Chapter 1098: Reputation Increase

In the year 235993 AD.

The Rasti Federation declared war on the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance.

This shocked tens of thousands of Star Countries, big and small, across the Star Country region.

This was the first time!

The first time anyone dared to declare war on the absolute ruler of this Star System.

And it was from an unknown small Star Country.

Although Rasti was unrivaled in one Star System.

Its combat power was ultimately only at the level of an ordinary Upper Star Country, and there were hundreds of such Upper Star Countries besides the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance.

And its largest internal company, Superstar Technology, with a market value of 400 trillion, sounds like a lot.

It had indeed entered the ranks of super companies in the entire Human Civilization.

But one must know that the leading frontier companies now have market values already in the hundreds of trillions.

400 trillion, in Human Civilization, is still in the latter few hundred.

Top 1000 Civilizations!

However, just as people in the 21st century had no idea who the companies at the bottom of the Fortune Global 500 were.

In such a vast Star System, who cared about a company hundreds of light-years away, ranked in the hundreds?

Before the Rasti Federation issued this declaration, its popularity was probably only 3%.

About 3% of the people in the entire Star Country region, or even fewer, had heard of Rasti, or heard of Superstar Technology.

However, with this declaration of war.

The popularity of the Rasti Federation instantly soared to over 40%, with nearly half of the people now hearing about this Star Country power that had only risen in the past few millennia.

This was exactly the result Yan Xia wanted to achieve.

And the object of their declaration of war this time was the Frost Blue Star Nation, one of the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance.

It belonged to one of the Five Great Star Countries of the Alliance.

Many people were puzzled.

Even if they were to declare war, given the size of the Rasti Federation, at most they could declare war on a Lower Star Country or other vassal Star Countries of the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance.

Why provoke the behemoth that was the Frost Blue Star Nation?

However, very quickly, "insiders" revealed the conflict between Rasti and the Frost Blue Star Nation, and everyone suddenly understood.

So there was this underlying factor.

That makes sense!

The two sides were already enemies; declaring war or not seemed to be the same, so why not declare war?

However, almost no one believed that the Rasti Federation could defeat the Frost Blue Star Nation.

These things were matters of distant Star Systems.

Yan Xia also did many things after declaring war.

"Sumiya, besides the Jinqi Star Nation and the Sangbi Hunting Star Nation, are there any other Star Countries that have recently applied to withdraw?"

After all, they were facing the Twenty-Eight Star States Alliance.

Declaring war was not all good.

The allies were all Medium Star Countries, and facing such a behemoth, some would naturally be timid.

Sumiya was constantly monitoring this information.

"It seems seventeen Star Countries are still hesitating."

"They are already arguing fiercely internally, and it will probably take a few more years for them to make a decision."

Out of a total of less than thirty member Star Countries, more than half had already wavered.

Yan Xia had long anticipated this result.

"In other words, we still have eight Star Countries that fully support us?"

Yan Xia was quite surprised by this point; according to his thoughts, at most one or two, or two or three, would still follow Rasti after the declaration of war.

Now, out of a total of 27 member Star Countries, 2 wanted to withdraw, 17 were hesitating, and 8 continued to follow.

Of course, Yan Xia did not believe that these Star Countries truly thought Rasti would win.

Instead, the Frost Blue Star Nation was too far away after all, and now that the Rasti Federation had risen, there were only a few Star Systems around that could pose a threat to the Rasti Federation, and the possibility of truly defeating the Rasti Federation was very low.

So why rush?

The leaders of these Star Countries were smart people and were willing to take some risks.

"Yes, although there are also voices of withdrawal within the remaining eight Star Countries, they have basically been suppressed forcefully."

In these short decades, Rasti had already extended its tentacles completely into the pockets of these member Star Countries.

Whether soft or hard, everything was clear.

Yan Xia himself also checked more comprehensive data.

He was very satisfied.

"Provide support to these Star Countries, and sell them 2000 warships at a discounted price to each Star Country, so they can directly declare war on the two withdrawing Star Countries."

Yan Xia's words revealed no emotion.

Sumiya, however, was visibly shaken, almost losing his composure.

Directly eliminate the withdrawing Star Countries!

This was indeed the method of this decisive CEO.

"Yes, I will arrange it now!"

