Chapter 279 "Don't Worry"

"Huh" ×3

The three people in the room breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and the tense and anxious atmosphere before was swept away.

Artorius looked at the expression of his childhood playmate beside him, and couldn't help but teasing:

"Sir, didn't you just say 'it's okay'? Why are you breathing heavily with me and Sir Perseus?"

Perseus on the other side also laughed after hearing this, and at the same time he was a little envious of this staff member who had grown up with Norton II.

Although Norton II had a good temper and treated his subordinates who didn't make mistakes well enough, he had only seen Astral who could talk to this lord like this.

"No, I'm not afraid of it exploding"

Norton II took out a translucent sheet from the metal box. This was a photosensitive chip used to store solidified information.

Because it cannot record complex information, it has become an extremely safe information storage container in this era where electronic viruses are everywhere.

"Because this date is divided into Russian and Western calendars in history, one is December 14, 1825, and the other is December 26, 1825.

I entered the Russian calendar date, so when I just opened it, I was very worried that Mr. Amber set the Western calendar date."

Norton II placed the photosensitive chip on the desk in this conference room, and quickly completed the reading and projected it.

Perseus and Astral took the initiative to sit on the other side at this time. The latter turned on the "anti-snooping" mode for Norton II before leaving.

"That's not necessary," Norton II said, looking at the two people sitting far away.

"My lord, please take a look first. If you think it's okay to reveal the information inside to us, it's not too late for us to take a look."

Artorius said with a smile. As a staff member of the regent, he knew that there were some things that he should not rush to see.

"Okay, then you two take a break, we've been discussing for so long."

Norton II did not comment on the two's actions. He looked at the 'gift' in front of him, which was a text sent to him by Amber.

"Mr. Regent, if you can see this text, it means that the 'struggle route' you want to take is consistent with my guess.

In this case, you must be very clear about the reasons why the December Party failed in history.

From your previous layouts and operations, you have also fallen into the same misunderstanding as those ancestors - relying too much on the so-called elite class within the empire, and hoping to quickly achieve your goals through simple military actions.

In this context, you sent people to contact us Atlas to obtain support for real-time communication technology. Obviously, you don't just want to strengthen the communication capabilities of your forces.

But you realize that the problems you are facing now are the same as those encountered by the December Party members back then.

Therefore, you have taken a fancy to the ability of this technology to transmit information over a large range, and want to trigger the thoughts of ordinary people within the empire, and then obtain the support of these ordinary people who account for the largest proportion.

In the end, you hope that this public opinion can completely ignite all the territories of the Star Dragon Empire.

Unfortunately, the war that your country launched against the Federation to vent domestic pressure has successfully diverted some contradictions, but it is still a A decision that lacks planning and foresight.

At present, your country's expeditionary strike group and strategic fortress are still within the Federation, but as long as you have a little understanding of the current general situation of the warring parties, it is not difficult to see that your country's expeditionary fleet has actually lost the ability to continue the attack.

If the Federation can make full use of their "home advantage", whether your country can hold on to the several galaxies that have been captured so far may need to be questioned.

It is absolutely risky to rashly launch a military coup under internal and external troubles, and the slightest carelessness will lead to catastrophic consequences.

For the above reasons, I personally suggest that you don't rush.

Rather than rashly launching a coup when the future is unknown, it is better to postpone the "last moment" you set.

Let the thoughts of the people ferment for a longer time, and at the same time accumulate more strength, and choose a suitable time in the more distant future to complete your "great cause".

In order to help you achieve this, let me sincerely recommend to you the annual package project of our Atlas Group's latest "Exclusive Edition" ultra-long-distance real-time communication technology service."

Seeing this, Norton II finally realized what "the dagger is revealed when the picture is exhausted" means.

"Heh, this guy's map of Yan is quite long."

"My Lord, what did you say?"

The two people on the other side of the desk were a little unresponsive to Norton II's sudden words.

"Hahahaha, I think Mr. Amber is a real businessman, take a look."

Norton II clicked a few times on the virtual keyboard of the desk, and the holographic projection device projected the contents of the light-sensing chip in front of the other two.

When they saw the first sentence of this text message, the expressions of Astral and Perseus became serious.

