Chapter 502: Sucking the Federation's Blood and Exploding Amber Soldiers

"Darkening?"

A real 'question mark' appeared on Lilith's head, flashing with yellow light.

This strong artificial intelligence often uses such embodied symbols to express his thoughts, emotions, and states in the virtual space. Amber feels that he has a sense of familiarity, as if he has returned to the game to see what other players have said. Same as emoticons.

"Is it the darkening one that 'whitewashes three points of weakness, and blackening is ten times stronger'?"

"Well, you are right to say that. Why do you look at these things all day long?"

Amber didn't expect Lilith to describe 'blackening' like this, although there was indeed nothing wrong with her description.

"People can use multiple things at once, so if they don't use it, it's all for nothing."

Lilith's tone was extremely relaxed, and then she saw Amber's raised eyebrows, and immediately added hurriedly:

"Master, don't worry! I definitely put my main work first. Although I multitask, I definitely don't take advantage of others!"

"Why are you so panicked? Did I say anything?"

Looking at Lilith who clearly said, "There is no silver here," Amber said angrily:

"Let's get back to the subject. Anyway, I personally judge that Norton II will deviate from his expectations due to the development of the situation, and it is also developing in an increasingly disadvantaged direction and becoming more and more radical.

This is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals, so he is very likely to take advantage of the fact that he still has a certain amount of chips in his hand to launch an armed force to force the palace in advance.

When the news of Princess Agnes's coronation was officially announced, that's when the fuse began to light."

Lilith: "So Master, when you say 'blackening', do you mean that the regent's actions will become more and more radical?"

"That's right." Amber nodded.

"Before this, in order to maintain his image among the people, Norton II acted in a relatively conservative style. Occasionally, he would make some relatively radical moves, but they would be deceptive, or at least they would not seem to be directly related to him.

But after this, no one knows, maybe Norton II will show his truest side."

"Then what do you need me to do, Master~"

Amber: "Well, apart from strengthening the information collection on the Star Dragon Empire, there is nothing else we can do for the time being. The Federation's affairs, especially in the Rubion Galaxy, are not over yet. Let's concentrate on getting things done here. Let’s talk later.

And I still don’t want Atlas Group to take the initiative to intervene in the situation of the Star Dragon Empire. If no one offers an attractive enough ‘reward’, we can just sit back and watch the fight~”

"As you command, Master~"

Lilith stood up straight and saluted Atlas, then tilted her head and said:

"Speaking of the latter point, Princess Agnes's special envoy, Mr. BASF, has always wanted to see you, but because we have encountered too many things during this period, we have not given a reply."

"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"

Amber was stunned for a moment, and then quickly recalled that Lilith did mention it once or twice, but it was really not suitable to meet this 'Princess Envoy' at that time.

"Having let others go for so long, I guess the Viscount BASF's patience is about to run out."

Lilith nodded: "When he declined the first two times, the Viscount did seem a little angry and felt that our Atlas Group 'takes itself too seriously' - these were his original words, and he also He said he would report our attitude to the princess~"

"I knew it." Amber covered her forehead helplessly. He had to admit that Atlas was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

"but--"

Lilith deliberately prolonged her tone, and after seeing Amber look over again with doubtful eyes, she continued:

"I don't know what instructions the Lord Viscount received. Anyway, when he contacted us again, he put on a smile again, as if nothing had happened before, and also said that he would wait patiently for Amber. I’ll contact you when you have time.”

"So easy to talk to?" Amber asked again.

"I don't know, but the Viscount suddenly became very patient."

Amber: "Then Lilith, please arrange a time according to your schedule. It's not good to keep procrastinating like this. Besides, he probably came to us to 'negotiate business'. Don't let the money you send to our door go to waste. By the way, this How does Viscount BASF want to communicate? Face to face? Or remote communication?”

"He hopes to have an interview with you, Master, and said he is willing to come to us in person to show his sincerity."

"Oh, then you can't neglect it."

——

After setting a time to meet with Viscount BASF, the 'Princess Envoy', Lilith also 'exchanged' some other information during her 'emotional interaction' with Amber.

The most important thing is Atlas Group's recent corporate operations, financial revenue, and matters related to its power expansion.

To sum up the recent situation in one sentence, it is 'sucking the blood of the Federation and blasting Amber's soldiers'.

Ever since the Atlas Group won the defense battle of A. Bawa Ku Fortress and took the opportunity to unleash all its firepower on the federal financial market, the military-industrial complex relied on its foundation to compete at the beginning. After the giants such as Biotechnology and Deep Space Mining fell one after another, the remaining companies collapsed.

If it weren't for the proposal of the Federal Economic Security Committee, the two federal houses passed the amendment to "restart the circuit breaker mechanism" at light speed, the entire federal financial market might have been completely broken by the operation of Lilith and Atlas Financial Business Center

It was after this that the federal government slowly gave up sanctions and took the initiative to throw out the "olive branch".

But even if it could not continue to "kill in the financial market", Atlas Group still made a lot of money in this aspect during this period, and even exceeded the combined revenue of all subsidiaries' regular business at one time.

So much so that the group's CFO Sarbanes and the director of the financial business center said the classic saying together at a meeting-"Doing this makes money much faster than doing business properly."

However, this astronomical huge income did not stay in the Atlas Group's account for too long, but soon accompanied Atlas in another way

There are not many companies in the federal military-industrial complex. In this incident, due to the armed conflict and the continuous failure of the financial market, they lost everything and finally had to declare bankruptcy.

The Atlas Group, on the other hand, took the money it had "robbed" from them and bought up the physical industries of these companies at a price so low that it gave these company directors a heart attack, taking away the factories and skilled employees.

While completely completing the light and heavy industrial chains of the Atlas Group, it also gained a lot of reputation from the people.

After all, when these employees learned that the company had gone bankrupt, they thought they would be unemployed in this recession, but they didn't expect that the Atlas Group "shot" to save their jobs.

Although after being acquired, these employees also learned that they would gradually leave the Federation and their hometowns with the factory.

But under the temptation of higher income than before, more humane working hours, and benefits to help settle their families, most people chose to leave with Atlas.

In an environment where most companies are not very "human", a strange thing like Atlas suddenly appeared, and it is easy for ordinary people who have been oppressed for a long time to be regarded as a "holy land".

Then, after the adaptation period, these newly acquired industries became part of the Atlas Group's "explosive troops".

Under efficient industrial production, the embarrassing situation of "equipment waiting for people" soon appeared.

Sometimes, Amber really suspected that she might have the "protagonist halo", otherwise it would not be possible to always encounter the good things of "someone sends a pillow when you are sleepy".

Not long after the problem of industrial overcapacity appeared, no suitable solution had been found for the time being, and the only way to reduce production efficiency was to have the Renaissance Alliance led by Franklin, which could be said to have helped Atlas a lot.
