Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 171: Official Founding of the Nation
"Did that Xinghai territory really sign a non-aggression treaty with the alien race?" Shangguan Dongge, the commander of the Western Region of the Blue River Empire, asked his deputy with a surprised look on his face: "Why sign this? They are strong enough to divide this star region with us."

Deputy Commander Chen Huixiang said with a smile: "They want to reap the benefits. Warships also need resources to build. We don't know where their home territory is yet. This is probably just an expeditionary force. In the case of difficult logistics support, we should save as much as possible."

Shangguan Dongge stroked his chin and looked at the information with interest: "Interesting, they are on the edge of my Blue River Empire and are ready to take advantage of my Blue River Empire. Should we say that they are good-tempered, or are they blinded by the current state of the empire? Do they really think that we can't send more troops?"

"Who knows? But the other party is a human force. Even if we have a conflict with them, the possibility of a real fight is not high. I guess it's because of this that they are so confident in competing with us for the control of this star field." Chen Huixiang guessed.

"Well, you are right. We can't attack them directly. The Human Union has long wanted to intervene in the internal affairs of the empire. Once we take the initiative, the other party will report to the Human Union, which is equivalent to giving them an excuse. Maybe the other party appears here because of the Human Union's push." ​​Shangguan Dongge scratched his head in distress. He was a soldier and it was not his business to consider the affairs of the government, but now he had to take precautions.

"Tell your subordinates to be careful. If the other party does not take the initiative to cause trouble, do not engage in large-scale conflicts with them. A little friction is fine. Soldiers have hot tempers. Everyone understands this."

Chen Huixiang smiled and nodded. In fact, they didn't take the Xinghai Territory seriously at all. They were more concerned about whether there were other forces behind it. No matter how down and out the Blue River Empire was, it was still an old empire. Its strong men and fleets were no worse than those of the same level civilizations.

"These alien coalition forces are about to collapse. They are going to contact the Star Sea Territory, which shows that they don't have enough troops and are afraid that the Star Sea Territory will attack them from behind and blow them up. Next, we must continue to advance steadily and step by step, consume their manpower, and completely destroy this fleet and take over the territory of this star field before their industrial system recovers." Shangguan Dongge's target has always been this star field. After successfully expanding the territory for the empire, his military rank, his medals, and his title will all have to be moved up.

After thinking for a while, Chen Huixiang said, "Why don't we send an envoy to the Xinghai Territory openly?"

Shangguan Dongge was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the other party and laughed: "You are still cunning, Chen Laogui. Not only send, but also bring a large number of goods and supplies. Don't come back after a short time."

"Hahaha... let's see if they will follow us or not!" The two men smiled at each other. This was purely an open conspiracy, and the Star Sea Territory was also a human force. How could these alien races stabilize the other side without paying a heavy price?

And even if they really paid enough, would they really be confident that the other party would not break the agreement and send troops? You have to have defense, you have to consume supplies, you have to disperse your energy, and you have to prepare some fleets. No matter how much combat power these alien forces can be restrained, they will gain!

The Blue River Empire quickened the tempo of its attack. Tens of thousands of legions pressed towards the alien coalition fleet like a dark cloud. Dozens of psychic warships carrying several times more high-level psychics shuttled across the battlefield, occasionally concentrating their fire to clear a passage, allowing the imperial fleet to penetrate the enemy's line, split their defenses, and surround their fleet.

The alien joint fleet was defeated all the way, and the defense lines they built were constantly broken. The defending side had a casualty ratio of four to one, which was a huge loss.

When the fighting was intense at the front, an envoy group escorted by a fleet of a legion openly headed for the Star Sea Territory. There were tens of thousands of transport ships loaded with all kinds of scarce materials. This fleet was more of a merchant group than an envoy group.

The alien race quickly determined their target through the direction of the envoys and immediately became anxious.

The fleet of the Blue River Empire increased its attack intensity, and they had to withdraw troops from other directions to join the defense. Once the tens of thousands of legions of the Star Sea Territory took the initiative to attack their rear, the existing defense force would be doomed to collapse at the first touch.

