After getting pregnant with a golden dragon cub, the fake daughter A blew up the entire interstellar

Chapter 347 The Merfolk are a hot commodity; since we can't defeat them, let's work together to get them.
The moment the Zhenlin Empire officially announced that space pirates had not only injured mermaids and bombed their ships in their own star system, but had not yet been eliminated or captured, the trending topic shot up to the entire M31 star system!

The leaders, monarchs, and experts of various planetary nations could hardly believe that there were space pirates in the Zhenlin Empire's star system.
Numerous experts and strategists held emergency meetings to discuss the matter. The conclusion drawn from these discussions was that the news was definitely false. It was because the commander of Chongming wanted to achieve some goal with the Merfolk, or perhaps the destroyed spaceship contained some important Merfolk who needed to be silenced, and he used the guise of space pirates.

But... they learned through browsing the internet that there were survivors on the destroyed spaceship, more than a dozen survivors.

There were survivors... In the eyes of countless experts and strategists, this was not the style of Commander Chongming. He was tough and domineering, decisive and ruthless. If he really killed someone, he would not leave any survivors.

Countless experts and strategists have begun a new round of speculation and discussion, trying to figure out what the commander of Chongming is trying to do and what his purpose is in issuing such a document.
They simply refused to believe that space pirates would appear in the Zhenlin Empire's star system, destroying and attacking the Merfolk's ships without being able to catch them!

The vast population of M31 star system joined in the astonished discussion: "Am I seeing things, or am I blind? I actually saw space pirates enter the Zhenlin Empire's star system and bomb the Merfolk's ship?"

"No, why would space pirates bomb the Merfolk's ships? Wouldn't bombing the Zhenlin Empire's ships be more shocking to the M31 system and make them famous overnight?"

"No, upstairs, you're not seeing things or being blind, you're just spouting nonsense. To be a space pirate, one needs not only courage but also ability. But courage and ability are worlds apart when facing the commander of Chongming. He can tell the difference between dying with a whole body and dying as ashes."

"No, are you guys upstairs crazy or stupid? You actually believe the official statement from the Zhenlin Empire?"

"Can't you use your brains to think about what the Zhenlin Empire is trying to cover up when you see fake official news at a glance?"

"The empire issued a document, it's official, it's military official, and you're telling me it's fake? I think you're the fake one, your whole family is fake."

"That's right. The Zhenlin Empire is a powerful nation. They say it's among the top three in the M31 star system, but that's just them being modest. Others are already in the top one or two. Don't the lives of space pirates matter? They're really hopelessly stupid, digging their own graves and ending up dead."

"I'm telling you this right now, this news is absolutely fake. The Zhenlin Empire is pulling a big heist, and their target is the Merfolk!"

"Oh, I see. It must be because Jiang Chacha is obsessed with love and wants to go to the Mermaid Clan. Commander Chongming issued such a warning to put pressure on Prince Yu Xian so that he would leave on his own."

"What are you talking about upstairs? Who is the Commander of Chongming? He's the head of the Zhenlin Empire. If he wants to keep someone, there are a million ways we don't know about. Do you think it's possible to use such a blatant and self-defeating method?"

"Exactly, exactly. Commander Chongming is 151 years old. He has a partner and a child. You don't think that just because he's become a husband and father, he's become soft-hearted, indulged in a life of pleasure, and naive about the ways of the world, do you?"

"Yeah, you guys say he's very powerful. If a space pirate really entered their country's star system, he wouldn't have started posting articles before catching and destroying them!"

"I still feel there's something going on here. I'm inexplicably worried about the merfolk, and I have a feeling that this is targeting them."

“The merfolk are coming to their house to abduct the healer Jiang Chacha. He definitely has to take some action to make the merfolk's actions worthwhile.”

"What kind of race is the Merfolk? Besides using his lower body to think and going around seeking thrills, what else can the King do?"

"Destroy! Destroy the evil, unfree merfolk! I don't want to stay here at all!"

"Yes, I don't want to stay in the Merfolk tribe at all. Damn it, they were all right when I came here, promising that I could come and go as I pleased. But after I arrived, I found out that I don't have the right to migrate if I live here for three years."

"In other words, no matter what country you are from, once you immigrate here and live here for three years, you are a person here in life and you will die here in death. Don't even think about leaving."

"It's even harsher on native mermaids. You can immigrate to any planet in the mermaid race's own star system, but you can't cross the mermaid race's own star system. If you have to leave, all that awaits you is death."

