Resurrection Empire

Under the command of the Earl of Nanxiang, there are serious shortages of various resources. Due to insufficient materials, even the energy battery production capacity, which used to be a strong point, cannot keep up. Development has almost stagnated. Basic supply guarantees are in short supply. Many There was even a major accident involving widespread power outage on the planet.

What's even sadder is that Liu An found that if he wanted to get out of this predicament, he still had to send money to the Chifeng tribe.

Because Ren Zhong's group of cannibalistic subordinates actually mastered the basics of geothermal power generation, tidal power generation, and nuclear fusion power generation that surpassed the Nanxiang Star Cluster, but they also required a lot of energy to figure out the old-era technologies.

In addition, the Chifeng Ministry of Commerce took the initiative to come to the door and said that the great Uncle Chifeng had observed the current predicament of Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, and ordered the Chifeng Academy of Science to work hard on the problem regardless of past suspicions. Now it has successfully developed the product that Nanxiang Earl's Mansion is in short supply. Substitute materials for the core components of energy batteries are willing to be sold to Nanxiang Earl's Mansion at "cost price" to solve the Liu family's current predicament.

When Liu An saw the other party's offer, he was not moved at all, only angry.

This damn piece of shit really counts his costs.

If he really wants to purchase according to the "cost price" reported by Chifeng's Ministry of Commerce, it means that from now on, Nanxiang Earl's Mansion will become his important wage earner, and the economic and energy lifeline will be firmly controlled by others. The Nanxiang Earl's Mansion will eventually be slowly bled to death.

Liu An finally couldn't hold it back and roared at the business representative from the Liaoyuan Galaxy in front of him: "What kind of bullshit is this? How can I accept this... this kind of unit price! I've seen your R\u0026D report and the materials used. It’s just mass-produced animal organ extract! It’s very cheap!”

Facing this angry earl, the former master of the Nanxiang Star Cluster, the mid-level representative of the Chifeng Department of Commerce did not show any panic at all. He only smiled calmly and said: "Your Majesty, you are kidding. Its cost is indeed very high. It’s cheap, but this is a new product, and it’s developed only for you. You can’t ignore the R\u0026D cost. No matter what, it must cover the R\u0026D cost, right? If it’s as simple as you said, Nanxiang Earl’s Mansion Why not do it yourself?”

Liu An's expression froze.

He looked at the little person opposite who was neither humble nor arrogant, but had no name, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Of course he knew that the other party was talking nonsense.

But I have to admit a cruel fact.

That is because Nanxiang Earl's Mansion cannot do it and cannot develop it.

He knew very well that the research and development costs mentioned by the other party were just a cover.

With the scientific research capabilities currently displayed by the Chifeng tribe, working on this kind of project can only be regarded as a side job.

"However, the energy battery materials that I am in short supply were originally very common things. It was you who bought up all the supplies in the Nanxiang Star Cluster and the Far Frontier Star Territory, and it was you who monopolized all other products directly connected to the Nanxiang Star Cluster through the Star Gate. The supply of goods in the region is what led to my predicament. Not only that, every time I contact a new potential seller, you will..."

The mid-level representative interrupted Liu An, "Lord Earl, please be more mature and discuss business. The reason why we buy in large quantities is not to target anyone, but just because our own demand is too large. You have also seen it , our warships are constantly coming out of the pot like dumplings. Our production capacity is too high."

"So you cut down your production capacity a little bit and leave some for me!" Liu An shouted again.

The mid-level representative shrugged, "This is the basic national policy set by our Lord Earl, and no one can shake it."

"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now, let me think about it for a day." Liu Anxin waved his hand dejectedly.

"Okay, but I will only wait for one day. If you still can't give me an answer tomorrow, Mr. Earl, I will return to the Liaoyuan Galaxy. By the way, the Earl's Mansion has authorized me, and I can completely close the last crack in the door of cooperation between the two parties. I hope. You take your chances and don’t be emotional.”

After saying that, the mid-level representative turned around and left without hesitation.

Watching the man's back go away, Liu An gritted his teeth.

If it were before, he would have dared to take out his gun and kill the disrespectful guy in front of him with one shot.

You don't even have a title. Who gave you the courage to act like a dog in front of me?

But times have changed, and today's Red Feng clan, even if it is just a subordinate who is far away from the important task, is no longer a character that Liu An can kill at will.

