Him and their stars

Just like that, a meeting that might have led to a fierce struggle, reached a consensus so quickly.

It sounds a bit ridiculous, but when the three major shipping groups and the six major banks have made their decisions, the leaders of the Standard Shipping Association don't want to become the last bastion.

You know, no matter in which field, the most stubborn bastion must also die the most miserably. The capitalists are of course the most greedy, but they must also be the most flexible.

However, the business leaders present really couldn't figure it out. They clearly agreed to be evil capitalists together, and they agreed not to lose face? They agreed to resist the tyranny of the government together? Why did the people from the shipping groups and banks vote?

So, after the meeting, when the projection of Yamida Berenkester disappeared from the meeting room, a certain director still shouted and prepared to leave Astri. He didn't care that there were other colleagues on the board of directors present, and he lowered his posture to the lowest level on the spot.

"Lord Astri, please give me some pointers for the great contributions that old Maide has made to the Enol family!"

The man who could be his grandfather called him with such a respectful title, but the fat boy of the Enol family did not feel uncomfortable. He just looked at him with interest and smiled, "We only own some shares in your company. It is a very legitimate business cooperation relationship. There is no personal dependence. Your humbleness is unreasonable?"

"I have always just expressed my gratitude." The old director kept a servant-like smile.

If he walked out of this door, he would be a business tycoon sought after by reporters from major financial media in the alliance, a huge figure who could cause economic turmoil in several countries with just a stomp of his feet. However, for him, pretending to be a servant here is more important.

Aster was silent for half a minute, as if he was choosing what to say, or determining how many people were listening now.

However, after a brief thought, he finally let out a sigh of relief: "In the next six months, the presidents of four of the six galaxies will be replaced. The people in charge of the fleet will also change to a certain extent. As long as the turmoil caused later... well, haha, you are a big boss in the ship energy system industry, you should not be affected too much."

"This, this..." The old man's eyes widened, but before he could scream, the amiable young man patted his shoulder in the air, as if advising a younger generation: "Don't think too much, Mr. Maide, follow the government's pace, and you will be safe. Your company is a big taxpayer and a big contributor to national stability. Of course, you have more than 80 million employees under your command, most of whom are technicians for orbital operations. Do you understand what I mean?"

In addition to expressing to the other party that he already understood, what else can he do?

Astri laughed and greeted the directors who were not offline, and then left, leaving the energy industry giant who was still sad.

I have 80 million workers under my command. How much will the annual labor cost increase according to the government's requirements? Can I avoid the new tax increase bill? The old capitalist was still thinking about how to do the accounting when he heard the complaints of other directors in the room.

"I have 30 million people under my command. If I cannot use labor dispatch in the future, I will have to support at least 30 million more people. If we really want to establish a 10-hour work system and a minimum wage, the profit will be very meager! I can't afford my celestial ball team and rowing team!"

"You can't afford the celestial ball team and rowing team, I can't even afford my seaside park. It's obviously the land I chose, the manor I designed, the beach I paved, and I just grazed 10,000 golden sheep fish in the shallow sea. I haven't even had time to live there for a day!"

"Haha, who here is not engaged in shipbuilding and shipping? Who doesn't have tens of millions of workers? That lady... no, isn't that what the princess meant? We must appease our workers. Whoever does not do well will make the Azure Palace unhappy and will have to die. Ahahaha, die, everyone must die!"

In fact, it's not really to the point of death. To be honest, the big guys of the alliance are very particular about what they do, and they don't like to destroy the flesh, which is much more particular than the imperial devils on the opposite side who often smear the family.

But for the capitalists, losing wealth and social status is probably more painful than lingchi of their nine clans.

"Okay, the eldest lady has given us enough face. I think the banks and fleets will not be as decent as today, right?" said an old man who looked mature and steady.

The scene suddenly fell into an unspeakable silence.

The successful capitalists are certainly greedy and cruel, and they are certainly soft-hearted and morally low, but no one dares to deny that they are all smart people. They then divergently realized that if even the banks and fleets have experienced intense turmoil, doesn't this mean that there are problems within the thirteen families?

"What about Beifeng, Thor, Titan and Future Laboratory?" These military-industrial complexes and cutting-edge scientific departments are the real lifeblood of the big guys.

"Everything seems to be stable. I heard that the workers of Polaris have actually been working for ten hours, much earlier than the general's speech."

"You should have told me about this earlier."

"The Guerrilla Association and the Supernatural Administration have really started a war, do you really know nothing about it?"

"Civil war among the Thirteen Families?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Your thinking is too conspiracy-theoretic, and it doesn't fit your status at all. Remember, there are no Thirteen Families in the Alliance!"

"Yes, there are no Thirteen Families!"

As a result, the atmosphere on the scene became even more depressing. The business leaders suddenly realized a problem. Whether it was the domineering Princess Rainbow Rose or the harmonious Astrid Enor, they were not the same kind of people as themselves.

