Chapter 649 How Did It Become a Military-Industrial Complex?

What Agnes said was very reasonable, but even though she said that, when it was actually done, it was not that simple.

The team of more than ten ancient Meiya people here have all participated in the God of War Festival, and three of them are psykers. Within the scope of the Milky Way, they can be considered a small but capable fighting team. Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of job opportunities.

But we also know that the empire is a country with a very strict bureaucracy and centralized management, and the control over adventurers and mercenaries is also very strict. Small armed groups that can move relatively freely within the empire basically have official or noble backgrounds.

As for Agnes and the others, not to mention weapons licenses, even registering a mercenary group had to go through twenty procedures and travel to seven or eight space cities.

Fortunately, just when they were at their wits' end, they happened to see Mr. Karnovich's recruitment advertisement posted on the mercenary union network, and then met Mr. Ginsu during the interview.

Ever since, such a temporary team composed of humans, Terrabis and Ancient Meians was established. Everyone started their own journey to the stars and the sea with high spirits... Then, as they left the empire's borders, they were blocked on the Luyuan planet on the border, and a whole planet was already blocked.

"So, what are you..." Yu Lian asked curiously.

Uncle Maozi and Uncle Maoren looked at each other and seemed to be organizing their words, but there was obvious shrinkage on girl Gumeiya's face. She rubbed her hands in embarrassment and said cautiously: "Well, uh, captain, if you can, we, you..."

Feifei kicked Agnes calmly, and the latter hurriedly said: "Can you borrow money..."

Before she finished speaking, she was kicked again and quickly changed her words: "Are you willing to invest some money in us?"

Yu Lian's first reaction was that you girl looked so stupid and stupid, but she didn't expect you to be quite vicious. You actually want to harm me. No matter how you say it, I, Yu Lian, am a professional military officer of the community, earning a national salary. According to the laws of the community, active military officers cannot hold part-time jobs, let alone serve as legal persons or shareholders of any enterprise.

What, you mean Red Star Design Institute? I’ve said it many times! That's the property of my friends. I just go there occasionally to be a guest and give some advice and chat.

However, Miss Agnes has not been able to read the air since the God of War Festival. She didn't seem to notice Yu Lian's troubled expression at all, and began to explain seriously that she was an ancient Meiya, so it was definitely impossible to establish a legal mercenary group and adventure group. But if you go to the alliance, you can't afford the alliance citizenship and registration fees alone. But at this time, Uncle Karnovich's North Wind God was refreshing to her, and she immediately opened the door to a new world.

"As I said before, there should be no job in the world that is more profitable and more rewarding than developing a company, and it also allows people to grow more."

"So you also want to set up a planet development company?" Yu Lianqi asked. This is not as sensitive as a mercenary group or an adventure group, but the registration standards are still quite high. At least the legal person of the company is required to have certain qualifications and professional background.

"...Have you ever gone to college?" Yu Lian couldn't help but ask.

"I have studied it! What do you think I am? I studied planning at the Far Star Academy of Fine Arts."

"Oh, a junior college! And it's also in art..."

Agnes was so depressed that she didn't want to speak anymore. She was obviously severely shocked, but she couldn't even find a word to refute.

At this time, Mr. Karnovich smiled and said: "Actually, Miss Agnes and Mr. Ginsu have officially joined the team, and we will work together to build the God of the North Wind."

Yu Lian thought to himself that this was indeed a path he had never imagined.

Mr. Karnovich is a well-known former mercenary. Although he is not a psychic, he is courageous, resourceful, experienced in combat, and has developed the "Holy Land Planet". Naturally, he can be regarded as a mercenary on the road. Number one.

However, there are indeed only three people in his company. Originally, I just wanted to do some small support jobs and slowly accumulate experience, step by step, recruit talents, and expand the scale of operations. He is almost fifty years old this year. If he can develop the company into a well-known medium-sized company before retiring, he will be very satisfied.

But he is not humble. A newly established leather goods company has even considered participating in the God of War Festival to advertise the company. Why did he take over the big business of hosting the development of the planet?

But since Colonel Yu Lian, Mr. Qi, and even the New China Sector Government admired him so much, of course he had to bite the bullet.

