Chapter 728: Chapter 101 Major General Gilson
Blue Star Energy Technology Group completely caught fire after live streaming the military operation; various Mechanical Groups from Lucas Star approached them seeking collaboration.
Not only Lucas Star but also the Sasi Kingdom and Carolan Star, after learning that Blue Star Energy Technology Group was building a branch there, all wanted to buy in and cooperate.
Previously, the popularity of Blue Star Energy Technology Group had certain limitations, but this time, they completely broke through boundaries. Moreover, the event continued to ferment, being discussed with keen interest, and it became a hot topic that caused a sensation.
According to calculations by relevant institutions, Blue Star Energy Technology Group’s market value might multiply several times after this event.
Elizabeth, Ross, and Sorey also became hot search names.
At the same time, there were some voices in the Lucas Star Capital questioning why the Lucas Star Alliance Government, as the star where Blue Star Energy Technology Group is located, did not participate in this operation, but instead, it was the fleets from the Sasi Kingdom that were dispatched in the largest numbers.
The main ship purchased by Blue Star Energy Technology Group from the Sasi Kingdom was mistaken for a fleet dispatched by the Sasi Kingdom.
Ross, although he tactfully avoided the topic during the press conference and deliberately did not mention it, still sparked considerable discussion.
Lucas University Library.
Several days had passed since that military operation, but the controversy had yet to subside.
This operation plunged Blue Star Energy Technology Group into significant debt; military operations are costly, each shell fired represents burning money, and the expense required to deploy a few fleets to other planets to wage war is an immense figure, which a regular company simply cannot afford. Maintaining fleets is generally something only the topmost financial consortia and governments can manage.
However, Xu Mo did not see any issue with initiating this battle. Under such circumstances, waging this war was necessary; otherwise, Blue Star Energy Technology Group would face the risk of going bankrupt.
In fact, the benefits yielded by the battle far exceeded expectations. Not to mention the spoils of war and future base developments, the mere influence gained this time was enough to bring in significant profits for Blue Star Energy Technology Group. According to Sister Butterfly, their orders had exploded again.
Estimates suggested that not only did this military operation not result in losses, it was actually exceptionally beneficial for the development of Blue Star Energy Technology Group.
The current problem for Blue Star Energy was that their production capacity couldn’t keep up with the number of orders; they needed to expand rapidly and keep investing new bases into production. In the future, they aimed to forge an ‘Empire’ surrounding the Star System Alliance.
At that moment, Xu Mo was searching for a book in front of the library shelves when a figure approached. Though she seemed to be looking for a book herself, she unconsciously ended up next to Xu Mo.
“Do you need something from me?” Elizabeth asked, her tone cool and distant. Ever since the ‘exposure of truth’, this had been her attitude, of course, except in front of Zero.
“On Austin Star, we have identified the person who passed messages to the Olay family,” Xu Mo said in a low voice.
“Who?” Elizabeth looked at Xu Mo, a glint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Their previous guess had been that someone within the Lucas Star Alliance Government had been passing messages to the Olay family. If confirmed, this would be an act of assassination against Blue Star Energy Technology Group by an insider of the Lucas Star Federation Government.
“General Gilson, Major General of the Lucas Star Federation. The message wasn’t directly relayed by him, but it’s certain that he was the one who directly orchestrated it,” Xu Mo spoke softly to Elizabeth, an icy killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Through the thought processes of Olay X, they gathered that Gilson was a military man from Lucas Star; hence, he had dealings with the Olay family from Austin Star, and even Olay X was somewhat afraid of this Major General from the Lucas Star Federation.
It was Gilson’s people who passed the message to Olay X, resulting in the attack on the spaceship and the execution of over two hundred people.
As they had suspected, this was a conspiracy, a murderous act against more than two hundred people.
“Major General Gilson.” Elizabeth’s expression became somewhat unpleasant.
Clearly, Elizabeth knew the Major General.
Major General Gilson had an extremely illustrious reputation in the Lucas Star Federation; he was a genius Transcendent who originated from the Cross Judgment Institute. Later, he joined the military and performed exceptionally, repeatedly breaking promotion records to become the youngest Major General of the Lucas Star Federation Government.
Gilson was involved in targeting Blue Star Energy Technology Group, yet Elizabeth had not had much contact with Major General Gilson and certainly no enmity. Blue Star Energy Technology Group could not have possibly offended the Major General.
Therefore, there was only one possibility: Major General Gilson must have been acting under someone’s orders.
The ones who could order a Major General to act, and who had some grievances with them, were most likely the Ministry of Defense; they had deeply offended Douglas, and Douglas had always been associated with Prince Charles.
“How should we deal with this?” Elizabeth was unsure what to do and habitually sought advice from Xu Mo, although she was cold to Xu Mo, deep down she still trusted him a lot. After all, Xu Mo was the teacher.
“We shouldn’t publicize this widely; you can find an opportunity to subtly disclose this matter to His Majesty the King. Be indirect about it, don’t pursue it further, just imply enough,” Xu Mo advised. “The King will understand the rest.”
Given the situation, the carrier could have forced Olay X to publicly reveal it, but he did not. If Olay X had made it public then, they would have been unable to control the aftermath and would have had no way out.
