Commander's Anime Harem

Chapter 372 Nuclear Explosion

What you can’t get on the battlefield, you will never get at the negotiating table. The original meaning is simple and clear. If you can’t win, do you still expect to get benefits by talking?

This simple and easy-to-understand truth is well understood by both ordinary adjusters and powerful members of the PLANT Supreme Council, especially since they were previously persecuted by the Atlantic Federation and its lackey, the Eurasian Federation.

The way the Adjuster chose to protect himself was to use MS and neutron jammers to beat the Earth Federation so badly that he couldn't even recognize it. But even though the situation had become like this, the Atlantic Federation still refused to give in. Even though the PLANT Supreme Council was willing to extend an olive branch and make the greatest concessions to reach a peace agreement with the Earth Federation under the coordination of neutral countries, all the Adjuster wanted was limited trade rights and to guarantee PLANT's independence. However, the Earth Federation made incredible and inhumane demands.

From the mouth of the fat-headed and big-eared Earth United bureaucrat came a "peace condition" that would make all adjusters, no matter whether they were Sara factions, Klein factions, or any other factions, furious.

The PLANT Supreme Council must be dissolved, and the administrative rights of the colonial satellite cities must be brought under the unified management of the Earth Federation; the ZAFT Army must be disbanded on the spot, and its weapons and equipment, including warships and MS, must be handed over to the Earth Federation Army. Only the police department equipped with light armored vehicles and assault rifles will be retained. The security of the colonial satellites will be protected by the Earth Federation Army garrison.

Only a fool would accept such outrageous conditions. The person who went to the secret negotiations at that time was Speaker Sigel Klein. Even though he was a dove, in front of the Earth Union’s shameless Earth government bureaucrats who still felt they had given enough face to the adjusters, he angrily shouted: "I have never seen such a shameless person!" and then walked away.

And now such a shameless person with no bottom line has turned out to be the Adjuster himself. It can only be said that karma has its consequences. It also confirms Xiao Renwu's previous inference that PLANT and the Atlantic Federation of the Earth Alliance are indeed of the same origin, and the genes of piracy, plundering and shamelessness flow in their blood.

"Speaker Durandal, I don't see a shred of sincerity from PLANT. Am I too kind? You're even unwilling to address me as Your Majesty!"

Xiao Renwu looked unhappy. It had been a long time since anyone or anything had made him so angry, so much so that he almost forgot what anger was. After all, he lived a happy life every day as he had achieved all kinds of freedom.

But today's negotiations with the PLANT Supreme Council were like a wake-up call, knocking Xiao Renwu out of his beautiful life full of pink bubbles. Shame, anger, and speechlessness lingered in his heart, and the violently fluctuating brain quantum waves turned into a storm, sweeping the entire conference room.

Xiao Renwu's increasingly powerful aura of a superior and the surging brain quantum wave ability, even with just one sentence, made the adjusters in the conference room turn pale and sweat profusely, as if they were facing some upper-class race. Many timid ones even subconsciously hid under the table and trembled.

As for Durandal, who was facing the storm head-on, Xiao Renwu showed mercy and did not completely target him. He was just pale, sweating, and his legs were trembling. He was still able to maintain the dignity of the chairman of the Supreme Council. Otherwise, if Xiao Renwu used all his strength, at the very least, he would be scared to the point of defecating and urinating, and he would have to wear adult diapers for the rest of his life. At the worst, his head might even explode on the spot.

Faced with Xiao Renwu's anger, Durandal could only smile bitterly. It was his fault for letting the parliamentarians and the Earth Union put forward all kinds of bizarre conditions in order to test the emperor's bottom line. Now he has got himself into trouble.

Xiao Renwu was naturally warmly welcomed when he arrived in PLANT with his escort warships. The Chairman of the Supreme Council, Durandal, led all the members to the space port to welcome him. Who would dare not welcome such a large lineup? Patrick's expeditionary fleet of more than 10,000 people was directly evaporated by a wave of attacks from the fleet under the emperor. Now his son is still working in the Higra Empire to pay off his debts.

Furthermore, this meeting was to discuss the overall immigration of PLANT to the Shigla Empire, and all adjusters would automatically become Xiao Renwu's subjects. Since PLANT wanted to obtain the other party's protection, whether sincerely or deliberately, it had to pretend to cooperate.

But those who understand know that once people gain power, can they really let it go?

