Chapter 646 How did it become a military-industrial complex?
What Agnes said was very reasonable, but even though she said that, when it was actually done, it was not that simple.
There are a dozen ancient Meiya people here, all of whom have participated in the God of War Festival. Three of them are psykers. Within the scope of the galaxy, they can be regarded as a small but capable fighting team. Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of work.
Opportunistic.
But we also know that the empire is a country with a very strict bureaucracy and centralized management, and the control of adventurers and mercenaries is also very strict. Small armed groups that can move relatively freely within the empire basically have officials or big nobles
background.
As for Agnes and the others, not to mention weapons licenses, even registering a mercenary group had to go through twenty procedures and travel to seven or eight space cities.
Fortunately, just when they were at their wits' end, they happened to see Mr. Karnovich's recruitment advertisement posted on the mercenary union network, and then met Mr. Ginsu during the interview.
Ever since, such a temporary team composed of humans, Terrabis and Ancient Meians was established. Everyone began their journey to the stars and the sea with great courage... Then, there was the journey beyond the borders of the empire,
It was blocked on the Luyuan planet on the border, and an entire planet had been blocked.
"So, what are you..." Yu Lian asked curiously.
Uncle Maozi and Uncle Maoren looked at each other and seemed to be trying to form words, but girl Gumeiya's face showed obvious flinch. She rubbed her hands awkwardly and said cautiously: "Well, uh, captain, if you can
,We, you..."
Feifei kicked Agnes calmly, and the latter hurriedly said: "Can you borrow money..."
Before she finished speaking, she was kicked again and quickly changed her words: "Are you willing to invest some money in us?"
Yu Lian's first reaction was that you girl looks so stupid and stupid, but you can't believe that you are quite vicious. You actually want to harm me. After all, I, Yu Lian, am a professional officer of the community and receive a national salary. According to the laws of the community, I am on active duty.
Military officers cannot hold part-time jobs, let alone serve as legal persons or shareholders of any enterprise.
What, you mean Red Star Design Institute? I've said it many times! That's the business of my friends. I just go there occasionally to be a guest and give some ideas and chat.
However, Miss Agnes has not been someone who can read the air since the God of War Festival. She didn't seem to notice Yu Lian's troubled expression at all, and began to explain seriously that she was an ancient Meiya, so she must
It is impossible to establish a legal mercenary group and adventure group. But if you go to the alliance, the alliance citizens and registration fees alone cannot afford it. But at this time, Uncle Karnovich's God of the North Wind asked
She felt refreshed and immediately opened the door to a new world.
"As I said before, there should be no job in the world that is more profitable and more rewarding than developing a company, and it also allows people to grow more."
"So you also want to set up a planet development company?" Yu Lianqi asked. This is not as sensitive as a mercenary group or an adventure group, but the registration standards are still quite high. At least the legal person of the company is required to have certain qualifications and professional background.
"...Have you ever gone to college?" Yu Lian couldn't help but ask.
"I have studied it! What do you think I am? I studied design at the Far Star Academy of Fine Arts."
"Oh, a junior college! And it's also in art..."
Agnes was so depressed that she didn't want to speak anymore. She was obviously severely shocked, but she couldn't even find a word to refute.
At this time, Mr. Karnovich smiled and said: "Actually, Miss Agnes and Mr. Ginsu have officially joined the team, and we will work together to make the God of the North Wind."
Yu Lian thought to himself that this was indeed a path he had never imagined.
Mr. Karnovich is a well-known former mercenary. Although he is not a psychic, he is brave, resourceful, experienced in combat, and has developed the "Holy Land Planet". Naturally, he can be regarded as a mercenary on the road.
Number one.
However, there are really only three people in his company. Originally, he just wanted to do some small supporting jobs and gradually accumulate experience, recruit talents step by step, and expand the scale of operations. He is almost fifty years old this year. If
It would be very satisfying to be able to develop the company into a well-known medium-sized company before retirement.
But he is not humble. A newly established leather goods company has even considered participating in the God of War Festival to advertise the company. Why did he take over the big business of hosting the development of the planet?
But since Colonel Yu Lian, Mr. Qi, and even the New China Sector Government admired him so much, of course he had to bite the bullet.
