Chapter 276: Jiang Yu's Grand Immigration Plan (Added more for everyone's rewards!)_1

What nobody knew was that the spaceships flying from Desert North Farm to the Moon were fully booked, and although Jiang Yu had purchased a large number of spaceships before, the current maximum transport capacity from the farm to Guanghan City was only around two hundred thousand per day.

This was after all available merchant ships had been requisitioned and converted into passenger ships in advance!

To many people's surprise, Jiang Yu's rule remained relatively stable. Despite several assassination attempts and petitions against him, there were still quite a few people willing to risk their lives for him.

And indeed, those ten interstellar spaceships were built, but they had yet to set off.

With the Solar System State also beginning to be severely destabilized, Jiang Yu hurriedly announced: blockade all the territories of the Solar System State!

Many people immediately realized something was wrong and rushed to inquire, only to discover that Desert North Farm was filled with Earth citizens, while countless people from the Moon and Mars went to Guanghan City and Yinghuo City to protest!

The worst hit were the three major fleets of the Jupiter Circle; within a few days, most citizens belonging to these fleets had gone to Jupiter City to protest!

This was thanks to the popularity of short-range spaceships between the Jupiter Colony, as Jupiter Orbit had many cities and many people owned short-range spaceships similar to private cars that could shuttle between cities.

In fact, everyone knew that most were using the protest as an excuse to hopefully secure a spot to escape.

However, the governmental functions of PDC countries and the three major fleets had not fully recovered and did not stop these protesting crowds.

Moreover, they were glad to see the Solar System State in disarray and eventually having to ask for their help, at which time they would step in to clean up the mess.

Therefore, the exit of citizens from PDC and Fleet International encountered almost no obstruction.

Now, when everyone came to their senses and checked again, Jupiter City, Yinghuo City, and Guanghan City were already overcrowded.

Desert North Farm was even worse, its wheat fields were full of people, its woods were full of people, and even the recently acquired deserts had many people!

These people were building simple shacks using supplies transported from Yinghuo City and Guanghan City, all under the watch of security robots.

They might cry for their parents, beg for mercy, or throw tantrums, but a jolt of electricity awaited anyone who disobeyed.

Strangely enough, one security robot, or a resident of the Solar System State from the farms, could manage hundreds or even thousands of people!

Even with just one gun, these hundreds or thousands of people would not dare to rebel.

For the space colonies like Guanghan City, it was simpler; just have soldiers and armed robots guard a few exits, and who then could leave?

Citizens from PDC and Fleet International were completely baffled—had Jiang Yu gone mad? Why would he want to incarcerate so many people?

Politicians quickly condemned Jiang Yu for such brutal and unreasonable behavior and then began to send people to rescue their nation's citizens.

But before their military operations could begin, twenty small warships of the Solar System State appeared in the low Earth orbit and declared that if PDC attempted any rescue operations, the Solar System State would bomb the major cities of Earth!

More than a month had passed since Jiang Yu resumed his Wallfacer status, and during that time, he had made many calm preparations.

This was tantamount to a declaration of war, but PDC and Fleet International could only watch helplessly because Jiang Yu held an absolute advantage in military power!

Thus, the insults hurled at Jiang Yu grew even more unbearable, but that's all folks could do—without troops, their backs weren't strong enough, and the citizens no longer dared to protest in the territories of the Solar System State.

Then many guessed—had Jiang Yu truly gone insane? His actions seemed utterly senseless.

A few who had managed to escape from Desert North Farm by luck said that the Solar System State seemed to have been prepared for a long time; after the trapped people had built their dwellings, they had plenty of food and drink.

They were even provided with entertainment like playing cards, table billiards, and game consoles, but their freedom was restricted.

This was pure folly! To lure the citizens of various PDC countries and the three major fleets to the territories of the Solar System State, and then cater to them with good food and drink!

