In fact, she really didn't have a headache about this. It was not because Aros left without saying goodbye not long after returning to the Dilal Star System. This time she didn't even leave a note, nor because the Star Alliance government's investigation of military-industry companies such as Ward Heavy Industry and Iga Industrial has expanded, and there is a trend of overflowing water under public opinion. Even Morningstar Casting, which has not yet been officially put into production, has been affected.

What she had a headache was that it had been one month since the Melin Star incident. The Fallen Angel never sent a contact request. The communication link sent by the Dilal star system was also sank to the sea without any response.

"Is he... okay? Nothing will happen."

She once secretly sent a search team to the abyss of Taltaros to explore the last stop area of ​​the Falloped Angel, but the result was disappointing. No relevant clues were found, and the Falloped Angel seemed to disappear out of thin air.

No discovery is also a good thing to some extent. At least it cannot prove that the fallen Angel was destroyed and Tang Fang and others were killed - she could only use this method to comfort herself.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and avoid causing chaos, she concealed the situation of losing contact with the Fallen Angel, saying that the Tang side had other important things to do and could not come back for a moment.

Those who followed Tang Fang since the Battle of Crotan knew the existence of the Lost Land very well, and they thought he had gone there, so naturally they would not think too much. Only Byron, Grant and others knew about the loss of the Fallen Angel and the Dillar star system, and even Tang Yun was kept in the dark.

A month has passed and Tang Fang has not come back.

Two months have passed, and Tang Fang has not come back yet.

Three months have passed, and there are still no signs of the return of the fallen Angel.

In the fourth month, the focus of public opinion shifted from the shooting competition that occurred in Melinxing to the Star Alliance Supervision Agency's investigation of military giants such as Hirohiko Iga, Swindon Bourne. Adam Oliver and others originally planned to hit the managers of these military enterprises, so that Hirohiko Iga and others would be more obedient and understand the overall situation, but they never expected that the court agency's intervention would make things worse and worse.

Before the Star Covenant and the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire declared war, when the Congress decided a series of important matters, the justices complained about Adam Oliver's move toward wartime politics, because once they entered wartime politics, the power of the court institutions would be significantly weakened.

Although the old guys made concessions at the last moment, they were always a little unhappy. Adam Oliver believed that the most fundamental reason for the expansion of the investigation was that the old guys took advantage of the issue to enhance their presence. The Star Covenant is now a wartime politics. Because of the previous betrayal of the covenant, the Tang side did not hold the Star Covenant government accountable for the sake of Terry Ferdinand, but the reputation of the Liberal politicians led by him was greatly damaged, and there was a crisis of trust in both civil society and grassroots government agencies.

In this environment, he did not dare to use the identity of the President of the Star Covenant to restrain the elderly in the court system, so as not to cause another political storm. So when the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire navy remained unmoved and there was no external crisis for the time being, the Star Covenant was experiencing an internal unrest... In fact, it was not considered unrest, and perhaps it was more accurate to describe it as undercurrents.

Adam Oliver thought it was so, but as the incident continued to ferment, I gradually realized that things were not as simple as I imagined. The Supreme Court had the idea of ​​giving him a little color, but there were more complex factors behind it, such as pressure from social public opinion, such as occupational diseases.

In fact, bringing these factors together makes the current situation an invisible mastermind behind it.

The Sulu Empire and the Mongya Empire ended in failure in the two unmanned areas. They lost many secret chess in the government storm caused by the previous incident of betraying the covenant. This does not mean that they will learn from their lessons and lie down honestly.

As the saying goes, attack is always the best defensive method. He admires the enemy's think tank very much. After suffering such a failure, he found a new entry point to attack.

Among the charges against Hirohiko Iga, Swin Bourne and others, one of the charges was to treason the enemy. This is not groundless. It is important to know that the military will more or less technical cooperation with some military-industrial enterprises to develop new weapon systems. As commercial institutions that pursue economic interests, it is difficult to guarantee that the relevant technology will not be directly sold for attractive interests, or contain arms of related technologies to people of unknown origin.

