Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

The deputy minister was really surprised this time.

The reason why the Blue Star Federation feels that Maple Leaf Mining cannot survive is because of the comparison of the industrial production capabilities of both parties.

In other words, Maple Leaf Mining’s only chance of victory lies in a quick victory.

Overthrowing the Tianma Group through sneak attacks, using advanced warships to hit more with less, and defeating the Tianma Group at once is the only chance of victory.

However, the development of the matter was expected. Tianma Group used its unfathomable foundation to forcefully delay the period of weakness.

According to reliable news, Tianma Group’s first new-generation battleship is about to be completed, and the good days of Maple Leaf Mining are coming to an end.

The current site may be the pinnacle of Maple Leaf Mining's glory.

Next, there was a violent blow from the Tianma Group.

If you can hold on, you may still be able to survive.

If you can't hold on, you'll be finished.

This is the general perception within the Federation.

But... there is a premise for this understanding, that is, Maple Leaf Mining's industrial production capacity is far less than that of Tianma Group, and it was slowly exhausted in the war of attrition.

But judging from the current situation, Tianma Group's industrial production capacity is strong, and Maple Leaf Mining's industrial production capacity is indeed weak.

But just in terms of battleships, it really may not be worse than Tianma Group.

If the military strength can keep up, maybe... probably... there may really be a chance.

In a short period of time, the deputy minister has had countless thoughts. It is still impossible for Maple Leaf Mining to overthrow the Tianma Group in a short period of time, but it may not be impossible to fight against him.

If you think about it carefully, Maple Leaf Group is not short of brains.

I thought it was a carnival of a group of adventurists, but I didn't expect it to be the planning of an old fox.

Don't look at the fact that Tianma Group's ranking within the Blue Star Federation is only around 20, while Maple Leaf Mining is ranked 40 or 50 at most even if it tries to catch up.

But for an individual, a capital consortium of forty or fifty people is already a behemoth that can influence one's destiny, even if he is the deputy minister of the federation.

Such a size is enough to make his heart beat, even no less than his current supporters.

Such a force can easily arm a standard-level fleet, control the circulation and pricing of resources within a certain range, and coerce employees to easily influence local elections, so it cannot be ignored.

Federal politicians, on the one hand, must cooperate with capital, and on the other hand, they must also attack capital.

Cooperation is because we want to climb up, and attack is because we want to seize more power. It can be said that there are contradictions and unity at the same time.

This is the political game of Blue Star Federation. It looks like a lot of bugs, but it can run stably.

As for the perfectly designed system, it is difficult to operate.

Thinking of this, the deputy minister immediately changed his attitude and his expression changed subtly.

"Director Lin, I think Maple Leaf Mining should get more policy support, but we need to find an opportunity to talk."

He hinted that he wanted to talk to the people behind the scenes who really have the right to speak.

Of course, even if they can't reach an agreement, he can still find out some details about the other party and complete the task of delaying time. He will not lose at all.

The old chairman agreed very simply: "No problem. I think we will have a common language. The time will be... a week later. The Dominion class will be officially delivered in a week. Then we will go to the battleship to visit. Talk, how about it?”

"Host or guest, please do as you please."

After in-depth contact, the federal government research team is quite satisfied with the current situation.

Although Maple Leaf Mining has hidden a lot of things, it is very cooperative in the face of major issues.

This is understandable. No capital group will let the federal government know all its secrets.

The federal government is also very tolerant of them. Even secretly colluding with alien civilizations is not unacceptable, as long as the unity of the federation is maintained.

The deputy minister returned to his residence and immediately asked the accompanying experts: "Have any abnormal data been collected?"

"No trace of the existence of interstellar channels has been found. If we have more time, the error will be smaller."

"You have enough time, at least one week." The deputy minister breathed a sigh of relief. His mind has completely changed now. He wants to cooperate with Maple Leaf Mining and naturally does not want them to have problems.

"That's enough. With Maple Leaf Mining's cooperation, there is a high probability that there will be no problem. In fact, it is basically certain that there is no interstellar passage here." The expert also feels that the danger of this trip has completely disappeared, and the next step is to easily repeat the work. He was even in the mood to joke: "If the Tianma Group wants to continue to hold on, we will have to search the entire starry sky."

In fact, they do this all the time.

The federal government has been keeping an eye on the movement of the Maple Leaf Mining Fleet. If a spacecraft really comes from other stars, it will naturally be discovered.

Even various reconnaissance ships are constantly searching outside and conducting a large-scale survey operation.

Therefore, the deputy minister laughed at the experts' ridicule.

Then, he waited with peace of mind to meet with the capital behind Maple Leaf Mining.

For him, the initial contact was just an expression of goodwill. What he really wanted to cooperate with was Maple Leaf Mining, and the people behind it could only cooperate partially.

This is determined by the size of both parties. It is impossible for established capital to spend too many resources on him.

…

On the other side, the old chairman reported everything to Liszt.

They know their position very well and will never make any dangerous temptations.

"I think it's good to contact this person. If we can get the support of some people in the upper echelons of the federal government, we can even cover up the existence of the empire for a long time. When we invade more places, we can conquer several star systems at a time."

Lister listened quietly. He was not a political novice.

From the Stone Age to the Interstellar Age, only the technology has changed, and people's hearts have never changed.

Politics is just as dirty.

He knew that the Lin family was so active for their own interests.

On the one hand, it was a great achievement to promote peace with the upper echelons of the federation. On the other hand, long-term activities in the name of Maple Leaf Mining also increased the strength and importance of the Lin family.

But it doesn't matter if there are selfish motives. As long as it is beneficial to the empire, he can accept it.

Of course, the other party must also know his means so that he will not have other thoughts.

If the boss is too stupid, don't blame the subordinates for having other thoughts.

The way to control subordinates is to use both kindness and force.

"Director Lin, this plan is feasible, and we can increase the investment.

Now this deputy minister must have thought about getting rid of suspicion for us. If we collude more, tell him the truth... he will also try to cover it up for us. Starting with him, we can drag more people into it. I believe that one day the empire will be able to appear in the Blue Star Federation openly."
