From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

In Amber's view, the change of attitude on the side of the 'Regent Party' was very sudden and completely without recruitment.

Perseus even said the day before that he wanted to discuss whether we could have in-depth cooperation in the future, but the next day he acted like he was not familiar with Atlas.

Apart from maintaining the most basic contact and ensuring the smoothness of the quantum entanglement communication network, the two parties have no other contact.

Later, Lilith also warned Amber many times that several quantum entanglement communication relay stations deployed by Atlas in the Star Dragon Empire had been physically invaded.

After the other party forced its way to the relay station, it tried to directly break through the relay station's protection locally and tried to dismantle the core components of the relay device.

Although relying on the adaptive protection system deployed by Lilith in advance, the facilities of the relay station were not cracked in the end, such an attack still made Amber realize that the Prince Regent still coveted quantum entanglement communication technology. Change.

After this incident, Amber also condemned the destruction of equipment and theft of trade secrets to Perseus in the name of Atlas Group. The latter stated that they were not aware of it and promised to strengthen relevant measures. manage.

Regarding this "dead pig is not afraid of boiling water" approach, Atlas Group's response is also very simple and crude.

Amber directly ordered to disconnect the quantum entanglement communication network in the area controlled by the Regent Party in the name of equipment self-inspection, and wait until 24 hours before reactivating it. Anyway, there was indeed a clause in the contract originally signed that the equipment was In the event of a failure, Atlas Group can directly cut off the faulty part of the network.

As for whether there is a malfunction, Atlas Communications has the final say. Even if you ask engineers from the empire to inspect it, they will not be able to figure out why.

This kind of conversation was obviously something that Perseus and the others could understand. After the network was restored, all destructive cracking activities stopped, and the observation unit of the relay station also confirmed that all nearby unknown ships had evacuated.

Even Perseus, who had stopped contacting him actively, took the initiative to find Amber to apologize. However, when Amber asked about some deeper reasons, the other party began to hesitate again.

Subsequently, although the forces of the Regent Party still used Atlas's communication services, they obviously no longer used them as thoroughly as before. When some key departments had to use quantum entanglement communication services, they also carried out multiple layers of communication services. Encrypted encapsulation must ensure the confidentiality of communication, even if it reduces communication efficiency.

Obviously the other party also realized that Atlas could monitor them through the communication network, so after the relationship with Atlas Group became abnormal, they immediately took emergency response.

This has also directly led to the recent intelligence collection of Atlas's intelligence department on the Regent Party being greatly affected. The most obvious one is that Amber and the others have been unable to locate the whereabouts of the main members of the Regent Party.

Including troop mobilization, it can only be quickly discovered after it reaches a large scale. If the opponent carries out a "break it into parts" type of mobilization, it will basically not be discovered until the opponent's troops arrive at the designated fixed point and complete their assembly.

The sudden dispersing of the 'fog' made Amber increasingly wary of the Regent Party. This sudden appearance made him suspect that Norton II was trying to While accomplishing the 'great cause', Atlas doesn't want to interfere at all.

From the perspective of "anticipating the enemy and being lenient", Amber suspects that Norton II may have been aware of the Atlas Group's penetration capabilities and knew that if they cooperated in depth with Atlas, even if the uprising was successful, it would not be possible. Inevitably subject to Amber

As for the imperial princess Agnes on the other side, Amber believes she can also realize this, but she doesn’t know whether she is more confident that she can control Amber, or whether she really needs the help of the Atlas Group, so she Release the signal of 'deep cooperation'.

This is why Amber will give priority to Agnes when planning to infiltrate the Star Dragon Empire - after all, it seems that only the princess can handle it.

As for Norton II, Amber is also self-aware. At least in terms of tactics, she and Atlas's think tank are all packed together, and they probably can't beat each other.

With the help of the Atlas Group, the Renaissance Alliance won the Shasta System Fleet Battle, and the subsequent battles became much simpler. After the ground troops descended into orbital space, they encountered basically all the defenders. There was no effective resistance.

Franklin and the others did not spend much effort to control the main colonial planets, satellite cities, and deep space facilities.

Of course, the price is that there are also a large number of physical facilities such as factories, which were quickly acquired and settled by Atlas Group.

The forces in the surrounding star systems that were originally watching the situation, after seeing the "destroying" fighting power of the Renaissance Alliance, also sent "cooperation" signals to Franklin.

It was also during this period that as the forces in various places gradually changed from being loose and fighting independently, they gradually integrated into larger forces and surrounded the core galaxy circle of the Federation.

Atlas Group also took the opportunity to madly swallow up a large number of facilities and factories. The prototype of the "full-industry Leviathan" also appeared during this period. At the same time, with the assistance of Lilith, it started the first industrial upgrade. The main purpose was to unify and standardize the huge number of industries under its umbrella, laying a solid foundation for the large-scale "explosion of troops" in the future.

While the business elites were "running tasks" throughout the federation, Amber also learned from their feedback that the "Federation Chicken Eating Competition" had entered a white-hot stage.

Because in a large number of recent transactions, those "local forces" were very dissatisfied with the fact that they had to buy military supplies from the Atlas Group after "earning" money from the Atlas Group.

Of course, this "dissatisfaction" was mainly because these forces thought the process was too troublesome, and it was a bit of a waste of time to transfer funds back and forth, so they chose to "barter" directly from the Atlas Group.

The general process is:

The first step: Atlas Group first estimates the industry to be acquired and makes a preliminary confirmation with the transaction party.

Step 2: The trading party receives a list of arms for sale from Atlas Military Industry, and then selects based on the "valuation" obtained by the trading industry.

Step 3: The two parties reach an agreement, Atlas sends people to enter the industry and complete all authority control, and the cargo fleet will deliver the arms purchased by the other party while transporting the staff.

By the way, since the fleets moved out by Atlas business representatives in previous acquisitions have brought enough deterrence, coupled with the increasingly frequent appearances of "Infinity" and "Dawn", no one dares to have crooked thoughts when trading with the Atlas Group.

This also makes Atlas' recent acquisition activities very smooth, and many backlogs of arms stocks have been quickly cleared, and the large amount of "void funds" accumulated in the early stage have also become warships launched one by one.

Just when everything seemed to be "under control", some unexpected situations still occurred.

A piece of intelligence collected from the federal capital galaxy forced Amber to turn her attention to this chaotic country again.
