Chapter 833 Anti-smuggling

Looking at Chairman Lin talking, Lister and the other two were very satisfied.

At least from the current point of view, the Lin family is very excellent, and they are the kind that are wholeheartedly following the Great Xia Empire.

It is also because they have been in the Blue Star Federation for too long. As a middle-level capital consortium, they have been desperate for the rigid promotion channels of the Federation.

So, after seeing the new opportunity, the Lin family seized it wholeheartedly.

The three of them have already experienced the Guardian-class destroyer, so it is no longer fresh.

Soon, they talked about other topics.

"Have you thought about it, Lister? Staying in our own territory will not be a problem with safety, but if you go out, there will be risks." Virut kindly reminded.

He felt that there was no need to take risks. With Lister's identity, it can be said that he can wait for promotion safely. Why stand under a dangerous wall?

But Lister rejected his good intentions and said firmly: "I have decided to join the Tianma Galaxy Security System.

Since we have chosen peaceful evolution, we must truly integrate into it.

If we can directly control the power of the Blue Star Federation, it will definitely be very helpful to the empire."

Borrowed power is not as good as direct power.

Other capital groups also have similar practices.

Although there are many forces in the federal government that suppress capital, the power of capital itself is greater.

To put it bluntly, the peak that ordinary people can never reach in their lifetime is just a starting point for capital.

Maple Leaf Mining now has certain political resources, and Lister hopes to use them actively.

Simon did not object, but he also gave his own opinion: "You can try it, but don't have too much hope, peace will not last too long."

The current situation is very good, and it seems that everything can be obtained through peaceful evolution.

But he is not optimistic, perhaps the real war will break out in the next second.

At that time, all the efforts made by Lister will be in vain.

When you can't bear the harvest, this is also one of the risks.

But Lister smiled casually: "I'm not planning to start from the bottom, I will gain something."

He naturally has a comprehensive plan and can accept the consequences of failure.

This time is considered an attempt, and even if it fails, it can accumulate experience.

The experience will be useful when the empire rules here in the future.

Seeing that Lister knew what he was doing, the two stopped persuading him.

Lister is no longer a child, and his experience is not much worse than the two of them.

…

As soon as the press conference of the Guardian-class destroyer was over, Lister started his own plan.

The entire federal government, in fact, is divided into two parts in the local armed forces.

One is the military, which controls a well-organized fleet and is responsible for important territorial defense duties such as interstellar fortresses, transportation hubs and even planetary garrison military districts.

It is to guard against both external enemies and internal defense.

The poverty of the Pegasus Galaxy is partly due to the fact that it does not border alien civilizations, so the main defense target of the military is internal.

Even if Lister wants to get into the military, it is not that simple.

So, he can only choose the security system.

The security system is another case. Although they exist in places where people are active, most of the time they are limited to places like the interior of planets, satellite cities, and space cities.

Moreover, the security system is easily affected because it has more contact with local areas. Unlike the military... they can even be said to be the running dogs of capital.

Of course, at least they will not say so on the surface, and some people even think that they are serving civilians.

Lister is targeting this part.

In the past, the security system of the Tianma Galaxy was the private land of the Tianma Group, but now that half of the territory has been lost, it is obviously unrealistic to continue to occupy the position.

Now Maple Leaf Mining has a lot of power in the security system. If Lister parachutes in, it will be easy to get a position of weight.

But he is not going to rise step by step according to the established rules.

In the final analysis, although the upper limit of the security system is not low, the invisible threshold is very high.

People who break the rules seem to be excluded, but in fact he doesn't care about that little exclusion.

So Lister didn't think about the serious way.

Even if someone sees it, what? It's just the way of keeping the enemy and respecting himself.

With the help of the system of the Great Xia Empire, he can mobilize more resources than he can imagine.

"Let's start!"

With Lister's order, a large number of airships and small racing spaceships appeared on the black market.

Yes, there are also gray industries in the interstellar era, and the scale is not small.

Smuggling within planets and galaxies is very rampant.

A large number of modified spaceships and airships are flooding the black market at any cost. For smugglers, the profit is so great that they are willing to invest huge sums of money.

And smuggling is an activity that is difficult to completely avoid, let alone the security system, even if the military joins in.

And the cost of crackdown is too high. There are only thieves who do it every day, but no one who prevents thieves every day.

Smugglers can stop selling goods for a few days, but can the ships of the army and security system maintain high-intensity patrols every day?

It is not worth the loss to dispatch a large-scale fleet, and small ships cannot outrun smuggling ships.

This is the gray area.

The overall technological level of the Great Xia Empire may not be as good as that of the Blue Star Federation, but with its unique material advantages, if the cost is not taken into account, it still has great advantages in airships and small spacecraft.

When the state machine is activated, it is a dimensionality reduction blow to the small ship modification merchants on the market.

Fortunately, Lister is not here to steal business. He did not sell goods personally, but provided standard ships and some components, and even accepted some private style parts orders.

With the precision manufacturing of large factories and more advanced technology, the smuggling ships of the Tianma Galaxy instantly rose several levels.

...

Tianma Star!

As the capital of the Tianma Galaxy, it is naturally the most prosperous place in the economy and an important tax base for the federal government.

In the past two years, due to the failure of the Tianma Group, the market has been slightly affected.

However, not only did the smuggled goods not decrease, but they increased.

But... it should definitely not be so much.

The Security Command soon felt the pressure, and the pressure from the upper levels of the government was passed down layer by layer, which was enough to make them breathless.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! What is the Anti-Smuggling Corps for? Get out if you can't do it."

As soon as the Security Commander got angry, the department responsible for anti-smuggling immediately took action.

In the smuggling business, many participants themselves are also connected to the security system.

Usually, they sell out their peers and make a living like this.

Of course, when necessary, the anti-smuggling team does not mind using informants to enrich their performance.

What? You say the officials are shameless?

Who made you a thief and others an official? You don't try to be an official. You deserve to be caught today.

So, a vigorous anti-smuggling operation began.

After receiving the "information", all members of the anti-smuggling team were dispatched, and a large number of spaceships were squatting at the graves, hoping to catch a group of unlucky people to appease the anger of the higher-ups.
