Infinite Gentleman

Of course, the concept of "far away" has been shaken a bit at present.

The UED expedition did not last long. And if the UED prisoners of war did not lie, it would only take a few months for them to find out and then mobilize to form an expeditionary force to the Kepulu region.

During this period, there was a lot of wrangling inside the earth, as well as power distribution issues. Calculated in this way, the range of the UED's sphere of influence from the Kepulu region may be only two months for the earth.

People in the Kepulu region cannot understand how far the original sovereign state's technology has reached in this nearly two hundred years. Because it took them thirty years to sail from the earth to the Kepru region.

Fortunately, at least for now, UED hasn't had much interest in the Kepulu region. What is even more pleasing is that there is a slight problem with the force projection on the earth. Or because they have embarked on a technological line that is completely different from the Kepru people, they can't bring too good weapons to come.

...

Excluding the negligible UEDs, there are currently three political entities in the Kepulu area in theory.

One is Tran. The Tran Confederation, with Tarsonis as its capital, was eventually replaced by his rebel Mengsk. After a series of wars, Mengsk's empire possessed unimaginable armaments and power.

Second, in the guild wars, the Kyle-Moria complex fought against the Tran Federation because of the competition for crystal mineral resources. After the defeat of the guild war, although the Morias still had autonomy, almost all of their colonial stars and mineral deposits were annexed by the Tran Federation. The Telanites have naturally become the most powerful empire in the Kepulu region.

And the last one is the Yomojie who maintained their neutrality in the guild war and popularized the compulsory military service after the war, trying to defend their independence desperately. Their troops and colonies are insufficient. And the technology is relatively backward. Even when the empire was somewhat powerless due to the worms and protoss problems, Yomojie became a more important political force, and they still couldn't compare with the empire.

Concentration of power has some advantages over democratic systems, and the improvement of administrative and decision-making efficiency is one of them. After becoming the emperor, and because of his lack of authority, in order to prevent the independence of colonizing the planet, he began to implement high-pressure rule, the emperor's next goal has two.

Stabilizing the regime, the name goes down in history.

And if you think about it carefully, it seems that these two goals can be merged into one. That is to prove that one's ability and strength are stronger than the guys of the former Tran Federation.

As for how to prove, here are a few options.

The first is to make people's living standards happily improved, so as to increase people's support for the empire.

This is more difficult. The reason is that it is a time of war. Face the rebellion, especially the threat of the insect swarm. Mengsk must invest a lot of money in weapon development and manufacturing. For this reason, the standard of living of the Tran people is even worse than in the federal period.

Especially after the end of the revolution, the senior figures who belonged to the sons of Keha happily fell at an extremely fast speed.

Now that the revolution has been successful, then it is time to share the fruits of victory in the revolution.

Mengsk, the leader of the sons of Keha, became emperor. They will naturally become dukes, earls, ministers, and nobles. The decadence of these fallen former revolutionaries is even worse than that of the politicians in the Bitland Federation period. In this case, the emperor had a very headache--it was not that he could not kill the hero. The problem is that you have to wait for peace.

Before new interest groups and people with sufficient strength have been cultivated, take action against the old class. Mengsk is not an idiot. So he can only turn one eye and close one eye to these people, treating them as invisible.

In this case, there is only one way left.

war.

Divert internal conflicts with foreign wars. This method is very old. It has been continuously and continuously staged in the history of human civilization for thousands of years. The reason for this is to prove that this method is indeed effective.

Although this will also bring serious sequelae. All kinds of messy problems or something. But the first reason for drinking poison to quench thirst is because if you don't drink it, you will die of thirst. What's more, the transfer of internal conflicts in foreign wars is not so severe.

What if it succeeds?

It is like a certain Korean War. If it weren't for a certain big country in the Korean War, would any old country in the world treat it as the same thing?

No, not at all.

Of course, this operation must be done well. Must find the right opponent. Otherwise, it is easy to pretend to be a fool like a self-defense counterattack on the Indian border.

Mengsk is a smart man. More importantly, Mengsk himself has been on the battlefield and is a fairly good commander. He knows war, and he also understands his fighting power, the strength of the empire.