Fortunately, he felt that he might have been favored by the spirit of the universe. Just when he was happily worrying about this sudden big business, Agnes and Ginsu came to his door.
Isn’t this uncle worried about being ignored?
"I'm not a big shot. My only advantage is that I've traveled to more than two hundred newly developed planets in my life, and I've even gone deep into the Holy Land. I'm not bragging, but in terms of my ability to develop planets, I can definitely rank first in the industry.
The top twenty." Uncle Maozi said with a smile: "What if a leather bag company with only three people is sidelined? If they are really unreliable, the worst they can do is just run away."
Speaking of this, Uncle Maozi's face flashed with a look of pride. It seemed that even if a hundred people came to the company, as long as he was still doing pioneering work, he would still be the boss.
Yu Lian smiled: "This girl is young and stubborn, so it's understandable that she wants to look around. So, Mr. Ginsu, what about you?"
"I am sixty years old." The veteran Terrabi adventurer showed a smile that has seen many vicissitudes of life: "I have to think about the future for future generations."
Yu Lian looked at them carefully, then looked at Feifei, who was still drinking tea, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Okay! What kind of investment method..."
"We are about to run out of food." Agnes said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Mr. Kainovich coughed loudly, and then said: "Since everyone is a team, professional equipment and equipment need to be purchased. However, we do not have so much cash."
"Yes, this guy has the most manpower, but he is still a poor guy." Yu Lian smiled and said, "But you can find a bank."
"I don't know anyone from the bank, and I guess the Empire's bank is unlikely to give me money. As for the Alliance... I always feel that if I accept their money, I might be sold to the Crab Boat one day.
." Agnes sighed: "I don't know many rich people, and the only one I can trust is you. Hey, look at the connections of our ancient Meiya people, it's really sad!"
Yu Lian was inexplicably moved for a moment. Of course, as a professional soldier of the community, he could not make commercial investments casually, let alone a business like the Planet Development Company that would have some contact with the military. So, although he was very
I was moved but could only reject the other party flatly.
Fortunately, the considerate Feifei quickly called Liuli and Zhixia to discuss various matters. As a result, the Red Star Office will inject 100 million Xinxin Stars to control 30% of the North Wind God.
shares.
It stands to reason that a leather bag company with only three people is definitely not worth so much money. However, a team of more than twenty people, including senior adventurers and seven or eight psykers, is definitely worth the money.
More importantly, everyone felt that they had taken advantage of it, and they talked happily about what happened next.
Agnes sighed with satisfaction, saying that she could finally take Regina and the others to eat meat. They had been stranded on Luyuan Planet for a week and were really running out of food.
Yu Lian now knew why Agnes came to him to beg for food.
"What does it mean to beg for food?" the Gumeiya girl said angrily: "If I go to the Alliance and the Empire to ask for help, then I am really begging for food on my knees."
"what about me?"
"Of course I'm here to work for you. I'll take good care of you in the future, boss." Agnes seemed to want to squeeze out a sweet smile on her face for the boss, but unfortunately she was not used to it. Compared to humans
The nose that seemed a bit square and three-dimensional in general was slightly twitched, and it seemed to have a sharp sense like that of a big cat predator.
Feifei held the tea cup again and started drinking.
"I'm not the boss. Again, we're just consultants to Red Star Firm, and we only help without any funding!"
Everyone immediately showed understanding. Yu Lian could only pretend that he didn't see it.
But, then again, Red Star Institute has clearly stated that it is a design office, but its subordinates have already controlled a considerable number of shares in the metallurgical, energy and weapons manufacturing industries, and now they have also invested in paramilitary organizations. It is already
The prototype of the military-industrial complex has been established. Yu Lian always feels that this setting is a bit familiar, and if it continues to grow, it may not be able to be hidden.
Ever since, after saying goodbye to everyone, Yu Lian expressed the above doubts to Feifei.
"Huh? So Yu'er is planning to hide? Yu'er made friends with Mr. Qi, laid out plans in the New China area, and formed an association of young officers with classmate Wein, isn't it just to help him on the battlefield?
More people?”
Can you please stop making me look like a careerist who is afraid of growing up?
