Abyss Solo-Chapter 531 - 235 United_2

More than ten people maintained their silence. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Allison slightly furrowed her brow and asked in a low voice, "Is the technology provided by the White Ghost really useful to the Empire? Didn’t they say at the last meeting that the remaining Insect Swarm had already entered a highly concealed state?"

"Yes, our intelligence personnel have already obtained the design drawings. The new instrument’s function is to simulate the communication between the Insect Swarm, creating false signals to affect the Mother Worm, thereby causing the highly concealed Insect Swarm to show unusual movements. Paired with normal detectors, we can almost achieve 100 percent detection.

"The only downside to this technology is that the detection speed is rather slow, but if we then distribute it on a large scale, this shortcoming will also be compensated."

Allison didn’t ask further and continued to ponder.

The deputy directors of the Central Intelligence Agency looked worried.

That deputy director who had been in charge of the Burying Insect plan had already disappeared from the leadership of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the contents of his plan were now known to all the deputy directors.

’Everything’s in chaos, complete chaos.’

Thoughts raced through Allison’s mind.

In her memory, the beginning of the Insect Race calamity within the Empire was in the few years before the "Abyss" game opening—about twenty years later—a batch of Fourth Rank Insect Swarms appeared within the Empire, the Empire’s Invincible Fleet suffered heavy losses, and the Empire’s national power declined rapidly. The New Federation had an increasingly superior situation.

Now, with the help of the White Ghost, the Empire had prematurely eliminated these Insect Swarms that hadn’t yet fully developed.

The future of the Empire would still be able to maintain its strength.

On the other hand, due to several years of border conflicts, the New Federation was under too much internal pressure, its internal contradictions were becoming more prominent, and the cohesion of its people was continuously sliding.

If the Empire found all of the Insect Race, or there were only a dozen or twenty batches of Insect Swarms left within the Empire’s borders, none could pose a significant threat to the Empire.

The changes in interstellar politics between galaxies had become inscrutable to Allison.

She had already lost some of the advantages of the Pioneer, which made her feel terrible.

"That damn White Ghost!"

Curses against the White Ghost erupted in the meeting.

The secretary of the presidential office asked in a grave voice, "Cannot the Central Intelligence Agency do something? Haven’t you always boasted about infiltrating all aspects of the Empire?"

"We have never boasted about infiltrating the Empire; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to get our hands on these blueprints so quickly. But the Insect Eradication operation is something the entire Empire is united on, from that debauched Emperor to the lowest-ranking soldiers, all with the priority of eliminating the insect infestation."

"The purpose of today’s meeting is to study countermeasures, how to preserve the last results of this plan and prevent the Empire from finding all the Burying Insect points."

"Our experimental bases can still produce new Insect Ships why don’t we add some more?"

"Wouldn’t that give the Empire an overt reason to start a war?"

"Do they really dare to go to war? How powerful is the Empire’s Invincible Fleet, exactly? Apart from the several elite legions, how many ships are in need of maintenance? How many non-existent positions are there in the border defense army? In a full-scale war, we would lose, but the Empire would also lose its position as the overlord of the Galaxy, only allowing other polities to rise opportunistically."

"Even if the Empire doesn’t go to full-scale war, continuously nibbling at our borders would rapidly intensify our internal pressure."

Allison raised her hand to signal and, as people looked over, she spoke calmly, "The duty of the Central Intelligence Agency is external affairs; we don’t need to discuss these internal matters too much. Besides the Burying Insect plan, do we have no other plans to deplete the Empire’s national power?"

The various deputy directors of the Central Intelligence Agency were silent.

Allison continued, "Since everyone keeps saying that the Empire is prone to revolution, why not make them erupt in revolution as soon as possible? That’s the Central Intelligence Agency’s real job, right?"

"The Empire has always erased rebels at the fastest speed. If a planet declares independence, they give time for the people to leave, and then shatter that planet, or if a city has a large number of rebels, they level that city."

One deputy director said in a low voice, "The foundation on which the Empire stands is their Invincible Fleet, the Emperor’s Power is rooted in the military."

Allison asked, "What about a widespread rebellion?"

"All right, Representative Allison," a deputy director removed his glasses, "I understand your sentiment, the failure of a plan that was prepared for so long is a result no one can accept. I can reveal briefly that we indeed have plans to incite rebellion within the Empire, but currently, we don’t have enough support."

"What does not enough support mean?" the presidential secretary asked on the side.

"Those who are most dissatisfied with the Emperor are never the general populace, but the ambitious ones, yet they all fear the Invincible Fleet."

"Excluding the Empire’s local defense system, the Empire’s regular military forces are controlled directly by the Emperor Star by fifty percent, distributed within the Emperor Star Circle by fifteen percent, the border defense force constitutes twenty percent and is more scattered, and fifteen percent is controlled by various Great Nobles. These Great Nobles have always been the targets of our Central Intelligence Agency."

"But which Great Noble dares to provoke that fifty percent?"

"Unless our country can clearly provide military support."

"That’s nearly impossible to achieve; the president and ministers, the representatives, cannot bear the pressure of a full-scale war, and they will not allow the New Federation to stand in absolute opposition to the Empire. Our intelligence officers have done a lot of work, and we have already established friendships with many ministers and nobles."

"The Imperial family is idle; only the Emperor holds all power. Any Prince or Princess who dares to meet with a minister in private will lose everything."
