From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 615 Quick Transaction
In Amber's opinion, the change in attitude of the 'Regent Party' was very sudden and without any invitation.

Even the day before, Perseus said that he wanted to discuss whether they could have in-depth cooperation in the future, but the next day he acted as if he was "not familiar with Atlas".

Apart from maintaining the most basic contact to ensure the smooth operation of the quantum entanglement communication network, the two parties have no other contact.

Afterwards, Lilith also warned Amber many times that several quantum entanglement communication relay stations deployed by Atlas in the Star Dragon Empire had been physically invaded.

After forcing their way to the relay station, the other party tried to directly break through the relay station's defenses locally and attempted to dismantle the core components of the relay device.

Although the facilities of the relay station were not hacked in the end thanks to the adaptive protection system deployed in advance by Lilith, this attack still made Amber realize that the Regent's covetousness for quantum entanglement communication technology remained unchanged.

After this incident, Amber, on behalf of the Atlas Group, condemned Perseus for the acts of equipment destruction and theft of trade secrets. The latter said that they were not aware of it and promised to strengthen relevant management.

Atlas Group's response to this "dead pig is not afraid of boiling water" approach was also simple and crude.

Amber directly ordered that the quantum entanglement communication network in the area controlled by the Regent Party be cut off in the name of equipment self-inspection, and it would not be reactivated until 24 hours later. Anyway, there was a clause in the contract that stated that when the equipment malfunctioned, the Atlas Group could directly cut off the faulty part of the network.

As for whether there is a fault or not, it is naturally up to Atlas Communications to decide. Even if you ask engineers from the Empire to come and repair it, they will not be able to figure out the problem.

This type of conversation was obviously something that Perseus and his companions could understand. After the network was restored, all destructive hacking activities stopped, and the observation unit of the relay station also confirmed that all nearby unidentified ships had withdrawn.

Even Perseus, who had stopped actively contacting Amber, took the initiative to apologize for the first time. But when Amber asked about some deeper reasons, he began to hesitate again.
Afterwards, although the Regent Party was still using Atlas' communication services, they were obviously no longer using them as thoroughly as before. When some key departments had to use quantum entanglement communication services, they also carried out multi-layer encryption encapsulation, even if it reduced communication efficiency, they had to ensure the confidentiality of communication.

Obviously, the other party also realized that Atlas could monitor them through the communication network, so when the relationship with the Atlas Group became abnormal, they immediately took emergency measures.

This has also directly led to the intelligence department of Atlas, which has recently been greatly affected in its intelligence gathering on the Regent Party. The most obvious thing is that Amber and others can no longer locate the whereabouts of the main members of the Regent Party.

Including troop movements can only be quickly discovered after they reach a large scale. If the opponent conducts a "breakup into small pieces" type of mobilization, it will basically only be discovered after the opponent's troops arrive at the designated point and complete assembly.

The sudden dispersal of the "fog" made Amber increasingly wary of the Regent Party. When the two sides had been cooperating, this sudden incident made him doubt that Norton II, while trying to accomplish his "great cause", did not want Atlas to interfere at all.

From the perspective of "foreseeing the enemy's weakness", Amber suspected that Norton II might have realized the infiltration capability of the Atlas Group and knew that if he cooperated deeply with Atlas, even if he succeeded in the uprising, he would be controlled by Amber.
As for the Imperial Princess Agnes on the other side, Amber believed that she could also realize this, but she didn't know whether she was more confident that she could control Amber, or whether she really needed the help of the Atlas Group, so she sent out the signal of "deep cooperation".

This is why Amber gave priority to Agnes when planning to infiltrate the Star Dragon Empire - after all, at present, it seems that only the princess can handle it herself.
As for Norton II, Amber was also self-aware. At least in terms of political intrigue, she and the think tanks of Atlas would probably not be able to beat him. After the Renaissance Alliance won the Shasta Galaxy Fleet Battle with the help of the Atlas Group, the subsequent battles became much simpler. After the ground troops went down to the orbital space, the defenders they encountered basically could not put up any effective resistance.

Franklin and his men didn't spend much effort to control the main colonized planets, satellite cities, and deep space facilities.
Of course, the price paid was that a large number of factories and other physical facilities were also quickly acquired and occupied by the Atlas Group.

The forces in the surrounding galaxies that had been watching the situation, after seeing the "overwhelming" fighting power of the Renaissance Alliance, also sent signals of "cooperation" to Franklin.

It was also during this period that the forces in various places gradually went from being loose and fighting each other to being integrated into larger forces, forming an encirclement of the core galaxy circle of the Federation.

The Atlas Group also took the opportunity to frantically swallow up a large number of facilities and factories. The prototype of the "all-industry Leviathan" also appeared during this period. At the same time, with the assistance of Lilith, it started the first industrial upgrade. The main purpose was to unify and standardize the huge number of industries under its umbrella, laying a solid foundation for large-scale "explosion" in the future.

While the business elites were "running tasks" across the federation, Amber also learned from their feedback that the "Federation Chicken Eating Contest" had entered a white-hot stage.

Because in a large number of recent transactions, those "local forces" were very dissatisfied with the fact that after "earning" money from the Atlas Group, they had to buy military supplies from the Atlas Group.

Of course, the main reason for this "dissatisfaction" is that these forces think the process is too complicated, and it is a waste of time to transfer funds back and forth, so they choose to "barter" directly from the Atlas Group.
The approximate process is:

Step 1: Atlas Group first estimates the value of the industry to be acquired and makes preliminary confirmation with the transaction parties.

Step 2: The trading party receives a list of arms for sale from Atlas Military Industries, and then makes a selection based on the "valuation" obtained by the trading industry.

Step 3: The two parties reach an agreement, Atlas sends people to enter the industry and complete all authority control. At the same time, the cargo fleet will deliver the arms purchased by the other party while transporting the staff.

By the way, in previous acquisitions, the fleets deployed by Atlas business representatives brought enough deterrence, and with the increasingly frequent appearances of the 'Infinity' and the 'Dawn', no one dared to have any bad intentions when doing business with the Atlas Group.

This also made Atlas' recent acquisition activities very smooth, and many of the backlogs of arms stocks were quickly cleared, and the large amount of "empty funds" accumulated in the early stage also turned into warships launched one after another.
Just when everything seemed to be "under control", some unexpected situations still occurred.

A piece of intelligence collected from the Federation's capital galaxy forced Amber to once again turn her attention to this chaotic country.

"The iron triangle of the president, the defense minister, and the admiral of the navy will be impeached and arrested"