Liu An felt humiliated, sad and angry, but he also felt deeply powerless.

Originally, he had already managed the Nanxiang Star Cluster into his own private empire, and everything was going smoothly. Looking around, he was surrounded by people from all over the world. No one dared to take advantage of him, and no one even dared to speak loudly in front of him.

But now...

In short, since Ren Zhong brought his tribe to the Nanxiang Star Cluster, everything slowly became wrong.

So much so that Liu An had to change his past style and frequently release cryogenic slumber to deal with some new situations.

Nowadays, not only is Nanxiang Earl's Mansion in a delicate situation, but he also often feels that his energy is low.

He felt that he was aging several times, even dozens of times, faster than before.

Until now, Liu An is finally facing a complete collapse.

But he had one last straw.

About an hour later, Liu An met Senna Romanov in an exotic manor.

Obviously, Ms. Saina has to bear the main responsibility for the major decision-making mistakes in the past. In Duke Wenle's palace, many people even suspected that she was an insider of the Chifeng clan.

The dignified Duke's Mansion was unexpectedly swept away by Uncle Chi Feng, who spread all the garbage stars in nearly ten star fields, under obviously abnormal circumstances. Not only was the price extremely low, but a full loan was even given for a long period of time. , If you wait for someone to give you nothing, you will be in vain.

This matter has now become a big joke on a cosmic scale.

Someone has to take responsibility for this.

However, it was Duke Ivan himself who made the final decision.

The Duke must not make mistakes, so Senna can only bear the blame.

Fortunately, Duke Ivan wanted to save his face, and he also thought that Senna and the family behind her had been loyal and dedicated for many years and had great achievements, so he only reduced her title of Lord and Earl and then punished her with exile. Life.

The place where Senna and her family were sentenced to exile was actually the Nanxiang Star Cluster, which saved her from having to move again.

Although Senna now lost her title, Liu An knew that this woman had an unusual relationship with Duke Ivan, so he did not dare to look down upon her. He not only took the initiative to ask for a meeting, but even visited her in person, just to show his sincerity.

"Ms. Senna, you must also know the current situation in the Earl's Mansion of Nanxiang. In order to cooperate with the Duke's arrangements, I kept ceding my interests and even breaking my bones. Now I have been forced to the end. I implore Wen Lord Le Duke comes to the rescue, otherwise I will be unable to bear it any longer."

Liu An said sincerely.

Senna Romanov did not rush to answer, but pondered over and over again.

But on the other side, Ren Zhong, who was living in seclusion in the Liaoyuan Galaxy, was also looking through the report submitted by Han Zhixin.

The core content of this report is the entire video of the negotiation between the mid-level representative and Liu An.

After reading the report, Ren Zhong lay down on his back again, closed his eyes, and began to predict.

After a long time, Ren Zhong opened his eyes again, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Some time ago, he conducted another prediction using Liu An and Duke Wenle's Mansion as anchor points.

The predicted result surprised him.

He actually saw new variables in the future.

This change is not a bad thing, it is moving in a good direction.

Liu An and Duke Wenle's Palace seemed to have given up on trying to use the Empire's espionage route on the Ascendant's side to deal with him.

This saves the Chifeng tribe a lot of troubles and variables in the upcoming war.

In the future that Ren Zhong saw, the Red Front Legion relied on its stronger strength to climb up step by step, and gradually became the backbone of the star field-level war.

The Chifeng tribe will fight to defend the dignity, glory, territory and interests of the empire.

The three major star wars headed by Zhenjiang Hou were able to survive the initial disadvantages and have been guarding several star gates and waiting for a steady stream of reinforcements.

In the end, with the continuous reinforcements of the Empire's central fleet, the Machine Empire will achieve a tragic victory. After paying a huge price, there will be only the Ascendants on the surface. In fact, it is likely that the Ascended, Pilgrims and Psychic Demons are secretly involved. The first probing attack after hooking up was repelled.

As Uncle Chifeng, Ren Zhong himself will make great military exploits, will be promoted to marquis, and will be only one step away from being a duke.

But this is not the result Ren Zhong wants.

Because he himself and his Chifeng tribe were an important part of the "price" the empire had to pay.