Just as they boasted of fairness and justice, with council members elected by referendum in the colonial satellite cities and the Speaker elected by all colonial cities, there was absolutely no room for fraud. Yet, why were all council members from prominent families, with far more genetic manipulations than most people? And why were their children also forced into marriages?

The lower-level green clothes that cannot undergo adjustment surgery, such as Miguel Aiman, the magic bullet of dusk, are members of the Cruze team. They have excellent driving skills and were very active in the early stages of the war. They also have their own exclusive, specially debugged special paint job, Jin En.

But even so, Miguel was just a green-clothed man until he died in battle. No matter his driving skills or combat record, he was far inferior to his fellow red-clothed men. The four young men graduated from military academies and started out as red-clothed elites. Except for the unlucky guy who was killed by Maru, the other four could drive Gundams. The most ridiculous thing was that the red-clothed men who infiltrated were all the sons of congressmen. Facing a group of greenhorns like the natural men, do the adjusters believe that there are no problems with such a battle plan?

The parliamentarians said they welcomed Xiao Renwu's arrival, but they were secretly colluding with each other. Most of them did not want to lose their power. Even if they went to the Shigra Empire, they hoped to enter the cabinet parliament directly and continue to be in a high position with power to kill and take away the people whom they regarded as dirt.

So before the meeting started, they went to find Durandal to discuss the matter of retaining their power. It just so happened that Durandal also wanted to test Xiao Renwu's bottom line to see if he could really accept a group of tens of millions of adjusters. If he continued to exclude and suppress the adjusters like the Earth Federation did, it would be better to do it again. In short, the adjusters must be treated the same as other ethnic groups.

At first, the atmosphere of the meeting was quite harmonious, especially since Xiao Renwu had brought Lux along. It was easier to get things done with someone he knew. Andrew, the Desert Tiger, was already leaning towards the Klein faction, and with Durandal's help, Malu, who had already descended to Earth, and Halberton, who had surrendered, took command of the Gibraltar base. Xiao Renwu had originally thought that the Adjuster was so sensible that the meeting would go smoothly. However, the following happened:

"Is the Higla Empire capable of allowing outstanding talents to take on the positions they are qualified for? Instead of letting a group of mediocre people occupy positions that can benefit the people?"

The first one to speak out was a person who was 80% similar to the already defeated Izaak Juul. The questions she asked were as sharp as her temperament, which was as sharp as a sword. It made people feel very uncomfortable. If they had to speak out, it would be like being pointed at by a gun.

Xiao Renwu raised his eyebrows. He recognized the woman. She was Isalia Juul, the mother of Izaak Juul, who had become one of the space heroes of the Higla Empire. She was a councilor representing the colonial satellite city of Matius. Her professional field was aerospace engineering. She had the same radical views as Patrick Sara, believing that natural humans were inferior gorillas, so it was not surprising that she asked such a sharp question.

But even the Greens of the Azadis Kingdom could be accepted. Xiao Renwu naturally allowed different factions to exist within the empire. As long as they abided by the law and morality, private scolding did not matter. Moreover, responding to this question could also be a dovish adjuster. Xiao Renwu gave his own answer:

"Ma'am, as you can see, the Empire boasts dozens of ethnic groups and races from different countries, even from different planets. While the abilities of Adjusters are exceptional in the eyes of the natural inhabitants of this universe, they are still not considered impressive in the Empire." Xiao Renwu casually retorted what Isalia Juul had called a mediocre talent. Seeing the silver-haired man's indignant expression, the man felt much happier. Since the other party had no way to refute him, he felt compelled to give the fallen dog a good beating. Xiao Renwu's lips curled up as he sarcastically retorted, "As the Emperor, I believe only those who sincerely help the masses and are upright can be considered outstanding. In the Higla Empire, a genius merely qualifies as an audience."

Xiao Renwu's boast has his basis. If one wants to join the Higla Empire, one must undergo a physical examination. During the physical examination, excellent genes will be entered into the empire's general database. It is nothing more than spending a lot of resources to cultivate a special clone, and if they are geniuses, there are plenty of ways to make them serve the empire.

For example, Kira Yamato, the unique super adjuster in the CE universe, has become addicted to the gentle paradise created for him by Xiao Renwu. Frey's abalone is Kira's motivation to serve the empire!

Faced with such righteous and politically correct words, Isalia could only retreat. From the underlying logic, this statement is indeed irrefutable, especially for them, a group of members of the PLANT Supreme Council who represent public opinion. For the people, geniuses are too far away, but bureaucrats are around. An official who cares about the people is definitely better than a genius.

