At the cocktail party, General Hackett came to the two siblings who were whispering with a straight face. He said to Lu Yuan very discreetly, "If you don't engage in smuggling, why are you here?!"
"Come pick her up," Lu Yuan said ungratefully without letting go of Mu Xing's hand. "Otherwise, my sister would be bullied and no one would stand up to speak for her. It's a shame she has done so many things for Star Alliance!"
"Who are you listening to? Who dares to bully Mu Xing while we are here!" General Hackett's face suddenly darkened, and he interrupted Lu Yuan's words and shouted.
"Smugglers... always know some information that others don't know..." Lu Yuan was unmoved by Hackett's glaring look. He turned his head and held Mu Xing in his arms. Mu Xing, who was originally very close to General Hackett, remained silent at this moment. He just leaned on Lu Yuan and ate some snacks without raising his head.
If Lu Yuan hadn't heard the news from Cerberus, he wouldn't have rushed over in such a hurry! And he directly embarrassed the entire navy! (Lu Yuan got involved in secret military exercises as a non-soldier. Even though he was Mu Xing’s younger brother, many people were dissatisfied. And until he told Mu Xing the news, Mu Xing was still under the influence of Xing. Lian was kept in the dark, how could this make him not angry!
It can be seen from this incident that Xinglian is an unfamiliar dog!
As for General Hackett, no matter how close he was to the Mu Xing siblings, it was only a personal relationship - he was essentially an old-fashioned soldier who was infinitely loyal to the Star Alliance and humanity. This kind of person shares a characteristic with Shepard. They can devote themselves to humanity and the country without hesitation, and then they will expect others to do the same without any psychological barriers! If you are too close to him, he will share his burdens with you - Lu Yuan is really grateful for this!
You must know that if General Hackett needs Mu Xing and Lu Yuan. Making some sacrifices for the country and the nation... At most, he would find it difficult to talk about it, but he would never think there was anything wrong in his heart!
So Lu Yuan came here with the intention of completely abandoning the Star Alliance line! Don't forget that Mu Xing has provided many advanced technologies for Star Alliance and constantly improved warships. Let their appetite grow! But I don’t know that Lu Yuan has already made up his mind, I can only help you so far! Even Cerberus knows the principle of equal exchange, but Star Alliance only knows how to take - as expected, getting on a pole is not a transaction!
From now on...it would be better for brothers to settle accounts!
"Things can still be fought for..." After seeing Mu Xing clearly stating that she was unhappy, General Hackett knew that they did know the news, so he could only explain half anxiously and half embarrassed.
Talk about this. In fact, the source still lies with Lu Yuan, but he doesn't think it's his problem!
This is one of the compensations Star Alliance received after committing suicide this time. Funded by the Star Alliance Council, the Turian Empire and the Star Alliance jointly developed a new generation of stealth frigates-that is, the future Shepard's ship, the "Normandy" SR1-the first test ship of the stealth frigates.
Mu Xing volunteered to join because he was interested in the ship's new "Tantaros" engine. In fact, the core principle of "Tantaros" mass effect. A prototype test has been completed on the "Dawn" mothership by using the gravity well formed by the difference in mass to "drag" the ship forward. It was only because Mu Xing didn't want to work behind closed doors and wanted to learn from more people's ideas that it wanted to participate in the design and manufacturing project.
What I didn't expect was. Mu Xing, this super candidate, was unexpectedly rejected by the Citadel Council with a very tough attitude!
Although the apparent reason is, "To protect military secrets. Civilian scientific researchers declined to participate." But who today doesn’t know that a large number of equipment and battleships in the Star Alliance Navy were designed by Mu Xing as the chief designer! ?
Therefore, the actual reason is not difficult to guess. In fact, the root cause lies in the transaction between Zhao Min, Cerberus and the Star Alliance Navy. Mu Xing is completely lying. Turians and Asari strongly resisted Musing's joining the research team. This was more of an act of revenge for the Star Alliance's sudden acquisition of a large number of Asari and Turian warship technologies! Especially when Mu Xing's newly designed battleship incorporated core Asari technologies such as the "internal force engine", it made them go crazy with anger!
But in this matter, Star Alliance actually planned to make a fortune in silence and accept the punishment. It is shameful! Their idea is to just lose some face and get real compensation in their hands. For them, this deal is quite a bargain!
But Lu Yuan just wanted to slap them in the face! If each of you in the Star Alliance Council is added up, I don’t care if we all go to the Citadel to sell our butts! But who do you think you are if you dare to trade with the dignity of our family Mu Xing? !
So Lu Yuan also looked at Hackett with a mocking look on his face, and said so directly. "Who do you think you are?! Applying is nothing! Whether the federal frigate can be successfully developed is none of our business?! Mu Xing needs to travel next, so Star Alliance can just play with it!"
