Thousands of sparks

Chapter 115 Thunder Means
In the combat hall of the Newsail Coat of Arms Management Office, the atmosphere was as heavy as real.

The empire is a huge "factory", and the relationship between the colonies and the capital is much closer than that of an ordinary factory assembly line.Without the other colonies, the industrial structure on a single colony could barely support it functioning as a "civilized society".Without Olin, the command is centrally coordinated, and it is also difficult for the colonies to privately communicate and exchange resources and services.

Such work generally needs to pass through Olin's transit port before the transportation can be completed.All the commodities, raw materials, and services obtained by the colonies need to be transported to Olin first, and then transferred to the various colonial stars.

Now, Newsail is directly isolated from the imperial colonial system.According to the provisions of the Empire's "Interstellar Transportation Law", ships that have not obtained a jumping permit will be directly regarded as smuggling ships.

All colonial garrison fleets, imperial navy guard fleets, and even civilian ships equipped with weapons can attack these ships that have not been authorized to warp.All cargo on a ship, as well as the ship itself, is exempt from Imperial law and can be taken by attackers.

In other words, after canceling the jump permission, once all the ships of Newsail leave the landing site, they will face the hostility of all humans in the entire universe.

Newsail was actually isolated from the entire imperial colonial system, and it was isolated suddenly without warning.What's more, such isolation has no foreseeable time limit at all.

Although Niusal has left the impact of the cold winter as a whole, it is still difficult to maintain the local demand in Niusal for food production.Although this planet does not have a greatly inclined rotation inclination, its orbit is relatively "elliptical".Therefore, when Niusal moves to aphelion, the temperature of the entire planet will be much lower.This also means that Newsail cannot have at least two food harvests a year like other agricultural planets.

There is never enough food in Newsail.About half of the food in the entire colony was dependent on the exports of other colonies.

"The first thing to do now is to send the letter immediately, and ask the Olin Herald Management Office to ask them to give a clear time for re-approving the permit." In this dreary air that can suffocate people , Dusande issued his first order.

"Mr. Lord, this is the information you requested." Others began to arrange the take-off and landing of the special shuttle ship of the post office, and Dusande also received an initial request to "find out the situation of all the Marquis' family members and the hidden guards." As a result, "There are still three people on the list who cannot be traced, and we are launching further searches."

A printed report was sent to Dusande, with three names printed on it, and their relationship with Lafayette was printed very intimately behind the names.

【Marquise Lafayette, wife of Lafayette】

[Baron Etienne, son of Lafayette]

[Jean Duval, the guard of the Privy Council, the leader of the Marquis Guard. 】

One look at the configuration of this character can tell what's going on. Du Sande intends to let them go, but... the current situation does not allow Du Sande to have any compassion.

"Take two action teams and go out of Knight Street." After roughly estimating the time, Dusand ordered the blockade of the three blocks around the market, "Strictly check the passing pedestrians and see if they can They caught it—once the identity of the other party is confirmed, don't be rude, just say that I invited them to come here."

It's no secret that Mr. Marquis has close ties to the Federation.If his wife and children wanted to seek emergency asylum when the empire was so furious that it blocked Newsail, the only force in the entire universe willing to provide asylum was the Federation.

As for the alliance... they may be more willing to take advantage of the blockade of Newsail to attack other colonial planets.

If you want to go to the Federation on weekdays, you need to use the power of the market to achieve it.Now that Newsail is blocked, if they want to escape the empire, the Federation is probably the only place that can help them.

"My lord, should we just block it?" The red-clothed postman who received the order had his own opinion about Dusand's order, "If the probability of these three fugitives appearing in this area is relatively high, we can directly organize people to block this area." All the rooms within the range have been cleaned up one by one."

"Are they fugitives?" Dusande glanced at the young red-clothed postman, then lowered his head and read the report again, "Then you can explain to me, which law of the empire did they violate?"

This question caught the young postman in red.

"Neither in Newsale nor in Olin, there is no court to judge Mr. Marquis. Moreover, the Privy Council has not issued an order to deprive the title of Marquis so far. In other words, Mr. Marquis is still a nobleman now, and he Their family members have not been wanted—what name do you use to arrest them? Attempt to treason?" Dusande shook his head and sighed, "We are the loyal sword of His Majesty the Emperor, which means that our every move will be judged by others. It is understood as the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty's glory must not have any dirt, and you must pay attention to whether your actions are legal."

To be honest, the Marquis's wife and children tried to escape to a foreign country under the protection of the leader of the guard... If it were normal, this would of course be an extremely bad incident.But in the current situation, it is not so important anymore.

The cause of the Marquis' death is a mystery, and at the same time, he was charged with a bunch of deadly crimes. It is a certainty that he will be deprived of his title. It seems that the only thing that may be uncertain is when this order will be issued from Olin. With the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, it was sent to Newsail.

There is only one thing Dusande can't figure out now - he is not sure whether he should try to reverse the case for the Marquis.After all, Olin's heraldry management office is really rough, and every corner seems to be full of rush work and loopholes.

