Guide to Galactic Dominance

After Bai Zhongqi showed his face at the United Nations General Assembly, he returned to his official residence to rest. There has been no routine in my life these two days. I have to rely on nutritional supplements to maintain my energy. But even for Iridium people with strong physiques, sleep is very important. After Bai Zhongqi was busy with these things, he finally got a few sleeps. After a few hours of sleep, I felt like I was resurrected again.

The current day and night in Ruyi City has been adjusted to the time zone of the East Eighth District on Earth. When Bai Zhongqi gets up, it is basically morning in country C. The morning of a head of state is naturally completely different from the morning of a diaosi international student. The personal life assistant assisted Bai Zhongqi in washing up, which made Bai Zhongqi feel that he might become lazier in the future. The housekeeping robot also served the head of state a very sumptuous Iridium-style breakfast.

Although the language is similar to that of Country C, the culture of Iridium is still very different from the culture of Country C. From the perspective of food alone, Iridium people don't seem to be as foody as Chinese people, and the dining style is relatively simple. Iridium people also eat carbohydrates as their main food, supplemented by protein foods and fruits and vegetables. What surprised Bai Zhongqi was that the staple food of the Iridium people was an apple that looked like potato skins. When cooked, it looked like bread without any sweetness. The scientific name of this crop is grain fruit, and it is a food crop with a terrible yield per acre. After grinding, you can get a very fine low-gluten flour, which can be baked or cooked directly without grinding. When it comes to meat, Iridium people have a lot of choices. The interstellar empire that spans hundreds of planets has formed some relatively fixed livestock after introducing and hybridizing a large number of animals from different planets. The same is true for fruits and vegetables.

From some angles, Iridium food is very similar to country C food. For example, the Iridium diet places special emphasis on colloidal foods such as porridge and soup. Bai Zhongqi’s breakfast today is a kind of soup and porridge with diced meat, diced vegetables, and fragrant ingredients. This is also Bai Zhongqi's favorite food in the past two days. In terms of soup and porridge, there are no less than thousands of varieties, and they really taste good. The staple food is roasted grains and fruits, as well as small plates made with different cooking methods. The portions are not large, but there are a lot of them on the table.

In fact, many people on Iridium prefer fast food made using molecular gastronomy, which is different from fast food on Earth. It is to directly understand the molecular components of food, and then make the food into various convenient and fancy shapes. If you eat it in one bite, it can be enough to make a meal, and it tastes the same as the meal.

On the one hand, this kind of Iridium cooking is very popular, but on the other hand, it has been criticized by many people who pay attention to food, thinking that it is a kind of damage to Iridium's food culture. Especially some people with higher status disdain to eat Iridium fast food. Food cooked with complex processes and fresh ingredients is truly a work of art and enjoyment. The fastidious Iridium people also request that the food cannot be cooked by robots, as that would not reflect the chef's skill and connotation. In short, if you want to be poor and elegant, you will always have a method.

However, Bai Zhongqi is willing to try all kinds of new things with high technological content. If given the chance, he would be willing to try some fish-flavored shredded pork biscuits.

This breakfast was not exclusive to Bai Zhongqi. Bai Zhongqi called in the interim Prime Minister Du Peng, the commander of the Space Force Xu Lanzhou, the commander of the Marine Corps Xiao Yu, the president of the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology Mo Laitong, and the Imperial Ministry of National Security Luo Quan and others, and he Have breakfast together. At this table, he was less interested in seeing Xiao Yu, but after all, Xiao Yu was a descendant of a knight and an officer of the Marine Corps. Although Bai Zhongqi could dismiss him, Xiao Yu's management of the Marine Corps was relatively in-depth and was too simple and crude. This approach will also cause division and conflict among the already small number of Iridium people. Bai Zhongqi's plan is to slowly divide and marginalize Xiao Yu and the faction forces to which he belongs after absorbing the power of the earth and joining the empire.

Bai Zhongqi ate about six minutes full and put down the tableware. The Iridium bosses who paid attention to etiquette also put down the tableware regardless of whether they were full or not. Bai Zhongqi took a sip of a drink similar to Iridium Star, cleared his mouth, and said: "In about ten hours, the visiting delegation from Earth will come to Ruyi City. The Prime Minister will make a specific visit plan. There is no need to show them too much. Just walk around casually, and there is no need to show technical things. As for the military, we have already flexed our muscles enough before, and there is no need to do it again now."

Du Peng had been preparing for this matter for a long time and nodded in agreement. Then Du Peng asked: "Your Majesty, now the empire has determined a policy to transform the earth's human power for our own use. Your Majesty said that we will create a new political framework that will allow us to receive the earth's power smoothly and gently. I wonder if your Majesty can now Where can I tell you more details about this?"

Bai Zhongqi had already prepared for this. In fact, he summoned these people to have breakfast with him to say these things.

"Absorbing the Earth's population for the Empire's use is the first step in the United Empire's grand plan in the new universe. In order to utilize the Earth's population faster and more effectively, we have ruled out the use of simple and crude drastic methods to enslave or high-pressure control, which is useless. to our strategy. To solve this problem, we need to see clearly the positions, capabilities and needs of both parties. There is no doubt that our Iridium star is strong, but the earth is weak. What we need is more population, and the countries on the earth need new resources. , new opportunities and development. Of course, we do not necessarily need to find common interests and reach cooperative relationships with all countries on earth. We only need to cooperate with some countries that have a larger population, good development potential, and better integration of imperial culture. .

Therefore, I conceived such a framework - [Iridium-Earth Interstellar Cooperation Alliance], referred to as Star Alliance. This is an international/interstellar supranational sovereign political entity led by Iridium. Earth countries will hand over part of their national sovereignty to the Star Alliance. Representatives from Iridium and Earth countries will form the Star Alliance Parliament as the power body of the Star Alliance to make decisions about the Star Alliance. Connect various affairs of this political body and space exploration affairs. Iridium directly obtains a veto power in the Star Alliance Parliament, and the other Earth countries that join the Star Alliance are in a subordinate position. The Star Alliance itself does not interfere in the internal affairs of specific Earth countries, but the Earth countries themselves must accept the political guidance of the Star Alliance. And we will also require that the countries on Earth abide by the resolutions of the Star Alliance and provide all aspects of support for the Star Alliance's policies, which naturally includes the provision of manpower. Of course, we will use something that is three generations or more inferior to the mainstream technology currently used by Iridium. The benefits of being an earth country, coupled with the resources we collect from the planets in the solar system and the various products produced by Iridium, will make the Star Alliance member states of Earth, firmly tied to the chariot of our United Empire. Nominally, we will give Earth member states the right to withdraw freely, but once they join, they will enjoy huge advantages over the rest of the Earth countries. If we withdraw, we will not only stop technical assistance and material support, but we will not rule out the practice of clawback of assistance. So once you get in the car, you can't get out. "

Third update! The idea of ​​​​the Star Alliance has only been proposed in a small part now, and Bailian will introduce more about this political structure later.
