Chapter 781: Chapter 432, Fighting a War is Like Burning Money_3
Arno Chinko, this is Osenia’s younger brother.
Back then, on Rage Owl Star, Osenia came to Mr. Gu’s camp as a refugee, not alone, but with her brother.
Escaping from the pus-filled monsters and famine at home, Osenia suffered untold hardships along the way, barely managing to save Arno Chinko’s life.
Fourteen years have passed since then.
The little boy, who was only eleven at the time, is now a fine young man.
After Osenia rose to a high position, the young man’s living conditions improved significantly, and he also received the best education the Alliance had to offer.
He lived up to expectations, his grades always impressive.
He graduated two years ago.
With his achievements, he could have had a bright future; having the identity of Osenia’s brother made it easy to land a high position.
However, on one hand, Osenia herself was somewhat worried, being a Prime Minister was like walking on thin ice, with enormous pressure every day. Bringing her brother into this might invite controversy; on the other hand, Arno himself had no interest in politics or becoming a civil servant.
He once thought about joining the military, but eventually, Osenia persuaded him to go to Lambert’s place.
Although some connections were still used, Lambert’s law center is an institution parallel to the Alliance Government.
Then, the young man forcefully made his way into the most unsafe among many institutions under Lambert: the Alliance Central Investigation Bureau.
This is one of the top three external intelligence agencies of the Alliance.
During his two-year training, he performed exceptionally well; especially recently, with a performance that seemed to suddenly blossom, he quickly became one of the best newcomers in the Central Investigation Bureau.
Of course, it was only after Isaacson, the director, reported this to Lambert that he became aware of it.
Lambert himself was too busy to personally check the training performance of a young agent.
If he were to be honest, he was a bit skeptical at the beginning.
Perhaps Arno did perform well, but to be called ‘the best’ could very likely be an exaggeration due to his identity.
But he still shared the news with Osenia, to give the sister a bit of joy.
Back then, he thought Isaacson had ‘improved’, knowing to say things that please the ear, and knowing to exaggerate a bit the achievements of someone with a special identity like Arno.
He wasn’t sure whether to be happy or worried.
But now, it seems that the truth is not as such.
Isaacson is still the same Isaacson; Arno is probably indeed the best agent, hence being assigned such an important mission.
And indeed, Isaacson didn’t consider the identity issue at all, strictly adhering to sending the most suitable person to the most suitable place.
Lambert knew this was right, that’s how it should be.
Had he become a little forgetful of his original aspirations?
Was it as Isaacson said, that his own judgment was beginning to falter?
He couldn’t help but begin to reflect on himself.
During this process, Isaacson sat upright and proper in front of him.
“Alright, you can go back now. Pay close attention to this mission, it has nothing to do with the young man’s identity, it’s an important mission for the Alliance, and we cannot afford mistakes!”
“Yes!” Isaacson stood up; after a moment’s hesitation, he still asked, “What about Prime Minister Osenia?”
“I will speak to her.”
After watching Isaacson leave, Lambert made a call to Osenia, explaining the situation.
Osenia was silent for a long time.
Just as Lambert started to feel unsettled, worried that the Alliance Premier was very angry and about to explode, Osenia’s voice finally came through:
Purple Horse Sector, Baishuo Star.
This is the capital planet of the Purple Horse Sector, classified as a civilized world, with a population of nine billion, and an economic development level of 2.
Although lacking any outstanding specialty products, as a civilized world, the overall productivity cannot be too shoddy; people here live a fairly good life, and the little shipyards at the starport can even build some civilian ships.
The entire Purple Horse Sector has a population of thirty-eight billion across seventeen worlds. Apart from Capital Hundred Shuo Star, the many other worlds are also quite decent, without any particular lagging behind, and there are even several with a development level of 2.
Besides the Tianma Star Sector, Seven Horse Territory’s Purple Horse is the best developed.
Leader of Purple Horse—Ms. Isquier Zelos, has a decent grip on the entire sector, backed by the support of the sector’s governors.
With high support and substantial strength, among the neighboring star sectors, she is the most resolute against the Seven Horse Pact.
From her perspective, supporting the Alliance in the Green Skins war is natural, but signing the Seven Horse Pact is unnecessary.
The former is the duty of an imperial star sector head, while the latter means a change of nature.
Wouldn’t that mean incorporating Purple Horse Sector into the control of the Alliance?
Not officially joining the Alliance, but nearly the same as changing all officials and governmental bodies of all planets to the model of the Alliance.
What independence would there be in administration, military, or economics when all resources must be at the disposal of others, doing whatever they command?
This stance also garnered support from many governors within the Purple Horse Sector.
They heard that the planetary governors of Tianma Star Sector are all honorary positions, either directly managed by the famous Mr. Gu or remotely held by Alliance high officials, without any real power.
