After listening to Meryl's message, Secretary Bucks immediately came to find Lan Shan.

The dance is coming to an end, and the guests have begun to leave. Lan Shan is saying goodbye to Prince Jeff - His Majesty Devin III is in poor health. After delivering a New Year's speech on the Fountain Square, he left the seat in a low-key manner. The representative of the organizer became his son, Prince Jeff.

Prince Jeff is thin, his soft blonde hair and deep eyebrows and eyes make him full of artistic atmosphere, and he has unconcealed appreciation in his eyes when he looks at Lan Shan.

"General Lanshan, I wonder if you mind if I create a work based on the military exercises at your inauguration ceremony?"

His Highness Jeff is a painter who has high attainments in painting art.

"Of course not," Lan Shan said she didn't mind. She was very honored to be the theme of His Royal Highness's paintings. It's just that Prince Jeff has always been in love with scenery and characters. This time he actually wanted to use military exercises as the theme of the paintings, which was a bit surprising.

"General Lanshan, your military exercises gave me great inspiration," Prince Jeff explained with a smile, and as he said, the artist's unique enthusiasm rays surged in his eyes, "The overwhelming starship, the mighty mecha warrior, grand, powerful, solemn, shocking, the fusion of fire and blood, the moment you appeared, the picture was moving to the extreme! The word beauty is not enough to describe it, it is more like a will that dominates everything and enters the picture..."

Lan Shan, "—"

If he followed the Star Wars Army to the battlefield to observe actual combat, he would definitely get more inspiration.

The description full of artistic abstraction was not finished, and Director Bucks walked in front of the two.

Prince Jeff was still very decent when he didn't talk about art. Seeing him coming to Lan Shan, he ended the conversation politely.

Secretary Bacchus looked at the tall and thin back of Prince Jeff leaving and said to Lan Shan, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has had close contacts with General Gauguin's daughter recently. There are rumors that the royal family and the Gao family are interested in marriage."

Lan Shan, "General Gauguin probably wanted to use the status of His Royal Highness to raise the family's status. It doesn't matter, as long as it is not Gao Li marrying the daughter of Duke Avery."

Secretary Bucks thought so, but Duke Avery reached a consensus with General Aaron. In addition, his daughter is still young, so they don’t have to worry about this for the time being, so they simply answered, “That’s it.”

I don’t know if it’s because I have been with Prince Lance for too long, but Secretary Bucks also has a somewhat aristocratic temperament. His light gray hair is always meticulously combed, his delicate dress has no wrinkles, and his words and deeds are standard and self-conscious. He can be used to demonstrate at any time in etiquette classes.

Standing in front of Lan Shan, he asked in a calm tone, "General, Captain Meryl said you are going to visit General Song early tomorrow morning?"

Lan Shan looked a little serious, "Yes, I just communicated with Colonel Carter. On behalf of his father, he made it clear that Carter Energy Company decided not to continue its partnership with the First Legion and would cancel our 5% discount when purchasing energy stones."

Mr. Bucks' first reaction to this was also puzzled, "How could they make such a decision? They invested a lot in the early stage, and suddenly interrupting cooperation at this time would be a considerable loss for Carter Energy."

Lan Shan, "The reason is not clear. Colonel Carter said that this is his father's intention. Mr. Carter wants to maintain a long-term friendly and cooperative relationship with the Second Legion, so he doesn't want to continue to cooperate with us anymore, but I think this reason is not valid. Mr. Carter is a businessman and does not participate in politics. There is no overlap between us and the Second Legion. Being able to get the support of the two Legion will only benefit and not harm his business."

The first huge sponsorship payment from Carter Energy Company to the First Legion was brought by Lan Shan personally, and the staff team did not participate, so the Chief Bucks asked Lan Shan carefully if he wanted them to intervene, "Do you want me to arrange someone to investigate?"

Lan Shan agreed, "Well, check it carefully. It's strange that Carter Energy Company made such a decision. It's completely harmful to terminate our cooperation with us now. I don't remember that I personally or the First Legion had offended Mr. Carter recently."

