Chapter 150: Comprehensive Strategy (I)

The main signal tower of the H-Research Base is three hundred and twenty meters high, pointing like a straight spear into the pitch-black night sky with the star Barnard hanging high above.

At 320 meters, this is a height that even the alba wood with its incredible growth height cannot reach. On the planet Wendini, the height of Alba Mu is generally between 280 and 300 meters, so setting the height of the main signal tower for communication at 320 meters is just enough to pass the dense foliage of the forest and become the only commanding height within a radius of nearly 100 kilometers.

The forests on the planet Wendini would block communication, which the Federation people stationed here had known for a long time, but they didn't dig into what caused this situation.

The architects responsible for the construction of the various bases have only been able to avoid the high radiation of the planet Wendini and the interference of other signal sources by building the towers at a height of 300 meters, the only commanding height within a radius of 100 kilometers. As a result, all thirteen bases built on the planet Wendini are able to keep their communication channels open and have direct contact with the space station. At the same time, the radar system of the base can only be used at this altitude.

If the army in charge of garrisoning is the elite army of the Federation, then any army with a lot of field experience will immediately apply this construction process to the military field. But unfortunately, the army in charge of stationing here is not the Knights of Gemini, or even the regular corps of Othello, they are just third-rate troops drawn from several other planets in the Alpha Capital circle by the Morgan family.

For these rookie troops who lack training and have not experienced war, being stationed on Planet Wendini is undoubtedly no different from serving a prison sentence. Even after more than a year of being stationed on the planet Wendini, the vast majority of soldiers still have not participated in field exploration missions, or even set foot in the base where they are stationed. Therefore, it is reasonable that it will collapse at the touch of a button after encountering the emperor's lightning counterattack.

And now, when Robin took over the H-Research Base and became the top commander of the base, he immediately sensed the enormous role that the base's information superiority could play in the war. If he can get the command of the space station, Robin is even confident that he can completely annihilate this knight order of the Hoffman Empire with a small number of troops. So, Lucia and his cousin Bivis? Whether the dialogue between DuPont can make substantial progress becomes even more important.

……

Wendini Planetary Space Transit Station.

At present, the space station resembling a duck's egg is close to saturation of the population, and as a large number of mercenaries arrive and enter the battlefield of the planet Wendini, more and more requests for withdrawal and change of guard are beginning to be granted. In just one week, the Governor of Barnard was seated in Alvar? Morgan and garrison commander Antoine? Colonel Arthur had already signed a list of ten evacuees. With the exception of some of the garrisons that have not yet been officially evacuated, almost all the officials and valuable technicians have already left the land of Planet Wendini and moved into the space station. As a result, the space station's population has swelled dramatically, and the internal environment has also begun to become more complicated.

The Morgan family's governance model of the Barnard system is actually the main reason for this state of affairs.

The Morgan family opened the Barnard system in the hope of following the example of the Osvid family and establishing a kingdom that was privately owned by the Morgan family like Proxima Centauri. However, although the Morgan family is the richest family of the ten richest families in the Federation, it does not have the direct influence of the Oswald family on the military, and in terms of personal work style, the elder Morgan does not have the iron-fisted temperament of an industrialist like Osvid II. In the final analysis, the elder Morgan and his Morgan family are pure speculators, they are good at manipulating the economy, and they are good at using money to do everything, so after actually getting the planet Wendini, the unique interest concept of speculators makes the Morgan family almost instinctively use investment methods to run this autonomous region.

Just like the H-Research Base invested by the DuPont family, all the thirteen clusters currently built on the planet Wendini are invested and built by other chaebols in the Federation, and through this similar business model of attracting investment, Morgan Xun recovered a large amount of money, making up for the capital expenditure when he captured the Barnard system in one fell swoop. In the entire galaxy, the only industry belonging to the Morgan family is the Wendini planetary space station, using the performance of this space station to transfer materials, the Morgan family levies high taxes and material delivery fees on the space station. With this space station alone, the Morgan family would be able to pay the large taxes to the federal Congress for the establishment of the autonomous region. Therefore, the Morgan family did not actually build the Barnard system according to the original plan, but turned the system into a money-making machine, trying to exchange the minimum investment for the maximum return, which can be seen from the fact that the only industrial space station invested by the Morgan family is still detachable and mobile.

In terms of economic benefits and the ratio of income and expenditure, the Morgan family's management of the Barnard system is undoubtedly successful. Relying only on a space station and the sale of thirteen agglomeration sites for 50 years, the Morgan family has recouped all of its initial investment, and even made a profit. If the Barnard system can remain stable forever, then the rich biological resources and vast land area of Wendini will become the Morgan family's treasure island, so that the Morgan family will still have an inexhaustible wealth after a hundred years.

However, if we look away from the economic point of view and look at the problem from the perspective of a ruler, then the Morgan family's management of the Barnard system is undoubtedly a failure.

The Morgan family's controlling operation can ensure that the family can obtain huge profits in the future in a way that is close to zero investment, but in the early stage, the Morgan family lacks absolute authority and decisiveness because of a large amount of investment. As in the current situation, on the surface, the Morgan family occupies more than 99% of the land on the planet Wendini, and the family members are the consuls of the Barnard Autonomous Region, and the dominance represented by these numbers is even far greater than the dark rule of the Osvid family against the neighbor star field.

However, numbers are just numbers after all, they can only represent the future, but not the present.

In the current major projects on the planet Wendini, almost all the projects are being substantially opened by the major chaebols in the Federation, plus the promises made by the Morgan family when they attracted investment in the early stage, including wealthy families like the Dupont family, all the chaebols who have obtained projects through bidding have the qualifications of members of the Barnard Autonomous Region Council.

In peacetime, such a business would be no problem, but after the Planet Wendini suffered a large-scale counterattack by the Emperor, these chaebols suffered huge economic losses, but the Morgan family, which controls the space station, did not suffer any economic losses because they did not have a land project. Thus, in recent parliamentary discussions, the Governor of the Autonomous Region, Alva? Morgan has faced strong condemnation from lawmakers almost every time. In the current situation of the major chaebols, the Morgan family has been isolated and has invisibly lost the supreme voice in the autonomous region.

For example, the recently signed list of a large number of equipment and personnel to evacuate, Alva? Morgan wasn't unaware of the consequences of doing so, but in the face of the strong condemnation of the legislators, Alva? Morgan had to choose a compromise. In the dark, he asked Bivis, who was also a member of the Wealthy Alliance, several times? DuPont turned to the aid of this powerful ally. However, family alliances do not mean that family members also need to form alliances with each other. In the general direction, the two families can agree on a certain goal, but for the family members who are in charge of a certain project, the big goal will naturally be the responsibility of the family power holder, who only needs to be responsible for the self-...
