Pirate Nebula——Headquarters of Yinglong Pirate Group.
In a room with a bit of ancient Chinese Han and Tang style, Lei Hengbang put the teacup in his hand on the rosewood table with a bang.
At this time, the announcement from the Kabasi Empire was being broadcast on the holographic TV.
In the three-dimensional image of the announcement, a T-shaped private luxury spacecraft was directly pierced by a huge and dazzling laser beam, which then caused its super-light engine to explode and turn into a dazzling flame. After a while, it completely disappeared into the cold air. In the dark universe.
Lei Hengbang clearly saw the number of the small spacecraft, ZLPBD---518.
A happy smile appeared on his face and he said: "Zhang Lian, I didn't expect you to be finished like this! Haha."
With a "click" sound, the door was pushed open, and a young man walked in, it was his eldest son Lei Tiandu.
"Father, what makes you so happy?" Lei Tiandu asked.
"That old guy Zhang Lian was killed by the battleship of the Kabasi Empire as a terrorist. It was really fun!" Lei Hengbang picked up the teacup on the rosewood table, took a sip of strong tea with a "sizzle", and said happily .
Lei Tiandu looked at the holographic TV for a while, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Father, can we take over the United Front Work Department now? I heard that Zhang Lian's only son, Zhang Gao, is not a good person. He has no skills and can only squander his goods on women. The United Front will definitely be completely ruined in his hands."
"Huh, you're not much better, and you still have the nerve to criticize others!" Lei Hengbang scolded his son, and then said: "It's time to make some plans!
If that brat Zhang Gao is also dead, their Zhang family's direct descendants will be extinct, and it will be much easier for us to take down the United Front Department.
The United Front Department's funds account for 40% of the funding sources of our Yinglong Pirate Group, and have always been controlled by the Zhang family. That's why that old bastard Zhang Lian dares to be domineering at the headquarters, and does not take me as the leader of the group seriously.
By the way, you have to bring me the captain's guard. If we want to gradually take back power from the other eight giants, we need force to deter them, otherwise those people will not obediently hand over the power in their hands. "
Lei Tiandu said proudly: "Father, don't worry, our main battleships have increased to 150, and there are 130,000 ordinary soldiers. I am ordering the Ghost Pirates to go to other galaxies to rob. When we have enough funds, we can continue to expand the number of captains." The size of the Guard.”
Li Zifeng, the intelligence chief of the Yinglong Pirate Group, was also watching the Kabasi Empire's announcement at his home. When he discovered that the so-called terrorist who was killed was Zhang Lian, his heart beat wildly.
"It must be a conspiracy!" Li Zifeng's many years of intelligence experience gave him this thought in an instant.
"It was probably Lei Hengbang's doing." Li Zifeng's second thought.
Nine giants held a meeting. At the meeting, Zhang Lian and Lei Hengbang had a fierce conflict. Then Zhang Lian was inexplicably killed by the Kabasi Empire army as a terrorist. This was too coincidental.
Li Zifeng controls the intelligence bureau, and some news from his subordinates indicates that Lei Hengbang is secretly expanding his regiment leader's guard.
"Lei Hengbang, you have crossed the line!" Li Zifeng said to himself in a deep voice.
Shi Mo, the Director of History, sighed when he saw the report on the Kabasi Empire, and said: "One general's achievements lead to the death of thousands."
Based on the records of emperors, generals and ministers in history, he determined that Zhang Lian's death was closely related to Lei Hengbang.
Dark Dragon Director Han Li is actually a die-hard supporter of Lei Hengbang. His Dark Dragon Bureau was originally weak, but Lei Hengbang relied on his full support as the leader to expand the Dark Dragon Society to all countries in the universe. The Dark Dragon Society is now prosperous and powerful. The Dark Dragon Society is also an important chess piece that restricts the United Front.
After seeing the announcement from the Kabasi Empire, Han Li concluded that Zhang Lian was unlucky and was accidentally attacked by the Kabasi Empire army.
Justice Chief Tian Heng and Public Security Chief He Tiezhou are both within the Yinglong Pirate Group, and their attitudes are unclear. They don't care about the disputes of other giants, they just want to guard their own one-third of an acre of land with peace of mind.
Deputy leader Qi Mu is completely neutral. He is a decent man, and his family is relatively low-key. He has been running the Chiyou fleet conscientiously. Other giants have placed some cronies in Chi You's fleet, but Qi Mu doesn't care. He is a breath of fresh air in the Yinglong Pirate Group. It can also be said that he is a real soldier who truly considers the interests of the entire Yinglong Pirate Group.