Hackett stared! Why do I feel like this gangster suddenly became disowned by his family members when he started committing gangbusters?
But Lu Yuan looked at him with a sneer, as if he was waiting for him to have an attack! General Hackett hesitated. He thought about how the two siblings depended on each other when they were young, and what they cared about most was each other. Maybe it's really a bit extreme, but he's just young and energetic. Especially on this matter, Star Alliance did not do it very authentically.
When the words came to his lips, he could only persuade him from another angle.
"Lu Yuan! As a soldier... the Military Intelligence Bureau is also a soldier! As a soldier, you must know how to take into account the overall situation! Mu Xing is also... your adoptive father is a soldier, and you are also a member of the navy! Although you are a member of the Star Alliance You have made an unparalleled contribution! But the support given to you by the Star Alliance is also unprecedented... Forget it, Xiao Musing can rest for a while, you can walk around and relax..."
Lu Yuan snorted coldly, took Mu Xing's waist without hesitation and walked out. People in the distance looked quietly towards this side, wondering what happened between the three people. But when Lu Yuan passed by General Hackett, he said softly, "The overall situation has nothing to do with us. You can keep your military title for yourself! Goodbye, General Hackett..."
Seeing Lu Yuan and Mu Xing quickly leaving the party, Hackett always had a feeling that things were out of control.
He subconsciously touched his coat pocket and found that there was something solid in the pocket. Hackett immediately took out the item. The red leather cover... was exactly the one he had given to Lu Yuan, representing the Military Intelligence Bureau's ID! But when he opened it, the chip and the filled-in content were all blank, just like a brand new blank document.
"He gave up his identity as a soldier..." The uneasiness became more and more serious! Hackett couldn't help but grabbed his adjutant and ordered, "Go quickly! See what Mu Xing is doing?! If they want to leave the space station... leave them behind for now!"
Although the adjutant was curious as to why Hackett was so... strange on such a day of celebration, he still obeyed the order and ran away!
"What's wrong?" Finding something strange here, Lieutenant General Yang politely greeted the few congressmen who were chatting, then walked over and asked quietly. After the "Tofan Encounter", Lieutenant General Yang was determined to build the newly formed Sixth Fleet into a fast fleet composed entirely of Classic-class heavy cruisers, abandoning the dreadnoughts! Therefore, today's experiment was led by him, and Lieutenant General Yang was also half the host of the reception.
"Mu Xing knew about that..." Hackett said with a frown. Lieutenant General Yang smiled disapprovingly and shook his head, "The girl is angry? She should be, a young man. If it were our Cynthia, she might have rushed to the parliament with a gun and started shooting! Haha~"
Obviously, the two generals had too many times in their lives to bend and stretch, otherwise they would not be where they are today. So they really felt that it was okay from the bottom of their hearts, and Mu Xing could understand it after all... But...
…
"General! Something big happened!" The adjutant who returned in a hurry did not bother to attract other people's attention and directly pulled General Hackett into the small living room. General Yang also followed. "Mu Xing followed her brother and just left Gagarin on a spaceship! Moreover, according to her assistant, before leaving, Mu Xing returned to her general and took all her chips and personal belongings. They were all packed up and brought onto the spaceship! Those soldiers who tried to stop them from leaving were beaten unconscious by her brother..."
"Fuxk!" General Hackett pressed his forehead angrily.
"Then... where are those authorization documents?!" Lieutenant General Yang suddenly remembered that there were some patent authorization documents that needed Mu Xing's signature. These various authorizations for the new heavy patrol were just sorted out and sent over today, and they seem to be still at Mu Xing! If these were not problems just now, I am afraid they have become a huge problem now!
"No authorization..." Hackett's adjutant smiled bitterly, "Mu Xing's message is that all 44 patents she owns, regardless of size, are used in the heavy patrol, with a total price of 4.4 billion star yuan!"
Seeing the dumbfounded looks of Hackett and Lieutenant General Yang, the adjutant had no choice but to continue, "The authorization is only valid for 5 years and ends in 2183! In addition, the design plan of the new frigate is quoted at 2 billion, and the design plan of the new dreadnought is quoted at 50 100 million... If we basically agree with the price, we can talk to her lawyer, and she will no longer negotiate with us alone..."
"Wait...when did Mu Xing get a lawyer?!" Old Man Hackett asked in disbelief.
"'Brown Flower', a law firm founded by an Asari, seems to have a background in the Asari consortium, and has never lost a lawsuit!" the adjutant introduced bitterly, "Their clients include Ilim's ex." "Your Majesty the Queen, there are many famous big companies! We have no chance of winning..."
