The next day, according to the original plan, we went to check the militia's armament and training status.

The militiamen are not full-time professional soldiers, but closer to the nature of local famous militias. Their salaries also come from local finances. In theory, they do not receive a penny from the earth. Therefore, the military command headquarters only has supervision for them.

and guidance power, but does not have any command or personnel power.

For Yu Lian, the special correspondent, today's plan is naturally just a formality.

What surprised him a little was that the quality of the New Seville militia was actually quite good. Although the discipline was not satisfactory, the equipment was good, and it was obvious that many of them had actually seen blood.

"This is just the so-called tough folk custom. To put it bluntly, in remote star areas, which planet is not like this? Dana and her family are even more exaggerated than me. The cowboys even have mobile fortresses and armored airships!"

Miss Lilia Alfonso, the militia commander from Waterdeep City and also the local security chief, sneered.

"These guys are far from a real army!"

Yes, Yu Lian wouldn't even bother to participate if he hadn't discovered that the person in charge of the event was Lilia.

The so-called militia system of the Blue Star Community is generally implemented in some remote star areas. In these remote star systems that are not major transportation routes, the security situation is always unsatisfactory, and there are always some interstellar lawless elements flowing here.

Due to cost and administrative power considerations, the community government does not have sufficient security maintenance capabilities in these places, so it can only open up its authority and directly transfer local law enforcement powers.

Of course, this is also a respect for the rights and interests of local citizens! There is absolutely no such thing as the conspiracy theory of street stall literature, and there is absolutely no political game between local governments and the earth!

Take New Seville as an example. This planet, inhabited by more than 20 million Earthlings, is theoretically within the administrative region of the Far Coast Sector. But in fact, its total population reaches 100,000 militiamen.

, but its command power belongs to more than ten municipal governments, large and small, on the planet.

The Ninth Fleet of the Community Navy, also known as the "Far Coast Defense Fleet" defense area, also includes it. However, although the starry sky of the Luna system belongs to the Far Coast Fleet, the law enforcement power on the planet is not

It belongs to the garrison and militia.

Well...the main force of the police force and the marines stationed here are basically on the neighboring planet Lumina, so the surface and sea of ​​New Seville belong to the militia.

"But because of this, there will occasionally be armed fights between cities over one or two very large emperor blade fish."

After all, we are in the age of space, and everyone will not start fighting over fishing grounds. However, it is another matter if you encounter the Emperor Blade Fish. This overlord living in the ocean of New Seville is over 100 meters on average.

It is more than 500 tons long. Whether it is fish bones, fish meat, fish oil, or viscera and gastrointestinal secretions, they are all of great use and can be called a treasure.

If it is an ancient individual that is more than two hundred meters tall, it has even reached the level of a fantasy beast, and it can even precipitate zero element crystals from its body.

It’s easy to understand, right? In the age of the earth, even for water sources, there have been tens of thousands of people fighting, let alone a big fish that can sell for at least nine figures?

"Yes! That's why I said that many local celebrities in remote star areas of the community are no different from warlords."

Lilia rolled her eyes at Yu Lian: "Yes, you can call me Your Highness now. How about it? Don't you regret it?"

Yu Lian sighed and showed a distressed expression: "Classmate Lilia Alfonso, you can't just return to the comfort zone of your hometown for a short time and indulge in low-level tastes. Could it be that you have simply forgotten your

Is that ideal? The planet is so involuntarily involved in the whaling industry, don’t you want to see some positive changes?”

"Okay, okay, I know Captain, you have the world in mind, how can I, a daughter of a rich man from the countryside, dare to compete with Fina and the others? I just lack consciousness!" Lilia said angrily.

"Anyway, Yu Lian, do you need soldiers now? I have the final say and can send a thousand men to you."

"I thought your warlord problem was already serious. Do the militias in other cities listen to you?"

"The last armed fight was several years ago. The main opponents in recent years have been poachers, stowaways and fugitives who came from the Far Shore Nebula. There have been more and more of them recently. There are still

There are those huge groups of bloodfin fish monsters, and these monsters have become more and more violent recently. Dad and other mayors also know that there will be no good results if we continue fighting like this, so we have already established a public security coordination

Committee. Every six months, militiamen from various cities gather together for a month of training. I am the only lunar person on this planet, and I also grew up here. I participated in several militia camps before going to college.

After training... I'm still a bit popular here." Lilia showed a sweet smile.

I feel that the problem of warlordization will become more serious!

Yu Lian looked at the girl who seemed to be the most "silly and sweet" in the student union, and suddenly felt that the sea here was more suitable for her.

Lilia added: "I did ask Dad. At the last mayor's meeting, old Mayor Charlie of Red Reef Islands did propose to build a sea light rail. From the largest Emerald Harbor in the southern hemisphere to the largest city in the northern hemisphere

, which is Waterdeep City. Once completed, more than 70% of the islands in New Seville will be directly connected by rail trains."

The economy of New Seville is indeed based on tourism and fishing. Fortunately, not every local snake is so short-sighted. Once this transportation artery, which can be called the entire planet, is built, the closure and isolation between these maritime cities will

The estrangement will become a thing of the past. At least within this ocean planet, a more powerful cycle will be formed.

From this perspective, the wise people on this planet are not particularly hopeless.

"However, we have not yet fully decided whether the light rail route will use the Alliance's design or the Minlan Republic's design. The Alliance's side is indeed more expensive, but it has more adequate technical support. Minlan

The conditions there are very favorable, but the light rails they built have had several problems."

"It's best to use the ones from Minlan. However, we have to tell those profiteers that we are responsible for the main materials ourselves and ask them not to recommend some messy middlemen. In addition, we should follow the principles we discussed before.

