The first to be destroyed was the No. 2 robot with a crack in its chest. after killing an enemy, the Union artillery focused on the No. 1 robot.

In the face of a firepower attack that was twice as powerful as before, the remaining robot did not exist for long and turned into a pile of scrap iron on the ground.

After getting rid of the two robots, the Union began to concentrate on eliminating the remaining enemies.

With the help of the red mecha soldiers assigned to the clearance troops, the clearance troops were very easy to find the enemy. As long as the enemy is found by the Union, these enemies will inevitably become scrap iron.

If the two sides attack each other face-to-face, these millions of enemies can be killed without the time spent by the dominant Union forces. But because they were scattered and hiding, the Union army needed to spend a lot of time looking for them.

So it took the Union three days to wipe out all the enemies in the area.

When the last enemy's mecha soldier was killed, the cheers of the people and soldiers immediately sounded all over the capital star.

Compared with the relief of the people, the need not to be afraid, and the joy of the army's complete victory, all civil servants from the president down to the mayor are sad.

The reason is simple: this battle completely destroyed the economic center of the capital star. The economy of the entire capital star has retrogressed for more than ten years, and the economy of the entire capital circle has retrogressed for more than 15 years because of this chain reaction.

No way, the economy of the capital circle is mainly concentrated in the capital star, if the capital star is unlucky, other planets will be even more unlucky.

"how long can the use of economic reserves last?" Chen Yu, who was so irritated to walk back and forth in the office, asked the summoned economists.

One of the oldest of so many economists, took out a document and said, "Madam President, according to our calculations and projections, if the economy is not rebuilt immediately," our economic reserves can only last three months. "

Chen Yu stopped abruptly and asked with an incredible expression, "only three months?" With so many material reserves, can't we delay the riots of the people? "

The economist swallowed saliva and said, "although our material reserves are rich, most of them are daily necessities and military materials, which can only ensure that people do not go hungry, and other daily necessities and all kinds of consumer goods have to be bought from the outside." Without these things, the spoiled people will drive this political axe out of office. "

Hearing this, Chen Yu immediately filled his heart with anger: "Damn the federal government axe of all ages, why are you so kind to the people in the capital circle?"

"even if the people in the capital circle at that time were relatives and friends who were related to you, they could not provide these people with free food and all kinds of daily necessities for free. There is even a law to provide free luxury goods once a month.

"those bastards have been used to getting these things without money for so many years, and if they don't have these supplies, they won't revolt right away!"

Chen Yu knew that this would definitely happen, because even when parliament ruled the capital circle, they were not exempt from this supply system.

If they cannot continue to maintain this supply system, then it is certain that the people of the entire capital circle will want to step down on their own in the first place.

This is not as simple as letting Tang long step down as last time. Last time, those people just demonstrated because they didn't like Tang long. To put it bluntly, they took part in the march.

At that time, although Tang long transferred 2/3 of the materials without authorization, and the public also had a lot of opinions, because their material rationing was still about the same as before, it had not really harmed their interests, so after Tang long threatened, they immediately gave in.

But this time, in addition to food rationing, other material rationing can not be satisfied, the people will certainly fight to the death. And at that time, we do not know whether Tang long is willing to help him suppress these people.

If Tang long stood idly by and let the people drive him out of office, then control the parliament and directly serve as president, then he, who has all the power and military power, will turn the Union of Wanluo into his private product!

Thinking of this, Chen Yu shook in his heart and hurriedly threw away such an idea. He dared not think about it, because the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he was. Chen Yu regretted it a little bit. How could he find Tang long as a partner?

After changing his mind, he asked the economist, "our economic reserves are so huge, why can we only maintain supply in the capital circle for three months?" According to my estimate, it won't be a problem even if it lasts for a few years. "

The economist said helplessly: "it is not because of other forces that we have bad luck and deliberately raise prices."

"Damn it! These robbing bastards! How could they do that! " Chen Yu scolded regardless of his manners.

Hearing this, the economists bowed their heads and muttered to themselves, "Please, who calls for the unification of the Union as soon as you come to power, is tantamount to treating all forces as enemies."

"since you are the enemy, do you have to help you tide over the difficulties if you don't put a stone in the hole when you see that you are in trouble?"

Chen Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, "do we have to buy materials from these forces?" Can't we. "

At this point, Chen Yu suddenly stopped, because he remembered that the capital circle was surrounded by other federal forces, and if he bought goods from foreign countries, he would certainly be intercepted and detained by these forces as soon as he entered the country.

