The Seventh Base

Chapter 771: Chapter 121 Strong Response_2

Ross spoke, “The Group’s situation is complicated and does not belong to any one person or any planet. The major shareholders from various planets have also made their demands known to the Group, disagreeing with the Lucas Star Federation Government’s takeover and hoping that the Federation Government understands the problems faced by Blue Star Energy Technology Group and respects the Group’s choice.”

“Of course, if the Lucas Star Federation Government still insists on militarily taking over Blue Star Energy Technology Group, then, Blue Star Energy Technology Group will have no choice but to abandon everything on Lucas Star, withdraw from Lucas Star, thank you.”

After Ross finished speaking, the room went very quiet.

He spoke the most resolute words in the softest tone.

They recognized the civilization of Lucas Star and were willing to provide weapon support to the Lucas Star Federation Government.

But if a military takeover was to occur, sorry, Blue Star Energy Technology Group would simply give up on Lucas Star, even if it meant starting over from scratch.

Xu Mo and his colleagues clearly understood what King Richard intended to do. A military takeover meant that Lucas Star wanted direct control, which would effectively render the Group non-existent. Moreover, they also wanted the technology.

In that case, it was better to simply give up and develop elsewhere.

They didn’t care about making a big deal out of the situation and had already prepared for the worst.

“Next, we will connect with the various embassies,” said Ross, and then the screen behind him lit up, showing an office with a figure sitting inside, speaking to the camera, “This is Salin from the Sasi Kingdom Embassy. In response to the Lucas Star Federation Government’s proposal to take over the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, the Sasi Kingdom expresses strong opposition. The Sasi Kingdom holds shares in the Blue Star Energy Technology Group and hopes that the Lucas Star Federation Government will adhere to the basic order of the Star System Alliance.”

The next moment, the screen switched to another face, an ambassador from the Carolan Star.

One after another, the images changed, with various embassies expressing their refusal to allow the Lucas Star Federation Government to take over the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, as it would infringe upon their interests.

Seeing this, many people were quite alarmed. Had the influence of Blue Star Energy Technology Group become so terrifying without their realizing it? That it could directly affect the major planets?

This would likely put the Lucas Star Federation Government in a very passive position.

If they still insisted on acting against Blue Star Energy Technology Group, the commercial order of the Star System Alliance would collapse, and then other planets might consider taking over companies on Lucas Star.

This wouldn’t be a good thing for the entire Alliance, as it might lead to a breakdown of the Star System Alliance’s order.

Especially since it was a sensitive time, with Mandala Star possibly invading at any moment, conflicts arising among the Star System Alliance’s planets could have very terrible consequences.

It seemed the problem had now been handed to the Lucas Star Federation Government.

Xu Mo could fully imagine King Richard’s anger upon hearing this news, but he no longer cared. The Group had considered such a situation since the day it was founded and had already prepared their exit strategy. If the Lucas Star Federation Government decided to forcefully act, they would simply withdraw.

Just as Ross had said in the press conference, the Group’s nature was complex, with shareholders from many planets, and it was controlled by the ruling classes of those planets. If Lucas Star went ahead with its forceful destruction of Blue Star Energy Group, it would provoke a very adverse reaction.

The Sasi Kingdom had never been too fond of Lucas Star.

At this moment, in the Lucas Star Federation Government Building, in the office where King Richard was seated, with the Minister of Defense Field standing beside him.

Just then, two figures approached, bowing deeply and saying, “Your Majesty, the King.”

King Richard looked up at the two arrivals, asking, “You’ve seen the media press conference held by the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, haven’t you?”

“We have,” the two replied.

“Ize and Carter are also shareholders of the Group. Blue Star Energy Technology Group has developed with your backing. Now that Blue Star Energy Technology Group has grown strong and defied the orders of the Federation Government, what is your view?” King Richard asked.

The newcomers were indeed the fathers of Ize and Carter, and they lowered their heads, their minds racing, having guessed the reason for King Richard’s summoning.

