"The question Anne raised."

We also need to consider this in advance.

We will definitely need to expand our production capacity in the future.

However, relying entirely on internal development for improvements is still somewhat slow.

Therefore, external expansion is an inevitable choice.

However, when and how to expand is a question we need to decide! Zhao Chen said seriously.

Secretary Barbara nodded and said, "His Majesty is right."

We now possess territory in five star systems.

It also ended with a battle.

It is not advisable to expand outwards at this time.

However, we cannot be completely complacent, otherwise we will wait until our resources are truly developed to the point of bottleneck.

If resource production cannot meet the needs of our fleet expansion, then we will have to seek breakthroughs outside.

That would be too late.

I think so.

First, the first year of the future.

We focus on internal development.

Industrial upgrading, industrial development, planetary development, interstellar trade, and so on are all on the agenda.

As for external communications, we only release reconnaissance equipment to scan for the coordinates of any possible galaxies in the surrounding area.

The following year.

We still need to focus on internal development.

However, we must also accelerate our external exploration.

In this second year, we must find out how many galaxies there are within a certain range, and how many of them are valuable.

Do these star systems contain civilizations, or trial civilizations?

By the third year...

That's when we'll truly begin our external expansion.

But having reached this point, we need to consider the different situations.

Expansion can be divided into military expansion and influence expansion.

The former, of course, is to use our naval guns to bring those territories into our territory.

The latter relies on our strength and influence to persuade the indigenous civilizations of those star systems to voluntarily join our system.

Serve us!

The latter option is naturally the best choice.

If all else fails, then we'll have to rely on the former!

Although Barbara was a civil servant, her fighting spirit was in no way inferior to that of the military officers.

"Um.

Do it this way.

Our internal systems and development need to keep pace with the times.

"We no longer just rule and govern the Dragon civilization of one star system, but encompass five star systems!" Zhao Chen said, tapping his fingers on the table.

——————

The next few months.

The Xiaolong civilization used swift and decisive measures in the four star systems it took over, and none of the forces that attempted to resist by force fared well.

One of the families, relying on their influence on their planet and their considerable ground forces, wanted to bargain with the Xiaolong civilization and even split their territory into separate kingdoms.

The Xiaolong civilization rejected it outright.

And immediately dispatched a fleet of thirty starships to this star system.

The campaign was launched immediately!

The first step was for starships to conduct orbital bombardments of the strategic locations of these family factions on the planet from near-Earth orbit.

Those families' confident ground forces.

They were all wiped out within five minutes of the battle starting.

Next, combat mechs were deployed to the ground.

The deployed units were all T3 and T4 level combat mechs.

The remaining rebel forces that were still resisting were wiped out.

"Listen up, residents of this city."

We are from the JF-17 Thunder Civilization Fleet.

This planet has been taken over by us.

We are here because certain powerful families on this planet are attempting to jeopardize the interests of the Wraith Dragon civilization.

Please rest assured, we are only here to eliminate these family forces that threaten the Xiaolong civilization.

Please stay in your rooms and do not wander around.

"At most forty-eight hours, we can wipe out the remaining forces of those powerful families on this planet."

A T3 Templar-class medium-sized interstellar combat mech stands in the central square of a city, broadcasting its message to every corner of the city.

In a small alley, a group of soldiers were secretly lying in ambush.

"Aim at that guy."

"Boss, will this weapon of ours really work on that guy?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just use it when I tell you to!"

A somewhat timid soldier was pushed forward by his captain.

He had a rocket launcher slung over his shoulder.

He aimed the rocket launcher at the combat mech in the central square in the distance.

He swallowed hard, then pulled the trigger.

A rocket, trailing a plume of flame, flew toward the combat mech.

Just as this group of people were excitedly watching the high explosive they had carefully prepared about to hit the combat mech,

boom!

After an explosion.

On the surface of the combat mech's armor, there was only a small gray mark.

"This...this is impossible!" The soldiers stared in astonishment at the scene.

The combat mech turned around and spotted them.

"The remnants of the party's combat forces have been discovered."

Given that this is an urban area, we'll first deploy combat drones for clearing out the enemy!

One after another, combat drones flew into the city.

The soldiers began to flee in terror.

But how could they possibly outrun these combat drones, especially since these combat drones also have thermal imaging capabilities?

Their location can be easily pinpointed.

"Shoot these damn flies down!" One soldier couldn't hold back any longer and opened fire on the combat drones.

They attempted to shoot down the combat drones that were relentlessly pursuing them.

But they didn't even have time to fire.

The machine guns mounted on these combat drones opened fire on them first.

Bang bang bang.

Several soldiers' bodies lay in pools of blood.

"Ding, ten remnant targets detected, eight eliminated."

Mechanical sounds emanated from the drone.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" A soldier dropped his weapon, knelt on the ground, and raised his hands.

Next to him, another soldier fainted.

The drone hovering in the air slowly locked onto them.

The soldier kneeling on the ground hurriedly shouted, "I know where our unit is hiding."

There are over five hundred people there; I can take you there!

"OK.

You take us there and help us get rid of these remnants.

"Your crime can be mitigated." A voice came from inside the combat drone.

This relieved the soldier.

Regardless, at least I survived.

That's how it is.

The remnants on this planet were quickly wiped out.

And not long after.

On this planet, ten powerful families were chosen.

Following the instructions of the Xiaolong Civilization, these ten powerful families restored order to the planet, allowing life and work to return to normal in a very short time.

As for those families that disappeared.

Their entire business was divided up among these ten families, as if they had never existed.

