The Witch's Taste

--------

Not getting an answer from Xia Qingyu, Chen Ziang had no choice but to find another way. After all, the Aegelaos sector was the next destination of the starship. To rush there without knowing anything about it would undoubtedly be a disservice to the entire crew of the ship. irresponsible.

As for who to ask, of course there is no need to look far away from the near, the two people with whom you have the best relationship are the ones with whom you have the best relationship.

"Aegelaos Star Sector?" Xia Zili thought for a moment and replied, "That's the territory of the Bakht Group."

"As one of the eight giants of the Federation, the Bakht family has many jurisdictions directly under the star sector. Aegelaos is a newly developed urban planet by them, but it seems that they have not yet fully controlled it."

“What does total control mean?”

"Well, how should I put it?" Xia Zili tried hard to explain, "For a company, the prerequisite for completely controlling a star district is that all important political and commercial nodes within the star district are under the control of the company. .”

"For example, if two-thirds of a city's council members are controlled by a company, then the company can pass or veto any bill in the city at will. This is called 'complete control.'"

"Aegelaos was developed under the leadership of the Bakht family. The project is called 'Project Paradise'. The purpose is to create a city planet exclusively for the enjoyment of wealthy people and to improve the success rate of business negotiations."

"Of course, after the development of the star sector is completed, it is inevitable that other companies will try to pick peaches. For example, the Rhine Business Alliance, Soul Mystery Company, and Barr Biotechnology Group all occupy a certain amount of space in the Aegelaos star sector. share.”

"In other words, we can take advantage of the conflicts between large companies..." Chen Ziang thought, "What is the relationship between these companies?"

"It's a long story." Xia Zili sighed and said, "The Rhine Alliance and Klublev are mortal enemies. The Bakht family is an ancient branch of the Klublev family and is a long-term ally. Therefore, the Rhine Alliance openly He is hostile to the Bakht family, but secretly he has always wanted to win over the Bakht family and divide the K-Pak alliance.”

"Can it still be like this?" Chen Ziang said in shock, taking a notebook and writing it down silently.

"Bacht is mainly engaged in real estate, mining and energy, and has a very high demand for funds." Xia Zili replied, "The Rhine Chamber of Commerce was originally established by financiers and bankers, so it can slowly corrode Bacht through capital injections. special."

"Soul Mystery is an information technology company supported by the Rhine Alliance to compete with Klublev's high-precision manufacturing industry. It has no long-term relationship with the Bakht family - at least not as far as I know."

"Barr Biological Group, this giant is quite special and generally does not participate in the confrontation between Klublev and Rhine. They are mainly engaged in the food, biological and pharmaceutical industries. There are no other giants trying to get involved in these business fields, so Barr Group basically There is no such thing as an old enemy.”

"That's it." Chen Ziang wrote it down carefully.

"But what I said is just that there is no conflict between them on the surface." Xia Zili finally added, "In fact, no matter which giant they are, they must have the desire to monopolize the Aegelaos star sector. The cost of starting a corporate war is far greater than the benefits, so they can maintain a semblance of peace."

"In other words, as long as we figure out the hidden conflicts within these companies and try to intensify them, these companies will think about how to fight each other and will not care about our refugee ship, right?" Chen Ziang thought thoughtfully. .

"That's right." Xia Zili hesitated, and finally said, "But don't think too simply. There are smart people everywhere in big companies. If they are discovered by the other side, they will face the wrath of the chaebol. It’s going to be us.”

"Of course, I'm just making a plan." Chen Ziang replied, "I don't mean that I will definitely do this."

After saying goodbye to Xia Zili, Chen Ziang found Yuegong Suzuna again and told her his thoughts.

"Oh, this is normal." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile, "Senior, you don't have to worry so much. There are so many discords between these big companies, and anything can cause a fire."

"But maybe someone will see it, right?" Chen Ziang said worriedly, "What should I do if I get burned?"

