Chapter 176: Sacrifice
The Governor's Palace, home planet garrison, a rebellion in such a frontier is extremely negative news for the federal government. This year coincides with the general election, so the consuls desperately want to downplay this matter, but the matter is definitely not covered at this point, so it can only reduce the attention of the voters.
In the eyes of politicians, the best way to counteract a negative news is to dig up positive news in the negative news. Therefore, the federal government urgently needs to create a hero to counteract the scandal of civil unrest in the Governor's Palace. And Domon's play, which was full of loopholes at this time, happened to meet the urgent needs of the upper echelons, so it was time for him to make a career.
Ivan, the protagonist of the counterinsurgency, can only be marginalized into a supporting role in the script for political needs. Of course, in order to keep him shut up obediently and cooperate with the government officials' momentum and performance, the transfer of interests is inevitable.
One by one, one by one
Space City, Lydiwell Hotel.
A slender blonde young man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his head bowed, looking down at the panoramic view of the space city.
He was dressed in a neat and delicate black uniform, and held a metal cane with intricately carved inscriptions in one hand, looking gorgeous and delicate without losing his heroic spirit.
After hearing the sound of steady footsteps and walking into the door, a blue data stream flashed in the young official's eyes, and then he turned around calmly and handed his right hand to Evan. Fingers clenched, slender joints, and spotless white gloves:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty Evan. β
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Commissioner. β
Seeing that he was wearing gloves, Evan immediately raised his eyebrows, said a compliment, and stood in place with a straight body, refusing to stretch out his hand.
"I'm Danny, the Archon's commissioner, and I've come all the way for your business. β
The young officer withdrew his hand after catching the traces, then walked behind the desk to the side, sat down in a leather chair, and motioned for him to sit opposite him.
Evan sat down on the space chair in front of him, leaned back on the back of the chair, and while the other party looked at him, he also looked at him carefully with a pair of dark eyes - there was no domineering aura, nor was he deliberately approachable, only a kind of solemnity that belonged to the superior.
Outwardly, this kind of person should be the business-like type and belong to the best negotiation partners.
"Your Majesty Evan, Your Excellency the Consul is well aware of your contribution to the Federation, and is aware that the Mission has overlooked some of the facts in dealing with the issue. And I, who have come to compensate you, can give you enough in return if you obey the will of the consuls. β
Danny sat down in front of him with his arms flat on the table, in an impeccable position, and said straight to the point.
"What can you give me?" Ivan tilted his head slightly, continuing to observe the other party's ecology.
"Gold, women, a high-performance battle mech, or whatever you want. To you, the Archon is the goblin who makes a wish, and he can grant any of your wishes. β
When the commissioner said this, he leaned forward slightly and leaned closer to him, his voice becoming cold and gloomy due to the deliberate suppression: "But one thing you have to remember is that people who are too greedy will not end well, and goblins can fulfill all your desires, but they can also make you destitute." β
"I understand what Your Excellency means, and my request is simple, let the Hyperion Development Consortium leave my hometown. Faced with this situation, of course, Ivan would not be ignorant, and immediately seized this golden opportunity and put forward a request that he thought about day and night.
β......β
The commissioner was silent and did not speak, but stared at him with a pair of deep blue eyes, the gaze of which seemed to bring some kind of pressure, and the atmosphere of the room instantly became oppressive. When a trace of data flashed in the depths of his pupils, and after gently bowing his head, the low air pressure that seemed to be like substance suddenly dissipated:
"In exchange for the disappearance of the Hebolion Development Consortium, and in exchange for your cooperation with Mr. Domon's performance, the deal is established!"
After saying this, the Archon's agent asked Ivan to recuse himself for three minutes.
What he did in the past three minutes, Evan didn't know, only that when he returned to the office, he was invited to watch a holographic news flash - all the funds of the Hebleon Development Consortium were frozen, all the development projects were terminated, the stock value was stopped, and then bankruptcy protection was declared within a few minutes.
"I have granted your wish. β
The correspondent then turned off the news flash, got up from his seat, and assumed a hurried attitude:
"The Hybolum Development Consortium has gone bankrupt and its colonial license has been revoked, and those who remain on Hyperion will not be protected by federal law. The only thing they can do now is to sell all their surplus weapons and equipment at a low price, and make the last money to return to the federal territory to consider reemployment. Now it's your turn to show sincerity and you know what to do. β
"I will fully cooperate. "Ina's heart understands.
"Very well, please come back. Immediately after the deal was completed, Danny ordered the eviction.
One by one, one by one
Bidding farewell to Commissioner Danny, when he left the Lydwell Hotel, Evan had a feeling of stepping on cotton and being in a dreamβit was a surprise that something he thought would be solved by fighting a war was done so easily.
But it's nothing if you think about it.
Those in the Hyperion Development Consortium are, at best, mercenaries and thugs, not real federal troops. Moreover, the consortium is just a small and medium-sized consortium that makes money from colonization, and it has nothing to do with the center of power, and the federal consuls are no different from crushing an ant to death.
After rejoicing and rejoicing, Evan was on his way back to the Shield of Innocence when he suddenly felt some sympathy for the Hybolen Development Foundation.
It is an indescribable irony that this opponent, who is absolutely invincible to the Menes Empire, should become a victim of the consul's exchange of benefits because of a performance in a general election.
After the irony, there is a more intense sense of crisis.
Although the Heblelun Development Consortium is finished, who can guarantee that there will not be a Menes Development Consortium or the Hebelent Reclamation Group in a few days? Moreover, the federal top management can sell the Hebleon Development Consortium in the blink of an eye, and they can also sell Menes without thinking.
In the final analysis, under the interstellar rules set by the Federation, one's own weakness is the original sin. I can destroy you whenever I want to, and there will be no organization like the United Nations here that jumps out to reconcile.

Ivan was piloting the flying machine, thinking about it, and suddenly felt like an electric shock. Then he parked the aircraft in a public parking space and immediately dialed the number of Bai Xiong and others:
"Hey, are you free now? I'll give you a sum of money, and you'll help me buy a bankrupt consortium called the Hebel Development Consortium. Well, it's the unlucky consortium that just went bankrupt, don't ask so much, I just want to buy it at any cost!"
