Chapter 209 Hailanzhou Situation
In fact, Qin Yue really has no idea of becoming king and hegemony. The purpose of his coming to the Baigen Star District is, firstly, to avoid the war in Wallow, and secondly, to use the senior scientists here to deduce the path to Level 4.
But scientists all have their own ideas. If you don't get what you want, you can only rob it. If you rob other people's scientists, others will definitely not be happy, and they will continue to fight.
Alas, in the world of life, you can’t help yourself!
Qin Yue collected the intelligence from the other four tribes on Hailan Prefecture in the past two years and analyzed it for dozens of minutes. Finally, he had a thorough understanding of the entire Hailan Prefecture.
On the surface, Hailan State is composed of large and small chambers of commerce.
The empire and the federation are hostile to each other, so all kinds of supplies are naturally cut off. However, the more prohibited, the greater the profits from smuggling, which has given rise to countless chambers of commerce, large and small.
At first, the chambers of commerce were all private organizations, but later the big families in the two countries discovered that this industry seemed to be very profitable!
Therefore, they also began to fail, because some people in the big family were rich and could even buy warships, so the chamber of commerce they supported was larger and more powerful.
After they were dismissed, the retail investors in Hailan State were quickly wiped out, leaving only a few chambers of commerce that had started earlier.
Because these big families have clean hands and feet, they cover up their own existence very well and promote themselves and others. They believe that other forces will also have the support behind them, so they use more tools to attack other forces.
Unable to destroy other chambers of commerce openly, they chose to increase the chamber's combat effectiveness and the number of battleships to make the chamber stronger, and then let the chamber of commerce attack other chambers of commerce on their own.
If there are no problems, everyone will be happy; if there are problems, just push it to the chamber of commerce.
I don’t know who started this move first. Not to mention the effect was extremely good, and it also gave birth to a super power in Hailan State, the Xifanhui!
However, the existence of the Western Vatican Association affected the interests of other forces in the eyes. Therefore, it did not take long for countless chambers of commerce to unite and overthrow the Western Vatican Association.
The Western Vatican Council only existed for a total of 12 years from 16985 to 16997.
After 16997, the Western Vatican Association was split into countless small chambers of commerce. Including the already existing chambers of commerce, there were as many as tens of thousands of chambers of commerce existing at the same time!
Some chambers of commerce have absorbed the experience of the Western Vatican Society, and they have desperately increased their investment in battleships, and then they usually transport goods. If they encounter other chambers of commerce, they will immediately transform into star thieves.
Many chambers of commerce were robbed and suffered heavy losses. This also forced other chambers of commerce to start arming themselves. Eventually, it became a tradition that all chambers of commerce had warships and all chambers of commerce would turn into star pirates when they went out, which lasted for several years. At that time, there was no way to do business in Hailan Prefecture. Everyone was busy robbing, so what kind of goods could be transported? Wouldn't it be faster to go out with empty ships to fish for law enforcement and get money by killing the enemies?
As a result, in 17004, everyone stopped taking goods with them when they went out, and just wanted to steal other people's goods. The result was that you couldn't make money, I couldn't make money, no one could make money, and the Chamber of Commerce was completely reduced to a star thief.
Many knowledgeable people feel that this is not possible, but the situation has become such that it cannot be stopped. No one is willing to stop first, and the one who stops first will definitely suffer the most.
The change happened in July 17005 to Atog, a native of Hailan State.
Atog was born in the Colombian clan. In addition to his parents, he also had three sisters and two brothers in his family.
The planet they were on was controlled by the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce only wanted to fight and neither cultivate nor operate. As a result, the entire planet was rich in resources, but extremely poor. The nobles lived extravagantly and had everything they wanted, but the poor had no clothes or clothes. Not to mention the food and the shabby house they live in, they don't even have access to clean water.
In order to live a better life in the future, his three sisters' parents were sold to the nobility, and the money they earned was given by his father to the crew of a certain merchant ship, giving him a chance to board the ship and make money.
Perhaps because of his poor background, Atog is low-key, calm and doesn't like to show off, but he is also extremely intelligent. In less than two months on the ship, he not only learned several languages, but also mastered the distribution areas of several surrounding forces. He learned several skills such as sailing a ship, firing a cannon, commanding operations, repairing power systems, and guarding force fields.
Two months later, his opportunity came. The chamber of commerce they belonged to met an old rival. After the force field of the opponent's warship dispersed, Atog fired a cannon into the opponent's muzzle, causing the bomb to explode. Killed one of the opponent's warships!
Since then, he has been appreciated by the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who promoted him to captain.
