Chapter 414: Bad News Comes
Kang Hongyuan said such a thing, Zhao Li was not surprised at all, Ban Yunchan had already told Zhao Li that as long as Zhao Li developed step by step, the position of the headquarters would never lack him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lao Kang, among these benefits, I haven't heard of the benefits for you!" Zhao Li knows very well what kind of person Kang Hongyuan is, it is complicated, it is complicated, but it is simple, but it is also very simple, it cannot be said that everything is based on interests, but it is always good to ask about interests first when encountering things.
"Does that need to be said?" Kang Hongyuan replied with a smile: "You have a benefit, will I be empty-handed?" ”
Now Zhao Li and Kang Hongyuan are already in a relationship of both prosperity and loss, and these don't need to be so clear at all. Without a strong backer, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the political arena by relying on political skills alone. And this backer, one is Zhao Li's powerful military group, and the other is Ban Yunchan's more powerful economic group. Relatively speaking, Kang Hongyuan's foundation is the thinnest, but in terms of political prestige, Kang Hongyuan is the strongest, and the three complement each other, but they are the key iron triangle that can ensure the interests of this small collective.
According to Kang Hongyuan's analysis, Zhao Li did not make any changes, except for the release of a first-level war mobilization for his military region, there was no other action. Every day is either at the headquarters or on the side of the old warden.
"Boy, don't go busy with your military affairs, what are you doing dangling in front of my eyes all day?" The old prison warden likes Ban Yunchan's filial piety very much, and his daily life is very comfortable, and he doesn't care about one more Zhao Li, anyway, there is one more person to enjoy with him. However, this is not a good time!
"Everything that needs to be done has been done, and what special military affairs are there?" Zhao Li shook his head, took a sip with the old prison warden, and also followed the old chief's example, and raised his legs high on the table, which was very comfortable.
"Now that it's going up and down, you don't have anything else to think about?" The old prison warden glanced at Zhao Li and asked seemingly casually.
"Everyone has their own plans, and no one is willing to take the initiative to jump out, what else can I think?" Zhao Li said his original intention, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
"With your current resources, even if you declare independence, it is estimated that no one will dare to face you directly in the White Bird Military Region, right?" The old warden smiled and asked. He is telling the truth, Zhao Li's current resources and there are still two masters who can fake the tiger, as the old prison warden said, even if he is independent, no one will choose him as an opponent at the first time.
"That's what I said, but it doesn't make much sense." Zhao Li also admitted that he had such strength, but the old prison warden asked this, it was by no means untargeted, and when he answered, Zhao Li did not hide it, what he thought was what he said.
"I don't know how many people break their heads and want to make a name for themselves, but you actually say it's boring!" The old warden didn't know whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with Zhao Li's seemingly desireless performance, or if he was the principal, he should appreciate it very much!
"It's really boring!" Zhao Li hadn't had much interest in these things since Ban Yunchan had analyzed his psychology for him last time. Anyway, now that he only needs to work on his qualifications, he can get everything those people want, so why take a huge risk to speculate? People with more qualifications than him can't survive him, and those who can survive him don't have his qualifications, it's as simple as that.
"Don't care what our old guys think." The old warden may have misunderstood Zhao Li's meaning, but he exposed his bottom to him first: "I don't have any obligations to the Federation, and neither does that old guy, what do you want to do, just do it." ”
This sentence is a manifestation of Zhao Li's unusually reassuring performance, and it also shows the old prison warden's current attitude towards the current situation. He thoroughly wanted to retire.
Although the old prison warden has clearly stated his attitude, Zhao Li still has the virtue of not being impatient. The current situation cannot be solved by him alone, he just needs to obey the orders from above.
The normal status quo of the White Bird Military Region has reassured the high command that with Commander Wang Yao and Commander Li Liqing in charge, at least the remaining federal military districts are very stable and are preparing for war in an orderly manner.
The head of the federal government, the current ruling party leader, ultimately did not have the courage to declare war on more than a dozen planets at once. Not to mention that the families of those warriors on more than a dozen planets are distributed throughout the Federation, and once there is a war, how much public opinion will be counterattacked, the resources required for the war alone are enough to put the federal government on a huge deficit.
Whether or not to go to war with an independent planet is left to the council to vote. War is a matter for all people, and decisions cannot be made lightly by the will of the head of government alone. This is an attitude of responsibility to the people, at least that's what the propaganda says.
In the eyes of many opposition parties, the performance of the ruling party is very unbearable, and they have seen hope one after another, and they have begun to jump up and down in the parliament, form alliances and dismantle the stage, and do everything they can.
The response of the federal government has been met with disappointment by the media on all sides. Many people demanded that the war be ordered immediately and that the war criminals who undermined the unity of the Union be crushed. However, another group of people with family members serving in the military did not think so, and demanded that the Federation and those independent planets sit down at the negotiating table and settle the dispute peacefully.
The latter's request was supported by those who had suffered so much in the last war of independence, and the opinions of both sides were evenly divided, and neither could convince anyone.
The will of the people is like this, and in parliament it is equally divided. Even among some people who represent the interests of major conglomerates, there are disputes. In this world, there has never been a united mind.
Time was spent in this endless squabble, the military waited for the government's response, but missed the best opportunity to attack, and soon, more than a dozen planets began to communicate with each other, looking for a direction to cooperate, forming several different alliances. Of course, there is also a hostile relationship between them.
Fortunately, the fighters' emotions were soothed. The warriors, especially those whose homes are on the planet that has become independent, are extremely excited when they hear that the planet where their home is located has declared independence. Fortunately, the life of the army is very orderly, and it also restricts many people who are out of control.
