Chapter 831: Chapter 826: Comparison Leads to Discarding (Part 1)_1
“Yes, Your Highness,” Carlos Coleman imdiately nodded and said, “However, Your Highness, if that’s the case, the logistical supply pressure on our Star Harbor will increase. After all, adding 30 million people, along with various sorts of weaponry and food consumption, is an astronomical figure. The supply ships we currently have are unable to replenish such a vast amount of goods. The base’s supplies shouldn’t run into problems within three months.”
“I’ll allocate 10 first-class transport ships to you, along with a varying number of second-class transports,” Finn Lewis said crisply.
“Then there’s no problem,” Carlos nodded.
“You saw the fleet I ca with, didn’t you? I’ll leave you with 10 warships of the sa class as these first-class warships. Additionally, there will be a contingent of soldiers on board who will start the handover with your n,” Finn Lewis said, gesturing towards the warships outside. On these warships, nearly 20,000 crucial positions on each are staffed by orphans adopted from another tiline on Earth.
The loyalty of these orphans to Finn Lewis, under the influence of the T3500 model, was beyond doubt. Not to ntion that Finn Lewis had adopted them. He wasn’t worried about this aspect. As for the other part, synthetic robots would directly fill in the less crucial positions. Synthetic robots could completely adapt to such roles, but in order for a warship to perform at full capacity,
it’s best that all positions are manned by humans or Gene Warriors, with only so cleaning and environntal tasks left to the synthetic robots.
...
“Is this really true?” Carlos was stunned for a mont before he quickly asked excitedly, having of course seen the warships Finn Lewis arrived with.
These were not just any first-class warships. Although Carlos didn’t know the exact firepower of the warships, at least from their appearance, their power far exceeded that of any first-class warship in the Galactic Federation. It should be noted that previously the Aiken Family had only a limited number of second-class warships, much less first-class ones.
And now, he was able to command first-class warships, which for a military man like Carlos was naturally a very exciting prospect.
“Of course, it’s true. And this isn’t even the final number. I’ll probably supplent you with a full 100 first-class warships, along with about 200 other special warships. As for the specific numbers and scale of these warships, I’ll convey them to you later. You’ll handle the formation of the fleets. Don’t worry about logistical supplies; I’ll take care of it,” said Finn Lewis decisively.
“Your Highness?” Carlos was quite surprised, but he promptly agreed.
“I have other matters that require my return to the Noble Academy. I’ll leave the affairs here to you,” Finn Lewis nodded and said.
After handling matters at Star Harbor, Finn Lewis left promptly. Although he left, he’d placed a few trusted individuals in the Aitken Family, and he was confident that no one would dare to disobey him outright.
The equality of Gene Warriors with everyone else hadn’t caused any ripples. This was mainly because Finn Lewis had chosen his mont well, announcing it soon after declaring that the rights of commoners, nobles, and the royal family were equal. To the commoners under the Aitken domain, although it was sowhat hard to accept, Finn Lewis made a good point.
Since rights had been granted to commoners that were equal to those of the nobles and the royal family, it was only right that Gene Warriors be their equals as well. The two announcents hadn’t co far apart, so commoners, putting themselves in the shoes of others, could understand it, given they had been just like the Gene Warriors when interacting with nobles and the royal family.
Thinking this way, most people could accept it rather easily. Even if there were so who couldn’t, it didn’t matter, as their numbers were few and were unlikely to cause trouble. Even if they harbored other thoughts, they wouldn’t voice them, given the strict provisions within the new laws Finn Lewis had enacted.
Of course, the happenings within the Aitken Family also caused a stir within the Galactic Federation, as it was practically challenging the authority of the entire Federation. Many were calling Finn Lewis a fool.
But though so said so, it was mostly just the talk of the town, because these changes were being implented only within Finn Lewis’s domain, not throughout the entire Galactic Federation, so most were just watching the spectacle. Nevertheless, many commoners started mulling over their options after seeing the news.
These things hadn’t caused a great impact on Finn Lewis. Instead, on his way back to the Noble Academy, Violet Davis couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, making such moves may easily turn you into a target.”
“Oh? How so?” Finn Lewis looked back at her.
“Your Highness, you’re challenging the Federation’s entire system. Think about it, Your Highness, your domain can’t develop in isolation. You’ll inevitably interact with other nobles, even the royal family. Imagine when they co to your domain for trade or other dealings. If sothing were to happen to them by chance, and if it had to be adjudicated under our laws, wouldn’t that be disadvantageous to them?” Violet Davis said helplessly.
“So they’ll probably be quite against doing business with you, Your Highness, or having any interactions.”
“Heh, I believe in another saying more: if there is 10% profit, capital will be everywhere it’s needed; at 20% profit, capital becos eager; at 50%, it’s ready to take risks; for 100% profit, capital dares to trample all laws; with 300% profit, capital dares to take the greatest risks, risking even the gallows.”
Finn Lewis said placidly.
Those unwilling to do business simply aren’t being offered enough money, but does Finn Lewis lack money? He doesn’t, so this is no issue for him. Anyway, as long as he completes the tasks Zero gives him, Finn Lewis will always have funds. Zero is already giving Finn Lewis pocket money directly in star credits, although not much.
Violet Davis scratched her head, unsure of what to say. She didn’t understand the quote very well, but she grasped the implication. Just how wealthy could Finn Lewis be?
How wealthy was Finn Lewis? Violet Davis didn’t know, but by the ti Finn Lewis returned to the Noble Academy, no one within the entire school was interested in his proposed reforms. To them, these matters were essentially irrelevant, even though they would occasionally discuss them over tea or als, but it was just passing conversation.
