Chapter 1138 Counterattack

In the distant holy city...

An impromptu meeting is in progress.

Ma Dong, who was promoted to the chief financial officer of the Holy City as the chairman of the Starstone Company, many adults from the Elders' Council, and leaders of the major family forces in the Holy City gathered together.

The atmosphere in the meeting room at this time seemed a little tense and quite tense.

The finances of the Holy City have been very tight recently. The taxation of the Star Alliance has reached the limit that the civilization of the earth can bear. In the past two years, it was able to cope with the long accumulation, but this year...

"It's only been three years since I joined the Star Alliance, and the Holy City's finances have already reached the point where it can't make ends meet!" Patriarch Karen stared at Ma Dong. The patriarch of one of the oldest families in the Holy City, Hebrew Karen, has always been the leader of such meetings, and at this moment he was very serious: "Joining the Star Alliance did not bring us a leap forward, on the contrary. Because we are scarred by heavy taxes, is that what everyone wants?"

"I suggest cutting all the Star Alliance welfare options that can be chosen by oneself, including the application for the annual immigrant population and the rationing of citizenship, etc. This is a considerable burden for us! The key is to pay for nothing! "

"This time I seconded Karen. Most of the lower civilizations need a rather long buffer period to join the Star Alliance." The one who spoke was another highly respected elder who was usually known for his fairness in the holy city. This almost represents the opinion of the vast majority of people: "The foundation of the earth's civilization is still too little. If you want to develop in the Star Alliance, you will not be able to eat a fat man. Try any way you want, and you will end up with nothing." Being dragged down by multiple lines, we should still focus on the local development of the holy city and the earth, and use resources in this area. Joining the Star Alliance will bring more benefits to us, and it can only be some information and knowledge for the time being. Communication, using this well I think is enough for the current earth."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

There were echoes all around, and Aunt Xue and Wang Zhanfeng frowned slightly.

Only part of the Star Alliance’s taxes are mandatory, but there are still a considerable part that can be chosen by the major civilizations, such as maintaining the annual immigration quota to the border, such as maintaining the annual citizenship application, etc. The price of these is quite high, after all The land boundary is such a big place, and tens of thousands of civilizations in the entire fifth dimension want to drill there. Is it true that the Star Alliance gives the earth one hundred places every year for free? The investment of the holy city in this part is almost worth the tax of a fourth-level civilization for a whole year.

At the beginning, the elders gritted their teeth and insisted on this part of the annual expenditure. It was because they wanted to take a shortcut and hoped that the experience of the land would help the earth to cultivate some superpowers, but the effect was obviously not good. Except for Wang Zhong who gave a vague information some time ago, Others were either slaves or coolies in the past, not to mention their success, and it was difficult for them to survive. It was a meaningless investment at a high price. Coupled with the increasing burden on the holy city, reducing this part of the expenditure has long been put on the agenda, and the voice is very loud.

"I don't agree." Ma Dong stood up: "If you don't enter the God's Domain and just keep a Star Alliance status, it seems that you can reduce a lot of expenses, but in fact it is killing chickens to get eggs! It will only integrate us into the Star Alliance plan. Indefinite postponement, and once we announce the abandonment of immigration investment, it will be tantamount to breaking the way of all previous immigrants! As earthlings, they will immediately lose their legal status in the realm of the gods. Does this mean that they should all die? ?!"

"Ma Dong, pay attention to your words! Those who go to God's Domain are all the best talents among our earthlings, and many of them are the younger generations of everyone present. No one wants them to die!" A veteran scolded : "But because of this, is it dragging the entire civilization to be buried with you? A strong man cuts off his wrist and makes this decision. I believe that everyone present is much more uncomfortable than you, a guy who makes rockets!"

Ma Dong's own situation is actually quite controversial. To be precise, his actions have always been the focus of controversy, and there are probably not a few people who want to kill him.

"I don't mean that. As the current financial director of the Holy City, I just want to say that we can still hold on, at least for a few more years." Facing the attack and anger of many holy mentor-level powerhouses, he just said calmly: "We shouldn't change the original strategic policy just because of temporary difficulties, let alone break the relationship between our brothers and sisters in God's Domain. Road! I am willing to donate all the property of the Kassadin family..."