Secretary Bucks wrote down, "Okay, I'll tell Secretary Du Wei later and ask him to arrange someone to investigate," he said, "I think the reason for this matter is not necessarily Mr. Carter, and his son Colonel Carter also needs to focus on investigation."

He knew that Lan Shan and Colonel Carter had a good personal relationship, so he mentioned it first.

Lan Shan's inquiring eyes indeed fell on his face, "Do you think it may be Colonel Carter's reason? Why?"

Secretary Bucks replied, "The matter between Mr. Carter and his son is usually decided by his son Colonel Carter."

Lan Shan's expression remained unchanged, and she nodded and signaled him to continue.

Mr. Bucks, "This is what I said when I accidentally heard Prince Lance and Duke Avery talk about. At that time, General Gauguin's son Gao Li had some conflicts with his father and refused to go home and stayed at the military academy to teach. Everyone said that General Gauguin was too indulgent about his son, but Duke Avery thought it was nothing in private. He said that in fact, the person who obeyed his son the most instructed to his son was Mr. Carter. It is said that he had never refused any requests his son made to him since he was a child. Until Colonel Carter was twelve years old, he suddenly became interested in interstellar geology, and within a month his father was connected.

I bought three medium-sized mineral stars and used all the working capital on Carter Energy Company's books at that time, which aroused Princess Anne's alertness and controlled the two of them. At that time, Duke Avery was very moved. Fortunately, Princess Anne was a clear-minded and strong woman. She took back the right to education from her husband in time and put her son's personality back on track. Otherwise, Mr. Carter's son would not know what to develop into. So I think Colonel Carter should have a considerable say in the decision-making of Carter Energy Company. It is just an excuse to say that he cannot continue to cooperate with us."

Lan Shan raised her eyes and saw from a distance that the beautiful Princess Anne was holding her son's arm and saying goodbye to Prince Jeff. Mr. Carter, who was not handsome and stood patiently next to them.

Princess Anne should be in a good mood tonight, and she kept talking to Prince Jeff with a smile on her face - she is the aunt of His Royal Highness, so it is normal to say a few more words when she is in a good mood.

The rumors that Mr. Carter and the royal family had always been in a disagreement should be true. They were silently with their wife all night and had almost never spoken to any royal family member.

At this time, probably because he had been waiting for too long, he whispered something to his son, Colonel Carter. Colonel Carter shook his head impatiently. Mr. Carter said a few more words, but he still shook his head. Mr. Carter then returned to silence.

Seeing that Lan Shan didn't say anything for a long time, Secretary Bucks planned to skip this topic about Colonel Carter first. After all, Colonel Carter and General Lan Shan had a good personal relationship. It would be better to have evidence to talk about this kind of doubt.

Just as he was about to speak, Lan Shan spoke, his tone was a little light, "Okay, let's focus on investigating Colonel Carter. But I hope you are more cautious in doing things and try not to let Colonel Carter notice that we are investigating him."

Secretary Bucks nodded.

Lan Shan, "Send a fleet to the Tianma Galaxy, expedition to the Pira Star Domain, and last month's military exercises consumed a large amount of our reserve energy stones. If the funds are not in place, Carter Energy Company will cancel another 5% price discount, and the First Legion will soon face a shortage of energy stones. In addition, it is not difficult to raise funds and recruit other energy stone suppliers, but we cannot afford it during this period. The Third Legion has been increasing troops to the Shallow Water system. Major General Darren also asked me for reinforcements yesterday. Now even if Major General Zhou Yi is notified as quickly as possible to transport a batch of energy stones from the Tianma Galaxy to come back for emergency response, it will take at least three months, so I will visit General Song early tomorrow morning and talk to him about cooperation. Otherwise, we will definitely not be able to protect the Shallow Water system and will be swallowed up by the Third Legion."

The Shallow Water Galaxy is a super-large galaxy that is farthest towards the Ireto universe in the Demosen Empire. It is far away from the territory of the Second Legion, and the boundaries of the sphere of influence of the First Legion and the Third Legion have been very blurred here.

This was not a big deal, because although the Shallow Water galaxy is large in scale, it is relatively barren. About 80% of the planets are deserted stars and there are no resources to use, so it doesn't matter who takes up more or less.