"Then, after we agree to merge into the Higra Empire, can the Empire guarantee that our power will not be taken away? You know, our Supreme Council members are all elected by the people of the major colonial satellite cities. They certainly don't want natural people to govern them, right? After all, the vast majority of people in the Higra Empire are natural people... big... hmm."

As soon as Silver Hair died down, someone took over the baton and continued to attack Xiao Renwu, and almost mentioned the natural human gorilla. However, except for the members of the Klein camp who glared at him, the rest of the members had no expression, which implied that they agreed with this point of view.

Apparently, he had the support of others. A congressman named Herman Gould even grumbled a few words: "You talk nicely, but the top leaders of the empire are all your women. Such a political system is a joke."

"Hermann, shut up!" Seeing the atmosphere was quiet, Durandal, like a shrewd man, stood up and rebuked Councilman Okbert, who was still trying to speak. He said righteously, "From what I understand, the Higla Empire has a complete system of power. Only officials who have passed exams and gained experience at the grassroots level are eligible to enter the parliament. After merging with the Empire, we are all one family. Naturally, we must adapt to local customs and pass the exam to be qualified for our positions."

After saying that, Durandal bowed his head to Xiao Renwu to express his apology, but from beginning to end, these members of the Supreme Council did not address Xiao Renwu with honorifics. Combined with the new humans' ability to read minds, he almost understood what these people were thinking.

Overtly or covertly, they don't want to lose their current power. The best thing would be to be able to act tyrannically after being incorporated into the empire. It would be best if all the natural human parliamentarians were squeezed out and the political seats of the Shigra Empire were monopolized.

Seeing that this group of insects did not understand his intentions, Xiao Renwu decided not to pretend anymore, and the above scene happened.

"Chairman Durandal, I don't see a shred of sincerity from PLANT. Am I too kind? You're not even willing to address me as Your Majesty!"

Xiao Renwu had never thought that his tolerance would become a lever for these people to gain power. Looking at this group of unrepentant people, he was extremely upset and said something cruel:

"Since you don't appreciate my kindness, let's continue the war!"

Without waiting for Durandal to persuade him to stay, Xiao Renwu, who had run out of patience, pulled Lark away without any reluctance. The Klein faction parliamentarians looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

When the transport boat carrying Xiao Renwu and the Klein faction returned to the Queen of Glory in the center of the squadron, as the flagship gave the order, hundreds of Birmingham-class battleships leaped over in a mighty force, like knights holding high their swords, swearing to defend their lord to the death, and guarded the Queen of Glory.

Under the captains' orders, the fleet aimed its thick cannon barrels, like dense rain forests, at a die-hard colonial satellite city belonging to a radical faction, from which not many immigrants had left until now.

"Are they serious or just pretending?"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. He's probably just trying to scare us!"

The Sara faction members looked at the fleet displayed on the big screen with a bit of disdain. They believed that the Shigra Empire lacked population and Xiao Renwu would eventually compromise.

But when they weren't noticing, Durandal disappeared from the conference room at some point.

When the radical parliamentarians were chatting and laughing, certain that the Shigra Empire would not hold a meeting, the silent universe suddenly burst into an extremely bright light, and an undetectable number of particle beams heavily bombarded the outer walls of the colonial satellite city that could withstand the impact of micro-meteorites. The artificial sky was torn apart, and the sudden suction force sucked all the unprepared vehicles and personnel into the universe. The sudden freezing instantly killed tens of thousands of people.

What's even more terrifying is that the Higla Empire really wants to destroy this colonial satellite city. As the bombardment ends, overwhelming missiles follow. In an instant, on the surface of the artificial earth, thousands of enormous mushroom clouds, which are forged by the scientific power mastered by mankind, covering the sky and the sun, rise into the sky, sweeping away the city and farmland. The colonial satellite that can support the lives of hundreds of thousands of adjusters has left only floating debris in the world.

"Those who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy."

The bloody ultimatum on the main screen of the conference room carried an inexplicable chill, making the Sara faction, who had just faced the nuclear explosion of their own city and cursed Xiao Renwu for being inhumane, feel as if they were trapped in an ice cellar. Only then did they realize that from the very beginning they had little qualification to challenge the Shigra Empire.

