Chapter 1199: Federated Centralization

Newly built Dwarf Planet-class Battleships and planet level warships will always remain within the New Federation.

As for why they are built but not used...

Even though they are clearly very powerful, they are not used.

This is actually a type of strategy.

For instance, if the New Federation had heavily deployed Dwarf Planet-class Battleships and planet level warships at the beginning of the war against Destiny Ring Star,

its foundation would have been depleted.

Destiny Ring Star would then know the New Federation's exact combat power limit.

It could even calculate how long the New Federation could last based on this.

The New Federation's consistent failure to deploy planet level warships on the front lines, and its rare use of even Dwarf Planet-class Battleships, was one of the main reasons Destiny Ring Star ultimately gave up attacking the New Federation.

You always have to keep a trump card.

This is a core strategy in warfare.

Moreover, this trump card must exist; if it were completely hidden, the enemy would not foolishly assume you have it.

Perhaps some people think this is playing the pig to eat the tiger, but the more realistic scenario is that the enemy directly launches an attack, causing you huge losses, and then you reveal your hidden assets, at which point the enemy stops attacking.

Compared to revealing your assets at the start to deter the enemy, this results in far fewer losses and risks.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger only applies in simple environments.

However, in wars of Civilization against Civilization, playing the pig to eat the tiger will most likely result in harming the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred yourself.

The low-probability outcome is that the enemy swarms in, strikes directly at the heart, and the 'pig' is captured before it can shed its disguise.

Concurrent with the new warship plan was a new New Federation policy.

Due to the war pressure from Destiny Ring Star, the New Federation's Stellar System contracted, leading to the New Federation becoming very crowded, with the total population of each Star City often being 2 to 3 times what it was before.

The crowded environment caused the originally comfortable and relaxed New Federation citizens, who had always lived a leisurely life, to complain bitterly.

Ella had been busy with the war, and although she had already formulated countermeasures, she did not announce them during wartime.

Facts proved this was the correct choice.

Because Ella did not conform to public opinion and release the highly competitive environment brought by the large population.

Instead, she formulated the "Federal Border Stellar System Act," which stipulated that the Federal Border would be roughly divided according to the current New Federation Stellar System, without adding any extra Stellar Systems.

Not only that.

Ella also promulgated the "New Federation Centralization Plan."

This plan designated 481 Stellar Systems as New Federation First-Tier Stellar Systems, which would receive major support from the New Federation going forward.

Within these Stellar Systems, companies would enjoy up to 30% tax exemption and subsidies of up to 150 million energy coin.

For many small companies, this was practically earning money while lying down.

Because the bulk of the subsidy was based on the number of company employees.

A subsidy of 50,000 to 100,000 energy coin per person per year, with a maximum personnel subsidy of 100 million energy coin.

Many people started small companies, attracting talent from various Stellar Systems with high salaries, forming a hot trend.

However, Ella was still quite cunning; initial promotion and recruitment were fine, but the actual terms required signing labor contracts of 50 years or more.

In other words, these companies could not just dismiss employees after receiving the money.

The maximum subsidy limit of 100 million energy coin was for 200 people, at 50,000 per person per year, disbursed over 10 years.

After receiving the 10-year subsidy, they still needed to work for another 40 years; if the company had no other income, it would inevitably continue to lose money.

And if a labor contract was terminated without valid reason, New Federation law stipulated a one-time compensation of one-third of the total salary for the remaining years of employment, plus a basic 5 years of maximum salary compensation.

Those company owners who signed without reading carefully were all distraught as if their parents had died.

In addition to the 481 First-Tier Stellar Systems, the New Federation also established 28 Special-Tier Stellar Systems.

These served as the main regional centers for the New Federation.

The rewards for the 28 Special-Tier Stellar Systems were even more generous, but they were not aimed at small companies; most policies targeted medium to large companies, as well as immigrant populations.

Immigrants could gain opportunities to enter large and medium-sized enterprises and would receive discounts on property purchases.

Not only that, but a basic commodity subsidy policy was also issued, making prices for goods purchased in Special-Tier Stellar Systems 10% to 20% cheaper than in other Stellar Systems.

It doesn't sound like much, Bu Duo.

But what if the period of implementation is 500 years?

It practically covers the entire life of an ordinary person.

The start of centralization also meant the complete end of the New Federation's era of great expansion.

Population growth began to shift to population retention.

Promoting a high-quality population!

In the past, there were many New Federation citizens, but most of them were in a 'lying flat' state.

Now, Ella wants these 'lying flat' people to stop 'lying flat' and all become part of the development!
