After sailing for a period of time, the fleet finally returned to the Shattered Star Ring. Han Xiao returned to the headquarters immediately and gathered his officers to summarize the work done during this period of time.
It was mostly the same old problems, but the slightly better news was that the Germinal Financial Group was developing smoothly.
As a subsidiary financial group under the Black Star Corps, they had people, money, and status. They even had the support of the army's armed forces. It was as though they had opened a cheater in the Shattered Star Ring, and they quickly gathered a large number of subsidiary businesses of the army and negotiated long-term cooperation with countless business organizations. This made the structure of the army much simpler.
It was worth mentioning that the Interpais that Han Xiao had poached from the dynasty had shown excellent business talent. The team he led had always been ranked at the top, and they had signed many contracts for the financial group. Apart from gathering subsidiary businesses, they had also tried their best to open up new channels.
In Sylvia's evaluation of him, Interpais had excellent business negotiation skills, strategic vision, leadership skills, persuasive eloquence, calm judgment, and many other qualities. He was an excellent management talent, and after training, he could be placed on the list of candidates for an executive position.
Currently, the Black Star Corps was filled with talents. Due to its large scale, there were many positions for various levels of officers. Philip evaluated the members of the army and selected different talents to form an extremely long list of candidates. The people on the list were all candidates for the army's officers.
Han Xiao reviewed some of the backlogged documents, and after discussing official matters, the officers also relaxed.
Han Xiao turned around and asked, "By the way, how's Nero's learning going?"
"Not bad, he's very talented," Reynold said concisely.
"Hmm, I'll go take a look after the meeting." Han Xiao stroked his chin and suddenly said, "I have a question for you."
"Please ask."
"If one day in the future, I have to kill your sister, what will you do?"
Reynold was stunned and hesitated. "This …"
"Don't be afraid. Just tell me the truth."
"… Why do you want to kill her?"
"Hmm, let's say she did something wrong and harmed the interests of the army."
Reynold exhaled, his face expressionless. "If that's the case, I won't hold a grudge against you. She has to bear the consequences of her actions. But by then, I won't be able to continue working for you. Please understand."
The atmosphere became tense, and everyone present had different expressions.
They knew that Han Xiao would not speak without thinking. Could it be that Rossellin, who had left the army, really did something?
Han Xiao looked at him for a while and suddenly laughed, making the tense atmosphere dissipate.
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Don't mind it, there's nothing wrong with your answer."
Leonard nodded silently and stepped aside, deep in thought.
Glancing at his face, Han Xiao shook his head in his mind.
When the three founders of the Silver Revolutionary Army came to the army to poach people, he had planted an Observer's Mark on Edmund. Not long ago, he saw the official establishment of the Silver Revolutionary Army from the Observer's Mark. The actions of Edmund and the others could not escape his eyes at all.
According to his original plan, he was prepared to sit back and watch the Silver Revolutionary Army grow. Firstly, he would be able to grow leeks. When the three Universal Civilizations paid attention to the Silver Revolution, he would be able to make contributions. Secondly, he would let people he knew very well trigger the conflict between the three Universal Civilizations and the Supercluster Civilizations. Only then would it be easier for him to deal with them. Thirdly, he would secretly make arrangements, feeling that there might be an opportunity to use the Silver Revolution in the future.
However, Han Xiao's thoughts would never remain unchanged. He would always adjust his plans according to the situation. Now that his position in the dynasty had been consolidated, he did not need this contribution.
The problem with the World Tree was something he only encountered later, and it had become a ticking time bomb. With the external threat in advance, whether he should continue to let the Silver Revolutionary Army become a problem.
The conflict between the three Universal Civilizations and the Supercluster Civilizations was the trend of the era. Sooner or later, these advanced civilizations would rebel against the ruling position. The conflict would inevitably erupt, and the Silver Revolutionary Army was the fuse that happened to ignite it.
Han Xiao knew that killing the Silver Revolutionary Army in advance would not resolve the conflict, but there would be a chance to delay the eruption.
No matter what choice he made, he had to deal with the upper echelons of the Silver Revolutionary Army. Many times, thoughts were more terrifying than guns, and reformers would not have a good ending. Therefore, Han Xiao was concerned about Leonard's thoughts and wanted to give him a heads-up. However, people like Leonard would not change his mind once he decided on something.
Sylvia looked around, coughed, and broke the silence. "By the way, I have an interesting proposal here. Please take a look."
As she spoke, she pressed the communicator, and a virtual screen appeared. On it was a document.
Han Xiao glanced at it, raised his brows, and said, "… Super Education Plan?"
"Yes, we have opened training camps on many planets to train reserve members, but it's too militarized. Only soldiers who have signed a contract to become reserve army soldiers can receive the training. The idea of this proposal is that the Black Star Corps will fund and open civilian Super schools in the Shattered Star Ring. Any civilian will be able to pay to go to school, and there will be no need to become a reserve member of the army … "
"Wait." Han Xiao raised his hand. "Such Super schools are everywhere. Every galactic civilization has their own official Super school. There doesn't seem to be a need for me to do this."
"No, it's still a little different." Sylvia shook her head. "You're now the strongest in the Star Field. This title has the power to attract students to the maximum. The civilian schools we open have a different meaning."
Han Xiao stroked his chin, browsed through the proposal, and casually asked, "What about the benefits?"
