Chapter 4081 - Civil Conflict

"Alright, you have convinced me on the sovereignty matter, but what about the ultimate purpose for why I want to expand to ten thousand stars in ten years?" Rui raised an eyebrow. "Remember, the underlying motivations for all of this are not greed for power, land, or resources. It is for self-preservation. There are threats that are incoming. And we should assume that they will come sooner rather than later. The goal is to build up great military power by expanding our civilization to other stars so that we will be able to fight back harder. We can't do that if we give away the cosmos to private entities. The military will largely be under their control."
