shang Ping's sudden interest, and the new imperial concubine had a strong interest in people other than His Majesty. No matter what kind of interest, it was a very troublesome thing.For that, Chad?Major Mace was almost knocked unconscious by the attendant and washed out all his memories, and then he was thrown on the spaceship sent back to his home planet.And if this terrible plot works, Chad?Major Mace will end his military career forever, but only because of the ignorance of the new princess.

Of course, Shang Ping cannot be blamed for this. After all, the Muse galaxy is a galaxy built by the descendants of humans on Earth, and the race that ruled the Golden Empire is mainly light-colored and hair-colored.It's like people in the earth age suddenly saw a prehistoric dinosaur swaggering in front of them, it is impossible not to be curious.Shang Ping has mastered the measure of curiosity very well, is Chad?One of the reasons why Major Mays is so far unharmed.

"My lord, good day!"

"Good day, please sit down. The three of you are called here because you have a plan, and you need the assistance of the three of you to carry it out."

The three majors have firm eyes, straight backs, military caps on their forearms, white gloves, and shiny black military boots. These are three standard imperial soldiers, and they are also undeniably heroic men.

but……

Shang Ping glanced at Chad?Major Mace's blue face paused for two seconds, and he still felt a little strange...

Putting aside weird thoughts, Shang Ping turned on the virtual light screen and showed a plan in front of the three majors.In an instant, there was no sound in the office.

Shang Ping didn't make a sound, until the three majors finished reading the whole plan, their eyes widened stiffly, then they rubbed their fingers, raised one eyebrow with a smile, "How?"

Sid?Major Hall made a difficult voice: "My lord, are you sure?"

"Yes." Shang Ping leaned back on the chair in a leisurely manner, but no one would doubt his determination, "It was just a plan before, but now, it's an order."

"But... robbery?" Major Bomi said in a hesitant tone: "And it is a robbery that does not conceal its identity. Even if the target of the robbery is space pirates, is there some..."

"Major, in extraordinary times, use extraordinary means." Shang Ping clasped his fingers and looked at Chad with a smile?Major Mace, "Major Mace, what's your opinion?"

"A soldier's duty is to obey orders!"

Chad?Major Mace answered sonorously, Sid?Major Hall and Major Bomi frowned at the same time.Is this guy blatantly flattering the new concubine?

"I like this answer." Shang Ping put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "I have leaders, but I don't have people. I have warships, but I lack soldiers! My time is limited, and I want to To achieve my goal in the shortest possible time! Robbery is the fastest and easiest way! What's more, what I want to rob is not the star leaders and citizens of the empire, but space pirates! This will also become the third A bit of military exploits!"

The three majors stood up immediately and replied in unison: "Yes!"

"What's more, besides people, there are many other things that can be robbed. 'Reasonable' robbery is also a promising career."

Looking at the faces of the three majors who changed color instantly, Shang Ping smiled meaningfully.

Just when Shang Ping planned to lead the Deco galaxy fleet to carry out a great robbery, the capital of the Golden Empire was experiencing a political storm.

Solan Edrich suddenly issued a decree on July 29th to withdraw the tax-free rights of imperial nobles promulgated by Heine III. As soon as this decree came out, all the old-fashioned nobles of the empire were in an uproar. The old-fashioned aristocrats who lived in luxury around China never paid a penny of taxes to the empire in the era of Heine III.So much so that most of them have forgotten that they still have to pay taxes to the empire.They own countless manors, hunting grounds, mines, and rich leaders, and they are still praying to the emperor for more wealth and power.They know best how to turn intangible power into tangible wealth, and separate this wealth from the empire, not contributing even a single gold coin to the empire's finances.

As far as the current empire is concerned, it is harmless to support such moths, but Solan Edrich is obviously very tired of these old-fashioned nobles who have nothing to do and can only compete for power in the court. These shameless people are trying to treat Hein The third king begged Soran II with the same attitude. From the very beginning, they made a wrong calculation.

