Poverty makes me capable of anything.

How long the chaos in the heart of the empire lasts will be the key to whether the Black Tide rebellion can gain momentum.

There are too many factors to consider.

Finally, the math guy only listed "joining these camps will most likely ensure you don't 'lose out'".

The Empire faction is one of them. Even if the Empire is defeated in the end and loses the Black Tide, at least you've already completed so many missions that you can make a fortune.

Therefore, Empire is ranked No.1. Buy Empire and you'll make a fortune.

In addition, the Qianhexing Rebellion Army was also one of them.

Their advantages lie in their clear action plan, large numbers, far-sighted leadership, remote location near Paradise, early capture of an Imperial arms factory, and a secret source of weapons unknown to outsiders.

During this period, while resisting the imperial army's attacks, the Chizuru Star rebels have seen their forces spread to other places.

Someone hired mercenaries to fight.

A mob on a prison planet perpetrated a massacre.

The retreat of the imperial army gave them enough time to digest the gains they had made and to play a game of alliances.

……

"We are very grateful for the assistance that the Time-Space Dimension provided us before."

The representative of Chizuru Hoshi had a smile as warm as the spring sunshine, and he bowed to An Ran several times as soon as he came up.

What is the purpose of your visit?

An Ran asked directly.

She dislikes politics, doesn't understand it, or knows too little about it.

"First, we want to express our gratitude, and second, we need to submit a new procurement list."

"Oh?"

Giving money is great.

In a world where war never ends, selling arms is incredibly lucrative.

Moreover, making the empire unhappy is making oneself happy.

Let the neighborhood become a complete mess, so the empire won't have the energy to pay attention to her, this little shrimp.

The list submitted by Representative Chizuru Hoshi is no longer just ordinary weapons, but has risen to the level of strategic weapons.

They want all kinds of naval guns, natural disaster fire rain bombs, and space-based rays.

Space-based rays could be carried on spacecraft and released during positional warfare.

As for cutting turrets, those things are too big; they're defensive weapons.

"The issue of this money..."

It's not that we can't sell it, but money is a real problem.

An Ran stared at Representative Qian Hexing.

She had no doubt that the Thousand Crane Star rebels could afford ordinary naval cannons, and even if each cannon cost 100 million to produce a Calamity Fire Rain Bomb, they could still buy some.

However, weapons like space-based rays, which can change the course of battle in positional warfare when used in large quantities, are not so cheap.

The other side wasn't some rich guy; it was just a rebel army that had been established for less than a year. It would be a miracle if they had any money.

"We can provide some funds, and we can also provide some special materials as collateral."

"What supplies?"

As far as Anran knows, the Black Tide has no large mining areas, and the Thousand Crane Star Rebellion Army has not occupied any raw mines.

"Chizuru Star's arsenal." The representative threw out the chip.

An Ran shook her head: "The production plant for individual tactical weapons is not of much use to us."

"And the Kuroshio Southwest Shipyard!"

ha?

Shipyard?

and many more.

An Ran countered, "I remember that the Southwest Shipyard is not under your control."

What Anran currently lacks most in its complete military industrial system is large-scale shipbuilding technology.

This is the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of time and space.

No one would sell her shipbuilding technology and equipment.

It's probably a pipe dream to collect blueprints and complete a whole system on your own.

Instead of being calm, it would be more realistic to think about how to create an aura that can wipe out all the enemies in one shot.

"Our next phase of the offensive will target the Southwest Shipyard..."

An Ran roughly understood what he meant.

Give me the weapons first, and I'll use these scarce weapons to launch an attack. Once we take down the shipyard, it'll be beyond our dimensional range. If we can't take it down, then we'll just have to empty the armory.

And it has to be quick, because due to the instability ahead, the Southwest Shipyard is already showing signs of evacuation.

Conversely, if you attack fast enough, the enemy's retreat speed will not be able to keep up with your speed.

In short, the Qianhexing Rebellion Army is seeking investment.

"I have a project worth several hundred million. Brother, why don't you invest some money in it, and we'll split the profits when it's done."

"..."

This is different from venture capital.

Political and military investments are far riskier, and could even cost you your life.

What if the Yihexing rebels refuse to acknowledge it? Wouldn't that be a waste of their money?

She's always the one tricking others; if she were tricked by someone else, she'd lose all face.

"I need to think about it," An Ran said.

Qianhexing seemed to have anticipated Anran's answer, and he did not show any disappointment: "Actually, I have an even better suggestion. Please look at the star chart."

He unfolded the star map in front of An Ran.

The location of their attack target has already been marked on the star map.

The location of the Southwest Shipyard was also clearly marked.

“We will attack from the front, while the Hyperspace Force will attack from the flanks. We are confident that we can crush the Empire’s defenses within half a month. In terms of location, the Southwest Shipyard is closer to Baplo, so you can securely keep the shipyard in your own hands.”

After discussing interests, Qianhexing's representative started talking about "sentiments" and "ideals".

Everyone wants to overthrow the empire, and when starting a business, we should support each other even more.

An Ran's face darkened.

Damn it, we should support each other. Why don't you give me more money when I'm so poor?

Saying one thing and meaning another.

Oh man.

Emmm...

wrong.

Hmm, it seems like there's nothing wrong with it, so let's leave it at that.

Anran's long-standing concern has been the strength of the empire.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, let alone an empire that has only taken a nap.

If she were to regain her former strength, and with the panel on her character screen, An Ran would have no worries whatsoever.

However, being too cautious doesn't seem to be a good idea. If you want to gain experience quickly, you can't avoid going out and causing trouble.

Based on the current situation, it will take 20 days to a month to upgrade a mechanic.

She won't reach the Master level even in another year; it's too slow.

"I need to think about it. Give me two days."

"We look forward to your answer." The representative bowed again and walked out calmly.

Anran watched the representative leave.

It's not a good idea to attack directly under the guise of a time-travel universe.

but……

It's not that there aren't other ways.

An Ran thought of mercenaries.

War gangs that operate for "money".

Wherever there is money, there they are.

Organizing a fleet to impersonate mercenaries seems feasible. An Ran isn't afraid of being recognized directly. With the newly acquired blueprints, building a few powerful devices will prevent people from associating her with time travel.

Outsiders might think, "Even in a time-traveling world, it wouldn't be this sculpted."

The key point is that Anran has a portal.

This is the key to the plan's success.

Secretly transport the spaceship to Dolphin Star, then choose another route to launch an attack.

The available drawings include...

An Ran thought about it for a moment.

Air-Trapping Cannon, a powerful air-locking weapon in the "Fortress" war, level 90, with an extremely large area of ​​effect.

Unify the neural network of mechanical swarms and sweep away the enemy's terrifying mechanical hordes in ground warfare.

Arc beam scanner, a surface-scanning biological weapon.