"Mr. Shi, Director Zhang Lian passed away suddenly. How do you think our Propaganda Bureau should report the cause of his death?" He Yiting connected with Shi Mo via video.
Shi Mo is the Director of History, and controls the education system and scientific research system of the Yinglong Pirate Group. He is relatively knowledgeable and older than the other eight giants. Out of respect, He Yiting usually calls him Mr. Shi.
The History Bureau and the Propaganda Bureau are both people who deal with culture, and they usually have a relatively good relationship.
"Hey, Yi Ting! There were 9 of us in a meeting that day. You also know the situation at that time. Zhang Lian passed away suddenly. I was very sad!
The nine of us must unite, otherwise the Yinglong Pirate Group will have no future!
I never expected him to be the leader. . . . . forget it. I'm done here!
Although Zhang Lian is very domineering, after he took office, the funds raised by the United Front more than doubled.
He has made great contributions to our Yinglong Pirate Group.
I think your Publicity Bureau should report Director Zhang Lian’s achievements in a big way. . . . "
He Mo spoke for a long time.
After Yiting hung up with him, her face was calm, but she understood He Mo's attitude in her heart.
As the director of publicity, she would communicate with the other Big 8 in advance when promoting major events, and now she fully understands everyone's different attitudes.
At this time, He Yiting can confirm that the Intelligence Bureau, the History Bureau, and her Propaganda Bureau will all regard Lei Hengbang as the murderer of Zhang Lian's death. With the United Front Bureau bewitched by Tong Hao, there are four giants on her side.
A few days later, the nine giants of the Yinglong Pirate Group met again. They also congratulated and accepted Zhang Gao as the director of the United Front Bureau, and at the same time commemorated Zhang Lian's death.
It was impossible for Zhang Gao to come to the headquarters of the Yinglong Pirates. One was because he didn't have time, and the other was that after being bewitched by Tong Hao, he also suspected that the headquarters of the Yinglong Pirates had murdered Zhang Lian.
There is a virtual community in the Universe Holographic Network called Yinglong’s Home. It is a place for communication and leisure among the members of the Yinglong Pirate Group.
The Yinglong Pirate Group has a population of more than 2 billion and is widely distributed in various bases in the Pirate Nebula and secret corners of other galaxies in the universe. Although the Yinglong Pirates Group is a pirate group, due to its special origin, its internal management and composition structure are very similar to that of a small country.
Since the bases of the Yinglong Pirate Group are small in size and very far away from each other, in order to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between these internal personnel, such a secret place - Yinglong's House - was established on the Internet.
After everyone's souls are connected to the holographic network, Yinglong's House is equivalent to the network country of the Yinglong Pirate Group.
In the past two days, the Publicity Bureau of the Yinglong Pirates Group has been vigorously promoting Zhang Lian's achievements, attracting many members of the Yinglong community to discuss and praise Zhang Lian.
Pirate A: Director Zhang is really our great hero! He raised so much money for us and was the best among the previous directors of the United Front Bureau. It is a pity that Tian Ji Yingcai allowed him to pass away early.
Pirate B: Good people don’t live long! Look, those of us who have to go out to rob every day are fine, but Director Zhang, the director sitting in the office, was killed with a battleship. It would be better if Director Zhang stayed in the office and didn't go out.
Pirate C looked mysterious and whispered: Pirate B is wrong. If someone targets you, you won’t be safe even if you hide under the covers, and you won’t live long!
Pirate D immediately became interested and asked: Brother Pirate C, what's going on? There is something in your words, say it quickly, say it quickly, or I will beat you up.
Pirate C pretended to be scared and reluctantly lowered his voice and said: Haven't you heard? During a meeting a few days ago, Director Zhang Lian had a big quarrel with our leader Lei Hengbang, and hurriedly left the headquarters of the Yinglong Pirate Group. Then he was suddenly killed by a battleship in the Kabasi Empire.
Pirate Wu came to the rescue and said: Pirate C, you mean that Captain Lei Hengbang borrowed the sword to kill people and got rid of Director Zhang Lian!
Pirate C yelled angrily: Damn Pirate E, don’t talk nonsense and frame me up, I didn’t say that!
At this time, a circle of gossip listeners had already gathered around them. After hearing Pirate Wu's words, they had expressions on their faces that we all understand.
In any era, in any society, in any place, gossip and gossip are the easiest to spread.