Chapter 373 Post-War Conference and Immigration Arrangements

The hourglass-shaped colonial satellite capable of carrying hundreds of thousands of people was ruthlessly torn apart by the artillery fire of the Higla Empire's space army. The most dazzling thing was the light emitted by hundreds of anti-fortress missiles equipped with nuclear warheads. Xiao Renwu, who was standing with his hands behind his back on the observation bridge of the Queen of Glory, could not help but express his sincere admiration for the great power of the crystallization of human science, and admired the empire for destroying another insignificant enemy.

After destroying a PLANT colonial satellite city, more than 300 Birmingham-class battleships jumped back as if a rehearsal was completed. If it weren't for the wreckage of the destroyed colonial satellite, people who didn't know the situation would probably think that what happened before was a holographic movie.

On the bridge of the Queen of Glory, Xiao Renwu was looking at the satellite wreckage. Beside him were Lacus Clyne and Cruze wearing a metal mask.

"The remaining Sara faction's forces have been wiped out. Lord Cruze, you did a great job, a great job! You should be credited with the main contribution to this victory. When you return to Xihe City, not only will you be given a grand welcome banquet, but you will also truly become an imperial noble. Have you decided where to enjoy your long life?"

Xiao Renwu, who was looking at the wreckage of the colonial satellite, happily patted Cruze's shoulder to show his intimacy. He would not be stingy with rewards for his subordinates who were capable and good at handling things.

"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!!!"

The gift given by the emperor himself naturally would not be reversed. Not only could Cruze become one of the most dazzling groups in the empire, but he could also get a longer life. The blond masked man was almost crying. For a general like him who was born with a genetic defect and had a short life, was inhumane, and was even a captured enemy general, Xiao Renwu still chose to believe him and reused him without any doubt. He solved his genetic problem and extended his life so that he could enjoy everything that a normal person should enjoy.

When he felt his body's health for the first time, Cruze decided to follow Xiao Renwu forever and become his sword. Even if his sword would break one day, he would never regret it. This is the loyalty and will of Lao Lu Cruze!

However, Cruze did not forget to help his old friend Durandal at this time. He calmed his excitement and reminded him in a calm tone, "Your Majesty, Durandal's transport barge has been safely disengaged. We can capture the plant."

"I almost forgot Sir Durandal. He's done a good job, concentrating all those diehard Sara factions on unimportant colonies. Now we can move on to the next plan."

After Cruze's reminder, Xiao Renwu remembered that he had a meritorious official, the current PLANT Speaker Durandal.

After talking with Cruze, Durandal decided to use the remaining forces of Patrick Sala as his token of allegiance to Xiao Renwu. He openly used political means to suppress the Klein faction and made extreme remarks to get close to the remaining forces of the Sala faction. Secretly, he used the transfer order of the Ministry of National Defense to station the troops still loyal to Patrick Sala and their families in unimportant satellite cities far away from the satellite cluster, under the pretext of accumulating strength for future wars against natural persons.

He also revealed part of his destiny plan to people like Azalia Juul and Herman Gould to win their support.

After seeing that the ultimate result of the Destiny Plan was to make the Adjusters superior to natural humans again, they agreed to Durandal's reserve of military forces, the development of the Destiny Plan faction, and the pressure on Higla in the subsequent peace talks with the Higla Empire to gain more benefits for the Adjusters.

This is how things turned out. The Adjusters' arrogance made them blind. They thought that their technology and talents were enough to force Xiao Renwu to make concessions to the Shigla Empire. The consequence of their failure to see clearly was that they were wiped out in front of their last military force of more than 30,000 people.

When all the brave men were dead, facing the butcher knife of the Higla people, the more than 20 million adjusters still living in PLANT could only remain silent. Then they watched as more Higla Empire warships and transport ships jumped over through some kind of technology. This group of warships gathered on the outer wall of the deserted colonial satellite like piranhas, and then released a large number of industrial robots to start dismantling it.

As for the inhabited colonial satellites, the marines of the Higra Empire rushed into the PLANT research institute with the Cyclops, not only taking away all the researchers, but also all the equipment and computer storage inside, leaving not even a piece of paper behind.

As for the rebels, the Higla people did not let them go either. They simply made a hole in the outer wall of the colony satellite and poured in hypnotic gas that would only make people fall asleep without causing too much damage to the nerves and body. They knocked down all the people in the colony satellite and took them away.

Xiao Renwu's men took away people and valuables, and I will also recover the colonial satellites and take them away. Even the soil and water resources inside will not be spared. I will use an iron broom to take away anything.

