Chapter 207: Another Force

While Xia Lian was thinking, some family members who were waiting at the door came over and knelt directly in front of Xia Lian, shouting excitedly.

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness!"

"The Paneks will always remember your kindness."

"You saved our family."

There was another commotion in the corridor, and more people were crying, but it was not a sad cry at the moment.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with meticulous hair walked over from one side, followed by a group of soldiers.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the middle-aged man looked at the soldier who was maintaining order on the other side, and the soldier truthfully reported what had just happened to the middle-aged man.

The man frowned slightly, he thought about it for a moment, but still stepped forward and showed a formulaic smile to Xia Lian.

"Hello sir, I'm one of the people in charge of this evacuation operation, you can call me Laike."

"You can call me Char." Xia Lian said.

"Mr. Xia." Rick laughed, "You shouldn't be a member of Dara's Buster or a family member, right?"

"I'm here to negotiate a business." Xia Lian smiled meaningfully, "After all, in this world now, having money is nothing, only if you have a gun in your hand, you can feel at ease."

The arms factories of the new federation can accept orders for capital, and even some large companies have their own private military personnel and military factories, which are even more advanced than the official fleets to some extent.

At the height of the empire's capital, the Old Federation even caused several local wars of considerable scale due to market competition between companies.

This kind of local war, for those civilizations that have not yet stepped out of the stars, is equivalent to a war of annihilation.

Although it is wartime, in theory, these factories should be fully committed to serving the government, but there are many unspoken rules of the new federation, as long as the money is enough, nothing is a problem.

Rick naturally understands the unspoken rules of this, so he is also interested in not asking in detail, which is an important reason why he can stand in this position today.

"That's an adventure, not a single ship." Rick laughed, "Almost, we're probably going to have to stay here."

"We have a spaceship, but my spaceship is civilian, and now that the whole galaxy is at war in this world, those pirates came when they smelled it, so it's safer to go back with the military starship." Xia Lian explained calmly.

"That's right." Rick nodded, "The troops of the New Federation are all on the front line to resist the Empire, and no one cares about these guys."

He sneered, "That lawless land exists because of the problem of national borders, and when the empire is really unified, it is estimated that the place will not exist.

At this time, they are still thinking about how to make money, a group of guys who can't get on the stage."

"There aren't many people in this world who have a long-term vision." Xia Lian said.

"That's what you said." Rick laughed.

"How are your rooms here?" Xia Lian

Rick thought for a moment and said, "We're counting the number of people, and the number of people on the boat is obviously more than we originally estimated, so there may be a lot of people on the floor."

….

After a pause, Rick stepped forward with two hands in his hands, and said in a flattering tone, "There are some rooms on the upper floor of the starship that are used to receive VIPs, but the price may be..."

"Pay me the list." Xia Lian said.

"Yes, yes." Rick seemed to be very happy, because the arrangement of the room was entirely up to him, so the money was naturally in his account.

He opened the payment code, and then Xia Lian raised his hand and swiped it gently, directly showing that the payment was successful.

"You're such a cheerful person." Rick laughed.

He looked at the soldier on one side.

"Brooke, take Mr. Xia to the top."

The soldier bowed his head at Laike, and then walked to Xia

In front of the company.

"Mr. Xia, follow me."

Then, Xia Lian took Jiang You and the three of them to the depths of the corridor.

Lai Ke and the entourage beside him quietly watched Xia Lian and the others leave.

"What a kind and kind gentleman."

There was a sigh of emotion from the soldier behind Laike.

"Kindness?" Rick's face was tinged with playfulness.

The soldier was a little puzzled, "Isn't it? Mr. Leke, he paid for the medical bills of all the people here and prevented these people from losing their loved ones."

Rick smiled and shook his head, "Do you know which company holds the most patents for artificial organs?"

The soldier shook his head, he never cared about that.

"Belongs to Jacques Biotech." "The price of one of the cheapest artificial kidneys is around a million, which is a price that people below the middle class would never have imagined in a lifetime.

But do you know how much this artificial kidney costs?"

Rick looked at the soldier with an inexplicable glimmer in his eyes.

"With current technology, the cost of such an artificial kidney can basically be pressed to 10,000 or even low."

"One.... A hundredfold?" The soldier's eyes widened slightly.

"Don't tell me, it's something that only a few people know." Rick laughed.

"But..." The soldier lowered his voice, "But doesn't the Market Price Bureau take care of it?"

"The federal military has reached an agreement with Jacques Biologics that Jacques Biologics will provide artificial organs at cost price without limit." Rick looked at the soldier, "It is precisely because the military has cheap artificial organs that many people are willing to join the federal army."

The soldier fell silent, and the chill in his heart lingered in his heart for a long time.

"They live on the very top, bathed in the blood of the people at the bottom, and enjoy all the good things in the world."

Rick looked at the soldier, and the sarcasm on his face intensified.

"But do you know who the biggest philanthropist of the New Federation is?"

The soldier didn't speak, he had already guessed what Rick was trying to say.

"They have money that they can't spend in this life, in the next life, or even for dozens of generations.

Without this pursuit, it is natural to pursue the rest of the things.... For example, use something that is most trivial to them to satisfy the hypocrisy in their hearts."

Rick scoffed.

"Dogs on the streets, whenever someone gives them a bone, they will wag their tails at people, and some people seem to like that.

….

These dogs never wonder why they wander the streets, they just think that the person in front of them will give them bones to eat, and they are good people."

The soldier was silent, just clenching his fists, but a sense of powerlessness permeated his heart.

Rick looked at the soldier and teased, "How is it, now, do you still think he is kind?"

He looked around at the family members waiting outside the emergency room, and whispered in a deep voice.

"I don't know about other places, but in the new federation.....

Not a single cent of the money in the hands of these rich men is clean."

"Lord Laike." The soldier whispered, "New Federation, is there any salvation?"

"Who knows, in this world, the vast majority of people are not even in control of their own destiny, let alone the destiny of their country.

And that "vast majority" includes precisely us."

"I've heard people say.... The Principality of Helios is free of charge for universal health care." The soldier said.

Rick smiled and shook his head, "If you want to expect the Empire to save the new Federation, you would be naïve.

The reason why this hereditary feudal system was eliminated naturally has its own reasons.

Absolute power, while possessing ultra-high efficiency, also represents an infinitely expanding desire.

You only see the powerful and rich Duchy of Helios left behind by the Duke of Chaso, but you don't see the people in those fringe planets who are oppressed and poisoned by the nobles of the empire.

The reason why the current empire remains so stable and strong is because the emperor is in control.

But even if this emperor can live until the destruction of mankind, who can guarantee that he can always maintain his true heart?

Now, it's the best proof of this.

This war, neither for the people of the new federation nor for the people of the empire, will be of no benefit.

But he still started the war for his own ambitions.

Don't think too much, Hall, and concentrate on fighting the Empire."

Rick muttered softly.

"Even if it's not for the sake of the high-flying capital and disgusting officials.

Fight for your family and for all that you hold dear in this country."

Hall bowed solemnly.

Rick whispered in a deep eye.

"If you want to change the world, there must be another force..."

From the words of the white life