In the Yinglong House virtual community in the Universe Holographic Network, the private chatting content of this small group of ordinary people was quickly spread and used by interested people.
Soon, various distortions and information were intertwined throughout the Yinglong House and spread over a large area.
After a few days, the hot search rankings in the Yinglongzhijia community became:
1. Why are Director Zhang Lian and Captain Lei Hengbang at odds with each other?
2. At the last high-level meeting, Zhang Lian and Lei Hengbang completely broke up.
3. Analysis of suspected causes of death of Director Zhang Lian.
4. The size of Commander Lei Hengbang’s Guards is suspected to have increased significantly.
5. Lei Hengbang’s seventh son violently beat his husband in order to possess a young woman.
6. We want to seek justice for Director Zhang Lian from the Kabasi Empire.
. . . . . . .
In short, the top 10 hot searches are all about information related to Zhang Lian and Lei Hengbang, as well as unfavorable reports about Lei Hengbang's family.
In particular, the article "Analysis of Suspicious Causes of Zhang Lian's Death" directly raised two heart-breaking questions:
First: Who leaked Director Zhang Lian’s spaceship route?
Second: Does anyone want to kill Director Zhang Lian with a borrowed knife?
A lot of people left comments below this article.
The most liked message was a message with only a simple lightning bolt symbol, with 100 million likes.
Another message stated that the matter was obvious. Everyone knew who killed Director Zhang Lian. This message has 90 million likes.
There are various other messy messages, all of which imply that the group leader Lei Hengbang killed Zhang Lian
Just when the nine giants of the Yinglong Pirate Group were meeting, suddenly a hot search quickly reached the top - "We petition the meeting of the nine giants: demanding revenge on the Kabasi Empire to avenge Director Zhang Lian."
This article was like a battle cry and quickly spread wildly in the Yinglongzhijia community.
The general public, who had always been suspicious of Zhang Lian's death, immediately found an outlet to vent their emotions and went to the meeting of the nine giants to petition and avenge Zhang Lian.
Although everyone suspected that Lei Hengbang killed Zhang Lian, until there was no evidence, everyone still felt a little lucky and did not want their leader to really kill their director Zhang Lian.
If the petition is approved by the nine giants headed by Lei Hengbang, it will naturally prove that Lei Hengbang is innocent and did not collude with the Kabasi Empire to kill Zhang Lian.
Lei Tian has been busy planning how to get rid of Zhang Gao in order to take over the United Front these days, and has no time to enter the Yinglong House community.
He happened to have some free time today, so he came into Yinglong's House to see how Zhang Lian was finished and what everyone in the community thought of him.
Normally, Lei Tian would not enter the Yinglong House community. He considered himself the next leader of the Ying Pirate Group and felt that going to a low-end community in the holographic network like Yinglong House would lose his identity.
As soon as he entered the community, Lei Tiandu clicked on the hot search rankings of Yinglong House and was shocked when he saw it.
In fact, all of this was Lan Yiting's intentional guidance. The operation and management of Yinglong's Home Community belongs to the Propaganda Bureau, and it is Lan Yiting's territory. After Lan Yiting discussed with Tong Hao, she began to create rumors in Yinglong community to slander Lei Hengbang and his family.
There are more than 10 million people living inside the meteorite at the headquarters of the Yinglong Pirate Group. It is equivalent to a super-large city on Earth, with various departments and occupations.
Within the Yinglong Pirate Group, only the armed forces will drive warships to other galaxies to participate in robbery activities. Most of the others are just like ordinary people living on living planets, engaged in various common jobs.
In the meteorite at the headquarters of the Yinglong Pirates Group, a large number of ordinary people began to gather towards the central giant square, prompted by hot searches in the Yinglong House community. This is the center of power at the headquarters of the Yinglong Pirate Group, and it is also where the nine giants meet. They are going to the central giant square to petition.
The atmosphere in the large conference room of the Yinglong Pirate Group was tense.
Zhang Gao's holographic image was clearly visible and he shouted: "My father cannot be killed by the Kabasi Empire in vain. Our Yinglong pirate group wants to avenge my father. I ask Chi You's fleet to attack a living planet in the Kabasi Empire. Buried with my father.”
"Nonsense! Zhang Gao, you have just taken over the United Front, and it is your first time to attend the meeting of the nine giants. You don't understand the situation at all! The Kabasi Empire is not something we, the Yinglong Pirates, can afford to offend." Lei Hengbang scolded Zhang Gao.
