Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

Chen Lin nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"The next step is to encourage childbirth. This step depends on Beloberg's situation. If everyone can be satisfied materially and the economic situation is likely to be better, I will arrange for the expenses of the newborn, including but not limited to financial subsidies and subsequent education expenses, to be borne by the Clipper Palace to reduce the survival pressure of the people."

"In the third step, I plan to revitalize the mechanical and other important scientific majors in various universities. I have already drafted a trial plan for talent training yesterday. I will show it to you, my mentor..."

"The fourth step is..."

Listening quietly to Bronya's talk about her plan, Chen Lin could give her 85 points for the overall idea and implementation methods. The conditions taken into consideration also covered many aspects such as economy and agriculture. Different plans were made for each of them, and there was no idea of ​​blindly implementing them without considering the actual situation.

The entire plan outlines Beloberg's development progress in the next 10 years. Chen Lin's brain is quite superhuman, so he quickly determined that there were no major problems with the content of Bronya's plan, and it could definitely be done as long as it was implemented seriously.

It can be seen that Bronya really applied the thinking model taught to her in her work, which is excellent!

Well, Chen Lin said that he was very outstanding and he actually taught such a talented student.

Next, he asked Bronya about her thoughts on public opinion and the development of various industries, and found that Bronya had considered all of them and her plan was well organized. All they had to do was find someone with all four limbs to implement it.

So why was she so depressed?

After thinking it over again and again, Chen Lin realized that he was missing something. He forgot to consider his influence on Bronya!

Chen Lin is a very honest person. As someone who used to be an ordinary person, he knows very well how eye-catching he is now. He also knows that a girl like Bronya who has just started college will definitely not be able to resist such temptation.

It's just a good impression, it's not something that cannot be faced squarely, why should we avoid it?

He is very sure of himself.

"Yeah." Chen Lin put down the various reform documents in his hands with satisfaction and said jokingly, "Well done, you really deserve to be my favorite student."

"Thanks……"

Sure enough, Bronya's eyebrows drooped again. Her low mood was related to herself!

Chen Lin confirmed this matter immediately.

When it comes to setting traps for people, Chen Lin is considered an old hand. Bronya's thinking pattern is placed on other things, but when he suddenly changes the topic back, her first reaction is often her true inner thoughts, and it is difficult to make mistakes.

The problem is, he didn't hide it. Bronya implicitly expressed her affection for him, and he responded in the same way.

It shouldn't be...

In this case, you can only hit the ball straight!

Chen Lin suddenly asked: "Do you like me?"

"Teacher, you..."

"is not it?"

"Um……"

"I don't hate you either." Chen Lin spread his hands.

Bronya said worriedly: "But I am just a person who will most likely become a commoner in the future. I am not worthy of you..."

"Who said you'll probably be a civilian in the future?" Chen Lin tilted his head and flicked Bronya's forehead. "We haven't talked about anything yet, and you're already discouraged?"

Bronya groaned in pain and waved her hands quickly.

"No, I'm just worried that you'll be embarrassed... and such a big thing will definitely require a lot of discussion before it can be finalized..."

"Discuss the hammer discussion!"

Chen Lin thought to himself that it was a good thing that he was observant, otherwise it would be troublesome if there was a rift between the two of them. He said seriously: "Bronya, you still need to learn more. The Empire has countless planets and territories, and is always looking for suitable planets to live in for peaceful expansion. Maybe you think that it will take a long time to discuss a planet joining the country. In fact, do you believe similar news? While I was talking to you about this, the Empire has added several more habitable planets? If they have to take care of such small things, the cabinet and the leaders will be exhausted to death!"

Bronya opened her mouth wide. She couldn't believe that this was such a trivial matter.

"Although I'm not sure what you're worried about, the Empire already has relevant procedures for matters like the founding and merging of Beloberg. There's no need to discuss it in the capital. We just need to send the processed result files back, and then have the Empire mark the location and territory of the planet so that everyone knows whose territory it is."

"so easy!"

