The Witch's Taste

Chapter 306 Tsukinomiya Suzuna’s Hometown

Song Mingyuan is actually very capable.

When I was in Takamagahara, the reason why things were always in bad shape was also due to the shortcomings of the democratically elected system: whether it is the merit of good things or the fault of bad things, it is the elected politicians who get it, so why should civil servants do their best to create political achievements for your elected politicians? Woolen cloth?

Of course, we can do whatever it takes to save effort. It would be best if nothing changes and the system has been in place for tens of thousands of years.

Now on the starship, with the lives of 1000 million people on his shoulders, practicality is the first consideration in everything. As expected, Song Mingyuan also used his ingenuity to provide Chen Ziang with a long-planned strategy:
Fight without breaking.

"Although the Federation is currently hostile to humans as a whole, its source comes from its hostility to the Empire. Therefore, the attitude of the Federation elves towards us actually depends on their current attitude towards the Empire." Song Mingyuan explained, "But the Federation itself is not monolithic. , mainly divided into the aristocratic industrial faction headed by the Klublev family, the Bakht family, etc., and the civilian capital faction such as the Rhine Business Alliance and Mystery of the Soul."

"The aristocratic industrial faction is mostly engaged in manufacturing, mining, and energy industries. The empire's technical level in these fields is far inferior to that of the Federation. Therefore, it has 'economic cooperation interests but political ideological conflict' with the aristocratic faction."

"The civilian capitalist faction mainly occupies the financial industry, information technology, and pharmaceutical industries. Their relationship with the empire is more competitive than cooperative. Therefore, they are exactly the opposite of the aristocrats. There is economic conflict, but there is not much political hostility."

"You mean..." Listening to Song Mingyuan's explanation, Chen Ziang felt that he seemed to have grasped some of the context.

"We must take advantage of the conflict between the aristocratic faction and the civilian faction to create an environment suitable for our survival in the cracks." Song Mingyuan replied, "For the aristocratic faction, we must carry out commercial cooperation as much as possible and use economic benefits to relieve the elves. The discrimination and hostility of nobles towards human beings.”

"For the civilian faction, we should make more use of their hostility towards the aristocratic faction and try to make them fight with the aristocratic faction to reduce the possibility of conflict with them."

Chen Ziang pondered for a moment and said:

"So according to you, who is our biggest enemy?"

"Of course it's the one with the advantage." Song Mingyuan said with a smile.

"In the Aegelaos star region, the Bakht family has the upper hand." Chen Ziang said thoughtfully, "According to your statement..."

"Carry out trade with the Bakht family." Song Mingyuan replied, "For example, purchasing their energy reserves and signing a long-term, installment agreement. In this way, if they plan to attack us, they will face the sunk cost of not being able to recover the payment."

"So why didn't Gao Tianyuan do this in the first place?" Chen Ziang asked casually.

"The problem with Gao Tianyuan is that the economic interests under the earth's crust are too huge, and the government's control over the people is too weak." Song Mingyuan replied, "In fact, if Shi Di can be tougher, such as directly declaring all opposition parties If they are held as political prisoners and suppressed, and if they choose to actively get closer to the empire in diplomacy, the Bakht Group will have no choice but to hold their noses and continue to cooperate, and will definitely not have other ideas."

"Similarly, for us, the exiled government on the starship, Bakht will definitely adopt the same test method. On the one hand, we must show the interests of economic cooperation, and on the other hand, we must also show a tough enough attitude to let Bakht realized that the costs of intervention far outweighed the benefits, and this was the so-called 'fight without breaking up' - that is, limited, non-defeating confrontation."

"That's it." Chen Ziang nodded and said, "I will consider it."

After sending Song Mingyuan away, someone else soon came to visit.

"Chen Zi'ang." Xia Zili said in embarrassment, "There is a non-governmental profit organization called 'Aurora Charity Company'. They invited me as Kiritani Maki to hold a charity concert on the surface of the planet. They also said that all the income after tax will be donated to Refugee from Takamagahara.”

"Charity concert?" Chen Ziang pondered, "Were you the only one invited?"

"There are three other federal singers." Xia Zili replied, "Meryl Daisy, Mariana Dorsello, and Carola Pixie."

I have never heard of it... Chen Ziang searched it on his mobile phone and confirmed that it was undoubtedly a popular elf singer from the Federation.

If there is any conspiracy against Xia Zili, of course there is no need to invite these elf singers, because they all have their own fan base and traffic, which will attract the attention of many people, and then it will be difficult to operate in secret. . "Then what do you think?" Chen Ziang asked in confirmation.

"I have discussed it with Sister Ji Xiang." Xia Zili replied, "Although I can't compare with the local stars in the Federation, I still have a fan base in the Federation."

"If your acting career is suspended for a long time, your popularity will gradually decrease... What do you think?"

"Okay." Chen Ziang suddenly had an idea, "I'll go with you."

"Are you going too?" Xia Zili said in surprise.

"In the end, the intelligence collected on the ship is only what others see and hear." Chen Ziang made up his mind and said, "I still have to see with my own eyes what is going on in Agilaos. "

--------

Yuki Izumo recruited 5000 people on the ship to stay with a host family on the planet Aegelaos, and the places were quickly filled.

It is true that the vast majority of the human population is still hostile to the Federation elves, but there are also people who are not interested in international politics and just want to live their own lives - the conditions on the starship are still a bit worse after all.

It is said that on the night of the recruitment, some people spontaneously organized themselves, claiming that they wanted to "retaliate against those who took refuge in the elves". Fortunately, they were discovered by the security guards in the residential area in time, otherwise the first mass murder on the ship would have happened. Erupted.

Regarding the Aegelaos sector, the Starfleet government's explanation is to "let the first batch of refugees stay for a period of time, and then consider integrating more refugees into Aegelaos based on the integration of the people on both sides."

There is certainly nothing wrong with this statement. Although some left-wing media think it is due to "human paranoia" and "distrust of the goodwill of the federation", overall it has not caused much public opinion turmoil.

Because most of the news media are attracted by the upcoming charity concert.

Four elf singers were invited to participate in this performance. Among them, Kiritani Maki and Carola Pixie are both half-elves and are less famous.

Meryl Daisy is a folk singer-songwriter who is even higher in terms of fan popularity;
As for Mariana Dorsello, she comes from the famous "Dorsello Family" (the family is rich in various supermodels and socialites, and often marries various celebrities), so she is a super big name in this charity concert. Nearly half of the media coverage was directed at her.

As soon as Chen Ziang and others got off the airport, they saw a huge promotional poster on the wall of the terminal. Mariana, with a hot figure, occupied the C seat in the center, and the other three people became her decoration.

"Tsk, tsk." Tsukimiya Suzuna asked with a low smile, "Zi Li used to be in the C position of publicity in Takamagahara, but now she is suppressed by the fame of other stars. Don't you feel a little lost?"

"Suzuna!" Chen Ziang quickly told her to shut up, "Stop it and stop talking."

"It's nothing." Xia Zili was quite generous, "This is a charity concert, and all the proceeds go to the human refugees. It would be great if a singer bigger than me can participate."

"That's right." Tsukimiya Suzuna turned her head casually and looked at the modern city outside the glass curtain wall.

...I feel nostalgic for some reason.

Although I went to Gaotianyuan to find my seniors early in this life, in my previous life... I grew up here.
