Then, nearly half of these buyers on Lingze Star sold their ships on the spot to the Imperial Military Department and the Navy Command. They used the budget to purchase the ships and paid the tax coins given to them when the Imperial Taxation Department approved the budget.
These tax coins ended up in the hands of the Alliance, paying the Imperial Tax on behalf of them.
That is to say, half of the ships sold by the Alliance indeed ended up in the hands of the Central Empire. But actually, most of them changed hands from elsewhere, equivalent to being bought by the Empire. This price is often 30% to 150% higher than the Department of Taxation's pricing for each type of ship.
The money in between was jointly profited by the Alliance and intermediaries; the Central Empire essentially paid the same price to buy at most 60% of the warships.
Normally, the Central Empire would never allow such profiteering by intermediaries.
Even if it complies with regulations, it is not acceptable.
