205 Chain Reaction
The queen was assassinated!
Just as the Mole was hiding behind the meteorites in the asteroid belt and the three of them slept soundly in the escape pod, the whole world of New Eden was in chaos.
Empress Jamir, the most powerful and ruling the strongest empire, was assassinated! This is not a speculation, but was publicly announced by the imperial government.
On July 20, 121, the Emperor of the Empire and the Princess of the Flowers were kidnapped by the entourage. When the guard tried to capture the federal clone pilot named Edmund Dontes, the man was furiously detonated a bomb hidden in the Emperor's ship, causing a chain explosion in the energy core of the super flagship, blowing the entire flagship and the nearby frigate to pieces.
The Imperial Navy has blocked the galaxy of the incident, and various experts are conducting careful inspections on the spot. Judging from the scale and intensity of the explosion, the possibility of the queen, princess and the kidnappers survival is very small.
The Imperial Privy Council and the Parliament of Believers are in urgent consultations. If the emperor is not found within 24 hours, an extraordinary meeting must be held to select another successor from the five electorates.
This announcement was not long, but the content attracted close attention from the Federation, Republic and the Ministry of Union. It was even a bit like facing a great enemy. It announced that the border would be closed. The Republic was particularly serious, sending all three dreadnoughts to the border galaxy.
This is not the first time that the imperial emperor was assassinated. In fact, at least 11 emperors in the history of the imperial world have died. But this time it is a bit different. The assassination was not a faction within the empire or a slave to rebel, but a federal clone pilot.
If someone wants to use this to make trouble, the war is likely to come. If the empire and the federation fight, the republic will basically not be able to stand by and the Three Kingdoms War will reappear.
Faced with such a complex situation, the senior executives of the United Department reached a consensus as quickly as possible: to prevent the outbreak of the war at all costs, then investigate the truth and arrest the murderer if the kidnappers are still alive.
In fact, the one who does not want the war is the Federation and the Republic. As long as the war is together, no matter what the winner is, no matter how you win or lose. Compared with the lifeless and huge empire, the Federation and the Republic, which have developed rapidly in recent years, have suffered even greater losses.
A strange phenomenon happened. Almost no one cared about why the queen was kidnapped, how the kidnappers got on the emperor's ship, and no one even cared about the emperor's life or death. Everyone was concerned about the movements of the officials of the United Department and the attitude of the Three Kingdoms governments.
Media from all countries have also received serious warnings from their respective governments, and no one is allowed to make random talks and intensify conflicts. The media also know the severity and cannot afford to provoke war.
But we can't be deaf and dumb about this incident, so we can just talk about the kidnapper. Compared with governments, it seems that only Edmund Dontez can do whatever he wants, and no one cares about his life or death.
So Dontes became the most talented kidnapper in the history of the New Eden. Some media speculated that he was the Blood Raider, because the first thing Queen Jamil did when she first took office was to wipe out several Blood Raider bases entrenched on the border of the empire, causing great losses to the other party. With the nature of madmen, it is reasonable to send people to assassinate the Queen.
Some media speculated that the kidnapper was from the Uruk Republic, and Dontes was a spy lurking in the Republic of China. He used his federal identity to sneak into the empire and kidnapped the emperor unexpectedly. He could not escape, but he simply burned his body.
Some media also think that they cannot focus on the outside, and the empire is not a monolithic part, and the conflicts are even more acute. Every time the imperial emperor is assassinated, there are almost the shadow of the five electoral emperors behind them. No matter how dangerous the danger is in the face of power, this reason is more tenable.
As for how an ordinary clone pilot could be a blood attacker and a spy from the Republic, and how it had a relationship with the imperial electorate family, no one could tell a clear context.
Judging from the information you can obtain, Dontes's background is very simple. He first served in the Federal Navy for five years, then retired due to disability, and later participated in the cloning pilot training, and then became a free explorer, wandering around border galaxies all year round. In this way, the information of the Union Department records it.
Is there any hidden information? That is necessary. Natalia's identity was just a result of the recombination of the information brought back by Hong Tao. All the information was semi-public and there was no secret. Since it was compiled, no matter how meticulous it is, it is not true. It is nothing more than Meng Yimeng's identity scanning system and background database.
Usually no one can detect it, and no one will check it hard. But when this person becomes the main suspect in the kidnapping of the imperial emperor, let alone carefully comparing it, even if all the data from the establishment of the Union Department is checked, no one will be annoyed.
This investigation was revealed, and it was worth mentioning that Edmund Dontes's files were all forged, with very clever techniques. Except for the name, all experiences were almost real and were all referenced. They were pieced together one by one from other people's experiences. It was very confusing to mix the real and fake together. Even the data master brain of the unit was confused.
The Union Department did not protect his shortcomings, so he quickly admitted his work mistakes, and also reported the investigation results to the Three Kingdoms governments. This is not that the Union Department is really selfless, and he dare not hide it, for fear of bringing the fire to itself. If this arouses the empire's dissatisfaction with the Union Department, it will be a big problem.
Is Queen Jamil alive or dead? Is Dontez still alive? The United Ministry and representatives of the Three Governments immediately held consultations, but no one cared about it.
The representative of the Empire submitted the new emperor, Edmond Adishapo, to the Empire's new emperor, that the Empire would independently investigate the assassination of the Queen, and the only thing that needed outsiders' help was to suggest that Edmund Dontes be listed as a Class A wanted criminal in the United Department.
The representatives of the Republic did not mention any kidnapping of Dontes. They were concerned about whether there would be war. At present, warships gathered on the border between the two countries, and if there was a slight accident, they would be out of control. It would be as dangerous as it would be.
After receiving written assurance from the empire, the small Sepisto diplomat left a room of united officials and representatives of various countries and returned to the capital of the Republic to find the Prime Minister to sign, and did not dare to delay for a moment.
The federal representatives wanted to figure out all this out and also wanted to provide the empire with the necessary assistance. After all, one of the protagonists in the whole thing is a federal citizen. The federal government is really unwilling to do so if it doesn't understand the origin of this person.
Unfortunately, no one supported the proposal of the federal representative. The imperial representative repeatedly stated that the new emperor and the Privy Council believed that this person had nothing to do with the federal government, and did not intend to make any requests to the federal government for this. So, the investigation work does not require the federal government to intervene. It is a private matter, unless the federal government insists on taking the responsibility on its own.
No matter how much the federal government is no longer willing to assassinate the imperial emperor, the federal government is happy to be idle, so just ignore it.
"His Excellency, according to the federal intelligence department, the galaxy was also in the incident on the day of the incident. The four super-light speed forwarding stations supervised by the General Department of the Systems have all failed and have not been restored yet. In addition, the Imperial Navy blocked the galaxy when it was not informed of the General Department of the Systems. Is it a bit inappropriate to close the star gate?"
Seeing the tall and thin imperial representative leave, the federal representative couldn't help but raise the questions in his heart. This was not his personal opinion. Before coming, the federal government also held a secret meeting and conducted a comprehensive analysis of the matter, and then came to such a conclusion.
He was quite polite. According to the speculation of the head of the federal intelligence department, it would be different whether there was a Dontes or not. Maybe it was an illusion thrown out by the internal strife of the empire.
With the capabilities of the Imperial Intelligence Department, it is not difficult to create some fake identities within the Unification Department. Not only the Empire, but also the Federation and the Republic. So no matter how the private media speculates, governments of all countries have a scale in their hearts.
