The Astartes Family's Notebook

From Isela's words, we can infer that there is probably a white bean sprout behind the black bean sprout.

However, out of caution, Katz did not assume that these white bean sprouts were necessarily the troublemakers in the Usvi Ark world.

However, the Ark Eldar are even less tactful than the Dark Eldar.

In such turbulent times, the port's administrators would naturally not refuse military support from Astartes like Katz.

"What if they are really that stupid and pedantic and refuse us?"

After listening, Trois felt that Katz's plan was too presumptuous. The leader seemed to assume that all those he contacted were rational and could make judgments based on rational thinking.

Kaz stopped and glanced at Trois.

Are you fallen angels too full of humanity?

"If they don't want to be dignified, then help them be dignified. Do I need to teach them that?"

Chapter 435 Stir-fried Beef Noodles

If the enemy is within range, then you are too.

Ignorant courage is worthless in the face of rational bullets.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

You are Astartes, you have the biggest fist, and whatever you say goes.

Troys found it very valuable to learn from the methods used by the old man Kaz.

It's so crude, so very crude. The typical Astartes just spouts "mortals" all the time, it's so lacking in artistry.

So it has to be the leader, his words are full of philosophical depth.

So, are the Samar brothers veterans of the Terran Legion?

While the King of Internal Strife was still grappling with his own mental anguish, Katz was genuinely considering the issues from the perspective of the Starport's administrators.

After all, the evil little mage Vega once said: If the roles were reversed, I would show you what cruelty is!

After babbling on and on without getting to the point, Kaz, sensing the atmosphere was right, took over the conversation.

"You're not thinking that since you're going to return to the Golden Throne anyway, it doesn't matter whether you live or die, are you?"

"!!!"

"???"

Seeing the shock and fear in the other party's astonished expression, Kaz was once again speechless at the human empire of the trenches.

You actually think that way?

"So do you see yourself as an exploiter or a worker?"

Clearly, becoming a visible manager of Star Harbor means he has infiltrated the predatory class.

Who are you calling a working-class person? Even if you are Astartes, you can't slander someone's innocence for no reason. Who are you calling a working-class person?

I'm a startup partner, a partner!

Is this a case of deceiving oneself into believing that the business owner isn't a sole proprietor, and even fooling oneself into doing so?

Trois, wanting to save face for them, was about to take matters into his own hands, but Katz stopped him with a wave of his hand.

“Our friend actually understands all these principles; he understands everything, but he simply has no choice.”

"Therefore, we must help our friends solve their problems and find a way out for them."

What is most important for a starport?

It means opening the door to welcome guests and bringing wealth from all directions.

What is the most important thing in running a business?

It's about rules, order, and how others perceive you as following the rules.

The port area's administrators really have no idea who the big shots behind this Star Harbor are.

There was no other choice.

So what Kaz is doing is not selecting and promoting people, but lifting them off the ground by the neck and constantly asking them if they will confess.

If you want others to cooperate with you, it's very important to put yourself in their shoes; you have to give them room to choose.

"Right?"

Like the whispers of a demon, the administrators wavered.

If Starport is destined to be plundered and looted, then why can't the plunderers be "us," "our own people"?

"Boss, this wasn't the plan when you told me about it."

"Hey, Trois, plans can change in an instant. You have to learn to adapt to circumstances."

Katz never doubted the power of the masses, just as he never believed in their wisdom.

Human nature cannot withstand the test.

When Katz proposed a feasible solution, the managers wavered.

Because he actually understands everything.

Senior partner, isn't that just a high-level employee, the best of the best, a marbled, fat beef, the finest ingredient.

The protectors behind Starport don't care about the millions of people in the void. As long as the place exists, there are as many people as needed to work.

So whether it's black bean sprouts or white bean sprouts, even if these Aidalings plunder all the wealth accumulated in the entire starport, as long as the starport itself remains intact...

As long as the starport remains largely intact, the great figures of the Empire will not actually fight to the death with the Eldar for a "non-existent" starport.

As for the living, breathing people on Star Harbor, the gentlemen are kind-hearted and can't bear to see suffering.

"But boss, the Starport Authority only has a few hundred thugs responsible for collecting taxes. What use are they?"

"Trois, if the name is not correct, the words will not be proper. You must remember this principle."

The military forces at the disposal of the Starport administrators are indeed very limited, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are utterly inadequate.

However, Holy Terra was able to maintain the human empire for ten thousand years without falling apart through inertia and military force, and the same logic applies to this starport.

Those who truly possess military power are precisely the large and small human pirate groups that are currently conquering the epic difficulty raid, the "Ishimura".

Katz wasn't lacking in the means and strength to unify this rabble, but time was of the essence.

To expect them to fight for the glory of the Empire, to sacrifice their lives for Astartes...

Having such a dream is less desirable than hoping that the emperor will rise from his golden throne tomorrow.

Therefore, the prescription that Kaz gave to the Starport administrators was essentially the "Reverse Fire Dragon Burning the Warehouse" method.