However, just when the First Legion sent troops to the Pira Star Domain, the geological exploration of the shallow Water Galaxy made a huge breakthrough and found that the deep minerals on many planets are rich in Eugene gold sand.

Eugene Gold Sand is a real precious metal in the interstellar era. It is very rare and widely used. It can be circulated directly as a currency between various regions of the interstellar world.

So the shallow Water system, which no one cares about, immediately became a must-fight place!

In his busy schedule, the First Legion forced a medium fleet to rush to the Shallow Water System. After Lan Shan's inauguration ceremony, he immediately sent Major General Darren to take his Bru fleet to rush over.

The third legion, which was already idle, naturally had to take action. Both sides were at a strife and kept increasing troops to the Shallow Water system. If the supply of energy stones could not keep up at this critical moment, they would definitely lose!

Secretary Bucks knew that the situation was a bit tricky at the moment, but he felt that he had to make a long-term plan to pull the Second Legion to help. General Song was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his appetite would never be smaller than General Gao Geng. "Do you want me to notify the staff team to meet urgently tomorrow morning to discuss the specific plan, and then go to talk to the Second Legion?"

Lan Shan, "No, it's too late. The time we use to think deeply can also be used to think deeply. So I must talk to him about cooperation before General Song got the news. Before he had time to think carefully, he even got the news."

General Song was extremely smart. When he really realized that the First Legion was in an extraordinary period and had to cooperate with them, he didn't know what conditions would be proposed.

…………

Admiral Song is a person with strong self-control and rarely lets anything affect his emotions. However, even so, he feels that this year's Royal New Year dance is the worst dance he has ever attended.

Of course, nothing particularly bad happened, but he just was in a bad mood, so he felt physically and mentally exhausted after returning home.

The dance ended in the middle of the night. He returned to his luxurious mansion to wash and change clothes slowly. Finally, he processed a little documents and went to bed until the morning.

However, after lying for a long time, he still couldn't fall asleep.

General Song still had work the next day, so he didn't want to use sleep aid drugs. Moreover, it was nothing for him to stay up for an hour, so he got up and put on some clothes and walked towards the largest living room downstairs.

There are Mo Ran's videos in every room in his residence, but the most comprehensive collection is found in the living room downstairs. General Song often sits in and watches for half an hour. This is his way to adjust his mentality.

That person's life was magnificent, ups and downs, encountered countless difficulties, and faced countless difficulties calmly. That person was always tenacious and calm and could never be defeated.

General Song can regain his state by watching Mo Ran's documentary quietly for a while, as if Mo Ran's tenacity and strength are infectious, and he can gain strength from it.

There was the voice of Captain Balat in the living room. General Song thought he was packing something with the guards, and without thinking too much, he walked in.

However, as soon as he entered, he was stunned.

This room is not a reception room, but a place where Song Shang used his daily anti-loosening rest. It is wide in area, with imitation starry sky ceiling and black diamond star animal leather sofa.

Now, a guest in a well-equipped military uniform sat on the black diamond star animal leather sofa, which was not supposed to be hospitalized. It was Lan Shan.

General Song was extremely surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lan Shan also rarely showed a bit of unexpected expression. The image of General Song is really rare.

He wore a pair of light-colored trousers, loosely put on a shirt, and casually buttoned the two buttons in the middle. He could see the tight and beautiful chest muscles on the top, and the tight and beautiful abdominal muscles on the bottom.

To be honest, he has a good image and a perfect figure. When he is dressed rigorously, he highlights his elegant demeanor. Now he is very casual and looks sexy and charming.

However, what General Song felt was the embarrassment. The person in front of him was an admiral of the same level as him. His dress was really out of tune!

General Song felt chest tightness. Why did he encounter such a thing at his own home?

When I looked at Captain Balat, I almost had the urge to remove him from his position as Captain.

Captain Bharat was very unfair.

Admiral Lanshan came to visit early in the morning and politely left all her guards outside the villa's cordon and came in by herself. She is now an imperial general. He can't let an admiral stand at the door and wait!
Chapter completed!
