The performance of the Bergheide's seventh-generation model is indeed enviable, but the Flame Legion remains unmoved. This is because everyone has obtained accurate intelligence from Deputy John that it won't be long until this team becomes the first Federal force equipped with ninth-generation models. He also announced that the ninth-generation model has entered the final testing stage, headed by the highest technician of the Combat Power Tester. If there's no issue in this part, the day when the Flame Legion changes from mansion guns to cannons is just around the corner.

Compared with the seventh generation, the ninth-generation model has better mobility, stronger firepower, more stunning appearance, and adaptability. Its comprehensive performance can almost catch up with super soldiers. It's false, of course, but it's not exaggerated to say that the ninth-generation model is the super soldier among ordinary models. This is indeed the configuration of a powerful battle suit.

However, before this, John also gave a disappointing piece of news. After all, the ninth-generation model is too precious. As of now, the legion commander has only secured 2,000 pre-order quota.

Perhaps, 2,000 pre-ordered units may not seem like a big deal, but one thing must be made clear — the God's Thorn Legion, too, only managed to get 2,000 units. Aside from the Flame and God's Thorn Legions, the federal government has allocated 5,000 units to each of its five Space Fleets, and the Super Soldier Force, which is directly under the Military Department, gets at most 500 units. The smallest assault force only gets 100 units. Other formations are not left out, but their numbers are much smaller.

While it might seem like 2000 mecha suits aren't particularly impressive, especially considering that each space fleet has a quota of 5000, and the formidable God's Thorn Legion gets only about half that number. But that's not the case. This rather demonstrates how seriously the Federation values these corps. It is important not to overlook this. While there are countless legions of tens of thousands, there are only a few god's thorns, making them the cream of the crop. Maybe 20,000-30,000, or 3,000-5,000, but the Space Fleet is different. Their massive scale means tens or hundreds of millions, which necessarily include several elite units. Looking at these numbers, the configuration of the Space Fleet seems indeed too small.

Unfortunately, there is no other way. Each Legion has its own role to play. Of course, these so-called pre-arranged models do not include purchases made by major business groups. They usually buy one or two at high prices for detailed analysis, extract the technical part, imitate it, and process it. Then they sell it through other channels. If the quality of the imitated model exceeds the original prototype, the official will have to interfere. This is also an important link for businesses to survive in the market under pressure.

As for whether copying will be successful, that's another issue. Whether or not they could master the Combat Power Tester Company's technology level is one thing. The usual providers have no access to new military resources, so they could only buy from the official side at a price several times higher than the original cost. This is also one of the sources of military income.

And theft of technology is almost impossible. Firstly, they do not have the manufacturing framework. In other words, they do not know the overall parameters. Secondly, the mecha uses segregated component production. Maybe it's an inconspicuous company that makes magnetic levitation components, or some other kind of enterprise. Unless it's something like the Stephen Family that monopolizes technology and wealth, apart from special people, they would restrict personal freedom.

As to the status of the Stephen Family, the Federal Government has to judge, of course. As a democratic country, although the Federation has long abolished the death penalty, Bajin must not be spared punishment. Bajin has been sentenced to 700 years, but the trial was conducted in a non-public manner.

As for the matter of the Devils Legion, it can be said that contact with the Devils Raiders was indeed due to the needs of the Stephen Family. But Clan Leader Bajin never really ordered the Devils Legion to commit any act of murder, arson or looting. All of this, everything, were carried out under Branny's operation. Coupled with Clan Leader Bajin's old age and his positive attitude in cooperating, in the end, the Federation tacitly approved Bajin and the other 12 people involved in the incident to move freely within a certain range. And this "range" happens to be the Stephen family's latest estate.

In other words, apart from this estate, these individuals are not allowed to go anywhere else. This is the furthest the Federation was willing to go, taking into consideration the Stephen Family's agreement to share their technology, transfer their shares, and their sincere attitude in cooperating with it. Furthermore, the Stephen Family donated most of its wealth, either to the Federal Government or to the victims of the incident. But the remaining 3% is enough for the Stephen Family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

As for the ordinary members of the clan, they will lose their free status for some years. The period is set at 20 years, which, of course, will change according to the performance of the Stephen Family. This suggests that they will not be able to leave the Federation by interstellar flights within 20 years. They cannot access the rights of lower-class citizens and will even find it difficult to get a job.

But the Federation is also not heartless. After all, Feng Yi had promised Bajin that he would leave a lifeline for the Stephen Family. Therefore, Bajin can use his existing resources to start a private company, private school, or brothel and start over from scratch. Whether it takes a few years or a few decades is not the important point. As long as the Stephen Family doesn't break the rules, a comeback is just a matter of time. After all, even if they've lost everything, they still have their technological prowess at heart.

The difficulty is that being in the Federation, you have to learn to recognize yourself again, and this country, and understand the lifestyle under a democratic system. There is no bullying of the weak, no hegemony, only reasonable trading, fair competition, and the rewards according to what the Stephen Family has done.

Like the Samas Family, the Stephen Family is also a large family. However, the difference is that the Samas Family comes from Maraca Freedom Port and was actively invited by Feng Yi. Its mecha technology not only brought direct economic benefits to the Federation, but also thousands of productive workers.

But the Stephen Family only has a few thousand people, and they were absolutely opposed to the Federation before they came. Therefore, the Federation does not trust the Stephen Family, this is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for Bajin to accept.

It can be said that if it were not for the members of the clan, Bajin would never agree to Feng Yi's request in any case. At least he believes that even if Feng Yi broadcasts that message, it may not necessarily affect him. But Bajin didn't dare bet on it. He was absolutely not just betting his life and the Stephen fortune. He was also betting the lives of all clan members.

As a super empire, Bergheide's hardline approach is not as gentle as the Federation's. There, there is no reason to speak of. There, if the parliament approves, your fate will be decided. They won't even give you a chance to start over. He and his clan members could potentially be wiped out from this world following the parliament's decision.