"I immigrated from another planet to the Merfolk and have lived here for 30 years. The longer I live here, the more I want to rebel and overthrow the Merfolk King!"

"Let me tell you something secret. My former neighbors were a handsome young couple. Both of them caught the eye of the Merfolk King, and then...that was it. Poor thing!"

"Upstairs, tell us more about how pitiful it was, how it ended there, quickly, tell us."

"Yes, we have gossip to share. Anyway, even the king of the merfolk knows he only uses his lower body, not his brain."

"Tell me more about it. Tell me about that young couple who, ever since they caught the eye of the Merfolk King, were taken away by the royal guards every night and thrown back in the morning, covered in wounds. After they finally managed to get into the treatment pod and recovered, they were taken away again. This went on for more than a month."

"Finally... finally they had cubs, and the cubs died one by one, until the couple died together."

"Holy crap, this is disgusting, this is ruthless!"

"This is not disgusting, this is not cruel. In the merfolk, this is commonplace, a normal social phenomenon."

"There's no way around it, we're here now and can't leave, so we have to keep a low profile."

"There's nothing we can do. When faced with a king like this, and with no weapons at our disposal, we can only grit our teeth and swallow our anger."

"I tell you, you cannot understand the sorrow of the merfolk, who seem to be equal but are actually deeply entrenched in class divisions, in a country with a large and law-abiding nation."

"The council of elders and nobles have their own deep-sea and land areas. If ordinary mermaids enter their designated areas, they will either have their tails cut off or be killed."

"Furthermore, the laws of the merfolk are more inclined to favor the council of elders and nobles. If someone goes to complain, they will say that it is their private territory and who allowed you to trespass."

“I’m telling you, if any of the merfolk rebel, I’ll be the first one to volunteer. Let’s get rid of these bastards.”

Those merfolk who are clamoring against the merfolk race online are either anonymous circumventing the internet or are merfolk on business trips to other planets.

Mermaids in the Mermaid Clan dare not utter such inflammatory words on the new internet, fearing that they will be investigated by the Mermaid Clan's Information Department. Not only will they be reprimanded, but they will also face hefty fines. Being tortured and beaten is a minor matter; their lives are in danger.

The Mermaid Queen, amidst the surging waves of love, was interrupted by the fish. Lying on her bed with its beaded curtains, she listened as the mermaid bowed and reported on the movements on the net.

Behind her was a handsome male mermaid who was full of love for her, half-embracing her and stroking her fins.

After hearing the report, the Mermaid Queen said to the mermaid who reported to her, "Send a message to Princess Yu Aiyao and tell her to rest well first. Also, tell Mu Chui and Hong Ci to pay more attention to Prince Yu Xian."

The mermaid who reported respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Mermaid Queen waved her hand, causing the hanging beaded curtain to sway, and then came forward to report before the mermaids withdrew. Turning to the handsome male mermaid behind her, the Mermaid Queen said, "Yu Aiyao didn't lie to me; their spaceship was indeed attacked and destroyed by space pirates."

"The Zhenlin Empire's star region is touted as the safest star region in the entire M31 system, but it's nothing special. Chongming's excellence is a bit of an exaggeration."

The handsome male mermaid leaned close to her and replied, "Yes, some things only have a good reputation, but in reality, they're just a pile of rotten mud."

"Next, regardless of whether what that little bastard Yu Xian said is true or false, Your Majesty should make preparations in advance."

"The ginger tea healer is a great treasure, a good treasure that will benefit you, the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince."

"If you can bring that bastard Yu Xian back, you must keep her here to help you and the Crown Prince, making her your most powerful assistant, so that you can become famous in the M31 star system and bring joy to more people?"

The Mermaid Queen turned around, rested her head on the male mermaid's arm, looked at him, and touched his face: "I know, I will prepare well. As long as the Sixth Princess can marry the Crown Prince of the Zhenlin Empire and give birth to the heir of the Zhenlin Empire, the Zhenlin Empire will be half-owned by the Mermaid Kingdom."

"When the time comes, I'll think of a way to kill the king, let my son inherit the throne of the mermaid clan, and give away all those illegitimate children raised in the deep-sea palace as playthings and gifts. Then I'll take you to the deep sea, find a place with the best water quality and resources, build a palace, and we'll live there, just the two of us."

As the handsome male mermaid met her gaze, his clear eyes gradually became hazy: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

The Mermaid Queen kissed him and praised him, "So good~~"

The handsome male mermaid took the initiative, bending down and pinning down the mermaid queen.