Within half a year.

Eight Star Countries each found an opponent and declared war on the Jinqi Star Nation and the Sangbi Hunting Star Nation.

Under Rasti's restriction of all evasion-class spacecraft and warships of the two Star Countries, within just a few years, the two Star Countries successively announced their demise.

The seventeen Star Countries that were still hesitating instantly fell silent.

Withdraw?

First, see what you're made of.

In these years, Rasti itself had already defeated a double-digit number of Medium Star Countries.

The Frost Blue Star Nation was indeed powerful.

But it was still thousands of light-years away.

And Rasti, that was right at their doorstep.

It could eliminate you in a few years!

This ruthless method, while deterring the seventeen Star Countries, also saw Rasti, under Yan Xia's command, further increase its investment in evasion-class spacecraft and warship production lines in the member Star Countries.

This brought the Rasti Federation's evasion-class spacecraft production capacity to 1.05 million units per 100 years, and evasion-class warship production capacity to 46,000 units per 100 years.

And with the arrival of materials from the Bimos Star Nation, this production capacity could even double.

By 236200 AD, the Rasti Federation's total evasion-class warships could exceed 150,000, and its total warships could reach 220,000.

This was already the level of a medium-sized Upper Star Country.

Such a terrifying speed of combat power upgrade naturally also aroused the vigilance of other surrounding Star Countries.

It also made the declared party, the Frost Blue Star Nation, look a little bad.

...

Frost Blue Star Nation.

Royal Court!

Onions looked at Duke Yuan Sheng, Saisili, below.

This legendary glory of the Frost Blue Star Nation had, without his knowledge, previously acted against Rasti on the Civilization's border, demanding Rasti's submission, and then had his vassal Star Countries attack Rasti.

If all of this had succeeded, naturally nothing would have happened.

But now, he had undoubtedly failed.

The Geluoluo Star Nation now only had remnants left, equivalent to the scale of a Medium Star Country.

Rasti, however, was in its prime, rapidly ascending to become an Upper Star Country.

Now, it had even allied with other Star Countries to form a Federation and declared war on their Frost Blue Star Nation.

"Foolish!"

Onions's voice echoed in the Royal Court.

Saisili bowed his head.

"Your Majesty's lesson is right!"

"I will definitely handle this matter well."

At this moment, Saisili's heart was also filled with anger.

An ant trying to bite an elephant.

Although it was impossible to win, the reputation of the Frost Blue Star Nation itself had been diminished as a result.

An Upper Star Country that had just been promoted dared to declare war on the Frost Blue Star Nation; this would make many people who didn't understand think that the Frost Blue Star Nation must be very weak!

This latent factor was enough to cause huge losses to the Frost Blue Star Nation in the grassroots market.

And if, subsequently, the declared party remained active and did not receive the punishment it deserved.

Later, the Frost Blue Star Nation might be seen as a soft target, and more people would declare war on or provoke the Frost Blue Star Nation.

Therefore, Saisili now appeared so humble.

If he didn't resolve this matter well, everything he had might be stripped away, and his enemies would instantly devour him, chewing him to the bone.

"You know what to do."

"But someone has already complained about you to me."

Onions's hint was clear and easy to understand.

Saisili was already familiar with it.

"I will take out 1 trillion to compensate the Star Country and others for their losses."

Onions was very satisfied.

In recent years, these nobles and dignitaries had accumulated too much wealth, even making him, the King, live somewhat frugally.

The last time he saw a "rootless fire" that only cost 30 billion energy coins, he still seemed a bit hesitant.

Now that Saisili had made a mistake, how could he not make the other party bleed heavily once?

As for Rasti!

Just a small ant!

He didn't care at all.

Saisili had created the problem himself, so he should solve it himself.

Onions's thoughts had already drifted far away.

When he came back to his senses and found Saisili still in the Royal Court, he waved his hand.

"You can go back!"

Only then did Saisili leave.

After leaving the Royal Court, he quickly returned to his mansion in the capital, an estate covering 200,000 square kilometers. (Hunan Province is 210,000 square kilometers)

He flew into a rage.

Soon, he summoned the ambassadors of his vassal Star Countries in the capital.

"No matter what methods you use, I don't want to see the name Rasti again after this!"
