Chapter 31: The Dark Tide

In October 2022, near the Guanghan Palace Hotel on the moon, a huge billboard lying on the ground appeared, showing the "Welcome to the Moon" promotional animation designed by the East Galaxy Company through the alternating changes of multi-color beams, as long as it is close to the lunar surface for dozens of kilometers, you can clearly see the content of the animation.

As for the people on the earth, they will not be able to see the contents of the billboards, but from today onwards, as long as it is not a full moon and the weather is clear and there are no clouds, they will see a little light point visible in the dark area of the moon, constantly reminding them that something exists.

"This is the creation of technology! The power of technology! The news media reported that "the East Galaxy Company has proved the greatness of mankind with their practical actions." ”

This is the only positive report of the East Galaxy Company, and the reason why the plan to put up a billboard on the surface of the moon was passed was precisely to declare their existence to mankind, and when they were looked down, they would realize their own insignificance and pursue the outside world, thus generating the will to join the East Galaxy Company.

Let's just be a propaganda measure, Cao Chuan didn't want them to be regarded as some kind of terrorist organization, intending to get involved with careerists all over the world, if he was really interested, he would have done so a long time ago.

However, it seems that there is still a long way to go to really achieve the goal, and the concept of human beings is not so easy to change, and when this day comes, it is estimated that the East Galaxy Company will replace the free lighthouse country and become the new lighthouse that everyone yearns for.

Now, he's dealing with some dissonances.

"In Victoria, one of the 13 nations of Europa, there were demonstrations of unemployed people protesting against the government's plans to shut down aging power plants and nuclear power plants en masse, demanding that the government pay for their future lives."

"The members of the Iron Cross, one of the 13 nations of Europa, have publicly stated that the East Galaxy Company is plundering the wealth that belongs to all mankind and should be combated."

"The government of Gaul, one of the 13 nations of Europa, has investigated a case of smuggling dangerous goods involving overweight elements that may have been used to make a nuclear bomb, and the goods were received by the East Galaxy Company."

……

If similar news often appeared at intervals in the past few months, which was not enough to arouse vigilance, now it seems to be a big explosion, and more than a dozen news related to the East Galaxy Company broke out in one day, all of which were negative, which had to make people wonder what forces were behind it.

A large number of employees of the East Galaxy Company came to the conference room to discuss what to do about the incident.

"The general losses are as follows..."

"The Iron Cross has frozen two of our bank accounts with 50 million in them."

"A batch of super-heavy element materials imported from Gaul was confiscated, with a value of 30 million, which will slightly affect the production later."

"There were 11 guests who cancelled their space sightseeing plans at short notice, but fortunately, the money has been collected."

"There is an employee of the trade department who has been summoned for questioning by the Iron Cross Police, and his life is not in danger for the time being..."

……

"The total loss is 150 million."

"It doesn't seem like much, and there are no casualties, so what do you think should be done?" After listening to the report, Cao Chuan said: "It's a big deal that there is no intersection with these countries, no one will be beaten and not retaliate, we are not a virgin." ”

"When it comes to specific countermeasures, the board of directors has a lot of solutions, such as growing mushrooms directly, and we have enough raw materials to plow these countries from head to toe; There are also space-based weapons, which are also good, and the moon-based spacecraft will be transformed to launch lasers to scare people and make them hand over the money; Unmanned aircraft can also rely on the moon-class spacecraft as the mothership, releasing a bunch of unmanned self-detonating aircraft, which is enough to exhaust the opponent. ”

"The only thing that is somewhat dangerous is the enemy's intercontinental missiles, but, at most, it will hit orbital space, and we will be ready to keep an eye on the missile launch bases of several rogue rogues."

Hearing that there were so many tricks to play, the employees present thought about it, and some simply said to themselves: "I really want to play with mushrooms, the earth has not officially grown mushrooms for almost 70 years." ”

Cao Chuan turned his head with a smile on his face and found that it was Xiao Guanhai: "You're not worried about triggering a world war?" ”

Xiao Guanhai was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, isn't this the plan you proposed?

"Also, how many people, what do you think?"

Among the dozens of employees present, several of them are from the countries concerned, and it stands to reason that they will be more or less resistant, but because they are not fools, they can see that their country is being used as a pawn, so they will make such idiotic behavior, but they will not feel resistant, but feel sad and feel that they should do something.

"My words..."Renault said slowly, "I believe that a small deterrent is enough to shut up the idiots in the country." Also, I don't expect violence, let alone harm people who are not involved or who are blinded, unless they act first. ”

Another employee said: "I have the same idea, don't be too impatient, anyway, we have the initiative, and the other party can't make any small moves." ”

Hearing Renault's idea, there were people who supported it, which greatly disappointed Xiao Guanhai, who conquered the earth by force, and an excellent reason to interfere with the earth by force was so wasted.

Even Cao Chuan is actually interested in conquest by force, isn't it a good thing to directly reunify? But he is not so frustrated, and if he is reunified all of a sudden, there will be no more competitors in a short period of time, and he will have to drag the big burden of the entire earth, which will overwhelm them.

Cao Chuan finally concluded: "We don't do the first to do it, what do you think? ”

"Yes."

"Yes!"

"Support !!"

The basic strategy is to decide that the enemy will not move, I will not move, a tooth for a tooth, and blood for a blood, although it is a rather old-fashioned strategy, so it has won the support of the majority of the people.

Below they discuss what to do next.

The first is to investigate the parties involved, find out how to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, and find the culprit if there is a chance, so as to achieve an advantage in intelligence.

The second is the establishment of a temporary combat team, which will draw manpower from various departments, and will allocate a month-by-month spacecraft for the implementation of the combat plan.

As for himself, Cao Chuan thought that he would finally be able to simulate the rules of space weapons in a justifiable manner, and wait until the joint research department came up with a prototype, and then hand it over to the temporary combat team for experiments, which would allow these weapons to be quickly verified and provide lessons for the later formation of a real combat department.