Many merchants who purchase these weapons negotiate in the name of mercenaries, but only gods know whether they have other identities. Merchants obviously don’t care about the authenticity of mercenaries. Anyway, that is the responsibility of the government departments, and even if there is a problem, they will not blame themselves... Some military-industrial enterprises even help customers to open up government links, thereby selling large quantities of arms to make huge profits.

Although most weapons are outdated products compared to naval equipment, it is undeniable that they have a strong Covenant style. When it comes to potential enemies such as the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire, they will undoubtedly bring unforeseen risks.

Before the war started, many people chose to turn a blind eye to the cooperation between military-industrial enterprises and the government. Now in the war period, Hirohiko Iga and others kicked Adam Oliver and others hard in the incident of betraying the covenant, which in turn led to joint sanctions between the Liberal Party and the Republican Party.

Under such circumstances, the Sulu Empire and the Mongya Empire neither tried every means to rescue their business partners nor did they make a fuss, but chose to add fuel to the fire and add to the insult.

Just as Hirohiko Iga and others kicked the Adam government in the incident of betraying the covenant, they also tasted the knife stabbed from the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire.

Evidence of some pseudo-mercenary groups and the Wanderer Technology Federation, Iga Industrial and other military-industrial enterprises conducting irregular transactions appears on the desks of some media people and independent prosecutors. There are even military-industrial enterprises that help customers avoid government investigations in order to facilitate transactions.

More and more scandals between government agencies and military-industrial enterprises have been learned by the public. Under such circumstances, the case handlers of independent investigative agencies want to turn things into small things according to Adam Oliver's intention. However, because of Tang's frame-up, Hirohiko Iga, Swinburn, Komodo Xinan, etc., they lost trust from each other. Faced with the ironclad evidence placed on the table by investigators, in order to excuse the guilt, they chose to betray people within the government who have received bribes from enterprises, from institutional clerks to leaders of the state's real power departments, one by one was revealed. So the case was like a snowball, involving more and more people, and the scope of influence was getting bigger and bigger. Even the justices didn't know how to end the political turmoil that began with the assassination of Captain Tang.

As Chen Jian concluded, “He always makes big news.”

The fourth month passed in this turmoil, and there was still no news from Tang Fang.

In the fifth month, Kelinia lost weight and began to become restless. Tang Yun seemed to notice something and pestered her to ask her about her brother's affairs, which made her more and more trouble and didn't know how to explain it.

Five months are just a long journey for space navigation, and it is not long. However, this is aimed at the warp speed navigation level of ships produced by sovereign countries. With the power mastered by the Tang side and the performance of the Fallen Angel, it has not appeared publicly for five months. Even if Kellynia, Grant and others swore that he was carrying out a secret mission, it would inevitably lead to doubt.

Fortunately, the Star Alliance government's investigation into military-industrial giants has become increasingly fierce and almost unable to end, which has reduced the attention of the world to Morning Star casting. At the same time, an incident that happened in the Phoenix Empire has set off another wave of discussion, which has once again weakened people's enthusiasm for Captain Tang.

The Emperor of the Phoenix Empire, Virginia Alexander, suddenly appeared in the Sdelia stellar system where Morrisnu lived in large numbers, condolences to some elderly people who lived beyond 40 years old very rarely, and promised to abolish the doctrine that prohibited Morrisnu from joining the army, giving them a broader space for development and a better working environment.

After leaving the Sdelia star system where Morrisnu lived in large numbers, he went to the nearby Sandness star system, visited the largest space plantation in the empire and a top-ranked university, and gave an impromptu speech, detailing his idea of ​​reorganization, including broadening the promotion channels for the lower class people; implementing the last-place elimination system and public opinion assessment system for officials; restricting and adjusting the privileges of the nobles and the army; setting up new institutions and increasing supervision and constraints on law enforcement departments; formulating clearer and more standardized laws; giving more protection and preferential treatment to the Morris...

