Guide to Galactic Dominance

Star Ma'ao has become more and more prosperous in a very short period of time. This planet may already be the planet with the most racial diversity in the galaxy. Since Bai Zhongqi announced that the Pan-Galactic Iridium United Empire would establish an office in Ma'ao, all civilizations that joined the United Empire have established offices in Ma'ao. Smaller civilizations may only send a team of dozens to hundreds of people and assign them to an office building. And a huge civilization may directly have more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of service personnel coming to Ma'ao Star.

Because Bai Zhongqi did not ask the Iridium people to hand over all the affairs of the pan-galactic Iridium United Empire to the Iridium people, a lot of the affairs of the United Empire are handled by widely absorbing talented people from other civilizations, so many joining civilizations want to improve themselves in The presence of the United Empire is also to seek the interests of its own civilization, so it actively participates in the government affairs of the United Empire.

After the number of participating civilizations in the Iridium United Empire exceeded 800, Bai Zhongqi announced that Ma'ao would be renamed the First Galaxy Star and officially established as the political capital star of the United Empire. Iridium exists as the capital of the Orion Arm.

Iridium officials who pursue efficiency and are full of experience have formulated various rules and systems for the Pan-Galactic Iridium United Empire, and now they are recruiting officials from other civilizations to jointly handle it. The prime minister of Iridium, Guo Lingshe, had to move from Iridium to the First Galaxy to assist the head of state in forming a pan-galactic United Empire government on the First Galaxy. The original Iridium cabinet remained the central authority of the Orion Arm.

The elegant and knowledgeable Prime Minister Guo Lingshe suddenly switched from handling the government affairs of Iridium to handling the United Empire Government, which manages more than 800 civilized affairs. It is also very difficult. Although each franchised civilization still has relatively large autonomy to handle its own administrative affairs, the United Empire government still has several major branches.

"...Now the top priority in the preparations for the United Empire Government is the Unified Imperial Army. The command power of the Unified Imperial Army lies with the Privy Council, and the management power lies with the Ministry of Common Defense of the United Empire Government. Now that the officials of the Ministry of Common Defense have been almost filled, the next step is to The key task is to urge each civilization to dispatch outstanding officers and soldiers, organize their training, and coordinate budget and resource allocation issues with the United Empire government." Guo Lingshe rarely introduced work to Bai Zhongqi face-to-face. Instead, the knights Handovers are more common.

Bai Zhongqi nodded. He took the lead and led the formation of the Unified Imperial Army. Basically, he had a clear grasp of the general direction. All civilizations did not dare to be ambiguous in supporting the establishment of the Unified Imperial Army. After all, if they act slowly on this matter and the United Empire does not send out the Star Whale Beast fleet, then their safety will be very problematic.

"To support the construction of the United Imperial Army, we need money and resources, which involves the United Empire Bank, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Resources and Supply, the Ministry of Construction and Engineering, and the Ministry of Industry that have just been formed by the United Empire government. We have decided that all the United Empire's Trade exchanges between civilizations will be settled completely using energy currency, which stipulates that each kilowatt-hour of energy is equal to 1 yuan. The United Empire Bank will essentially become the headquarters of the empire's energy preparation and reserve. In any joining civilization, it will serve as the United Dollar of electronic currency. It can be exchanged for 1 kilowatt-hour of energy at will. However, this is of little significance. Its value is mainly as a trading medium and price measure."

Iridium originally took the form of an artificially prescribed credit currency. The currency itself has no value. It is itself a medium for the Iridium government to transfer various products necessary for daily life to citizens. Now the Pan-Galactic Iridium United Empire has "regressed" to using energy as a general equivalent and establishing a unified currency system through which civilizations can trade and communicate, also to better promote the flow of resources.

In fact, there are still relatively big problems with this system. For example, civilizations with higher levels of civilization such as Iridium or Polkay can produce unlimited energy, which is equivalent to printing money infinitely. And if other resource development and product manufacturing cannot keep up, the currency will depreciate. A civilization with strong energy technology has an advantage over a civilization with poor energy technology. The advantage of civilization level will soon turn into a scissor difference, which is detrimental to many civilizations.

Therefore, in fact, in order to balance this fragile economic system, the imperial embassies of the United Empire stationed in various civilizations will constantly issue purchase lists to these civilizations based on their actual productivity and resource conditions. These civilizations develop resources or conduct Production, in exchange for the amount of orders from the imperial embassy. With this money, they can purchase other products from other civilizations.

This is somewhat similar to the Keynesian government's route of expanding procurement, except that Iridium satellites do not have scarcity issues in energy, so they can continue to use this method to promote production. As for advanced civilizations, they can produce a large amount of energy without relying on purchases from imperial embassies. However, these energies cannot be directly converted into United Dollar currency, which means that joined civilizations do not have the right to mint coins.

Advanced civilizations can either sell goods to the imperial embassy in exchange for currency, or choose to turn in energy and pay seigniorage to obtain these currencies.

Relying on the imperial embassy system, the United Empire was able to concentrate different commodities from different civilizations on the same platform and determine trade with a relatively balanced supply and demand relationship.

Naturally, for civilizations like Iridium or Polkay, there is basically no problem of supply and demand. Instead, there is always supply when there is demand. If the manufacturing supply of these two civilizations is opened up, all the needs of the entire United Empire can be met, but in that case It has caused destructive production to local civilization. Therefore, for advanced civilizations with highly developed productivity, they are only allowed to supply excess products through their own needs in a compensatory manner, and dumping actions are not allowed.

For example, if an advanced civilization needs 100 tons of gold, they can sell goods worth 100 tons of gold in exchange for the gold they need. But when they have no demand for gold or other resources or commodities, advanced civilizations are not allowed to participate in the free market transactions of the United Empire. Of course, the Ministry of Trade will set some trade quotas for advanced civilizations, allowing them to sell slightly more than they buy, but the scale will not be too large.

These civilizations are basically self-sufficient. In fact, the goods they purchase may not be material goods but intangible goods, such as cultural products and services. In this case, excess trade is allowed.

By building such a trade system, the relationship between the civilizations of the United Empire will be closer, and the understanding of each other will be deepened to a certain extent.
