Him and their stars.

Chapter 770 What did the friends do?
Probably feeling that Yu Lian's expression was close to mocking himself, Mr. Wood added: "I personally think that Your Excellency the Governor should raise about 10 billion special military expenses for the headquarters within two months. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

This figure is not something you made up on the spot.Yu Lian looked at Mr. Wood suspiciously, and said, "Blue Star Shield?"

"No, Alliance Star." Mr. Wood said: "I can be sure that your Excellency Governor's trip will be successful."

To put it bluntly, this one billion is his life money.

You know, as the governor of the colony, you have the responsibility to protect the land.If they escaped, even if they managed to escape back to the mainland, they would definitely be court-martialed.Even without going back to the mainland, Yang Xiyi could kill him on the spot.

But if they got an order from the Defense Command to go back to the mainland to raise military funds, that would be another matter.

Yu Lian couldn't help being amazed.This is already a huge sum of money that can buy three or four rangers.You know, the friends of the Thirteenth Fleet went to No Man’s Sky to hunt for treasures and dig graves for half a year, but they only got more than two billion—of course, this is the ancient technology that was dug out. Products and gorgeous alchemy items have not yet been identified.

"I didn't even know that Mr. Jiang still has such resources."

To put it bluntly, it should be impossible for him, a governor, to come up with so much cash for the one billion yuan, and it should be to exchange benefits with his "friends".But doesn't this also show that he does have some energy in his home country.

Why did such a person go to the colonies of the New World to become a member of parliament, and what kind of governor?
"It's easy to draw on white paper. This truth is not only understood by you East Asians." Wood said with a smile: "Governor Jiang was originally the son of a wealthy businessman born in New Rome, but because he was the youngest son, he didn't get any support from his family. If you want to stay in the country, you can only start from the grassroots level of the company, and then receive the living expenses provided by the family fund of 2000 blue star coins every month."

Yu Lian thought about excluding the subsidy for psykers. This is the only official salary of my colonel. In fact, it is enough to easily provide a good life for at least a family of five in the city with the highest price in the country.

"Mr. Governor took the initiative to go to Xinyumen. He opened a farm and a mining company, and then sought the status of a member of parliament. Originally, he just wanted to do business well, but he didn't expect that by chance, he would get to where he is today." Said At this point, Mr. Wood shrugged his shoulders: "Most of the big shots we stand on the stage actually have such a past. It's just that when they are on the stage, they always have some unrealistic ideas. In comparison, Mr. Governor He is already a very good leader. At least he is more pragmatic. In the past two years in Xinyumen, he has indeed carried out fruitful cooperation with local enterprises. Now, the population of Xinyumen has exceeded [-] million Well. Tulong Port has also expanded a lot, with a population of over one million."

Well, if it is in normal times, this can certainly be regarded as a political achievement, but if it is put here, Yu Lian only feels a headache.

Of course, Governor Jiang can change from Governor of Xinyumen to Governor of Star Region in two years, and it is not justified without any political achievements.As a result, he got in touch with the rich local tycoons, which is indeed justified.

"I understand how hard you and the governor are. Don't worry, I will issue this report... However, without the leadership of you and the governor, Xinyumen will be chaotic! Our military has changed the peace again. Who is going to hand over these things?"

Mr. Wood opened his mouth slightly, but he quickly switched to a handsome business smile, covering up his sudden rise in blood pressure and resentment: "You really know how to tell jokes. The government affairs of New Yumen, Haven't they all been taken over by your department...your comrades in arms?"

Although Mr. Wood was very good at acting, Yu Lian could easily feel the other party's complaints, and hurriedly said: "Although there are only two of us here, we can sue you for slander if you talk nonsense. I am just a soldier. Arrived in the New World, and now we don't even know what happened there."

"But, aren't you the chairman of the youth club?" Wood laughed.

"Youth clubs...are called clubs. You can imagine what kind of groups they are. There are at least one or two hundred such small groups in the army. But, young people, if they don't have key politics, can they still be called young people? " Yu Lian shrugged.

"Hahahaha, Marshal Victoria Lee said the same thing when he established the Lion Heart Club. Isn't your current Young Officers Club 2.0 developed on the basis of the Lion Heart Club?"

Yu Lian didn't speak any more.