But the more this happened, the less Du Sande himself dared to move.If even he can see that there is a problem, then I am afraid that the 42 colonial planets Aika and Olin Aika in the entire empire can also see it.

But Orin did it anyway, and he did it unscrupulously and without restraint.

To be honest, if there was no collision with the headquarters, Dusand would still think that it might be a political strife.But bringing in the naval headquarters on the orbit of the capital to engage in political strife... This is too costly.

A Marquis of Newsale, how could He De let Olin take the naval command and a dozen lives, plus a shuttle ship and the life of the director of Newsale Aika to frame him?
There was so much confusion that Dusand did not dare to act rashly.He can only choose the safest plan, and then wait and see.

"In short, if you find these three, you must not forcefully bring them back." Du Sande said to the young red-clothed postman in front of him, "Invite—it's like inviting them to Aika to participate in an event." Like a nobleman's ball."

The young man froze for a moment, then nodded confidently and said, "I understand, the kind of dance party with razor blades on the ground, right? Don't worry, I will definitely get things done-the knives and guns will not be exposed, and I will definitely not scare passers-by pedestrian……"

"Understood your size!" Dusand was furious, jumped up and smashed the "smart" postman in red on the head with the document in his hand, "No guns, no knives, no ropes! Go! Invite me back politely!"

In addition to arranging operations, Du Sande also wrote several letters out.

The first letter was to Androni.As the speaker of the House of Commons of Newsale, she symbolizes the authority of Newsale's entire self-government system, and also serves as the convener of the Marquis Caucus.Next, Androni should be granted permission to enter the Heraldry Management Office and obtain information simultaneously with Dusand.

A second letter was addressed to the Governor of Newsale Colonial Hall.The post of governor is mainly of symbolic significance in the imperial colonial system, unless His Majesty sends a special envoy, Mr. Governor represents the authority of the emperor in Newsail.

A third letter was addressed to the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army at Newsail.The fourth was sent to Duchamp.The navy and army are the foundation of Newsale's defense—they can't afford to mess up.

All four letters briefly explained the situation Newsale was facing and included a temporary visitor's permit.

Dusand invited these four people who could decide almost everything in Newsail to discuss the next course of action in the Newsail Coat of Arms Management Office.

It stands to reason that it is not Aika's turn to intervene in such matters as "negotiating the next development direction of the colony".But now the situation is special, Du Sande had to do something shocking.

In the entire colony, only the Newsail Heraldry Administration can obtain outside intelligence in a timely manner, and at the same time send news from Newsail - the post office ships painted red are naturally protected by the imperial law, and no one can attack them.

In addition to inviting these people to come to the meeting as soon as possible, Du Sande also asked the postman in red to do two "private affairs" for him.

He wrote an order to his Belford Automobile Manufacturing Plant, ordering the automobile manufacturing plant to stop all order manufacturing from now on and seal up all raw materials.

The wages of the workers are still paid, and the training of the armored soldiers is also the same.Moreover, not only the existing armored soldiers must be trained, but all workers working in the factory must also participate in military training during the days when orders stop manufacturing.

The second order was given to Rosen. In the letter, Dusand asked Rosen [to call all armed security guards immediately and distribute weapons, ammunition and related equipment to them.The law and order in Upper Albin must not have the slightest problem. If you encounter gangsters or criminals committing crimes, you can open fire directly after the two warnings are invalid. 】

Three quarters of an hour later, the two rushed to the building of the Newsaar Article Management Office.Androni seemed to be in a slightly better state, probably because she had been woken up. Although she looked tired, she was at least awake.

But the Army Commander's state is not so... optimistic.Colonel Phillips, the commander-in-chief of the Newsale Army, looked as if he hadn't sobered up—his face was flushed with drunkenness, his eyes were dazed, and there was a pungent smell of alcohol on his body.

"This state is not acceptable." Dusand frowned and glanced at Colonel Philip, and then said to the red-clothed postman beside him, "Go help Mr. Colonel sober up."

The two postmen in red dragged the colonel into the dungeon. It wasn't that they intended to torture the colonel.There is a cellar deep in the dungeon of the Heraldry Administration Office, which stores a large amount of ice blocks.

It's just right for sobering up.

After making arrangements for the colonel, Dusande took Androni to the war room of the Coat of Arms Management Office. He said helplessly to his mother, "The matter is more urgent, so I can only invite you here——after the matter is finished , I will accompany you to the church to get rid of bad luck."

Androni smiled slightly, "I'll talk about this later, why did you come to me in such a hurry? About the Marquis?"

"It's much worse than that." Dusand said with a sigh, "Olin canceled the jump permission of all Newsail shuttle ships, and we were isolated from the entire colonial trading system."

Androni's eyes suddenly became tense.

"The news has just been sent, and we have submitted a request to Olin, hoping that they can at least give an accurate time for re-granting the permit." Dusand said in a low voice, "Before that, in order to ensure the colony's Stability, I propose rationing and total curfews throughout Newsail. Control the rate at which goods are consumed that we cannot produce, keep the colony as safe as possible...especially limit food consumption, with only the stockpile and production capacity that Newsail has now , we can't feed 400 million people in the whole colony."