"Hahaha." Suzuna Tsukimiya waved her hand and said, "Xia Zili told you, right? She has always stayed within the Krublev family and has never really experienced a business war. How can she know the situation here?"

"Yes, as long as you try to scheme against others, you may be discovered by the other party. However, in these large companies, there are countless calculations of all kinds. There are conflicts within departments, struggles for power between departments, and sub- Even if someone is aware of the rivalry between the company and its parent company, as well as the conspiracies and machinations from other external forces, how will they know who these calculations come from?"

Chen Ziang suddenly realized.

"To put it bluntly," Tsukimiya Suzuna concluded, "There are many smart people in big companies, but these smart people are fighting internally, externally, in groups, and in teams all the time. Each smart person is surrounded by more than ten Their enemies... As long as the calculations don’t come from their enemies, they don’t care about the refugee ships!”

"I did a lot of this kind of thing in my previous life. Otherwise, senior, how would you think I led a large group of people to freely move around the star field within the federation? If senior is worried, leave this matter to me! "

She patted her plump breasts confidently, making Chen Ziang feel the power of trust.

303. Chapter 302 The First Starship Meeting

the seventh day.

Today, there is no trace of ice or snow on the planet Gaotian—only the broken crust and the red-hot magma flowing in the cracks in the crust.

Starport dispatched a thousand-man exploration team, planning to go down to explore the situation in Jibei City.

The Forever starship also carried more than 1000 million refugees and began the first step of the galaxy wandering journey.

In any case, if we continue to stay here, there is no way we can sustain the supplies for more than three months.

As the take-off announcement was broadcast across the ship, the refugees, whether they were inside or outside the cabin, working or in a daze, all fell silent.

The warm cradle has been destroyed, and the babies are about to open their eyes and stagger into the deep and dark universe.

Unlike the refugees who knew nothing about the future and could only passively accept their fate, Chen Ziang, who was standing on the bridge, looked quite worried at this time.

The reason is simple: the Bakht Group publicly admitted its mistakes and offered to spend a "resettlement fund" to help the refugees from Gaotian Plains resettle in the Aegiraos sector.

If we ignore the fact that the Federation will go into full-scale war with the Empire in a few years, then it may not be a bad thing for refugees to settle in Aegelaos.

It is a pity that any human being staying in Aegelaos now means being sent to a concentration camp after a full-scale war, and the subsequent fate can be described as "life is worse than death".

But he couldn't tell the refugees about this because Chen Ziang couldn't produce any evidence, or even if he produced evidence, how many people would believe it?

Of course, if you really want to forcefully rescue people, then just keep the hatch of the Ever Given tightly closed and not let the passengers enter the star port of Aegelaos. Of course, it is impossible for the refugees to physically jump from space to the planet. No one will stay here seeking death.

But in this way, not to mention losing the hearts and minds of the people on the ship, the biggest problem is undoubtedly giving the Federation an excuse to launch a reasonable attack. They will definitely accuse and sanction the starship government on the Forever, and there will be no need for subsequent supplies. .

The Federation is about to go to war with the Empire, not now.Therefore, the Forever must try to delay the opportunity to break up with the federal elves, so as not to lose the supply opportunity in advance.

That is to say...

Refugees who want to stay on the planet Aegelaos cannot be forcibly stopped, and they must choose whether to commit suicide.

"So, do you have any ideas?" The first starship government meeting was held under the chairmanship of Chen Ziang.

Tsukinomiya Suzuna, Tenjoin Kazuhana, Xia Zili and Gloria, Xia Qingyu and Yuki Izumo attended the meeting, which made Chen Ziang start to wonder whether he should find a deputy to train...such as Lio or Lao Lu?

"After the previous documentary was broadcast, most starship residents already know that the destruction of Takamagahara is inseparable from the Federation's Elf Zaibatsu." Yuki Izumo was the first to speak up, "In this case, if we still Those who are willing to stay in the elves’ territory and die should let these fools go away to purify the team and save precious ship space.”