His behavior and speeches unsurprisingly set off a political storm within the Phoenix Empire, and also attracted many foreign eyes. No one expected that the "His Majesty from Heaven" who was known for its domineering and arrogant thought would have such a thought, just like suddenly becoming another person, completely subverting the people's impression of him.

Although he did this, it did not rule out the possibility of acting, unlike in the past, these words were not as full of fake and empty characteristics as the speech on the National Day, and had strong clarity. No matter from any perspective, they were a kind of progress and a change. Although the scale was not large, at least he had plans to move forward.

Could it be that His Majesty the "great" Holy Emperor suddenly realized in his seventies and wanted to have a vigorous political affair and reform the appearance of this country?

Many people draw a big question mark in their hearts, hoping that he can release a more obvious signal to help people determine his true thoughts and then have a prospect for the future.

What caught people off guard was that before this passionate thought had cooled down, the bad news of Virginia Alexander suddenly falling ill on his way back... At least until His Majesty the Holy Emperor recovered, neither domestic nor foreigners would receive any news about political changes.

Time came to the sixth month after the fallen Angel lost contact. Even though Carinia and Grant and others made a lot of efforts, the rumor that "Tang Fang has not appeared for six months and is suspected to be missing" was spread in the Star Alliance society and developed into a trend with a wide range of influence swept across the entire Hillenbel region.

"Captain Tang disappeared?" The whole world was in an uproar. This rumor spread at an astonishing speed, occupying the pages of small and medium-sized newspapers and online media, occupying the chats on the streets and alleys, and occupying the work and life of many people.

"Did you encounter a space storm and cause the ship to be destroyed? For example, magnetar erupts, or subspace turbulence..."

"Will it be done by the Supreme Council, those who spoke dragons?"

"It may also be that I have been assassinated. Well, it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and cannot be prevented..."

"Hey, hey, don't be so pessimistic. You didn't see the titles of those news using questions? And they used 'missing', not 'death'. Morningstar Casting even clarified this rumor, and don't be deceived by reports that are used by those little media without moral integrity to attract attention."

"Clarification... do you believe the clarification of the company? Sometimes the rumor is far more true than the official media's words. I am very much looking forward to what kind of ending will be without Tang Fang's Morning Star Casting? And what about Garcia's Resistance Army, it's so pitiful."

"Haha, you're resentful because Linda puts you and Captain Tang together. If he really dies, it will be of no benefit to everyone in the Star Alliance. Who do you think scares the Monya Empire Navy and the Sulu Empire Navy and dare not step into the border, is the Star Alliance Navy? Don't joke."

"This...just make peace, make peace...yes, if that kid hadn't disturbed the situation, how could Star Covenant go to war with the Mongya Empire and the Sulu Empire, causing the deaths of many lives in space and the separation of family wives."

"I remember when the President issued the mobilization order, you were more excited than anyone else. If it weren't for physical reasons, you might have already been on the battlefield now. Now you are talking about this again, alas, jealousy is so terrible!"

In short, this news has brought great impact to the Alliance society. There are those who are frustrated, those who are sighing, those who are worried, those who are excited, and those who are gloating...

Perhaps because the life and death of Tang's side cannot be determined, the government did not fluctuate in its attitude towards Morning Star Casting, and it still maintained its original situation and appropriately provided convenience and privileges in certain areas.

Only senior government officials know how terrible the undercurrent hidden under the calm surface is, unlike the last time that began in civil society, this time it was caused by internal tearing.

It turns out that the expansion of investigations into military-industry giants such as Hirohiko Iga, Swin Burn, caused a series of chain reactions within the government. Many officials have developed from the initial fear and fear to joining together to keep warm and confronting censorship, and have also shown inaction and random actions in their daily work.
