Chapter 83: Tian Gang Xiao is powerful

"No, that satellite should belong to our Federal Bureau. As the planetary commander, does Shengxia have that much power?"

At the Federal Headquarters, Professor Musk led a team to discuss the budget amount for post-disaster reconstruction with Shengxia. Honestly, Professor Musk was almost despairing of the people at the Federal Headquarters. He had felt that since he wanted to negotiate with Shengxia, he had to show some sincerity.

However, during the typhoon, the Federal Bureau's performance was too poor, but Shengxia and the others managed to survive the difficult times. So Shengxia was unwilling to give the Federal Bureau a good face, and he understood it in his heart.

However, the amount Shengxia wanted this time was too exaggerated.

You should know that even the financial aid to the core planets will probably not exceed 100 billion, and there will be various restrictions.

But Shengxia came up and asked for 200 billion without any additional conditions. He was really out of touch with the world.

Professor Musk's team had prepared a series of rhetoric to try to dampen Shengxia's expectations, but Shengxia ended the fight with just one sentence:

"What are you talking about? Transfer 200 billion to me first."

Professor Musk’s team members: ???

"I'm busy selling goods now. I've been in high demand for raw materials lately. Luckily, there are plenty of sellers and buyers. I'm busy now."

Professor Musk’s team members: ???

Turning around, Shengxia actually appeared in the official live broadcast room, with the title "Progress of Post-Disaster Reconstruction on Planet Volker," and started a big sale of goods in the price range of 9.9; 99; 999; 9999; 99999.

At the same time, she launched a service to top up gold, silver, and super membership cards and give them benefits. She also applauded and shouted to those who gave her gifts and donations:

"Big brother is awesome!" "Congratulations to our Brother Heika for reaching the top!" "How's the Lando Group? Is it going to top the list?" "Thank you, little Weiweizi, for your blessings and donations. We'll send you a small gift from backstage, so please check it out."

"Okay, Sister Santaili has placed an order for three robot dogs. Sister Santaili is so domineering!"

"What? Heizi X directly cleared out the inventory of 055D missiles. Heizi X, you truly deserve the title of Arms King of the Year."

"Kashan Group donated 3 billion to us. Kashan Group is a charitable organization. If you have any needs, please let us know. We will do our best to meet them. Thank you!"

A group of senior officials from the Federal Bureau were stunned in the conference room: ...

"She has no shame!"

Finally, someone expressed the thoughts of a group of senior officials of the Federal Bureau. How could she be a planetary commander like this, selling goods on live broadcast?

What a wonder! What a wonder!

Moreover, the arms sales gave off a sense of promotion at a hypermarket, and quite a few people placed orders. The new popularity and transaction volume attracted even more people to join in the viewing.

What's worse is that although Shengxia is selling mechanical dogs and old missile weapons on the surface, the donations and orders from major groups and organizations are as if money is not money. Who knows what kind of weapons Shengxia is selling privately?

She is the woman who put all the Federation’s satellites on the merchandise list!!!

The current influx of various forces is completely beyond the control of the Federation. Every second, donations, gifts, and sales are soaring at an incredible rate, even confusing the usually authoritative live broadcast fund prediction agency, which posted a message saying "subject to the real-time amount of incoming funds."

It can be said to be a large-scale charity black market shopping festival in which all the people in the star field join in.

Professor Musk sighed with a headache. Shengxia was indeed completely unconventional, but judging by the speed and amount of funds coming in, her request for 200 billion was not entirely unreasonable.

"In short, I will not agree to this proposal." The old-fashioned chief justice of the Federal Bureau shook his head.

"So what? We don't pay them, but there are plenty of people who pay them." The neutrals like to confront the conservatives from time to time.

"Oh my god, what kind of scumbag quote is this? Has our current federation become so corrupt?"

"I'm inclined to give money. Planet Volker is our frontier defense." The defense minister's face turned green with anxiety.

Yes, Professor Musk also agreed with this point. Now it is not just a matter of defense, but also the issue of the excavated Ghost Mountain. Although Shengxia insisted that what they found in Ghost Mountain were a large number of weapons and ammunition stored by the surrounding star field forces, in fact, what they dug out of Ghost Mountain was only known to them.

Professor Musk is inclined to believe that Shengxia still has a backup plan.

At present, based on the worst-case scenario, if the people of Volk Planet vote to break away from federal control, yes, Volk Planet may die, but the Federation will not only lose this line of defense but also bury a mine for itself, and will certainly be half-dead in the future.

Maybe the direct losses at that time will far exceed the 200 billion that Shengxia wants.

Headache, ah, his head really hurts. Professor Musk is rubbing his temples, while the radicals who originally looked down on Shengxia are already talking without thinking:

"Planet Volker was originally a dog we exiled, but the leash wasn't properly tied. Could it really fly into space?"

