Chapter 786 New Wei Society

Imperial military base.

"How did you do that, Aoyama?"

Colonel Edmund Walpole, with his legs crossed, sat back in the swivel chair behind his desk, looking at the young man sitting in front of him with a curious expression and asking a question.

"To be honest, Colonel, before I transferred to the Imperial Naval Academy, I was always number one at Clifton College, and I broke many individual records at Calida Military Academy."

Fu Qinghai smiled and spoke.

“Calida Military Academy Clifton College? I’ve heard of it; the cradle of Imperial Stormtrooper officers.”

The colonel nodded, a knowing look on his face.

"No wonder... With such strong individual combat skills, it's a bit of a waste for you to transfer to the Naval Academy. What were you thinking?"

"The school required me to transfer..."

Fu Qinghai gave a brief account of the whole story.

"I see. You're quite the all-rounder."

The colonel once again expressed his praise without reservation.

The two chatted briefly in the office, mainly with Colonel Walpole praising Fu Qinghai and trying to build a closer relationship before Fu Qinghai took his leave.

……

Imperial military base, canteen.

Fu Qinghai and Elowen walked side by side into the officers' mess hall. As soon as they entered, they attracted a lot of attention. Many Imperial officers who were queuing for food or eating at their tables turned their eyes toward them, mainly to Fu Qinghai.

"Is it him? That pilot from Caleda?"

"It seems so...she looks very young."

"One person captured a frigate, tsk tsk."

"Young people these days are too exaggerated."

The officers at the table were whispering among themselves.

Fu Qinghai overheard their hushed conversation.

Aylward felt slightly uncomfortable under the collective gaze and subconsciously moved a little closer to Fu Qinghai. The officers' mess hall was a buffet style. Fu Qinghai calmly walked to the food counter, picked up a fried Nunna chicken leg, and turned around to meet an officer carrying a tray.

"Awesome, bro."

The other person patted him on the shoulder and walked past.

Fu Qinghai and Ailovin arrived at the fruit stand. Ailovin had just picked up a meluren fruit when a middle-aged officer, having finished his meal, walked past them with an empty plate and gave Fu Qinghai a thumbs-up across the stand.

"Well done, young man!"

Fu Qinghai smiled and nodded in response.

Just as Fu Qinghai and Ailoven sat down with their trays, a woman in a pale white uniform and black riding breeches also came over with a tray and sat down opposite them.

"I'd like to talk to your boyfriend alone."

The woman looked at Elowin and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Elwin raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a second, and then decisively picked up his plate and left.

The woman turned to look at Fu Qinghai and said:
"Let me introduce myself. I am Soma Uller, an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau's Surveillance Division, responsible for intelligence work across the entire sector, including Sereno. You can call me Lieutenant Uller."

Soma Uller was a brown-skinned woman with her black hair tightly tied up, a high and narrow hooked nose, thin lips, prominent cheekbones, and a somewhat harsh demeanor.

"Qingshan, student."

Fu Qinghai began briefly.

"No need for introductions, I've seen your file."

Soma Uller waved his hand and said.

“We inspected all the smuggled goods on that frigate, and the ores in the warehouse, including large quantities of Ronmiite and Duenzoite. Do you know what that means?”

Lieutenant Wule scooped up a spoonful of fried rice, staring intently at Fu Qinghai, and asked questions as he ate.

Fu Qinghai shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Lonmistone and dunnage are raw materials for manufacturing refractory steel, which is the most commonly used military steel for manufacturing warships."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Lieutenant Uller said:
"This is a very unusual signal. If they need steel to repair their ships, they can just buy finished steel products directly. What would they need raw materials for? For robbers and bandits, all they need to do is find a way to buy a batch of guns. Only the army needs an arsenal. Do you understand what I mean?"

Fu Qinghai tore off a piece of chicken leg, nodded, and said:

“You think there’s something wrong with the buyers of these smugglers, and you suspect that this batch of ore is being supplied to the rebels’ shipyard.”

"Yes."

Lieutenant Wule finished her meal in a few bites, pushed the empty plate and spoon aside, crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her legs, looking at Fu Qinghai.

“Any large-scale commodity trade within the Empire is monitored by the Imperial Bureau of Standards. I suspect that some people may find it too troublesome to bypass the Bureau of Standards’ monitoring and purchase large quantities of refractory steel, and want to find a way directly from the ore raw materials.”

Lieutenant Ule said, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

The Imperial Standards Bureau is somewhat similar to the Auditor General in the real world; by monitoring the flow and transaction information of various goods in the holographic network, they can also uncover some clues.

“So… excuse my intrusion, Lieutenant Uller.”

Fu Qinghai put the chicken leg bone aside and said:

"What does all of this have to do with me?"

"I'm going to follow this lead."

Lieutenant Wule looked directly at Fu Qinghai and said calmly:

"I want you to join my investigation team."

"me?"

Fu Qinghai pointed to his nose and asked.

"Yes."

Lieutenant Uller nodded and said seriously:

"Thank you for killing more than seventy Abyssians on the frigate and for leaving us a prisoner. It's a pity that the guy was not of high rank and we were unable to get any key information from him. But I did find some clues from his confession and now I am going to follow this lead."

"I had my colleagues transfer all your files from Calida. Before you transferred to the Imperial Naval Academy, you were trained exactly like a stormtrooper officer. You got full marks in all your courses, including hand-to-hand combat, firearms shooting, vehicle driving, and wilderness survival... My God, someone like you should be assigned to our Imperial Security Bureau. Someone who can fight and fly a spaceship is simply the perfect field agent."