An economist obviously did not realize that Chen Yu had found his mistake, so he kindly reminded him. Unsurprisingly, he was rewarded with a white eye.

After gritting his teeth for a while, Chen Yu asked, "can you rebuild our economic zone within three months?"

When the economists heard this, they all shook their heads like a rattle. Three months? Don't be ridiculous. The ruined economic zone won't last for two or three years and will never be restored at all.

Chen Yu slumped in his chair. Seeing this, the old economist cautioned: "Madam President, you can ask the big families of our Union for help. Maybe they can."

His words stopped at this point, as Chen Yu waved to them to stand down.

After everyone left, Chen Yu lit his cigar, took a hard breath, looked at the ethereal smoke, and Chen Yu sighed deeply.

He knew that the economist had suggested that it was a very good way to ask for help from the big families, but if he could get the support of those big families, would he still need to bother himself and ask these economists for a solution?

Thinking of these families' requests for their own visit, they found all kinds of excuses to refuse. Thinking of the Lin family, who had already set a date, he suddenly said that Lin Zhendong was not free recently and asked himself to make an appointment next time. Chen Yu could not help but bite his cigar and scolded in a low voice: "that's very euphemistic, isn't it a clear indication that you don't want to support me?" Damn it! "

Chen Yu knows very well why these families are unwilling to support themselves. it must have something to do with Lin Nan, who longed to step down a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu exhaled smoke and thought, "but Lin Nan, do you think I have stepped down, so you must sit on the presidency?" You know, those big families support more than just one force in the capital circle. Maybe they made an agreement to give up the capital circle to other forces?

"besides, even if these big families do not want the power of the capital circle to disappear, they will continue to support you as this president. However, you must not forget who has the military power in the capital circle. That guy is so agreeable. Maybe he wants to be president himself! "

Thinking of the existence of Tang long, Chen Yu suddenly remembered the intelligence collected by his cronies into the chaos-free galaxy Datang that he had received not long ago.

Thinking that he was too busy dealing with economic problems to see it, he immediately pressed a few buttons on the table and pulled up a piece of data to watch.

Sitting on a cargo ship, Deng Tao did not know why the boss, who is the president of the Union of Wanluo, allowed himself to come to this chaos-free system to investigate the overall situation of a power called Datang. In his mind, the chaos-free galaxy is a place full of scuffle, backwardness and poverty, and there is nothing to investigate in this place.

Since there was no flight to the chaos-free galaxy, after spending some time, Deng Tao finally found an acquaintance who sold arms everywhere and boarded a spaceship to enter the chaos-free galaxy.

Deng Tao felt that he was really lucky enough to find an acquaintance who happened to be going to Datang to do business in the chaos-free galaxy. If not, even if I find the spaceship that enters the chaos-free galaxy, I don't know where Datang's power is in the chaos-free galaxy.

Thinking that the acquaintances next to him were likely to know about Datang, Deng Tao immediately began to collect information: "Brother Zhang, what kind of place is this Datang?"

Brother Zhang, who was humming a song, said with a smile, "it is a beautiful and rich place full of money."

"Beautiful and rich? Does this mean a force in a chaos-free galaxy? " Deng Tao could not help thinking doubtfully, but instead of asking this, he said with glowing eyes, "A place full of money?" Brother Zhang, tell me about it. "

Deng Tao behaves in this way because for so long, he has given Brother Zhang the impression of a young man who is crazy to get rich.

"Hey, hey, you know, this is just an exaggeration, but I'm telling you, it's really easy to make money in Datang, and all kinds of opportunities to make money can be found almost everywhere, not to mention businessmen from several nearby countries running to Datang. Businessmen from some distant countries will come." Brother Zhang said.

Deng Tao doesn't believe what Brother Zhang said. Opportunities to make money can be found everywhere. That's not how you cheat, is it?

Although he disagreed in his heart, Deng Tao pretended to swallow saliva and asked anxiously, "Brother Zhang, what is the opportunity to make money?" Tell me about it. "

"Hey, hey, you can't say that. It's up to you to find it. It's a rule of the industry." Brother Zhang blinked and smiled.

Deng Tao certainly knows that this is a trade rule among businessmen, but why do you, an arms dealer, also do this? Deng Tao scolded in his heart for a while, but on the surface he pleaded pitifully.

Of course, in a situation that doesn't care and doesn't want to talk about it, the topic of making money ends quickly.

