From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 234 You have a new order
The events of 'Bloody Tuesday', as Amber remembered them, had, on the surface, had almost no impact on the Empire.

At least before Randall and the others set off to return, the information collected through public channels was still "singing and dancing".

The larger media companies in the Star Dragon Empire are all controlled by nobles.

Although the media company favored the Regent faction, when reporting on the incident on Vendée No. 6, they still secretly satirized the princess's cruelty in handling the incident.

However, since there is no "real" evidence, these reports are regarded as "routine criticism" of the Princess Party by the media company of the Regent faction.

But Amber knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

After the "Bloody Tuesday" incident, in the timeline of the game's plot, the Star Dragon Empire has actually entered a countdown to division.

If nothing unexpected happens, the old emperor will enter a critical state in three months.

The federal intelligence personnel finally proved their presence and obtained this key information.

After receiving this important intelligence, the Federation, which had been under attack, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched the largest counterattack since the war began. The operation codename was Supernova Outbreak.

At the same time, the two main combat forces of the Princess Party were dragged to the front line.

Riots against the dictatorship and demanding independence broke out in many galaxies within the empire almost at the same time.

From his point of view, he certainly did not want the Star Dragon Empire to fall into civil war and then split so quickly.

He was not worried about the impact of a civil war in the empire on him and Atlas.

In the end, they controlled the two galaxy clusters on the border of the empire and pushed the battle line into the territory of the empire.

Taking advantage of this wave, the regent gathered his strength and began to force the palace with force.

Just when he was thinking about whether there was any breakthrough point, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

When the regent's fleet surrounded the capital galaxy, Prince Sauron, as the backbone of the 'royal party', forced his way into the capital galaxy with his celestial fortress and noble fleet, and the two sides fought fiercely.

At this critical moment, the 'Old Saint-Saunière Zhengxing Longqi' who had been loyal to the royal family from beginning to end stood up.

"It would be great if there was any way to extend the window period."

On the Federation side, Admiral Trafalgar, who commanded this huge fleet, decided to pursue the victory.

These two dukes chose to retreat to protect their own vitality.

What Amber is really worried about is that Atlas is not strong enough to make a big profit in this civil war.

The 15 main fleets of the federal navy, together with 6 unmanned fleets, attacked across the board.

The best case scenario is to wait for him to develop for a while, and once he has enough capital to profit from the civil war, it will not be too late for the empire to fall into chaos again.

He led an army to blockade the capital galaxy and the galaxy where the imperial princess was on a 'visit', demanding that the Leon family take the initiative to end their rule over the empire.

With this series of plots flashing through her mind, Amber lay melancholy on the swivel chair in the office and slowly spun.

Another group of 'die-hard nobles' who were loyal to Princess Agnes also took the opportunity to rescue the imperial princess from the besieged galaxy.
"Oh, there are only three months left. If you give me a game with unlimited resources in such a short time, I can think of a way to build a fleet."

The two Dukes, Artesia and Hastings, who were passive due to the news from the rear and did not know whether to continue the attack or retreat to the border to protect the princess, were also caught off guard after encountering a fierce counterattack by the Federation.

However, the two dukes from the Princess Party camp, with their supplementary fleets and a large number of family fleets of border nobles, stabilized the front line and stopped the federal fleet's attack.

In order to ensure that we have enough 'weights' on hand in the foreseeable civil strife in the future.

"Come in."

The door of the office was pushed open, and Isabel, dressed in professional attire, walked in with another female Roma who was also dressed in professional attire.

Atlas has expanded into the Atlas Group following the completion of the acquisitions of Mary Bay and Yaoguang Defense.

As the actual controller of the group, Amber's workload naturally began to skyrocket.

In order to share his pressure, he could only let Isabel serve as his assistant while being the 'secret agent chief'.

The other 'cat lady' dressed as an OL in front of me is the newly appointed sales director of Atlas Private Military Company.

Seeing her, Amber couldn't help but think of this cat lady who looked harmless to humans and animals, and her somewhat outrageous resume.

This female Roma named Osana is unique among the entire Roma group.

Her tribe was wiped out in a factory explosion in the Thousand Stars Empire.

She was orphaned at a young age and was adopted by a Federation couple who were traveling on the border of the Thousand Planets Empire at that time.

The couple were both federal officers before retiring. Osana, who grew up in such a military family, did not join the federal army due to identity issues, but she joined a private military company when she grew up.

And successfully got the position of project manager.

As a position that requires leading and planning an operation, Osana is not only familiar with the basic operations of private military companies.

At the same time, it also has the ability to fight on the front line.

Professional skills such as orbital airborne landing, gang jumping, basic infantry tactics, infiltration operations behind enemy lines, military vehicle driving, etc. are all filled up in her 'Personal Skills' column.

When Atlas's 'Roma Marines' attracted attention in the Empire of Thousand Planets, especially the attention of the majority of Roma people.

Osana resolutely resigned from her original company and immediately submitted her resume to Atlas after returning to the Thousand Stars Empire.

