Chapter 787: Chapter 129 First Time_2
“Mr. Xu Mo, Mr. President, the Star System Alliance has intervened in this war, and Camp Star has also contacted us, demanding that we hand over everyone and punish the culprit of this incident,” said a diplomat responsible for interstellar affairs, addressing Xu Mo and Liu Feng.
This was to be expected. Xu Mo had led the fleet to attack the Federation Pseudo Government and taken control of the Alien Fleet. The Star System Alliance would inevitably intervene; as for Camp Star’s demands, they could be outright ignored. Punishing the culprits? Were they to punish themselves?
Liu Feng looked at Xu Mo, as he was not aware of the alien situation and did not know what Xu Mo’s attitude toward the Star System Alliance would be. Therefore, it was not appropriate for him to respond. It was more suitable for Xu Mo to reply.
“Respond to the Star System Alliance that a few years ago, Camp Star led an alien control over the Byron Star Federation Government, committing many crimes on Byron Star. Now, we have merely taken back control of the government and are prosecuting the crimes they committed. Byron Star requests that the Star System Alliance look back into the past and severely punish the acts of war and aggression by Camp Star for violating the alliance covenant,” Xu Mo said.
Upon hearing Xu Mo’s words, the diplomat was slightly stunned, and Liu Feng also looked at Xu Mo with surprise. A counter-accusation?
Ignoring Camp Star’s demands and also asking the Star System Alliance to punish Camp Star’s invasion actions?
“Do as I said, and choose your words carefully,” Xu Mo continued, and the diplomat nodded and left.
“Well, if the Star System Alliance wants to question this incident, they will also have to consider what happened a few years ago,” Liu Feng said. “However, Byron Star’s influence is still too weak; the Star System Alliance might still support Camp Star more.”
“No, they won’t,” Xu Mo replied, Liu Feng looked at him with some surprise.
“Among the seven permanent council stars of the Star System Alliance, Blue Star Energy Technology Group has three allies,” Xu Mo said. “Moreover, of the other four major planets, there are bound to be some abstentions. If Camp Star goes to complain to the Star System Alliance, it would be foolish.”
Liu Feng blinked, looking at Xu Mo.
“Three?” he asked, ‘Three out of the seven permanent council stars are corporate allies?’
“It was originally four, but something happened on Lucas Star,” Xu Mo explained. If it hadn’t been for the incident on Lucas Star, with the relationship between Elizabeth and Izekat, they could have secured Lucas Star’s support.
However, even now, if Camp Star wants revenge, they will have to do it themselves; relying on the Star System Alliance is highly unlikely.
Furthermore, if Camp Star considers attacking, they will have to consider their allies in the Star System Alliance.
Liu Feng, speechless at Xu Mo’s response, wondered what he had been doing during his two years on Lucas Star?
Star System Alliance permanent council star allies?
He finally understood why Xu Mo dared to launch an attack so decisively and deal with Camp Star using tough measures. It seemed Xu Mo was not acting on a whim but had reliable support.
“How about the monster extermination?” Liu Feng broached another topic. On Byron Star, the area occupied by ruins speckled with monsters far exceeded the urban area, seemingly endless, with countless numbers of monsters. How could this be resolved?
“Detect the energy fluctuations emitted by the top-tier monsters, deal directly from top to down, first eliminate the SS-grade monsters, then the S-grade ones. Once the weapons at the base are mass-produced and the city starts expanding, the monsters’ habitat will be continuously compressed. We’ll earmark an area where the presence of monsters is allowed; that place will become their gathering habitat,” Xu Mo explained.
Although there are many monsters on Byron Star, the number of the top-tier SS-grade monsters and S-grade monsters is limited to a certain range. Once these giants are dealt with, the other monsters are no longer a threat. Moreover, the monsters themselves have intelligence; they understand the big picture.
As long as they leave a gap, the monsters will naturally understand and over time, become wild beasts kept by humans in a fixed area.
“If the monster threat can be resolved, the expansion of human territory is of great significance for human development,” Liu Feng nodded, increasingly looking forward to the future of Byron Star.
After arranging everything, Xu Mo finally had some rare downtime; the upcoming tasks no longer required his involvement.
The Federation Pseudo Government of Byron Star had collapsed, but the new government still had many capable people, along with members of the Divine Sword Bureau and the military. Moreover, to face potential future crises and the development of Byron Star, at least for now, there were no conflicts of power struggle at the top level.
If such signs emerged now, Xu Mo would not hesitate to extinguish them, just like Elder Xiang, who still harbored hopes of regaining power. How could Xu Mo allow such a thing to happen within the new Federation? Family influences must be thoroughly cleaned. If they remained stubborn, then harsh measures would be necessary.
In peaceful times, with no external crises, power needs to be decentralized, mutually checked and balanced to achieve relative fairness.
But in times of war, with severe external threats, power must be centralized. Otherwise, internal strife for power and profit obstructs responding to external crises.
Currently, Byron Star was clearly in an era of crisis. They needed to develop as quickly as possible to grow strong enough during the period when the Mandala United Kingdom waged war, so as not to fall to dust in the interstellar wars.