Since Star Harbor is "destined" to be looted, why can't I have a share of the looted goods?

Earning a few percentage points for guarding the gang's territory is certainly a secure income, but if you engage in a double-cross, the thief crying "stop thief!", you could afford to have life-extending surgeries for the next two hundred years.

The Astartes and the Eldarin are such perfect scapegoats! If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get another chance.

"But Boss, a rabble is still a rabble. Those space pirates are fine when things are going well, but they're all useless when they encounter tough opponents. Give me enough time, and I can take care of them all by myself."

Trois's statement was true; Astartes possessed an absolute military advantage, and if they were willing to play a cat-and-mouse game, pirate groups would indeed be no match for them.

"But we don't have that much time."

Kaz was so considerate of the Starport Insects, yet he wasn't planning to cultivate anything in this deep space dark harbor.

The bat cubs were prepared to use Katz as a shield, but Katz had never trusted these midnight ghosts.

After dealing with the black bean sprouts, obtaining the gene seed from the Eldar woman named Ysera, and seizing enough benefits amidst the chaos, Kaz prepared to make his escape.

As for the future of Star Harbor...

Katz isn't the behind-the-scenes protector of this Starport, so what business is it of his of the Starport's future?

Ruthless and calculating, Trois was completely convinced. Only the Samar brothers, with their personalities, could lead the Warband to a bright future.

As it turns out, people die for wealth and birds die for food; Katz merely opened the floodgates of desire, and the Starport administrators convinced themselves quite quickly.

Ultimately, a fortress is easiest to breach from within.

Since you want to use me as a scapegoat, isn't it only natural for me to think more about myself?

The first thing to do is to take care of the "watchdogs" that the financial backers have planted in Starport.

Without eliminating these corrupt imperial nobles disguised as space pirates, the subsequent plans cannot proceed at all.

And it's only natural for space pirate groups to fight and merge, isn't it, Lord Astartes?

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

Where there's a major lapse in thinking, there's always a way to overcome difficulties.

Kaz started this, so it's only right that he step forward and do something.

"So why should I do your work?"

Isera felt that something was amiss.

"You can't find any clues about the Usvi Ark, right? If you don't stir up this stagnant pool in Starport, where will you find any clues?"

Is that correct?

Yes, yes, my bean sprout brother.

Originally, with Kaz, Troys, and Choun, the three Astartes could have handled the job.

But it's not in the style of the Grand Secretary to not use readily available thugs.

Thus, the Eldar Warlord of Atansar and her elite guards completed the complete purge of the pirate camp's stronghold in just three minutes.

However, Ysera felt no sense of accomplishment from her public display of power.

The intelligence provided by Kaz was far too detailed. Ysera simply led a team to kill a few people somewhere, which was nothing to brag about and didn't even have the effect of deterring others with force.

And that is precisely what Katz wanted.

Or perhaps it was also the purpose of the Starport administrators.

The Adarin race has never given up on destroying us. Fellow commanders, if we don't unite, Starport will have no future.

So what if we don't have him? We'll just eat hairy pork if we leave Zhang the butcher. It's not a big deal. We can always start over in a different sector.

It certainly wasn't a conference that fostered unity, but it was definitely a conference that brought about victory.

Those without stable property lack a stable mind.

Those guys who are indecisive and run away when things happen, why don't they hurry up and deal with them? They're just going to save them for next year's Emperor's Ascension Day.

Despite facing external enemies, the human pirate groups that actually controlled the military first engaged in a fierce battle.

However, the remaining guys either actively or passively participated in the port authority's "Fire Dragon Burning the Warehouse" plan.

Since the men's share is destined to be lost, it's better for everyone to share it than for those long-eared Aidalings to snatch it away.

I've finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?

Great, since everyone agrees, let's get to work.

Thus, the local forces of Starport, who were originally indifferent to the matter, strongly intervened in the conflict between the Dark Eldar and the Batchildren.

Kaz's series of shrewd maneuvers left the remnants of the Eighth Legion completely bewildered.

No, buddy, we've skinned and dismembered them, built mounds of corpses and piled up mountains of bones, yet these mortals still move like toads when poked. How did you manage that?

Of course, it's about mobilizing people's initiative; how else could it be done?

Humans, this race, don't feel tired when doing bad things, especially when they can also benefit themselves from doing bad things. They're like nuclear-powered oxen and horses, directly challenging the second law of thermodynamics, practically a perpetual motion machine of the fifth kind.

"So, by creating chaos in Starport, you can help me find my Eldar compatriots on Usvi's Ark?"

Ysera didn't mind doing some work for her ally while they were in a temporary alliance, but she couldn't understand Kaz's actions, so the War God was very dissatisfied and came to confront her.

"Of course, have you ever heard of searching mountains and seas?"

"what?!"

Kaz's fighting style is not new; it's simply that the current Empire has lost its historical heritage.

Isn't this the same tactic used by bandits who coerced starving people during the famine in ancient Terra?
