Chapter 1458 Brady Star

This economic recession reflects the level of people's livelihood, which means that all industries are abolished, population declines, society is poor, and life is arbitrary. In this case, those nobles and officials will not only not understand people's livelihood, but also find ways to change this situation. They are like pests on dying trees, but instead become more severe. In terms of taxes, prices, circulation expenses, power and money transactions, etc., as long as matters within the scope of their functions are really leaving traces and geese pulling their hair.

No one wants to stay in such a poor and difficult place for a long time, let alone benefit the people and fight for profit. Whether it is an upper-level official or a basic official, what he thinks is to make as much money as possible within his own function, in exchange for a good life, and then leave this place where the bird does not shit at the right time.

In a sense, it is also a kind of behavior of "eating the mountains and water, and drinking water by relying on the mountains and waters they use to make profits, and they are used to constantly pull out cows and sheep, even if some of the bald skins have been pulled out. However, there is still flesh and blood when the skin is gone? Even if there are only bones left, at least they can be fed to dogs.

The Cartel Star System is one of the representatives of the habitable star system that is rapidly declining due to the siphon effect of the Hector Trade Corridor. Because its owner, Duke Fromm Bessoni, has two star systems. In addition to the Cartel Star System, the other star system is located inside the Hector Trade Corridor. Most of the powerful and wealthy people have immigrated. The Cartel Star System has become synonymous with backwardness and poverty. There are only fools who have no power, no power, no money, and only know how to work hard to survive and reproduce here, and have been slaves who have no way out for generations.

The above is the background information about the Cartel Star System obtained by Tang Fang through Miss Emma.

There are many livable star systems like this, the Mongya Empire and the Sulu Empire, the poverty of the region, the exploitation of officials, and the arbitrage of the people... These situations are not characteristic at all. It can also be said that he is already commonplace, and he may have turned a blind eye to it, or at least he will not be as angry as before, and he wishes to kill all the cruel nobles and their lackeys.

The same goes, he can save their bodies, but cannot save their spirits. There are always people in this world who are willing to be eunuchs, and there are always people who like to lick their bones and bark. These people are indeed hateful. But what about those guys who are deceived by lies without self-reflection, but instead help the evil and hurt those who shout for their rights with extremely vicious means? Are they even more hateful? They are also pitiful? They are very lamentable?

Tang Fang's indecision has always been an inadequate to the complex relationship of society. Speaking of which, he is very young, has a sense of justice that ordinary people have, and knows what good is, what evil is, what right is, and what is wrong. However, when he walked out of his small circle and faced the vast world, he deeply understood that society is not a clear pond that is either black or white, or a cat or a mouse, but a large dyeing vat injected with various colors and filth. How did he face various difficulties with the values ​​and outlook on life obtained from film and television books and his parents' selective words and deeds?

For a character like the Blade Queen, everything in the world can be solved through destruction. If the nobles take power, they will slaughter all the nobles. If the merchants eat profits, they will kill all the merchants. If the people compete for strength, they will slaughter them all. Is there any problem? No more.

This method is very cool, really cool, clean, simple and straightforward. But... can he do this? He can't because he is alone.

The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can use emotions and reason to regulate emotions and suppress impulses.

"what's on your mind?"

Alena's voice was heard, interrupting his random thoughts, and the sad face disappeared, turning into a smile: "I'm thinking that Kudlia is really a person who is not frank enough."

When he said this, his eyes shifted from the central large screen to the side electronic sandbox area. Tang Lin was working with Kudlia to study the internal environment of the cartel stellar system.

You should know that the main purpose of their operation was not to start a war, and there was no need to be too familiar with the internal environment of the star system and the deployment of the garrison navy. The two men knew what they thought, but stubbornly wasted their energy on the various data displayed on the electronic sandbox? It is worth thinking about.

Alena looked at him with a hint of complex emotions flashing through her pupils, and suddenly she covered her mouth and smiled: "Kudria... is completely incompatible with His Highness Mellor at this point."

