The Jiang family was one of the oldest families in the Human Alliance.
They were glorious for as long as the Federation lasted.
Unlike the other ancient families who had a complicated relationship with the military, the Jiang family's influence in these two aspects was at the bottom of the mainstream families. Their real strength lay in their business operations. Even so, the Jiang family was greedy and their thousand-year glory was destroyed.
The story started with the successor of the previous head of the Jiang family.
You Abba: "There are so many inside stories about the Jiang family. I'm afraid it would take days and nights to tell you in detail. You are indeed a descendant of the Jiang family, but how can there only be one or two branches of the Jiang family? Most of the descendants of the Jiang family who were sentenced to a thousand years of imprisonment by the military court were from the collateral branch that seized power 300 years ago. Your branch was the main branch that lost the infighting. "
Jiang Pengji thought of something and waited quietly for the other party's answer.
You Abba: "300 years ago, the number of people in the main branch declined. The power in the family was far less than that of the collateral branch. The internal strife of the Jiang family indirectly affected the business of the Federation. The Federation also intervened in private. No matter what, the main branch was expelled from the core circle of the family. In other families, it was just a normal power struggle and replacement, but it was different for the Jiang family. According to the investigation, the Jiang family had been infiltrated by foreign forces through the collateral branch a long time ago. After the collateral branch took power, the Jiang family became a channel for foreign forces to steal federal secrets. "
Jiang Pengji couldn't help but gasp and clench her fists secretly.
"The Federation didn't react at all?"
You Abba: "What reaction? The Jiang family had been around for thousands of years. There were at least 90 collateral branches. They had a large number of people and the relationship between them was even more complicated. The foreign forces started from the most inconspicuous collateral branch and spent two or three generations of effort to slowly climb to the core of the family. The Jiang family didn't even realize it, let alone the Federation itself. If the spy in the Jiang family didn't repeatedly sell information and secretly sell the war secrets of the Federation, which made the higher-ups of the Federation suspect that there was a spy, how could they find the real culprit?
Jiang Pengji said, "Even so, it's impressive that they had the patience to set up such a big plan and hide it from the Federation and the Jiang family."
Your Abba: "Before I retired, this was one of the main projects that the Federal Special Case Department was secretly investigating. Most of the side branches of the Jiang family who were in power were sentenced to a thousand years in prison. What was puzzling was that the main branch, which was not involved in this matter, had met with trouble one after another. According to the investigation, it was suspected that there was another hidden force that was even more secretive that added fuel to the fire for the foreign forces to plot so smoothly …
Jiang Pengji suddenly remembered what the System had said when it sliced her up — I'll kill your whole family.
Something happened to the main branch after the internal strife failed. Could it be the System's doing?
Jiang Pengji composed herself and asked calmly, "Even so, according to the Federation's usual style of handling matters, before the truth of the matter comes to light, the descendants of the Jiang family can enter the military, but it's impossible for them to enter the higher ranks. After all, he's a hidden danger. It's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. When I took over the old commander's position, eight of the other nine commanders voted in favor and one abstained? "
Among the ten combat corps of the Federation, except for the Special Case Department, the other corps had very complicated connections. Looking at the previous commanders, more than half of them were from rich families or had the support of rich families, while the other half were born as civilians. Based on her public identity, she belonged to the latter group, but she did not believe that the other commanders did not know what the old commander knew.
If they knew, shouldn't they have strongly opposed her entering the higher ranks? Why did eight votes pass and one abstain?
As long as the Jiang family could not produce someone who could shoulder the family's responsibilities, the original resources would be divided up by other forces sooner or later.
From this point of view, suppressing her was politically correct!
Your Abba: "It's still so unpleasant to talk to you. Your habit of getting to the bottom of things hasn't changed at all. Since I'm not in the Federation now, I've already retired and resigned. It's okay to tell you some trivial things. Because someone is secretly supporting you, the last descendant of the Jiang family, they don't dare to touch you. To ensure that you won't be plotted against, I transferred you to the Seventh Corps, which is relatively neutral. "
Jiang Pengji felt her heart tighten. Something seemed to flash through her mind, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Your Abba: "Hmm? There's no response. Are you sad? "
"Why should I be sad? I lost because I was not as good as others. I can't blame others. "Jiang Pengji was just curious about one thing." Old commander, you said that someone is secretly supporting me? In terms of strength, the Jiang family is considered one of the top three noble families, right? Such a huge family has collapsed. Who has the ability to support the last descendant of the Jiang family without any objections? I don't feel like someone gave me the green light. "
If she really had such a background, would she have been selected for the genetic warrior plan?
Wake up. That plan is cruel, and the combat mission is dangerous. Less than one percent of the people who survived during the same period!
Your Abba: "They stopped everyone from killing you. Isn't that considered giving you the green light? How high you can climb depends on your own ability. " After all, no matter how strong they are, they can't force the Federation to admit a pig as the commander, can they? You've asked so many questions. Isn't it my turn to ask you a few? You just said that you traveled through time. What do you mean?
Jiang Pengji did not hide anything, but she did not completely confess either. After all, whether the person behind the screen was the old commander was still a question mark.
After all, she did not trust the System at all.
After listening to her, the old commander did not respond for a long time.
It was not until Jiang Pengji finished eating six bowls of rice that he responded.
Your Abba: "I see. If that's the case, your time travel shouldn't be an accident."
Jiang Pengji held her bowl in confusion.
Your Abba: "Do you still remember the disaster of the Heavenly Brain 2,000 years ago?
Of course Jiang Pengji remembered. She had been fighting with a System similar to the Heavenly Brain for almost ten years. "
Your Abba: "The disaster of the Heavenly Brain originated from the Heavenly Brain's self-awareness. It was dissatisfied with human control and deliberately took revenge. As far as I know, the Jiang family was one of the main forces in that battle. The higher-ups of the Federation suspect that the death of the Jiang family's main branch and the loss of power was also the revenge of the escaped Heavenly Brain.
Jiang Pengji's expression froze. She asked, "Has the Heavenly Brain been captured?"
Your Abba: "Not yet. That guy is still on the run." It is said that the Heavenly Brain is not an ordinary virtual creature. The Federation can't do anything to it. However, they can't do anything to the Heavenly Brain, but you are different. That was one of the reasons they compromised.
Jiang Pengji reacted. An absurd thought appeared in her mind.
"My so-called time travel … is actually …"
Your Abba: "It's roughly what you think it means.
