Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 387

Chapter 386, The Time is Ripe

“Gu Hang persuaded me to rebel!”

Minnick shouted, and from a certain perspective, this sentence is indeed the truth.

Salihovic was the executor.

More than a year ago, he came to the Fache star system and took over the previous diplomatic ambassador and started this work.

He had met many senior members of the Fache family in various semi-public and secret talks. He declared to them that the alliance also hated the current star district government and was very sympathetic to the situation of the Fache family.

Few people questioned his lies, and at most they thought that he was speaking with some diplomatic rhetoric.

The alliance did not get along with the star district government. Since the death of Pedes, the “Tianma Iron Triangle” no longer existed, and after Gu and Fofana came together and created a third neutral faction, the relationship directly turned into a cold one.

The Fache family was celebrating at the time. The enemy’s power was weakened, and the emergence of a neutral faction was of course a good thing.

Fache, with a thousand-year history of rule, looked down on the “upstarts” alliance. However, they also believed that the Alliance was similar to them in some aspects – both were multi-planetary political entities that had a bad relationship with the star district government.

This kind of political entity must have a bad relationship with the star district government, and Fachs would not doubt it.

On this basis, Salihovic would further lead these senior officials to imagine that the Alliance and Fachs had a complete basis for cooperation, either to override the star district government or to use some more intense and tougher means to drive away the current star district leaders.

These words were usually said in private and in a joking way. This was not a specific policy, but just everyone thinking together, so what?

However, didn’t these activities slowly inject a concept into the minds of the senior members of the Fachs family?

Of course, if there was only a concept, it would not be very meaningful.

In these conversations, Salihovic would find people with whom he could really communicate in depth, and communicate more deeply in private to see if cooperation between the two sides was feasible, and hoped that these senior officials could push the Fachs family to take tougher measures against the star district government.

To put it bluntly, Salihovic was provoking the hawks in Fache to make them more emotional. He

even went a step further and urged these hawks to take some actions.

In fact, it was not just him who took action.

After all, Salihovic was a diplomat, and this was the limit. Many of his actions would still be watched.

But in addition to him, the Alliance had another group of people acting on Fache.

They were from the Alliance Intelligence Agency.

Their actions were more secretive and unscrupulous than Salihovic’s. Bribing, grabbing handles, and even assassinating some people who would particularly affect the plan and disguising them as accidents.

But to be honest, their earlier actions were not smooth and full of difficulties.

However, until the huge fine required by the Alliance was announced, their work suddenly became smooth.

Regardless of whether they were radicals or conservatives, hawks or doves in the Fache family, they all boiled over this huge amount of money, and they were extremely dissatisfied with Minnick, the head of the family who had taken over the family for seven years, caused the great failure of Koroja and brought a huge fine.

Under such circumstances, the Union Intelligence Agency was able to deal with a lot of people.

Then, under Salihovic’s face-to-face instigation, a large number of middle and high-level members of the Fachers family began to have a clear idea of going to war.

On the one hand, they were oppressed and a tough attitude was indeed a solution; on the other hand, the Union said that it stood with them, and they really believed it.

They thought this was a solution, and believed that the Alliance would stand with them, so they kept proposing and lobbying. Minnick heard this and believed it.

So, under the diplomatic work, the secret efforts of the agents of the Intelligence Bureau, and the fact that Fachers might have had some thoughts in this regard, Fachers’ rebellion was eventually promoted.

Then, the Alliance turned against them.

Fachers was dumbfounded.

The biggest foreign aid that was originally thought of has now become a death warrant!

This is over!

As the ambassador of the Alliance, Salihovic was under tremendous pressure.

But from this, two effects followed.

The most superficial one, of course, is the anger of being betrayed by the “allies”.

But hidden under this anger is a huge panic.

After the rebellion began, the conservatives in the Fachers family had great dissatisfaction. There are also some compromisers and surrenderists who are in a constant state of fear for the empire. Although

Minnick seemed to have transferred the contradiction to the outside world through this move, in fact, those dissatisfactions were not completely eliminated, but were hidden because they did not dare and could not.

All of these became opportunities that the Foreign Affairs Bureau could seek.

The foreign aid that they relied on turned around and became a rebellion-suppressing army. How could Fachs resist?

The Alliance’s ability was fully demonstrated in the Battle of Koroja; the Pegasus Fleet stood on their side; even the pride of the Fachs people, the Dragon Eagle 3rd Legion, became the vanguard to fight them.

Facing such an opponent, can the Fachs Defense Army withstand it?

Indeed, landing operations are not easy, especially since the three stars have relatively complete orbital defenses. However, no matter how much damage they can cause to the opponent, the final failure seems to be inevitable.

At that time, the more people you let die in the Alliance, the more unlucky you will be.

If it is an alien invasion or a cult rebel, there is no way to compromise, and they will not give you generous surrender conditions just because you surrender. No matter how difficult the war of genocide is, you can only fight it, just to survive.

But fighting to the death with the Alliance and the Empire, what the hell is the purpose?

In the early stage, the intelligence collected by Salihovic and the Foreign Affairs Bureau played a role. They quickly identified which people would be shaken, and also clearly identified which of them could be won over or even turned against.

Up to now, many people have had vague contacts with the Foreign Affairs Bureau and Salihovic. Moreover

, with the blockade of the Pegasus Fleet and the mighty arrival of the Alliance Army, many people who were not originally on the list came over.

They couldn’t find agents, and they had never even had contact with agents. They didn’t know that Fachs had been infiltrated so deeply. There was no other way but to take the risk to meet Salihovic secretly.

They often expressed that they were loyal subjects of the empire and never wanted to rebel. Fachs was also loyal, but the head of the Minnick family was not very loyal.

At this point, Salihovic felt that the time should be ripe.