After saying this, she glanced at Tang Fang's face and said, "Don't think I don't know you are changing the topic. What you just thought has nothing to do with Kudriya."

Tang Fang's eyelids twitched, his mouth was half opened, and he looked at her with a somewhat unexpected look.

"Your expression just now was a close-up of confusion and melancholy, not a presentation of fun and emotion." Alena said with a smile: "Just Eupie said, you are indeed a sentimental person."

Tang Fang gave her a fierce look, thinking that sentimentality is a description of a woman, and it should be described as worrying about the country and the people on him. However, on the surface, he didn't say much, because the clever Miss Alena could always find evidence to support her argument.

He has a deep understanding of the experience of never fighting with women. The old saying goes well: If a good man doesn’t fight with a woman, he can’t afford to mess with a man.

Of course, he did not have the time to discuss the detailed differences between sentimentality and concern for the country and the people with Miss Alena, because the Minotao battleship has entered the interior of the cartel star system and is switching navigation modes, sailing silently in the distant deep space outside Brady.

Looking at the light green planet on the central screen, he stood up from the captain's mat and said, "Where is Churchill and Hausen?" Although those two guys liked to be extravagant, they were better at obedient and were easy to use in prison robbery.

"They... seem to be still sleeping soundly." Alena slid the pda in her hand and replied.

She is Kudlia's adjutant and now boards the Minotao-class battleship cruiser. Considering that Eufe is not here, she naturally takes over the responsibility of the ship officer. It is precisely because of her approach that she can detect the subtle changes in Captain Tang's face more easily than others.

"Still sleeping?" Tang Fang's face looked a little bad. He didn't have to think about it and knew that the two knives must have drunk too much before. Then he still stayed in the room and slept soundly after the Minotao-class battleship arrived at his destination.

I don’t know if I heard the conversation between Tang Fang and Alena or remembered what I was going to do next, the two people who were originally focusing on the electronic sand table came over.

Tang Lin said: "Let them sleep. It's enough to have me accompany my elder brother to Brady Star."

He used to be a powerful "mixed-blood" warrior, but now he has become a white knight and his combat power has increased sharply. Not to mention facing the army of sovereign states, he is not inferior to the elite forces of the secret organization. Of course, he is qualified to speak like this.

Tang Fang nodded and was about to leave the bridge and go to the hangar. Unexpectedly, Kudriya caught up with them at this time, and said, "I want to go with you too."

Tang Fang looked back at Tang Lin, then looked at her, but didn't say anything. In fact, he had expected such an expansion, and was not surprised that Kudlia would ask to go with her.

Tang Lin was stunned for a moment, turned around and didn't want Kudlia to stare back with a fierce look.

Alena hesitated for a while, looked at the three people in front, then looked at the bridge behind, and finally sighed and chose to stay.

When Tang Fang walked to the door, he said: "Merol's sword was not for nothing. It protected our lives in the temple. Now... you must ensure Kudlia's safety."

The words were told to Tang Lin and to Kudriya. As for whether the two of them could understand his implicit meaning, that was their affairs.

……………………

15 minutes later, the hangar door on the left side of the Minotao-class battleship opened. Accompanied by a surging light, the Flying Eagle fighter jet drove into the dark void and flew towards Brady Star.

Emma sent a second piece of information in real time, which was some background information about Brady Star.

In fact, the decline of the cartel star system does not only originate from the siphon effect of the Hector Trade Corridor. Similar to the situation of the Aslam star system Crotan, Brady Star is also an old resource star. Due to long-term mining activities, the mineral resources in the formation are getting fewer and less and less development value. As mining institutions and smelting companies that have gained huge benefits here move away their main facilities, Brady Star is getting worse and worse, and eventually falls to its current level.