Lieutenant Uller exclaimed dramatically, spreading his arms wide.

You flatter me.

Fu Qinghai casually made a polite remark.

"However, your direct superior is still Colonel Edmund Walpole, so I can't just transfer you to my investigation team directly. It depends on your personal wishes. If you are interested in joining my department, I will submit an application to the higher-ups."

Lieutenant Wule composed himself and looked at Fu Qinghai.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghai fell into deep thought.

“You guys haven’t officially graduated yet, right? I admit that being a field agent for the Imperial Security Bureau is a bit more dangerous than patrolling a planet in a TIE fighter jet, but if the investigation yields results, I will definitely report the truth to the Calida Military Academy.”

Lieutenant Uller casually tossed out her chip.

"I agree to join your department."

Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghai immediately laughed and said:

"I just love an exciting life."

……

Fu Qinghai and Ai Luowen had just walked out of the cafeteria.

Eli Nelli walked over and waved, saying:

"Qingshan, Director Anulf is looking for you."

"Who?"

Fu Qinghai stopped and asked in confusion.

"Belin Anulf of the New Vision Office."

Eli Nelli began to explain:
"He requests that you come to the New Vision Society's office."

Fu Qinghai and Elowen exchanged a glance.

……

Imperial military base, sixth floor.

Fu Qinghai arrived at the door of the Xinwei Association office. The door was open, and Fu Qinghai raised his hand and knocked on the door frame next to it.

"Please come in, Qingshan."

A loud voice came from the room.

Fu Qinghai walked into the office. A man with a high hairline and dark brown curly hair was sitting behind the desk. He was probably in his thirties, not very tall, and slightly overweight.

The room was decorated with a large red imperial flag hanging from the ceiling to the floor, along with numerous propaganda posters and a portrait of Schiff Palpatine.

"Hello, Director Anulf."

Fu Qinghai put his hands behind his back, spread his legs, and raised his head.

"Don't be so formal, Aoyama."

The man stood up from behind his desk, gestured for Fu Qinghai to sit on the sofa next to him, and then sat down next to Fu Qinghai, putting his hand on Fu Qinghai's shoulder.

"We were fortunate enough to witness a remarkable operation that will be recorded in the annals of the Empire's military history; it was truly extraordinary."

Arnulf immediately showered him with praise:
"The extraordinary courage, precise decision-making, and outstanding tactical skills you displayed during the operation are worthy of serious study by every soldier of the Empire. At critical moments, only a soldier like you could shoulder such a heavy responsibility and break through the complex and difficult situation to achieve victory! This is not only a perfect victory, but also a glorious testament to the will, wisdom, and responsibility of the soldiers of the Empire!"

"You flatter me, Director."

Fu Qinghai could only feign politeness and say:

"It is my duty, and I must do my utmost."

"I called you over here because I wanted to ask you something."

Director Anulf said in a friendly tone:

"Are you interested in joining the New Vision Society?"

Oh? You're inviting me to join the New Vision Club?
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghai's heart stirred slightly.

The New Order Committee (新维会) is officially known as the "New Order Maintenance Committee".

The New Order Preservation Council was originally the Council for the Protection of the Republic, a populist movement composed of loyalists during the Clone Wars. After the founding of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine reorganized the Council for the Protection of the Republic into the New Order, a state-funded political propaganda tool used to spread and promote the core ideology established by the Emperor—the New Order.

Although nominally an official propaganda agency, the New Vygotsky wields considerable power, influencing every aspect of imperial life, including art, science, law enforcement, publishing, media, youth education, and even expanding its influence within the military. It is a state-sponsored political religion highly adept at shaping public sentiment.

The New Vygotsky primarily promotes two ideologies: xenophobia and human supremacy. In its teaching materials and media propaganda, the New Vygotsky exaggerates human achievements while downplaying or even completely erasing the influence and role of other races in the galactic development. It portrays these other races as "foreigners" and "strangers," shaping them into dangerous animals who enjoy lying, deceiving, and manipulating others for personal gain.

Yes, animals and people of other races are not considered human.

In addition, the New Vision Society has several subordinate organizations, such as the "Progressive Alliance" and the "Pre-Adult Group," which makes the New Vision Society look very much like... Fu Qinghai thought about it seriously.

It's very similar to the numerous youth political organizations that Russia established at Putin's behest: "Nash," "Youth Army," "The Locals," "Youth Guardians," "United Russia," and so on. They all share the common labels of right-wing and populism. The difference is that New Russia has integrated all these far-right organizations under its own control, subjecting them to unified planning and management.

It's not even possible to say that Star Wars is alluding to Russia, because chronologically, Lucasfilm set up the New Void before Russia created these political organizations.

Fu Qinghai only pondered for a second or two.

He then gave his answer.

“I would be very happy to join the New Vision Society, Director.”

Fu Qinghai looked at Anulf and said seriously.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Aoyama."

Director Anulf nodded with satisfaction:

“You are a young man with very high ideological awareness. The Empire needs more young soldiers like you.”

This is almost an inevitable choice.

Fu Qinghai must join the New Wei Society in order to rise rapidly within the Imperial Army's system. Conversely, if he chooses to refuse, the suspicion and investigation against him will be endless. If Fu Qinghai were just an ordinary and mediocre soldier, it wouldn't matter, but his military abilities are exceptionally outstanding. The army will definitely pay attention to his ideology and values ​​to ensure his loyalty.

Anurf registered Fu Qinghai.

They received items such as brooches and armbands.

From then on, he became a member of the New Vision Society.