"Brother Zhang, what kind of goods are you shipping to Datang this time? I can't believe it's loaded with a full boat. " Deng Tao changed the subject and said. He will not directly ask about Datang to collect intelligence, this method of intelligence collection is the stupidest and can make people doubt his identity at any time.

"Oh, it's a bunch of antiques, powder guns and powder bullets." Brother Zhang answered casually.

"gunpowder guns and cartridges? The kind of ancient weapon before the popularity of laser weapons? How much are these antiques worth? "

Deng Tao was surprised. He didn't expect that Brother Zhang would ship these antiques to Datang to sell them.

Is Datang so rich that someone actually buys these antique collections? Isn't it said that people in chaos-free galaxies ate the last meal without the next meal?

Moreover, according to the chaos of the chaos-free galaxy, even if the rich want to buy weapons, but also buy new weapons to equip their own guards, how is it possible to buy antiques?

"Oh, when I said antiques just now, I meant that the styles of these goods are old, not that they are antiques. They are all newly produced." Brother Zhang saw that Deng Tao had misunderstood and could not help explaining.

Deng Tao, who was already surprised that Brother Zhang was transporting antique guns to Datang, was surprised to hear that the goods were fresh goods that had just been produced. It took him a while to ask, "Brother Zhang, can you sell this product for money?" You can't even earn back the cost of fuel, can you? "

Brother Zhang looked at Deng Tao's face and couldn't help saying excitedly, "am I such an idiot?" I'm telling you, this batch of goods can be sold for 3 million Wulai dollars! Listen carefully, it's 3 million Wulai dollars, not three million million dollars! "

"3 million Wulai dollars? 300.01 million ringgit? Is that impossible? " Deng Tao looked disbelieving.

Due to the separation of the federal warlords, warlords all over the country privately printed money, and the original Viola coins could hardly flow out of the capital circle, so the Universe Bank raised the exchange rate of the Viola to the Vulai by 100 to one.

"well, I won't say much, but when you get the money, you'll believe it." Brother Zhang said with an unhappy face.

"well, Brother Zhang, it's not that I don't believe it, but it's just amazing how anyone can buy this kind of powder gun that has been eliminated for so many years." Deng Tao said with a smile.

Brother Zhang thought for a moment, put on a smiling face and said, "Oh, I don't blame you. I couldn't believe it when I saw the news. When I came to the door, I found that the other party really wanted it, because after signing the contract with them," they immediately gave half the money. "

"sign the contract? Brother Zhang, in this chaos-free system, can the contract still be valid? " Deng Tao asked. Not to mention the chaos-free galaxies, even in the current Union of Romanies, there are not many contracts to abide by. There are all kinds of people these days, and the legal effect of the contract has been invalid for thousands of years.

Brother Zhang said: "I don't know anywhere else, but Datang's contract is valid. if I swallow the deposit and don't act according to the contract, not only can my organization and I no longer appear in Datang, but also will be hunted and killed by countless mercenaries."

"not to mention being chased by mercenaries, just not being able to do business in Datang will cost me to death, because all the people in Datang abide by the contract. You know, my organization was cheated several times in the Union of Romans. I used all my connections, but I couldn't even find one. In the end, I paid out of my own pocket to make up for the deficit.

"now my organization doesn't do much business with other people. It specializes in Datang's business. The profit is not only higher than before, but also safe. It seems that only by abiding by the contract can we make money. " Speaking of later, Brother Zhang could not help but sigh.

"well, from this point of view, Datang attaches great importance to contracts, that is to say, Datang attaches great importance to economic development. It seems that what Brother Zhang said earlier is very likely to be true." Deng Tao, who had gathered a little information, kept this in mind and continued to ask, "Brother Zhang, who is willing to spend so much money to buy this batch of goods?" Even if you buy it for fun, you don't need so much goods, right? "

"Oh, it's for a shooting range." Brother Zhang said.

"A shooting range? Is it possible for people in Datang to engage in these leisurely activities? " Deng Tao was surprised again.

", I say that you regard Datang as the same as other forces in the chaos-free galaxy. I will not say much, but I will only tell you that Datang definitely surpassed the Union of Romanies before the separatist regime of the warlords."

When Brother Zhang saw Deng Tao in a daze because of his words, he couldn't help smiling, and then continued: "although in Datang, this kind of shooting range can't be opened by anyone, but the competition is very fierce, so this shooting range, specially asked me to get some more powerful powder guns, and because of this, this batch of goods can be sold at this price."

