Chapter 1029: Buying an official position?
Yang Bo looked at the clothes he was wearing. The style of these clothes was similar to the clothes of the nobles of the Shuilan Empire. These big figures in the Federation were basically warlords, because without some force in the hands of the Federation, there was no way they could keep their wealth.
So in terms of cultural heritage, the Federation is a little bit inferior. When the Federation was on its home planet, it was a United Emirates. This United Emirates was a nation, but this nation was divided into several factions based on religion and race.
In the early days, this emirate had many countries, and it was very poor. Later, oil was discovered, and oil on the home planet was used as the main energy source. Therefore, under the interference of other major powers on the home star, the various countries in the emirate fell into war.
Later, these countries looked at it and thought, this is not good. We have so much oil, but we are still so poor. The money from selling oil is not enough to buy weapons.
So these countries formed an emirate in an attempt to monopolize energy.
It is also because of the development of science and technology that other major countries do not need oil as their main energy source, so the emirate was successfully established.
The emirate also relied on the last glory of oil energy to invest heavily in science and technology, and eventually became one of the three interstellar giants.
The emirates have had friction with each other since their establishment, and it's because of land.
Because oil is underground, whoever has more land will be able to allocate enough money.
Moreover, in the same oil field, half belongs to one and half to that. The two families often have conflicts. You pump more oil and I pump less oil.
Some even cited history and said that this place used to be mine, so the internal conflicts in this emirate were quite serious.
Later, in the process of developing the interstellar world, because the emirate's own technology was not too high and it developed too late, companies from some major countries took the opportunity to join in.
This has led to the chaotic situation in the federation today, if we look at it according to the system.
The original culture of the Federation has been completely impacted by the culture of the Empire and the Alliance. There is no way, because if you want to buy other people's things and other people's technology, you have to learn other people's writing.
Indirectly, I learned other people’s culture.
Therefore, the history and culture of the Federation cannot be clarified at all, and the historical records are contradictory and do not even acknowledge each other.
Because most of the countries before the emirate were hostile, you would kill each other, and I would massacre you. If historical records accept one version, wouldn’t other people become invaders or something like that.
So now these guys in the Federation are following the tricks of the imperial nobles to show their status.
Yang Bo didn't react in any other way. Monica just put on the clothes she chose.
This cocktail party was very high-end, and it was all funded by Black Star Company. This is also the style of the Mecha Masters Union.
The mecha division union's reception was sponsored by many people.
"We welcome our protagonist today, Grand Master John Li!" The host shouted loudly when Yang Bo entered the reception.
"Thank you."
"I'm glad to meet you all here, and thank you to the trade union for recognizing me." Yang Bo said politely.
Maria is wearing a black dress, but this figure...
"This is His Excellency Su Xingwang, President of the Senate of Karaya State." Maria began to introduce the guests with Yang Bo.
"We have talents like Mr. Li in Karaya, but we have neglected them before." Su Xingwang, a white bald man who looks a bit like Schwarzenegger, said while holding a wine glass.
"Nice to meet you." Yang Bo also raised his cup.
There are not many people coming to the Karaya Senate. This is because John Li is a shareholder of Black Star Company, and the House of Representatives itself is a representative of local forces. Other members have nothing to do with Black Star Company, or even have a grudge, so it is impossible for them to come to the reception. .
Then he met with the leader of the Alliance Special Investigation Team, Major General Carlos of the Alliance Department of Homeland Security.
Major General Carlos is a middle-aged man with yellow skin, but he is very thin, with high cheekbones and small eyes. He looks sinister.
"I wonder if Mr. John Li has any idea of wanting to develop in the alliance? Our alliance welcomes talents from all over the world." After the two sides met and introduced each other, Carlos asked directly.
Yang Bo still didn't know why Carlos came to the reception. After hearing this, he realized that this guy was here to recruit people, so he shook his head and said: "The alliance is full of talents, so forget about my countryman skills."< br>
"Mr. Li's technical level is the best among the mecha masters I have ever seen, whether it is on-the-spot reaction or head-on confrontation. And to be honest with Mr. Li, I am also a mecha master." Carlos is telling the truth. .
In the battle videos released by John Li, the first time was when he was attacked halfway, and the second time was an operation against Golden Lion City.
There are many senior mecha divisions in the Alliance Department of Homeland Security, but very few have actually participated in the war.
Sometimes the Department of Homeland Security needs people with other identities to perform tasks. As a Department of Homeland Security, it not only needs to solve problems, but also avoid triggering political crises, whether internationally or within the alliance.