"...I can't agree with the existence of this decadent way of life that can destroy people's will. What the imperial fleet protects is not these incompetent people who lie on gems and drink wine all day long. If you enjoy the wealth of the empire, you should pay the corresponding The price! The tax-free right is promulgated by the emperor, and it can naturally be taken back! If you can’t contribute to the country, then these gems, manors, hunting grounds, antiques, and fine wines should belong to those who are really capable of obtaining them!”

Solan Aldrich's words were harsh, but he saved some dignity for the nobles after all.As a dictator standing at the top of the imperial pyramid, Soran II did not think that those who indulged in luxurious life were his enemies, and it was impossible to implement absurd decrees that treated everyone equally. I can ask for it!

Almost all the old-fashioned aristocrats were attacked, but there were no people who openly resisted the emperor's decree.Knowing the current affairs is already a rule of survival that goes deep into the bone marrow.Soran Aldrich has become so strong that he is not afraid of anyone's provocation. He firmly controls the huge imperial fleet, and most of the nobles' property is guaranteed. They just need to pay taxes and still live as before. , only a very small number of stubborn guys were deprived of all their properties, and the only thing they could do was to vent their resentment and hatred under alcohol anesthesia.

This is just the beginning.

Soran Edrich's decrees will never stop here. In the next few months, the cabinet headed by the Prime Minister of the Empire, Earl Reichardt, has been discussing the emperor's decrees one after another, and for these decrees Whether it is appropriate to implement the dispute is red-faced, and of course, no matter how fierce the debate is, the emperor's decree is stamped with all the seals of the cabinet and promulgated for implementation.

"Emperor is power."

However, Earl Reichardt was still worried that the matter would not end here. Did the calm on the surface herald the arrival of a bigger storm?The young Emperor His Majesty never seemed to like to play cards according to common sense, just like the imperial concubine he chose.

For the first time, the prime minister who has gone through three dynasties feels confused.

The Prime Minister's confusion was only short-lived. Seeing the Minister of Finance showing his colleagues a tax figure that was enough to satisfy him, Earl Reichardt had a strange feeling when he thought that the Minister of Finance was also from an old-fashioned nobleman.

"Count Treusini, have you ever heard a word?"

"?"

"The wool comes from the sheep."

Leaving behind the stiff finance minister, Earl Reichardt left abruptly, and his mood improved a lot.

Soran Edrich leaned against the window, the communicator on the table emitted bursts of light wave frequencies, waved his hand to let the attendant exit, and after closing the door, he turned on the communicator, and the virtual image of the black-haired boy appeared on his before.

The silver-haired emperor seemed to be in a good mood, resting his chin with one hand, the moonlight lingered around his body through the crystal glass, adding a cool radiance to the long silver hair.The blue eyes looked at the image of the black-haired boy, and the pale lips curled up, "Robbery?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, in a sense, this is not a simple robbery, but a siege of space pirates."

"This is the job of the Imperial Frontier Patrol."

Soran Aldrich didn't seem to agree with Shang Ping's plan, but he didn't object either, instead, he was reluctant to let go, as if he deliberately wanted to cause some trouble for his concubine.

Shang Ping was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Soran Edrich's face, and he was slightly distracted by the beauty under the moonlight. This kind of suddenly flattering the emperor, Soran Edrich smiled softly, and traced Shang Ping gently with his fingers. Flat lips, whispered: "Do you know what I want to do now?"

Shang Ping still didn't seem to have recovered, and shook his head instinctively.

Solan Edrich propped up the table with one hand, stood up, turned his head slightly, leaned towards Shang Ping's virtual image, and said as if sticking to his ear: "I want to kiss you."

"His Majesty……"

"What to do, I regret letting you go to Deco. Or, if you kiss me now, I will promise you?"

Shang Ping didn't know how to answer, as if any answer would put him in a predicament.

In the end, Soran Aldrich let him go and agreed to Shang Ping's plan, provided that he did what he could, and that enough was enough.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe in my ability?"

"I believe in you." Soran Edrich paused for a moment, then continued: "However, I am also worried about you."

"..."

"So, don't worry me."

"kindness."

After getting what he wanted and ending the call, Shang Ping turned off the communicator, patted his cheeks with both hands, lowered his head, and put it on the cold table, his ears became redder and redder uncontrollably.

What to do... It seems that I can't hold it anymore...
