“Yes, Your Highness,” Carlos Coleman immediately nodded and said, “However, Your Highness, if that’s the case, the logistical supply pressure on our Star Harbor will increase. After all, adding 30 million people, along with various sorts of weaponry and food consumption, is an astronomical figure. The supply ships we currently have are unable to replenish such a vast amount of goods. The base’s supplies shouldn’t run into problems within three months.”
“I’ll allocate 10 first-class transport ships to you, along with a varying number of second-class transports,” Finn Lewis said crisply.
“Then there’s no problem,” Carlos nodded.@@@@
“You saw the fleet I came with, didn’t you? I’ll leave you with 10 warships of the same class as these first-class warships. Additionally, there will be a contingent of soldiers on board who will start the handover with your men,” Finn Lewis said, gesturing towards the warships outside. On these warships, nearly 20,000 crucial positions on each are staffed by orphans adopted from another timeline on Earth.
The loyalty of these orphans to Finn Lewis, under the influence of the T3500 model, was beyond doubt. Not to mention that Finn Lewis had adopted them. He wasn’t worried about this aspect. As for the other part, synthetic robots would directly fill in the less crucial positions. Synthetic robots could completely adapt to such roles, but in order for a warship to perform at full capacity,
it’s best that all positions are manned by humans or Gene Warriors, with only some cleaning and environmental tasks left to the synthetic robots.
...
“Is this really true?” Carlos was stunned for a moment before he quickly asked excitedly, having of course seen the warships Finn Lewis arrived with.
These were not just any first-class warships. Although Carlos didn’t know the exact firepower of the warships, at least from their appearance, their power far exceeded that of any first-class warship in the Galactic Federation. It should be noted that previously the Aiken Family had only a limited number of second-class warships, much less first-class ones.
These things hadn’t caused a great impact on Finn Lewis. Instead, on his way back to the Noble Academy, Violet Davis couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, making such moves may easily turn you into a target.”
“Oh? How so?” Finn Lewis looked back at her.
“Your Highness, you’re challenging the Federation’s entire system. Think about it, Your Highness, your domain can’t develop in isolation. You’ll inevitably interact with other nobles, even the royal family. Imagine when they come to your domain for trade or other dealings. If something were to happen to them by chance, and if it had to be adjudicated under our laws, wouldn’t that be disadvantageous to them?” Violet Davis said helplessly.
“So they’ll probably be quite against doing business with you, Your Highness, or having any interactions.”
“Heh, I believe in another saying more: if there is 10% profit, capital will be everywhere it’s needed; at 20% profit, capital becomes eager; at 50%, it’s ready to take risks; for 100% profit, capital dares to trample all laws; with 300% profit, capital dares to take the greatest risks, risking even the gallows.”
Finn Lewis said placidly.
Those unwilling to do business simply aren’t being offered enough money, but does Finn Lewis lack money? He doesn’t, so this is no issue for him. Anyway, as long as he completes the tasks Zero gives him, Finn Lewis will always have funds. Zero is already giving Finn Lewis pocket money directly in star credits, although not much.
Violet Davis scratched her head, unsure of what to say. She didn’t understand the quote very well, but she grasped the implication. Just how wealthy could Finn Lewis be?
How wealthy was Finn Lewis? Violet Davis didn’t know, but by the time Finn Lewis returned to the Noble Academy, no one within the entire school was interested in his proposed reforms. To them, these matters were essentially irrelevant, even though they would occasionally discuss them over tea or meals, but it was just passing conversation.
