The Seventh Base

Chapter 785: Chapter 128 Xu Mo’s Blueprint_2

“Now, Mr. Liu Feng will address everyone.”

As Xu Mo said this, he stepped away from the camera, leaving it to Liu Feng, whom he trusted to handle things well.

Xu Mo didn’t give the public a choice, for they were often ignorant and easily swayed by public opinion, deceived. What they saw was often what others intended for them to see, and Xu Mo himself was adept at leveraging public sentiment.

Throughout his journey from the Underworld, to Steel Dome City, Chuanxing City, and Lucas Star, he had seen too many such incidents.

After dealing with matters here, Xu Mo walked outside. The Federation Government was left to Liu Feng and his team; Xu Mo had many other things to do, and he might not even be able to stay often on Byron Star in the future.

“Xu Mo, Elder Xiang is here and wants to see you.” Fu Yuan approached Xu Mo and spoke, being a member of one of the prestigious families after the first heroes of the Federation, their status remained high. Even now, the Divine Sword Bureau still showed Elder Xiang the respect he deserved.

Xu Mo came outside and saw Elder Xiang, Xiang Ye, and Xiang Yuner, amongst others.

“Elder Xiang,” Xu Mo approached and greeted with a smile, “Miss Yuner, it’s been a while.”

In the past, he had a good relationship with Xiang Yuner, who had even become good friends with Mia.

“Has Mia returned?” Xiang Yuner asked with a smile.

“Yes, she’s back, in Steel Dome City. You’ll be able to see her often from now on,” Xu Mo replied with a smile. “Miss Yuner, if you have time, you can chat with Miss Mia.”

Elder Xiang watched the two talking and thought that Xu Mo still had a fondness for Yuner. At one point, he had considered having Xu Mo marry into their family, but naturally, such thoughts were no longer entertained. If Yuner could marry Xu Mo smoothly, it would be good enough, let alone him marrying into their family. He didn’t mind this match at all.

Xu Mo had come a long way and was no longer the talented young man he used to be.

“Xu Mo, this time, you have saved the Federation and the Xiang Family. On behalf of the Federation and the Xiang Family, I thank you,” Elder Xiang said.

“You’re too kind, Elder Xiang,” Xu Mo replied. He did all this not just for the Federation but also for himself. He needed his own support base, and taking over Byron Star was undoubtedly of strategic importance for Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

“However… Xu Mo, is it really appropriate for Liu Feng to assume the presidency?” Elder Xiang spoke again. He didn’t like Liu Feng very much and always considered him weak, opposing Divine Sword Bureau’s promotion of him.

“I believe Mr. Liu Feng is quite suitable,” Xu Mo responded with a smile.

“Actually, there are more suitable candidates,” Elder Xiang suggested. “Why not let Liu Feng serve as a transition and decide later?”

“Elder Xiang, is this why you came?” Xu Mo asked.

“It’s just a suggestion,” Elder Xiang shook his head, sensing Xu Mo’s resistance to his words.

“What do you plan to do about the military, Xu Mo? The Xiang Family and a few other families have always had influence within the army; perhaps they can help you,” Elder Xiang continued.

“Elder Xiang, the Steel Dome City base will temporarily take control of the Federation Army. After the verdict, the army will be reformed. Competent individuals will rise, and the army will be de-familialized,” Xu Mo stated. “Elder Xiang, times have changed. If Byron Star wants to continue developing, it needs a complete overhaul. We can’t go back to the way things were.”

Xu Mo reflected that perhaps Elder Xiang, being old and accustomed to power for many years, still wanted to reclaim the Xiang Family’s power and return to the age of family dominance.

If the Divine Sword Bureau had had a stronger voice initially, the Federation wouldn’t have come to this.

“Xu Mo, the Federation was founded by our forebears. When it comes to Byron Star, the families are the most loyal,” Elder Xiang said, his tone becoming heavier.

The most loyal to what? To their own interests or to the Federation?

Although Xu Mo didn’t blame Elder Xiang for his past actions, the times were different now. Elder Xiang still wanted the families to hold power, which was impossible.

