Chapter 805 - 329: Press Conference Obstructed
As the Wind Army entered the venue, the previously noisy chatter immediately quieted down.
This giant conference center covers more than five thousand square meters, resembling a stack of dozens of giant circular rings. Each seat is equipped with a levitation feature, and once attendees appear, the pre-assigned seat actively flies over, bringing the attendee to their designated spot after they sit down.
Yang Ming's seat was in an inconspicuous corner, surrounded by military majors, without any special treatment.
This made him quite satisfied.
In the center of the venue was a floating round platform, with a long conference table on top. Above the conference table hung six giant projection screens, displaying the details below to every attendee.
The signing ceremony will be completely open and transparent.
The military was relatively late in coming, and once their dozens of people were seated, outside attendees started receiving entry reminders.
Yang Ming took out his internet terminal, browsing the networks within the Wind Empire.
Goodness, the top ten hot searches on several major portals are all about today's alliance conference.
Some people are analyzing what kind of development opportunities this alliance will bring, some are taking the opportunity to hype up inherently bad garbage concepts, and some are simply riding the wave.
Incidentally, Yang Ming also found today's conference agenda on the internet.
First is the preparatory stage; after the dignitaries from the four nations enter, the song and dance performances will begin.
Then it's Edwan's speech, followed by the signing ceremony. Only after the signing ceremony will the dignitaries from the three smaller nations give their speeches.
Yang Ming anticipates the latter half might be somewhat dull.
They moved the signing ceremony to the middle of the conference, seemingly to avoid any unforeseen delays.
Yang Ming exited the regular internet and connected to the military-specialized network, opening the stereoscopic map of Ilando Star to check the troop deployment in various locations.
It can be said that currently, Ilando Star has concentrated eighty percent of the Wind Empire's military forces.
Additionally, a powerful firepower fleet from Dark Star is in the transition preparation stage, ready to be called in for support from the Dark Star Base Two at any time.
The defensive network around Ilando Star also looked quite familiar to Yang Ming.
This seems to have... copied the planetary defense system of New Federation Minter City?
Although the number of orbital autonomous cannons is far less than in Minter City, this defense system has clearly already formed a formidable fighting force.
Besides all this, Yang Ming also saw deep-sea control minefields, high-power radar arrays, and advanced gravitational wave detection networks...
Gone are the days when the New Federation could plunge Ilando Star into the darkest times with just one electromagnetic jamming ship!
This is the result of Edwan's hard work and effort.
Of course, behind Edwan's efforts is Yang Ming's development plan for the Wind military power, and Lyu's wholehearted support in various fields.
The Molly Miss Group already has many secret military-industrial operations, and the sheer size and comprehensive range of this group have already been able to sustain the normal operations of the Wind Empire from fifty years ago.
"Good job."
Yang Ming chuckled lightly.
A nearby major glanced over and gave Yang Ming a polite smile, while also being somewhat puzzled by the fleeting stereoscopic map before Yang Ming.
'How come this guy's map looks a bit different from the one I can view, and the information points seem multiplied by dozens of times.'
This silver-haired major pondered slightly, then immediately understood something when he recalled the relationship between Gudun Mah and the young man beside him.
The access rights must be through the roof.
Beautiful singing has already been heard from below, as several local singing artists from Wind began to offer their blessings for peace and prosperity.
Participants from outside the venue started their final entries.
A light applause was heard from the left, then the applause spread throughout the entire circular platform.
The tall and burly Edwan, dressed in a sharp suit, stepped into the venue, waving continuously to all sides.
Yang Ming, with his keen eyes, immediately noticed that Edwan was equipped with emergency Protection Shield generators scattered across his wristwatch, brooch, buttons, belt, and... tail... ahem, the last one wasn't relevant; in short, Edwan was covered with them.
Averting assassination with advanced technology.
Behind Edwan, Emilia, wearing a floor-length gown, shyly nodded greetings to all around.
The spotlight converged on the siblings, leaving a deep impression on the attendees with Edwan's handsome 'Emperor' aura, and Emilia's beauty and graceful composure.
In the front row, Gudun Mah and Dabuki simultaneously stood up and saluted, while over one hundred generals from the four nations' Military Department stood up in unison to give the highest regard to the Emperor of the Wind Empire.
Yang Ming inexplicably felt a bit emotional.
Looking at Edwan and Emilia, he couldn't shake off the illusion that the little brothers he once guided had finally amounted to something.
Edwan noticed Yang Ming and waved vigorously at him.
Yang Ming didn't shy away, and slid his fingers across his forehead, responding to the gesture.
Their good personal relationship has now been publicly acknowledged at a formal occasion.
Yet, Emilia was very restrained, only slightly nodding towards Yang Ming before following her brother to sit in the exclusive seats in the first row.
Yang Ming raised an eyebrow.
The young lady behaved well; after the meeting, he should test her knowledge.
However.
Ding ding! Ding ding ding!
Just as Yang Ming sat down, his internet terminal rang loudly, which he quickly covered and switched to vibration mode.
Emilia's avatar flashed frequently.
Yang Ming opened privacy mode for a quick glance and suddenly felt a bit helpless yet amused.
