Chapter 234 You have a new order
The 'Bloody Tuesday' incident, just like Amber's memory, on the surface, had almost no impact on the empire.
At least before Randall and the others set off to return, the information collected through public channels was still "singing and dancing".
The larger media companies in the Star Dragon Empire are all controlled by nobles.
Although the media company favored the Regent faction, when reporting the incident on Vendée No. 6, they still secretly satirized the princess's cruelty in handling the incident.
However, since there is no "real" evidence, these reports are regarded as "routine criticism" of the Princess Party by the media company of the Regent faction.
But Amber knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
After the incident of 'Bloody Tuesday', in the timeline of the game plot, the Star Dragon Empire has actually entered a countdown to splitting.
If nothing unexpected happens, the old emperor will enter a critical state in three months.
The federal intelligence personnel finally proved their presence and obtained this key information.
After receiving this important intelligence, the Federation, which had been under attack, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched the largest counterattack since the war began. The operation codename was Supernova Outbreak.
The 15 main fleets of the Federation Navy, together with 6 unmanned fleets, attacked across the board.
The two Dukes, Artesia and Hastings, who were passive due to the news from the rear and did not know whether to continue the attack or retreat to the border to protect the princess, were also beaten after encountering a fierce counterattack by the Federation. Caught off guard.
In order to ensure that we have enough ‘weights’ on hand in the foreseeable civil strife in the future.
The two dukes chose to retreat to protect their own strength.
On the Federation side, Admiral Trafalgar, who commanded this huge fleet, decided to pursue the victory.
Finally controlled the two galaxy clusters on the border of the empire and pushed the battle line into the territory of the empire.
However, the two dukes from the Princess Party camp still brought the supplementary fleet and a large number of family fleets of border nobles to stabilize the front and prevent the federal fleet from attacking.
At the same time, the two main combat forces of the Princess Party were dragged to the front line.
In multiple galaxies within the empire, riots of 'anti-dictatorship' and 'demand for independence' broke out almost simultaneously.
Taking advantage of this wave, the regent gathered his strength and began to force the palace with force.
He led an army to blockade the capital galaxy and the galaxy where the imperial princess was on a 'visit', demanding that the Leon family take the initiative to end their rule over the empire.
At this critical moment, the ‘Old Saint-Saunière Zhengxing Longqi’ who had been loyal to the royal family from beginning to end stood up.
With the regent's fleet surrounding the capital galaxy, Prince Sauron, as the backbone of the 'royal party', led the celestial fortress and the noble fleet to forcibly break into the capital galaxy, and the two sides fought.
Another group of ‘die-hard nobles’ who were loyal to Princess Agnes also took the opportunity to rescue the imperial princess from the besieged galaxy
"Alas, there are only three months left. If you give me an infinite resource gimmick in such a short time, I can think of a way to build a fleet."
With this series of plots flashing through his mind, Amber felt a little confused. Lying melancholy on the swivel chair in the office, slowly spinning.
From his point of view, he certainly did not want the Star Dragon Empire to fall into civil war and then split so quickly.
He is not worried about the impact of a civil war in the empire on him and Atlas.
What Amber is really worried about is that Atlas is not strong enough to make a big profit in this civil war.
The best case scenario is to wait for him to develop for a while, and once he has enough capital to profit from the civil war, it will not be too late for the empire to fall into chaos again.
“It would be great if there was any way to extend the window period.”
Just as he was thinking about whether there could be any breakthrough point, there was a gentle knock on the office door. .
“Come in.”
The door of the office was pushed open, and Isabel, dressed in professional attire, walked in with another female Roma who was also dressed in professional attire.
Atlas has expanded into the Atlas Group following the completion of the acquisitions of Mary Bay and Yaoguang Defense.
As the actual controller of the group, Amber’s workload naturally began to rise sharply.
In order to share his pressure, he could only let Isabel serve as his assistant while being the 'secret agent chief'.
The other ‘cat lady’ dressed as an OL in front of me is the newly appointed sales director of Atlas Private Military Company.
Seeing her, Amber couldn't help but think of this cat lady who looked harmless to humans and animals, and her somewhat outrageous resume.
This female Roma named Osana is unique among the entire Roma group.
Her tribe was wiped out in a factory explosion in the Thousand Stars Empire.
She was orphaned at a young age and was adopted by a Federation couple who were traveling on the border of the Thousand Planet Empire at that time.
The couple were both federal officers before retiring. Osana, who grew up in such a military family, did not join the federal army due to identity issues, but she entered a private military service when she grew up. company.
And successfully got the position of project manager.
As a position that requires leading and planning an operation, Osana is not only familiar with the basic operations of private military companies.
At the same time, it also has the ability to fight on the front line.
Professional skills such as orbital airborne landing, gang jumping, basic infantry tactics, infiltration operations behind enemy lines, military vehicle driving, etc. are all filled up in her 'Personal Skills' column.
When Atlas’s ‘Roma Marine Corps’ attracted attention in the Thousand Stars Empire, especially the attention of the majority of Roma people.
