The frigate arrived at the coastline ahead of the rescue aircraft.
After the overnight military operation ended, when we returned to the Governor's District, we could already see the white light of the sunrise on the coastline.
Jiang Sui glanced at the endless coastline and the port city where chimneys had been erected, and said to himself: "Now you can start thinking about military expansion."
The various weirdness revealed by the Life Unsullied Sect once again made Jiang Sui feel a sense of urgency in his heart.
Even if Jiang Sui could become invincible on Tianhai Planet by relying on frigates and an administrative status recognized by the empire, it would only be limited to this backward and desolate planet.
The enemies Jiang Sui faced now were all within the imperial system. When facing Jiang Sui, he was naturally at a legal disadvantage.
But what if...the enemy comes from the stars?
Tianhaixing itself is an enclave far away from the mainland of the empire. Unless there is a serious rebellion or invasion, the imperial navy will not even station a warship here.
In the empire's territory, which is thousands of light years away, the only way to transmit information is through various super-light means - with the current output of Tianhaixing, it will not be possible to recoup the cost of transmitting a message even for several months.
If there is a crisis outside the planet, the Governor's Mansion will not be able to resist at all, and it will not even be able to transmit information.
When the Imperial Navy comes, they can only collect the corpses for themselves.
"We must unify the planets as soon as possible, develop technology, and explore beyond the stars."
After flying for dozens of minutes and passing through cities and industrial bases, the frigate slowly landed on the landing pad of Botu City.
On the way to the office, Gu Qinghuan asked: "Mr. Governor, how should we deal with the relationship with the Dongyang Trading Group?"
After this military action, relations between the two parties have fallen to a freezing point.
The empire classifies all faiths as cults. Once this incident came out, all the intricacies of the relationship between the Eastern Ocean Trading Group and the Life Unsullied Sect were revealed, which was tantamount to completely tearing each other apart.
"No need to deal with it." Jiang Sui waved his hand, "Just hold a press conference and publish all the evidence we found. At the same time, demand war compensation for these victims, 10 gold coins for each victim who did not lose their lives, equivalent to 100 grams of pure gold. ; and twice as many victims lost their lives.”
"Of course, the Governor's Mansion also needs to consume manpower and material resources to handle these compensations, so they also need to add 20% to the total compensation to pay it to the Governor's Mansion."
"Understood, I'll find someone to arrange it now." Gu Qinghuan nodded, and then said with emotion, "Obviously we are the victor and have obtained so many drilling platforms and coal mines, but they still have to pay compensation to us."
"On the battlefield, only the winner is entitled to claim compensation."
…
After returning to the office, Jiang Sui immediately opened the panel and consumed all the alloys to recruit as many troops as possible.
Now the overall situation in Tianhaixing has gradually become clear - the various tribes in the southern hemisphere headed by the Life Unsullied Sect are fighting against the various forces in the northern hemisphere headed by the Governor's Mansion.
The Eastern Ocean Trading Group that hangs overseas currently seems to be an ally of the Immaculate Life Sect.
On paper, it seems that the overall strength of the alliances in the northern hemisphere, which has two industrial production areas, exceeds that of the southern hemisphere.
There is only one problem - the so-called alliance in the northern hemisphere is too loose and they are almost fighting on their own.
"Warrant Officer Gu, Staff Officer Zhou, do you think we should first stabilize our allies and work with them to solve the problem in the south first? Or should we unite all the forces in the north first and then fight a decisive battle with the Life Unsullied Sect?"
Zhou Qing thought for a while and said: "Even if the forces around us unite under external pressure, it will be difficult to completely wipe out the southern forces... because the closer we are to victory, the greater the conflict of interests between us. "
"So, do you think we should unite all the forces in the north first and bring them all under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion before engaging in a decisive battle?"
Zhou Qing nodded: "Yes, but when you unify the northern forces, it is best not to damage our own strength too much."
This is not a problem... Sanhai Bank, which borders the Immortal Sect of Life, is already firmly tied up with mortgage loans. As long as they can find a way to prevent them from repaying the loans, they can easily take over the canal area.
The Aluminum Association has also laid the foundation for the "Mutual Aid Association for Injured and Injured Workers".
Once these two forces are swallowed up, it will not be difficult to deal with the lonely alliance fruit in the north.
After initially formulating a strategy, Jiang Sui turned to look at Gu Qinghuan and asked, "Warrant Officer Gu, how is the press conference going? Has the Dongyang Trading Group responded?"
Gu Qinghuan immediately reported: "The Dongyang Trading Group agreed to all our requests, but repeatedly stated that this was only humanitarian relief, and the tragedy on the islands was Apstein's personal behavior. At the same time, they also expressed angrily that our unilateral Military action is 'unacceptable'."
"All planes carrying the hostages have landed safely and we are now verifying their identities."
"The special investigation team has flown to the archipelago and is investigating clues on the archipelago."
As soon as he finished speaking, a prompt popped up on the management panel.
[Emergency incident (stage updated)]
[Your team has noticed that there may be a secret underground industry hidden in the Eastern Ocean Islands, and has successfully investigated the first phase of clues]
[The first phase of the incident has been successfully resolved]
[Rewards for successful resolution of the incident: Immediately +10% degree of formation of the "New World" national ideological trend, +20 cohesion, +20 influence, +30 intelligence value on the East Dayang Trading Group]
[The formation degree of the "New World" national ideological trend: 30% (due to the vigorous publicity of the rescued hostages, an additional 5% formation degree will be obtained after one month)]
[You have diplomatically condemned the Dongyang Trading Group and received war reparations]
[Due to the bad nature of the incident, the degree of formation of the "Great Mother" national thought in all regions of the planet is reduced by 10%]
[The second phase of the incident has begun. The archipelago is under investigation. The investigation will take one month... Since your intelligence value on the Dongyang Trading Group has reached the "high intelligence" level, the Governor's Mansion will receive an additional piece of intelligence after the investigation is completed]
"Very good." Seeing that everything was developing in an orderly manner, Jiang Sui nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, where's Aisha? I want to see how this cultist reacts now."
Gu Qinghuan turned to look at the door and replied: "She is outside the door now, but she seems to be a little depressed. Can I call you in?"
After getting the governor's consent, the little cultist walked into the office with his head lowered, looking a bit like he was tucking his tail between his legs.
Jiang Sui was not polite and asked directly: "Have you seen those photos? These are also the teachings of the 'Great Mother'?"
"No! Absolutely not..." Aisha suddenly raised her head, her face very determined, "They are blaspheming their loving mother!"
Jiang Sui asked with interest: "Since they are heretics, you should be happy to see them arrested, right?"
Aisha's face was once again filled with confusion: "That, that is not heresy...those symbols can only be used by our high priest."
"Since you all believe in 'Mother', since you think they are blaspheming 'Mother', and since they are not heretics... then who is the heretic?"
Aisha was confused by a series of questions: "Am I the heretic?"
Almost like a child... Jiang Sui suppressed his laughter and waved his hand: "Don't jump to conclusions so early, continue to live in my territory, continue to watch, continue to think!"
