Chapter 115: Subversion
In just a few days, news of the establishment of an autonomous region on the Ultra Nebula had spread throughout Proxima Centauri, and the new Freemen Act had begun to be implemented. For a while, a large number of freedmen who stayed in the northern star field were forced to leave their homes like driven refugees, forming a huge migration procession, flocking to the 'chaotic capital' of the free people region in the Ultra Nebula.
At the same time, some rumors about Robin began to circulate in the upper class of Proxima Centauri, and immediately caused a huge sensation.
One of the most striking is undoubtedly Robin's sweeping and huge procurement plan.
A one-time investment of nearly 1.5 billion yuan in large-scale procurement, including a variety of machinery, machine tools, scarce parts, ecological materials and rare raw materials in the procurement plan.
Take advantage of the rush to sell due to the pirate rage* that the merchant has hoarded a large amount of inventory. As Robin's business spokesperson, Nishizawa aggressively undercut prices, purchasing large quantities of supplies at prices almost below cost. Moreover, with the status of the executive of the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region, Robin no longer had to worry about the freedman's purchase restriction order, and began to openly transport the purchased materials to the 'chaotic capital'.
It is clear that Robin has learned from the defeat of Bloody Harry and intends to use his financial resources to build the 'City of Chaos' into a space city that can make millions of free people self-sufficient once and for all. Although many people are worried about Robin's approach, believing that after Robin completes this move, the Federation will lose control of the Ultra Nebula, but the purchase order of up to 1.5 billion still makes crazy businessmen red-eyed.
In this period of extremely depressed business environment, many enterprises and middlemen are facing the dilemma of lack of funds, for them, such an order is life-saving money. As for the worries of the politicians, they seem to them to be completely nonsense, they do not believe that a super-rich man like Robin would be willing to become the emperor of the soil in a barren land, in their eyes, Robin is willing to invest so much money purely to make more money, in order to be able to rise to the ranks of wealthy families in the future.
In addition, the discovery of the Mycenae metal mine on Bruno Planet revealed by the Federal Central Bank made Anse El, the invisible emperor of Othello, begin to reevaluate Robin's value.
The planet Bruno contains the metal of Mycenae, which was discovered as early as the time of Stanley Mining. However, due to the harsh living conditions of Bruno, Stanley Mining Company has been exploring Bruno for a year but has found nothing, which has led to doubts about whether McCenae metal really exists on Bruno Planet, and directly led to a significant reduction in the value of Bruno Planet Mining Rights. Now, however, Robin claims to have discovered a massive vein of Mycenae metal on the planet Bruno, and has presented a staggering amount of sample specimens. Relying on this specimen, as well as the relevant exploration evidence presented by Robin, the Federal Central Bank granted Robin a one-time mortgage of $987 million. This figure alone is enough to prove that Robin did indeed dig up a large-scale vein of McCenae metal.
In the current state of science and technology of the Federation, the position of McCenae metal is particularly important. It can be said that the reason why the Federation was able to lead the Republic in science and technology was that the unique biometal of Myceni metal played a crucial role in it. Especially in the military industry, the use of Mycenae metal is particularly extensive. In addition to the Type III armor, which was an era ahead of the Republic, the core parts of the Titan aircraft carrier, a billion-ton giant ship, were also made by adding Mycenae metal to smelt a new type of biological alloy.
Now, such an important resource is in the hands of Robin, which undoubtedly doubles Robin's value. Because this resource involves the Osveld family, the oligarchy of the military industry, Anse Air also had to readjust the cooperative relationship with Robin.
The Osveld family led by Ansel is a unique military industrial giant of the Federation, including the Titan aircraft carrier, the Apollo battleship, the F-V space shuttle, the Type III armor and other cutting-edge combat forces of the Federation Army, almost all of which come from the Osvid family's MK arsenal.
The MK Arsenal is headquartered on Othello, the home base of the Osvid family, but the widely used Myceni metal is not produced in Proxima Centauri. In the Federation, the largest source of Mycenae metal is the beta planet of the Alpha system, and all Mycenae metal used in the MK military factory is sourced there.
All along, the source of raw materials that controlled the Myceni metal was Federal President Dawson? Rex made a strategic plan against the Osvid family. Through the control of McCeni metal, Dawson? Rex indirectly controlled the production of cutting-edge weapons at the MK Arsenal, leaving the Osvid family with no room to train their own private armed forces on a large scale after providing orders from the military department.
And Ausvid II will desperately push for the first invasion of the solar system because of this pressure. He hopes to occupy the solar system and develop the Kuiper ring of the solar system, hoping to borrow a large number of space microorganisms found in Kuiper to solve the problem of the shortage of Myceni metal.
At the moment, the war to invade the solar system continues, and even if they can successfully conquer the solar system this time, it is impossible for the Osvid family to monopolize this birthplace of humanity. So compared to the time of Osvid II, Ansel is facing more pressure on resources now.
But that all changed as soon as Robin mined a large amount of the mycenae.
If Planet Bruno really contains a large amount of Mycenaean metal ore, then there is a proper solution to the biggest obstacle that has been restricting the Osvid family from achieving hegemony. However, the timing of the announcement of this news made Anse Air chagrin.
If he had known about this sooner, Anse Air would not have given Robin the title of Executive of the Autonomous Region in any case, let alone made him an honorary citizen with special contributions to the front of the council to promote the victory. He will do everything he can to get rid of Robin and obtain the mining rights of Bruno Planet by all means.
But now, Robin's appointment as the executive of the autonomous region has been officially announced, and even Speaker Bob has publicly commended Robin for his special contributions. Everything is irreparable, and if Anse Air does it against Robin again at this time, then public opinion will immediately lash out at Anse Air, believing that Anse Air is jealous that Robin has taken away the heroic halo on his head, so he carried out a retaliatory strike.
The Federation is a democracy, and even an invisible emperor like Ansel cannot escape the shackles of public opinion. Only those who control public opinion can obtain real rights, which has always been the most critical element in the game of giants, so Anse Elle, who has just gained the support of public opinion, must not discredit his glorious image.
"Did this guy plan it a long time ago? Before he came to meet me, he had prepared a way back for himself, the cunning pariah," Ansel kicked over the desk in front of him. He felt that he had been fooled, and that all his plans had to be overturned by this sudden turn of events.
Actually, it was Anse Air who overestimated Robin. On the way to the executive council, Robin was only entangled in a shortage of funds, so he temporarily asked Nishizawa to use the McCeni metal mine as a bargaining chip to raise a loan from the Federal Bank. Robin's original plan had been to secretly hide all the Mycenae metal excavated from Bruno's planet, and he had no idea how important the Mycenae metal was to the Osvid family, nor did he realize that the exposure of this information would change his actual position in Proxima Centauri.
And it is precisely at this time that ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
