Hidden Yao Era

This is a burly middle-aged man, with an angular head and a square face showing a somewhat impersonal majesty. Long-term cell therapy and age-directed removal did not stop his sideburns and beard from turning gray. However, his piercing eyes seem to tell everyone that he still has enough vitality and desire to grab profits and conquer opponents.

Dressed in brown and black robes, Lucan sat in the main seat of the Chamber of Commerce's office, his hands resting on his head, as if thinking about his plans for the future.

Casto walked into the room, and Lucan scolded him, "So unruly, I don't know how to knock on the door?".

Casto also replied, "Aren't you too? Arrange me to the underground battlefield of Titan without my consent, and let me participate in your plan." Even before the Battle of Mars, I didn't understand what the hell you were trying to do. "

"Do you want me to apologize to you? I see you gained a lot in that battle, not only helped me restore my contact with the undercover agent of the 'Heart Sound Faction', but also got a girl. "

"Did you arrange Sonia too?"

"No, she was an accident, and it was up to the soldier Willis and Father Dimitri to arrange for you to get out. I didn't expect the girl to be so zealous, and Willis was blind, so I had to ask Father Dimitri to arrange the 'accident'. "

"With that bump, he brought me the micro-memory. "

"That's right, it's because of this that my family and I can stand out in the Martian campaign. "

"Aren't we losing much?".

"Instead of losing, we gained more benefits. Thanks to Father Tosergei, our property in Mariner's Valley has not been affected in the slightest. In addition, a large number of Proxima Centauri coins and electronic money have been preserved. "

"Father Sergei is in contact with you?".

Speaking of Father Sergei, Lucan walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of ice wine from it. He picked up a glass and gestured to Castor. After receiving a reply of refusal, he shook his head helplessly and poured himself a glass of wine. Then he said: "He, he and I have been friends for decades. I'm still a little saddened by his death. He has helped me a lot over the decades, and without him I would not have been able to control the wealth of so many Martian nobles. "

"Do you control the fund of the 'Brotherhood in Yellow'?"

"That's right, except that now the fund is our family's legal property, and I transferred them all to our name during the Martian campaign. "

"So, the Mars campaign gave our family the opportunity to fully control the financial lifeline of Mars?

"It's not, I'm just pushing the boat, this kind of big battle is not something that one or two people can decide. Rather, it is the result of several forces hitting it off. With that, Lucan lit a cigar and took a deep breath.

"So what is the relationship between our family and the arbitration committee?".

"A relationship that is both cooperative and antagonistic. "

Casto smiled wryly and shook his head: "What a vague explanation. "

"No, that's precisely the most accurate explanation, you have my interests, I have yours. Swapping, playing with each other, and maintaining balance is the safest and most stable state. Lucan took a sip of his wine and said, "But it's stupid for most of the nobles of Mars to want to break this balance. "

"Stupid, I guess they don't want to accept their fate," Casto replied.

With a

thud, Lucan put the cup on the table and said, "No, the reason why they are stupid is that they want to control the fate of others beyond their own means. These people misestimate their own power and mistakenly think that politics can be decided by economics alone, stupid!".

"Don't they still have some power in the army?" asked Casto.

"If they have enough military power, will they still need to rely on the 'Brotherhood in Yellow'? After the Battle of Mars, their power in the army was almost pulled out. "

"So, I'm ......".

Lucan drank all the wine in his cup and said, "In the eyes of the Martian nobles, the only high-ranking officer of the Martian nobles who controls the fleet. "

Castor asked alarmedly, "You're going to use me as a pawn?"

Hearing this, Lucan was a little angry, and he said, "Don't tie me up with those idiots, you are my family anyway." You just have to walk among these people and listen to me, and you can gain both power and prestige. "

"I'm a reformed person now, theoretically ......".

Before Casto could finish speaking, Lucan refuted angrily: "Are you stupid to read, whether you can have power is not your identity, nor your genes, nor your prestige." It's about having enough power and resources, and when the time is right, even the most unreasonable person can sit where he should sit. "

"In that case, I will follow your arrangement. Casto said.

"Very well, you just need to act on the opportunity in the next campaign. Lucan said.

"What's next?".

Lucan smiled mysteriously as he said to Castor, "That's right, in a month's time, there will be a terrible battle, and when the time comes, you will be the decisive force in the battlefield." "
