Chapter 066: War Doesn't Need Mercy
Ah Li nodded his head: "This is a good idea, I'll find a few clever ones, just our own people, who have the ability to have a hunch and can better complete the task." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Although Ah Li is still young, he is very smart and decisive, once he faces something, he will face it seriously and think carefully, even if it is in the face of a cruel war.
"I'm not a Fergo after all, and I can give you ideas, but the specific implementation is up to you, and the deployment of personnel is up to you. Wu Chang continued: "The second step is to buy the main starship, but we have to wait for the right time, and after the Black Eagle Empire's fleet has reacted to the first wave of spaceships, I think the only possibility for the empire to be able to transfer the remaining combat power of the Rand Star in addition to buying ships at the site, so that the Rand Star will be more empty, and the greater the probability of the success of the battle plan." β
Mucho has already made detailed inferences and has planned them thoroughly, so it is also very organized and easy to understand.
Ah Li's eyes are also brighter and brighter, and he is more reverent, as if he feels that there is a light ahead, victory beckoning in the distance, and he is no longer confused and overwhelmed.
She didn't know that although she was guided by a path of hope, it was also a road of no return, which escalated the war and cut off the hope of a peaceful settlement of Fogo, the Black Eagle Empire fought for dignity, and later the empire fought for survival, investing more and more troops, and a war on a scale that had never been seen in hundreds of thousands of years of interstellar alliances broke out.
Wu Chang himself did not expect that the war would escalate step by step, and it would be out of control, causing a full-scale war between the two second-level civilization powers.
There is a theory that argues that a very small event can cause unforeseen consequences, and that a flap of a butterfly's wings can cause a big storm.
Of course, not all butterflies can cause a storm, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
However, no one can really control the future.
Wu Chang didn't think much about it at this time, he was adding his plan: "Starships and spaceships can generally be operated intelligently, but none of you have ever touched a starship, let alone experience in interstellar warfare, so I will send a special subordinate to guide you." β
"Special subordinates?" Ah Li was puzzled, she suddenly came back to her senses, and said nervously: "Big brother, you don't fight with us?"
Wu Chang shook his head: "I am an outsider, I can give you ideas, but it is inconvenient to participate in the war in person, even you can't go with the ship, you have to follow me, I promised to protect your safety." β
Ah Li said eagerly: "But just now you asked me to pick up this burden and command them, how can I not follow them?"
Wu Chang said: "When you arrive at the site, you will immediately heal Kara, and when the starship departs, she should already be able to move with the ship, and she will command this battle, but before that, it will be up to you." β
Ah Li nodded, but said in a low voice: "Big brother, can you let me be with Aunt Kara, they are fighting to the death, and I can only watch from afar, how can I feel at ease." β
"Nope. Wu Chang said categorically: "You have more important things to do, you have to gather those clansmen who have returned from working outside at the site, that is the real main force that will determine the final fate of your Fergo Star, and your identity is more advantageous than Kara." β
Ah Li thought for a moment, although he was still a little hesitant, but responded: "Okay." β
Wu Chang said: "After they win the victory on Rand Star, they will have enough money to buy large starships and form a powerful starfleet, and they will have the strength to fight with the Black Eagle Empire. β
"Large starships?" Ah Li was stunned, she had seen medium-sized starships that cut pirates in half, passenger ships were like ants and elephants compared to them, large starships must be far larger than medium-sized starships, stronger, and more expensive unimaginably more expensive, she couldn't help but say: "Is there so much money on Rand Star?"
Wu Chang smiled: "Yes, of course there is, although the empire's annual tax revenue is only a few billion, but the tax rate is only five percent, so most of the wealth is in the people, although the Rand Star is not rich compared to other planets, but I dare not imagine the wealth accumulated over the years, there is no problem in buying large starships, but how many can be bought, I can't estimate." β
Ah Li's mind suddenly appeared such a picture: a group of fat sheep without the care of a shepherd dog.
She shook her head to dispel the illusion and asked, "But what if these people refuse to hand it over?"
"Then tie them up and put them on starships as hostages as bargaining chips with the Empire. β
"What about those who don't have money?"
Wu Chang thought about it early: "After the Rand Star is defeated, each person will be charged a war tax of one hundred credits, and those who can't pay it will be pledged to the starship as hostages, and for those rich people who have money, half of the part that exceeds one hundred credits will be deducted for them to keep half, so that they will not resist fiercely, and half of the deduction will be given to them in white, which is considered a war loan, and will be returned after the war." β
"Do you really have to repay the war loans, but what will you pay back when the time comes?"
