Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1287 Compensation in Place
The Federation originally had people in the Pirate Alliance Council.

However, after the conflict, the Pirate Alliance Council directly blocked information about these people.

The elders of the Pirate Alliance Council are themselves scattered in various places.

Pirate Alliance council meetings are usually virtual meetings.

In other words, the Pirate Alliance does not have any physical existence in reality.

All decisions of the Pirate Alliance are made through virtual meeting rooms.

As for how these people dispose of stolen goods, they don't stay in one place; they change locations every time.

The conglomerates behind these elders all have bases, or are directly connected in space.

The elders of the Pirate Alliance Council knew about the other party's background.

In fact, these people are certain conglomerates or even certain forces from the three countries!

Because they need a force to help them with things they can't solve through legal means!

In fact, these pirate groups were also taking on missions in a roundabout way, because their sources of information were all pirate alliances.

The Pirate Alliance Council will provide information on whomever they want to target.

The Silver Moon Pirates' raid on the immigrants from March Star was actually orchestrated by the financial group behind Pado Star to prevent immigrants from reaching March Star.

Because of the incident involving the immigrant spaceship, subsequent policies and public opinion can be used to prevent others from immigrating.

"I think we can give this a try."

"Although the intelligence sources are problematic, we currently know far too little about the Pirate Alliance."

"As for traps, we're not afraid of that. We can send a squadron to probe first."

"Of course, we still need to be well prepared. Once we find that the intelligence is true, we will strike these pirate groups with lightning speed," the head of the federal intelligence department advised.

Because of the federal state of Madhya Pradesh, it faces enormous public pressure.

Madhya Pradesh desperately needs a resounding victory, which would alleviate international public opinion.

On the other hand, it can also be used to combat pirates.

Of course, it can also enhance the prestige of Madhya Pradesh!
"Then let's formulate a battle plan."

“If this intelligence is true, it proves that the internal conflicts within the Pirate Alliance have reached an irreconcilable point.” The Federal President and Vice President exchanged glances.

Although the last attack on the pirate fleet was very successful.

However, losing a main fleet is equivalent to killing 500 enemies and losing 1,000.

And they even made history by accident, losing a capital warship in a war with pirates.

This is a disgrace to the Federation!

But what's laughable is that despite such a huge failure, no one has taken responsibility.

There was no other way; the officers and commanders of these fleets were all from major conglomerates.

The major conglomerates are unlikely to hand over their military power to others.

In other words, the officers on each warship in these fleets are from several conglomerates.

These conglomerates are even wary of individuals from certain conglomerates having sole control of a warship.

The main problem is that the warships are too powerful, and the Federation's conglomerates are essentially warlords who have no moral compass.

How disgusting are the federal conglomerates' greedy practices!

All planets in the Federation are facing severe energy radiation pollution.

This was done intentionally by the federal consortium.

The main method is to control the people on the federal side using anti-radiation drugs.

Moreover, anti-radiation drugs can be profitable!
In the Federation, the only fate is to be worked to death like an ox or a horse.

You can't lie flat because you have to take anti-radiation medication every day.

As for the law, it's just company regulations set up by the conglomerate.

Each state in the federation, and the cities within each state, can make their own laws and taxes!
Federal intelligence agencies then developed a meticulous operational plan.

One main fleet and two sub-fleets.

The main fleet served as support, while the two sub-fleets were combined into one sub-fleet.

It appears to be one fleet, but it is actually two.

Everyone in Madhya Pradesh is hoping for a victory.

Yang Bo chuckled to himself upon receiving news that the Federation had deployed troops.

Yang Bo didn't plan to inform the Witch Pirates either. It wasn't a good thing for the four pirate crews he was cooperating with to grow too fast. He needed to give them some setbacks so that they could cooperate with him properly!

The goal is to inflict some losses on these four pirate crews, as they are too powerful and difficult to control.

Yang Bo controlled five Class C warships, silently sailing through the vast starry sky.

Yang Bo had no idea how many pirates were still hiding in the shadows.

I wonder how the battle between the Federation's main fleet and these pirates will end!
"Is it possible to get another capital warship?" Yang Bo knew he was being a bit greedy, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

However, if Madhya Pradesh were to lose another major warship, the federation might have to split up.

Because Madhya Pradesh only has a few main warships available.

"We'll see how things go then." Yang Bo still didn't want the Federation to split up, because if it did, it would descend into endless civil war!
There will definitely be other states that want to attack us.

This is something Yang Bo doesn't want to see!

Moreover, the Federation may have the support of the Alliance and the Empire behind it.

