Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 150 Intelligence Collection Department

The only permanent members of the Galactic United Organization are the Portman Conglomerate and the Field Star Alliance.

Although there may be cases where someone in the hall sues me, it is obviously not cost-effective to ruin one's reputation just for this small amount of money.

So Sigert takes this document very seriously.

With this, the other party will not cheat. The price offered by Portman this time is not low, but it must be carefully guarded.

And maybe once it's done, you can apply to join the Portman conglomerate. Even if that doesn't work, joining NATO would be a good idea.

After joining Portman and becoming a state unit of the giant conglomerate, it can still maintain a large part of its autonomy.

And his state will also become a constituency, with certain ability to influence Portman's election.

Portman implements the Electoral College system, where a country is a state and a "winner takes all" rule is implemented, that is, all the electoral votes in the state are given to the presidential candidate who obtains a relative majority of the electorate.

Portman currently has 50 states, which are composed of 50 countries and civilizations of the global giant system.

This number has not changed much since Portman was founded.

Only once, in order to compete with Field for a neutral territory, a state position was given to the Aras civilization of marine soft-bodied intelligent creatures.

However, it was not sent out in the end, and the Alas civilization was eventually defeated by Field.

This was also Field's first active non-liberation foreign war, and it was a manifestation of Field's transformation from anti-imperialism to imperialism.

After Sigurt and the other chairman of the board of directors had an agreement, he signed the document as a national leader.

Then, he replaced all the robots around him with slaves and employees, and screened all the robots away.

It was true that the shot of the golf robot cast a shadow on him.

If I don't pay attention one day, the system will be hacked by Portman, or hacked by some unknown force.

Even if there is no thermal weapon, if the robot comes down with a stick and the angle is right, it may go straight to the west.

But the truth is that Sigurt thought too much.

At present, except for Portman who owns the second-hacking robots of other countries, other countries do not have this ability.

Even if there is an invasion, it will take a few days for the artificial intelligence on both sides to determine the winner. In this time, the alarm will have already sounded.

As for why Portman has the ability to instantly invade other countries' robot systems.

Isn't this nonsense, most of the robots on the market now flow out from him Portman.

I can’t leave a backdoor in the robot you bought from me?
Someone on Portman's side had revealed their Prism plan a long time ago, which was to leave backdoors and listening programs in all robots.

The man then shot himself eight times in the back of the head.

There is no point in applying for political asylum. The CIA will kill you, even if you run to Field.

But it seems that everyone has acquiesced in Portman's behavior.

In addition, the robot market has been monopolized, whether you like it or not.

"Hello, Chairman."

Sigurt came to a workstation where employees were fishing. When he saw the chairman coming, he stood up and stood at attention to say hello.

In fact, there is no such rule within the company, but because the chairman of the board has too much power, it is entirely up to the other party whether to continue working or to pack up and leave.

So although there are no complicated rules, everyone should be careful when meeting employees who are one level above themselves, let alone the position of chairman.

Big drops of sweat slid down the employee's face.

Siegert had obviously seen the other party fishing, but he was in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't say anything, just asked. "How is our business in the human integration going?"

Seeing that the chairman did not pursue the matter, the employees suddenly became energetic and answered quickly.

"At present, we have established branches on three colonial planets of the human complex. One of the colonial planets has been fully controlled by us and can carry out large-scale operations. The remaining two are still in progress and are expected to be completed within a year. Complete control.”

Sigurt listened to the employee's report and gently patted the other person's shoulder.

The employee trembled all over, then straightened up and stood at attention.

"Don't be nervous."

Siegert smiled and continued, "I heard that you have a conflict with manager Roland?"

"There is no such thing, Chairman."

Crozzo shook his head violently like a rattle and denied it.

"Recently, Manager Roland always talks to me about how you desert your work station and can't do any work well. But even if he says that about you, I still think you have done a good job in all aspects of your work."

"Mmmmmmm..."

Crozzo nodded quickly and glanced at the chairman gratefully.

"I have a task to give you here. I don't think anyone else has this ability, only you can."

"really?"

Crozzo was moved to tears all of a sudden. Even though Manager Roland said bad things about him behind his back, the chairman still valued him so much.

It is conceivable that I must have many shining points that others have not discovered, but were discovered by the chairman.

"Of course it's true. I will establish a new department, the Intelligence Collection Department, and you will be the director."

"Intelligence Collection Department...but, we..."

Crozzo is now in the marketing department, not a manager but a senior marketing employee.

The marketing department is the most important department of giant companies in the world, and is much more important than the heads of many departments.

He was suddenly transferred from the marketing department to an intelligence gathering department where he didn't know what he was doing. It looked like he had been demoted.

"The Intelligence Collection Department is my latest department, and it will become the most important department of our company in the future. Crozzo, do you understand what this means?"

Crozzo shook his head blankly.

"It means that from now on, you are the minister of our most important department, and the first minister. Believe me, my eyes are not wrong. You are the most suitable person for this position."

Sigurt looked at each other seriously.

Crozzo was moved again and replied excitedly after hearing this: "With the cultivation of these chairman of the board, I promise to work 24 hours a day to build this department and contribute all my value to the company!"

"Well, very good. I really saw the right person. Here are some details of intelligence collection. Just follow the above. Check your results at the end of the month."

"Yes, I promise to complete the tasks assigned by the chairman!"

"Well, well done."

Siegert patted the other party's shoulder and left the marketing office, yawning on the way out.

This is indeed a very, very important department, so important that it may not take many days for this department to disappear.
