Mitar, seemingly oblivious to the reactions of Dusk Giant Scorpion A'erk anbeiqi and Aske Brian, continued speaking to himself, "In recent years, the situation in the Elven Plane has been constantly turbulent. The Saila Empire has been brought under the control of its military, and its desire for aggression has surged. It has brazenly attacked the Iridescent Light Empire, and to this day, it has already taken a quarter of Iridescent Light's territory, yet it is still not satisfied and is still sharpening its knives."
"The infamous Ashes Organization, a dimensional scourge, constantly stirs up trouble in various regions, using bloodshed and chaos to please their evil deities. Even our Planet Oklo has been thrown into chaos by them, and the Crimson Alliance almost disintegrated."
"Not only that, the Ashes Organization have recently set their sights on the Veyin Empire, even interfering in the Veyin Empire's struggle for the throne; they are utterly arrogant."
"But these aren't the worst of it..."
At this point, Mitar sighed, a sorrowful expression appearing on his rugged face. "What I least expected was that the kind-hearted Guta Star People had also become cunning and greedy. They not only over-issued Ta Pound but also sold off national bonds on a massive scale, causing severe turmoil in the economic situation of the entire plane."
"The large conglomerates of the Guta Federation have abandoned their previous business principles of valuing harmony and have begun to ruthlessly suppress and plunder business organizations of other countries or races."
"Every company and enterprise they deem worthy of their attention has received threats from the Guta Star People."
"And for companies that refuse to comply, the Guta Star People have many methods, and they are extremely excessive."
"They will target the company's decision-making level, create conflict, divide the top management, then unite minority shareholders to overthrow the majority shareholders, and ultimately carry out a hostile takeover."
"Or they might bribe key government officials, invest in factories to curry favor with local governments, indirectly hinder the business of some companies, or even directly seize market share using their superior products."
"The Guta Federation has superior production technology and product quality. Over the years, it has built its own brand effect and has attracted more staunch supporters. Countless consumers have been deceived by them, abandoning their own companies and enterprises to support foreigners, completely unaware that the money and resources they have given away will eventually be converted into bullets and energy beams fired at them."
"Besides targeting corporations, the Guta Federation has also set its sights on small and medium-sized countries."
"In just one year, 12 countries were plunged into hyperinflation by the Guta Star People. Then, the Guta Federation bribed some high-ranking officials in these countries to abolish their own currencies and adopt the Ta Pound."
"But the problem is, these countries only have so much foreign exchange reserves, which eventually leads to deflation and a massive devaluation of national assets. At this point, the large conglomerates of the Guta Federation step in to buy up assets at rock-bottom prices!"
"With this series of combined moves, the entire country, from top to bottom, is firmly in the hands of the Guta Star People. They haven't launched a war of blood and fire, but they have already revealed their aggressive claws in the economic sphere!"
Mitar's words were very moving, full of emotion, and his tone was dramatic and captivating, drawing everyone's attention.
In closing, Mitar concluded earnestly, "My friends, the Elven Plane shouldn't be like this. The turmoil needs to Termination, order needs to be restored, we need peace, and even more so, we need a leader capable of guiding us through this Destruction catastrophe. Think about the fate of the Iridescent Light Empire, look at the chaos in the Veyin Empire. If the wars on the Rising Sun Peninsula and Holy Knight Star aren't enough to illustrate the point, then consider the tangible benefits that Logo publicly proposed a few years ago: the currency reform plan and the strategic resource reserve plan. Please think carefully: if it weren't for Logo's strong advocacy, how much economic loss would our An Alliance have suffered in these past few years of turmoil? Wake up, folks! Only Logo can lead the An Alliance to a bright future!!"
As Mitar's deep voice fell silent, the entire arena fell silent. Pairs of astonished eyes turned to the burly Holy Stone People. They had never imagined that such a rough and uncouth man could utter such pertinent, clear-headed, pleasing, and convincing words. They had truly underestimated him before.
Brian and A'erk anbeiqi exchanged a glance, both seeing the interest in each other's eyes.
Although we had already decided on the general trend when we gathered together, and the so-called discussions were just for show and to unify our thinking, after listening to Mitar's heartfelt analysis, both Demigod felt that it made perfect sense.
Given the current turbulent situation in the Elven Plane, without a powerful leader to guide it, it could easily be led astray at any moment.
As for who the leader is, looking at Logo's record since his debut, who in the entire An Alliance can compare to him?
Let alone being just one step behind, there are probably no ones who can even come close to it.
This was achieved almost single-handedly, transforming the dying Gendaya Royal Court into the strongest kingdom-level power under the empire.
Under his leadership, the Radiant Empire, the Ashes Organization, and the Iridescent Light Empire all suffered heavy losses, and the once arrogant White Wolf Kingdom was completely wiped out. The reason why the An Alliance's economy was able to buck the trend and rise to prominence while other countries and regions were in crisis and sluggish was precisely because of a Finance Minister like Logo.
Ignoring such a huge, thick leg, and then crying and regretting it later? That will be too late!
Anyone with a brain knows what to do.
As I said before, the tide has turned.
At this point, the question was no longer whether Logo could become the leader of the An Alliance.
Rather, he had no choice but to take control of this power.
As the weather gets colder, loyal and wise ministers know to put an extra layer of clothing on their leader.
After all, only when the boss is comfortable can the subordinates enjoy endless wealth and luxury, right?
With a unified understanding, the remaining work proceeded smoothly. The small group quickly reached a consensus and joined forces to publish a joint announcement in a media outlet under the An Alliance.
The announcement did not directly mention making Logo the chairman of the An Alliance. Instead, it analyzed the current situation on the plane and planet, shared their common views, and included Logo's glorious achievements at the end.
All I can say is, those who know, know.
After issuing the joint statement, Mitar returned to his residence alone.
Mitar sat up straight in the soft wicker chair, put on a smile, and then picked up the communicator.
The projection appeared, and the face of Alex, the Left Chancellor of the Gendaya Royal Court, emerged.
"Is everything taken care of?"
"Yes, exactly as you instructed, not a single word is wrong, not a single word is omitted."
"Very good. In that case, His Majesty will likely become the supreme ruler of the An Alliance very soon."
"This is only natural. How can the Sunset Lord compare to Logo?"
"Mitar, you should watch your words. His Majesty has great respect for the Sunset Lord."
"I understand now, thank you for reminding me."
"You're too kind. From now on, we'll be eating from the same pot, supporting each other. It'll be good for you and me."
After saying this, Left Prime Minister Alex and Grand Duke Mitar of the Morning Star exchanged a glance and laughed simultaneously.