By then, they will be attacked from both sides, and even their own native territories will be taken away, let alone retaining the existing territorial scope.

In a hurry, the alien race once again gathered a group of envoys to go to the Xinghai Territory, ready to pay money to appease the Xinghai Territory's fleet.

They are also short of supplies, so the only thing they can offer now is to cede territory in exchange for peace.

Liu Wen is currently unaware of the affairs of the Blue River Empire and the Alien Alliance. He is still busy integrating the resources of the Xinghai Galaxy.

There are a large number of planets with life in the Xinghai galaxy. Many star systems were damaged by the war, and gravitational disorder was disrupted and stars were in turmoil.

During the construction of a large number of engineering ships, these star systems will be carefully sorted out to stabilize the gravitational circle and repair the life planets.

A large amount of resources were sent back to the industrial zone by the transport fleet. Resource planets reappeared in the void. Hundreds of large-scale space smelting and forging plants operated at full capacity, handling massive amounts of materials every moment.

The galaxy's defense system has been initially constructed and is currently being rapidly filled with space fortresses and armed forces. After signing the non-aggression pact, the three groups have also been broken up into branch fleets to patrol around the galaxy.

The original location of the three army groups was also built into a military base, with long-range fire support points deployed around the star system for the transformation of planets.

"Zhao Nina, how long will it take to build the galaxy defense system?" Liu Wen asked.

Zhao Nina replied: "Lord, it is estimated that the initial deployment of armed forces will be completed in two months. The next step is to continuously strengthen the defense system and update the armed equipment. This is a continuous construction along with the technological strength of the territory. It is estimated that the resources invested will reach 30,000 planetary units."

The so-called planetary unit is based on a standard planet with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers. Armaments built with the same volume of materials are a planetary unit.

Liu Wen nodded. Thirty thousand planetary units were still within the acceptable range. For a star sea territory with five star systems, it would just take a little more time to collect.

"Michel, what's the status of the fleet?"

Michelle smiled and said, "My Lord, the fleet has now reached a full strength of 10,000 troops, and the production of conventional warships has slowed down."

"In addition, the 1,670 military academies in the territory can provide the fleet with more than 350 million qualified soldiers every year."

"With the old bringing up the new, these newcomers will soon be able to master the combat skills of warships." "Yes, 300 million to 400 million new recruits every year is enough to steadily expand the fleet. Li Bingzhen, you can stop expanding the military academy and continue to focus on the training of scientific researchers. Currently, there are only more than 300 million scientific researchers in the territory, and less than 100,000 of them are high-level. This amount of manpower is too little for a level nine interstellar civilization." Liu Wen turned to Li Bingzhen and said.

Li Bingzhen nodded and said, "Okay, Lord, I will implement the relevant policies as soon as possible."

"It's just that, Lord, the population of the territory is currently increasing at a rate of 100 billion every ten years. Do we need to adjust our current birth policy?"

"Why reduce it? What's the population? Less than two trillion. A territory as big as ours would require at least ten trillion to fill it. This policy won't need to be reduced even a little bit for at least a hundred years." Fat Blue was the first to refuse. Population is power, and with a larger base, the chances of producing elite talents will increase.

The current subjects are injected with the first generation of gene optimization drugs from birth. With improvements from generation to generation, their intelligence and survival abilities are increasing rapidly.

The average life expectancy of the citizens in the territory is now over a thousand years. With such a long lifespan, they can master several skills by self-study. As time goes by, the development of the territory will accelerate.

To restrict population growth now would undoubtedly cut off the territory's golden development time in the future, which is absolutely not advisable.

"But now the territory's fiscal expenditure is too high. It is impossible to balance the territory's economy by relying solely on taxes." Li Bingzhen argued.

"The territory does not lack the money for training. If it really does, we can go outside and get some resources back, or open up military orders and immigration planets, and we will naturally have money." The blue fat man would rather use resources and planet development as capital than reduce fiscal spending under population growth. The present is hard, but the future is bright, so we cannot be short-sighted.