Fortunately, he felt that he might have been favored by the spirit of the universe. Just when he was happily worrying about this sudden big business, Agnes and Ginsu came to his door.

Isn't this uncle worried about being ignored?

"I'm not a big shot. My only advantage is that I have traveled to more than two hundred newly developed planets in my life, and I have even gone deep into the Holy Land. I am not bragging, but in terms of my ability to develop planets, I can definitely rank first in the industry. The top twenty." Uncle Maozi said with a smile: "What if a leather bag company with only three people is sidelined? If they are really unreliable, the worst they can do is just run away."

Having said this, a look of pride flashed across Uncle Maozi's face. It seems that even if a hundred people come to the company, as long as he is still doing pioneering work, he will still be the boss.

Yu Lian smiled: "This girl is young and stubborn, so it's understandable that she wants to look around. So, Mr. Ginsu, what about you?"

"I am sixty years old." The veteran Terrabi adventurer showed a smile that has seen many vicissitudes of life: "I have to think about the future for future generations."

Yu Lian looked at them carefully, then looked at Feifei who was still drinking tea, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Okay! What kind of investment method..."

"We are about to run out of food." Agnes said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Mr. Kainovich coughed loudly, and then said: "Since everyone is a team, professional equipment and equipment need to be purchased. However, we do not have so much cash."

"Yes, this guy has the most people, but he is still a poor guy." Yu Lian smiled and said, "But you can find a bank."

"I don't know anyone from the bank, and I guess it's unlikely that the Empire's bank will give me money. As for the Alliance... I always feel that if I accept their money, I might be sold to the Krabner Ship one day. ." Agnes sighed: "I don't know many rich people, and the only one I can trust is you. Hey, look at the connections of our ancient Meiya people, it's really sad!"

Yu Lian felt inexplicably moved for a moment. Of course, as a professional soldier of the community, he cannot make commercial investments casually, let alone a business like Planet Development Company that has some dealings with the military. So, although he was very moved, he could only reject the other party flatly.

Fortunately, the considerate Feifei quickly called Liuli and Zhixia to discuss various matters. As a result, the Red Star Office will inject 100 million Xinxing and control 30% of the shares of the God of the North Wind.

It stands to reason that a leather bag company with only three people is definitely not worth so much money. However, a team of more than twenty people, including senior adventurers and seven or eight psykers, is definitely worth the money.

More importantly, everyone felt that they had taken advantage of it, and they talked happily about what happened next.

Agnes sighed with satisfaction, saying that she could finally take Regina and the others to eat meat. They have been stranded on Luyuan Planet for a week and are really running out of food.

Yu Lian now knew why Agnes came to him to beg for food.

"What does it mean to beg for food?" the Gumeiya girl said angrily: "If I go to the Alliance and the Empire to ask for help, then I am really begging for food on my knees."

"what about me?"

"Of course I'm here to work for you. Please take good care of me from now on, boss." Agnes seemed to want to put a sweet smile on her face to address her boss, but unfortunately she was not used to it. Compared to humans, the nose, which looks a bit square and three-dimensional, is slightly twitched, giving it an inexplicable sense of sharpness like that of a big cat predator.

Feifei held the tea cup again and started drinking.

"I'm not the boss. Again, I'm just a consultant to Red Star Firm, and we only help without any funding!"

Everyone immediately showed a clear understanding. Yu Lian could only pretend that he didn't see it.

But then again, Red Star Institute clearly stated that it was a design office, but its subordinates already controlled a considerable number of shares in the metallurgical, energy and weapons manufacturing industries, and now also invested in paramilitary organizations. Duoduo already has the prototype of a military-industrial complex. Yu Lian always felt that this setting was slightly familiar, and if it continued to grow, it would be impossible to hide it.

Ever since, after saying goodbye to everyone, Yu Lian expressed the above doubts to Feifei.

"Huh? So Yu'er is going to hide? Yu'er made friends with Mr. Qi, laid out the plans in the New China area, and formed an association of young officers with classmate Wein. Didn't he just want to help him on the battlefield? More people?”

Can you please stop making me look like a careerist who is afraid of growing up?

