1590. Seed of rebellion

"I don't know where your suspicion comes from, and I don't know why you told me this." Matt-Hona's face turned cold.

"I hope you can cooperate with us in collecting evidence and cooperate with our actions when necessary." Helmut-Baron Zemo said.

"Haha...'you'? Which 'you' is it?" Matt-Hona asked.

"'We' refers to the people who should handle this matter. Including... but not limited to, Internal Affairs Department, Military Intelligence Department..." Although Helmut-Zemo had a smile on his face, there was no warmth in the smile.

"You want me to be your executioner? It's a joke! Volgograd-Kanidi is the one who will never betray! In his opinion, betrayal is more painful than death Shame!" Matt-Hona's tone contained anger, "And you should understand who you are talking to now! It's Commander of the Duchy of Dawn Navy!"

"That's why I'm here in person and talking to you in a consultative tone." Zemo said.

"If there is nothing else, I will close the communication." Matt-Hona said coldly, "Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Baron Zemo."

"I sincerely suggest that you listen to the reasons I'm going to say next, Admiral Horner." Zemo didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations. He said calmly, "As I just said, you are judging based on character and cognition, while I am judging human nature."

Matt-Hona's hand reaching for the close button stopped at the last moment. He turned around and said, "Well, I'm also very interested in hearing what your reasons are for accusing Kanidi of betrayal."

"First of all, I need to correct one thing. I am not accusing Kanidi, nor do I think he has betrayed now. I am trying to guard against what may happen in the future, such as during Galactic Republic's attack." Zemo said.

"Say." Matt-Hona looked a little embarrassed.

"In my hands, there is a secret investigation report. In Modell Sector, the proportion of people who believe that this war was introduced by Dawn Star Planet and that they should not bear the responsibility for the war has exceeded 50%. And as Modell Sector becomes the area that accepts the largest number of Rendili Planet immigrants, this proportion is still increasing." Zemo raised a data memory in his hand.

Then he continued, "Unlike Sith Vena star sector and Hoth Sector who have been in the flames of war, Modell Sector has only been providing money, materials and soldiers. The flames of war seem to be far away from them. In addition, The population of Modell Sector is mainly composed of external immigrants. Compared with the Modell Sector that they have reclaimed every inch of land, they do not have much sense of belonging to Duchy of Dawn. And what I want to say is..."

Helmut-Zemo's tone gradually became cold, "Volgograd-Kanidi, as Sector Governor, did not stop such a trend of thought. Compared with the other two sectors, Modell Sector's ideological and political propaganda has always been very scarce, and it can even be said that it has hardly been carried out."

Matt-Hona said lightly, "Volgograd-Kanidi's character means that he will never do anything that violates his own code of conduct. He certainly will not carry out some exaggerated or even false propaganda. Personally, I do not agree with his actions, but this should not be the reason for his betrayal."

"What about this?" Zemo took out another piece of data.

"Medical examination report?" Matt-Hona frowned.

"This is the inspection report of Volgograd-Kanidi's adjutant, He Yuan." Zemo said, "She is pregnant. And, given the close relationship between her and Kanidi, the boy she is carrying is probably Kanidi's."

Matt-Hona's focus was not here. He asked coldly, "Are you monitoring Kanidi? And you can even get the medical examination report? What about me? Are we people also being monitored by you in every detail?"

"Actually, there is a certain degree of surveillance. But you are not on our list, so the level of surveillance is not high. In fact, this may have some benefits..." Zemo said, "For example, two months ago, your fiancée Mira-Han encountered an ambush while robbing a Hutt transport fleet. Our people secretly helped her eliminate one of the ambushers."

"So, I have to thank you for monitoring me?" Matt-Hona's tone became increasingly cold.

"Oh, you're welcome." Zemo responded with a smile, and then he said, "Back to the topic, we think the appearance of this child will have some impact on Volgograd-Kanidi. After all, it is of great significance to have a son when you are old. Ah... Moreover, in our secret evaluation, He Yuan's score is not high. Unfortunately, Kanidi does not allow us to interfere with Modell Sector's personnel affairs. We currently do not think it is time to take extreme actions."

"So, you want me to help Kanidi while Annaj Planet builds the defense system, and even arrest him directly if necessary? I may even take on the task of suppressing the possible rebellion of Modell Sector?" Matt-Hona asked in return.

"Indeed, Admiral Horner." Zemo replied.

"Hehehehe..." Matt-Hona laughed coldly for a while and said, "It's not your Internal Affairs Department's turn to interfere with our army's affairs, so get out of here."

With a snap, he involuntarily slapped it hard and closed the communication.

After the screen disappeared, Matt-Hona rubbed his forehead and sighed, "You are a good general, a good governor, and a good soldier... but you are also a fucking bastard! It's best not to let me catch you one day..."

He calmed down, then left the spaceship and took the shuttle to fly towards the capital of Annaj Planet.

Arriving at Tang Xiao's temporary residence, Matt-Hona took a deep breath, pressed the prompter, and after receiving a response, opened the door and entered.

"Sir, I have led the fleet to arrive and will take over the overall defense of Annaj system from now on." Matt-Hona said to Tang Xiao standing in front of the window.

"As one of the opponents of this combat plan, I entrust this task to you. Can I trust your performance?" Tang Xiao asked without looking back.

"As a soldier, I will only make my own suggestions and implement them resolutely based on the final decision. No matter whether this decision is consistent with my suggestions or not. And the most important thing is that I trust your strength and wisdom." Matt-Hona said seriously.