Instead of using people from the Chamber of Commerce, Atog returned to his hometown, gathered a group of people as a crew, and then taught them various skills step by step. He chose the smartest people in the entire tribe, and as a result, they learned at an abnormal speed. It was very fast and the effect was very good. In less than 6 months, the ship became famous throughout the chamber of commerce.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce promoted him again and gave him 8 ships to form a small fleet.
He returned to his hometown and formed a pure Colombian fleet. Because they all came from poor backgrounds and selected the best from the best, the Colombian fleet fought bravely, had flexible tactics, and its record was quite exaggerated. It didn't take long for him to He stood out and was completely recognized by the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce promoted him again, not only letting him take over one-third of the entire Chamber of Commerce fleet, but also giving him the right to recruit soldiers freely. This may be a wrong decision in the eyes of later generations, but it was actually normal at the time, because before There has never been a rebellion by a subordinate race.
But Atog rebelled.
He had never been loyal to the Chamber of Commerce. He had been thinking since he was a child, why are we Columbians so smart, but so poor? You nobles look so brainless, and you don't have to do anything except eating and sleeping. Why can you live so well?
After he joined the Chamber of Commerce, he understood the reason. It turned out that it was because I didn't have a fleet!
Now that I have a fleet, I can naturally live such a life, and even live such a life with my race!
After Atog built the Columbia fleet, he rebelled neatly. He used one-third of the Chamber of Commerce's fleet to fight the other two-thirds, and solved the battle neatly.
He killed the president of the Chamber of Commerce and served as the president himself. Then he not only promoted the Columbians, but also attacked all the life planets controlled by the Chamber of Commerce, summoning those smart people to work for him.
His warships began to follow him to conquer the east and the west.
Everyone has a different purpose for fighting. Ordinary chambers of commerce fight to rob supplies. Behind them are the families and forces of the two major countries. They know that fighting is meaningless. Everyone is fighting for interests.
But Atuoge is different. He is from Hailanzhou, and his crew members are also from Hailanzhou. They fight for a better tomorrow!
The purpose of the battle is different, and the will to fight is very different. Atuoge's fleet is invincible and invincible. From 17005 to 17009, Atuoge occupied one-third of Hailanzhou in four years!
At that time, the people of Taiyao Empire thought that Atuoge was behind Xingyao Federation, and Xingyao Federation thought that Atuoge was behind Taiyao Empire, so they fought, but they did not attack Atuoge.
It was not until this time that Atuoge fought all the forces, and everyone realized that this person seemed to have no one behind him?
The first thing they thought of was not to kill Atog, but to subdue him. After all, one-third of the territory represents one-third of the benefits. If any family can subdue Atog, wouldn't they get huge benefits for no reason?
But Atog disagreed. He didn't want to be someone else's puppet. What's more, he thought, since they all want benefits, why don't I go directly to the emperor of Taiyao Empire or the speaker of Xingyao Federation instead of giving it to you families?
The country is definitely not as greedy as those nobles, and the country can give him more things!
He sent people with a large amount of supplies to the capitals of the two countries, trying to buy an official identity, such as a noble identity.
Then, there was no more. Many forces thought that since this person could not be subdued, they could only solve it.
In April 17009, Atog was on his way to the capital of Taiyao Empire. The transport ship had an accident and the whole ship exploded. Atog himself died on the spot.
Many races participated in the forces he left behind. After his death, these races immediately fought for power.
Such a large force that caused headaches for both countries fell apart in just three days under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives.
Later, the major families learned a lesson that they could not push these small races too hard, otherwise these small races would have strong men.
Moreover, in order to facilitate the recruitment of crew members and the development of markets, they could not treat all these races as slaves. If they kept these races, their chambers of commerce would have a place to use their skills, and they would not have to fight each other, because they could rob these local races!
Just in order to fight against Atog, these chambers of commerce also united. They had not fought internally for a long time, and they could sit down and talk calmly, and make three rules.
In November 17009, after several months of arduous negotiations, all chambers of commerce signed a contract called the "Hai Lanzhou Peace Convention". The convention stipulated that all chambers of commerce that joined the convention could not attack each other, and they could share information and resources with each other.
Moreover, the goal should be consistent with the outside world. First, the affiliated races should be blocked from technology, and all technologies should be graded. Technologies exceeding a certain level of the affiliated races should not be allowed to flow into the territory of the affiliated races.
Secondly, the annual material quota of the affiliated races should be set. In order to prevent exhaustion, all the goods of the affiliated races cannot be robbed. Only 12~15% can be robbed. This is called sustainable development.
Third, some obedient affiliated races should be supported to let them fight against the affiliated races left by Atog.
These chambers of commerce also established an organization called the Hailanzhou Business Federation, but the majority of Hailanzhou people prefer to call them the Star Pirate Alliance.
