85: Imperial Land Bureau
After successfully obtaining projection privileges, Li Yang's figure instantly appeared in the Guard Division headquarters.
"Hello, Inspector Li, I am Chen Feng, the highest Commander of the Guard Division responsible for the Solar System's garrison mission."
Chen Feng said respectfully, with a face full of smiles.
"A pleasure to meet you, Commander Chen."
Li Yang responded with a smile.
"Oh, I wouldn't call myself a Commander yet, haha."
Hearing Li Yang address him as Commander, Chen Feng, although humbly saying he wasn't, was actually very happy to be called that.
"Why not? Isn't the Guard Division a division-level organization?"
Li Yang asked, puzzled.
"It is indeed a division-level organization, but compared to the more powerful Imperial Guard Division above us, we are still far behind."
Chen Feng sighed slightly, saying with some regret, a trace of unwillingness and longing for a higher level evident in his eyes.
After all, Guard Division personnel are stationed in every Galaxy, but the number of personnel and the rank of the highest military officer are arranged according to the size of the Galaxy.
To be honest, if it weren't for the special circumstances of the Solar System, he, a major, wouldn't have been appointed as the highest Commander of the Guard Division. After all, for other small Galaxies like this, a Captain would usually suffice, and for even worse ones, even a Lieutenant could take office.
Even for a special Galaxy like the Solar System, the number of Guard Division personnel and their equipment level are definitely not as good as the Galaxy Guard Division stationed in the Milky Way.
Although they all carry the title of “Division,” the difference between them is not insignificant.
Li Yang's gaze also fell on Chen Feng's epaulets; he was merely a third-grade major.
"Alright, I won't beat around the bush and will get straight to the point. One of my subordinates was reported to the Guard Division, so I specifically came to handle it. I'll have to trouble Commander Chen."
Li Yang said directly.
"Report? Oh, are you referring to that human from Blue Star?"
"Yes, that's him."
Li Yang nodded in response.
"Don't worry, Inspector Li, since the ownership of Blue Star is in your hands, as long as he hasn't committed serious offenses like treason or rebellion, our Guard Division will not intervene. You can decide on such minor matters. However... how have you handled the Imperial Court's side?"
Chen Feng said with a relaxed, nonchalant expression.
After all, in his opinion, this was indeed a trivial matter. In contrast, the situation with the Imperial Court was the real key that needed careful handling.
"I've already handled the Imperial Court's side properly, which is why I specifically came to trouble Commander Chen."
Li Yang said unhurriedly.
"Hahaha, since the Imperial Court's side is handled, that's fine. Don't worry, Inspector Li, I will immediately delete the report information."
Seeing that Li Yang had already resolved the most difficult issue with the Imperial Court, Chen Feng was naturally happy to do Li Yang this favor. After all, it was just a small report, easy to delete.
"Haha, then I thank Commander Chen for helping to handle the report."
Li Yang said with a smile.
"Report? What report? Inspector Li, weren't you just here for tea and a chat?"
Chen Feng instantly put on a bewildered and confused expression, looking at Li Yang.
Seeing this, Li Yang was slightly startled at first, then quickly understood Chen Feng's intention and quickly agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes, I just came for tea and a chat."
Then the two looked at each other, understood each other, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Thus, with Li Yang personally stepping in, the report concerning Liu Zhi completely disappeared. Now, they only needed to wait for the Imperial Court hearing.
As for the outcome of the hearing, it was naturally without suspense, ending with Liu Zhi's complete victory.
Instead, the four-armed alien was accused of multiple crimes, including malicious assault on an Imperial Official, malicious assault on an Imperial human, and privately purchasing artifacts in violation of the Blue Star treaty.
Once these charges were laid, he would basically spend the rest of his life in an Imperial prison.
As for Liu Zhi, he only received a “serious” public reprimand from the Blue Star Management Department... "Oh, I finally managed to sort out Liu Zhi's matter, but thanks to this incident, I also made two pretty good connections."
After finishing all his tasks, Li Yang lay lazily on a chair on the star destroyer, sighing.
Although a lot of time was spent on this matter, he also took the opportunity to establish connections with Cheng Quan and Chen Feng.
It must be said that in the Solar System today, what Li Yang says goes, after all, the highest Decision Makers of both the Imperial Court and the Imperial Guard Division are now his own people.
"Pal, has that planet still not been found?"
Li Yang frowned slightly, his expression a little anxious.
To find this planet, the fleet had been sailing for nearly half a month. If it wasn't found soon, the Assessment Assembly would begin, and he would have to attend in person, not just through projection.
"Reporting, Captain Li Yang, according to the star map in the crystal ball, it should be found in about one more day."
"Alright, one day it is. Anyway, I have to rush back in at most another week."
Li Yang said helplessly.
A day later, as Pal expected, the fleet finally arrived at the mysterious planet.
The planet's volume was half that of Blue Star, and its surface showed no trace of blue-green vitality; all that was visible was a depressing earthy gray, completely a barren, desolate planet with no signs of life or civilization.
Li Yang's face was full of confusion and bewilderment.
"This thing? Is this the planet? Pal, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Looking at this planet, half the size of Blue Star and devoid of life, Li Yang asked Pal three consecutive questions in confusion.
Pal did not dare to neglect, and quickly picked up the crystal ball, carefully comparing the star map location recorded inside again.
"Captain Li Yang, according to the star map displayed in the crystal ball, this planet is indeed the one we are looking for."
After examining the star map in the crystal ball, Pal answered with a firm tone.
Anyway, don't blame me, only blame the star map.
Although the result was very unexpected, this planet was indeed not mistaken; it was the planet recorded in the crystal ball.
"Forget it, I'll report it to the Imperial Bureau of Territory to confirm whether it is or not."
Although it was highly probable that this planet was their target planet, Li Yang still decided to confirm with the Imperial Bureau of Territory, as the crystal ball was their product.
"Yes."
Despite his own doubts, Pal could only contact the Imperial Bureau of Territory according to Li Yang's instructions.
After all, even he found it somewhat hard to believe that this planet would be their long-sought target planet, as it was simply too small and a barren, lifeless world.
"This is the Imperial Bureau of Territory of the Xili Empire, how may I help you?"
The polite inquiry of a Staff member came from the other end of the communicator.
"Hello, we found the planet recorded in your product, the crystal ball, but it is too small and too barren, so we would like to confirm with you whether there was an error in the celestial body's record."
Pal explained as clearly as possible.
"Please send me the serial number recorded in the crystal ball, and I will check it for you immediately."
Pal then held the crystal ball in his hand and carefully examined it. On the very edge of the crystal ball, he indeed found a string of codes recorded. Subsequently, Pal quickly sent the code to the Imperial Bureau of Territory.
