Chapter 269 "Do You Want to Start a War?" (Second Update Due to Leave.)
"President Li."
On the orange star, a man in uniform sat on the desk, looking at the starship landing application letter handed over by the middle-aged man with a silly smile in front of him. After being silent for a long time, he waved his hand casually.
Soon the door was closed.
A small prop is placed on the table and activated. This prop can isolate all electronic products and can effectively prevent communication from being eavesdropped. Of course, if there are rules and props specifically for eavesdropping, there is no way.
After all, this prop can only ensure that communication is avoided from being eavesdropped most of the time.
"We have been cooperating for some time. You use a starship specially designed to transport minerals to help some people illegally enter the Orange Star, that is, smuggling. There is no problem with this matter."
"Everybody knows it."
"But aren't you a bit outrageous tonight? How long has it been since then and you have already applied for landing four more starships?"
"Do you think my leader is a fool? 13 starships transporting minerals landed on Orange Star in one night? Orange Star is a commercial and residential star. Why does it need so many minerals? An artificial mountain?"
"cough"
The man in front of him with a silly smile on his face looked slightly embarrassed and rubbed his nose: "That's a bit outrageous. The main reason is that business is particularly good tonight. Can't that be used as an artificial mountain?"
"As for your leader, don't worry, I've already taken care of it."
"."
"Even if my leader's place is well taken care of, what about my leader's place? Can it be justified with so many mining ships landing in one night?"
"I've taken care of your lineage from top to bottom."
"."
The man in uniform was expressionless and silent for a long time before he said, "Then why have you been looking for me before? Why don't you just ask my leader to give me orders?"
"That's not okay. If there is meat, of course everyone has to eat it together."
The man smiled innocently and did not continue talking. The underlying reason was, of course, that the people above could only turn a blind eye, but it was absolutely impossible to give orders.
Nothing happened and everything was fine.
If anything goes wrong, the person in front of you will definitely take the blame.
This is why he gave this person money, otherwise who would take the blame if something went wrong?
Let the person in front of you take the blame? Don't make trouble. They didn't confiscate the money, and they were following the leader's orders. Why should they take the blame? The people above are taking the blame? That is even more impossible and goes against the image of the Federation.
Who takes the blame in the end.
Naturally, he took the blame. The Federation was so angry that they directly sent troops to suppress him. They then directly reported the news and arranged a one-stop service.
Grassroots personnel, naturally responsible for grassroots work, also act as scapegoats at critical times.
It's not just Iron Man who can maintain peace, but also the scapegoat.
"Okay, I still like your attitude very much."
The man in uniform did not speak anymore. He took the starship landing application letter from the man's hand, took out his official seal and pressed it on it: "The batches of people you have transported these few times will not cause any trouble, right?"
"Of course not."
The man across the table smiled naively, took back the application letter with the official seal, looked at the other person with a smile and said: "Don't worry, leaders, we are all law-abiding citizens, be good."
But inside he grinned and said nothing.
Are there any decent people who can sneak across the border?
There were quite a few people smuggling to the Orange Star tonight, and even he was afraid of the firepower they carried.
This thing is basically ready to start a war. In this case, it is estimated that the docking person will need to be changed again. A new docking person should be on duty in a few days.
It would be great if business was as good as today every day.
Then it won't be long before he can save enough money to build a fully equipped destroyer.
In fact.
It is normal for the man in uniform in front of him not to know about this matter. Those at the top can only act within the rules. For example, they cannot order grassroots personnel to do things that are easy to be criticized.
But firing a junior employee with a bad work attitude is completely within the scope of the rules, and it is reasonable and there is no fault.
Therefore, every new grassroots employee takes up his post.
He then goes to hand over the matter. If the other party takes the money and does the work, then we can get along happily and everyone can make money together.
If the other party is selfless and doesn't accept money, fire them and replace them with the next one.
If the other party refuses to do anything after receiving the money, fire them and replace them with the next one.
If the other person can't understand the hints of stupidity, fire him and replace him with the next one.
In short, if you don't like it, just change it until everyone is satisfied with it. He and the people above him can't talk about this kind of thing, and can't say a word. They all rely on tacit understanding.
You do things, and I do things. Although the two parties don't talk to each other at all, things are done.
For those who work in their profession and make a living under the Federation, the biggest requirement is that they must be able to read and understand words rather than understand words, and their ability to observe words and emotions must be top-notch.
After leaving the office.
