The Seventh Base

Chapter 857: Chapter 164: So Impressive

The words of the Sasi Kingdom King caused quite a stir. King Richard of Lucas Star wants to kick Byron Star out of the Star System Alliance, while he wants to make Byron Star a standing council member?

The two seem to have entirely opposite attitudes.

King Richard was very angry when he heard this. The Sasi Kingdom was being unreasonable, deliberately going against him.

What benefits does Byron Star’s rise bring to them?

“This Byron Star has never been one with our Star System Alliance. With its obvious strong combat power, it secretly hunts with considerable ambition. If it grows stronger, it might become another Mandala Star,” said King of Prins, clearly supporting King Richard.

“If Byron Star becomes a standing council star, then it would consider the interests of the Star System Alliance. Previously, King Richard had always been suppressing Byron Star. What Byron Star is doing is reasonable. Now that Byron Star possesses such combat power, we should unite to resist the Mandala Star United Kingdom,” said the King of Canaan Star. “Moreover, this video was originally released from Mandala Star, likely aiming to cause internal strife among us.”

“I agree,” expressed the side of Carolan Star.

“Hmph.”

At this moment, a cold snort was heard. The Baloma Kingdom King, with a virtual expression showing sarcastic colors, said, “I know several of you have collaborations with Byron Star. However, Byron Star can hunt in the starry sky, presumably hiding some core technology while guarding against you. You are being used without realizing it. I have a suggestion: if Byron Star is willing to fully open its technology to the Star System Alliance, they can become a standing council star.”

Both sides seem to be at an impasse, with two completely opposing opinions.

“What do the others think?” King Richard looked at the leader figures of other planets.

Most of them chose to remain silent.

In wartime, it meant chaos, and they couldn’t afford to offend anyone.

In peacetime, the Star System Alliance had order, and everyone operated within the rules. But in wartime, it was challenging, and offending the wrong party could lead to sneaky deployment of a few warships to your planet.

So, if not a standing council member, playing dead was best to avoid offending anyone.

Seeing the silence and noting that he didn’t have many supporters among the standing council stars, King Richard feared it was unlikely to use the Star System Alliance to deal with Byron Star.

Thinking of this made King Richard extremely unhappy. In reality, he had completely fallen out with Xu Mo. Skywalker had also gone and disappeared, and with no retreat, both sides were in opposition.

However, if the Star System Alliance did not align with his actions, given Byron Star’s current military strength, it was impossible for Lucas Star to attack. Even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory that would severely weaken Lucas Star’s military power.

“By the way, Blue Star Energy Technology Group also has our shares. Considering that King Richard simply confiscated it seems inappropriate,” someone from Carolan Star remarked.

Though just a base of Lucas Star, it had a certain scale. Can you just confiscate it like that?

Moreover, freezing funds was also their money.

Xu Mo hasn’t violated the contract. They couldn’t possibly breach it; it would be like giving money away willingly.

Even though the nature of Blue Star Energy Technology Group had already changed, with shares still there, Xu Mo would likely help them develop technology, right?

Currently, for them, Xu Mo is a friend, and Mandala Star is an enemy.

For them to betray a friend and align with King Richard is obviously impossible. They could clearly distinguish between benefits and losses.

This Star System Alliance meeting ultimately did not achieve King Richard’s goals, and he also faced pressure from various major planets.

Moreover, there were many voices in the Lucas Star Capital questioning the decisions of the Lucas Star Federation Government.

Ross held a press conference strongly condemning the actions of the Lucas Star Federation Government, stating that Blue Star Energy Technology Group was confiscated illegally without any wrongdoing, causing extremely adverse effects with many losing their jobs because of it.

The Byron Star Embassy also issued a condemnation, accusing Lucas Star of violating the Star System Alliance treaty and trying to seize Blue Star Energy Technology Group through war. Byron Star had twice defeated Mandala Star’s fleet power, playing an important role in the war for the Star System Alliance, yet Lucas Star rejected Byron Star.

The embassy announced publicly that if Lucas Star insisted on its course, Byron Star would declare war on Lucas Star and deemed Lucas Star unqualified to be a standing council member of the Star System Alliance.

The Lucas Star Federation Government was extremely angry upon receiving this news. How dare a mere Byron Star threaten to declare war on them??

Previously, Lucas Star could easily crush Byron Star like an ant. Blue Star Energy Technology Group also rose relying on them. Now, they dare to declare war?

……

The events occurring in the Star System Alliance were, of course, fully known to Byron Star.

Even the content of the Star System Alliance meeting was reported to them.

In the President’s Mansion, President Liu Feng, Xu Mo, and Qiu Yuan were gathered there.

The earlier war had already been exposed, and the entire Star System Alliance was aware that Lucas Star wanted to go against them.

Although Lucas Star’s Blue Star Energy Technology Group was just a part of it, and the core department had already been withdrawn, the loss was still significant. Much of their funds were also being operated through the interstellar bank.