Wu Chang smiled mysteriously: "In addition, they can also be given a choice, which is to use this money to redeem those who have no money and are withheld, I think they will be happy to choose the latter, so that they can redeem their relatives and friends, and even people they don't know, they will get credibility and gratitude from others, and they will pass on their debts, they will definitely be happy to do this compared to the ethereal white stripes." β
Ah Li's brain was a little confused, war, it turned out that it could be so shameless.
Wu Chang but Tian shamelessly continued: "Although the population of Rand Star is sparse, there are also 10 million people, one hundred per person, which is one billion, even if it is only one half, there are 500 million, you can buy ten large starships, which is enough for the Black Eagle Empire to give up Fergo Star, and then you Fergo people can not only get freedom and fairness, but also have autonomy." β
Although Wu Chang will help the sub-human race, he will not really want to make Fergo independent, that is not necessarily a good thing for Fergo, war is just a tool, in the end, it is necessary to compromise, help Fergo people gain autonomy, and have a certain self-defense ability, this is the limit of what he can do, after all, it is none of his business, and he is also a Black Hawk, there is no reason for Fergo to separate from the Black Hawk Empire.
Ah Li listened with fascination, and seemed to see a bright future for the Fergo people, from the original almost impossible, just a kind of luck to embark on a journey according to the guidance of the prophet, to see hope, and then hope seemed to be within reach, even better than originally imagined.
Fergo Star autonomy, this is something that even Grandpa Dawn, the old patriarch of the Spirit Clan, dare not think about.
Ali grew more and more convinced that the prophet's prophecy would eventually come true.
Wu Chang looked at the little girl of the Spirit Fox Clan who was in a daze, and continued: "For those who dare to resist, you can see blood, but it is best not to engage in massacre, otherwise there will be endless troubles." β
Ah Li immediately shook his head: "No, we Fergo people are not bad people, and we won't kill people indiscriminately." β
Wu Chang doesn't think so, war, there is no distinction between good and bad people.
He didn't care, and finally said his other purpose, revealing his fox tail: "There are a lot of interstellar bounty hunters on Rand Star now, these people have strong abilities, if there is a conflict, it may cause a lot of losses, and they should be treated differently, they are not Randers after all, so they don't have to pay war taxes, but they must be taken care of centrally, and I will deal with them." β
"Interstellar bounty hunters?" Ah Li knew: "I know, they are very powerful, I have a distant aunt named Xin Yi, she married to an alien, and her husband is a bounty hunter, but their poor son Ah Dong has a strange life, even genetic medicine can not cure it, can only rely on the prophet Holy Spring to hang his life, they go around doing tasks to make money, all of them are transferred to Soto, used to treat Ah Dong, we have saved a small half of the money they earned." β
Wu Chang asked, "Prophet Holy Spring, what is that?"
Ah Li hesitated for a moment, but still said it, there is no need to hide this secret from the nobles prophesied by the prophet:" There is a prophetic icon in our holy temple, with three eyes, and there is a small clear spring next to the holy statue, every newborn in our clan will drink a sip of holy spring water to get the blessing of the prophet, but the holy spring water is decreasing year by year, and now there is only a small drop every day, which is only enough for the newborn of the clan to drink, then Ah Dong is looking at Aunt Xin Yi to transfer a lot of money to give him a drop every year, this Ah Dong is also very strange, as long as he drinks the holy spring, he will quickly become the same as a normal person, but it will slowly weaken, if it is not for the holy spring to hang his life, I am afraid of dying earlyγ β
Wu Chang's heart moved, could it be that the premonition ability of the Spirit Fox Clan came from that holy spring?
But then he no longer cared, with the Prophet Treasure Mirror, he still cared what it did with the Holy Spring, and besides, the premonition ability was always inferior to the intuitive ability in his heart, and the mental power was not as good as the telekinesis, so he said casually: "The statue of the three eyes is rare, and your holy statue is male or female?"
Ah Li shook his head: "I can't see men and women, except for the three eyes, the other places of the icon are very blurry, only the general outline, oh, the prophet's mirror is its third eye, it was once stolen, and then it came back by itself, our ancestors in order to prevent it from being stolen again, they took it down and made it into a necklace, which has been passed down from generation to generation by each patriarch, and now the third eye on the icon is imitated." β
Wu Chang listened interestingly and said, "So, you are the next patriarch?"
Ah Li shook his head: "The prophet not only predicted the final victory of Fogo Star, but also predicted the war of Fogo Star, and also predicted that the Prophet Mirror would leave Fogo with me, and we just did it according to the guidance of the prophet." β
Wu Chang secretly pouted: "The prophet is so powerful, could it be that he already knew that the treasure mirror would fall into my hands?"
