Chapter 214 Brain Supplement
"This civilization is very ambitious!" The war between the Elder Council and the King of Mu, or the one-sided fight, is being watched by countless forces at this time.
They looked at the Elder Council's neat and uniform fleet, complete strategic formation, terrifying weapons and equipment, and the ammunition that seemed to be free. They felt that such a fleet should not appear in Hailanzhou.
Even if it is the Taiyao Empire and the Xingyao Federation, a fleet of this quality is enough to serve as the main force. It is a complete dimensionality reduction attack to use it to fight a small force like the King of Mu!
So, is the Elder Council really just formed by four ruined third-level civilizations? What forces are supporting them behind them?
It is definitely not the Taiyao Empire and the Xingyao Federation, because their supporters are everyone present.
But apart from these two forces, there is no force in the Yougen Star Region that can form a fleet of this size.
Unless it is a force in the Zuogen Star Region?
There is only one force in the Zuogen Star Region, the Taihua Shangming Empire. Of course, this is a faithful and elegant translation. If it is literally translated, the name of this empire is the brightest star.
The Taihua Shangming Empire is always thinking about annexing Yougen and unifying the Baigen Star Region.
In fact, the Baigen Star Region was originally unified. The force was called the Baigen Empire, but later the Baigen Empire collapsed and split into two countries, one called Taihua Shangming and the other called Taiyao Shanghui. Later, Taiyao Shanghui continued to split and became the Taiyao Empire and the Xingyao Federation.
If the Taihua Shangming Empire wants to unify the world, it must kill the Taiyao Empire and the Xingyao Federation. These two forces are usually fighting, but as long as the Taihua Shangming Empire invades, they will immediately unite to resist foreign enemies. However, because of the quarrels between these two countries, the speed of technological iteration is very fast. Individually, they are not the opponent of Taihua Shangming, but together they can compete.
If the Elder Council is not supported by the Taiyao Empire and the Xingyao Federation, then it is supported by the Taihua Shangming Empire. They also have reasons and motives to support the Elder Council. After all, Hailanzhou is located between the two major forces. If they can unify Hailanzhou, then block the news, open the star gate, and summon tens of millions of fleets overnight, it is not impossible.
When the Taiyao Empire and the Xingyao Federation are fighting, millions of troops suddenly rush out, maybe they can destroy their main force in one fell swoop, and finally advance east and west, and finally swallow the world!
Of course, this is just the imagination of the people present. The two major forces are not stupid. How could they watch the Elders' Council unify Hailanzhou? But what if?
What if it happens!
"This is no longer something we can decide!" The president's head floated on the water, and suddenly a string of bubbles floated out from his buttocks. The bubbles circled in the water and exploded in front of the president's mouth.
The president seemed to have no feeling and continued: "Even if we unite and take out our best warships, it will take a lot of effort to wipe out the current Elders' Council. If they have the support of the Taihua Shangming Empire behind them, it will be even more difficult. Maybe they have a larger fleet behind them that we don't know."
"So what?" Ping Mu asked.
"Contact the forces behind us and suggest sending troops to conquer Hailanzhou." The president said.
"This" everyone was silent.
Of course, they don't want Hailanzhou to be conquered. They are now lawless in Hailanzhou, completely in control of the people, and can do whatever they want without any legal constraints.
But if it is conquered by Taiyao Empire or Xingyao Federation, do you still want to rob? Dream on!
The forces behind them certainly don't want it either. How much profit can be made from smuggling? If Hailanzhou is conquered, then they can only do legitimate business in the future, but legitimate business is hard, competitive, and profitable.
Isn't that begging on your knees?
But the problem now is that Taihua Shangming Empire is coming in. If Taihua Shangming Empire comes in, then their good days
Hmm.
Hmm?
Ping Mu suddenly raised his head: "If the Taihua Shangming Empire comes in and unifies Hailanzhou, what does this have to do with us?"
"What are you talking about, Chief Ping Mu?"
"The laws of the Taihua Shangming Empire are very strict. All of us will be beheaded!"
"But it is the Council of Elders that unified Hailanzhou. What does it have to do with the Taihua Shangming Empire?"
"Didn't you hear us? The Taihua Shangming Empire is behind the Council of Elders!"
Ping Mu shook his head, and the umbrella on his head swayed. In fact, this is not his head. Theoretically, this is his genitals, and the head is under the umbrella.