"Colonel, there are only two of us here. Then I have to say more, our civil service system was established in the empire era, and our job is actually to keep the train of the country running on the established track. In this regard, I But it is much more sensitive than high-ranking politicians. I really don’t know what your comrades are doing, but I know that this train is about to float. However, even you may only be in the New World, Or in a remote area like Lumina, it can only be operated like this."

So what did they do?Can you please stop being a riddler?
"Mr. Wood, are you going to report it when you go back? Report me for being ambitious and plotting wrongdoing?" Yu Lian laughed.

He believed this Mr. Wood would not.As an excellent bureaucrat, it is traditional art to pretend that nothing happened until it happened.Moreover, if he really wanted to report it, he wouldn't come here specifically to tell him what was wrong.

Do you really think that I, God's Chosen Champion, can't kill people or kill people?
At this time, I saw the old fried dough stick bureaucrat showing a harmless smile: "I will retire in more than ten years. This time I fled from the New World to the mainland with my leader in embarrassment..."

Yu Lian corrected, "I'm going back to help the front line raise money."

Mr. Wood was slightly startled, and gratitude appeared in his eyes for the first time: "Yes, I went back to my hometown to raise funds... But, even if I have your proof, I don't have to go to court, but my future in the civil service system will be cut off. In the future, it is estimated that I will be assigned to another remote star area, and I will die for the rest of my life. If this is the case, I will honestly wait for retirement, so why bother."

"Hey, isn't the duty of your civil servants to stop the train from derailing? Don't you have any fighting spirit and no responsibility?" Yu Lianqi asked.

"So, if a system is too strict, once you join, you will only do things according to your instincts. But how much affection and responsibility do we have for this train, hahahaha, do you believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Yu Lian smiled.

"Yes, I don't believe it either. It's just that this job pays a lot, is decent, and it's very stable and won't be fired. In the final analysis, it's just a job." Mr. Wood sighed, and then revealed A smile: "I have prepared all the government approval documents you need. The seal box is in the second drawer of the bookcase on the left side of my office. I have not locked it. If you need anything else, just write one. .”

Wait, what approval?
"In addition, the shares of New Yumen Spice Trading left after Mr. Dukas' death... the governor will agree to Red Star Investment Company to accept it. But, you'd better pay the amount that should be paid within one year. This way the book I'm good at it."

So, what did the Red Star Institute do?What is the relationship with New Yumen Spice Trading Group?That company claims to be a trading company, but in fact it monopolizes nearly [-]% of the mining and production of new Yumen spices and mines.

The man named Dukas owns the most shares in this company and is also the richest man in Xinyumen.

I remember that guy in his previous life, after Xinyumen fell into the hands of the empire, he turned himself into an imperial nobleman, showing off every day like a pheasant with peacock tail feathers.

What's the matter, this character who fully interpreted the golden belt of murder and arson in the last timeline is so dead?
"...These can be regarded as the deposit paid to you by His Excellency the Governor. Although he doesn't like the operations of your subordinates, he admits that it has brought him a lot of political achievements. If it weren't for the raiders this time, he I really want to continue working with you. Hey, this is God's will!" Mr. Bernard Wood also showed a regretful expression.

Yu Lian could tell that the other party was sincere this time.

So, my subordinates... well, let’s count them as my subordinates, what did those guys do?

At this time, Mr. Wood bowed to Yu Lian and prepared to leave.Looking at the back of the other party who did not lose his manner and demeanor even at this time, Yu Lian couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart, and said in a strange way: "Mr. Bernard, after the fundraising work is completed, are you going to return to Earth to report on your work?"

Mr. Wood stopped and turned.Although he didn't understand why the other party asked such a natural question, he still smiled and nodded.

"Then, how about applying for transfer to work in the New China star area? After all, you are a senior old servant. Even if you made some mistakes, but at this time you take the initiative to apply for transfer to a remote place like New China. The higher-ups should respect you." Your decision."

Mr. Wood really hadn't thought about it.However, after a brief moment of daze, his head turned quickly.

Yu Lian laughed again: "Then, you can also partner with a celebrity who has never been in politics. I heard that civil servants like this kind of leader the most!"

Bernard Wood quickly understood Yu Lian's meaning: "You mean, Qi, uh... Sorry, I lost my composure."