"Hehe, donate?" Hebway Karen sneered: "Your Kassadin family is very rich, but is it enough to pay the Star Alliance's taxes for one year? Even if it is enough, what about the next year? What about the next year? "

"The difficulty is only temporary. This is what our entire civilization is facing. If all of you here can also generously donate..."

"Are you joking? For a completely hopeless dead end, you make everyone pay the price of all their wealth? You are crazy yourself, and you want everyone to be crazy with you!"

"Ma Dong, don't take it for granted!"

There was an uproar in the conference room, and all the bosses present paid out of their own pockets, just to send their own family's children to be enslaved and bullied in God's Domain?

"It's not a complete dead end! Have you forgotten about Wang Zhong? He had established himself on Tianbao Street more than half a year ago, we have to trust him..."

"Ma Dong, are you joking?" Hebway Karen's eyes flashed brightly, and he didn't mention Wang Zhong. When Wang Zhong was mentioned, Hebway was filled with anger: "What do you mean by stopping at Tianbao Street?" Heel? At the beginning, we almost believed his message, but the result? It’s just luck to be attached to a demon clan Xudan, and it’s not enslaved. Do you really think it’s his ability?”

The holy city has very weak control over the information of the Covenant Alliance. Except for the occasional situation that can be learned through Star Airlines, it is almost difficult to contact it once a year or so. There is no way, after all, the earth is still It is not qualified to establish a formal communication channel, and there is no transmission field dedicated to the earth.

Everyone's understanding of Wang Zhong is limited to the time when Wang Zhong just got a foothold in Tianbao Street. At that time, Wang Zhong sent a message to the Elder Association, and because Old Wang didn't want people on Earth to feel that they could do whatever they wanted in Tianbao Street, so that The information is also very vague, and some human beings always have a black-bellied habit of speculating on themselves.

"Let me tell you what's going on with Wang Zhong!" He said coldly, "The genius of my Karen family, Wells Cullen, went to join him in Tianbao Street just because he believed the rumor that Wang Zhong boasted. In the end, guess what? Just because of a small matter, he was handed over to the machine clan and sent to the Tianhe battlefield to do labor!"

There was an uproar all around.

"I don't believe it." Wang Zhanfeng finally spoke, his voice was unusually cold, and Ma Dong could only argue with reason, a powerful aura of a holy teacher permeated the air, Hebway wanted to guide the reform of the Elder Council, he had no objection, now The financial problem is indeed a hurdle that is difficult for the Holy City to overcome, but in this way, Wang Zhong, Wang Zhanfeng knows his adopted son quite well, and sacrificed his clansmen to please others? Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe it: "Hebway, show evidence, don't talk nonsense here!"

"That's right, Hebway, you can't talk nonsense. Can you contact Tianbao Street? Where did you get the news? And why didn't you say it before?"

"There is no doubt, this is what I heard from the Boer Stars when I traded with them not long ago. If you need it, I can provide the recording at that time." Hebway Karen said coldly: "At that time, it was just for the sake of the overall situation. , I didn't say anything about it, it's not that the children of my Karen family are unwilling to make sacrifices for the ethnic group, but since it's about this today, since it involves the future decision of the ethnic group, I have to mention it!"

"This Wang Zhong, I think his original message was completely fabricated. What can he do in Tianbao Street? It's just to deceive many people from the clan and use it! Hehe, instead of defending his clan, he is using his clan To fulfill his own reputation, to use the life and death of his people to curry favor with other civilizations, as a step for him to climb up, such a person, how dare you tell us to believe him? What do you believe in him? Today he dares to curry favor with him If the clan sacrifices one of his clansmen, he will dare to kill the entire clan for his own sake in the future!"

"Is this really the case?"

"Hebway is not a person who talks nonsense."

"This Wang Zhong, how dare you do this?!"

"If that's the case, then I suggest that you immediately stop all assistance to immigrants from God's Domain, and immediately stop all contributions to immigrants!"

