Chapter 386, the time is ripe
"It was Gu Hang who tempted me to rebel!"
What Minnick shouted is indeed the truth from a certain perspective.
Salihovich was the enforcer.
He started this work more than a year ago when he came to the Farches system and took over from the previous diplomatic ambassador.
He had met with many senior members of the Fachers family in various semi-public and secret meetings. They declared to them that the Alliance also hated the current sector government and was very sympathetic to the situation of the Fachers family.
There are very few people who question his lying. At most, they think there is a bit of diplomacy in his words.
The alliance is indeed not at odds with the sector government. Since the death of Peddes, the "Pegasus Iron Triangle" has ceased to exist, and after Gu and Fofana came together to create a third-party neutral faction, that was even more so. Go straight to a cold relationship.
The Fachers family was celebrating at the time. The enemy's strength was weakened and neutral factions appeared. That was of course a good thing.
Faches, who has a history of ruling for thousands of years, looks down upon the 'upstart' alliance. However, they also believe that the Alliance is similar to them in some aspects - they are both multi-planetary political entities that have bad relations with the sector government.
This kind of political entity must have a bad relationship with the sector government, and Farches would not doubt it.
On this basis, Salihovich will further lead these senior officials to imagine that the Alliance and Faches have the basis to join forces, whether it is to bypass the sector government, or to use some more drastic and tougher means to Drive away the current head of the sector.
These words are usually said in private and in a joking manner. This is not a specific policy, it's just that everyone is thinking about it, so what?
However, didn't these activities slowly inject a concept into the minds of the senior members of the Fachers family?
Of course, if there is only a concept, it doesn't mean much.
During these conversations, Salihovich will find people with whom he can truly communicate in depth. In private, he will have more in-depth discussions about whether cooperation between the two parties is feasible. He also hopes that these high-level people can push the Fachers family to adopt more Toughly resist the measures taken by the sector government.
To put it bluntly, Salihovich is provoking the hawks within Fachers and making them more violent.
Even go a step further and urge these hawks to take some action.
In fact, he was not the only one taking action.
After all, Salihovich is a diplomat. Even if he has reached his limit at this point, many of his actions will still be watched.
But in addition to him, the alliance has another group of manpower operating on Faches.
That's someone from the Alliance Intelligence Agency.
Their actions were more secretive and unscrupulous than Salikhovich's. Bribery, seize the opportunity, and even assassinate some people who will particularly affect the plan and disguise it as an accident.
But to be honest, their earlier actions were not smooth and were full of difficulties.
However, until the huge fine requested by the league was announced, their work suddenly became smoother.
Regardless of the radicals or conservatives, hawks or doves in the Fachers family, under the huge amount of money, they all boiled over, and they expressed their opinions towards Minnick, who had taken over the family for seven years and led to the collapse of Koroga. The failure brought huge fines to the family head, which caused great dissatisfaction.
In such an environment, the Alliance Intelligence Agency took care of many people.
Then, under the instigation of Salikhovich, a large number of middle and high-level officials of the Fachers family began to have clear thoughts of going to war.
On the one hand, they are being severely oppressed, and a tough attitude is indeed a solution; on the other hand, the alliance says it stands with them, and they really believe it. They thought this was a solution and believed that the alliance would indeed stand with them, so they kept making suggestions and lobbying. Minnick heard this, and he believed it.
Therefore, through diplomatic work, the secret efforts of agents of the Intelligence Bureau, and the fact that Faches might have had some thoughts in this regard, Faches's rebellion was finally promoted.
Then, the alliance rebelled.
Farches was dumbfounded.
What I originally thought was the biggest foreign aid has now become a life-threatening talisman!
This is the end of the big egg!
Salihovich was under tremendous pressure as an ambassador for the alliance.
However, two effects followed immediately.
The most superficial one is, of course, the anger of being betrayed by an 'ally'.
But hidden beneath this anger is huge panic.
After the rebellion began, there was great dissatisfaction among the conservative members of the Fachers family. There are also some compromisers and capitulators who live in fear of the empire.
Although Minnick seemed to have transferred the conflict to the outside world through this move, in fact, the dissatisfaction was not completely eliminated, but was hidden because he did not dare and could not.
These have all become opportunities that the Foreign Intelligence Agency can look for.
The foreign aid that he relied on turned around and became a counter-insurgency army. How could Faches resist?
The Alliance's ability was clearly demonstrated in the Battle of Koroga; the Pegasus fleet stood on their side; even the former pride of the Falches people, the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion, became the vanguard to attack them.
Facing such an opponent, can the Falches Defense Force withstand it?
Indeed, landing operations are not easy, especially since Samsung has relatively complete orbital defenses. However, no matter how much damage they can cause to their opponents, ultimate failure seems inevitable.
When the time comes, the more people you let die in the alliance, the more unlucky you will be.
If there is an invasion by some alien aliens or some cult rebels, there is no way to compromise, and they will not give you generous surrender terms just because you surrender. No matter how difficult the war to exterminate a race is, it can only be fought for survival.
But fighting to the death with the Alliance and the Empire, what the hell is that for?
In the early stage, the intelligence collected by Salikhovich and the Foreign Intelligence Service respectively played a role. They quickly identified who would be swayed, and even more clearly who among them could win over or even instigate rebellion.
By now, many people have vague contacts with the Foreign Intelligence Service and Salikhovich.
Moreover, with the blockade of the Pegasus fleet and the arrival of the Alliance army, many people who were not originally on the list came to find them.
They couldn't find the agent, and they had never even had contact with the agent. They didn't know that Faches was so deeply infiltrated, so they had no other choice but to take the risk and secretly meet Salikhovich.
They often express that they are loyal members of the empire and never want to rebel. Farches is also loyal, but Minnick, the head of the family, is not very loyal.
At this point, Salikhovich felt that the time had come.
