Generally speaking, Yang Jia was straightforward when it came to collaborations, never beating around the bush or dragging her feet. In her view, if she wanted to collaborate, she had to demonstrate her sincerity first; beating around the bush would only hinder communication.
So she doesn't like the kind of contract that repeatedly tests the other party's bottom line and then is signed in suspicion and distrust.
Of course, she wasn't completely without probing. But this was done before the collaboration even began. Once she was sure the other party was a suitable partner, she could naturally be frank with them.
Therefore, when meeting Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie, Yang Jia directly took out his plan.
Xuan Zijie and Bai Shu were both surprised by this overly bold proposal. However, they both knew Yang Jia's style and knew he wouldn't do this without a clear purpose. So after a few glances, they quickly made a decision.
"I agree," Bai Shu said decisively, putting down the plan in her hand. As she spoke, she subtly observed Yang Jia, her eyes devoid of malice, pure curiosity.
As for Xuan Zijie, after a moment's hesitation, he added, "I personally would like to cooperate with President Yang, but this is not a decision I can make alone. I need to consult with others."
"Of course." Yang Jia nodded. "I believe that the Xuan family, as one of the six major factions, will not make the wrong choice."
The six major families in the Chinese region compete with each other, but there are always strong and weak among them, and the comparison and competition between them has never stopped.
However, in recent years, due to the Li family's dominance, the other families have kept a low profile. The Bai family is particularly close to the Li family, seemingly following their lead. However, Yang Jia believes that if they have the opportunity to attack the Li family and enhance their own status, they will definitely not give up.
But she still felt relieved after convincing Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie.
No one was foolish. Although there were rumors that the Nirvana and Dawn Guilds were deliberately separated by the Li family and were actually one and the same, neither Bai Shu nor Xuan Zijie believed it. They also sensed from this subtle change that something was amiss between Li Bai and the Li family.
Later, the Nirvana Guild was headed by Yang Jia, a person who had no connection with the Li family, which further confirmed their speculation.
Since there is already a subtle intention to distance oneself from the matter, it is only a matter of time before a quarrel breaks out.
Which side to support is something the other five families must have thought about.
For them, there was little benefit in assisting Li Fang. Li Fang was a very domineering individual. Since he came to power, he had virtually controlled everything in the Chinese region. This inevitably infringed upon the interests of other families. Regardless of whether Li Fang needed their help to suppress Li Bai, even if he did, the rewards wouldn't be very generous.
But supporting Li Bai is different.
Li Bai is young and has a shallow foundation. After suppressing Li Fang, she certainly cannot eat such a big cake by herself, let alone give it to others. Naturally, she can only share it with her allies.
Of course, the most important thing was that Li Bai had demonstrated his strength. No one knew the current situation on Hope Star, but Li Bai clearly had a say. It was the retreat and the way out for all of Earth's humanity. With this in hand, how could they possibly refuse to cooperate?
Moreover, when humans arrive on Hope Planet, everything is not over. They still need to develop and reproduce, and they will still divide into factions and fight for power and profit. If they can seize the initiative in advance, they will definitely have the upper hand in the future and gain greater benefits.
So soon, Xuan Zijie and Bai Shu brought back the sincerity of their two families.
After discovering that all the researchers at the lunar frozen base had been taken to Hope, many people suspected something had happened there. Or perhaps something had definitely happened. After all, the reinforcements sent from Earth to Hope had only recently arrived, and they should still be battling the native beasts of Hope. Their sudden appearance on the moon was bound to raise suspicion.
Therefore, the Earth has decided to send another group of people to investigate the specific situation.
Of course, this was just an external statement. In reality, another group of troops were dispatched to Hope Star. This incident had served as a wake-up call for everyone. Although Hope Star was inhabited by researchers and posed little danger, the previous garrison was still too small. As a result, at a critical moment, there was a high possibility of losing control.
Of course, this problem has certainly not been unthought of before. However, Hope Star Base also has many resource stars, each with a garrison, surrounding Hope Star. Any attempt to attack Hope Star from the outside will naturally be intercepted, ensuring its safety.