Of course, the lives and personal property of the vast majority of adjusters were protected and ensured. Even when many adjusters tried to resist the soldiers and Cyclops who were looting their homes, they were knocked down and their entire families were arrested. When the soldiers of the Higla Empire, who had been busy for more than an hour, piled up boxes filled with everything in the house in front of this group of people, the family still thought they were dreaming.

It was not until they were urged to board the transport vehicle, and got on the vehicle in a daze with their large and small bags, and were forced to board the spacecraft comparable to a luxury cruise ship, that they woke up from their dream. If it were not for the combat robots armed with live ammunition that filled every empty seat on the ship, they would probably have thought that this trip was just a family trip with their luggage.

Xiao Renwu naturally would not kill all the adjusters. The development concept of the Shigla Empire was to absorb more population and create more living space, so it was normal to be kind to those who were willing to surrender. He was not a wild boar from the Qing Dynasty.

However, according to gossip, the Higra Empire Universe has prepared three times more nuclear bombs than PLANT has this time against the Atlantic Federation.

In the conference room of the Queen of Glory, Xiao Renwu was meeting with his staff and harem.

"This time, the harvest was quite rich. Not only did we gain population, but we also gained the wealth of the PLANT colony satellite cluster. This is an astronomical figure. Alas, I have to work overtime again."

Greena was very happy and also distressed. She was happy because the victory in the war meant that the empire's finances, which had been investing in infrastructure construction, would be injected with large sums of money to operate. She was distressed because she had to be busy again. The influx of population and capital would require more construction, which would require her to work again.

After expressing her opinion, the beautiful woman stared at Xiao Renwu with a resentful look and made a few silent mouth shapes.

After reading this, Xiao Renwu felt his scalp tingling and sweat pouring down his back. The shape of his mouth meant, "I'll squeeze you when I'm done. Wait for me."

"Combining the Adjusters who have already immigrated to our country, our total population will exceed 1.6 billion by the end of this year. The baby boom will put a huge strain on our infrastructure, education, and medical resources. I believe we should prepare early and establish comprehensive medical centers in major cities during their peak season to ensure that pregnant women, infants, and the elderly can receive initial stabilization and subsequently be transferred to larger hospitals for further diagnosis and treatment. The same goes for education; more funds need to be invested in compulsory education. There are also highly qualified individuals among immigrants who, after screening, can be deployed to the front lines. However, we need to prevent Adjusters from using their physical prowess to bully others."

Marina is no longer the young girl who had little support on the throne. She has become much more mature and dares to express her opinions in the meeting.

"Indeed, Marina is right. We need more funding to improve. The Empire is a vast undertaking. After the PLANTs are incorporated into the Empire, their resettlement will be another challenge. I suggest that the New Humans/Transformers, or specially released Enhanced Humans, supervise the Adjusters to prevent them from harming citizens who haven't evolved yet, while also controlling public opinion." Prime Minister Huang Wuyuan Youyang cast his gaze towards Lacus Clyne, who was attending the meeting, and said, "We need to do both, and both hands must be strong. In addition to supervising the Adjusters, I think Miss Clyne could take on the task of comforting them. Her voice is so heavenly that even I find it hard not to be captivated. I think she can accomplish this successfully."

Youyang saw that Lux was in a bad mood because of the death of tens of thousands of her compatriots, so she suggested that Lux use singing to comfort the Adjuster immigrants. This would not only make them feel better, but also stabilize social conflicts and contribute more to the empire.

"Um, okay, okay." Lux had been daydreaming throughout the meeting and didn't notice Youyang's proposal. It was only when Xiao Renwu, who was sitting next to the girl, gently nudged her with his elbow that Lux reacted. She said "OK" twice in a row, looking a little silly.

Although the dead were all remnants of the Sara faction who had been planned before, Lux, with her sensitive mind, could personally feel the cries of the people who died in the ruthless war after the satellite was destroyed. They were at a loss and did not realize that before death, they were still fantasizing about PLANT launching another crusade against natural humans. For this reason, Lux knew that this group of people had to die, so she could only pray in her heart, praying that the dead could be reborn as soon as possible and not come to this twisted world in the next life.

The new humans/adjusters present could clearly sense what was happening to Lux, which meant that the girl was qualified to evolve and become a new human like them.

"Ahem." In order not to delay Lux's transformation, Xiao Renwu coughed a few times to draw everyone's attention back to himself. After everyone's attention was focused, he revealed all the prepared remarks and assigned tasks to the girls.

