Chapter 301 The Situation in the Empire Needs to Be Balanced! The Black Gloves of the Giant Enterprise!

Baron Barron was silent for a while, but soon he realized the key point, that is, the Harkonnen family and the Universal Corporation actually have no fundamental advantages and disadvantages.

This interstellar battle is essentially to destroy the royal family and the lackey Harkonnen's troops, so that the executive of the Universal Corporation can become the God Emperor.

But lackeys can also recognize new masters!

Moreover, after today, the Atreides family will inevitably grow stronger. Since Leon will become the new emperor, doesn't it mean that he also needs a lackey to continue to clamp down on Atreides?

The political structure of the empire needs balance.

For so many years, the Harkonnen family has played the role of a standard villain in the empire, helping the royal family to check and suppress various families.

Facing the rising Atreides family, Barron doesn't believe that Leon has no intention of checking and balancing Atreides!

Immediately, Barron turned around and shouted excitedly at Song Zhaomei: "I can also talk, I can also support the Universal Giant Enterprise, and support the executive of the Giant Enterprise to ascend the throne of the Divine Emperor!"

"I am the patriarch of the Harkonnen family. There are many imperial people who obey me. With my support, whether it is other families or other civilians, they will follow and support the Giant Enterprise."

Barron's words were to show Song Zhaomei his value. Whether in terms of ability or appeal, he is not inferior to Duke Leto at all. Except for his character, he is not weak in other aspects.

Duke Leto was somewhat surprised to see that Barron's reaction speed was so fast. He really underestimated the political awareness of this old dog. He actually found a way to redeem himself in an instant.

At this moment, Leon, who was far away at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Base, laughed out loud instantly. If it were an ordinary person, after hearing such a story, he would only be confused and surrender, and wait for death on the spot.

But Barron grasped the main contradiction and showed his value to Song Zhaomei. With this kind of courage and insight, he is fully worthy of the role of a villain.

[This guy is indeed not simple. No wonder he can sit in the Harkonnen family and be the lord of the revival for so long. He is a powerful person. ]

Listening to the evaluation given by the boss Li Ang, Song Zhaomei asked in a low voice whether to accept Barron's plea for mercy.

[No hurry, you continue to ask, ask more things. ]

Li Ang smiled and said that he actually had a good impression of most villains. The reason why these rebels lost was often not because of poor brains or poor plans.

It was just a lack of luck.

In this "Dune" universe conquest operation, Li Ang not only needs to get the Atreides family out of crisis and start to rise, but also needs an opponent to clamp down on the Atreides.

And the Harkonnen family is Li Ang's established choice, but whether it can succeed depends on the mental means of this old guy Barron and whether his attitude can satisfy Li Ang.

So far, Barron's attitude is quite good, and Leon is willing to give him a chance to live.

"Yes, I understand."

After finishing the conversation with Leon, Song Zhaomei looked at Baron Barron again, but she did not respond to Barron's surrender, but remained silent, motioning Duke Leto to continue questioning.

Seeing Song Zhaomei's appearance, Leto couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart. It seems that the Universal Corporation does not intend to keep the Harkonnen family!

Without the control of the Harkonnen family, Atreides can be regarded as a real fish in the sea.

Seeing that Song Zhaomei ignored him, Barron thought he had no way out. After racking his brains to think about it, he said to Leto:

"Let me go, I can give you the Jadi Star, including the location of the Harkonnen family's treasure that only I know, and tell you all."

Jadi Star is the only bargaining chip that Barron can take out for negotiation. Apart from the family's treasure and that developed planet, Barron has nothing else.

But in the face of Barron's plea, Leto shook his head and smiled, "I think you are really confused. The current Jedi Star no longer belongs to you. As for the treasure, I have plenty of time to slowly look for it."

"You don't need to tell me."

After the voice fell, Baron Barron was choked on the spot. Although he was very unhappy, Leto's words were right, and he had no reason to refute.

"I only ask you one question now."

Duke Leto moved closer to the other party, looked directly at Barron, and said in a serious voice: "Where is Dr. Yue's wife Wana."

Leto did not agree to Dr. Yue's request on the surface, but he still wanted to help his former retainer for the last time, so he specifically mentioned this sentence.

"Is this the question you want to ask? Hehehe..."

Baron Barron laughed out loud. He thought Leto would judge his crimes and force him to surrender or execute himself.

In the end, he asked such a simple question. It seems that his life is still up to the decision of the giant Universal Corporation behind the scenes.

In just a moment, Barron realized that Leto, who seemed to be in a prosperous situation, was actually quite controlled by others. As long as he made a fuss about the interests of the giant company, he could survive!

And the interests of the giant company require a family to clamp down on the Atreides family and check and balance Duke Leto. Barron must let Leon see that he has such ability.

Soon, Barron had a new countermeasure in his mind.

"That woman is in my hands, but she is living a life worse than death now."

Barron sneered: "She was transformed into a mechanical spider by my nephew Laban. First, his hands and feet were cut off, and spices were used to control her to become my plaything. To be honest, that woman is quite obedient."

