Chapter 092 Subside

"So you believe that this civil strife will not be as simple as it is now?"

"I hope it has always been as simple as it is now." Huo Xiu said, "But there are more and more signs that this time it won't be easy."

Eleanor did not know more than Ho Xiu, but after his analysis, she was a little convinced, and then she asked, "According to this statement, the economy has become one of the most important points. With the economy, you don't have to worry about military problems or science and technology..."

The more she thought about it, the more she discovered it.

"Who will be the few people who control the money of most people in the alliance?" Eleanor thought about it and stared at Huo Xiu all the time.

"Do you want to talk about the Huo family?"

Huo Xiu doesn't mind her look.

"Isn't that right?" Eleanor saw Huo Xiu's appearance and knew that he could continue on this topic appropriately. "Your Huo family has been booming for hundreds of years and focuses on the financial industry. If it comes to financial problems, I'm afraid that your every move will affect the economy of the alliance. And you once claimed to have billions of assets, but according to other people's speculation, a big family like you is not only trillions, but is estimated to be trillions. Once you defect to support other organizations, you can't imagine that the wealth of the country will directly create a developed society.

"Also, in addition to you, a financial giant, there are other families that are much weaker than you, but they are also enough to control the economy of several planets. Even the strange Brown family, with their strength, hardly need to buy any arms to start a war.

"And..."

"You seem to be too fascinated." Huo Xiu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, "Wake up, this is just a speculation. If you want to go independent, you need to do more than that. The operation process will make a group of people have a headache. Do you think a new country out of the alliance is built overnight?"

Eleanor also reacted that although the principle is simple, it is another matter if you want to implement it. She smiled shyly and said, "You brought this topic out by yourself. No wonder, the rich man."

"In a word, that's it. Just look at it normally." Huo Xiu began to turn around and walk back. "Speaking plainly, the planet united to swear allegiance to the alliance, but the real loyalty is nothing more than the economy and culture that the alliance can bring to them. Without the mode of foreign enemies, this alliance can never operate for a long time."

"Do you want to say that most people lose what is really worthy of his loyalty?" Eleanor kept up with Huo Xiu, "Is it necessary to develop into a constitutional monarchy like hundreds of years ago, and all the people must be loyal to the supreme god Engao the Great?"

"At least it will make most people's minds like a person - a person who can bring them peace and economy as long as they support it, rather than an increasingly ethereal alliance, which makes generations of young people think less about the country, or even less There are specific concepts."

"It shouldn't be easy." Eleanor said, "But thank you. After such a discussion with you, I feel much better. No matter what my family wants to do, maintain the alliance or leave the alliance, I will always insist on being a person who controls myself."

Huo Xiu smiled at her and said, "Who made you be my subordinate--"

Eleanor suddenly stepped forward, tiptoed, kissed him on the cheek, and then said, "You didn't treat me as your subordinate just now, and it doesn't count."

After saying that, she seemed to run away shyly.

Huo Xiu shook his head at her back, but touched his face. It felt good just now, a little shyness when he kissed a girl for the first time when he was a child.

"What's the matter? I'm almost 30." Huo Xiu shook his head puzzledly and walked back, "Strange thing, what a strange thing."

The war in remote areas has become a local war within the alliance, and its impact on society is even more extraordinary. People living in peace have experienced the changes brought to their lives by the war. In every report in the news media, it will attract a large number of people to comment.

However, due to the strong blow of the alliance's military, the war, which tested the intelligence of commanders and the military strength of the country, according to other commentators, turned into a one-sided ending. In October, the alliance announced that the O'Miken colonial star had returned to the alliance's arms, and the other three planets also They are all under control.

When the war was hot, Martin, who was supposed to be extremely busy, took time to find Huo Xiu. The two put a few bottles of wine at home. Martin didn't say anything. As soon as he sat down, he poured himself hard. Huo Xiu beside him didn't stop until Martin blushed a little.

"Brother, I've been really not doing well recently."

"What's wrong? As soon as I came back, I drank a lot and looked full of bitter water.

"Come on, just organized language, everything will be messed up after a few sips." Martin laughed at himself, put down his glass and leaned against the back of the chair.

"Don't sell these things. I've known you for so many years and have never seen you organize any language. Tell me everything you want to say, and I promise to concentrate and listen."

