Lyu quickly sent the relevant information to the Antenna Organization's server and proactively destroyed that information port.
The subsequent developments seemed somewhat 'dreamlike' to the top-ranking officials in the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
The Luofeng Empire's transport ship was intercepted at the Empire's border. The Foreign Affairs Bureau dispatched the first working group to figure out a reasonable way to detain the items on this transport ship.
But before the first working group could set out, the second-in-command of the Foreign Affairs Bureau stationed on the Emperor Star sent an urgent message.
The Foreign Affairs Bureau could only dispatch a second working group, using all means to ensure that this transport ship was delivered intact to the space station near the Emperor Star for inspection.
About two days later, a commendation letter handwritten by the Emperor was placed on the Director of Foreign Affairs' desk.
On the envelope of the commendation letter was a line of beautifully written ancient Imperial script:
To the Emperor of Luofeng, the wise Edwan.
The Director of Foreign Affairs softly cursed with the smallest voice, repressing the urge to tear the letter apart, and began selecting a deputy director to be dispatched to the Luofeng Empire.
As for how the art piece-like Princess was faring on the Emperor Star, Lyu had managed to find out a little.
She's doing well, having become a living ornament in the Sherman Imperial Palace, blending in with those 'ornament class' maids.
The handwritten letter from the Emperor of the Sherman Empire soon became headline news between the Sherman and Luofeng Empires.
On the bridge of the East Wind, Yang Ming emerged from the medical cabin and heard the news, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"At least, Edwan is safe for now."
"Yes, boss, Luofeng has gotten more of a window period," Lyu said softly, "I've noticed that the Foreign Affairs Bureau and the Military Department have also delayed their actions against Luofeng, probably waiting for the heat of this event to die down."
"That's not acceptable, let's crank up the heat."
Yang Ming took off his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles.
Lyu gave a few 'wow' sounds beside him.
"Lyu, I recall when we were in contact with Atro, he mentioned that the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau is now intensifying its infiltration throughout the New Federation?"
Lyu immediately replied, "Yes, boss, they've already seen good results, being able to ensure that significant news happening in the New Federation Head Star, Minter City, can reach the Emperor Star's Military Intelligence Bureau office within five minutes." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Yang Ming chuckled, "Next, we'll start spreading rumors within the New Federation, saying that the New Federation is planning its next move against the Sherman Empire's vassal state, the Luofeng Empire. Make sure to exaggerate it, saying that the New Federation is demonizing Luofeng, but keep the discussion within a small area to avoid causing a major public debate in the New Federation."
"Okay, boss, I understand what you mean!"
Lyu laughed and said:
"Actually, we don't need to stir up public opinion; we can utilize the double agents in the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau and the New Federation CIA. I have identified roughly eighteen double agents, and they charge by the amount of information."
"That would be even better."
Yang Ming squinted with a smile:
"Go ahead, first pass the information through the New Federation into the Empire;
"Then choose an opportune moment to send a message to Atro using my White Ghost identity, saying that I've been particularly concerned about the New Federation's retaliatory actions lately. The New Federation has started to recover, and there might be a possibility of them inciting disturbances at the Empire's border or in its vassal state.
"Ask Atro to send me any relevant information."
"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."
Lyu vanished with a swish, and Yang Ming sat on the captain's chair, continuing to stare at the star map in front of him.
Bringing down such a massive Empire is not something that can be accomplished overnight or by a single person or force.
'What am I fantasizing about.'
Yang Ming chuckled to himself.
Overthrowing an Empire single-handedly, it's a galaxy version of a pipe dream.
With this idle thought, it's better to think about determining Faya's game launch date, which is more realistic.
Next, with some preparations, he could go to Intelligent Mechanic Dusk, to get some 'black technology' for his Dark Star System that even the Sherman Empire doesn't have.
——Levi Sherman initially chose 'mechanics' and 'life,' while the path Yang Ming is now taking is one of pure 'mechanics' and 'evolution.'
This tiny bit of black technology might be the start of their advantage over the Sherman Empire.