Osana resolutely resigned from her original company, and immediately submitted her resume to Atlas after returning to the Thousand Stars Empire.
This cat lady's wonderful resume and personal abilities naturally attracted the attention of the HR department.
After the initial audition and Amber’s personal interview, Osana became the sales director of Atlas Private Military Company.
Amber is naturally very satisfied with this. Judging from the individual combat effectiveness alone, none of the Roma in the Marine Corps could even be her opponent.
As Atlas’ current basic combat force is Roma, it is naturally very suitable for Roma to be the sales manager, and it is also convenient to maintain the corporate image.
Not to mention Osana's skills, she was simply prepared for this moment.
Looking at the cat girl who was wearing business attire but still subconsciously saluted herself as a military salute, Amber smiled and asked:
"What's wrong? What happened?"
At Isabel’s signal, Osana stepped forward and reported:
“Boss, last week we responded to the ‘Defense Contracting Project’ issued by the Rubian System Autonomous Government in the Federation. , received a reply from the other party, and they officially invited us to become a partner of the 'Freedom Recovery' project."
What Osana was talking about was a previous 'tender' made by Atlas Private Military Company in the Federation.
Almost at the same time as "Bloody Tuesday" occurred, the federal navy launched a large-scale counterattack.
The veteran Admiral Trafalgar seized the opportunity of the Empire to deploy troops to the newly occupied colonial planets and launched an attack.
The current federal navy, under his command, has truly made use of its strengths and avoided its weaknesses.
With the advantage of the federal fleet in quantity and the speed of replenishment within the country, the federal navy will always have a significant numerical advantage in the battles between the two sides during this period.
The Imperial fleet, which had not yet completely gained a foothold, was completely disrupted by this sudden attack.
The Fortress of Sorrow, together with other fleets, is about to fall into an emergency situation surrounded by a large number of federal navy.
Duke Duke had no choice but to give up the ground troops who were unable to evacuate the planet, commanded the fleet to make an emergency breakout and left the system.
According to the intelligence received by Amber, after that, Duke Duke and Duke William, who had fought for a long time, withdrew with their fleet.
The two Dukes, Artesia and Hastings, who had been prepared for a long time, led their troops to arrive in time and took over their battle.
Judging from the subsequent developments mentioned above, it is obvious that the regent's side took the initiative to take the blame for the unfavorable battle, and the operation of replacing the two dukes from the Princess Party camp was completely premeditated.
This rotation directly caused the two dukes to be dragged on the front line for a long time, unable to escape.
On the other side, the Federation Navy fleet that regained this galaxy also continued to advance and came to the front line to confront the Imperial fleet.
Because the main ground forces of the Federation are currently deployed near the capital system and in the 'dominant systems' of the ruling party 'Federal Democratic Party'.
So the "dominant galaxy" of the typical opposition party "Federal Republican Party" like Rubion can only rely on its own abilities.
The garrison of the Lubion system was not originally very effective. Before the war broke out, the autonomous government of this system focused more on economic development than military construction.
So in the previous battles of the Empire's invasion, both the fleet and the ground forces suffered heavy losses under the attacks of the Imperial Army.
Especially the ground troops. Under the attack of the empire's orbital attack and ground troops, most of the established troops were annihilated.
Concerning the current situation, there are still remnants of the empire on the planet.
The galactic autonomous government did not want the troops under its control to continue to be consumed, so it chose to open tenders and let defense contractors and private military companies enter the planet to mince meat.
It was against this background that Atlas Private Military Company made a tentative bid.
Who would have thought that we actually won the bid now.
“This is a good thing~”
Amber said in a relaxed tone.
During this period, Atlas Mining and Atlas Industries were flourishing in mining and equipment manufacturing.
Atlas Private Military Company still has not received any orders for "Didi beating".
As a result, it became the only one among the three subsidiaries of the group that needed feedback from the group.
“This mission is more than that simple.”
Isabel walked up and handed the tablet in her hand to Amber.
"The Rubian System Autonomous Government plans to outsource the post-war reconstruction tasks in one fell swoop. The areas 'liberated' by various companies from the remaining imperial soldiers are the areas where they can subsequently undertake reconstruction tasks."
Amber was not surprised by what Isabel said.
In the federal territory, although this kind of thing is still rare now, it will become more and more common as time goes by.
Especially after the Federation continues to regain lost territory and push it back into the empire.
The larger defense companies at this stage are basically subsidiaries of a large consortium.
Generally, there will be other subsidiaries under these consortia, which are qualified for 'urban construction' work.
A slightly inferior defense company, even if it is not so strong, will still have some long-term partners in this area.
When the city actually enters the construction stage, these defense companies will also receive dividends from their partners.
But for Amber and Atlas, if they can legally dispatch troops into the federal territory, they can also take on the task of post-war reconstruction.
The profits and oil and water are secondary, but more importantly, it allows Atlas to lay a nail in the federal territory.
“Isn’t this luring the wolf into the house?”
Amber smiled and returned the tablet to Isabel.
"Let's get started and go all out to make this first business a success. There will be many opportunities like this in the future~"