In terms of the strength of the empire, against the Insect Swarm or against the Protoss, there is more defeat than less victory. With his current unstable status and power. A big failure is enough to shake the foundation.

In this case, you need to choose new, smaller and better people.

For example, Yumojie and Moria. These two are also places of human power. The level of technology and the technology tree are basically the same as the Tran Empire—because they were all developed through the "Optimus" system of colonial ships.

More important is the status and prestige.

As the largest human force in the Kepulu region. The unification of humans in the entire Kepulus region has always been a major goal of the Tran Federation. Unfortunately, it has not been realized.

If this goal can be achieved in the hands of Mengsk, wouldn't it prove that Mengsk is better than the original Tran Federation?

Chapter 16 Trouble?

As Mengsk's new confidant, Brigadier General Wright Baldwin has a clear understanding of Mengsk's mind.

The so-called "don't make things big" or something, the translation should be "don't make things that aren't big".

As for the opponent. The strength of the Umojie people is still relatively strong, and they have always been tough. I am afraid there is no way to conquer it in a short time. At least Mengsk has not shown enough courage and determination.

In other words, the best opponent is the mining guild, Kyle-Moria's remnant.

Their strength is weak, and after most of the minerals were annexed by Tran, their economic strength and military strength dropped drastically. And before that, the Tran Federation had happily beaten Moria during the guild war. In this case, Moria has not replied until now.

"So the reason is that the empire first discovered a planet rich in minerals. All the property here belongs to all the people of the great empire, and Kyle, the remnant of Moria, wants to steal the property of all the people. It is unforgivable for anyone. We will completely wipe out this evil country! Let everyone in the world know that the empire does not allow anyone to provocation!"

That's pretty much it. Emperor Mengsk thought that way. In fact, Brigadier General Wright Baldwin is the same.

If possible, he very much wants to obtain the position of a planetary governor, or establish a military base on the border planet.

In addition, more importantly, he needs more elite weapon drawings.

Although human weapons and equipment in the interstellar age are still advanced, there are many shortcomings in Wright Baldwin's view. In addition to the matching of the empire's army and the lack of weapons and equipment for various needs, there is also the fact that the empire's technological tree is somewhat incomplete. This is mainly because the Keplu people are a technology tree that was excavated from the ‘Optimus’ giant computer and then reorganized. This makes the background of Kepulu humans far inferior to that of humans on earth.

Under this circumstance, Brigadier General Wright Baldwin felt that the technology he brought from another world, especially the technology related to Nether Energy, could shine in this world.

In the same situation, a planet far away from Keha, politically close to white paper, and resource-rich planet as a base is what the brigadier general wants most.

For this reason, Brigadier General Baldwin was given a mission to the Border 4 planet in Ruoyoruowu's efforts.

He must fight, and in the process of fighting, the Emperor Mengsk cannot be allowed to understand his true intentions. Otherwise, the emperor, who is very suspicious and has some vague fear of Brigadier General Wright Baldwin's ability, will probably not be as he wishes.

"It's almost like that. We need more machinery. Most of the empire will not support us at this point. The emperor wants to establish a mining colony on the Border 4 planet. He only hopes that there will be a basic defense force. So, I have to... uh... what should I say.

Find yourself an enemy?

Well, yes, find yourself an enemy. Raise the bandits to respect themselves and make the emperor think that the resources of planet 4 are essential for him. Only in this case can I get more resources and proof of license.

But even so, he at most allowed me to build some frigates, light cruiser-class warships. It is absolutely impossible to give me the drawings and construction equipment of the Minotaur class and the Gorgon class battle cruiser. In this case……"

Wright Baldwin thought.

"Then next, only the Mobis Foundation can be trusted? Or I can also get some support from Yumojie. Besides...what else should be?"

Brigadier General Baldwin thought carefully.

He has no shortage of energy, resources-manpower-manpower. The Empire’s human cloning technology is very mature. With the powerful ghost energy of Brigadier General Baldwin, he was brainwashed enough to create a force of industrial workers and professional soldiers fully loyal to him.

As for senior talents, commanders and administrative talents. The sister system that has been upgraded and strengthened may be sufficient.

Thinking of this, the Brigadier General was a little bit lamented and regretful. That is the number of sister agents under his command.