Yang Bo ordered the five warships to sail silently while he returned to Bart's territory!
"master!"

"master!"

"Master!" Yang Bo, disguised as Bart, returned to the manor. Ning Xue, Bai Lu, and Hong Xiu all bowed to him upon seeing him.

"Ning Xue!"

"Does anyone in your family want to become an official? There are quite a few vacant official positions here in Dewenxing!" Yang Bo asked after sitting down.

"Thank you, sir!" Ning Xue was overjoyed!
"The positions of Governor of Devon, Minister of Security, Minister of Police, Commander of the Planetary Fleet, and Minister of Finance are all vacant!"

"We'll give you one spot in your family, let's see who in your family is willing to go!"

"However, it's best to avoid highly specialized fields like the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Police, and the Ministry of State Security, as they require a great deal of specialized knowledge!"

"The rest are the governor and the planetary fleet commander."

“I suggest he be made governor!” Yang Bo said again.

"Yes, sir, when do you have time? I'll call my family over." Ning Xue nodded.

"In the next two or three days."

“Okay, how about tomorrow afternoon then!” Ning Xue knew that Bart was quite busy, and that Bart was now the Grand Duke, not someone that anyone could just see whenever they wanted, not even her own family.

"Hmm!" Then Yang Bo called over Jerry, the butler, and selected some people from the territory to infiltrate the government.

Of course, these people will become deputies in their respective departments, and former deputies will become heads.

To put it bluntly, these people in charge are there to do the work, and the people Bart assigned are there to supervise them.

Yang Bo was also self-aware, knowing that his territory didn't have that many talented people.

Especially in highly specialized departments, such as the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of State Security, considerable specialized knowledge is required.

While one's own territory may possess such talent, in the political system, connections play a more significant role!

Although these people have powerful backers, if they are in charge of a department, it is still easy for their subordinates to make things difficult for them, especially for those who are parachuted in.

Then he told Jerry, the butler, that he had acquired a new territory on Devon.

The butler could roughly guess that it was because all the nobles who suffered losses on Devon had signed compensation agreements. The compensation would cover three nobles within a five-kilometer radius of the super hydrogen bomb explosion.

There is only one noble spot available five kilometers away.

They are all hereditary viscounts!

Even when Allen's hotel suffered losses, he received a hereditary viscount title as compensation.

Allen was overjoyed, because the title belonged to Allen, not his family!
Because it belongs to the family, the title can easily be taken back by the family later.

Bart also received compensation, namely three hereditary viscount titles.

Because the things that were secretly compensated to Bart were not suitable for public disclosure.

For example, Bart's recommendation of the governor and other officials could only be discussed privately and not openly.

Moreover, official positions are not necessarily always held by Barth.

Only noble titles truly belong to oneself forever!
There's also compensation for Bart's land and other things, which are calculated separately.

Yang Bo spent the night at Bart's manor.

The next day, after lunch, Yang Bo met with Ning Xue's family.

Ultimately, it was unanimously decided that Ning Jiansheng himself would serve as the governor of Dewen Star.

Ning Jiansheng's family migrated to Dewen Star, and almost got caught up in the royal power struggle.

Upon arriving on Devon Star, Yang Bo immediately provided a piece of land, or more accurately, an island!
Therefore, Yang Bo has once again granted Ning Xue's family a hereditary viscount title.

Ning Xue's family is now quite reserved when facing Bart.

Because now Bart is a grand duke.

He was completely different from the scoundrel she had met when they first met.

The noble girl who was snatched away by Barthes back then is probably the one who regrets it the most now.

The noble girl in front of them was still dissatisfied with Ning Xue.

If it weren't for Ning Xue, she would be living a good life.

However, ever since Bart's fame grew, the noblewoman no longer dared to say it.

Because Ning Xue is now a duchess, while she is only a viscountess, if Bart were to take it seriously, the viscountess would be guilty of slandering the duchess, which is no small matter.

Of course, there were also Ning Xue's best friends. After Ning Xue was snatched away by Bart, they all acted sarcastically.

Now, some of Ning Xue's close friends come from families affected by the royal infighting.

Because Ning Xue is a member of the new aristocracy, her best friends are also members of the new aristocracy.

The very next day, Yang Bo participated in the Senate meeting of Devon Star in his capacity as the Grand Duke of the Empire!

At the meeting, the Grand Duke of Barth submitted a proposal!