"Right? So what are you worried about?"

Bronya pursed her lips and turned her head away immediately after hearing the question.

"nothing……"

She didn't want to say that Chen Lin wouldn't force her to satisfy her curiosity.

Anyway, the trust issue has been resolved, and the next step is to discuss the merger conditions.

Regarding the merger, Bronya was well prepared and took out a stack of documents and handed them to Chen Lin. The documents were filled with the various privileges of the Empire on Yalilo-VI, including the dissolution of the Clipper Palace regime and the transfer of power to re-establish the government by a special person from the Empire.

Of course, Chen Lin doesn’t care about this at all. If he really wants to dissolve the Clipper Palace regime, who will work for him?

So Chen Lin gave Bronya a severe lesson, and firmly stated that the Rand family would still maintain its leadership position in terms of sovereignty, and the empire would not take action against the loyal city-builder families. They could live the same way as before, but they would not exercise as much power as before, because one of the conditions Chen Lin gave was to let Bronya have full power!

Others can only make suggestions, and the only one who can make the decision is Bronya herself.

Chen Lin also slightly changed the inheritance system of the Great Guardian. In the future, Beloberg will no longer be ruled by loose city builders, but will become a power model with the Great Guardian as the supreme leader.

Of course, there is another person who can supervise the Great Guardian. Chen Lin named him the 'Governor', who has the authority to supervise all affairs of the Clipper Palace!

That night, the two chatted until dawn...

Bronya was immersed in the various conditions and requirements given by the Empire during the merger negotiations, such as scientific and technological assistance, material assistance, military assistance, development assistance...

On the surface, Beloberg seemed to have lost its sovereignty, but she always felt that Beloberg had not lost anything, but had gained countless things?

Fortunately, the two of them finally decided to release it to the public.

Belloberg holds a referendum on whether to merge with the Empire to legitimize all mergers!

Chapter 115: Planet Transformation, Adding Permanent Modifications

call--

The mighty wind swept across this land that had been covered with ice and snow for nearly a thousand years. No more snow flakes were seen, only the melted ice and snow turned into water and flowed freely. The misty sky was cleared of clouds, and the Beloberg people had not seen the true light of the stars for many generations. For the first time, the beam of enlightenment shone directly into this frozen planet, bringing unprecedented light.

After all the private soldiers and diehard iron guards were thoroughly cleared out, the people of Beloberg learned that Clipper Palace was temporarily taken over by the army led by Bronya. The military government did not issue orders such as curfews and daytime bans. On the contrary, it abolished many bans set by Clipper Palace during tense periods.

From that moment on, there were no more restrictions on Belloberg. Anyone could go to any place in Belloberg. The restricted areas that had been blocked were opened one after another, and even the lower areas were completely opened.

During this period, many people saw many people in uniform coming and going in the lower area. It was said that they seemed to be representatives who came to discuss various matters with Clipper House. In addition, many people who were unable to return home from the upper or lower areas after the blockade order was issued took the opened trams and headed to another area to look for their long-lost families.

As for why everyone was so confident in doing their own things, it was naturally because those terrifying-looking ships in the sky had issued a joint statement with Clipper Palace, saying that after examining Chen Lin's "body", there seemed to be a great chance of saving him.

Finally, he was rescued!

One can’t help but sigh at the powerful strength of these foreign empires. They can even resurrect the dead. Gods are no more powerful than this, right?

All in all, Beloberg's crisis was resolved most thoroughly.

At dawn this morning, many uniformed guards appeared in the streets and alleys, posting notices on the bulletin board. They also placed an elaborate iron box near the bulletin board and fixed it there.

You said Clipper House was going to hold some big event, so it was normal to convey the news by posting notices, but the question was what was that iron box used for?

The people had never seen such a strange sight before, and they came forward to ask the guards who posted the notice what was going on.

The Iron Guards had already read the notice and received orders in advance. They explained the content of the notice and the purpose of the iron box in detail, and some even demonstrated how to use the iron box.

