Targeting the shipping sector is just the beginning.
As people from both camps opened fire everywhere, more departments were drawn in.
They reported on each other, complained and attacked each other.
The Ministry of Fertility is plagued by serious corruption, some officials at the Ministry of Energy are colluding with technology companies, and nepotism is rampant within the Ministry of Culture.
Many problems were unspoken rules in the past, and everyone turned a blind eye to them, but now they are all exposed, and many officials are being brought down every day.
In the face of irrefutable evidence, Zhou Yao and Yu Hong could not defend themselves to the death.
When this trend continued for a long time, the administrative efficiency of Xinggong was significantly reduced.
In particular, the shipping department, which was at the center of the storm, was subject to a comprehensive review. As a result, major problems arose in public transportation on the Tianwu Continent. Congestion became the norm, and various accidents occurred frequently.
But for the top leaders, none of this matters. Attacking political opponents is more important than people's livelihood.
…
Senior researcher Zhu Wen secretly signed an information agreement with Guangling Technology Company. This was revealed in a meeting this morning. He will be investigated.
"Zhu Wen?"
Chen An is preparing candidates for the Leap Research Center, and Zhu Wen is one of them.
He displayed the list on the screen and crossed out Zhu Wen.
"Since he has problems himself, I will definitely not protect him."
Just as he crossed out his name, Zhu Wen called and asked Chen An for help.
Chen An asked him, "How far have you gone?"
Zhu Wen replied tremblingly, "I just revealed some technological development information to Guangling. For example, the Ministry of Science and Technology will achieve results in terminal data transmission, so Guangling can make plans in this industry in advance."
"only?"
This behavior is a serious collusion between officials and businessmen, and will have a negative impact on the overall business environment.
Chen An didn’t know how many such people there were in the Ministry of Science and Technology, but he would definitely not protect them, after all, the evidence was conclusive.
After hanging up the call, Fuyao reminded that there was a problem with Xuanji Star.
[Star Region No. 3 is Yu Hong's territory, but Xuanji Star is related to us. Zhou Jiang must choose a side. Now it's very troublesome.]
Chen An said, "Isn't this simple? Let Zhou Jiang break away from me and stand on Yu Hong's side."
If he did not stand with Yu Hong, he would definitely be repeatedly investigated and attacked by the governor or the chief of military affairs, and they would attack him as soon as any problem was found.
There is no absolute distinction in standing on the side. For example, Xiao Zhen is in the Lieyang Legion and he will definitely stand with Yu Hong.
For a period of time thereafter, I don’t know whether Yu Hong’s people shifted their targets and continued to attack Chen An’s people, and problems broke out one after another in the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Chen An is very calm. As long as the evidence is true, he will do what needs to be done.
But if he were to frame someone at random, he would definitely launch a counterattack and use the information gap to bring the other party down.
This atmosphere lasted for two months, causing chaos in the upper echelons of the Star Palace and making everyone feel insecure.
Two months later something changed, not for the better, but for the worse.
With a deafening bang, Starport No. 9 exploded, the intense flames dyed the sky red, and countless steel fragments shot around like meteors.
The spaceship was chopped into pieces, the battleship was severely damaged, and many fragments fell to the mainland.
The garrison was dispatched urgently and intercepted some of the debris, but a lot of it still caused damage on the surface.
This was the first time since the two sides began fighting that there had been large-scale public casualties.
…
[It is estimated that the death toll from the explosion exceeded 170,000, most of whom were staff members of the starport and civilians passing through.]
There are three layers of defense inside the Tianwu Continent, and each layer has a star port checkpoint.
The starport where the explosion occurred was located in the inner layer, which is also the area with the most passengers coming and going, and even affected the high-speed waterway below.
"Who did it?"
[Currently unknown, the Starport network has completely collapsed]
The investigation came out three days later, pointing the finger at the pirates.
According to official reports, more than a dozen pirates broke into the starport control area and used miniature fusion bombs to detonate the energy system.
Officials immediately used their traditional skills to look for the responsible party.
Some said the Ministry of Shipping did not carefully check the incoming and outgoing spacecraft, some said there were loopholes in the identity verification of the Ministry of Information and Cyberspace, and some said there were problems with the design of the Ministry of Energy, otherwise how could it be so easily detonated.
No one dared to say that there was a problem with the garrison, after all, the starport was the garrison's defense zone.
After two days of quarreling, Xinggong issued a strict order to search for star pirates and would conduct a carpet-style identity check inside and outside the Tianwu Continent.
At the same time, the Lieyang Legion issued a notice that it would send four fleets to the Tianwu Continent to assist in clearing out nearby pirates, with Xiao Zhen as the commander-in-chief.
Chu Yang knew all of Zhou Yao's intentions, so the Star Chasing Corps that supported Zhou Yao also sent out four fleets, with Xia Feng as the commander-in-chief, and returned to the Tianwu Continent under the pretext of clearing out star pirates.
When Chen An learned about this, he was speechless for a long time.
"Why choose these two when there are so many options? What about the other legions?"
[The other legions are currently in their respective defense zones, and half of them have no clear preference.]
Not all legions will take sides, and most do not get involved in these matters, otherwise the border defense of Tianwu Star Palace would have been in a mess long ago.
Moreover, even if Chu Yang sent out troops, he only dared to send four fleets, and the main force was still on guard against the separatist tribe.
The situation is therefore becoming increasingly tense, and there is a possibility of larger-scale conflict breaking out between the parties at any time.
The garrison acted as a buffer at this time, using its numerical advantage to prevent many fights.
But in Chen An's opinion, Mu Lin's actions did not seem to be about resolving conflicts, but more like accumulating pressure in order to raise the threshold for explosion on both sides.
Chen An ignored all this and continued to mess with the Ministry of Science and Technology.
"The funding for the jump project has not been approved. What does that mean?"
I just learned from Lu Zhaoyu that due to lack of funds, the reconstruction of the Leap Research Center will be suspended.
Lu Zhaoyu said helplessly: "Because the military has temporarily withdrawn from the project, we can't get the application documents, so the Ministry of Finance can't approve it."
"What documents do you need? Do I need the military to get involved in my Ministry of Science and Technology's project?"
"Minister, don't forget, the Jump Project is a collaboration between our two departments, and we need to apply for funding simultaneously. But now the military is messing around and trying to drag us down."
The other party's intention was simple: to prevent the Ministry of Science and Technology from continuing to produce results, otherwise it would increase Zhou Yao's political capital.
Chen An said indifferently: "If that's the case, then let's just go all out! After all, the jump technology affects the army, not me."
He put the matter aside and continued with his leisurely life.
Chen An does not attack anyone, and he is not afraid of being attacked by others. He can always fight back accurately. This has led to the fact that gradually no one is willing to cause trouble for the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The next day, Zhou Yao was furious when he learned that the leap project had run into trouble.
"This project will no longer be in cooperation with the military. You will be working on your own project."
It’s good to have someone above you. Chen An doesn’t need to do anything and the problem is solved.
The military was eliminated from the project as the responsible party, and the funding application procedure was repeated. The Ministry of Finance directly approved it, which was very fast.
It was during the routine meeting of that day that something big happened.
Thousands of people collectively attacked the military and targeted Qin Zhong.
The attack was so fierce that Qin Zhong had no way to defend himself.
