Chapter 716: Chapter 95 Round Table Conference_3

“Ladies and gentlemen, this isn’t a simple case of interstellar robbery; it’s a hunt targeting Blue Star Energy Technology Group. Now, there’s adverse media coverage about us on Lucas Star, and the loss this time is heavy as well. We’re facing a colossal crisis,” Xu Mo said seriously. “This is the first time we can withstand it, but if such targeted actions occur a second or third time, Blue Star Energy Technology Group will probably be finished.”

Hearing Xu Mo’s words, everyone realized the severity of the situation. If it was a targeted act, then it indeed could happen a second or third time, completely destroying Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

“Brother Xu Mo, what should we do then?” Sorey asked.

“Launch military action,” Sal said. Other than this, there was no other solution; they could only initiate military action.

Elizabeth and the others naturally understood as well.

However, the decision to take military action was not one they could make.

“Right,” Xu Mo said. “Sal, is it likely for the Sasi Kingdom to send troops?”

“It’s difficult,” Sal replied. “The Sasi Kingdom has no precedence for deploying troops on behalf of a company.”

Not just the Sasi Kingdom, but other stars felt the same way. This was exactly why Kaba was so confident and unafraid.

To launch a military action for a company?

Never mind whether the company was worth it, the cost was also an issue. Military action is exorbitantly expensive–it burns money.

“Is the Olay family powerful?” Yekaterina asked.

“The local Emperor of Austin Star owns his own fleet and is regarded as Austin Star’s top-tier force,” Xu Mo replied.

“Austin Star was once the Kingdom of Austin, glorious in its time. Now, it is a land of chaos, very disorderly,” Elizabeth said. She knew that Lucas Star had considered taking down Austin Star.

But to take control would mean managing it, and the chaos on Austin Star made it clear that sustained occupation was unsustainable–they simply could not manage it.

If it was just for looting, that would be without just cause and would breach the covenant of the Star System Alliance.

The establishment of the Star System Alliance was for the sake of peace. As one of the Star System Alliance’s most important stars, how could Lucas Star loot others without just cause? They would face tremendous pressure.

“What about making the video public, assembling an Alliance Army; is there a chance for that?” Xu Mo asked the group. “Of course, Blue Star Energy Technology Group itself would also deploy its armed forces. Moreover, the cost of this military operation would be borne by Blue Star Energy Technology Group. However, it might be in the form of a debt, to be repaid gradually, or offset with products.”

Military actions are costly, and the expense would be a huge figure. In the Olay family’s expectations, for Lucas Star to cross stars to initiate a military action on behalf of a company against them was simply impossible.

The Olay family had never even considered the possibility of an Alliance Army.

“If Blue Star Energy Technology Group were to bear the cost of the military action, there is some possibility,” Sal said.

“I need to consult with my family,” said Yekaterina as well.

“Have you thought about the cost issue?” Elizabeth looked at Xu Mo. “Lucas Star, Sasi Kingdom, Carolan Star, plus Odin Mountain Star, and our own group, all launching military actions at the same time–are you sure that Blue Star Energy Technology Group can afford such high costs?”

“Elizabeth, this is a matter of survival for Blue Star Energy Technology Group. Without action, Blue Star Energy Technology Group is already in danger. Even with high costs, we must fight,” Xu Mo said. “Of course, the military operation would be managed by Blue Star Energy Technology Group, and any spoils of war would belong to Blue Star Energy Technology Group.”

Elizabeth looked at Xu Mo.

So, the cost comes out of this?

This guy…

“If we destroy the Olay family, I plan to build a base on Austin Star to serve as an intermediary,” Xu Mo continued. “If operations go well, we might recoup the cost of the war.”

Austin Star was a chaotic planet, and no one wanted to go there, but as a company, Blue Star Energy Technology Group could develop there. With one military campaign there, who would dare to mess with them on Austin Star in the future?

Moreover, for a place like Austin Star, Blue Star Energy Technology Group had a natural advantage as a messy planet–they could sell weapons and equipment!

Alice listened in the background, her heart stirred by the conversation. Were all these people princes and princesses from major stars?

A company was discussing launching a joint military operation!

Her eyes fell on Xu Mo. From this perspective, following Xu Mo seemed like the better option?

She moved closer to Xu Mo’s side.

At that moment, a figure approached from a distance.

Zero immediately noticed Alice by Xu Mo’s side.

She’s wearing so little!
