Chapter 609: The future of the Federation?
"By the way, does this count as incitement to crime?" Isabel, who was lying in Amber's arms, suddenly asked.

In fact, the timing of Franklin's call just now was not very appropriate, but Amber finally chose to accept the communication request.

First of all, this "ambitious young man" is also one of Amber's important "investment targets" at present.

Secondly, Amber doesn't have to move on her own at this time.

In addition, there was nothing to hide from Isabel, so the latter basically listened to the whole thing with the mentality of "eating spectators".

"How can this be considered as incitement to crime?" Amber shook her head. "I was just guiding him on the right path~"

"Wow, as if you know which 'right way' is."

Isabel rolled her eyes and rested her head on Amber's chest. She obviously didn't expect Amber to really know what the 'right path' was for Franklin.

But Amber did not explain at this time, but said casually:

"He's already raised the flag of rebellion, so why not do something big? The situation in the federation is in chaos right now, and heroes are made by the times. If he succeeds, then the return on my investment in him will be really high."

"Are you sure you can control him?"

Isabel frowned, and after a moment continued:
"Although the Renaissance Alliance has now controlled the Rubion Galaxy, its actual size is not that large, so it has no chance of winning against us. But if Franklin really seizes the opportunity to rise in this federal chaos as you said, can we still control him?"

At this point, Isabel also remembered that Amber had once jokingly said to her that she wanted to push Franklin to become the next president of the federation, or the president of the "New Federation".

Now that I think about it, it seems like Amber wasn't kidding?

"So Amber, you are kidding me when you want Franklin to become the 'federation's boss'? If he really becomes the president of the federation, are you sure he will still listen to us instead of trying to destroy the Atlas Group?"

Isabel had no disguise in front of Amber, so she asked directly when she thought of something.

"Of course I'm not kidding~"

Amber reached out and rubbed Isabel's head, and the latter stretched her neck and rubbed it comfortably.

Seeing Isabel's kitten-like movements, Amber smiled knowingly and continued:

"If I didn't want him to become the so-called 'federal speaker', why would I pay so much attention to him and secretly help him get the position? Wouldn't it be better for me to find someone who has more experience, prestige, and connections than him?"

Isabel: “That’s the control issue.”

"This is not a problem. Isabel, believe it or not, if the day comes when Franklin really unifies the entire federation, he will find that he is the one who cannot do without us. To the Atlas Group, the 'President' is just a puppet that can be replaced at any time." After a brief conversation with Isabel, Amber also became interested.

Of course, it's a serious 'interest'.

He sat up from the bed, then raised his hand to summon a virtual screen that appeared in mid-air. As his fingers tapped the operation panel made of volumetric light, a large amount of data charts and a situation star map appeared in front of Isabel.

"Isa, do you know why I asked the people in the financial business center to attack everywhere, and I would rather slow down the pace to carry out acquisitions of those important industries at the whole industry chain level?"

"Amber, you want to monopolize the industry." Isabel naturally knew Amber's thoughts.

"That's right. If the upstream, midstream and downstream of a certain industry are all controlled by the Atlas Group, and it is a very important and indispensable industry, then no matter who sits on the position of federal president, they have to carefully consider Atlas. What if there are more than one or two such industries in the hands of the Atlas Group? At that time, between the Atlas Group and the federal government, who is closer to the ordinary people and who controls the people's hearts?"

Having said that, Amber also motioned for Isabel to look at the star map.

"Look, the financial business center is currently acquiring mainly lifeline industries such as food production and processing, as well as a large number of heavy industries. No matter what the final outcome of the Federation is, by then, everything will be in a state of disrepair. When it comes to planetary reconstruction, fleet reorganization, and large-scale immigration projects, they will have to rely on the Atlas Group, not to mention that we still control the main communication network."

As Amber explained, in Isabel's eyes, the color blocks on the star map representing the Atlas Group's industries and forces gradually turned into the shape of a spider or multiple groups of creatures.

The limbs and tentacles that attacked everywhere silently covered the entire territory of the Federation. It could even be said that if Atlas was willing to pay the price, it would be possible to set back the Federation's industrial development by decades.
"Then why doesn't the Atlas Group just replace the federal government? Wouldn't it be more direct for us to manage the federation directly?"

Isabel asked in confusion. Born in a feudal monarchy, she had already imagined the scene of Amber becoming emperor.
"Then the risk would be borne directly by Atlas Corporation, rather than by the federal government as it is now."

Amber shook his head. He had never thought of transforming the Atlas Group into a country.

"Although sitting behind the scenes may seem obscure, the advantage is that if there is a problem, the federal government can be blamed, and then the government can be replaced, and everything is still under our control."

Isabel: "But the federal politicians and Franklin are not fools. They can definitely see this and guess what you are thinking, right?"

"Of course they can guess, but I don't care, and they have no way to stop this from happening now, unless the Federal Military-Industrial Complex is 'resurrected' with a size several times stronger than before, maybe it can cause us some trouble~"

"why?"

Amber: "It's very simple. I assume that the top leaders of the federal government, even all government employees and senior intellectuals, can see this clearly. But how many of them are there among all the people in the federation? More than 90% of the people will not realize that the Atlas Group will control the federation in the future. If they have any problems, they will still subconsciously go to the government for trouble. At that time."

"By then, the 'Federal Government' will be constantly changing, but Atlas will remain forever." Isabel replied.

"That's good, Isa, you have learned to answer questions quickly~" Amber said with relief.
