After taking the second line of defense, Luo Sheng released the civilians of the other administrative stars who had been enslaved by the Valan Empire, joined the bereavement and offered two options. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first option is naturally to give a small monetary subsidy, allowing him to leave the Valan Empire and find another way, and the second option is to stay in the second line of defense of the Valan Empire, swear allegiance to Luo Sheng, and become the new citizen of the Central Axis Star Territory.

Most of the people of the Second Line of Defense chose the same as the people of the First Line, and they all chose to stay, and became the new citizens of the Central Axis Territory with honor.

And it was from this time that the sphere of influence of the Central Axis Star expanded from the earliest triangular star field to include the Iga Empire star field, and then to the current half of the Valan Empire star field.

The total territory area of these three parts combined has exceeded the current territory area of the Valan Empire, and it has become the largest sphere of influence in the Human Federation!

After winning the second line of defense, Luo Sheng was still not in a hurry to be greedy for merit, but continued to consolidate and cultivate, and the general headquarters also moved from the first line of defense to the second line of defense.

At this moment, Wang Manhe hurriedly rushed over from the central axis star and directly broke into Luo Sheng's general command room.

Luo Sheng was holding a battle deployment meeting, and the participants included senior commanders such as Captain Wind, Captain Shui Lan, Prince Gattuso and Han Yi, Luo Sheng didn't expect Wang Manhe to come in person, and he was immediately stunned.

"What's wrong, Manho?"

Wang Manhe said with a serious face: "It just so happens that everyone is here, and there is something I want to bring to the table for formal discussion." ”

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "What is so important, you have to run it yourself, can't you talk about it through holographic communication?" ”

"Can't!" Wang Manhe said categorically: "This matter is very important, and I must be present in person." ”

Luo Sheng shrugged helplessly, "Okay, the battle analysis meeting is almost over, if there is anything that needs to be brought to the table to discuss, you can just say it." ”

Wang Manhe asked unceremoniously: "Luo Sheng, do you know what our current financial income is?" ”

Luo Sheng thought for a while and said apologetically: "This ...... I don't know yet. What's wrong, we're having financial problems again? Is it because I am giving out too many benefits, which is causing a financial deficit? In that case, we'll tighten our belts and be patient, and I'll find new sources of income. ”

Captain Storm immediately said, "I still have some valuable but impractical things in my hands that I can donate." ”

Prince Gattuso also said: "Although I am now a prince with no real power, with my reputation as one of the four heroes of the starry sky, I can still borrow a lot from the big chaebol for a mortgage." ”

Other participants also expressed their generosity in getting through the difficult times.

Wang Manhe glanced at these people one by one, "You guys, you know about war every day, and you don't know anything about the economy?" Prince Gattuso, are you embarrassed to say that you went to the big chaebol for a mortgage? Do you know who the biggest lender is right now? ”

"This ......" Gattuso was as embarrassed as a schoolboy who couldn't answer a question.

"Now the biggest lender is my mother's loan company, and apart from my mother's loan company, there is hardly a big chaebol who dares to lend. Eighty percent of the assets of my mother's loan company belong to Luo Sheng, which is also an investment I started in the early stage. Wang Manhe said proudly.

Luo Sheng blinked in confusion, "Uh...... Manhe, you mean, we're not short of money right now? ”

"Lack of money?" Wang Manhe said angrily: "As your financial officer, I can still make you lack money, aren't you slapping me in the face?" ”

Luo Sheng laughed, "Looking at the menacing question in front of you, I thought the finances were tight!" Good! Since the finances are not tight, let's give another round of benefits to the people. ”

"You ......" Wang Manhe shook his head helplessly, "Okay, okay, you are our leader, you can be whatever you say." However, I am here today in person, not to tell you that we have a lot of money, nor to ask you to give money to the people, but to introduce you to our current situation. ”

"Well, I know, we're rich now." Luo Sheng nodded and said.

"It's not just money, we also have territory, we have powerful armaments." Wang Manhe said with a serious face: "The territory we occupy now is already the largest territory in the entire Human Federation, with sixteen fifth-level administrative stars, thirty-three fourth-level administrative stars, sixty-one third-level administrative stars, and two hundred and twenty-five second-level and first-level administrative stars. ”

"There are so many?" Luo Sheng also knew that his territory was huge, but he never realized that he already had so many planets in just a few months.

"Including our adjudicators, garrisons, as well as recruits and reserve forces that are being trained, we now have a total of fifty-three warbands, of which there are three warbands that have reached the level of Heavenly Mecha Knights, namely the warbands led by Captain Wind, the Guards warband led by Prince Gattuso, and the Golden Skull Warband led by Miss Hanyi. The average strength of the remaining warbands has also reached the level of mecha knights. ”

"Well, I know that." Luo Sheng nodded, and asked with a puzzled face: "Manhe, after all that, I still don't know what you're going to do." ”

Wang Manhe sighed angrily, "Luo Sheng, you're really angry with me!" Don't you understand such a large amount of data? Our power is already very big! ”

Luo Sheng blinked, "Well, it seems to be." ”

"You ......" Wang Manhe said helplessly: "So much money, such a big territory, such a strong war group - you are just a small earl, this is not a match at all!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood.

Indeed, Luo Sheng's territory and strength are enough to become a king, and the identity of an earl alone cannot match it at all.

The purpose of Wang Manhe's trip was also very simple, that is, to persuade Luo Sheng to build the country -- and only this kind of thing could allow a busy man like Wang Manhe, who managed the rear, to come in person.

Luo Sheng himself has never considered this problem, but as the stall gets bigger and bigger, this problem becomes more and more prominent.

Prince Gattuso was the first to stand up, "I'm afraid I have the most authority to take a stand on this matter." It is known that Luo Sheng was a native of the Saint-Teresan Empire, and at the same time a legitimate count who was canonized. According to the laws of the Human Federation, Luo Sheng, as a nobleman, can own and expand his own territory, and the land occupied by Luo Sheng is not the land of St. Derean, but the land of another country, so as the first heir of the St. Teresa Empire, I, Prince Gattuso, fully support Luo Sheng to build a brand new country! ”