"She will do whatever you ask her to do. She is proficient in playing, playing and singing. She is such a fun thing!"

Barron said with an intoxicated look.

Upon hearing this, Leto immediately realized that the Laban Baron was talking about was his cruel nephew with the nickname of the Beast. No one who fell into his hands would end well.

But now, Laban has been turned into scum by the people of the Astronautical Guild, and it can be regarded as retaliation.

At this time, Duke Leto took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in his heart. He stared at the other party fiercely and asked:

"So, you never planned to return Dr. Yue's wife to him from the beginning."

Barron seemed very indifferent to Leto's question. He showed his despicable and shameless style and said with a proud smile:

"Yes, he is Doctor Suk. Who knows if that guy is really helping me."

"Capturing that stinky bitch Vana is not really a trick at all. It's just a normal move. I didn't expect Dr. Yue to be quite powerful. He really shut down your shielding field."

Barron's inadvertent words immediately made Leto's face darken. He was indeed disgusted.

How could a conspirator's disgusting little tricks be able to casually ruin a loyal retainer and backstab his own family leader at all costs!

This feeling is like my own Bai Yueguang girl, who was suddenly abducted by a little yellow guy outside the school, stood up and kicked her, got pregnant, and finally dropped out of school in disgrace.

Everyone was ridiculing and talking about her dissolute behavior, but only he remembered her in the sun, the smile she gave him, and every bit of the past.

Although Dr. Yue is not a high-ranking minister in the Atreides family and cannot participate in major military and political affairs, in other aspects, he is no doubt a close relative.

So when he learned about Dr. Yue's betrayal, Leto would feel very uncomfortable and depressed.

From Duke Leto's fleeting look of frustration, Barron could see the other's mood. He immediately added insult to injury, trying to get Leto to break his defense:

"Hahahaha! That guy named Dr. Yue is really obedient. He can be deceived by me in just a few words. I should really let him poison you and kill your whole family."

"I'm sure he will do it!"

A villain like Barron who always does bad things knows how to poke at a person's pain points, and his words can always hit everyone's inner weakness accurately.

The reason why Barron dared to be mean in front of Leto was precisely because he realized that the other party was not the real person behind the scenes, and it was not his turn to judge him.

As long as he can show his ability to control Leto to the world's giants and make them angry, then his chances of survival will be greater.

One thing defeats another. Among the major families in the empire, only I am Duke Leto's opponent, and the others are not worthy at all!

Sure enough, when he heard this, Duke Leto instantly broke through the red temperature. He was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "That's enough!"

Now that he has gotten the answer he wants, Leto has nothing more to ask Barron. If he has to ask, Leto will only ask how the other person wants to die.

But he doesn't have the power.

After all, Barron was Li Ang's prisoner, not Leto's. It was not his turn to execute Barron yet.

[Go up and talk to him. 】

After seeing what Barron said, Li Ang couldn't help but admire that Barron was a good villain, and he was extremely talented at playing with people's mentality.

After hearing the instructions from Li Ang, Song Zhaomei walked out. She looked at Barron who was sneering and said bluntly:

"Baron Barron, you are a smart man. Since everyone is a smart man, let's talk like a smart man. On behalf of the giant companies in the world, I can forgive you for your crimes."

"You can be free again."

"But what you have to do is to obey the orders of the giant company unconditionally. Can you do it?"

Seeing that the long-awaited recruitment link was finally here, Barron was so excited that he nodded hurriedly to express that he could do it, as if he was afraid that Song Zhaomei would regret it.

"Of course, I am willing to obey all arrangements of the giant company in the world and am absolutely loyal!"

Barron glanced at Leto, who was extremely disgusted by him, and his heart was filled with joy.

He knew that this kid was just a pawn, and he had to continue to let himself, a villain, pester the Atreides family.

"Well, the first order from the executive officer of the giant company is that you cannot kill Peter, he must continue to stay with you for use."

Song Zhaomei knew that Peter was the Mentate of the Harkonan family, and was well aware of Harkonan's resource distribution and industrial situation.

Keeping him will allow the world's giants to have a clearer understanding of the Harkonnen family, making it easier for the giants to take over and uniformly distribute the interests of the empire.

Mentate's role is equivalent to replacing the computer's complex calculations. They have a clear understanding of all internal affairs of the family, from finance to personnel transfer and other information, all in their minds.

Of course, letting Peter stay with Baron Baron is also to disgust him, and to lead others to betray him, he should also bear the feeling of being betrayed.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Barron's face suddenly froze. He had just thought about eating Peter alive after he went out.

But Song Zhaomei's words directly blocked this road and allowed a Mentaite who had betrayed him to continue to work for him. Isn't this just disgusting!

This disgusting feeling is like marrying a 35-year-old divorced woman with two children, who also asks for a dowry and a car, and two of the children are "Haier brothers" with one white and one black.

However, even if it was disgusting to this extent, Barron still agreed without hesitation.

Compared with his own life, he could still accept this personal grudge.

Seeing Barron blushing with frustration, but being able to bend and stretch, Leon became more interested in Barron. The Harkonnen and the Atreides family are really a pair of natural nemesis enemies.