“That was the old Federation, and the old Federation died a few years ago,” Xu Mo looked at Elder Xiang and said, “Mr. Xiang, the new Federation is what I fought for, not the work of several major families.”

“Xu Mo, you…” Elder Xiang looked angrily at Xu Mo. Was he preparing to kick the families to the curb?

“Grandpa.” Xiang Yuner called out, wasn’t it agreed that this visit was to express gratitude? Why had it turned out like this?

“Miss Yuner, I apologize,” Xu Mo said to Xiang Yuner, and then spoke, “Elder Xiang is old. Please see Elder Xiang back, and from now on, take good care of his retirement.”

Elder Xiang’s face turned red with frustration, unable to speak, but how could he protest when Conrad and the others had already cleaned house on the family’s key forces, and Xu Mo was at the height of his popularity, where people’s hearts lay? What did the family have to counter with?

Xu Mo turned and left, paying no attention to the Xiang family members.

Xiang Ye sighed inwardly as he watched the scene before him. His father truly was getting on in years. He still saw Xu Mo as just another young person, but could a common person establish the Blue Star Energy Technology Group and secure the Byron Star Federation?

It was impossible for their family to regain control.

Xu Mo was the one who executed Federation President Conrad on the spot. He was undoubtedly ruthless. If the Xiang family angered him, Xiang Ye had no doubt that Xu Mo would take action against them.

“Dad, let’s go back,” Xiang Ye urged. The tide of time surged forward, and it was time for the major families, led by the Xiang family, to exit the stage of history. The era no longer belonged to them.

Byron Star was about to usher in the era of Xu Mo.

The new Federation government was established with unprecedented speed, with Qiu Yuan leading the base military district in taking over Byron Star’s military affairs, while the Divine Sword Bureau took charge of all matters.

The entire city was in a state of excitement, and the major cities of the Federation also began purging the rebellious forces, with the Divine Sword Bureau already dispatching people to straighten things out.

Besides, there were trials, convictions, and a series of other matters. The new government of Byron Star was bustling like mad, yet still mired in chaos.

Xu Mo, unable to deal with these issues, simply left them behind and went to the military district.

The military district had sustained severe damage and was under reconstruction.

At that moment, a huge warship loomed in front of Xu Mo, with Qiu Yuan beside him. Xu Mo asked, “Can the warships be repaired?”

“Two of them are fine, but the third is severely damaged and will be quite troublesome to fix,” Qiu Yuan said.

“They can be used for research,” Xu Mo said, hinting that his group’s future goal was to be capable of producing warships.

“Right,” Qiu Yuan nodded. “What’s the next move?”

“After straightening out the Federation’s order, the most important task is to set up defenses within Chuanxing City’s urban cluster, creating a strong defensive position as fast as possible to deal with any wars that might break out in the future,” Xu Mo said. This was the top priority because if their defenses were weak, any invasion or war of revenge could nullify all their efforts, rendering them for naught.

“Right now we have seven warships, so our strength is already not too weak. If we build a ground defense system, we should be able to muster some combat power,” Qiu Yuan said.

“Good, let’s put the military district in order first and construct the defense line. Then we can build a base for the Blue Star Energy Technology Group in Chuanxing City to produce weapons and equipment, and the military’s personnel can also be involved,” Xu Mo said, planning to replicate the operation of Steel Dome City.

“Additionally, the Federation government has been fragmented for years, with cities isolated by ruins. The cities are autonomous, which although grants them a high degree of self-governance, is detrimental to unifying strength. Next, we have another important task: ending the Federation’s fragmentation. All cities must center around the Federation and establish close connections, clear the ruins and monsters, and expand the city territories.”

“That’s no longer my concern,” Qiu Yuan shrugged, his responsibility lay with military affairs.

“Right,” Xu Mo nodded. Next, they would need to select a sufficient number of talents from the Chuanxing City cluster, but there was no shortage of talents among Byron Star’s vast population.

They needed to form a unifying force, to twist the Federation into a single-minded entity, and to develop strength as swiftly as possible.