As for the interior of Hope Star, at that time, after repeated aerial exploration, the Earth side determined that there were no powerful creatures on Hope Star that humans could not deal with, so there was naturally no need to station too many troops there.
In reality, Earth didn't want to send too many troops there. Hope was too important. If too many troops were stationed there, and they developed second thoughts, directly occupying Hope as their own territory and turning against Earth, that would be disastrous. If their lifeline was captured, even if they wanted to wipe out the rebels, they would be hesitant.
Besides, after all, there are three parties stationed together, and too many people will easily cause friction, which will eventually lead to internal fighting among their own people, which will not be worth the loss.
So when the researchers expressed their disapproval of a large military presence, the government naturally agreed. The initial goal was simply to understand the situation on Hope Planet, study its flora and fauna, and its ecological environment, to ensure that ordinary humans could adapt to life there after immigration.
Now the situation has changed. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the Earth has dispatched millions of troops at one time.
With insufficient weapons, even if Li Bai had the home advantage, he would not be able to deal with the millions of regular troops. The result would be foreseeable.
The Bai and Xuan families' sincere gesture was to stop the troops and dispatch an investigation team to Hope Star instead. Once they were certain something was truly wrong, they could dispatch troops. After all, not to mention how to supply these one million people, if Hope Star wasn't in trouble, such a large-scale operation would have the opposite effect.
For this matter, the three regions have been holding meetings and arguing every day recently. Finally, after balancing and compromising on all aspects, they decided to send an inspection team first. However, the scale of this inspection team is a bit large, with a total of nearly 10,000 people and an accompanying military escort of 30,000.
Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie didn't explain Yang Jia in detail. After all, they only needed to report the results and had no obligation to report every detail of how the matter was handled. However, Yang Jia was still perceptive enough to detect a problem in their explanation.
The so-called "balance and compromise in all aspects" is probably not that simple. Both the Bai family and the Xuan family probably have allies in the other two districts.
This isn't surprising; politics has always been like this. The three districts have coexisted for so many years, and while there have been conflicts, they've always been more moderate, and there's never been a prohibition on interaction. When interests align, reaching consensus isn't difficult.
But at present, Yang Jia has no way to contact people from the other two districts. Even if he guessed this, he can't do anything.
She could only hope that Li Bai would be smart and make good arrangements on Hope Star so that no one could get hold of anything. That way, even if she had doubts, as long as she couldn't find evidence, she wouldn't be able to take any action against Hope Star.
In addition, we also need to plan what to do next.
However, Yang Jia had already thought about this and immediately discussed it with Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie. "Sending troops over there would be very troublesome and would easily arouse their vigilance. It would be better to start the migration now. The Earth's anomalies are becoming more and more frequent, and it is estimated that it will not be able to hold out for much longer. Since the virus has been conquered and the biggest danger to Hope Star is only the native beasts, it makes sense to start the migration now. If the upper class people don't want to take the risk, then we should start with the lower class."
When he said the last sentence, Yang Jia couldn't help but sneered.
For those at the bottom of society living near the surface, even if Hope was dangerous, it should still be much better than Earth, right? Logically, sending them to Hope to explore and develop it would be a win-win situation.
However, the government did not do so, and although it attached great importance to Star of Hope, it had no intention of immigration, which inevitably led Yang Jia to have many speculations.
Perhaps, there are some secret activities that I am not aware of at the moment.
And there should be very few people who know about it. After all, judging from the expressions of Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie, although they were surprised, they did not object to this proposal.
By probing a little in this way, perhaps we can glimpse a glimpse of the truth. And only with a deeper understanding can we make more targeted deployments and achieve ultimate victory.
"This proposal is worth considering." Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie exchanged a glance and said, "The current situation on Earth is indeed getting worse, and the number of people a spacecraft can carry at a time is limited. Sending people over in batches is better than rushing out at the last minute. If we can complete the migration before anything goes wrong on Earth, we won't have to worry about this problem anymore."
However, they also began to wonder. Could it be that the people above them couldn't see such an obvious problem? Why hadn't anyone mentioned it before?
