700: Chapter 700 Idol?

Although she wasn't clear on the specific military discipline and conduct of the Nineteenth Division, she knew Li Yang's character and leadership philosophy perfectly well.

With Li Yang's consistently rigorous self-discipline and strict military management style, he would absolutely never tolerate his subordinate officers and soldiers causing trouble at their Base, much less allow an elite division to disrupt order or violate military discipline in an entertainment Galaxy Cluster.

In fact, in Yu Lingyue's heart, Li Yang was already more than just a highly accomplished military officer and Official; he was almost an idol she silently admired in the depths of her soul.

With outstanding achievements, upright conduct, a legendary path of promotion, and a manner of dealing with others completely devoid of arrogance, such a perfect figure naturally had many followers and admirers in the Empire's military and political circles, where the culture of admiring the strong prevailed.

And since the Lese Star Cluster was a Star Domain characterized by entertainment and idol culture, the public and Officials generally worshipped figures with exceptional abilities and positive images. A near-perfect person like Li Yang naturally became a well-deserved benchmark in the hearts of countless people.

From high-ranking Galaxy Officials down to ordinary citizens and entertainment practitioners, many regarded Li Yang as their goal to strive for.

His image of punishing evil with an iron fist and fair law enforcement had already become deeply rooted in the Lese Star Cluster through the dissemination of the entertainment industry; there were even many companies that wanted to create positive-themed works based on him as a prototype.

However, they didn't dare to contact Li Yang at all. Setting aside whether they were qualified enough to reach him, even if they did, if they displeased Li Yang, wouldn't they just be asking for trouble?

Thinking of this, Yu Lingyue's originally hanging heart settled completely, and she even felt a faint sense of anticipation.

Li Yang personally leading the team here for rest and reorganization meant not only was there no need to worry about public security issues, but it was also an excellent opportunity to showcase the style of the Lese Star Cluster and connect with this rising star of the Empire.

Calming the excitement and trepidation in her heart, Yu Lingyue quickly regained the decisiveness expected of a Galaxy Cluster Speaker. She looked up at the secretary waiting for instructions beside her and ordered immediately with a firm and solemn tone.

"You will immediately go and lead the coordination with the Starport Administration, the Development Department, the Culture and Tourism Department, and the garrisoned Guard Division to handle the entire rest and reorganization support work for the Nineteenth Division. Arrange for the best berthing Star Domains, the safest rest areas, and the most complete logistical services. Ensure everything is handled thoroughly and properly.

On the day their fleet arrives, I will personally welcome them. We must make Division Commander Li Yang and all the officers and soldiers feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of our Lese Star Cluster and leave them with the best impression. Is that clear?"

"Understood, Speaker! I'll go implement it right away!"

The secretary responded respectfully, not daring to delay for a second, then turned and walked quickly out of the office to begin deploying the various reception arrangements.

Once the office regained its quiet, Yu Lingyue could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. Her fingertips lightly tapped the tabletop, and her eyes were incredibly bright.

The reason she attached such importance to this reception was not only because she could see Li Yang—this legendary figure in military and political circles and the idol she admired—with her own eyes.

More importantly, for her, this was a golden opportunity to break through her current predicament.

Lately, those new Officials transferred from elsewhere had been constantly interfering with and obstructing the Lese Star Cluster's development model, which centered on the entertainment industry. They had repeatedly made ridiculous proposals in meetings to abolish the main entertainment industry and transition to heavy industry and resource development, leaving her exhausted.

But if Li Yang, after arriving, expressed his approval of the Lese Star Cluster's development model or even gave public appreciation and praise, then all the difficult problems would be solved easily.

One must know that Li Yang was no ordinary general or Official. He had personally governed the Longlan Star Cluster, using thunderous methods to completely transform a border Galaxy Cluster—which was originally a chaotic, thoroughly corrupt, and turbulent place—into a safe, stable, economically booming, and well-ordered model Star Domain. His political achievements were obvious to all, and his governance abilities were unanimously recognized by the entire upper echelon of the Empire.

In terms of governing galaxies, developing economies, and regulating order, few in the entire Empire had more authority to speak than Li Yang.

Once Li Yang voiced his support for Lese's entertainment industry development, those difficult new Officials would no longer have any reason to interfere.

If even a governing Official like Li Yang agreed with the development path, would they still dare to think they understood Galaxy management and the way of development better than Li Yang?

When that time came, they could only shut their mouths obediently and would no longer dare to randomly interfere with her administrative decisions.

Thinking of this, the frustration in Yu Lingyue's heart vanished. The Official proposals and work reports that had previously made her sigh frequently and gave her such a headache no longer seemed like trouble in her eyes.

She simply reached out and swept all the controversial documents and annoying reports piled on the desk to the side, a relaxed and confident smile appearing on her face.

"Oh, I won't think about those annoying fellows anymore. As long as I firmly grasp this opportunity, host Li Yang well, and let everyone see the advantages and value of the Lese Star Cluster, these people will listen to me obediently in the future and never dare to raise ridiculous proposals again!"

At this moment, her heart was full of anticipation for the Nineteenth Division's arrival. Her originally suppressed and gloomy mood had also become clear and open because of the imminent arrival of Li Yang's troops.

...

The three-day voyage passed in a flash. Under the steady progress of spatial jumps, the main fleet of the Nineteenth Division led by Li Yang entered the jurisdictional Star Domain of the Lese Star Cluster on time.

As the starship slowly decelerated, the scene outside the porthole instantly became completely different.

It was no longer the cold, desolate darkness of ordinary Star Domains, nor was it a serious and regulated layout. What met the eye were planets wrapped in flowing light and vibrant colors.

The outer atmosphere was surrounded by neon light belts, interstellar orbits, and floating space stations. Even along both sides of the starship lanes, there were signal beacons and cultural tourism signs that constantly changed colors. Everything within sight was filled with a brilliant and vivid aura, forming a sharp contrast with the style of other Galaxy Clusters in the Empire.

With his hands behind his back, Li Yang stood quietly in front of the panoramic porthole of the main command cabin. Looking at this Star Domain full of vitality and the bustle of life, he couldn't help but feel a sense of genuine anticipation.

While his trip was certainly to give the officers and soldiers of the entire division a holiday for rest and reorganization, he also harbored a little private thought of his own.

Currently, he owned several private planets under his name, which were his main personal source of income. However, for a long time, these planets had only relied on the gimmick of "Original Humans" to attract tourists. The model was singular, and growth had already hit a ceiling, making it difficult to find more room for development.

The fact that the Lese Star Cluster could make the physical entertainment industry top-tier in the Empire in the era of universal Brain-AI meant it must have its own unique operational logic and development experience.

If he could take this opportunity to learn from and adapt their entertainment industry model, then combine it with the characteristics of his private planets for upgrades, he might be able to open up a brand-new situation and take the value of those planets to a higher level.

Just as Li Yang was thinking silently, steady footsteps came from behind him.

Pal walked quickly to his side, standing tall, and reported in a low voice.

"Captain, the Administrative Center Department of the Lese Star Cluster has sent a formal invitation. Their Speaker is personally leading the coordination, and they have cleared the largest combined military and civilian berthing area of the main starport in advance. There is enough space for our entire division's fleet to dock safely, and all logistical support is ready."