The proposal was that Ning Jiansheng would be the governor of Devon Star, the deputy commander of the planetary fleet would be the commander-in-chief, but Bart's guard captain would be the deputy commander-in-chief!
In addition, the deputy heads of departments such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Security, and the Ministry of Police have all been promoted to full heads!
Then Bart will recommend you for the deputy position!

Everyone knew exactly what was going on, so it passed unanimously.

After that, Yang Bo didn't participate in anything else.

Then Yang Bo went to the Roundabout Hotel and spent the afternoon in Su Ruoxin's suite!

Then he returned to Bart's laboratory!
The infighting within the royal family is intensifying, and many newly emerging nobles are also suffering as a result!

Su Ruoxin said she would have a child after a while!

Yang Bo knew, of course, that Su Ruoxin was trying to win him over.

Having a Grand Duke's support makes all the difference, and Bart now controls Devon.

In addition, Bart is both rich and powerful.

Su Ruoxin's tone no longer indicated that she considered his royal family members as her own.

Since Su Ruoxin has decided to fight for the throne, everyone else is her competitor and enemy.

The struggles within the royal family are extremely dangerous.

Then Yang Bo took a stroll around Prince Holden's Peak in the Second World.

Then I went back to March Star and submitted some minor loopholes to various government departments.

"I didn't expect you to learn hacking techniques so quickly!" Wang Muxue and Yang Bo sat in the room where they were using the internet. Wang Muxue looked at the vulnerability that Yang Bo had found.

“Maybe it’s related to my increased mental strength. I feel these things are too simple.” Yang Bo shrugged.

"Different mental attributes lead to different development paths; hacking tests logical thinking!"

"Think about it from a different perspective and it'll be different. Your cutting-edge technologies are presented from a very unique angle."

"Most psychic superpowers are actually just super memory."

"The human brain also has many directions of development; some are good at reasoning, some are good at memory, and some are good at logical thinking."

"Of course, with such abnormal mental strength, you probably also have mental attack methods, right?" Wang Muxue said, looking at Yang Bo.

"I don't know about that, because I don't know how to use mental power to attack someone out of thin air. Of course, I can attack someone by holding an object!"

"Mental power is such a mysterious thing. Sometimes it seems like you can grasp it, but other times it seems like you can't!" Yang Bo would of course not admit it, so he said some ambiguous things.

"Sigh, there are too few cases of psychic superpowers, so there aren't enough examples to learn from!"

"Moreover, the vast majority of people with psychic superpowers keep their attributes a secret!" Wang Muxue sighed.

"I want to buy a spaceship and go space exploration!"

"I'm so lucky, I'm sure I'll discover a lot of things, maybe even alien civilizations!"

"Do you have any good recommendations for spaceship configurations?" Yang Bo pretended not to know anything about spaceships.

"If you're going to explore space, you'll need to arm your spaceship!"

"These armed spaceships can only use their weapons when they leave Alliance territory!"

"But what will I do if you leave?" Wang Muxue said, staring at Yang Bo.

"I won't be out for too long, I'll just take a stroll around the area first."

"OK then!"

What should be paid attention to during interstellar exploration?

"In interstellar exploration, the first thing to be wary of is your own kind!"

"Because there are no laws in the vast starry sky, anything can happen, and pirates are rampant right now!"

"Can private individuals buy warships? Otherwise, what if I encounter pirates?"

"Of course not, but the exploration spaceship has powerful engines, so as long as we can spot the pirate ship in advance, it will be easy to escape!"

"As long as you don't reveal your identity, pirate crews generally won't attack exploration ships, because most exploration ships don't have much supplies and are basically poor."

"If you are captured by pirates, they will make you have many children, and then use your children's lives to blackmail you."

"There was once a wealthy man who was captured by pirates and held for over a hundred years. They extorted over a hundred billion credits from him!"

"When the tycoon was finally released, he had more than forty children with him."

"Ah." Yang Bo looked at Wang Muxue with feigned surprise.

"The situation is too chaotic right now. You should wait a while before going out on an adventure." Wang Muxue felt that Yang Bo's decision to go on an adventure was probably for some purpose, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Alright then!" Yang Bo pretended to listen!
That night, Yang Bo first went to Su Wei's room and the other two's room, and then secretly went to Wang Muxue's room in the middle of the night.

Wang Muxue called him a pervert. In the morning, Wang Muxue left first, and then Yang Bo left a message saying that he had entered the laboratory.

Yang Bo left March Star and arrived at one of John Lee's five C-class warships. The show was about to begin, and he needed to be careful, as he didn't know how many members of the pirate crew were hiding in the shadows or where they were lurking.
