Chapter 129 Support

In the past ten days, the battle of Colonial Star has remained as usual, but the army has been in the process of taking a shift to rest and replenish equipment under the intentional arrangement of various officers. Although it was not clear from the top, the grassroots soldiers could also feel the omen of the storm.

On the other hand, Huo Tianqi and Martin also took some of their cronies around them and personally rushed to the colonial star, which was still in a state of war, to launch the plan of negotiation between the four people. For this reason, Huo Xiu also specially slowed down the pace of fighting with the enemy and gave them time to prepare.

In fact, the benefits are unexpectedly good. Due to the confrontation between the alliance and the rebels, more businessmen are worried that their industries will be destroyed. In order to preserve their foundation, most of them sell their equity or fixed assets, but there are not many people who have the courage to buy, and no one is afraid of losing their blood.

But Huo Tianqi and Martin were not afraid at all. They focused on the most profitable enterprises, whether they were coerced or lure, and successfully got what they wanted most at a low price, thus controlling these enterprises. The most worth mentioning is the business organization. The first thing that broke the war was their trade. Easy monopoly, the alliance's fight against the rebels was even an air raid on an important material base of the Chamber of Commerce, and more than 1 billion worth of materials were destroyed on the eve, which not only made them feel the panic brought by the war, but also fear that their property would be destroyed in the artillery fire.

Therefore, the process of acquiring important enterprises under the Chamber of Commerce only paid more than 30 billion yuan. After the signing of the contract, this result made Huo Tianqi and Martin laugh all night. This was simply a pie falling from the sky. When they picked it up, it was still hot!

However, each has its own calculation. Several important members of the Chamber of Commerce don't know where to hear the news. It is estimated that the war will last for several years? This almost cut off the way to make money. When they learned that someone wanted to buy it, they couldn't wait to sell these enterprises that could no longer exert their economic benefits. They had planned to return their money, but now there are several fools who want to pay for it. They just feel tired and someone just gave pillows, exchanged a real money to prepare After the space blockade is relaxed, leave the planet and go to a stable place to start again.

In this way, they all think that they have made money, and the two sides have happily traded with each other... This is just the epitome of the scene behind a large number of transactions. Martin and Huo Tianqi brought talents in this field. They are extremely good at bargaining, and they have studied the situation of colonial stars before coming. They exaggerate the words. Is there going to fight a war? One year, your business will also be closed for one year? At that time, it will be worthless. Although some people doubt and some people are reluctant to leave the business kingdom they have operated and established for many years, the fact is in front of them. There is only one opportunity, and no one forces them.

In this regard, under the control of military leaders, a game can almost be called "robbing. The financial activities of robbery are going crazy. War money is not only arms, but also 100 billion can be consumed in just a few days like their group of people. However, at least the means are still civilized. Without forced buying and selling, both sides can get benefits.

"Are they doing well over there?"

Huo Sixin is still dressed in professional clothes and stands more than one meter away from Huo Xiu, but the real distance is dozens of light years away. The interstellar transition holographic technology infinitely shortens this distance, and the delay between the two sides is no more than one second. In today's society, only military communication systems can do this.

"These two guys have been laughing all day." Huo Xiu said, "I heard that the funds are ready to be consumed, and they plan to continue to mobilize funds and take this opportunity to earn more money."

"How much does it cost?" Huo Sixin asked.

"It's not very clear." Huo Xiu shook his head, "Occasionally, I heard Huo Tianqi mention that he wanted to borrow one trillion yuan from his family, but later he seemed to think it was too little."

"The amount is not small." Huo Sixin thought for a moment, "But I will also discuss it with my family. If it doesn't work, I can only ask my father for help."

But Huo Xiu is not very optimistic about this. He said, "I don't think it's possible to prepare for the worst. This time, the amount is huge. The old stubborn people must think that our juniors are fooling around, and other people who can't eat grapes will block it. Even if they turn to their parents for help, they may be restricted. In fact, hope has to be placed on Huo Tianqi. He is the most valued by his grandfather, and only he can do this in the younger generation.

"Yes, but it's always right to try." Huo Sixin looked up and said, "But I'm not looking for this purpose."

"Do you want to talk about government issues?"

"Well, that's right." Huo Sixin is not surprised. Her brother is very smart. In addition, the colonial star has been in a state of government chaos. At present, the army is in charge of the planet, but once the war is over, the administrative power of the planet will eventually fall into the hands of politicians, and the army can only serve as an auxiliary.

Thinking of this, Huo Xiu laughed: "The government here has been destroyed by the rebels. On the first day of the war, the body of the supreme consul hung high on the flagpole of the rebel interim government and broadcast live around the world. The rest of the people have been threatened with assassination and have long been scared and don't know where to hide. Only some regional leaders are left, but how dare they be in charge of the administration of the planet at this time?

"So this is a good opportunity for us." Huo Sixin said, "We want to take full control of a planet, and you are currently the person who really controls the planet and has the most power to speak, so we must foster a government representative in line with our private interests before your right expires."

