Chapter 2178 Immigration Wave
Faced with Soshyan’s question, Sorge patiently replied:
“Maybe, but it’s not important.”
“Why?”
“It’s very simple, it’s the conditions you proposed before. Everything is free during the immigration process, from food and accommodation to medical care. After landing, you will be tax-free for twenty years. You will be exempted from military service for life. Each person and each household will also have a settling-in allowance. , Chapter Commander, you may not know that immigration from the Ministry of the Interior may be free, but food and accommodation during the immigration process are charged. Many people were forced to immigrate. As a result, they floated in space for two years and went bankrupt. They owe a debt to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and in the end they have to work for more than ten or even decades to repay it. In many cases, the needs of the citizens of the empire are really simple. It is enough to be able to meet basic food and clothing, and to raise children. If they can It would be a blessing not to be involved in any war in your life.”
"With such a large-scale population transfer, will there be anyone from the Ministry of Justice or the Tribunal investigating it?"
Sorge shook his head.
“The inquisitors will not care about this kind of thing. Their eyes are fixed on the terrible threats, heretics, demons and the like. The law enforcement officers of the Ministry of Justice are happily beating them with shock sticks. The "bottom hive scum" in the mouth, more than a billion people have disappeared in such a huge whirlpool, and no one will care. Chapter leader, you know that in the hive city under your feet, from the bottom hive to the upper hive, the number of unnatural deaths every day is How many? About 150,000, every day, and it can be counted. In addition, the maelstrom itself is a place with very frequent population movements. More than one billion immigrants are like clouds and no one cares about them. "
Sosh. Yang raised his eyebrows and said nothing more, just letting Sorge continue.
“The number of immigrants in the second batch is 1.5 billion, and the population proportion is basically the same as that in the first batch. The third batch is 1.8 billion, and the proportion of the population engaged in agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry is relatively higher, reaching 30%.”
"These three groups of immigrants are scheduled to land on Dar es Salaam. The mechanical sages of Ulan Huda have been building there for some time, but just having a place to live is not enough."
"Don't worry about this. Since 963, I have successively transferred more than 20.9 billion tons of various types of food and 22.7 billion tons of various daily necessities there."
"Well, the construction of a new colony It is a job with huge initial investment but little reward, but this is what the future development of the Chapter must be like. The descendants of these high-quality people will become the Chapter's excellent reserve force and the source of mortal troops. The last batch of immigrants are ready. How’s it going? ”
“It’s being transferred in batches, it will take about 5-7 months.”
“Very good.”
"Captain, there is one more thing."
"What?"
"It is also thanks to you that since I established the Gray Fox Group, all aspects of business have been going smoothly. , especially after taking over the logistics of part of the expeditionary force and the post of trade director-general of the Hoyland family, the business has expanded dozens of times, and I have also accumulated some wealth. In addition to using it to maintain various aspects of business, I am willing to use it to Part of it is dedicated to the Chapter. "
Money, to be honest, as an Astartes Chapter leader, Soshyan basically has no idea about this. After all, the most ordinary Chimera personnel carrier may be. It is worth the decades of work of thousands of families. Military equipment itself is one of the most expensive asset types in the empire.
However, Sorge's heart was still very satisfying to him.
So Soshyan refused with a smile:
"If you have this heart, I will accept it, but there is no need for the money and treasures. You only need to maintain your ability to go to Ulan Huda and Naisen Si The trade route of the HMS has already contributed enough to the war group, especially Ulan Huda. After the expansion of the shipyard, there are now 13 ships under construction and 4 more to be built. The demand for resources is huge, and it also has to be built. The shipyard of Naisen No. 4 provides semi-finished materials, and there are also six ships under construction there. "
"Don't worry, there were 101 transport ships sent to Ulan Huda last year alone. There are approximately 31.4 billion tons of rare minerals, and more than 500 billion tons of conventional minerals. Of course, tens of billions of tons of weapons, ammunition and chemical reagent raw materials have been exchanged, and it is actually profitable to trade and distribute them.”
"Chemical reagents." Soshiyang wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it. This kind of thing has a wide range of uses. If it is good, it can be made into various cheap medicines to provide food for the bottom and bottom nests. Residents are provided with the most basic medical care. If it is bad, then it is
But what can he say?
After all, even the Ministry of Military Affairs provides "combat stimulants" to soldiers.
"Chapter Commander, what I want to dedicate to the chapter is not gold and silver jewelry, but palladium."
"Palladium?"
This request Shi Yang knew that it was a relatively common "currency" in the Maelstrom. The lady from the Claremont family had also introduced it. They often used this metal in large-scale transactions.
Its main features are high purity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and good ductility. It is also a necessary material for mechanical engineering to manufacture precision resistors and catalytic converters. It also plays a great role in the biological field and is an ideal material for making high-end wetted materials. Necessities for parts, and the Maelstrom is one of the main sources of palladium in the Empire. There are several asteroids rich in palladium in the Bloody Skeleton System, and there are also several enrichments in the Badab Sector and the Kliman Drift Belt. The major demand for palladium in the Maelstrom in foundry worlds such as Reza and Ulan Huda, including the Wotan Alliance, is also palladium.
In other words, this metal can basically be traded in any forging world.
“How much?”
“Nine hundred million tons.”
“Hmm”
This number really surprised Soshyan. Although he didn't care much about the economy and business, from previous communication with the short man, he knew that the entire Great Sorian Alliance obtained palladium from the Maelstrom in one standard galactic center year. The amount of gold is only 100 million tons, and the amount of palladium handled by the Clermont family in an entire standard Terra year is only 600 million tons.
On the other hand, it can be seen that Sorge's business is by no means "good".
With 900 million tons of palladium, I wonder if I can buy a War Titan or a cruiser?
All kinds of fantastic ideas flashed through Soshiyang's mind, but he blurted them out in the end.
“How did you earn it?”
Sorge coughed lightly, and then replied:
"Replying to the captain, the main purpose is to annex the business of the Red Pirates. Although many of their properties and reserves have been confiscated by the Ministry of Justice, there are also many that have slipped through the crackdown. Fish, plus some cooperation projects with the imperial department. In addition, we cooperated with the Claremont family to conduct some business on military tickets."
Soshiyang didn't bother to ask anymore, and some In the end, it is better to keep things out of sight. Although this is a bit hypocritical and ostrich mentality, what can he do if he can ask the reason? Sorge did a good job, and he followed the empire's simplest and most straightforward rules, which had been in operation for ten thousand years.
