After a simple greeting, Lin Jie and the middle-aged man fell silent. They just looked at each other's holographic image coldly through the communicator.
One is domineering and calm, restrained and deep, with a strong aura of killing on the battlefield; the other is smiling with a knife hidden in his face, showing his sharp edge, showing a ruthlessness that is not usually seen at all.
Looking at each other through the communicator, an invisible pressure formed at this moment, causing others to subconsciously shut their mouths.
No one from the three parties spoke, and there was only a slight rustle as the communicator maintained the holographic image.
"Okay, you two acquaintances will still have the opportunity to meet each other in the future. There is no need to keep looking at each other like this."
In the end, it was Kainuo who broke the deadlock and spoke first, looking at Simon sideways and saying: "Uncle, let me introduce to you, this is the commander-in-chief of the ninth fleet of Carl Star Kingdom, General True Wilson.
It was this General who single-handedly sent Lin Jie to the military court, then stuffed him into the Ninth Prison and sent him to you. "
So I should thank him? Simon glanced at Tru and said nothing.
Tru, on the other hand, immediately took over the conversation and said: "Please pay attention to your wording, Mr. Kaino. Lin Jie's imprisonment has nothing to do with me. It is entirely his own fault."
As a cautious person.
Even if he knew that this communication could not be preserved, Tohru would not admit anything that was detrimental to him.
"Well, Your Majesty General, if you say he brought it upon himself, then I shall regard him as bringing it upon himself."
Kainuo spread his hands and did not dwell on this issue. Instead, he turned to Simon and Lin Jie and said, "After my uncle told me about Lin Jie this afternoon, I went through layers of screening and investigations and found someone through connections. , it took a lot of effort to contact General Tru.
I have already negotiated the price with General Tru..."
"Kaino!" Tru spoke again, interrupting Kaino.
"Okay, I made a mistake again." Kainuo pretended to slap himself in the mouth, and then said: "I have been talking to General Tru for a long time. Our Leer family is willing to donate how much money we are willing to contribute to the construction of the ninth fleet of the Karl Star Kingdom. Taiwan's Dominator-class mecha, I heard that several star systems where the Ninth Fleet is stationed have been attacked by meteor showers. The Lear family is also happy to provide humanitarian assistance, help the army rebuild the defense zone, and contribute their part to the border defense of the Karl Star Kingdom. Partial force.
My father passed away early, and this is what my uncle taught me since I was a child. He has always told me to study hard, be magnanimous, do business diligently, and revitalize Karl..."
When the hell did I ever teach you this... Listening to Kainuo's serious nonsense, Simon's lips twitched uncontrollably.
Meteor shower attack?
Humanitarian aid?
Pure fart!
After all, the Karl Star Country is an interstellar civilization. Both superpowers and technological power are very developed. How could it be possible for a meteorite rain to impact the planet?
The so-called contributions and donations are nothing more than finding a high-sounding excuse to stuff money into Tru's pocket.
"In short, I have reached an agreement with General Tru. If Lin Jie, you can really help my uncle win the flag battle, then you will be regarded as a member of our team and also win freedom... I am You can only do this outside of prison, the rest is up to you."
On the other side, Kainuo finally finished his official talk. While summarizing the process, he looked at Lin Jie.
"enough."
Lin Jie nodded slightly.
The Star Kingdom of Karl is not a giant in the universe. It is not large in size. The Dominator-class mecha is to this civilization what the fighter jets of previous generations were to the earth's army.
As soon as Kainuo made his move, he acquired multiple Dominator-level mechas, as well as various subsequent donations, which was already a huge price. It can be said that he fulfilled his promise to the letter.
"Don't be too happy too soon..."
Tru took a puff of his pipe and interjected: "Lin Jie, you are indeed a genius, but relying on that piece of junk may not necessarily win the final victory in the flag-capture battle. To put it in perspective, even if you really laugh In the end, winning your freedom does not mean that you will be stable for the rest of your life.
At most, Kainuo will help you leave the Ninth Prison and will not provide you with any shelter. When the time comes, what will you do on your own? "
Saying that, Tru took another two puffs from his pipe.
He agreed to give Lin Jie his freedom under Kainuo's inducement and threats, but he did not say that he would let Lin Jie go.
A pilot without a mecha is just an ordinary person with high physical fitness and combat literacy.
Ordinary people are just ordinary people no matter what, so why should they survive?
Thinking of this, Tru's lips curled up with a smile of victory, and he looked at Lin Jie as if he were looking at a dead person.
However, the smile soon solidified on his face.
Under his threat, Lin Jie not only showed no signs of despair, but instead smiled.
The smile was even more showy than his.
"Why are you laughing?" Tru frowned slightly.
"I'm laughing at you, Commander."
Lin Jie's smile grew brighter: "You are also the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Fleet after all. Why are you so petty and your threats so subtle? How about you let me teach you."
boom!
As he spoke, Lin Jie leaned forward, his hands floating on the table, and looked at Trudeau with a sneer: "Your Excellency, Commander, I tell you, you'd better do whatever it takes after I'm released from prison. , kill me as soon as possible by any means necessary.
Because as long as I live, I will never let you go. I will make you sleepless and uneasy, make you restless, and make you panic all day long.
In the end... he died in my hands! "
He said a few words that were very spicy, decisive, and not secretive at all. The other people were silent for a while, and Tohru's face instantly became very ugly.
"Really? I'll wait!"
With a cold snort, the image flashed, and Tohru actually exited the call directly.
For a moment, everyone became quiet.
In the image, Kainuo was gently stirring his coffee, lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking.
Simon and Curly Hair kept looking at Lin Jie, as if they were wondering about the grudge between Lin Jie and Tru.
In a daze, the lights in the room dimmed a bit under this depression.
"How long does it take to leave the Ninth Prison after winning the final victory in Capture the Flag?"
In the end, it was Lin Jie who broke the silence first and looked at Simon and Curly Hair.
"According to the rules, if someone wins the final victory, he can leave with the entire team the next day." Curly replied.
"Okay." Lin Jie nodded and looked at Kainuo again: "You can get ready. You can pick us up the day after the next capture-the-flag battle."
"Next week?" Simon and Curly were both startled. After looking at each other, Curly said: "Brother Lin, are you mistaken?"
According to the rules of the Capture the Flag Battle, you have to win seven games before you can gain freedom. At present, Lin Jie and him have only won three games together.
We are less than halfway through the long march of thousands of miles.
"No, I can win..."
Kainuo raised his head and looked at Lin Jie with burning eyes: "According to the rules, if all other mechas are eliminated and they cannot continue to compete, they can directly win the final victory. Now there are only seven mechas left. Mecha." Kainuo paused and looked at Lin Jie: "Are you so sure?"
"rest assured……"
Lin Jie took back his hands that were on the table, put his elbows on his knees, folded his hands, and flashed his eyes:
"I never make a mistake."