The mermaid queen went limp, and her legs transformed into fish tails that wrapped around the legs of the handsome male mermaid.

"My God, with my uncle's scheme, I feel like my Zhenlin Empire has lost all face and dignity."

After browsing through the comments on the StarNet, Sui Xuanchu saw a large number of speculative and negative comments, feeling that the Empire had lost all face and dignity.

Jiang Chacha retorted, "Can appearances and substance be as valuable as NI2.BI3.BI4, PK_C67 grapefruit extract?"

Sui Xuan Chu hummed in response and truthfully replied, "No, the Merfolk have been monopolizing NI2.BI3.BI4 and PJ_C67 lycopene, driving up the prices to exorbitant levels. They also increase the prices by 20% and 50% annually, selling only when they feel like it and refusing to sell when they don't."

"They are also one of the raw materials for sustainable fuel extraction. Currently, there is no alternative, and there are no mineral resources more than those of the Merfolk. We can only grit our teeth and swallow our anger to import them from them."

"According to our agreement, they killed the mermaid king and queen, and in return, they provided us with 4 million tons of these four items every year at a 1000% discount. Not only did this save us money, but the refined products could enable our country's flying, land-based, and water-based creatures to sail continuously without interruption."

"Compared to appearances and substance, nothing else matters. What matters most is the actual things. And for a planet like the Merfolk's, where the ocean covers more than 80 or 90 percent of the surface, there are plenty of good things in the deep sea."

"As someone who hasn't truly taken power yet, I also hope that my company will have more and more good things, and that we can acquire things that we don't have with minimal profit—that would be the best!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chacha spread her hands: "Your analysis is so accurate, and you're still telling me that the empire has lost both its face and its substance?"

Sui Xuan Chu chuckled: "I was just making a comment, nothing more."

Jiang Chacha rolled her eyes at him: "Go back to your seat!"

Sui Xuan Chu snapped to attention and saluted her sharply: "Yes, Commander!"

Jiang Chacha leaned back in the command chair, her hand resting on her belly. When she had five babies inside, the space was probably too small, and the five babies were very lively.

Now only two cubs remain, and they are not lively at all; most of the time, they sleep quietly.

Jiang Chacha made a cultivation incantation with her hand and cultivated while waiting to watch the monitoring, hoping to recover more of her magical power.

Experts from all sides in the Great Western Kingdom are also analyzing what the Zhenlin Empire's official statement is trying to achieve under the guise of space pirates.

Zhong Lihe didn't even bother to analyze it. He just sent a message to mock him: "Hey, you got raided by space pirates. Which space pirates? Where did they start raiding from? Get me a map of the route so I can use it to raid your house next time we have a drill."

In the midst of his busy schedule, Chongming finished handling all the mobilization matters before replying to his message: "The Merfolk have recently made some major moves."

Zhong Lihe immediately asked astutely, "Is it related to your family?"

Chongming didn't hide anything and casually asked, "Yes, are you going to send out a long-range ship or a cruiser?"

Zhong Lihe squinted at the message, and replied after a few seconds: "Is there any benefit?"

Chongming: "NI2, BI3, BI4 and PK_C67 lycopene!"

Zhong Lihe exclaimed dramatically, "Wow, my dear old dragon, you've finally decided to target the mermaids for these rare minerals!"

"Alright, alright, if you make your move, I'll make mine too. The Merfolk have six habitable planets, so we'll each take three, and the rest of the star systems will be split in half."

Chong Ming: “…”

Zhong Lihe continued excitedly, "I just glanced at the latest intelligence on the Merfolk. The Merfolk royal family's approval rating has reached negative numbers. The immigrant sea tribes and native Merfolk have been suppressed for too long, and all they need is firepower!"

"If the two of us join forces to divide up the merfolk, we can use a surprise attack and a swift victory. As long as we destroy the merfolk royal family without causing a large-scale death of merfolk, we will be a righteous force!"

"Well, according to the information from our Great Western Kingdom's staff among the Merfolk, the Merfolk's firepower equipment is still at the level of 10 years ago."

"The positions of leadership among active-duty military personnel, reservists, and other leaders, as well as those with important resources, are all occupied by the children of nobles."

"In other words, the merfolk army's leaders are completely incapable of commanding large-scale wars. As long as we launch a full-scale attack from the planet's periphery and cut off all their energy sources, we can make them surrender without a fight!"
