Chapter 719: Chapter 97 Military Operations

Library, Xu Mo realized that Zero had been behaving much more obediently lately, although it was a bit strange, Xu Mo was still very happy.

Especially since Zero had agreed to dress up for him to see, he had started to look forward to it, the very thought was thrilling, the scene too beautiful.

At the same time, Xu Mo received the first piece of good news, brought by Sal, that the Sasi Kingdom was willing to dispatch a fleet led by a warship in an operation formation, but beyond the payment promised by the Blue Star Energy Technology Group for this mission, they requested that at least three fleets must be involved before they would be willing to send troops.

This was the Sasi Kingdom’s judgement of the power of the Olay family after assessing it, wanting to ensure absolute safety for their fleet, the Olay family had operated in that chaotic star cluster for many years, sustaining a powerful armed force, and they even had their own fleet.

Though as a top star of the Star System Alliance, the Sasi Kingdom believed their fleet could easily crush that of the Olay family, they did not want any losses in this operation, with three fleets, they could ensure the success of this mission without fail.

After all, it was only Blue Star Energy Technology Group asking for help, which didn’t carry much weight in the Sasi Kingdom. Their willingness to send troops owed much to Sal, who was the future heir of the Sasi Kingdom; he needed his own power and had already started to make his moves while studying at school, to the satisfaction of the King of Sasi.

Princess Elizabeth entered the library, her visits had become quite frequent lately, to which everyone had grown accustomed.

Princess Elizabeth sat down directly opposite Xu Mo.

“Miss Elizabeth,” said Xu Mo, “any news?”

“They’re unwilling to send troops,” Elizabeth replied.

“A star system dispatching troops on behalf of a private corporation to wage war has no precedent, it’s normal they’re reluctant to send troops,” Xu Mo said.

“I heard the Ministry of Defense opposed it,” Elizabeth continued.

Xu Mo looked at her.

The Ministry of Defense?

His gaze seemed profound, and Elizabeth, perceptive as she was, said, “I’ve talked to Carter, the Ministry of Defense can access the spacecraft data from the Aerospace Union.”

“Miss Elizabeth suspects the Ministry of Defense?” Xu Mo whispered.

“Without evidence, suspicions are meaningless,” Elizabeth replied. The nature of the Ministry of Defense, as the princess of Lucas Star, she couldn’t act on mere suspicions, nor even speak of them freely–it was easy to give enemies a handle and criticize interference with the Federation’s highest military department, not a wise move, and the Royal Family’s position wasn’t absolute; there were balancing forces.

Unless substantial evidence could be obtained that pointed to the Ministry of Defense.

But even if the Ministry of Defense forwarded the information to the Olay family, likely through a special channel, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to deliver the message themselves. So, securing evidence was virtually impossible; it was only a suspicion.

“Hmm,” Xu Mo nodded, “If Lucas Star refuses, so be it, but, Princess Elizabeth can try deliberately claiming that if Lucas Star does not send troops, other star systems won’t either, hoping that Lucas Star would consider leading this operation.”

“You fear someone will pass the message to the Olay family again?” Elizabeth looked at Xu Mo, somewhat surprised.

“Elizabeth, have you considered, the Olay family dares to be so unrestrained for a reason,” Xu Mo sighed. “The upper echelons of the Olay family know that they won’t be affected much; Lucas Star wouldn’t do anything over this.”

Elizabeth’s heart stirred slightly. If the Defense Department of Lucas Star had some connection with the Olay family, then indeed, the Olay family’s information could have come from there, and certainly they knew they wouldn’t pay any price for it.

However, this likely involved high-level secrets.

Xu Mo had explored Kaba’s thoughts. As the eldest young master of the Olay family, Kaba himself was not clear who had informed the Olay family.

“Alright,” Elizabeth looked at Xu Mo. If Lucas Star was unwilling to deploy the fleet, could this military operation still proceed?

At that moment, two figures approached, Sorey and Yekaterina, who walked directly towards Xu Mo.

Xu Mo and Elizabeth looked up at them.

“The family agreed to deploy a fleet,” Yekaterina said in a low voice after sitting down.

After acquiring shares in the Blue Star Energy Technology Group and due to her romantic relationship with Sorey as well as acquaintances like Elizabeth, her position within the family had continuously risen.

Carolan Star believed that Blue Star Energy Technology Group had a certain value. If Blue Star Energy Technology could successfully develop on Austin Star, they might consider expanding there in the future.

“Odin Mountain Star agrees too, though we don’t have a large fleet,” said Sorey, this was also an opportunity for Odin Mountain Star to develop, and with a permanent directorship star involved, they would follow behind.

“No worries, that’s enough,” Xu Mo said. These forces, along with some help from the Aerospace Union, were enough to annihilate the Olay family.

Currently, only Lucas Star had refused to dispatch troops.

“Let’s start planning the operation then, our fleets will first meet at a star closest to Austin Star,” Xu Mo said.