The ideas of some groups within the alliance are too extreme, and there are some things that the Department of Homeland Security itself cannot handle.
John Li has such a technical level that he can develop into a partner. In a remote and remote area like Karaya, the Union Department of Homeland Security can just throw out some random things, which is enough for these people to work hard. Of course, it would be better if John Li is willing to join the alliance.
The Alliance likes these high-level mecha masters from the Federation, because these people grew up in this environment, and their technical level and on-the-spot reaction are higher than those of the same level in the Alliance.
And there is another advantage, that is, these people have no background and can be like rags, throwing them away after use to avoid dirtying their hands.
Moreover, when these people in the federation are performing tasks, they will not question the orders of their superiors at all.
When the Ninth Fleet countered the rebellion, a large number of people actually questioned the commander's orders and refused to execute them.
This is not an isolated case. The Department of Homeland Security has also encountered many such things, because most people in the alliance grew up in an environment with various thoughts.
"Thank you for the compliment. The alliance is too free. I don't like it because I don't know if what I saw is true." Yang Bo didn't know the other party's attitude, but it was impossible to go to the alliance. He went to the alliance to join the Department of Homeland Security. , he is just a thug.
"What about?" Carlos asked, shaking the glass.
"For example, women..." Yang Bo shrugged.
"Hehe..." Carlos chuckled, then raised his glass and took a sip.
"So how about we strengthen cooperation in the future?" Carlos asked after seeing John Li take a sip.
"For example?" After hearing this, I probably knew what this guy meant.
"For example, to do some tasks, and we not only provide financial, technical, and equipment support, but also political support when necessary." Carlos answered with a smile.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Yang Bo understood. In fact, the Federation has many foreign-supported forces, and the Department of Homeland Security must have many external tasks that require foreign assistance.
"It's a pleasure to work with you. This is a virtual room address. If you need anything, sir, you can contact me. We can get a lot of equipment that is not available on the market." Carlos took out a paper business card, but there was no text on it.
"Okay." Yang Bo nodded.
The reception is just like that, everyone eats, drinks, and gets to know other people.
Later, the Karaya Senate will vote on John Lee joining the Senate, and what position will he take after that.
"Boss, this is the latest information from the union." After the reception, assistant Jenny took out the information from the union.
"I'll go." Yang Bo was also surprised after seeing the information, because it was a job price list in Karaya.
In other words, buying an official position.
One of the positions is the head of Group A3 of the Karaya Customs Inspection Bureau. A3 is mainly responsible for inspections of industrial processing equipment manufacturing.
This location requires 600 million credits.
The person in charge of the D1 group of the State Administration of Taxation is mainly responsible for federal tax collection work, that is, for old people. Because many old people in the federation have their own armed forces, this position is not considered a good job, because it is very likely to be beaten to death. The price Just need 50 million.
And this is still a low price, if there is competition, the price will be higher.
Commander-in-Chief of the Security Fleet, with the rank of rear admiral, this position is worth 150 million, because it can earn free money and can also be used for small-scale smuggling.
It's not that large-scale smuggling is not allowed, it's because Karaya doesn't have that many smuggling tools. Armed spaceships and the like are not suitable for smuggling, because the capacity of armed spaceships is limited and one round trip is not cost-effective.
In addition, these smugglers have already finished their share. If you want to take other people's cakes, you must have a price advantage, and on the other hand, you must have sufficient force.
When working in the Federation, big fists are the most important thing. As long as your fists are big enough, you can steal more cakes.
Of course, the money is donated to a charitable organization called the Karaya Development Fund, and the money in this organization is used to develop Karaya.
"I'll think about it." Yang Bo saw that the information said that he would give an accurate reply within three days, because these positions are not vacant at any time.
"Okay, if the boss is short of funds, you can borrow money from the union. You don't get any interest, boss. The boss can deduct the debt after completing the tasks of the union." Jenny said again.
Yang Bo nodded. These three exclusive assistants were all dressed normally, that is, normal work clothes, but they couldn't stand it. They were all very good-looking, and they were all highly educated.
But Yang Bo had no idea. The Mecha Masters Union was not a charity, and their money did not come from strong winds.
"Can any of you do an analysis for me to see which position my current situation is suitable for?" Yang Bo said this deliberately.
"Okay, boss." Jenny nodded.
"Am I also a major general?" Yang Bo had actually already thought about it, and he was the commander of the fleet. He didn't expect that he would become a major general from a killer. Of course, there are really many generals in the federation, and there are many local armed forces. Still a marshal.