"However, with your current pace, it will indeed arouse the vigilance of many people. Yu'er has not noticed that all of your positions are those where the nobles can gain limelight and gain benefits, but they are not where you can lay a foundation.
Is it an actual combat unit leadership position?”
Yu Lian thought to himself that I had discovered it a month earlier.
"However, no matter how we develop, our Red Star Institute is far less than the size of giants like Blue Label, let alone the super chaebols of the alliance and the royal companies of the empire. For the big guys of the community,
Your win-win value is far greater than hostility and vigilance. Therefore, at present, Yu'er will only rise step by step in noble professions. When he reaches the rank of major general or above before the age of 30, he can naturally retire and join politics. With your current status
Prestige, no matter which party you join, will definitely be the object of their strong support. Maybe this can make someone become the first lady before the age of 40."
At this point, Feifei even made herself amused: "Forget it, this title sounds a bit unlucky, let's discuss it later. In short, there is really no need to worry about fish, just slow down a little and expand slowly. This way
So as not to make the big shots in the country too nervous,"
Yu Lian knew that he really didn’t have to worry. Judging from the current international situation, there should still be time, but it was not enough to be able to develop slowly step by step!
"Yes... So my idea is that when Mr. Qi officially runs for election and establishes a new party, we will summarize the shares we control and set up an asset management company, affiliated to the new party, and treat it as party assets.
?”
Well, let’s call this asset management company X Run! Look how smart I am.
Feifei was slightly startled, blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes, her expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but she was happy and pitiful: "Yu'er has really grown up! He has become a very mature, cunning and philistine adult!"
"
"Everyone knows that although Wen and the others are active military personnel, sooner or later they will retire and enter politics, and nine out of ten they will join this new party. If it really becomes a so-called party
Isn't it equivalent to sharing these benefits with everyone? The Venn family, the Rozer family, the Kent family, these famous families that have a history of hundreds of years, have all become your small interest groups!"
"Hehehe, Yu'er, this kind of wrist that is wetted by rain and dew can be considered an emperor's method."
Yu Lian was completely confused by Feifei. He felt that he really had a public heart, but before he could tell, Feifei said: "This operation is very beautiful, but there are still a lot of cutscenes to go through. Just leave the fish alone."
Yes, I will let Zhixia and Liuli handle it."
Yu Lian wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, no normal words came out for a while. After a while, he finally said helplessly: "Tell me, Feifei, I am just an ordinary person with two sleeves and a clear breeze."
How come you, an active-duty military officer, inexplicably created a military-industrial complex?"
Now that even paramilitary organizations have taken shares, the next step should be mercenaries and security companies. Well, you can ask your senior sister if any directors of White Wing Angelo want to withdraw their shares.
Feifei chuckled, looking as if she was impressed by Yu Lian's shamelessness on the spot, but she still patiently explained: "Yagnis and the others do have the intention to join the God of the North Wind and build the company, but this should be done after
It happened after the empire made this order. They originally planned to enter the New World through the Dragon Throat Star Gate in the Black Gate Star District next to it. But they never expected that they would stay here for such a long time? Agnes
They spent all their living expenses, and happened to hear that you were in Luyuan Planet, so they had to come to you for help. She didn't look for anyone but came to you, which shows that she trusts you."
It's understandable, after all, we are comrades who have carried guns together.
"Miss Agnes's purpose should be relatively simple. However, Mr. Ginsu is not sure."
"He is General Azisha Mallowan's former adventure companion. He is a well-known archaeologist and treasure hunter in the industry... Of course, his reputation among the Terrabi people is very high." Yu Lian said with a smile.
Not only did he have a high reputation, but his son and grandson were also the leaders of the later Terabian independence movement. Of course, his son is still working as a social animal in the alliance in 996, and his grandson has just been born.
"Mr. Ginsu must have seen some possibilities in you. So I hope I can make friends with you and leave a way." The Terrabi paused for a moment, then said: "Yu'er, unknowingly
, you are already the hope of many people. Do you feel any pressure?"
"Then I just took a step towards success. When everyone no longer places their hope on me, but on themselves, then it will be considered a real success." Yu Lian was noncommittal, and then directly changed the topic: "Dragon Maw Star
The door is sealed? When? Why? Is it because of the glorious mission?"
