Chapter 87: The agent racked his brains, but his boss came up with an idea
At the same time, Agent Searles, who had successfully boarded a popular travel starship to reach Volk Planet during the chaos caused by the downed starship, was standing in front of the Volk Planet construction plan display wall in the government hall, stunned.
This construction plan display wall was affectionately called the "Five-Year Agreement," and it covered almost every aspect of the entire Volker planet's construction:
From the most basic road network planning and construction to the routing of power and water networks, as well as the floor plans of the main urban area's commercial, residential, educational, entertainment, and medical areas, it was also noted that all existing land on Volk was government-owned, and any private transactions were prohibited. Past transactions could be reported to the Planet Commander's office with relevant documentation for discussion.
Spreading out from the main urban area is the agricultural red line area to ensure food security, and then the new technology investment zone where high-voltage power grid and energy conversion complement each other. It is worth mentioning that there are clusters of universities around, and new commercial areas, residential areas and medical areas have been planned near the university clusters.
Then there's the resort area. The hot springs, once inaccessible to the natives of Volk, are now open to the public. While maintaining the original privacy of the hot springs, a multi-dimensional, three-dimensional area has been created for in-depth vacations and learning about Volk's history and culture.
The once chaotic West is also labeled "Folk Culture Immersion Experience Resort," suggesting that Shengxia may have taken control of the Independence Army and inherited the military legacy left behind by various factions on the planet Volk.
The eastern part is the construction site of a large starship port, which directly states Shengxia’s ambition: to make every effort to build a new foreign trade and economic transaction hub port, welcome foreign investment and enjoy preferential policies.
After reading this, Agent Searles couldn't help but twitch his lips in mockery, but quickly calmed down. The map of the five-year agreement clearly showed how high-tech and dazzling the future of Volk would be. Furthermore, the star region was already in a prime location.
The Federation and surrounding star regions once tried to develop this planet into a free trade port, but in the end, no one could truly develop this planet due to the chaotic situation.
A five-year agreement, huh, five years. How could the Federation or the surrounding star field forces allow the planet Volk to rise to this level?
Not to mention that Planet Volker has its own "hardship": the cold winter season.
However... as for Shengxia's concern for the quality of life of ordinary people, Agent Sales was shocked but also felt an indescribable admiration from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention that in the current situation where a large amount of funds are urgently needed for large-scale infrastructure construction, she also resolutely wrote: "Strictly prohibit pornography, gambling, and drugs, and vigorously crack down on the black industry chain such as human experiments."
"In the future, we'll only have food streets, cultural experience streets, B&B streets, painted streets, and dance streets. But we won't have streets where women and men are prostituted under the guise of art, or even smuggling and gambling. The planetary commander said, we're all created equal, and now that we've stood up, we must never take a detour again."
"That's right. Strive to create a future on your own. Anyone who still has thoughts of surrender should visit the bomb site in the hot springs area."
Listening to the propaganda of the staff in the government hall, Agent Sells couldn't help but lower his eyes: ...
I didn't expect that the original deterrent would be used as a kind of spiritual encouragement and warning. If I had known this, I would not have bombed the hot spring area.
Moreover, everything on Volk Planet is very strange now. The changes are so great that we even need to redraw the battle plan. In addition, the previous communication lines are almost completely cut off. The best solution is to do nothing and wait and see for a while.
But as expected, the report sent back by Agent Sales was rejected. Not only that, she was also threatened by her superiors. After all, this operation actually scrapped an A33 battleship.
The cost has gone up, and the planet Volk is changing every day. They can't wait. Moreover, the situation of the melt cave and the ghost mountain - these are the things that Agent Searles should have explored and submitted in reports, but now there is no information. There is no sufficient reason to convince them to wait and see. What is the change in the people's mental outlook?
"To be honest, numbers no longer matter in today's interstellar wars. So I don't care about the untouchables of Volk. I'm only concerned about why your work is being so perfunctory. Can't you just contact informants and obtain intelligence like before, even if the price is a little higher?"
So this was the reason to wait and see! Because of the change in the public's mental outlook, it was very likely that contacting them would expose her identity as a spy. Agent Sales listened to his boss's "brilliant" advice, and a million curse words flashed through his mind, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
But the arrogant boss continued to threaten her:
"Anyway, it was you who came up with the idea of blowing up the hot springs area, and you were the ones who carried it out. We're only interested in the results. We need to cause chaos on Planet Volk as quickly as possible and remove all of Ghost Mountain's weapons."
"You know, I'm the one who's taking the lightning for you now!"
Agent Sellers: ...I really don't want to go to this crappy class for another day!
