On Earth, the dangerous elements affecting the security situation are not actually dangerous to the Star Alliance. To draw a simple analogy, during the era of feudal dynasties, a group of people armed with iron weapons and wearing armor, numbering only a few hundred and requiring no special training or an exceptional commander, posed a significant threat to any ruling dynasty official. However, in modern times, a group dressed in plate armor and wielding weapons would generally be regarded as war reenactment enthusiasts, not something to be feared by the regime's machinery of violence.
The same principle applies to terrorists who previously harmed others with simple bombs and various captured weapons. They pose no real threat in the face of the advanced technology of the Star Alliance.
If the Star Alliance is to fully assimilate Earth's power, a stance must be taken. An effective global government naturally needs to take on the responsibility of maintaining global peace, and combating armed insurgents is an excellent method. Along with other policies adopted by Bai Zhongqi, such as national cooperation mechanisms, comprehensive poverty alleviation, and education plans, these could make certain nations and their populations feel that they will live better under the Star Alliance system than before.
Winning the acceptance of all Earth's people for the Star Alliance is not an easy task, and Bai Zhongqi knew that one cannot rush to eat hot tofu, yet he hoped to unite their hearts and strengths sooner. Only then could he counter the Teizene civilization.
As for the specific operations of the Star Alliance, Bai Zhongqi left those to the Iridium Star people and the people of C country, especially since the people of C country showed a great deal of enthusiasm for this matter, while Du Peng mainly represented his own voice, even though the former Imperial Prime Minister had once been clearly in favor of fleeing.
Bai Zhongqi's main focus had long been on future warfare. To deal with the Teizene Lizard People, Bai Zhongqi had exhausted all resources.
Apart from organizing the Universe Army's battleship construction project and drafting global conscription and training programs, Bai Zhongqi even turned his strategic deception ideas against Teizene into an actual "Strategic Bluff Office."
"This Strategic Bluff Office, ahem, despite its informal name, actually serves a role as significant as a mighty armed force. Currently, the Bluff Office has two main tasks; the first task is to extract intelligence from the Teizene people, understanding their current detailed information, and the second task involves deception, making the Teizene people believe in false information and causing them to make significant errors in decision-making," explained Bai Zhongqi.
He had never studied strategy formally, and when it came to tactics and command on the battlefield, he was almost clueless, not even comparable to the short-term trained officers in the Star Alliance's military academy. However, some individuals are innately gifted at strategic planning. Bai Zhongqi was skilled at analysis, remained calm and composed in situations, and was adept at seizing opportunities. Thus, upon receiving communication tools programmed by Harass, he immediately realized he could exploit this.
At this time, Liu Zhe, an engineer from Flashpoint Company, was sweating profusely. He had been specially solicited by Bai Zhongqi, and Nan Ma had "betrayed" him, claiming his technical skills were excellent.
Bai Zhongqi had scarce talent regarding software systems, after all, the population from Iridium Star that had crossed over was also small. Most of the civilian and military software used in Iridium Star was generally automated by artificial intelligence.
Liu Zhe had worked at Flashpoint Company for half a year, absorbing a significant amount of Iridium Star's information technology and network, software engineering knowledge, and he was even able to communicate and cooperate normally with Iridium Star's software engineers.
Naturally, Bai Zhongqi needed technical support to utilize Harass's communication software.
"Last time, the Teizene people 'generously' disclosed a vast amount of information to us, including achievements they had made over a hundred years, the scale of their fleet, and the standard of their main battle ships. They did this partly due to their inherently boastful and flamboyant nature, and partly because they actually hoped that Harass would withstand and bring even more intelligence for comparison. This time, we will impersonate Harass, sending back some parameters of Iridium Star warships and forged imagery data to make the Teizene people believe that the technological level of Iridium Star warships is not far from their own," said Bai Zhongqi.
Xu Lanzhou furrowed her delicate, willow-shaped eyebrows slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, last time you mentioned we need to deceive the Teizene people into thinking we are hard to defeat, why should we appear weaker to our enemies this time?"
Bai Zhongqi stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with shrewdness as he explained, "The Teizene people are extremely interested in the Danlu Interstellar Cloud, but they know that if this bone is too hard to chew, they might not be able to do it alone, leading them to choose to collaborate with other civilizations, or use it as a bargaining chip and sell it to a higher-tier civilization. Any of these could be worse for us than dealing with the Teizene people."
Xu Lanzhou immediately understood Bai Zhongqi's logic and said, "If the Teizene people find out that although our technology is advanced, our fleet level is not too high, then they definitely wouldn't want to share the benefits of the Danlu Interstellar Cloud with other civilizations but intend to monopolize it, keeping this secret well guarded."
Bai Zhongqi nodded and said, "Exactly, after considerable thought, I think avoiding a war is unrealistic now. We must defeat the Teizene people at our doorstep. Thus, rather than intimidating the Teizene civilization, it's better to lull them into complacency, let them come to us voluntarily, and then we can defeat them in one fell swoop, even heavily damaging the Teizene civilization. Only then can we maintain our control over the Danlu Interstellar Cloud and officially make our mark in the Galaxy."
As Xu Lanzhou looked at Bai Zhongqi speak with confidence, she was somewhat dazzled and mesmerized. She also understood why Bai Zhongqi was now insistent on waging such a war. More and more data was gathering, and Bai Zhongqi was quite certain he could build a space fleet with considerable fighting capability within two years, at least hopeful against the first wave of the Teizene expeditionary fleet.
With this issue of the Teizene people, Bai Zhongqi had already expanded the rule of the Star Alliance across the entire planet; Earth was now the Capital Star or the mother star of the Star Alliance in the Second Universe.
At this time, the people of Iridium Star were no longer considered an alien civilization but more like a subordinate ethnicity within the Star Alliance. Essentially, alien civilizations could now be considered part of Earth's civilization.
To unite a large group of people, a common enemy is needed. To make a civilization stronger and more constructive, it is necessary to involve them in doing the same thing, creating a sense of glory and a shared historical experience.
The United Empire of Iridium Star is just such a case; this mighty nation is not just the race of Iridium Star people but includes many other species, and because they all obey the Supreme Command, they have embarked on a unified path.