"Don't you understand? The purpose of the Taihua Shangming Empire is to annex the Taiyao Empire and the Xingyao Federation. If this is the purpose, will they manage Hailanzhou well and ban smuggling and star pirates? No, because smuggling harms the interests of the two major countries, and the Taihua Shangming Empire would like to have more people like us, so how could it ban us!" Ping Mu said.
What does smuggling mean? It is the trade of goods without tax. As long as the tax is paid, it is a formal trade.
Less tax means that merchants are fattened and the interests of the country are damaged, especially those legitimate merchants. They work hard to make a little money, but when they turn around, they see that their peers do nothing but rob, with low costs and high profits. How can they survive?
Especially this kind of peers can easily squeeze out the legitimate merchants who earn hard-earned money. At that time, these smugglers will have fewer competitors and their profits will be greater.
Smugglers are bad for Taiyao Empire and Xingyao Federation, but for Taihua Shangming Empire, it is a good thing. After all, you are not damaging my interests.
Just like printing counterfeit banknotes is a bad thing and harms the interests of the country that issues the banknotes. However, during World War II, Germany printed a large number of pounds. This is called benefiting oneself at the expense of others.
When Ping Soo said this, others were also stunned. Yes, it seems that the Taihua Shangming Empire occupying the entire Hailan State is not a bad thing for their existence.
"But the Presbyterian Council prohibits the existence of star pirates! It has also enacted laws and is recruiting scientists. It looks like it is developing in a serious way, and it does not seem like it will support smuggling!" someone asked.
"They started fighting against star thieves. Of course they must ban the existence of star thieves. As for the laws and recruitment of scientists, even if they are supported by the Taihua Ming Empire, they must have their own identity! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big deal? The loudspeakers are spreading everywhere, saying that we are a force supported by the Taihua Shangming Empire?" Ping Soo said, why did he feel that he was surrounded by a bunch of fools? Isn't this an obvious thing?
"The more formalized they are, the more it shows that there are experts behind them, because forces that simply arise from Hailan State will never have such a long-term vision. Don't forget Atog!" Ping Mo said.
The other businessmen thought of this and nodded, indeed.
At its peak, Atog occupied one-third of Hailan State.
If he can understand the situation clearly and join any noble party, he can survive. If it develops slowly for hundreds of years, he may not be able to become independent and become a third force.
But he chose to join the highest level of the country, and was assassinated on the way. This is obviously because he did not have a long-term vision and could not clearly understand the situation.
"Then what are we going to do? Surrender?" someone asked.
Ping Mo shook his head: "What do you mean by surrendering? We are the majority in Hailan State, how can we surrender to a small Presbyterian Church! Besides, we are star thieves, and they fight star thieves, so how can they accept you?"
The merchants nodded hastily, almost forgetting that the Presbyterian Council did not display the banner of being too splendid and enlightened, and it would not be appropriate for their merchant power to surrender to the Presbyterian Council.
"We can sign a non-aggression treaty and cooperate with them. They are smart people and will understand what we mean!" Pingxiao said: "Don't they want scientists? We have robbed a lot of them over the years. We can send them all over. , express our sincerity!”
"This" businessmen are a little hesitant. Scientists are the foundation for the development of a civilization. They are star thieves, but it is not like being a star thieves for a lifetime. With scientists, you can still pursue your dreams, but without them, your life will be nothing. Hope.
"Now we are star thieves, who knows if we will become nobles in a hundred years!"
The businessmen suddenly realized!
Yes, there are only so many scientists. Even if you have a dream, how far can you develop it?
This is between the two major forces. How can the couch allow others to sleep soundly!
But if you vote for the Taihua Shangming Empire, the noble position will be very fragrant!
It may only be the lowest title, but it is hereditary!
"Of course, all this is our guess. We will have to test it out when we negotiate." Ping Mo said, suddenly looking at the president.
"President, what do you mean?"
Another group of bubbles exploded in front of the president's mouth. The president was silent for a long time and suddenly opened his eyes: "What? You've finished talking. So, just do what you said!"
Ping Yao curled his lips, he was really good at deflecting blame. He pretended to be asleep and didn't know. The credit is yours. If something goes wrong, will I take the blame?
But he has no choice. If small forces want to rise to power, they can only fight hard.
Well, let’s send someone to contact the Presbyterian Church first.