Within the federation, a great reshuffle of power began, with the ruling party incompetent and the opposition parties operating everywhere. Within the armed forces, the power of a number of powerful groups has been further consolidated. For example, the clique commanded by Li Liqing, to which Zhao Li belonged, had already become the backbone of the largest and unbreakable federal army.
And another group of high-ranking officers who were implicated in the independence of some planet but did not make a mistake is a different story. The high command did not seem to be completely at ease with these people, but it did not dampen their enthusiasm either. However, in accordance with the usual practice in wartime, the logistics were all taken over by the high command, and the commanders of several military regions were still the commanders of military regions, but several people changed places with each other and served in other military regions.
In this way, these people, whose foundation has been disrupted, no longer have independent capital, and can only rely on a few of the largest groups to ensure their own interests.
Such an arrangement, although somewhat hurtful to the authority of some people, can ensure the stability of the remaining army of the entire Federation in a short period of time.
Although the Federation has not declared a state of war for a long time, those independent planets are not stupid enough to take the initiative to attack the Federation and act as a bird, and everyone will develop with their heads covered. To be honest, just rebuilding a complete financial system after independence is enough for these people to have a headache.
Fortunately, everyone was given enough respite, and when they were busy with the hidden dangers caused by hasty independence, they found that if they wanted to really develop, one planet alone was far from enough to meet the resource needs of the entire planet.
The edge planets are hot again, the black market trade is in full swing, and there are the previous examples of the independence army, and the controllers of these planets can't wait to bring a large number of planetary specialties to exchange what they need on the black market of the edge planets. In just a few months, the visible benefits of the edge planet have taken those accustomed to the high profits of the arms and drug trade by surprise.
Similarly, it seems that even Kang Hongyuan and Ban Yunchan did not expect that the Edge Planet would earn such a huge amount of income in this situation. Although they had been fully prepared before, they still felt a little incredulous when faced with the numbers that even they couldn't help but be surprised.
"So much?" Zhao Li's reaction was the same as that of Ban Yunchan Kang Hongyuan. However, he was not engaged in the economy after all, but he was surprised and quickly returned to normal: "If I had known, the White Bird Planet would have become a black market trade!" ”
This joking remark made Kang Hongyuan and Ban Yuchan cry and laugh, but it is always good to make money, anyway, even within the federation now, the finances of each planet are independent. Spend the money you earn yourself, as long as you pay enough for the federal government's taxes. But even so, the edge planet is still firmly on the throne of the highest-paying planet in the near future.
seems to be peaceful, Zhao Li and Kang Hongyuan have made a fortune calmly, but there is a huge undercurrent hidden. Either to get enough military supplies, or to expand the territory, or for personal feuds, a small friction began between the alliances formed by independent planets.
If you don't challenge the Federation, don't you dare to challenge a planet weaker than yourself? Small frictions quickly escalated into local conflicts, which then turned into large-scale declarations of war. Except for the original Chen Yong Independent Army, all the other independent planets were involved in the war. Chen Yong's power is too great, even if those people are in the alliance, they don't dare to touch Chen Yong's moldy head, that is a troublesome person who even the entire federation has a headache.
The planet may be quite normal, but the firefights in outer space are already a bit crazy. When the independent planet suddenly became chaotic, the ruling party of the Union began to jump out again.
With some far-sighted arguments, it seems that they had expected that the independent guys would soon kill each other, so they did not involve the Federation in the war.
Although this statement seems a bit shameless, their previous approach has indeed achieved such an effect. The so-called constant response to change applies not only to Zhao Li, but also to the federal government.
Originally, these independent guys had their own thoughts, and it was normal for them to cause such a result. It's just that no one expected that they would be involved in the clouds of war as a whole, but the Federation, which should start the war the most, was sitting on the sidelines, and the development of world events was very unpredictable.
Such a development, while it may have been unintentional, was indeed the most favorable situation for the Federation. Now no one can say for sure whether the head of the Federation really foresaw such a situation or whether he had stumbled by mistake. However, in Zhao Li's view, it may be both. Zhao Li's ability as the head of the federation is not clear, but the two commanders, Wang Yao and Li Liqing, should not be so confused, right? Without the consent of the two of them, it seems impossible to make the army so stable.
Zhao Li had no intention of commenting on the government's performance, he just wanted to know what would happen to the warring planets in the future. Because for now, the war is still confined to space, but who knows what the next step will be?
While everyone was worried, the High Command made an astonishing decision that the Supreme Commander would inspect the major military districts in the near future.
This is a measure to calm the morale of the army and the people, but it is just right at this time. It happened that the battle was raging outside, and the Supreme Commander's inspection this time would definitely boost the morale of the army and the people.
The commander-in-chief gave a special notice not to give special receptions, and then embarked on the inspection trip. According to the plan, the commander will arrive at the White Bird Military Region in ten days to inspect, although it is not the first, but it is the planet where he has stayed the longest, which also gives Zhao Li enough face.
Zhao Li arranged the task of receiving the commander's inspection, and still stayed with the old prison warden to enjoy life. Martial arts have reached the point where they don't need to deliberately practice hard, live a quiet life, cultivate their minds, and maybe one day they will be able to break through again.
"General!" The communicator on the table suddenly appeared with the figure of Christine, and she looked very flustered in the command headquarters.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Li was very surprised, Christine never seemed to be so flustered.
"The fleet inspected by the commander was ambushed and attacked on the way, and the escort fleet was completely annihilated!" Kristine quickly reported to Zhao Li the bad news she had just gotten.
Click, the wine glass in Zhao Li's hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.
"When did it happen? Who did this to you? Zhao Li's eyes were already bursting with fire.