He straightened his back and stuffed the invitation with the official seal in his hand among the men waiting at the door of the office, then strode away from the place and boarded the maglev car parked in mid-air not far away.
He opened his watch and looked at his balance account. After counting the numbers, he nodded with satisfaction. This vote tonight made a lot of money.
The smuggling industry is very profitable.
First of all, customers who can choose to smuggle themselves in are often not very financially capable and can afford the price.
The cost of stowaway is indeed not low. Not to mention the price of the starships and the cost of traveling on the way. Just the regular payment is an astronomical figure. All of these must be included in the cost.
But the good thing is that the smuggling industry is an absolute monopoly.
The relevant personnel of the federation on a planet who are responsible for the landing of starships will only cooperate with one force and will not cooperate with multiple forces. The reason is also very simple. The more people there are, the more variables there are.
For those people, stability and security are the most important.
In other words, if you want to sneak to the Orange Star, you can only find him, Li Shangyin, and it will be useless to find anyone else.
Absolute monopoly means that whenever a large number of people are ready to smuggle into the Orange Star, that's when he makes a lot of money. Unfortunately, he has been contracting this planet for a long time and has never seen such a situation. Several times.
at this time--
A communication screen suddenly popped up on his watch.
I saw a man with tattoos on his face, wearing a green military vest, holding a rifle in his arms and looking at the screen seriously.
"Boss, brothers just discovered relevant information about one of the groups in the first few mining ships that landed."
"Then what? What does it have to do with us?"
After hearing this, Li Shangyin looked at the man in the picture expressionlessly: "The biggest rule in this industry is that you are not allowed to spy on the identity of your customers. Do you want to break the rule?"
"But the boss's group of forces are "albatross." "
"albatross?"
Li Shangyin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a hint of unbelievable surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. It really took no effort to search everywhere without breaking through iron shoes! !
He has been looking for the "Albatross" group for a long time, but he never knew the coordinates of their base and their movements were elusive. He didn't expect to meet him here!
I just said that he contracted the smuggling business of Orange Star.
The contracting here did not cost money, but he killed all the forces that had previously contracted the Orange Star smuggling business, so this business naturally fell into his hands.
Where federal laws cannot cover it, competition becomes much simpler, and the one who survives is the final winner!
And the reason why he keeps looking for "Albatross" is also very simple. The "Albatross" group of forces owns the contracting rights for stowaways on a planet. If all of them are killed by this group of forces, the rest of the contracting rights for stowaways on this planet will be lost. It will all fall into his hands.
"Oh shit!"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he quickly took out a few application letters from under the car seat. After hastily filling them out, he looked at the communication screen and said hurriedly: "Notify all brothers to board the ship. Let's do something big tonight!"
"After we are done, brothers will enjoy the hot and spicy food from now on!"
"Bring all the guys with you!"
"It's my territory. If I want to sneak in, I won't be able to sneak in. It's okay if you're big. Just come one at a time and I'll hand in the application letter."
"If they dare to come to my territory, it will definitely be impossible for them to leave alive. I don't know if they are all mobilized. Even if they are not all mobilized, catching the core characters can force them to find out the coordinates of the "Albatross" lair. "
Anyone who is capable of smuggling is an armed force, and their firepower is even better than that of interstellar pirates.
The most important abilities of interstellar pirates are actually the speed of starship movement, single-player combat capability in space, the ability to quickly board enemy starships, and the ability to obtain intelligence. The firepower intensity is a few points higher than those in the back row.
But the smuggling business is different. In the process of fighting for the territory, it is all about fighting hard. Whoever survives will get the territory.
If piracy is guerrilla warfare, then their profession is positional warfare.
For those who engage in positional warfare, their firepower intensity must be higher than that of pirates.
"."
That familiar office, the familiar desk, the familiar man in uniform. He looked at the unfamiliar application letter in front of him in silence for a long time before speaking.
"Sixteen minutes later, four mining ships applied for landing."
"Thirty-two minutes later, four mining ships applied for landing."
"Forty-eight minutes later, four mining ships applied for landing."
"A rough calculation shows that a total of nearly twenty mining ships will apply for landing at different points in the next time."
"President Li, is your business going too well tonight?"
"Do you want to start a war on the Orange Star?"
"Blessed by our ancestors, business is indeed going well tonight."
After Li Shangyin laughed, he pushed an anonymous star card from the table with a smile: "They are all a group of refugees. They do not have legal status as federal citizens and cannot board the starship. They can only walk on small roads."
"You're all good, nothing's wrong."
"All good people."