"Okay, then I said it." Martin sat up straight and looked like something important had happened. "Isn't there a civil war recently? As the largest arms supplier of the army, not to mention how busy it has been recently. Although the army has a lot of its own inventory, they are just willing to consume money at this time.

Huo Xiu nodded, but he still didn't understand what Martin wanted to say.

"Therefore, the number of times I run east and west has become more. Until one day, I saw a piece of news from a military report document... In fact, it had nothing to do with that news, but the point mentioned in it attracted my attention was about the use of the alliance fleet*.

"Well, what about then?"

"That group * is my uncle Daniel - do you remember him? That is, he once secretly sold it to unknown organizations in remote areas. It was carried by the commercial union of the original Ita Galaxy. There were a total of five transactions, with an amount of 3 billion, but because it was private goods, Daniel also kept a hand. He asked the factory to add something to the goods, resulting in a slight change in appearance, but except for a few people, it could hardly be seen. ."

Hearing this, Huo Xiu came to the spirit and asked, "You mean that this batch of * that should have been sold to some organizations actually appeared in the hands of the regular troops of the alliance?"

"Yes." Martin nodded.

"Which fleet?"

"The Seventh Fleet and the Eighth Fleet." Martin replied, "This is what I entrusted to use the name of the company. Both fleets have used this batch of models*, and even have inventory."

"It's funny. These things that were originally given to the rebels will actually appear on the regular troops. Don't tell me that they were recovered - fools won't believe it."

"This is not funny!" Martin looked at Huo Xiu and looked anxious. "When I contacted Uncle Daniel and told him what happened, he also felt that something was wrong and personally went to a faraway area to get in touch with several family members there. Finally, it was found that some materials, whether through formal or smuggling, were all processed and traded with the military. But all this is traded behind the back of the alliance, targeting some senior officers in the 7th, 8th and 9th Fleets, as well as some colonial star military leaders.

After listening, Huo Xiu also understood why Martin was so nervous. It turned out that his family was in big trouble and deliberately supported the enemy. Once it was strictly investigated, no matter how influential the Brown family was, I'm afraid they would have to face the consequences of being severely punished by the alliance. Maybe a crime of treason, they would completely finish it. .

But Huo Xiu also affirmed that the behavior of those distant fleets and planetary military leaders can certainly be regarded as a planned rebellion. However, it is also funny. A group of organizations that have declared a rebellion and a group of gangs that are still hiding their purposes are fighting. There are deeper and more difficult secrets to dig.

When facing Martin's help and confused eyes, Huo Xiu put his mind on business.

"Do you want to save the family?" Huo Xiu asked him.

He nodded.

"It's already impossible." Huo Xiu pointed out directly, "Some people in your family have begun to choose the camp. Now we can't talk about the issue of not mutiny, but whether this gamble is right or not. If that group of people can stand up completely, then congratulations, you have climbed to a higher position; but if it is finally dealt with by the alliance, just face the reality.

Martn was naturally anxious when he had seen this kind of thing. He quickly asked, "Then how do you choose?"

"Why do you ask me about this kind of thing?" Huo Xiu reported with a wry smile, "Your family's choice of its own future has nothing to do with me. Besides, no matter which side you and I represent in the future, we will always be friends. Is it possible that you can also join the army? Are we going to come to a battlefield to drink and have fun?

"Why are you still saying some sarcastic words at this time?" Martin scratched his head in distress, "Do you think I will be that kind of person? See you on the battlefield? Damn, it made me angry when I heard it! Now I'm asking what you think. Don't fucking run to the opposite side tomorrow. I'm still confused!"

"Don't be excited, lower your voice." Huo Xiu knew that the joke was too much and quickly pressed Martin's shoulder. "It's not something that can be done, and it has not been rushed to this point. You are very clear about my current situation. Unless the bigwigs behind me choose, they will firmly stand on the side of the alliance."

After Martin got the definite answer, he finally calmed down a little.

"But your family's affairs are really difficult." Huo Xiu continued, "I guess it's divided into two factions now, and you know more clearly than me. I suggest that what you need to do is to watch the changes. If people from far away from the area attract you, you'd better calm down and get rid of the relationship, but don't mix it together.

"Are you two-faced?" Martin asked.

"It can be said."

Martin thought carefully for a moment, nodded and said, "That's the only way for now."

"Don't worry, you'll be fine."