The plan... is to add one more condition, asking them to take the lead in introducing Koromi people’s foreign trade officers to introduce the cultivation and processing technology of algae.”

Lilia nodded: "I have already told my father. He said that he would seriously consider it and ask a scientific consultant to start research. But, Yu Lian, are you sure that highly nutritious alien algae like Luo Algae is suitable for growing in Red Reef?"

Do islands grow?”

"Always try it first! As long as everything is done in compliance with regulations, it will not cause species invasion. As long as the algae is cultivated, it can be used as a basis to cultivate higher-quality rare seafood and at the same time build a large-scale rich

nutritional feed,

In this way, nutrient-rich finished feed can be imported into the New Tennessee system not far from here, which is the hometown of Miss Dana Jefferson, greatly increasing the production of agricultural products there.

Then, the New China Area, which is being vigorously developed, will be able to obtain a stable, more convenient, and naturally cheaper food input channel. The development progress there will naturally be greatly improved.

This is Yu Lian’s layout for the entire industry chain.

He didn't know if this was fanciful, but at least the girls felt that there was a high possibility of success.

"But, first of all, there is the construction of this maritime light rail. Yu Lian, our time is limited. If we can't see the results, I won't be able to talk even to my father." Lilia bit her lip.

, showing a worried look.

"Don't worry, since I have decided to do it, I must have a bottom line. When will you see that I have a bottom line?"

Lilia glanced at the other party and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, Master Yu Lian is full of wisdom and strategizing. As long as you don't rush to the front every time and make people worry, I will believe you!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha... This is also a man's romance. Good girl, you have to respect this kind of romance!" Yu Liang laughed twice.

Lilia sighed, her eyes suddenly softened, and there was a hint of indescribable emotion.

"Where's Fina?"

"I just communicated that I had already departed from the Emerald Port and went to Riga D Star Port for interviews."

The Luna system has a large military star port, which is under the jurisdiction of the far-shore defense fleet. It is mainly responsible for the material and logistics transfer of the fleet, plus ship maintenance. Of course,

Lilia's eyes lit up, and just when she was about to say something, Yu Lian had already stood up: "Then I'll set off right now! By the way, Lilia, didn't you say you could mobilize 1,000 militiamen? Then let them just stay

Now in this state, I’m waiting to do something big. I’m waiting for my good news! Yes, good news in every sense of the word!”

Just left like this? We just sat down to have lunch! Lilia bit her lower lip, looked at Yu Lian's leaving figure helplessly, and sighed sadly.

I really owe you in my previous life! She shook her head, dialed the terminal, and started to make a call: "It's me! I thought about it and decided to send some elite manpower from each city to form a rapid response force of 1,000 people.

How about it? Yes, that’s what I think. If the light rail is built in the future, there will be an even greater need for a mobile force responsible for security around the rail!"

Almost at the same moment, behind a certain gas giant planet called "Luna C" more than two billion kilometers away from New Seville, a medium-sized armed cargo ship with a full sense of assembly was slowly passing by.

It followed its orbit and headed towards the colorful and magnificent nebula little by little.

Its hull is entirely black, and under the interplay of time and light that travels through the universe, the hull is almost invisible.

This armed merchant ship named "Ten Thousand Years Eagle" is a very famous smuggling ship on the road. The captain "Black Hawk" Hanford is also a top smuggler who has been in the galaxy for almost fifty years. He is within the empire's sphere of influence.

He also carries a bounty of tens of millions. He is considered one of the most prestigious bosses on the road.

He is a Wookiee, with long and thick limbs and an equally thick torso. At first glance, he looks like an enhanced version of a gorilla. He does have the wrist strength to break steel bars, but he is also an experienced old captain.

Now, the boss is having lunch with a guest who has just boarded the ship in the canteen on the ship. He is very polite to the guest who has just boarded the ship.

"Brother Black Moon, we have cooperated many times, but this is the first time I see you come to the transaction site in person." The captain said.

"This time is special." The other party said with a smile.

The man known as "Black Moon" is an Earth "man" of average height, average build, average appearance, and very average presence. He wears a close-fitting power soft armor. Although he is dressed like a third-rate sidekick.

, although he would definitely not be found if he were thrown into the crowd, but he was the thief who was more famous on the road than Captain Hanford - "Earl Black Moon".

The scope of activities of the thief Earl Black Moon, who is a proud prince, kills every ten steps, robs the rich and gives to the poor, is indeed mainly within the community, but his reputation has already spread to the underground world of the entire galaxy.

Even in the underground taverns in the most remote and desolate star regions, there are people happily talking about the story of this thief who made even the emperor defeated.

Captain Hanford also knew that although the other party's current ordinary appearance was impeccable and showed no trace of disguise, it was really not the other party's true face.

He has seen each other several times, and each time he looks different.

"Special?" The captain was puzzled. He didn't think there was anything special about a bunch of counterfeit medicines. No, there was nothing special about generic medicines. He had tried munitions, anesthetics, and even Zero Element and Qiming Legacy.

"Yes, the goods are special, the timing is special, and the traders are also special. It just so happens that I have been on earth for a long time, and I also want to come out and meet my old friends." Earl Black Moon smiled at Hanford: "How are you doing recently? My grandson is coming.

Are you in college?"

This smuggling boss, who is quite famous in the underworld of the galaxy, nodded: "Yes! He can actually be admitted to the Alliance Ocean University! Haha, although he may not know that there is a grandfather like me.

, but you still have to prepare the tuition fees. This child is different from me and can change his way of life."

"Then you have to launder your tuition fees. The most powerful ones in the alliance are not the Supernatural Administration and the Guerrilla Association, but the Internal Revenue Service!"

Mr. Captain's cheek, which was densely covered with hair and ferocious muscles, twitched, showing a distressed look.