"Don't shooting ranges usually use weapons like laser guns? Why does Datang's shooting range use this powder gun? You should know that the armor that can reflect the laser beam in the shooting range cannot stop the bullets of the powder gun. How can that shooting range enter such a dangerous weapon that is not afraid of causing casualties to the guests? " Deng Tao asked inexplicably.

"Oh, it's not a shooting range that uses this kind of powder gun, but all Datang's shooting ranges use this kind of weapon. As I have just said, these shooting ranges cannot be opened by ordinary people. Datang's shooting range stipulates that people without titles and military ranks are not allowed to enter.

"in Datang, people who can enter the shooting range and use this kind of weapon have status and status. do you want the shooting range to take adequate security measures for its guests?" Brother Zhang smiled.

"Ah? The shooting range turned into an aristocratic club? How can that be? " Deng Tao is a clear cook, so when he heard about this very obvious hierarchical organization, he was immediately dissatisfied.

Brother Zhang smiled again and said, "Oh, Datang is a country ruled by reading, of course it can be so." It's not that I'm talking about you, and you don't have to get so excited when you hear about reading talent. In these days, the struggle between cooking and reading talent is no longer a major problem. Maybe one day an emperor will be able to unify the whole universe. "

Seeing Deng Tao's disbelieving look on his face, Brother Zhang smiled and changed the subject and said, "the most fundamental reason why this gunpowder gun shooting activity is welcomed by the aristocracy of Datang is that the owners of Datang like this kind of activity." the immediate boss all play with this thing, of course, the following people should also follow suit. "

Deng Tao quickly calmed down. When he heard this, he could not help asking, "since the owner of Datang likes this activity, and since all shooting ranges need this kind of powder gun, why does Datang not produce it himself, but buy it from outside?" Not to mention that Datang does not have this kind of production capacity, everyone knows that the production of this kind of weapon is very simple, and any metal factory can produce it. "

Brother Zhang nodded and said, "of course, Datang will not lack this kind of production capacity. You know, Datang can build his own warships. For Datang's factory, this gadget is not worth mentioning at all."

"because of this, it was impossible for Datang's Ministry of Commerce to vacate a factory to produce this weapon, and Datang did not allow private manufacturing of weapons, so the shooting range had to be purchased from outside."

The two men were right between Hala and came near a blue planet.

Learning that this planet was the capital star of Datang, Deng Tao could not help but be stupefied, and he remembered that he had not been intercepted or questioned at all.

Is the power of Datang so strong that there are no pirates around here? Is there still no chaos in this calm place? And along the way, I didn't see a Datang vigilance force at all. Could Datang's vigilance system be so lax?

Deng Tao expressed this question to Brother Zhang and got a saying: "there are no pirates near Datang, and the guard forces are all at the border." The answer.

Although Deng Tao was not very satisfied with this answer, because when he entered the Datang border, he did not see the guard force at all, but because the spaceship had already entered the port for inspection, Deng Tao did not ask any more questions.

Brother Zhang accompanied the personnel of the space port to inspect the cargo and waited for the spaceship cargo to be disinfected, while Deng Tao looked carefully at the space port.

Looking at these advanced and brand-new facilities, Deng Tao could not help lamenting that this cosmic port is even more beautiful and advanced than the cosmic port in the capital of the Union.

Brother Zhang is a little skeptical about brother Zhang's claim that there are thousands of such cosmic ports on Datang's capital star.

However, when he saw that there were thousands of ship positions in the cosmic port, leaving and leaving, and almost none of them could be vacant for five minutes, he believed it.

At the same time, also believe what Brother Zhang said: the throughput of Star Cosmoport, the capital of Datang, is at least 50,000 ships a day.

Deng Tao was deeply shocked at this. The throughput of 50,000 spaceships a day, the throughput of the Universe Port of the Capital Star did not reach this figure before the separatist regime of the warlords.

This huge throughput brings not only prosperity, but also huge economic benefits.

According to Brother Zhang, this Datang is not only the richest power in the chaos-free galaxy, but also probably the richest power in a large area of galaxies nearby.

Although Deng Tao, who came out of the cosmic port, thought he knew something about the wealth of Datang, when he saw the situation outside the cosmic port, he still found that he did not know the degree of affluence of Datang.

Spacious and clean streets, beautiful and colorful flowers and trees; countless buildings along the road that are not tall, but very beautiful; a large number of orderly traffic that stops quietly; a polite, hurried, energetic crowd.