"What do you say?" Huo Xiu knew that his sister was many times better than himself in this regard. After all, he would never believe that she had no means to ascend to the position of supreme consul with the help of war, but the lively and naughty girl usually likes to behave in front of her brother.

"It's very simple. According to the news I got from the National Security Bureau, the rebels took away more than 20 trillion yuan from the colonial star at the beginning. Although the central government will remedy it, the distant water can't save the fire. This government's finances have been completely out of money, you know? The government faces a fiscal deficit, which will bring a series of social problems.

"But as long as someone can maintain the operation of the government, it is enough to ensure that he is firmly in the position of consul - and you will be the one who makes him take the first step. In your capacity, it is not a problem to appoint an acting consul, and Huo Tianqi and Martin are the big chaebols on the planet. As long as they lend a helping hand, the government will Save it!"

"It's still a game of a consortium controlling the government." Huo Sixin said, "But as long as this step is achieved, no matter who will be the consul in the future general election, the four of us are the largest creditors of the government. If we continue to invest and buy government bonds, they will never be able to pay off this debt. This planet is not under our control yet?"

"I understand, in the final analysis, we have to take advantage of this big acquisition, right?"

"Yes, at the same time, I also helped you find a few people to choose. You can discuss it, see which one is most suitable to be our spokesperson, and then support him to take office." Huo Sixin encrypted a document and sent it, "These people are all in the Colonial Star House, and the information is obtained from the National Security Bureau."

"You take time to analyze it. I left in advance."

Huo Xiu downloaded the file she sent, which contained the information of five legislators. He turned over. He was about 60 years old and looked like an old man. To be honest, Huo Xiu didn't like to deal with politicians very much. He always felt that their smile was sinister behind his back. He left the information to Huo Tianqi and Martin's research.

......

"Brother Xiu, we have selected the person, and I will send you the information."

Huo Xiu nodded, and the holographic image of Huo Tianqi opposite him lowered his head and operated on the virtual keyboard. Soon the information was displayed in the upper right air in front of him in a hologram.

The image shows a black-haired yellow man named "Lu Zhijian", with his eyes slightly narrowed and seemed to be smiling. At the age of 64, he served as a colonial star legislator and usually had his own job. He used to be a popular figure in the colonial star general election, but later lost the election.

"Talk about this person." Huo Xiu doesn't want to finish reading it little by little. The National Security Bureau has given too much information. It is estimated that it can't be finished in five or six hours.

"Let me talk about it." Martin stood up, "This person was once supported by the Chamber of Commerce during the highest election. He is the person they recommended. His usual performance is not dazzling, but a regular person. But the Chamber of Commerce chose him because he was easy to control. He accepted a large amount of money from the Chamber of Commerce and used his own relationship to do a lot for the Chamber of Commerce... He always chose him after the research of Tianqi and me.

"Well, then do it." Huo Xiu had no objection and just supported a puppet. "Do you know where he is now?"

"I don't know. It needs to borrow your strength."

"Oh, I asked the Military Information Bureau to check the location information of his personal built-in chip." Huo Xiu said to them, "After I find out, I will send someone to pick you up and actually inspect him. As long as he is not a ghost, the matter will be settled and let him be our spokesperson."

......

It's very simple. The satellite conducts accurate global positioning. The chip built into Lu Zhijian's wrist gives him a clear view of his location information. Coincidentally, he did not fall into the enemy-occupied area.

After that, Huo Xiu set out on a military ship to pick up Martin and Huo Tianqi, and then went straight to his destination.

It was extremely conspicuous for three black military spacecraft painted with the logo of the alliance to stop in front of a two-storey private house, attracting many nearby citizens who poked their heads out to observe, but they all consciously did not approach without authorization. The hatch of the spacecraft opened, and a group of heavily armed soldiers came out and scattered around as vigilance, followed by Huo Xiu and his assistant Annie in army uniforms, as well as Martin and Huo Tianqi.

Anne glanced at the map on the computer and pointed in one direction and said, "The target is the house in front of her."

"Let's go."

Huo Xiu walked forward.

Two soldiers knocked on the door, and a woman in her 30sties opened a gap, showed a small half of her face, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you and what are you going to do?"

"Allied military." A soldier showed his ID, "There is something important to ask Mr. Lu Zhijian, and please take away your pistol. We can kill you on the grounds of threatening senior military generals."

The tactical glasses worn by the soldiers have a metal detection function. After looking into the door, they found a pistol clenched by the woman's other hand.

The woman was stunned and quickly put down the gun. A man's voice came from behind her: "Let them come in. We haven't done anything bad. What are you worried about?"

The woman opened the door and let go.

Huo Xiu stepped in, nodded slightly to her, then came to Lu Zhijian, who had just come out of the room, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu. My name is Huo Xiu, the commander-in-chief of Colonial Star.

Lu Zhijian quickly took Huo Xiu's hand and said, "Looking forward to you for a long time! I didn't expect that the famous Commander Huo would come to the cold house. Madam was also out of a sense of prevention just now. Please forgive me for any offending.