"That's right, she's turning the tables on Tian Gang!"

"As a planetary commander assigned by the Federation, she should have served the Federation when she became powerful. But now, she's threatening us."

Professor Mask shook his head. Suddenly, someone made a resounding suggestion: "She's just a planetary commander. At worst, we can just replace her."

It's true that where there's a Crouching Dragon, there's a Phoenix. Professor Musk was so angry he laughed. He was shaking all over and had an urge to just tear the man's head off and shake it off.

"If it were her turn, who would be willing to go to Planet Volk now, huh? Just tell me who would be willing."

Still feeling unsatisfied after this retort, Professor Mask stood up and started to rant, "Forget about taking over as planetary commander? Right now, there's not even anyone willing to sign up for the expedition to Volk to explore Ghost Mountain. And you're forcing a newly graduated conscript to sign up, and then replacing her? I think you're out of your mind."

After a full-throated outburst, the weak radicals could only reluctantly and quietly retort to Musk:

"Well... we can't just let her mess around on Planet Volk."

Messing around, yeah, isn't midsummer messing around right now? Desperate, the planetary commander is directly selling goods through livestreams, even taking internet celebrities who appeared out of nowhere to taste food at the reconstruction site, and actually firing munitions to verify their quality...

If she continues to broadcast live like this, she will soon expose all the Federation's underwear. Is the Golden Fleet controlled by the Seros family just a decoration? Why doesn't she say anything to stop Shengxia's madness?

Yes, the attitude of the Seros family is also very strange. They are silent as if some storm is brewing.

The more he thought about it, the more curse words he wanted to say in his heart, but in the end he could only weakly reply: "The money still needs to be paid, it's just the amount. We will talk about it again, talk about it again."

At the same time, on Shengxia's side, Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen looked at the ever-expanding amount of funds in the background, and saw Shengxia's attitude of accepting it all. Their hearts went from ecstasy at the beginning to gradually worrying, especially when funds from forces that were more powerful than the surrounding star fields and could even suppress the Federation also poured in. They were extremely nervous.

This was not a good thing. After all, giving money often meant an increase in deterrence and influence at the national level. Shengxia was also waiting for a response from the Federal Bureau. She was essentially trying to "tread water" among these mixed forces, and she felt that it would bring trouble to her later.

Finally, after another arms order was concluded, Fu Qianshen stepped forward and signaled the backstage staff to cut off the live broadcast. Then he asked Shengxia worriedly, "Isn't this... a bit too much?"

Sheng Xia glanced back at Fu Qianshen and Wei Jie, who were frowning, and smiled to comfort them: "What do you mean?"

"The Federation's asking price is still the same as it is now... no matter who the other party is, they will ship the goods."

midsummer:……

She came down from the stage where she was live-streaming her goods and signaled Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen to follow her into the ice-breaking police car next to her. The communication signal inside the police car was connected to An Yuan and the others from the Independence Army.

After getting into the police car, Shengxia asked An Yuan without any further ado what she thought of the current situation.

"If I'm not mistaken, you want to attract more capital to Volk. The more forces involved, the more cautious the surrounding star regions will be in the face of such a grand occasion."

"It's not just the leaders of the surrounding star regions who are hesitant to act rashly. The people in the Federal Bureau should also use their brains and think about whether it's a bit unreasonable to restore the original welfare benefits to Planet Volk."

An Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said something unexpected: "If we don't openly embarrass the other people on Planet Volk, then the focus of the problem will definitely fall on you. This means you will face more assassinations and other conspiracies than in the past."

Sheng Xia: ... This is exactly what she wants. Once Volk is well-built, the leadership team is formed, the independence army returns, and An Yuan successfully takes over the position of planetary commander, she!!! She can finally escape to the hot springs. After all... ever since she retired and was tricked into coming here, she hasn't even had a hot spring bath.

It's so tragic! How could any retiree be as miserable as her?!

Retracting her thoughts, Shengxia coughed, not wanting to dwell on this issue any further, and turned to ask Anyuan what she thought of the 200 billion in aid funds she had proposed to the federal government.

An Yuan: ...

After a cold snort, An Yuan chose to cut off the contact directly, as if to express his dissatisfaction to Sheng Xia. Sheng Xia:???

No, she has learned this trick!

Sheng Xia turned to look at Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen. Seeing that they both looked unhappy, she offered a soothing explanation: "Actually, I raised this price simply because I wanted to get the roof off before opening the windows. That way, it would be easier to discuss with the federal government later."

As a result, Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen followed An Yuan's lead, snorted coldly, and got out of the icebreaking police car, leaving Sheng Xia behind...

They just went on like this...

Shengxia was a little dazed and stood in the ice-breaking police car.