"Anonymous vote? Deciding whether to join the Empire?"

Everyone was confused when holding the special red paper in their hands, but then they immediately felt the excitement of being valued.

What is Belloberg?

In a country where the upper-level resources are controlled by the City Builder Group and the administration, military, and finance are controlled by the City Builder Group, civilians have almost no rights to participate in various policies except paying taxes every year. At most, they can only complain privately when they encounter bad policies.

Now, the military government led by Bronya has handed over such a major event to the entire Beloberg people to decide.

"Beloberg has finally won the battle against the Rift. In the near future, the Rift will completely disappear from here."

"Joining the Star Sea Empire, becoming part of the Empire's outer star field, and receiving strong support and military assistance from the Empire in all fields. As the only country on the planet, Beloberg enjoys limited rights such as finance, administration, and military. The Empire has established a Governor's Office in Beloberg and dispatched the Governor to jointly manage the affairs of the planet with the Beloberg leader. The citizens of Beloberg do not need to pay any taxes to the Empire, but only need to pay taxes to the Beloberg government. If the Empire is invaded by Yalilo-VI, the Empire will regard it as an attack on its homeland, immediately declare war and fight back against the invader..."

"If they do not join the Star Sea Empire, Beloberg will independently develop all resources on the planet with the existing manpower and material resources. The Star Sea Empire will still help Beloberg clear the missing rift for free. After the rift is eliminated, the Empire is willing to establish an embassy in Beloberg to conduct daily diplomatic affairs, but will never interfere in any of Beloberg's internal or external affairs..."

This almost has all the good and bad written on his face!

There are two choices: join the empire and enjoy wealth and glory, or do not join the empire and continue to be self-reliant.

Do I even need to choose?!

When people learned the contents of the notice, excitement was written all over their faces.

If they remembered correctly, the empire seemed to be related to the respected Lord Chen Lin. Everyone knew how that lord treated them. Moreover, this was not the so-called selling out one's country for personal gain. On the contrary, the terms given by the empire seemed to be truly selling out the empire itself!

On the contrary, if you do not join the empire, even a normal person would be afraid of everything in the vast wilderness. After all, people who love adventure and excitement are only a minority.

The people's ideas are simple and unpretentious. They are satisfied as long as they can preserve their own culture, fill their stomachs, not be bullied by outsiders, and see the country prospering.

The Iron Guards called the families they were responsible for according to the area, handed the special red ballots to the people, and told them that only the results elected on this piece of paper would be included in the final statistics. Then the Iron Guards stepped aside, maintained the voting order, and kept an eye on the ballot boxes to prevent any humanoid creatures from doing anything weird.

I believe that most people are normal and their thinking patterns are fine, but among thousands of people there will always be a few abnormal ones.

The guards present were on duty for this purpose.

Far away in the administrative district, in the administrative hall of the Clipper Palace, Bronya sat on the chair symbolizing the supreme ruler of Beloberg, and a smiling young man stood behind her. In the hall, hundreds of the elderly, the weak, women and children were tied up with iron chains by the Iron Guards and knelt below, as densely packed as an ant colony.

At the bottom of the steps, there was a man and a woman standing on both sides, holding weapons.

The man is Jeppard, a former Silver Mane Iron Guard officer, and the woman is Sheel, acting director of the Beloberg Security Bureau, a newly established violent agency in Clipper Palace.

The girl sitting on the seat of the Great Guardian looked at him for help, as if asking for his advice.

"The Shamalov family, the Rockfield family, the McMillan family, the Chevnoka family, the Yorickh family... the paternal family, the maternal family, the son's family, these three families will be killed."

Obviously, that smile looked warm and cheerful, but when the young man opened his mouth, the words that came out scared the dozens of people out of their wits. They all started shouting and screaming, some were even frightened to faint, while others were venting their feelings before death, using all their strength to insult the two people on the steps.

Hearing this, even Bronya was stunned for a moment, and then she said: "Take him to the execution ground!"