All this makes Deng Tao feel that the capital star of the Union of Wanluo is not comparable to the capital star of Datang.

While sighing, Deng Tao suddenly noticed that there was a strange phenomenon in the crowd coming and going. When the crowd met certain people, they would suddenly stop, respectfully nod and greet these specific people, and automatically make way for these specific people who are equally polite and polite.

Deng Tao saw that these people saluted and made way for certain people from the bottom of their heart, because there was not a trace of reluctance on their faces, but only respectful envy and a little jealousy. There is absolutely no look of disgust.

Deng Tao found that just from the appearance of these specific people, there is no difference between them and ordinary people.

However, under his careful observation, Deng Tao found that these specific people had a small badge on their chest.

The design of this badge is not the same. Deng Tao found bows and arrows, long guns, axes, shields and so on. These patterns should be used to distinguish the status between them, but Deng Tao does not know which pattern represents a higher status and which one represents a lower status.

When Brother Zhang found out what Deng Tao was paying attention to, he could not help grinning and said, "those are title badges, or titles for short. All officials in Datang have this kind of title badge, and this rank is the same as that of military rank."

"the titles of Datang are very fine, with seven orders and 21 grades. Those who have no rank and military rank should salute those with rank and rank, while those with low rank should salute those with high rank. This is written into the laws of Datang."

"well, feudalism." Deng Tao could not help humming.

Brother Zhang, who heard Deng Tao's words, said with a smile: "it is not a feudal system, just like the federal civil servant, as long as you become a civil servant, you can have a knighthood, and in addition to the highest rank that can be retained for life, other titles will be abolished after retirement. Datang's title cannot be hereditary. Ha ha, is it very similar to the position system of the Union of Wanluo?

"also, Datang has prepared a kind of honorary title for those who do not want to be officials and foreigners. This title is awarded according to the degree of contribution to Datang. Except for the lack of salary and power, the other treatment of this honorary title is the same as that of the regular title. Brother Zhang and I are still a little worse than you, brother Zhang, and you can get the honorary title. " Speaking of which, Brother Zhang could not help being triumphant.

Deng Tao did not pay attention to what Brother Zhang was proud of. He meditated on the title system of Datang for a long time.

After thinking about it, Deng Tao found that apart from being respected by others, the title of Datang seemed to be no different from the position system of Ming politics. When he thought of this, he couldn't help asking, "if you can't be hereditary, won't the aristocrats of Datang object?" I know that the predecessor of Datang was the family system. "

Brother Zhang said with a smile, "Oh, after the title reaches a certain degree, you can elect a person to be an official. This kind of person can directly get a rank or two lower than the nominee, which is much less difficult than those who climb up step by step from below."

"and people with titles and military ranks have concessions in many ways, and their salaries are so high that you can't believe it. Besides, those aristocrats dare not have any opinions, you know, Tang long alone has the final say, dare to resist, all can not see the sun the next day!

"when I think of this, I don't understand why Tang long's good emperor didn't do it and went to the Union of Wanluo to become a marshal." When Brother Zhang said this, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

"it turns out that Tang long is the master of Datang. I finally understand why my boss asked me to come to Datang to collect intelligence." It was only then that Deng Tao, who knew who the master of Datang was, nodded and stopped talking.

Looking at the image taken by Deng Tao on the screen, Chen Yu didn't wake up until his cigar burned to his fingers. he looked blankly at his office and then sighed deeply.

He comes from an intelligence background and can see the hidden information from a simple thing.

Chen Yu did not read the later military intelligence, did not say that he did not care about this point, even if he cared, he could know that the latter military intelligence was of little value.

According to Datang's tight espionage system, if Deng Tao really finds any useful military intelligence, this information will certainly not be sent back.

Chen Yu has got the information he wants from those images just now, to sum up, that is, Datang is rich, Datang attaches importance to commerce, Datang has strict hierarchy, Datang system is strict, Datang is full of vitality.

Chen Yu stroked the finger that had just been scalded by a cigar and sighed and said, "Oh, ask the tiger for the skin. Anyway, anything can happen these days."

Speaking of this, Chen Yu, with a flash of cold in his eyes, whispered to himself, "however, it is not impossible for salted fish to become live fish."

Chen Yu got up and pressed a button on the table and said, "get ready for the car. I'm going to the military headquarters." Having just finished saying this, Chen Yu was obviously stupefied for a moment, because he was very familiar with the scene and the sentence.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu shook his head and sighed, turned and left the office.

(to be continued)