"Is this your intention or Xia Qingyu's?" Chen Ziang asked in confirmation.

"This is what Your Highness means." Yuuki Izumo replied.

Obviously, Xia Qingyu is still angry about what happened before, and now she doesn't want to talk to Chen Ziang.

"What do other people think?" Chen Ziang asked again.

"It's better to explain the situation as much as possible." Xia Zili sighed and said, "Tell the people that elves are not trustworthy and advise them to stay on the starship as much as possible."

"It's actually very simple." Suzuna Tsukimiya suddenly said, "Find a few people who are willing to disembark, send them to Aegelaos to immigrate, and then assassinate them. See who dares to stay with the elves without fear of death."

"If this is the case, it will be talked about, right?" Chen Ziang frowned and said, "Once the Bakht Group finds traces of our actions, it will definitely be punished with words and writings."

"Speaking of which." Tianshangyuan Hehua suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Why does the Bakht Group publicly announce that it will accept us?"

"It seems that he was attacked by public opinion." Tsukimiya Suzuna said leisurely.

"Who?" Chen Ziang asked.

"Galaxy News TV." Tsukimiya Suzuna replied, "It belongs to the Hurley Brothers Media Company and is a traditional ally with the Rheinland Business Alliance. It is currently lashing out at the Bakht Group for damaging the environment."

"In this case, in order to get rid of the disadvantage in public opinion, the Bakht Group will definitely slander us, right?" Tianshangyuan and Hua Sisuo said, "After all, as long as the refugees from Takamagahara are evil enough, then Baht who destroyed Takamagahara will be relatively Can I be forgiven if I say no?"

"This is also a propaganda method commonly used by chaebols." Xia Zili agreed, "And creating news that is not beneficial to us can also divert the attention of the people and make them forget about Gao Tianyuan as soon as possible."

"In other words, no matter what we do, we will be attacked by the Bakht Group in public relations." Chen Ziang thought about it, "This is troublesome."

"Speaking of this, I got some interesting information recently." Suzuna Tsukinomiya suddenly said, "I heard that the Baal Group is conducting an experiment to 'eliminate mosquitoes' and is currently soliciting large quantities of information from the entire Aegelaos sector. Subject.”

"The specific content of the experiment seems to be to cultivate a certain virus and implant it into the subjects. They claim that the virus will not cause harm to elves and humans, but if mosquitoes suck the blood of the subjects, the virus will It will destroy the genetic genes of the eggs in the female mosquito's body, weakening the reproductive ability of these mosquitoes from generation to generation, and eventually becoming completely extinct."

"You mean." Chen Ziang quickly grasped the key point, "Let the residents on the ship know that the Barr Group is conducting mosquito experiments..."

"...Then everyone will think, or be led to think in that direction, that the mosquitoes in the Aegelaos sector contain viruses." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile, "In this way, unless it is that kind of People who are not afraid of death, otherwise not many would dare to get off the ship, right?”

"Let me ask first." Chen Ziang suddenly asked, "Is this experiment conducted by the Barr Group really just to eliminate mosquitoes?"

"Who knows." Tsukimiya Suzuna spread her hands and said, "At least that's what they say to the outside world, and it can also be found online."

"The Barr Group will not do anything without profit." Xia Zili suddenly said, "No company will do anything without profit, let alone eliminate mosquitoes... Even if it is doing charity to enhance brand value, it should be vigorously promoted. yes."

"That's right." Suzuna Tsukimiya said with a smile, "But the Barr Group did not invest any public relations resources at all. They simply described the experimental plan when recruiting subjects. This is not very suspicious and can be used by us. ?"

"Where did you find out?" Chen Ziang asked in confirmation.

"The internal official website of Barr Group."

Everyone looked at each other.

Co-authorship is still an internal channel, which makes it even more suspicious.

"Then when we arrive in the Aegelaos sector, let's use this as an excuse to dissuade the starship residents from disembarking." Chen Ziang made the final decision, "As for the refugee resettlement plan provided by Bakht... there is no need for publicity control. Let’s also tell the residents when the time comes.”