Zhang Gao is not Zhang Lian. Lei Hengbang was not polite to him at all and bullied him for being young. At the same time, Zhang Gao was considered his junior.
Seeing that Lei Hengbang and Zhang Gao were full of quarrels, Han Li tried to persuade him: "Director Zhang Gao, the strength of our Yinglong pirate group is indeed far behind the Kabasi Empire. If we directly send a fleet to attack their life planet, the consequences will be disastrous. Director Zhang Gao, you He is also a senior member of the Yinglong Pirate Group, and he doesn’t want the Yinglong Pirate Group to suffer disaster!”
The other major giants did not speak.
Li Zifeng and Shi Mo looked at Lei Hengbang expressionlessly and saw that he and his horseman Han Li rejected Zhang Gao's proposal without hesitation. They even more suspected that Zhang Lian's death was directly related to Lei Hengbang. , so he deliberately kept silent.
The Chief of Justice and the Chief of Public Security usually follow the crowd, but this time they still adhere to their usual style of doing things, waiting for others to express their opinions before they express their opinions.
Lei Hengbang asked deputy captain Qi Mu: "Lao Qi, what do you think of Zhang Gao's proposal?"
Although he rejected Zhang Gao, he still wanted to hear the opinions of Qi Mu, who controlled the Chiyou fleet of the Yinglong pirate group.
Qi Mu coughed and said slowly:
“The death of Director Zhang Lian is very regrettable.
I understand Director Zhang Gao's desire to avenge his father.
The Chiyou fleet does not belong to me, Qi Mu, nor the Qi family, but to the Yinglong pirate group.
If we attack the Kabasi Empire, we are likely to suffer crazy retaliation.
Each of us must be mentally prepared for this.
Director Zhang Lian was a creditor to our Yinglong pirate group, but he was killed by the Kabasi Empire in vain. It is unjustifiable for us not to avenge him.
I agree to avenge Director Zhang Lian! "
"Ah!" The giants in the conference room couldn't help but be surprised. They didn't expect Qi Mu to agree to the proposal to attack the Kabasi Empire.
Lan Yiting also didn't expect that she originally thought Qi Mu would shirk and throw the ball to Lei Hengbang.
Lei Hengbang's expression changed and he said anxiously: "Old Qi, think about it! If we really have a direct conflict with the Kabasi Empire, it will bring us devastating disaster!"
"Captain, I understand, that's why I told everyone to be mentally prepared. Of course, if the other directors do not agree, we will not attack the Kabasi Empire." Qi Mu said calmly.
Lei Hengbang's face looked a little ugly. Qi Mu has always been a centrist, impartial, and with an overall view. I don't know why he agreed to the crazy request of this bastard Zhang Gao today.
"Directors, please express your opinions too! Since our Yinglong Pirate Group makes collective decisions, everyone must express their final opinions and don't always shrink back." Lei Hengbang saw that Qi Mu was not there for his second meeting. When I asked about it, I changed my mind and became a little dissatisfied, so I started thinking about finding support from other giants.
Lei Hengbang didn't want to waste the manpower and material resources of the Yinglong Pirate Group to avenge that bastard Zhang Lian.
"I don't agree" Justice Director Tian Heng.
“I don’t agree with that either,” Chief of Public Security He Tiezhou.
Qi Mu's statement made the two of them worried that if they really wanted to go to war with the Kabasi Empire, their interests would be damaged, so this time they did not wait for other giants and hurriedly expressed their stance, hoping to prevent the incident from happening. development direction.
Although Li Zifeng, the intelligence chief, suspected that Lei Hengbang had killed Zhang Lian, he rejected Zhang Gao's proposal out of the rationality of an intelligence officer. He also didn't want the Yinglong Pirates to suffer a devastating blow.
Lan Yiting frowned quietly when she heard that Li Zifeng did not agree to retaliate against the Kabasi Empire. This was a bit out of her plan.
Shi Mo and Lan Yiting still expressed their support for Zhang Gao.
After all nine giants expressed their opinions, Lei Hengbang looked proud and said: "Zhang Gao, unfortunately at 5:4, your proposal was rejected."
Zhang Gao pretended to be angry and said: "Humph, you will regret it."
Lei Hengbang scolded him: "Zhang Gao, you must pay attention to your words. You are still a member of the Yinglong Pirate Group and must obey our collective decision."
At this moment, Lei Hengbang's ring micro communicator beeped twice and received a message from Lei Tiandu.
At the same time, He Tiezhou also received news from his deputy director.