It wasn't until Jiang Yu announced: anyone who assaulted the Solar System State was guilty and must serve labor on Saturn and other outer planets!

Everyone then realized: This was Jiang Yu's method for enforced immigration!

At the same time, the mighty fleet that had set out from Jupiter earlier had arrived at Mars. The fleet sent to Uranus was organized hastily and represented only a small portion of Jupiter's transport capacity.

During this period, Jiang Yu had nearly seized control of over ninety percent of humanity's transport capacity through acquisitions and other means.

This impressive fleet could transport more than a million people from Mars at once!

It would also leave behind a large amount of industrial products and agricultural goods in Yinghuo City that were transported from Jupiter.

Yinghuo City would then distribute these materials to Guanghan City and Desert North Farm using short-range spacecraft, relocating some of the surplus population from there back to Yinghuo City.

The planet-scale spacecraft factory on Jupiter was also busy; on average, one large passenger spaceship was produced daily, so Jiang Yu's transport capacity was only going to increase!

Not only the administrative personnel of PDC and the three major fleets, but even Ai Qi and Tao Yue, who worked directly under Jiang Yu, didn't know what to make of Jiang Yu's maneuverings.

Eventually, Tao Yue found an appropriate adjective in his grandfather's diary to describe it: a slick operation!

At the beginning of this plan, Jiang Yu had revealed his true purpose only to his confidants; the ten interstellar ships were merely a decoy, otherwise Jiang Yu would have faced rebellion and desertion long ago.

It wasn't until after the plan had yielded results that the citizens of the Solar System State realized the so-called escape plan of Wallfacer Jiang Yu was actually a ruse to deceive a large population into pioneering new lands.

Jiang Yu's tactics were an oddity in modern politics, with many speculating why a Wallfacer would be so adamant about pioneering in the midst of the Three-body Crisis.

Thus, rumors about treasures on Saturn and alien bases emerged, enticing many residents of the Solar System State to join in the pioneering of extraterrestrial worlds because of these elusive myths!

The PDC and the three major fleets felt they had been played and were especially disdainful of Jiang Yu's rogue methods.

This time, their opinions unexpectedly aligned, as they all declared isolating the Solar System State.

Who would have thought that Jiang Yu's slick maneuvers were not yet over, as he summoned ambassadors of the three major fleets, hoping to develop Saturn and the Outer Solar System with them.

The three major fleets were infuriated: We have no people left, what is there to develop!

At the same time, Jiang Yu announced that he would provide aid to the three major fleets with a batch of agricultural and pastoral products.

Suddenly the fleets lost their temperance; Jiang Yu had bought up all the space farms in the Jupiter Circle. By isolating the Solar System State, they wouldn't even have food to eat!

In reality, the interests of the three major fleets had long been tied to the Solar System State; declaring isolation was merely a way to save face for their citizens.

Since Jiang Yu proposed joint development of the Outer Solar System, they took the opportunity to back down gracefully. Despite publicly opposing the Solar System State, they had actually signed numerous cooperative agreements with it behind the scenes.

As for their own populations, if Jiang Yu could deceive them, why couldn't they?

Consequently, the three major fleets invited Earth citizens to Jupiter to engage in a war of attrition against the Solar System State, and indeed, many volunteered!

The three major fleets hastily requested the ships previously requisitioned by the Solar System State to pick up these people. After several attempts to stall by Jiang Yu, they had no choice but to meekly purchase new passenger spacecraft from the Solar System State.

Earth was the most distressed, as everyone wanted to snatch its population.

To prevent Earth from interfering with the grand immigration strategy, Jiang Yu provided Earth with the large spaceship technologies they had long coveted.

The reason Fleet International's power was implicitly above PDC's lay in their monopoly over large spaceship manufacturing technology.

Moreover, PDC's member countries had for years already regarded their large populations as a burden, so the matter of isolating the Solar System State simply fizzled out.

In the end, it was only the public that continued to denounce Jiang Yu and the Solar System State.