After several such cases occurred,

Those families within those star systems are basically all blind to reason.

They all obediently followed the arrangements of the Xiaolong civilization.

From then on, the Xiaolong civilization completely controlled five star systems.

This marked the beginning of the next stage of development.

In the first three months, all four star systems returned to their previous production levels.

The most significant changes, of course, occurred in the three star systems previously ruled by the Dax Empire.

The previous system of slavery was completely overthrown.

A new system began to be established.

Some of the original management families initially felt anxious and worried.

They feared that the Wyvern civilization would wipe them out.

However, the moment the Xiaolong civilization intervened.

It involved investigating the situation of all the governing families within a galaxy.

The lists are divided into three categories.

Whitelist, blacklist, and yellowlist.

These three lists represent different meanings.

The families that govern on the blacklist represent those who used extremely brutal and heinous methods when they previously ruled this planet.

For such families of administrators, the Wraith Dragon Civilization will conduct a public trial.

Those with conclusive evidence of guilt were executed on the planet in question.

Other members of the clan were sentenced to different terms of imprisonment depending on their circumstances, and were sent to resource-rich planets to mine ore, with life imprisonment being the minimum sentence.

The families of administrators on the whitelist are the opposite, although they were previously under the jurisdiction of the Dax Empire.

However, they generally do not do anything beyond orders, and usually take good care of the native inhabitants of their planet.

The Xiaolong civilization will allow these types of ruling families to continue to exist and manage their original planets.

However, it follows the rules set by the JF-17 Thunder.

These families were also invited to attend the Governor's Office meeting.

Families on the yellow list are a special case; they have done some bad things, but not to the point of being utterly wicked.

For these types of families, the decision depends on the specific circumstances.

For example, if someone in the clan has committed heinous crimes, then that person will be put on trial.

Other members of the clan are not subject to collective punishment.

Then you have to pay a price.

For example, relinquishing some family interests can be considered a form of fine.

The families of managers on the yellow list can also be invited to attend the Galaxy Governor's Office meeting.

"Zhao Chen is really something."

They told me before that they would let me manage a planet.

"Great, they've just dumped a galaxy management position on me." Phoenix looked at the representatives of the managing families present.

He rubbed his temples.

That's right, he is now the governor of one of the five governorships under the Xiaolong civilization.

To govern a galaxy.

He is now convening a meeting of the governing families within this star system, following the rules established by the Xiaolong civilization.

Tell them the new rules.

As a former ruler of a country.

He had gotten used to the current situation.

The only difference was that the people attending the meeting were no longer of a single race; some of them were people I had never seen before.

Everyone has arrived.

The meeting began.

Fire Phoenix first promulgated the laws established by the Dragon Civilization.

"This is the law of the JF-17."

These laws are the bottom line, and no matter which planet or family it is, they cannot be violated.

Above these laws, each planet can formulate its own laws based on its specific circumstances.

However, these local laws had to be submitted to the Governor-General's Office for review before they could be implemented.

Once it is discovered that certain ruling families are acting like local tyrants, running rampant and lawless on their own planet.

"Then that will be the fate of the families of those managers on this blacklist!"

Phoenix raised his hand.

A black list appeared before everyone.

The names of several managers' families were prominently displayed on this blacklist.

Most of these managing families were once prominent and influential families under the Dax Empire system.

It was because of their excellent performance that the Dax Empire valued them.

The reason they were able to perform so well was largely due to their ruthless methods.

"Take a look for yourself."

Record this scene.

Especially those families on the yellow list.

Someone in your clan died because of this.

I imagine there must be someone in your clan who holds a grudge.

But the Xiaolong civilization is not afraid.

Who would worry about the grudge of an ant?

But if you hide your resentment for the rest of your life, you'll only end up hurting yourselves once it's discovered.

"It would be terrible if it harmed my entire clan." Phoenix's gaze swept over the families on the yellow list.

At the same time, he raised his hand and opened several video windows.

These video windows all show footage of the trials being conducted on those blacklisted families.

That was quite spectacular.

A large crowd of locals had gathered around the judge's bench.

These people are all utterly inhuman.

And when they learned that the family of the managers who had been exploiting and persecuting them for years was going to be tried.

Even if someone has a broken leg, they must get up and come to the scene.

It is said that as many as ten million people want to witness these people being tried.

Therefore, the judges from the Xiaolong civilization had no choice but to set up courtrooms all over the planet.

The members of this family, whose crimes are countless, were sent to different courts for trial, so that everyone could see the family being tried.

Actually, the trial hadn't even started yet.

These family members are already half dead.

Various stones were thrown up, along with foul-smelling excrement.

Some people even disregarded the obstruction of the Xiaolong Civilization soldiers, grabbed homemade weapons and rushed up, stabbing their former enemies.

"You beast! You beast!"

"Give me back my sister's life!" A man thrust a stone spear into the groin of the man bound to the cross.

In no time, the man's genitals were covered in blood and gore.

"You demons, give me back my son and daughter-in-law's lives!"

"They just collapsed from exhaustion while working, and you hanged them outside the construction site as a public spectacle, literally hanging them to death!" An old man with a cane limped up, carrying a stone.

Aiming at that enemy, he slapped him repeatedly.

The stone shattered.

He used his own teeth to bite off pieces of flesh from the man's body.

The situation on the scene was about to get out of control.

In the end, the soldiers of the Xiaolong civilization silently withdrew, which can be regarded as acquiescence to the actions of these people.

This enraged the persecuted indigenous people, who rushed to the trial bench like madmen.

The screams of those from the families of the administrators rose and fell!