Because Ren Zhong also "saw" that in this battle, none of the trillions of Chifeng people he had worked so hard to pull out would be wiped out.

Not only that, but many high-level talents from the Chifeng tribe will continue to die.

The Ascendant army, secretly supported by the Pilgrims and Psychic Demons, has the terrifying ability to execute decapitation tactics.

This decapitation capability is composed of intelligence capabilities, latency capabilities, equipment capabilities, strategic and tactical planning capabilities, execution capabilities and other factors.

The special operations forces trained by the three parties are almost perfect.

Ren Zhong even saw that even Zhenjiang Hou Jinshi was not immune.

The important talents of the Chifeng tribe were captured with great accuracy.

It can be said that he is the only one who can rely on his ability to predict and save danger continuously. Among the combined armies of the empire, he is the only one who can barely be considered safe.

In the end, the empire was able to barely remain undefeated despite repeated defeats, and finally turned defeat into victory, relying on the role of the sea-fixing needle that he himself would play.

But no matter how friendly this future may be to Ren Zhong himself, he has no interest in it at all.

He spent so much time, expended so much energy, and received so many people's lifelong efforts to bring the Chifeng tribe step by step to its current height, and only then did he receive the talents, technology and productivity within the tribe. full-scale outbreak.

If this battle is fought in this way, so what if he really becomes a duke?

His Red Front clan would be destroyed.

He will become a bare duke and have to tear down everything and start over.

If you have a heavy responsibility, you will lose not only time, but also your own efforts.

Although he is a reserved person, in fact, only he himself knows how much he feels about the people of the Chifeng tribe, whether it is the old team who have been there from the beginning, the new pirates who have joined him, or others. , all treated with sincerity.

The core belief that has always supported his ideals is his indescribable empathy for hundreds of millions of civilians.

If it were an ordinary count of the empire, on the one hand he had been thoroughly brainwashed, and on the other hand he was more focused on his own interests, he would be happy to trade the lives of 99% of his subjects in exchange for a marquis or duke. title.

But the heavy responsibility is obviously not ordinary.

Therefore, he needs Liu An and Duke Wenle to create variables for him.

So, when he found out that Liu An was actually timid, instead of being unhappy, he became anxious.

To borrow an old saying, "I've even taken off my pants, and you're just going to show me this?"

That's why he asked Han Zhixin to start weaving a big net to deal with the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, constantly oppressing the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, constantly torturing Liu An, and increasing the dose for this guy.

By now, this big net has been closed and it has taken effect.

Ren Zhong sent a text message to Han Zhixin.

"Well done, but we have to keep up the good work. There are still ten years. In these ten years, we have to maintain this intensity, keep torturing him, ravage him, and let him see new things every time he wakes up from cryogenic slumber. Bad news. I want him to hate me to the core and realize more clearly that no matter in the Nanxiang Star Cluster or anywhere in the empire, there is me without him. I want to completely eliminate his luck and cut off his luck. All possible escape routes.”

Han Zhixin only replied with two words.

"As commanded."

…

On the other hand, Senna finally thought about it.

She turned to look at Liu An, who was so sincere that he was almost pleading. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said secretly: "Uncle Nanxiang, I have received your request. I will report the matter to the Duke. Just wait for me. answer."

Liu An said anxiously: "This... we can't wait any longer."

Senna said coldly again: "But I heard that you seem to be a little shaken?"

Liu An was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Senna: "You don't need to pretend to be crazy. I have been in the Nanxiang Star Cluster for many years. If I didn't have any intelligence network, I would have been abandoned by the Duke for being too useless."

Liu An was silent.

He had to admit.

Deep down in his heart, his obsession with killing people had indeed wavered slightly. Because Ren Zhong was so dazzling, the price he had to pay to kill such a chosen one was so heavy that his scalp felt numb just imagining it. He was afraid.

However, he clearly never revealed his feelings to anyone, and no one in the Earl's Mansion even knew that he still held the small black box in his hand.

But now, Senna exposed his disguise with just one word.

After a long time, Liu An replied in a muffled voice: "I apologize to you, but I will definitely do this. I know very well that I have no way out. He must die."

Senna nodded: "Yes. If he dies, you and I still have a chance of survival. If he survives, makes a contribution in the war, and becomes a marquis or even a duke, you will be exterminated, and I will become the real victim." "