And every time they read a sentence, their brows would frown.

When they saw the last part, even Perseus's face couldn't relax.

"My Lord, is there a traitor?"

Astral raised his head and looked at Norton II with a serious face.

At this moment, the attitude of this staff member towards Atlas and Amber completely changed.

If Astral was still thinking about cooperation with Atlas before, now he is only thinking about how to make Amber disappear from this world.

He never expected that this 'businessman' who was far away in the Federation would actually know about the regent's coup plan and the related 'operational details'.

It was as if he was in a secret meeting, watching everyone in the Regent's staff make relevant plans.

"No, this shouldn't be a problem with the mole. If there is really a mole who can leak so much content, then we don't need to continue. Let's go home and be safe.

Moreover, there are still many discrepancies in some details in what this 'Mr. Amber' said, so I guess this is a conclusion he derived by himself. "

Norton II spoke calmly, seemingly without any emotional fluctuations at all because of this 'gift' from afar.

"How is this possible?!" Astral's eyes widened even more. It was obvious that he thought the regent's statement was too 'fantasy'.

"But that's the fact. He really deduced the general direction very accurately. He even roughly guessed my next plan. Hahaha, it's really amazing."

Norton II smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "This is this universe, and there are new surprises every day. It's magical."

"Sir, this is a 'shock' not a 'surprise'."

A cold glint flashed in Astral's eyes, and he was no longer in the mood for teasing.

Almost everyone had guessed the 'big plan' of his own camp, which was simply a horror story to him.

"How about taking advantage of the fact that the incident has not yet spread, and the news has not spread widely enough, and strike first?"

"How do you want to start? Send someone to assassinate him?

Not to mention that the other party has been operating within the Federation and the Thousand Star Empire, it will take a lot of time just to find the person.

Even if you could find the person, would a normal assassin be able to kill the psyker? "

Norton II shook his head and rejected this plan with a low success rate.

"Actually, the reason why Mr. Amber asked Mr. Perseus to bring back this 'gift' is also very simple. He even wrote it directly.

"You want us to postpone the coup, and at the same time, you want us to buy their services?" Astral said with some uncertainty.

"That's right."

"I can understand the second point, but the first point. What does he want?"

"Humph, what are you trying to do?" Norton II sneered, "He is very ambitious and wants to get a share of this mess."

"No, does he have this ability?"

"Maybe he really does."

As soon as Norton II said these words, Astral immediately thought of all the things Perseus said after returning this time, and then immediately grasped the key points.

"I understand, sir. He does have this ability, but only if he and Atlas are given a certain amount of time to develop."

"Yes, this is the deep meaning behind his 'gift'."

——

"Master, do you really plan to cooperate with the Prince Regent?"

On the spaceship heading to the Tower of Babel, Amber, who was dealing with some company affairs, suddenly heard Lilith in her head ask this question.

Naturally, he would not hide the matter of "preparing a gift" for the regent from Lilith, and the strong artificial intelligence had always been curious about his motives.

"No, I don't plan to cooperate." Amber replied calmly.

"Then Master, why did you ask Perseus to bring the 'gift' you prepared to the Prince Regent?"

“First, if you don’t do business when it comes to your door, it will be in vain.

Second, I really hope that the regent can delay the coup and give Atlas some more windows. "

Amber stopped what she was doing, relaxed and leaned back on the chair, and then continued:

“In the next war between the Empire and the Federation, including the chaos that may break out in the future, there will be no so-called allies or I never intend to be bound to any party.

Because I don’t trust any external forces, I don’t intend to form an alliance with anyone. At most, I will let them become our customers of Atlas. "

"Master, you are so greedy. That's why you need enough time to develop so that Atlas has enough strength to conduct transactions with all parties?"

Lilith's tone was full of exclamations, and it was obvious that she was also succumbed to Amber's greed of 'eating from both ends'.

"Wealth is sought in danger, Lilith~" Amber shook her head,

"To be honest, Atlas is not a serious enterprise. If we want to develop rapidly, we must have the courage to draw chestnuts from the fire."

"Haha, whatever you say, then what are you going to do with Princess Agnes's invitation now?"

"Tsk, this is really a problem."