“Your Majesty, although Ize is a shareholder, he has no decision-making power in this matter, he surely did not participate.”

“The same is true for Carter.”

Both parties first tried to shun responsibility, refusing to take the blame.

“I know,” King Richard said. “I’m asking you if there’s a way to take control of Blue Star Energy Technology Group. Their funds should all be in the interstellar bank, right?”

“Your Majesty,” Ize’s father bowed deeply. “What funds does Blue Star Energy Technology Group have? They only have debt. If Blue Star Energy Technology Group goes bankrupt, it will cause a huge amount of bad debt.”

“Blue Star Energy Technology Group has taken orders from major planets, and they only have debt?” King Richard said.

“Blue Star Energy Technology Group has always been expanding, building bases on major planets. Now their bases on other planets have matured and do not go through the interstellar bank, but… the funds for their expansion have all been borrowed from the interstellar bank. If they cannot repay, we could indeed take over Blue Star Energy Technology Group. However, the key issue now is, how many useful assets does Blue Star Energy Technology Group of Lucas Star still have?”

His voice grew lower, and indeed, King Richard’s face turned green when he heard this.

Expanded to other stars, and all the money was borrowed from the interstellar bank.

“So, you’re saying that if Blue Star Energy Technology Group goes under, you all will be the most unfortunate?” King Richard said coldly.

“Your Majesty,” Ize’s father said with his head hung low. “Blue Star Energy Technology Group has shares held by Princess Elizabeth. Its growth has been fierce and within the estimates of the interstellar bank, a collapse has never been considered…”

A rapidly expanding, powerful technology group, after all, wouldn’t collapse unless there was some unforeseen event.

“Indeed, especially since Ize also holds shares,” King Richard said coldly. This bastard dared to use Elizabeth as a shield?

“What about you, what do you say?” King Richard turned to Carter’s father and asked.

“Retaking the transport ships is certainly possible, I have no issue with that,” Carter’s father said. “However, Your Majesty, Princess Elizabeth holds ten percent of the shares, and together with Ize and Carter’s ten percent, we altogether hold twenty percent of the shares. If things really turn sour, I fear it will be mutually destructive.”

If Lucas Star goes against the rules and takes over, and they make another move to restrict Blue Star Energy Technology Group, that’s basically declaring an open conflict.

If they all reveal their true intentions and it leads to the collapse of Blue Star Energy Technology Group of Lucas Star, who would still recognize their shares?

Lucas Star Federation Government broke the rules first, so it would be a collective downfall.

King Richard looked at the two men. These two old foxes were each calculating their own schemes.

“You can leave now, I have no more need for you,” King Richard said.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The two men left, exchanging a meaningful look as they walked out of the office.

The king has his interests, and the ministers have theirs, which doesn’t necessarily mean they have the same heart.

Their families held five percent of the shares, which would become extremely valuable in the future. They didn’t want to lose that so easily.

Moreover, to speak bluntly, even if there was a change in power, their families would still need to continue to exist. A financial empire, a spacefaring empire, and now a technology empire was emerging, in which they held shares. They were the last ones who wanted the rules to break down.

“Old foxes,” King Richard muttered as he watched the two leave. He then turned to Field beside him and said, “So, we cannot touch Blue Star Energy Technology Group.”

“Your Majesty, they each have their own calculations. With just a command from Your Majesty, we can immediately take military control,” Field spoke.

King Richard’s expression alternated between light and dark, finding himself cornered by a young man.

“Elizabeth has good foresight,” after a while, a statement came from King Richard. A librarian who united the major planets to create the Blue Star Energy Group and rapidly developed planetary bases.

And, in Lucas Star, borrowed crazily. Quite the player.

In fact, Xu Mo had been on guard from the start, having a fallback plan for this very day. If things really came to a head, it would be mutually destructive. His loss would be greater than that of Blue Star Energy Group, with shares, federal government credibility, commercial order, and so on.

No wonder Elizabeth was deceived.