This is the origin of the Star Pirate Alliance. It is said to be a bounty of the Star Pirate Alliance, but it is actually a bounty of the Hailanzhou Business Federation. As for the bounty target, the official statement of the Chamber of Commerce is that it disrupts the order of Hailanzhou, endangers the public security of Hailanzhou, and causes great damage to the business environment of Hailanzhou!
The name of the Elders' Council also comes from this, because the Chamber of Commerce is either called a meeting or a society, so Grayscale follows the local customs and calls this organization the Elders' Council.
After understanding the history of Hailanzhou, you will have a clearer understanding of the current situation in Hailanzhou.
Hailanzhou is now known as the Hailanzhou Business Alliance and the small races. The Hailanzhou Business Alliance occupies 2/3 of the territory, and other local small races occupy 1/3.
Secretly, there are four forces: the two major countries, the local chamber of commerce, and the small races. Among them, the chamber of commerce controlled by the two major countries is the strongest, the local chamber of commerce is weaker, and the small races are the weakest of the four major forces.
These small races are not only technologically backward, but also not united. They can survive and survive independently, all thanks to the Chamber of Commerce.
The principle is just like the United States is unwilling to occupy Mexico. They look down on it, but they can still have a market, provide labor, raw materials, and excrete some garbage.
The Elders' Council belongs to the small races. When Qin Yue first came, the Elders' Council was not conspicuous, but now the major chambers of commerce have set their sights on the Elders' Council.
After all, with the current development speed of the Elders' Council, it is very much like the style of Alag in the past!
No one wants another Alag to appear!
However, the Elders' Council has only occupied one-tenth of the territory now, and its prestige is much worse than that of Alag in the past. Therefore, the Star Pirate Alliance only offers a bounty, rather than taking the initiative.
It is unlikely to take the initiative. They are also composed of countless chambers of commerce. There is no big brother who has the final say. Whoever takes action first will suffer a greater loss. Whoever suffers a loss, not only will others not feel sorry, but will take the opportunity to grab the market you left behind.
As the saying goes, when friendly forces are in trouble, they will not move like a mountain. This is what it means.
"So, the Star Pirates Alliance looks like a mess, but they have two empires behind them, which makes them difficult to deal with. If they are pushed to the limit, the two countries will attack me, and I can't bear it.
Small races are easy to deal with, but if they occupy too much territory, it will easily attract the attention of the two countries. At that time, maybe I will be like Arag, and I don't know when I will die in the starry sky!" Qin Yue frowned. In this case, there are not many options.
Local Chamber of Commerce!
The local chamber of commerce is a merchant that existed before the two empires entered Hailanzhou. Basically, they are big families that existed when Hailanzhou was still part of the Taiyao Empire. This kind of family has a deep foundation. Even if the country is destroyed and Hailanzhou is independent, it has not affected their survival. Instead, they have seized a chance in the chaotic era and stood up again.
To this day, they are still living a very comfortable life. Even without the constraints of the officials and emperors above, their lives are freer!
If you take action against the local chamber of commerce, the chambers of commerce of the two countries will most likely sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, because they don't like the local chamber of commerce either. After all, the local chamber of commerce does not give them money.
They are not afraid that the territory of the Council of Elders will continue to expand, because Qin Yue's side used to be the territory of Arag, and Arag has killed all the local chambers of commerce here.
The surviving local chambers of commerce are far away on the other side of the map. Even if the Council of Elders conquers the local chambers of commerce, they cannot occupy their planets. It is completely a thankless task.
"But such an opponent is just right for me. After all, the local chambers of commerce have a long history and have been passed down from the era of the Taiyao Empire. They should all be level three civilizations. Aren't the scientists in their tribe all level three scientists!" The more Qin Yue thought about it, the more he felt that it was suitable. He didn't need any territory. After all, digging a planet can build tens of thousands of starships.
What he wants is always scientists!
Qin Yue screened and determined a local chamber of commerce.
Mu Wang Chamber of Commerce!
Mu Wang was the king of Hailanzhou in the Taiyao Empire. When the war started, the Taiyao royal family wanted Mu Wang to return to the country in order to protect him, but Mu Wang simply refused. There was only such a small place in Beijing. How could it be as happy as being a local emperor in Hailanzhou?
The independence of Hailanzhou was also contributed by King Mu, so he was not welcomed by the Taiyao Empire.
Because of his status as a king, he was not liked by the Xingyao Federation. In addition, they were proud of their status as a king and did not want to play with other local chambers of commerce in Hailanzhou. As a result, the local chamber of commerce of King Mu was not loved by the grandmother and uncle. Looking around, there was not even a friend!
This orphan force, who else can I fight if not you!
Qin Yue thought about it and called Hei Entropy.
"Hei Entropy, draft a declaration of war! The content, I'll read it to you!"