They didn't come to a meeting at all, but to make an ultimatum with one playing the red face and the other playing the white face. What is the essential difference between these thirteen families who dominate the alliance behind the scenes and the dragon kings of the empire?

Of course, the disputes between the extraordinary nobles are not something that mortals like them can figure out. They just know that since the Princess Rainbow Rose dared to appear on the stage, it can only mean that the rulers have reached a consensus.

When they thought of this, the directors of the Standard Shipping Association really had no time to continue to waste their minds. They must return to their respective companies to take charge of the overall situation and adapt to the new alliance policy.

These directors of the Standard Shipping Association are of course far from the only capitalists in the alliance who have this awareness.

So, before General Feno Berenkast officially began to perform his duties, many things that the general could not solve had already been solved. Just based on this point, he will definitely be an excellent national leader.

Of course, the premise is not to officially declare war on the empire and suffer heavy losses.

Fortunately, the people of the Berenkast family never like to get ahead, and they are very natural in all aspects.

After logging off and returning to her luxury airship, Yamida Berenkester had just drunk a small cup of herbal tea when she received intelligence from the front line: "Is the Imperial Fleet approaching Chanchuan? Our space city has just been rebuilt, and the branch of the Polaris Bank even sent some gold coins as reserves? The Imperial Fleet is not coming to rob, right?"

Behind the light curtain, a Montmarry man wearing the uniform of the Alliance Vice Admiral reported: "It is just an outpost fleet composed of light cruisers and destroyers. They retreated only when they were two jumps away from Chanchuan, the Lalit galaxy."

He was meticulous in his report, as if he was reporting to his superior.

Well, in a sense, the current Princess Rainbow Rose can indeed be regarded as her superior. Less than ten minutes after Feno Berenkester was appointed as the Grand Commander authorized by Congress, he gave his daughter the position of "Assistant for National Defense and Security Affairs".

This is not a permanent position, but it is indeed a high-ranking position with the right to make decisions on all units related to "national security" such as the military, intelligence departments, and police agencies.

Of course, the father and daughter of the Bei family did not seem to think there was anything wrong with this arrangement, and the parliamentarians and the public had no objections. Many people even said: "If the princess is directly the commander-in-chief, we will be relieved."

"That is to say, the Imperial Fleet has not entered the Cross Nebula Channel at present."

The Montmarri Lieutenant General from the Alliance Chief of Staff nodded: "The main force of the Imperial Army led by Marshal Este still set up a defense line along the galaxy at the junction of Femo and the Cross Nebula. They deployed three Titans here. If they advance to Chanchuan, the supply line will be too long."

Yamida smiled: "But we have five Titans and eleven dreadnoughts on the Chanchuan line. Does the Empire look down on us?"

"This..." The Lieutenant General's expression was a little unnatural humiliation.

"But the Empire has deployed six Titans in the small town of Said. They really look down on us. There is no doubt about it."

"... Admiral Ackbar believes that if the Empire does not reach Chanchuan, it will not be considered an invasion."

"Even if they reach Chanchuan, it is far from an invasion. After all, it is still in the neutral zone." Princess Rainbow Rose smiled: "Where is the Colossus?"

This is actually the only question that Miss Bei cares about.

"It is certain that the 'Emperor's Staff' used on the Spiral Nebula last time is still in the Empire, deployed in the Goren Galaxy. As for the 'Wrath of the Sun God', it did appear in Femo a week ago. There is more than one intelligence channel that can prove this. Admiral Akbar believes that this was deliberately made for us to see."

"Very good, I completely agree with the opinions of the frontline generals."

"However, the temporary shogunate of the Imperial Army stationed in the Elaba Galaxy has sent letters to all forces, demanding their surrender, including the warlords we have supported and the autonomous territories within our traditional sphere of influence. Moreover, they issued it in the name of the Imperial Femo Star Region Protectorate. . "

"Is this the Protectorate?" Yamida was happy: "Then who is the Protectorate?"

"This is still being verified." The lieutenant general hesitated for a moment, his voice unconsciously became a little lower, and he said in a negotiating tone: "... The General Staff believes that if we cannot deploy "Miss Yulian" to Canchuan in time, it is difficult to guarantee that the Empire will remain restrained. "

Yamida Berenkast paused for a moment and smiled: "Even if the emperor put his own palace in Feimo, he would not be able to use force against all the forces of Feimo. There is no need to make trouble. Tell Admiral Akbar and everyone in the General Staff that I thank them for their hard work on behalf of the commander-in-chief. "

"But if our vassal swears allegiance to the Empire and we do not respond, it may cause a chain reaction." Montmarai said.

"I understand, thank you. The commander-in-chief will hold a military meeting within 24 hours, please be more prepared."
