"It is expected that overall attention will peak in nine hours. Currently, the trend is that the proportion of people who support the White Ghost is slowly declining.

"The strategy we devised has had initial effects, and public fear of the White Ghost has begun to form.

"On the interstellar side, the data we can track shows that related topics have exceeded 1.25 trillion in heat. Many interstellar citizens are paying attention to this matter, with 62% of statements supporting the White Ghost, considering its eradication of terrorist organizations as an act of justice, even if the methods are somewhat intense. Considering the complete eradication of an organization, this is a significant achievement.

"Statements attacking the White Ghost, on the other hand, are concentrated in the democratic camp led by the New Federation, among which the Central Intelligence Agency's trolls are numerous.

"We detected that network servers within the New Federation have been fully activated, indicating their mobilization of massive network resources for flooding.

"What feels strangest to us is that the White Ghost, which is usually most adept in public opinion battles, hasn't spoken up at all now.

"Director, according to our understanding of the White Ghost... it's somewhat unsettling."

"Ah, when will you let me sleep peacefully," Director Eno turned over and sat up, "Compile the data and give it to me... Inform Daphne, let her reach the White Ghost's side as soon as possible, I need to know the current situation of the White Ghost at all times."

"Yes!"

The assistant said solemnly, "Director, should we utilize more methods? Just using online public opinion is ultimately too illusory, its practical significance isn't substantial."

Director Eno looked up at the assistant and asked seriously, "Has the White Ghost rebelled?"

"No, Director."

"Are you trying to force him to rebel?"

"No..."

"Any other issues?"

"None, Director."

"Notify the Military Department, accelerate mobilization actions around Saka Star, and also let the Military Department deploy a Dreadnought over there, conducting periodic exercises in the airspace near Saka Star."

Director Eno murmured:

"To subdue Hanton, mere public opinion is not enough, but other methods are useless too, only real threats.

"If it truly becomes impossible for Hanton and the Empire to coexist, then we must destroy him at all costs.

"Prepare for the loss of public opinion control."

"Yes!"

...

Meanwhile, on the East Wind.

Yang Ming closed the data list in front of him and sat in the chair, carefully contemplating the current situation.

"Lyu, we have too much initiative."

"Too much?" Lyu was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Basically, the current situation is under our control. Although the Empire can't find any real evidence, they can feel they are very passive," Yang Ming said, "To really make this public opinion storm blow up, we need to give the other side some initiative, even though this will add some uncontrollable factors, it can prevent the opponent from directly using force."

Lyu thought carefully for a moment.

Yang Ming said, "Do as I say, release our second video."

"The one where you apologize?"

"Yes," Yang Ming chuckled, "The Empire's current strategy is to denounce me secretly while encouraging me on the surface, so we'll force them to take a stance."

"Uh, Boss... a Dreadnought has received orders to head to the vicinity of Saka Star... just received. It's expected to deploy outside Saka Star in nine Galaxy Time."

Yang Ming turned and glared at Lyu.

Lyu pursed his lips slightly, "Saka Star is no longer safe, Boss, I suggest we avoid Saka Star, personal safety is paramount."

"It's okay, I still have reserve cells."

"For now, it's impossible to judge whether reserve cells can truly revive, and whether there will be any negative effects after revival."

Boss Yang pursed his lips, frowned, crossed his legs, and looked at the Star Map ahead with a trace of determination in his eyes.

"Just go to Saka, Dreadnought or not," Yang Ming said, "Later, keep the East Wind at the furthest particle transmission distance, ready at all times. If the Empire wants to take risks, then we'll show our hand directly. How many of the latest model terminators are now in production?"

"We can directly mobilize 120 units, estimating a 95% assassination success rate. With the experience from the last assassination, we've completed comprehensive upgrades."

"All terminators ready at the Empire's border! The target is all locatable members of the Sherman family! Let Guina be ready to flee with Emilia at any time! Dark Star into combat readiness, ready to retreat from the boundary of human civilization at any time! Make this public opinion war as grand as possible."

"Yes!"