Mr. Qi intends to participate in the election of the governor of the new Shenzhou star region as an independent candidate. With Mr. Wood's connections as a senior civil servant, although he is not in the mainland, he can still hear some news.

Of course, because he is not in the mainland, he has not received the news that Mr. Qi is already forming a party.

The general election for this new Shenzhou star region has not yet started, but the other party seems determined to win.If it was someone else, Mr. Wood might have laughed a few words, but if the other party was Mr. Qi Bingwen and Yu Lian standing behind him, then he would have a different attitude.

He paused for a few seconds, and bowed to Yu Lian again: "Then, please... Please forgive me, Mr. Qi."

Yu Lian looked at Mr. Wood's back as he went up the elevator at the end of the garden, somewhat respectful.After all, he is an old senior in the civil service system, and his level of harmony is very high, but it is indeed quite rare to have such courage.In another timeline, it is no wonder that at the age of ninety-eight, he can still be the caretaker prime minister of the split Republic of Terra.

You can't count on the integrity of this kind of character, but as long as you can watch him, you can still count on his ability.

It just so happens that Mr. Qi's secretarial team is now in the hands of Lao Tan, who can count on his ability and integrity, but overall he is still younger, so he needs old bureaucrats like Mr. Wood.

Yu Lian was very satisfied with his smooth arrangement, so he was ready to return to the banquet hall.However, he still doesn't understand what his friends are doing in Xinyumen.

So, after returning to the banquet venue, Yu Lian first greeted Mr. Governor Dao and had a drink, leaving each other with a tacit smile, and then found Feifei: "So, what did they do?" ? That guy Hachiman is plotting, right?"

"You're wrong, Yuer." Feifei smiled and said, "It's actually Major Wayali who made the decision this time, and he's the one who carried out the actual execution. Captain Qiu Mingshan just checked for omissions and made up for the vacancies. By the way, he will do something he is good at. .”

"Simon?" The boy who was born in a soy sauce shop has been in good spirits ever since he joined the youth club.Every month, I will send myself a long email, which is what he saw, heard, and thought when he was serving in the Thirteenth Fleet, in the mainland, in the New World colony, and in the exterminated pirate lair thought.

Yu Lian thinks that thinking is the characteristic of smart people, and smart people are often prone to redness, as long as they are free, they will always answer each other's questions.

Of course, he can't draw conclusions on some issues, so he will definitely make it clear that this is just his own family's opinion.

... So, when did that child lose his style of painting?

"When Major Wayali arrived at Xinyumen with the fleet, he applied for secondment to the Turon Garrison Command, preparing to train an assault force composed of local people." Feifei said.

"Oh..." mobilizing the locals to defend their homes and the country is also the traditional operation of traditional generals.Of course, the reason why it is traditional is because it is really easy to use.

"Then he thought about it again, and felt that the total population of New Yumen is only about two million, and even if New Lushun is added, it still doesn't know five million. Among them are a large number of refugees who can't get along in the local area, gold diggers who want to make a fortune, and Bounty hunters, even local hooligans and black (meow) people. The quality of the soldiers is really hard to describe."

Indeed, the best sources of soldiers must be self-cultivators and industrial workers, while aggressive black (meow) road elements and people in gray areas must be the worst.

"Therefore, Major Wayali recruited some young and middle-aged men from the sand people and formed two stormtrooper regiments."

Yu Lian hesitated to speak, but still didn't say anything.

"Later, he felt that what the Thirteenth Fleet needed to continue to expand was not ships and stormtroopers, but well-trained sailors. But this did not happen overnight. As it happens, our Red Star Office, The engineers of the Red Maple Factory, as well as the team of Xinzhou Heavy Industry, are preparing to put into operation the light rail factory and ship material processing factory in Xinyumen, which requires a lot of labor. Major Wayali asked the Governor's Office to designate a piece of land in the suburb of Tulong , built a junior college that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of students at one time."

Of course, a volume of more than [-] cannot be prepared for a mere two million earth immigrants, it must be prepared for the sand people.

"The Governor's Mansion actually approved it?"

"Of course it was approved, because this is a great political achievement! The sand people began to study in the colleges on Earth. This is the first step to integrate into the earth's civilization! This is also the first step to the long-term stability of the colonies in the New World!"