There was an uproar in the meeting room, Wang Zhanfeng and Xueli's expressions were ugly, they didn't believe that Wang Zhong would do such a thing, but Hebowei's words were convincing, maybe there was something hidden in it , but at least the superficial fact is that there is no need to run away. Recently, there are many voices against the plan to stop immigration. Only the two of them and Ma Dong have been insisting on it. Originally, a considerable number of people in the Senate remained neutral on this. But now, look at the angry discussion in the conference room. The three of them No matter how much you block it, it will be difficult to control the overall situation.

While the crowd was excited, there was a hasty knock on the door outside the meeting room.

The bigwigs who were making their own remarks all frowned. Who would dare to knock on the door of the conference room at this time?

Everyone was quiet for a while, and the door was pushed open, and an ordinary Senate communications officer ran in, with incredible surprise on his face, completely forgetting that he was not qualified to interrupt the meetings of the big bosses present. of.

Hebway was about to reprimand, but the communications officer hurriedly said: "My lords, the Star Alliance has a new appointment! My earth civilization has been promoted to half a level, and I can enjoy the treatment of a quasi-level five civilization! Taxes will be reduced by ten percent every year. , the information authority has been raised to quasi-level 5, the transaction authority has been raised to quasi-level 5, and all expenses for one hundred immigrants have been reduced or exempted!"

The originally noisy conference hall suddenly fell silent.

Civilization upgrade? Tax cuts, increased information and transaction authority, and all immigration expenses reduced or exempted? !

This, what's the situation?

Everyone is dumbfounded. What everyone is arguing about here is the issue of immigration expenses, but now they are all reduced or exempted. Why are you arguing?

Level 4 civilization has to pay a high fee to have the permission of 100 immigrants per year, while level 5 civilization can enjoy this benefit for free. Of course, if you want to send 2300 per year, you have to pay extra for the excess I have paid.

As for the improvement of information transaction authority, this is what the earth civilization needs most at present! What is joining the Star Alliance map? Isn't it just to enjoy the public information rights of those fourth-level civilizations and the fair trade rights with other civilizations? Most of the technologies of the fourth-level civilization and some public simple secrets of practice can be directly learned by the people on earth. This has allowed the people on the earth to get rapid improvements in technology and practice in just three years, and now it is directly open Five-level authority, more high-tech, and more cultivation methods, it is simply that the entire civilization will leap forward immediately!

Moreover, the reduction in taxes, especially the increase in trading authority, will give the earth more initiative and voice when trading with other civilizations, and the speed of earning resources will be hundreds of times faster than it is now! The current financial problems are solved almost instantly!

But, did the Star Alliance have a sudden convulsion? Raise the civilization level of the earth for no reason? The Council of Elders didn't apply at all! And why? Just relying on the current position of the earth civilization at the bottom of the Star Alliance, raising the level of civilization is something that I dare not even dream of!

If it weren't for knowing that the communications officer dared not tell lies, it would be impossible for everyone to believe such absurd words.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the messenger officer who was speechless, and only heard him continue: "The appointment was issued directly from the Tianmen! It is Wang Zhong. Master Domiguer of Misobudabi said it was Wang Zhong." , We humans have a genius, and we have been recognized by the governor of the Tianbei tribe, we have hope!"

Wang Zhong? Tianmen? Lord? !

No matter how occluded the news of the earth's civilization is, at least everyone knows the sensitive words such as Tianmen, Tianbei tribe, and Duzhu.

After the conference room was quiet for a few seconds, gasps of air appeared on the faces of these big bosses who were usually calm.

Ma Dong clenched his fists tightly, but with a cold smile on his face, "There is no turning back for human beings, everyone here knows that there is only one choice before us, either succeed or perish. Slow down, Mr. Hebway, let’s go back to the question just now, how did that trash of your family almost destroy the reputation that Wang Zhong and others have finally established, the reputation of our earthlings..."

Does reason really matter?

In fact, there are no idiots present, it’s just that they have different positions. Today, Ma Dong is more aware of the importance of unity, but a black apple like Hebway must not stay. Life has taught him to break when he is done.
