There was something deeper in the meaning behind Lieutenant General Bai's words, and Su Xiaocai inexplicably understood it.
While the empire was in internal strife, the Ten-Star Republic was developing peacefully, and even its cutting-edge technology was becoming more advanced day by day. Even the number of people with special abilities was greater than theirs.
Their red eye disease naturally broke out.
They were quickly defeated in their first long-distance raid. It is estimated that unless they can break through the technological barriers within the next ten years, it will be difficult for them to attack again.
Su Xiaocai was more concerned about Zhang Jiali. "He's the deputy director of the Institute of Non-Humanity. Didn't they do anything about it?"
"No, Zhang Jiali has been the deputy director for many years. He is a radical person, but he has more connections than me. Without evidence, it's all empty talk. I just wonder how the spies and the Omniscience Cult are connected with the upper echelons of the empire. If it were you, what would you do?" Lieutenant General Bai asked Su Xiaocai.
Su Xiaocai was stunned and was suddenly stumped by the question.
She had never fought a war that was deliberately an invasion.
When waging war against her own kind, she would always resort to courtesy before force, and she did not like to invade other people's territory and cause trouble.
It's someone else's territory, and there are many historical problems left over, which require adjustments and are very troublesome.
So when I asked her, she really had no experience.
Su Xiaocai couldn't help but think about this question, "I might send a spy to learn about this place first."
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.
"Communication and transportation are becoming problems."
Su Xiaocai knocked on the table. The dull and rhythmic sound made her think faster.
"Then we should get someone in a high position of power to take charge. This person must have a say in the empire. In the Ten Star System, being low-key and mysterious will only arouse suspicion and could lead to reports at any time."
The power of the people is immense. The more covert they are, the quicker they'll be exposed. Su Xiaocai continued to speculate, "This person must be quite wealthy. The nature of his job allows him to move freely and be relatively inconspicuous. He has a private fleet that can help people smuggle across the border, and he can even disappear for a while without attracting attention."
Lieutenant General Bai nodded and smiled, "Your guess is pretty much what I thought."
"So where do you think people who can help people smuggle themselves across the border live?"
"It requires several conditions: someone who can roam the borderlands, have subordinates on remote planets, have influence on the capital planet or a commercial planet, and ideally, someone who can infiltrate the military." Su Xiaocai liked to squint when she was deep in thought. She felt like she had grasped something, "Omniscience."
Capital Star has power, corresponding to the Min family, and it is also a private hospital.
If there are subordinates on the remote planet, can they correspond to the armed forces of the orphanage and the pirate forces be involved?
Infiltrating the military, Zhang Jiali is a former general, a radical person, and is indeed easy to control.
So there is a high probability that there is something wrong with Zhang Jiali?
Without evidence, we cannot just suspect.
Who was sneaking across the border? There were too many targets. Bribing a few soldiers on duty would make it easy to sneak across the border, but how could they do it without attracting attention?
Smuggling is a very serious problem. We are not afraid of others smuggling away, but we are afraid of those who smuggle in.
Therefore, the Omniscient Church, spies, and people with special abilities, all connected together, are products of a treasonous organization.
"You don't have any doubts about the candidate?"
Lieutenant General Bai also felt very sorry about this. The universe is too vast, and even if the planets are covered by the Sky Eye, it is impossible to combat crime 100%, let alone a vast territory.
"I can't confirm it, but they'll always show up."
After the acupuncture, Lieutenant General Bai felt full of energy and was about to attack the barrier, but after a while, he gave up.
It seems that it still needs time to settle.
The conversation between the two was interrupted and stopped at the point.
Smart people know that further discussion will not produce any results, so it is better to wait for a while before discussing it.
"I heard you're joining a military training lab," Lieutenant General Bai asked. "Why don't you form your own team to work on this project? My superiors asked me to ask."
"Do they prefer me to do the project?" Su Xiaocai didn't think the people above would be willing to do so. Rebuilding the team would require a huge investment.
"They think you'll be much more efficient if you form your own team."
"Tsk." She didn't like what he said. "I'm busy. Mechas, mechanical limbs, games, and new worlds are all derivative products of my hard work over the past few years. I set up this project, but where will I find the manpower and the venue? Don't even mention it."
Lieutenant General Bai felt a little aggrieved. He didn't understand this. "You'll have free time now that you've joined the lab?"
"Because I understand technology, and with me joining, I can fill in the gaps when you don't understand technology." What does it mean? Funding.
The word is relevant.
The experimental group is also smart and is looking for a way out.
They have invested so much and the research and development time is not short. The grant is given in one lump sum first, then another lump sum when there is progress, and then more when there is hope.
Their research is stuck in the most uncomfortable place.
The sunk costs are too high.
It is difficult to move forward, and it is impossible to retreat. Being stuck in a dilemma, pulling her into the game is naturally the best option, which can ensure that the patent will be in the hands of the project team, rather than in the hands of other capitals.
Lieutenant General Bai stopped asking and was about to leave when he turned around and saw a mecha model. He remembered something and asked, "Have you developed your detachable star-destroying weapon?"
Looking at Su Xiaocai's speechless eyes, Lieutenant General Bai knew that he had asked another stupid question, "I wish you could be smarter."
"It would be nice if you had a more vivid imagination." It was just daydreaming. The research and development of weapons required great caution. Su Xiaocai didn't want to make one and blow herself up.
"Yes, and that party, you're not going, are you?"
"Well, no."
"It's right not to go. I wish you a happy holiday first." Lieutenant General Bai made it clear that the party was not a good one.
He was on vacation and in the army, so he had to save face. Su Xiaocai didn't have this concern.