Tang Fang looked at the increasingly larger clouds of the planet on the other side of the porthole and felt that Brady Star was like a county town before traveling through. Because of her proximity to a big city, all kinds of resources and talents were sucked away. There were only elderly people walking on the streets at night, and few young people with a rich youthful atmosphere walked.

This is a kind of sorrow and a kind of helplessness.

Brady Star orbits two satellites, originally containing rich mineral resources, but over time, it was also hollowed out in long-term mining. Now they have become famous garbage stars, in exchange for some profits by containing various garbage from the Hector Trade Corridor, subsidizing planetary finances, and giving pensions and various allowances to those retired but do not live here.

Some people have criticized the local government for having great safety hazards and pollution problems, but a Geographic Research Institute expert certification issued by the Governor's Office explains the harmlessness of the behavior in scientific terms that civilians cannot understand. It is not only harmful, but also of great benefits. For example, the mines of two satellites are filled with garbage, so there is no need to worry about their mass reduction due to long-term mining, and there is a slight correction in the movement trajectory, which may threaten the safety of Brady Star in the near future. In short...it sounds very reasonable anyway.

Even if someone is concerned about this, when faced with those confused professional terms or custom new words, the most common reaction is to be confused and not know where to start.

When the Flying Eagle fighter jet sailed past Brady's first satellite, "Rogrey", you can see barges parked above the planet with your naked eyes for transporting garbage, and send compressed sealed packets to land covered with deep pits of all sizes.

Kudlia looked at the mining facilities in the distance and said in a cold voice: "Those people really think they can act recklessly? Nature will eventually be unable to bear it and vent their anger and hatred in their hearts."

Tang Fang said: "Even if that day really comes, the flames of anger and the torrent of hatred will not pour on those people."

She lowered her head when she heard this, looked at the light green planet under her feet, thinking yes, even if one day disaster strikes, those who have caused destruction have left here. Those who have endured the revenge of nature will only be the civilians who have worked hard to survive below.

She felt that there was a saying that was right, "You work hard because you don't have to work hard for some people." Of course, this is not a spiritual chicken soup about family affection... This is not a bowl of chicken soup at all.

Tang Lin didn't say anything, but focused on playing with the crystal particles in his palm that looked like fine sand. Sometimes it gathered into a dagger, sometimes it turned into a shield, sometimes it turned into a rocket, sometimes it turned into a sand spinning up in the air.

The Flying Eagle Fighter let a team of Thunderwing-class aerospace fighter that was conducting patrol missions go down into the atmosphere of Brady Star. The friction between the hull and the airflow triggers vortexes of all sizes, bringing a significant tremor to the cabin.

The automatic navigation system starts to start the reverse injector deceleration, and after a period of time, it enters the Brady Star stratosphere. The thick clouds that block the sight at the moment disappear, and the sky with little blue intentions spreads out at the other end of the porthole.

The warship's stealth system returned to normal, the optical camo that originally twisted quickly became smooth, and the display value of the instrument panel part fell.

Tang Fang moved his attention from the haze that shrouded the sky in the distance to the system space and ordered Emma to say, "Let's start."

According to the plan made before the action, after arriving at Brady Star, Emma will connect orbital satellites and inland wireless communication equipment through the star-orbit command center to find out the whereabouts or transfer records of the hostages in detail.

Screening suspicious information from massive information flow is a difficult task. Even if Emma has the assistance of the Star Track Command Center, it cannot be completed in a short time. So while the Flying Eagle fighter jet is heading towards the nearest continent, he used this time to continue browsing those less important background information.

The above information presents the situation of the Cartel Star System from a holistic level. The following part of the report is some relevant details, such as the various power agencies established by Duke Fromm Bessoni in the star system, the identity information of family members installed, and important military units...

However, what interested Tang Fang the most was a well-known historical event that happened to Brady Star. About when he was 17 years old, because of the unequal treatment of the two star systems under the control of Fromm Besony in the fields of economy, politics, people's livelihood, Brady Star had a global protest movement.