It's not bad to keep them, so that I don't have to spend my mind to guard against the Atreides family.

Although the Universal Corporation has the United Intelligence Bureau and the Intelligence Department to monitor the employees and other forces of various universes at any time, the role of surveillance is often not as good as maintaining a balance.

A balanced political structure can ensure sufficient stability.

Once the Atreides family becomes powerful, supporting other small families is an inevitable decision. In this case, it is better to keep the Harkonnen family to play this role.

"Well, the second requirement is that I order you to fully cooperate with the integration of the Atreides family and recruit other families to submit to the Universal Corporation."

"You do whatever I ask you to do."

Song Zhaomei's order was to vent Duke Leto's anger. Leto could order the people of the Harkonnen family at will, even if they were just cannon fodder.

Obviously, this requirement was also Leon's intention to intensify the conflict between the two families. Species like humans are actually the least afraid of tossing and consuming. Leaving the Harkonnen family is just right to wear down the Atreides.

In addition, after this battle, the Universal Corporation will definitely make a concerted effort to completely integrate the Dune universe.

But other families are still immersed in the dream of grabbing territory and becoming emperors. Leon also needs the Harkonnen and Atreides families to join forces to wake up these excited ambitious people.

If these families can be forced to surrender as soon as possible and support Leon to become the God-Emperor, then the time for the Universal Corporation to integrate the Dune universe will be greatly shortened.

This can reduce many unnecessary casualties.

Baron Barron naturally agreed to this request without any psychological burden. After all, he was not working for the Atreides family, so he would not feel sorry for the death of many of his subordinates.

Seeing that Barron performed well throughout the whole process and expressed his attitude of actively cooperating with the giant enterprise to integrate the "Dune" universe, Leon did not say anything more.

Although the Harkonnen family's style of doing things is indeed a bit disgusting, they are really obedient. Whatever Emperor Shaddam says is what it is, Baron Barron did not complain at all.

Compared with the old shaman like Duke Leto who relied on the Lansgard Federation to seize the royal power, Barron's stains are completely dispensable.

What's more, the giant enterprise always needs some disgusting people to do disgusting things. Tools like black gloves will never be too much for the superiors.

After interrogating Barron on other matters, Song Zhaomei and Duke Leto temporarily left the room and came to the corridor outside.

Although Leto was furious with Barron and wanted to roast the fat man to feed the dogs, he did not dare to question Leon's treatment.

Leto knew that Leon did this just to keep an opponent to keep an eye on him. Leto had no way to deal with this. He could only behave more honestly than Barron to lead the family to live better.

After all, the Universal Corporation did not break its promise to him. Leon did intend to push the Atreides family to the first family of the empire, and even let the Harkonnen family be their younger brother.

As long as the Atreides family did not rebel and play the backstab, they would basically sit firmly in the top position of the major families. Duke Leto was quite satisfied with this.

If you don't commit suicide, you won't die.

Since you can be admitted successfully by honestly following and continuing to work, no normal person has much motivation to rebel. Stable year-end dividends and high-risk entrepreneurship, anyone who is not stupid knows which to choose.

At this time, Hawat on the side remembered something. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Duke Leto, saying:

"My lord, this is a handwritten letter from the head of the Space Guild. I have checked the letter and you can read it with confidence."

Looking at the exquisite and gorgeous letter paper, Leto nodded, then asked Hawat to open it and read it in front of Song Zhaomei.

"Yes!"

Immediately, Hawat repeated the contents of the letter paper. The letter written by the Space Guild was nothing more than helping to catch Baron Barron and begging for mercy from the Atreides Family.

I hope Leto will take into account the old relationship and let them go.

Hearing the words of the Space Guild's fence-sitters, Leto was so angry that he couldn't help laughing. If they really wanted to surrender to the Atreides Family, they should have tied up Emperor Shaddam here.

What's the point of keeping Baron Barron? It would be better to help him and kill this evil beast with one knife.

Duke Leto casually threw the letter on the ground, his eyes full of disdain. What was the point of sending Baron Barron? The key figure was Emperor Shaddam.

If they could capture Emperor Shaddam, the power of the Galactic Empire would be changed. Even if a Harkonnen family escaped, it would be useless.

From Baron Barron's self-narration, Leto had learned about the current situation of the Harkonnen family. In order to fight this battle, they had burned all their property and owed a lot of money to others.

Even if the Harkonnen people fled back to Jedi Star, they would not be able to regroup for a while.

But the Corino royal family is different. Even if they have to fight off all the Sadokas, they can still rely on their strong political appeal to organize a large ground army.

This will inevitably affect the integration progress of the giant enterprise.

The Space Guild kept Baron Barron and tried to show goodwill to the Atreides family, while letting Emperor Shaddam go and encouraging the royal family to make a comeback.

For this typical double-dealer, Leto just wanted to chop them all off. What's more, the Space Guild relied on the technological advantages of interstellar navigation and cheated the Atreides family of their money in the past.

It's a pity that it's not up to him, the duke, to decide on the liquidation of the Space Guild. The final fate of this group of people can only be left to Leon to decide.