This cat lady's wonderful resume and personal abilities naturally attracted the attention of the HR department.

After an initial audition and an in-person interview with Amber, Osana became the sales director of Atlas Private Military Company.

Amber is naturally very satisfied with this. Judging from the individual combat effectiveness alone, none of the Roma in the Marine Corps could even be her opponent.

Atlas' current basic combat force is Roma. It is naturally very suitable for Roma to be the sales manager, and it will also facilitate the maintenance of corporate image.

Not to mention Osana's skills, she was simply prepared for this moment.

Looking at the cat lady who was wearing professional attire but still subconsciously saluted herself as a military salute, Amber asked with a smile:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

At Isabel's signal, Osana stepped forward and reported:

"Boss, last week we received a reply from the other party in response to the 'Defense Contracting Project' issued by the Rubian System Autonomous Government in the Federation. They formally invited us to become a partner in the 'Freedom Recovery' project."

What Osana was talking about was a previous 'tender' made by Atlas Private Military Company in the Federation.

Almost at the same time as 'Bloody Tuesday' occurred, the federal navy launched a large-scale counterattack.

The slick Admiral Trafalgar seized the opportunity for the Empire to deploy troops to the newly occupied colonial planets and launched an attack.

The current federal navy, under his command, has truly made use of its strengths and avoided its weaknesses.

Taking advantage of the federal fleet's advantages in numbers and replenishment speed within the country, the federal navy always had a significant numerical advantage in battles between the two sides during this period.

The Imperial fleet, which had not yet completely gained a foothold, was completely disrupted by this sudden attack.

The Fortress of Sorrow, together with other fleets, is about to fall into an emergency situation surrounded by a large number of federal navy.

Duke Duke could only give up the ground troops who were unable to evacuate the planet, and commanded the fleet to make an emergency breakout and leave the system.

According to the intelligence received by Amber, Duke Duke and Duke William, who had already fought for a long time, withdrew with their fleet.

The two Dukes, Artesia and Hastings, who had been prepared for a long time, led their troops to arrive in time and took over their battle.

Judging from the subsequent developments mentioned above, it is obvious that the regent's side took the initiative to take the blame for the unfavorable battle, and the operation of replacing the two dukes from the Princess Party camp was completely premeditated.

This rotation directly caused the two dukes to be dragged on the front line for a long time, unable to escape.

On the other side, the Federation Navy fleet that had regained the galaxy also continued to advance and came to the front line to confront the Imperial fleet.

Because the main ground forces of the Federation are currently deployed near the capital system, as well as the 'advantage systems' of the ruling party 'Federal Democratic Party'.

Therefore, the "superior galaxy" of the typical opposition party "Federal Republican Party" like Rubion can only rely on its own abilities.

The garrison of the Lubion system was not originally very effective. Before the war broke out, the autonomous government of this system focused more on economic development than military construction.

Therefore, in the previous battles of the Empire's invasion, both the fleet and the ground troops suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Imperial Army.

Especially the ground troops. Under the attack of the empire's orbital attack and ground troops, most of the established troops were annihilated.

Regarding the current situation, there are still remnants of the empire on the planet.

The galactic autonomous government did not want the troops under its control to continue to be consumed, so it chose to open tenders and let defense contractors and private military companies enter the planet to mince meat.

It was against this background that Atlas Private Military Company made a tentative bid.

As a result, who would have thought that now I actually won the bid.

"This is a good thing~"

Amber said in a relaxed tone.

During this period, Atlas Mining and Atlas Industries were flourishing in mining and equipment manufacturing.

Atlas Private Military Company still has not received any orders for "didi beating".

As a result, it became the only one among the three subsidiaries of the group that needed feedback from the group.

"This mission is more than that simple."

Isabel walked up and handed the tablet in her hand to Amber.

"The Rubian System Autonomous Government plans to outsource post-war reconstruction tasks in one fell swoop. The areas 'liberated' by various companies from the remaining imperial soldiers are the areas where they can subsequently undertake reconstruction tasks."

Amber was not surprised by what Isabel said.

In the federal territory, although this kind of thing is rare now, it will become more and more common as time goes by.

Especially after the Federation continued to take back lost territory and pushed back into the Empire.
At this stage, the larger defense companies are basically subsidiaries of a large consortium.

Generally, under these consortiums, there will be other subsidiaries with qualifications for 'urban construction' work.

A slightly inferior defense company, even if it is not so strong, will still have some long-term partners in this area.

When the city actually enters the construction stage, these defense companies will also receive dividends from their partners.

But for Amber and Atlas, if they can legally dispatch troops into the federal territory, they can also take on the task of post-war reconstruction.

The profits and oil and water are secondary, but more importantly, it allows Atlas to lay a nail in the federal territory.

"Isn't this luring the wolf into the house?"

Amber smiled and returned the tablet to Isabel.

"Then let's get started and go all out to make this first business a success. There will be many opportunities like this in the future~"
