“Send a message to Earth, tell them 1 thank them on behalf of Shuttle 10…”
“Tell them, we’re planning a ma.s.sive attack that will break through their defenses and reach Earth…”
“Have them wait near the breach. We’ll help relocate a million people to the Universal Federation for safety…”
After Moro finished speaking, a confused captain asked, “Captain, aren’t we treating them like fools by saying this?”
Or perhaps, are we the fools?!
Moro confidently replied, “Just say it as I said, I have a plan!”
The first phase of Auda’s plan involved lulling the enemy into underestimating their intelligence.
So, the more absurd the message seems, the more it would make them appear unpredictable, leading the enemy to look down on them.
“Commander, we intercepted a message from the Moro fleet to Earth…”
On the lunar base, Uncle Da showed a puzzled look and relayed the message content.
“What the…?”
After hearing it, Zhao Yu was dumbfounded. “They’re telling Earth to have people wait at the breach, and they’ll take a million people away?!” “Are they joking?!”
“Their s.p.a.ceships can reach Earth, and they won’t blow up Earth?”
Zhao Yu shook his head after his comments, “I guess they’re just messing with
Earth…”
But Uncle Da’s expression was complex, “However, it seems like the people of
Earth believe it…”
“Good, good, good!”
Smith excitedly repeated “good” three times, “The Universal Federation indeed hasn’t forgotten us, they plan to breach the defenses for us, and even evacuate a million people first…”
“That’s wonderful. We can leave first to avoid desperate actions from the aliens on the Moon…”
“Senator Smith, the proposal to exclude Da Xia from the Earth Federation has not yet pa.s.sed, and they have also received the news…”
“Do we have to share this million-slot quota with them?!”
“Fool, can you safely leave without giving them a share?!”
Soon, a Earth Federation meeting was held. The topic was simple: how to divide the million slots.
Senator Chu and other Da Xia councilors were somewhat doubtful. Is what the Universal Federation said true, or false?
“What should we do about the quota? Do we fight for it?”
Senator Chu asked in a low voice.
Senator Zhou thought for a moment and said, “Whether it’s real or not is one thing, whether we take our seats or not is another. What’s ours, we must get!”
“Good!”
Soon, the councillors started a heated discussion.
In the end, Da Xia, by virtue of their power, secured 200,000 slots.
The rest, nominally taken by other parties, but judging from the secret connections between them and Smith, it’s easy to guess who would really distribute the remaining slots.
Before the meeting adjourned, Smith stopped everyone and smiled, “Folks, a million slots, more than enough for our people. The remaining slots are hard to allocate fairly. I have a suggestion. Why don’t we sell the remaining tickets, 10 million each, how about it?”
Someone frowned, puzzled, “If we’re all taking the ship, what use is the money from the sale?”
“Who said anything about money? We want high-quality a.s.sets worth 10 million…”
Smith smiled lightly, “We’re only temporarily seeking refuge in the Universal Federation, we’re not abandoning Earth. After the war, we’ll naturally be sent back…”
“At that time, we’ll still be in charge. With the Universal Federation present, who would dare to act up?!”
The councilors thought about it and agreed. The Universal Federation was like a divine protector. With such protection, why fear loss of interests after leaving?
“Have you heard? The Universal Federation said they’ll take a million people from Earth to seek temporary refuge…”
“Holy cow, a million people, will it be my turn?”
“I want to register, where do I register?!”
“Fool, do you think this is like emigrating to the Moon with fair registration and review?”
“I heard that the tickets this time are 10 million each, ordinary people can forget about it…”
“d.a.m.n, this is too much. Rich people flee, and we poor ones are left behind?!”
“Nearly 9 billion people worldwide, only a million slots, how can they possibly take everyone…”
“I don’t care, Bei Yang City, right? 1’11 get there myself by plane…”
“Stop joking. All flights to Bei Yang City have stopped. Plus, 1 heard that large numbers of troops are stationed there, blocking the entire city. Ordinary people can’t get in…”
While netizens around the world were chattering, the various areas of the Blue Star Federation also began selling tickets in private.
Within one day, Smith’s face turned green with anger.
“Senator Smith, I want to buy a ticket. I know the rules, to use a.s.sets as exchange. I have a property in the center of Lun Yi City worth ten million…”
“Get out, don’t bother me with these steel and concrete structures. You jerks, I’ve said, high-quality a.s.sets, high-quality a.s.sets. If you want to buy a ticket, bring out your family’s battery factory…”
All day long, people wanted to exchange steel and concrete structures for tickets, making Smith want to hit someone.
In their district with so many developed cities, there are as many as a million properties worth more than ten million. Everyone is exchanging houses for tickets, which is ridiculous.
Houses are just houses. With a new district planned, a cost of 100,000 could yield 10 million. They can manipulate it as they want.
Are these rich people trying to trick others with the rules of the game they’ve set up?
As for the issue of whether there will be people living in the new district, as long as they don’t provide facilities for the old districts, move schools, hospitals, supermarkets, they will eventually become ghost towns. People will have to move.
Compared to steel and concrete, factories with technological value are clearly more important.
At this moment, someone came to report, “Senator Smith, Da Xia seems to be giving out a lot of slots…”
“What do you mean?”
“They don’t seem to be keeping any for themselves, that is, their councillors don’t plan to evacuate…”
“I heard they seem to have made contact with the aliens on the Moon behind our backs…”
“So, are they planning to side with the Moon aliens?!”
Smith scoffed, “What fools!”
“If the Moon aliens lose, Earth will inevitably suffer. They should seize this opportunity to escape. By the time they want to leave, it might be too late…” “Get someone to arrange it, buy the tickets they’re offering…”
“They also demand that tickets can only be exchanged for tech factories…”
“Then exchange them!”
Smith spoke mysteriously, “Factories are just factories, well lend them for now. Can they keep them safe?”
“When we get familiar with the Universal Federation, by then, Da Xia will become a thing of the past…”
“It’s about time Earth was unified…”
Smith said and then turned around, “Go, tell those free-loaders to think of a suitable name for the future Earth Empire. Make sure to include some of my characteristics….”