"Mingye, the task of dismembering the PLANT colony satellite and arranging for all immigrants to arrive safely in China is now left to you. I am at ease."

"Yes."

Yu Jian Mingye stood up to respond, then immediately sat down, his manner very serious and military.

"Regarding the work arrangements for immigrants, Serra and Cecilia, you should accept skilled workers and engineers. While monitoring them, treat them the same as everyone else. Don't favor one over another, and speed up their integration."

"Yes, we will make arrangements as appropriate."

Sera and Cecilia looked at each other, and both women gave affirmative answers.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Xiao Renwu responded with praise.

"Marina and the others will need to focus on education. Regarding politics, you should focus on Youyang. Regarding military matters, temporarily transfer Klein's forces to the Army. Reina, please pay attention. The Academy of Sciences will only select key projects for now, and Tessa will make the final decision."

"Yes!"XN

"The meeting is dismissed!"

When Xiao Renwu dismissed the meeting, the war on Earth-3 was still raging, but it had little to do with the Emperor. He now needed to appease Lux and check on the second gift Dirandar had prepared for him.

Chapter 374 Mia Campbell

At its peak, PLANT had a total population of 60 million, accounting for the GNP of the Earth, which has a population of 15 billion. It can be said that science, economy, and industry were all dominated and led by the regulators, and the wealth they possessed was very astonishing.

The precious metal resources such as gold alone add up to millions of tons, and other resources are equally abundant. As a space industrial base built by the three major member states, PLANT has been continuously mining rich space resources to use as soil, oceans and other resources as the foundation of colonial satellite cities. The moon is also the mining base of the adjusters.

The wealth and science and technology accumulated by the Adjusters will become the nourishment for the growth of the Shigra Empire, and no one among the Adjusters will be harmed except for the Sara faction and other factions that extremely hate natural people. Cruze has achieved his simple wish of becoming a humane person like a normal person. When he received the reward, he also answered Xiao Renwu's previous question about where he wanted to go for fun.

Cruze: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I want to go to Planet 86. I heard the scenery there is beautiful. I plan to use the funds Your Majesty gave me to open a farm covering hundreds of acres. I will grow peppers, potatoes, and corn with my wives. I love Mexican burritos. This specialty food is similar to the traditional Higla food, roujiamo. Then I will live a normal human life."

The blond masked man spoke with longing. He really wanted to live an ordinary life, but Mu's father, who was also Cruze's father, did not regard Cruze as his own son. In his eyes, only descendants who surpassed him could be called descendants. This led to the tragedy of Cruze and Mu.

In the plot, Mu has colleagues he likes and juniors who fight side by side with him. Even if he loses his memory, he still has enhanced teammates who rely on him. He can be said to be very happy.

Cruze is extremely self-disciplined every day. He cannot eat or touch anything that may affect his body. Even if he meets someone he likes, he cannot pursue them. He can only hold power and money that he cannot use and watch others live a life a hundred times happier than his own. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Cruze to have extremely twisted thoughts and want to destroy the human population.

After all, who in the CE universe is not crazy?

"As long as Your Majesty needs me, I will rush back to serve the empire!"

Cruze has not forgotten who gave him everything. Although he wants to retire to the countryside, as long as Xiao Renwu calls him, he will return to the battlefield in the guise of a blond masked man.

Durandal can finally be with his beloved Talia. He disappeared from the PLANT conference room that day to pick up Talia. Then he couldn't wait to take his woman to the Higla Empire, where he would receive treatment and truly become a father, the father of his and Talia's first biological child.

Of course, Durandal also did not forget Lei, whom he raised as his own son. Xiao Renwu took the opportunity to pardon Lei's sins and helped him make up for his genetic defects. Now the tragic family of three finally did not have to realize their previous feelings in the fortress that was about to explode.

Helping Durandal made up for Xiao Renwu's past regrets, but the 60 million or so adjuster immigrants were his biggest headache. This was both an opportunity and a difficulty. Just as discussed at the internal meeting of the empire, the influx of excessive immigrants would inevitably cause social unrest and cause serious problems for the Shigla Empire, which was originally composed of immigrants.

This is not alarmist talk. Until now, the collective farms, fertilizer plants, and industrial soap factories outside the imperial cities have never stopped operating, which is enough to give us a glimpse of the problems.

It is very difficult to use administrative means to cram together ethnic groups with completely different cultural customs, languages, living habits, educational levels, and even the eras in which they live, and require them to treat people equally and prohibit racial discrimination.