Liu Wen tapped the table with his finger. "Okay, the population policy of the territory cannot be shaken for the time being. It must be maintained until the population reaches more than 10 trillion. When people get older, the willingness of couples who have had children to have more children will drop drastically, and the population growth rate will naturally slow down. There is no need to deliberately slow it down."

“In addition, the territory’s financial issues must also be considered.”

"How about this? We will subcontract the immigration planet development projects in these star systems and let the people of the territory participate. According to the plan, it will take 50 years to develop the five star systems to complete the preliminary structure of the administrative star domain. This time is just right for promoting the development of the territory's economy."

"The last thing is that the time for the official establishment of the territory is basically determined. It will be five years later. The Xinghai Galaxy will be initially developed for immigration, and the construction of the capital star will be completed."

"Good!" Everyone applauded. It was a cause for celebration. It was finally confirmed!

After the meeting, everyone returned to their posts with smiles on their faces and worked on their affairs with high energy, while also thinking about how the existing plans could be further improved.

After everyone left, Liu Wen and Fatty Blue sat together, with a large star system projection in the middle.

"Boss, wouldn't it be inappropriate to build a stellar megastructure? A stellar megastructure can accommodate trillions of people without any problem, but we have no shortage of territory. Placing the population too concentrated together is not conducive to the development of the territory." Jack didn't understand why the boss chose to build the capital planet into a stellar megastructure.

The blue fat man also advised: "Yes, boss, the stellar megastructure is too fragile. Once a war breaks out, a high-level combat force from the opposite side can easily detonate the star and blow the stellar megastructure into ashes. The disadvantages are too great."

"But have you ever thought about this: if the star system that serves as the capital star is invaded by the enemy, what will happen to the Star Sea Territory? It doesn't matter whether the population is dispersed or not."

Liu Wen explained: "And the population is also for the convenience of settling in the small universe. If a large-scale war breaks out and the territory shows signs of defeat, the population can be immediately migrated to the small universe. This is actually the best way to protect the population. But if the population is dispersed, it will take a lot of time to gather the population together. In that case, we may not have that opportunity."

Jack still shook his head: "This advantage is not enough to cover up its disadvantages. Star megastructures are indeed convenient for migration, but they require too much material. At least we have to dismantle the material of a dozen star systems to build them. Too much time and resources are invested, and the cost performance is too poor."

Liu Wen patiently said: "The star-level megastructure also has another function, which is to carry the later level nine rule-level technology. The two blue giants orbiting the star-level megastructure can also provide sufficient energy expenditure for the rule-level weapons."

"Besides, the rule level is not our limit. In a few decades, we may even be able to master the concept level. At this time, the stellar megastructure can truly become the core of the universe, gather the territories of several galaxies, and leave whenever we want. No one can do anything to us."

Fat Blue and Jack saw that the boss had made up his mind and knew that persuasion was useless, so they stopped arguing and let the boss build it. Who knows, he might figure it out later.

A few days later, the envoys of the Blue River Empire's frontline fleet arrived outside the Xinghai Galaxy, and the huge fleet instantly attracted a lot of attention.

The alien envoy group that followed was much simpler, with less than a hundred spaceships. Compared with the Blue River envoy group, it was too thin.

At this time, Liu Wen also knew the intentions of both parties. The Blue River Empire said it was coming on a diplomatic mission, but in fact it was coming to do business. A large amount of supplies poured into the market, and commercial transactions with the Star Sea Territory were in full swing. As for persuading Liu Wen to send troops and attack the alien civilization from the front and back with the Blue River Empire fleet, they just said it casually and ignored it.

Only the alien civilizations were really anxious, fearing that the Blue River Envoys would use the relationship with humans to persuade Liu Wen, so they simply offered the territories of two star systems in the hope of stabilizing the Star Sea territory.

However, these two territories will not be handed over now, but will have to wait until the war on the front line is about to end, regardless of whether they win or lose.

At this time, the envoys of the Blue River Empire also learned from various channels that the Xinghai Territory was planning to establish a country. The envoys knew that this matter was of great importance, so they quickly sent the information back.