"Opening a Super school named by you can effectively expand your influence. You can treat this as a public service act." Sylvia spoke calmly. "Many of the army's current businesses are too different from the galactic residents' lives. Opening a school will allow the galactic residents to turn their admiration for you into actual support, allowing your influence to penetrate deeply into the masses. At the same time, many of the idle army soldiers will have something to do."
"Sounds good." Han Xiao nodded.
This method was also helpful in cultivating leeks. In the past, they did not do this mainly because their influence was not large enough and they did not have enough funds. However, the current Black Star Corps did indeed have the qualifications to open a school.
No matter how strong and famous a Beyond Grade A was, to the ordinary galactic residents, they were like celebrities. Apart from being a topic of conversation, they did not have much of an impact on their daily lives. Opening a school was a way to show their influence. By providing benefits to the masses, the masses would also support the various businesses of the Black Star Corps in their daily lives. The benefits were long-term and multi-faceted.
Furthermore, the size of the Black Star Corps had increased by so many times, and there were indeed many soldiers who had nothing to do.
No matter how many missions there were, there was a limit. Compared to before, the security of the Shattered Star Ring had improved a lot. The Black Star Corps' galactic pirate happy house had long become a taboo term, causing countless galactic pirates and scavengers to tremble in fear. As long as they saw the insignia of the Black Star Corps, they would immediately pull up their pants and run.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. Let's test it out in the Colton Star Cluster first and open a few hundred schools."
"Then, the funds …"
"I'll approve it for you."
Han Xiao waved his hand. Since the money was idle anyway, it would be good to use it to do something. Having money was also troublesome.
"Since my name is on it, I'm the honorary principal. As for the actual management …"
Looking at Sylvia's receding hairline, Han Xiao coughed embarrassedly and looked away.
The Great Mechanic Han was furious when he saw the hairy Lagi, who was spacing out beside him.
"It's you, Lagi. You'll be the principal for me!"
Lagi came back to his senses with a bitter expression.
"Wasting my life on a meaningless post. This is the fate of all living beings. I didn't expect that even after doing my best, I still couldn't escape from this cycle …"
Hearing that, everyone's mouth twitched, and they tried to hold back their laughter.
You can make it sound so fresh and free from vulgarity even when you're lazy. You're really a f * cking genius!
After watching the dejected Trash and the other officers leave the room, Han Xiao took out his communicator and contacted Lothaire to ask about the situation.
Lothaire's position was different from that of the Black Star Guards. He was a Shadow Walker. The Black Star Guards protected Black Star, while the Shadow Walkers operated secretly in the outside world to carry out assassinations, spies, ambushes, sabotage, and so on. Currently, Lothaire was the only Shadow Walker under Han Xiao.
After the incident with the Blood Gold Organization, Han Xiao had instructed Lothaire to infiltrate the black market organizations and collect intelligence while assassinating the middle-level officers of the Blood Gold Organization. After a long period of observation, Han Xiao had decided to let Lothaire establish the Assassin's Society as a secret subsidiary organization of the army.
Lothaire was very strong and had a decisive personality. He was a quiet and reliable adult man who could take care of things on his own. Han Xiao was still very confident in him and was not afraid that he would lose himself.
After chatting for a while, Han Xiao then went to the logistics department to visit Nero.
Nero had grown a lot taller. After going through the hellish learning process, he was gradually getting used to it. When he saw Han Xiao, he was very happy and rushed up to ask for a gift from Han Xiao.
Han Xiao thought for a while and took out a learning enhancement device. He placed it in Nero's hands and successfully received a Supercilious Eye attack.
After poking Nero as usual, Han Xiao looked at the interface. Nero was currently at [High Mechanical Sense] and had not continued to evolve.
Patting Nero's head, Han Xiao pondered for a while and said, "After a while, you can return to Blue Star to visit Bennett. You can also stay there to study."
Hearing this, Nero's eyes became misty, and he said with a wronged expression, "Are you chasing me away? What did I do wrong? "
Han Xiao laughed and said, "Haha, you misunderstood. I was thinking that it's not a good thing for you to always bury yourself in studying and not socializing. Coincidentally, the army is preparing to open civilian schools, and Planet Aquamarine will definitely be one of the first test areas. You can go to school on Planet Aquamarine and spend more time with Bennett. You can also take some time to learn from Reynold. It's a balance between work and rest. Just treat it as a reward for your hard work. "
Nero was shocked.
Godfather's personality has changed?
He actually wants to give me a holiday!
"… What's with that look in your eyes? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? "
"I … I'm just happy." Nero swallowed a mouthful of saliva and secretly sized up Han Xiao, afraid that this was someone else pretending to be him.
Han Xiao wanted Nero to learn [Perfect Mechanical Sense] from Reynold. However, after seeing that Nero had grown half a head taller, he felt that he could not squeeze him so much. In a few more years, Nero's childhood would be over. Perhaps letting Nero relax for a period of time would be beneficial for the improvement of his Mechanical Sense talent.
After all, there was a wise man who said that all work and no play would make a smart child stupid.
After settling the various matters, Han Xiao entered the Machinery Modification Room and began to update all the Mech Legion in his inventory. At the same time, he also began to build another characteristic of the [Divine Throne Mechanic] — the Divine Mechanical Throne.