"However, with your current pace, it will indeed arouse the vigilance of many people. Yu'er has not noticed that all your positions are those where nobles can gain limelight and gain benefits, but they are not positions where they can lay a foundation. Is it an actual combat unit leadership position?”

Yu Lian thought to himself that I had discovered it a month earlier.

"However, no matter how we develop, our Red Star Institute is far less than the size of giants like Blue Label, let alone the super chaebols of the alliance and the royal enterprises of the empire. For the big shots in the community, you The win-win value far outweighs the hidden dangers. Therefore, at present, Yu'er will only rise step by step in the noble profession. When he reaches the rank of major general or above before the age of 30, he can naturally retire and join politics. With your current reputation, no matter what Whichever political party you join, you will definitely be the target of their strong support. Maybe this will help someone become the first lady before the age of 40."

At this point, Feifei even made herself amused: "Forget it, this title sounds a bit unlucky, let's discuss it later. In short, there is really no need to worry about the fish, just slow down a little and expand slowly. This way So as not to make the big shots in the country too nervous,"

Yu Lian knew that he really didn't need to worry. Judging from the current international situation, there should be still time, but it is not enough to develop slowly and step by step!

"Yes... So my idea is to wait until Mr. Qi officially runs for election to establish a new party. We will summarize the shares we control, set up an asset management company, affiliated to the new party, and treat it as party assets. ?”

Well, let’s call this asset management company X Run! Look how clever I am.

Feifei was slightly startled, blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes, her expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she was happy and pitiful: "Yu'er has really grown up! He has become a very mature, cunning and philistine adult!" "

"Everyone knows that although Wein and the others are active military personnel, sooner or later they will retire and enter politics, and they will most likely join this new party. If it really becomes a so-called party Isn't it equivalent to sharing these benefits with everyone? The Venn family, the Rozer family, the Kent family, these famous families that have a history of hundreds of years, have all become your small interest groups!"

"Hehehe, Yu'er, this kind of wrist that is wetted by rain and dew can be considered an emperor's method."

Yu Lian was completely confused by Feifei. He felt that he really had a public heart, but before he could tell, Feifei said: "This operation is very beautiful, but there are still a lot of cutscenes to go through. Just leave Yu'er alone. Yes, I will let Zhixia and Liuli handle it."

Yu Lian wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, no normal words came out. After a long while, he said helplessly: "Tell me, Feifei, how come I, an ordinary active-duty officer with a clean sleeve, managed to inexplicably create a military-industrial complex?"

Now that even paramilitary organizations have taken shares, the next step should be mercenaries and security companies. Well, you can ask the senior sister if any directors of Baiyi Angelo Company want to withdraw their shares.

Feifei chuckled, looking as if she was impressed by Yu Lian's shamelessness, but she still patiently explained: "Yagnis and the others do have the intention to join the God of the North Wind and build the company, but this should be done. It was something that happened after the empire made this order. They originally planned to enter the New World through the Dragon Throat Star Gate in the Black Gate Star District next to it. But they never expected that they would stay here for such a long time? Agnes They spent all their living expenses, and happened to hear that you were in Luyuan Planet, so they had to come to you for help. She didn't look for anyone but came to you, which shows that she trusts you."

It's understandable, after all, they are comrades who have carried guns together.

"Miss Agnes's purpose should be relatively simple. However, Mr. Ginsu is not sure."

"He is General Azisha Mallowan's former adventure companion. He is a well-known archaeologist and treasure hunter in the industry... Of course, his reputation among the Terrabi people is very high." Yu Lian smiled.

Not only did he have a high reputation, but his sons and grandsons were also the leaders of the later Terabi independence movement. Of course, his son is still working as a social animal in the league for 996, and his grandchildren have just been born.

"Mr. Ginsu must have seen some possibilities in you. So I hope I can make friends with you and leave a way." The girl paused for a moment, and then said: "Yu'er, unknowingly, you It’s already the hope of many people. Do you feel any pressure?”

"Then I just took a step towards success. When everyone no longer places their hope on me, but on themselves, then it will be considered a real success." Yu Lian was noncommittal, and then directly changed the topic: "Dragon Maw Star The door was sealed? When? Why? Is it because of the glorious mission?"