"It doesn't matter. It's during the war. It's always right for Mrs. Lu to be vigilant." Huo Xiu didn't care about this at all. "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Martin Brown and Mr. Huo Tianqi. We are looking for you. There is an important thing we want to discuss with you.

"How are you, Mr. Brown and Mr. Huo?" Lu Zhijian shook hands with the two of them separately and then turned sideways, "Let's go to the study and talk?"

Several people walked into the study.

Huo Xiu sat down first, and then Martin and Huo Tianqi sat aside. Annie stood behind Huo Xiu. Lu Zhijian separated the primary and secondary of the four people, and finally sat down. Mrs. Lu poured some tea for them. Huo Xiu looked at her. The woman was young and beautiful. She was Lu Zhijian's second wife after divorce.

After drinking a sip of tea, Lu Zhijian asked, "A few friends are here. What can I do for you?"

Martin and Huo Tianqi looked at Huo Xiu and said, "Well, Mr. Lu, you know that there is a fault in the leadership of the colonial star government, and the threat of rebels, the position of the supreme consul has been idle. I asked the intelligence agency to check and found that you are a good candidate.

Lu Zhijian gently put down the teacup, and a light flashed in his eyes at that moment. Obviously, it moved him, but he still didn't say anything, quietly waiting for Huo Xiu to finish his words.

"Let me be blunt. You should be able to guess the identity of Mr. Brown and Mr. Huo from their surnames. What I want to tell you is that they plan to provide economic assistance to the colonial star, not only to acquire factories and enterprises transferred due to the war, but also to decide to fund the colonial star government with financial losses."

"But we lack a spokesperson. In my capacity, I can temporarily appoint a parliamentarian as a wartime acting consul in accordance with the law, and that person, with our help, should stabilize the hearts of the people, help restore social and economic order, and bring some administrative convenience to several gentlemen. Huo Xiu looked at Lu Zhijian and paused for a moment. "Military habits, please forgive me for speaking too bluntly. If you agree, please give a clear answer."

Although Lu Zhijian was moved, he did not agree immediately, but thought about all the purposes of the other party and the possibility of their successful implementation of the plan, but he had to admit that as long as he agreed, he could take the position of acting supreme consul, and Huo Xiu also made it clear. You need to serve them.

But what's the difference? Which consul does not have the support of a consortium? The consortium also more or less affects the political trend of a planet. Originally, there was a commercial federation standing behind himself, but the unexpected change of the war made the commercial federation overwhelmed. At present, there is a person who is likely to become his new master, and he is powerful, not only a member of the two major families, but also a colonial star commander-in-chief.

"General Huo, I want to ask a question."

Huo Xiu nodded and motioned him to ask.

"How long will it take for the rebels to retreat?" Lu Zhijian asked, on the one hand, he wanted to find out how much strength they had, and on the other hand, he also affirmed Huo Xiu's military leadership ability. The question was a little presumptuous, but the person questioned would not be angry. He could calculate every sentence.

"Look at the time when we find the spokesperson." Huo Xiu said, "If it is soon, the war will soon end and everything arranged will be on the right track."

Lu Zhijian nodded and asked, "Are you other candidates besides me?"

Huo Xiu looked at him for a while, shook his head and said, "You are the only one. I'm sure you won't refuse, because this is your only chance, and you don't have the ability to refuse.

Indeed, once he refuses, Huo Xiu can find the next spokesperson, but Lu Zhijian can't get involved in politics anymore. This is about some face problems. To put it bluntly, the election is just the same thing. The right to vote is in the hands of voters, but the candidates can't be decided by them.

"I really can't refuse." Lu Zhijian nodded and said, "Moreover, I didn't want to refuse. This is a good opportunity to show my talents and be recognized by several gentlemen. Lu is extremely honored and willing to contribute to future cooperation so that the efforts of the gentlemen will not be in vain."

He promised very quickly, and also said that he would bring benefits after becoming a consul. The efforts of the consortium would not be in vain, and he also got the power he wanted to pursue. The two sides are mutually beneficial. Although the glorious consul is controlled by the consortium, there are still people competing for it.

"Smart choice, Mr. Lu." Huo Xiu stood up and shook hands with him.

Martin also shook hands with him and said, "I believe your performance will not disappoint me."

Huo Tianqi said, "When you are ready, you can leave with us. If you need anything, you can bring it up now."

"Thank you." Lu Zhijian said, "There is a small request. I hope you can ensure the safety of my family. How about that?"

"Don't worry, the rebels will have no time to take care of these things in the future." Huo Xiu said that why there is no time to take care of it? Naturally, he keeps fighting with the alliance and has no power to return to heaven.

"In addition, before the colonial star completely restores peace, the military will have special forces to ensure the safety of your family. I don't want our spokesperson to die so easily. After all, at present, we can reach an agreement in many aspects, right?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I expected." Lu Zhijian said with a smile that he knew that this was a warning from the other party. Once he did something against them, it would be easy to solve it.

"Okay, I won't interfere in the relevant arrangements. Mr. Brown and Mr. Huo are very experienced in this field. If you have any questions, please discuss with them."

"In addition, you are going to take office in three days."
