The Hyades Cluster had too many people in it for us to ever control it through conquest. Not unless we just wiped everybody out and started over. But that was never an option for us. The Chinese thought we were weak to think like that. Charles showed them how wrong they were. We Cowboys were sent to help keep the peace in the colonies we captured. But it can be hard to do that when the locals don’t trust you. And they didn’t trust foreigners. They didn’t even trust their Chinese masters, and the trusted the Free Chinese we handed the planets over to even less. So the locals didn’t cooperate. Not until the day he took off his military uniform, pulled on a business suit, and walked out to go do business with them. That got their attention.