After hanging up the corresponding communication, Agent Searles looked up at the night sky of the planet Volk, thinking that since the original bribery strategy was no longer effective under the wave of controlling the minds of the entire nation, then threatening with the lives of other people who had been sent away from the planet Volk before, there would always be someone... who would give in.
At the same time, Ji Zhuifeng was also in the monitoring room telling Shengxia about the difficulties they were currently facing in their undercover operation:
"Honestly, everyone knows about the changes on Volker Planet these days thanks to the publicity from these big influencers. Plus, Volker Planet's welfare benefits have been improved, and many investors are waiting to invest. As for us who have left...it's actually hard to convince the other factions that we're truly dissatisfied with Volker Planet."
"Hmm." Shengxia thought for a moment and asked Ji Zhuifeng, "What if they're trying to discredit her? There will always be high-ranking officials in the surrounding star regions who are looking forward to them sending intelligence, right?"
Ji Zhuifeng shook his head. "Commander, you're overthinking this. Perhaps the leaders of the surrounding star regions will believe our excuse, but their think tanks won't. If that happens, the potential battle line will inevitably be extended."
"Opening a breakthrough quickly is truly not that simple." Shengxia sighed, but Ji Zhuifeng smiled and comforted her, "No matter what, we're all very pleased to see such changes on Planet Volker."
"Yes, the basic education inside the Rongdong has played an indispensable role."
If the people of Volk Planet are united simply by improving their welfare benefits, it will inevitably lead to various internal conflicts. As long as there are internal conflicts, the external star field forces that are eyeing them will seize the opportunity to split them.
But now, after eight months of basic education in Rongdong, the people have become more and more identified with the concept of home and country and the identity of the protagonist of Volk Planet. This identification will make everyone actively maintain the image of Volk Planet.
In the past, the centralized power of planetary commanders was too focused on boasting about their personal abilities, which inevitably suppressed the power of the masses. Now that this power is returned to the hands of the masses, it will naturally make spies who want to inquire about information fall into the vast ocean of mass warfare and gain nothing.
Coincidentally, at this time, Ji Zhuifeng's subordinates sent a message saying that they had received a message from an ACJ agent from a past star field force, and the other party asked them to meet in the Volk planet in the near future. This meant that someone had indeed secretly infiltrated.
Shengxia and Mo Siming beside her looked at each other, and were about to sigh that this was really a pillow given to me when I was sleepy - just at the right time.
"They must be eager to find out about the situation inside the Melting Cave and the Ghost Mountain area." Mo Siming had just finished speaking when Ji Zhuifeng sneered and asked Shengxia, "Are you going to have a robbing fight?"
"Of course, since they want to know the information so much, we have to give it to them." Shengxia had just confirmed this, and Ji Zhuifeng just sighed. He felt that although the lurking front would be stretched a lot, the other party took the initiative to come to him, which was much better than finding a reason to meet them himself.
Suddenly, Wei Jie's subordinates came over in a hurry.
"Planet Commander, look, this is bad."
"What's wrong?"
The members of the [Public Opinion Monitoring Team] that Wei Jie recently formed noticed a smear video that was suddenly gaining popularity in the public opinion against Planet Volker.
In the video, a group of people wore scarves with slogans such as "We are also from the planet Volker" and "We do not want to be abandoned" on their heads, and stood in the square to protest against Shengxia's concern for the people still on the planet Volker and his intention to completely abandon them as exiles.
Because the Volk planet was developing very well, those who were exiled outside suffered cruel retaliation, but Shengxia didn't care at all.
Ji Zhuifeng's eyes lit up when he saw the video. He said, "Great, great, this video is really great!" Now they can go undercover as family members of the exiled Volkers.
"Do we need to clarify anything?" The members of the public opinion monitoring team were very worried, but Shengxia shook her head and put the pressure on the federal authorities, asking what the federal authorities meant. The Golden Fleet guarding here was just paper. Their own people were bullied, and the people of the entire star region knew about it, but they still didn't care.
In short, it’s just two words: transfer money!
Agent Searles, who was sitting in the square of the main city of the planet Walker and watching her boss stir up this public opinion, felt that time was passing by quickly and the years were peaceful. Why not fake her death, retire, and go out for a walk?
She originally thought that after submitting the new proposal report, her boss would at least help her delay for a while. But now it seems that it is impossible for them, who are so "smart", not to make trouble themselves.
Moreover, once this piece of public opinion comes out, Shengxia's reputation will definitely be damaged in the short term, but it is only a temporary vent. In the long run... maybe a large number of Volker Planet spies will appear within the authorities.
We have to use them and guard against them at the same time. What's even more abominable is that after this incident, these untouchables on the Volk planet will be more difficult to deal with than before.
I didn't lose to my opponent, but I lost to my teammates.