Amidst all the crying and screaming, this morning's political affairs came to an end.

After all the ministers and guards left, Bronya still felt a little bit reluctant.

"Master Mentor, isn't this... a little inappropriate? These people are not the ones causing trouble."

"Master Chen Lin, I also think this is too arbitrary. Many of these people are innocent..."

Jeppard whispered his thoughts, but before Chen Lin could explain, he was met with Xier's contempt.

"Innocent? So what if they are innocent? Are you going to keep these troubles and find a chance to take revenge on Bronya in the future? Today you killed their fathers, uncles, uncles, and children, and tomorrow they will find a chance to kill you too. How short-sighted!"

"This... Clipper House will never hire these people again. There will never be such an opportunity." Jeppard shook his head, not quite agreeing with this statement.

Xi'er was so angry that she laughed. She leaned on the table beside her with her sickle on her shoulder and said in a frivolous tone, "Who said you have to go into this place to have a chance? Do you think it's hard to spread rumors and deceive people? Not everyone can judge right from wrong. If there are a few people who take the lead in causing trouble, you will waste a lot of time just investigating!"

"Stop, stop, stop."

Chen Lin raised his hand and shouted. He looked at Xier in surprise. He didn't expect that this girl could understand his operations.

"Humph."

Xier is a little stubborn, but she still listens to Chen Lin. If Chen Lin tells her to stop, she will stop immediately, perfectly following the execution logic of acting first and thinking later.

After the three of them turned their eyes to him, Chen Lin sighed.

"In terms of justice and wrong, I don't want to kill so many people, but we must root out the problem. Otherwise, it will be more trouble than it's worth. Don't trust some people's thinking too much. If you let them go today, it doesn't mean they will let go of their hatred for you killing their relatives and turn around to thank you. If there is only one person who hates us among a hundred people, the damage it brings will be far greater than the benefits brought by the other 99 people who let go of their hatred."

Jeppard stroked his chin in deep thought, and Bronya seemed to understand a little.

Chen Lin continued, "If some criminals want to infiltrate Beloberg one day, and some of the people we let go become traitors or guides, they are not ordinary people. These families have held various official positions in the Klipper Palace for several generations, or even dozens of generations, and they know a lot. Have you carefully considered the consequences they may bring?"

Of course he knew that he could not use future possibilities to convict people today. This practice was neither moral nor just nor unequal. It would most likely cause many innocent people to suffer injustice. It could even be said that Chen Lin treated the law and life and death as a joke.

But so what? Even if they would just live a good life in the future and not hate Chen Lin and Bronya's forces, he would still do this.

Why would he, who had the power, gamble that the relatives of the ministers who had participated in capturing him, infiltrating Clipper Palace, and controlling commerce would not bear the seeds of hatred in their hearts?

It is best to get rid of the problem once and for all, and to eliminate the root of the problem to prevent future troubles.

If he hadn't considered Bronya's low acceptance, he would have even wanted to kill all the descendants of these families, and he wouldn't even blink an eye to wipe out all ten clans.

The patriarch of your family once wanted to harm me and kept throwing dirty water on me. Is it okay for me to kill your entire family?

"This is not tyranny, but efficiency." Chen Lin said, "Beloberg has experienced great chaos, and social friction is serious. Various contradictions have been dispersed by temporary joy, but if they are not resolved in time, they will definitely erupt, even on a larger scale than the past few days. Fragile Beloberg is incapable and unqualified to make such a gamble. We need to build and develop, and we can no longer focus on those who hide among the masses and cause trouble. Killing is the simplest and most direct way. If you two can think of a better way, you can call a halt to the execution. I personally have no objection."

"..."

Bronya was silent, and Jeppard's frown deepened.

Finally, the two shook their heads.

"I'm sorry, Lord Chen Lin, I failed to understand the mystery just now." Jeppard shut his mouth convinced.

Bronya certainly didn't have any good ideas. On the contrary, after hearing Chen Lin's detailed explanation of the reasons, she thought that this would solve the problem once and for all.