"Speaking of this." Yuuki Izumo suddenly said, "Let's not forget about the people on the starship. The human residents who have settled in Aegelaos for a long time..."

"…Would you like to try to dig it out?"

304. Chapter 303 Sleep on my lap

The Forever enters a hyperspace jump state, targeting the Aegelaos sector.

Within the first 30 minutes after entering the hyperspace jump, the starship's engines stalled, the entire ship's production activities were suspended, and all electronic signals were cut off. Everyone must stay in their cabins to avoid any minor disturbances to the overall mass. .

Chen Ziang did not stay at the bridge, but hid alone in the lounge next to it.

This was his first time jumping on a starship.It is said that in the early years, the probability of accidents when starships entered the jump state was very high, such as mass disturbance, string detachment, space oscillation, etc... Nowadays, the technology of long-distance voyages has become quite mature, and the accident rate of jumps has been reduced to the minimum, but the risk remains. It has not been completely eliminated. According to big data statistics, it is about [-] out of [-].

If something unexpected happens...

Chen Ziang tried not to think wildly. The probability of six out of [-] seemed low, but it was still much higher than the one in a million in the aviation industry.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Zili pushed the door in from outside.

As the captain, Suzuna Tsukimiya must be in command during the jump phase. If she can't spare time, this is the best time to get closer to her husband!

"Oh, it's okay." Chen Ziang pondered for a moment and said frankly, "I'm just a little worried about the safety of the starship jump."

"I understand." Xia Zili sat down next to him, "Six ten thousandths, right?"

"Six per hundred thousand is actually not low." Chen Ziang sighed and said, "If it is really unfortunate, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die."

"However, the probability of the federation targeting us next can be said to be [-]%." ​​Xia Zili said with a smile, "I don't think you have ever been so worried."

"That's different." Chen Zi'ang shook his head, "The Federation's hostility to us is obvious, and we can work hard to fight against each other. But if there is an accident during the starship jump, we can't do anything. "

"I understand." Xia Zili said softly, "What you are afraid of is not the accident of the starship jump, but the feeling of powerlessness of being unable to do anything in the face of danger."

Chen Ziang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly in a low voice:

"Perhaps so."

"If in the end we failed to withstand the pressure of the federation and fell into defeat, at least we tried hard to survive."

"But if you die because of bad luck, wouldn't it be too frustrating?"

Xia Zili listened quietly, covered her mouth and smiled:

"So this is ah."

"Is this funny?" Chen Ziang's face darkened.

"Well, no." Xia Zili shook her head and said, "I just suddenly thought that you are exactly the same as you in the previous life."

--------

As the captain, during the jump, Suzuna Tsukimiya needs to pay attention to the data on every monitoring screen to eliminate any risks as much as possible.

But is Suzuna the kind of captain who sticks to her duties?

After only working for about ten minutes, she couldn't sit still, and waved her hand to call Tianshangyuan and Hua in front of her:

"Hehua, help me keep an eye on the data."

"Ah?!" Tianshangyuan and Hua suddenly felt as if they were struck by thunder, "But I have never done this kind of work..."

"But you have already studied in advance, right?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked with a smile.

Tianshangyuan and Hua were stunned, and soon their eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't worry, I can trust Kazuhana-chan, otherwise I wouldn't entrust the work to you, right?" Tsukimiya Suzuna stood up and pulled Tenjoin Kazuhana to her chair, "Let's talk more , you also want your parents to live a better life, right? If you work an extra job, your salary can also be increased, right?"

Faced with such a rogue Suzuna, Tenjoin Kazuhana could only hold back tears and began to get into work mode.

Suzuna Tsukimiya, who successfully got rid of her work, quietly came to the door of the lounge and was about to knock on the door when she suddenly heard Xia Zili's voice coming from inside:

"...You are exactly the same as you in the previous life."

Tsukimiya Suzuna:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
