More than ten starships drove out of the mobile base one after another and flew into the endless deep space.
The image of Liu Miao appeared on the command podium at Wei Dong's side. He was chewing a cigar and looking very casual, saying, "Old Wei, you don't even let go of the command room?"
"It's just a little more decoration. Unlike you, I may not have a chance to replenish it in the future."
The command room was filled with packing boxes, even stacked up to the ceiling in the corners, leaving only the necessary vision and space. This looks less like a command module and more like a warehouse.
Liu Miao said: "General Su is very determined this time and will have a decisive battle with his opponent at the beginning. What do you think, do you think we can win?"
Wei Dong solemnly said: "The Federation has the advantage. They probably never expected that we would make such a determination. Unexpectedly, the battlefield situation is likely to be balanced. But the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be to us. After all, we We can only try our best to hold back the federal fleet, and there is always a limit."
"Yes, our side is the key. I got the news that the Federation's Lunar Legion has secretly entered the star field, and the whereabouts of their two squadrons of Fleet 39 are unknown."
"The Federation's squadron is weaker than ours. The two squadrons are equivalent to about 30% of the 4th Fleet's combat strength... If they are really here, then we cannot let them appear on the battlefield under any circumstances!"
"Old Wei, the force you have is only 5% of the fleet. In other words, you may have to face 6 times or more enemies this time. If you want to complete the mission, you may have to use some means. "
Wei Dong remained calm and said, "You say it."
Liu Miao said: "To tell you the truth, Qu Ruiyi came to see me before departure and asked me to help him vent his anger."
Wei Dong snorted and said, "Is that the guy who only shows off his family background and makes connections? What good ideas can he have? He won't let you deal with me, right?"
Liu Miao smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, in the past, the fleet was stationed in the rear. Although it was safe, promotion was slow. If you wanted to be promoted, you had to find other channels. At that time, you were the least popular among the marshals. You were completely a sinecure. It's not even worth being bullied. Now, it's another story. General Su's mentality is different from that of Lu Shuai. This is a tough battle, and I can only rely on you. I think I'm quite good at fighting, but... I don’t dare to take on that mission from you.”
When Liu Miao said this, he was very serious: "If I lose the battle, I will be dismissed from my post at worst. But the problem is that if we lose here, it will affect the overall collapse. This is not my problem alone, but the entire 4th Fleet At this time, even if I have the means, I have to put it aside."
"...Okay, what did Qu Ruiyi say?"
"There is an independent army called Light Year in the N7703 galaxy. Last time Qu Ruiyi wanted to recruit supplies, but he was kicked back and was very humiliated. He wanted us to teach Light Year a lesson."
Wei Dong said: "Light Years? I have heard that they performed well in the previous battle, so it is not suitable to deal with them, right? Moreover, internal strife at this time will allow the Federation to reap the benefits. This is not okay!"
"Don't rush to conclusions yet. I think winning this war is more important than our personal reputation. You can't let thousands of soldiers turn into corpses for the sake of your own integrity and reputation, right? Qu Ruiyi This person is not important at all, and I have nothing to ask of his family. But one thing is very important, Lightyear has supplies and starships!"
Wei Dong was thoughtful.
"Old Wei, I know what you want to say. Indeed, it is possible for Lightyear to stand on our side and fight against the Federation. The question is how effective can their star-thief style of play be? How many starships are there? How much contribution can it make if it’s in your hands?”
Wei Dong's eyebrows gradually tightened.
"Old Wei, we all know that these independent legions are actually a piece of loose sand. Don't look at them. They are kings here and there. A random squadron can sweep them all away. How can the star pirates be the opponent of the regular fleet? ? What are you short of now? You’re short of starships, you’re short of supplies, you just have them all within light years."
Wei Dong let out a sigh of relief and said: "Old Liu, to be honest, that little guy Chu Jungui is quite admirable. After all, he fought to the death with the Federation, but in the end we turned around and raided his home. This is too untrue.”
"Look, you still care about your reputation! Is your reputation as important as the lives of the thousands of soldiers in your fleet? Is your mission important? Do you think this battle will be won?"
Wei Dong was unable to answer a series of questions, but he did not agree immediately.
Liu Miao said: "Old Wei, I am not targeting light years. In fact, light years are just part of our plan. You will understand if I show you this picture."
A star map appeared in front of Wei Dong, with seven independent forces marked on it, some large and some small. Wei Dong saw the problem at a glance and said: "There are 4 houses here that have been told not to move by the superiors, and the other 2 houses have already requisitioned supplies."
"Can't we recruit again after being recruited?" Liu Miao reached out and said, "We don't want our reputation anymore, and the greetings from above are not that important. We will sweep over each house one by one. After sweeping, what's in your hand?" The strength of the fleet can be more than doubled. You can’t lose a one versus two battle, can you?”
"Of course there is no problem with one to two! But the problem is, these four companies have very strong backgrounds. What should we do if we pursue them afterwards?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll go with you. As long as the battle is won, even if the higher ups want to hold you accountable afterwards, they will only come after me."
Wei Dong frowned and said: "Old Liu, I know your family is tough, but they are not bad either. Can you withstand this?"
Liu Miao laughed loudly: "Try it first, otherwise what will happen? Do I have to rely on you? Haha!"
Wei Dong gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Let's do it! If we win the battle, I will make you my friend!"
"What, if you lose, you won't be friends anymore?"
"If you lose the fight, you probably won't be able to see me again."
Federation, planet No. 2 of the Lunar V Galaxy. This is a beautiful and livable planet. The gorgeous rain and fog on the planet are unique in the entire galaxy. It is a unique scenery that cannot be copied. It has attracted the attention of countless people, so it has become the planet with the highest cost of living. one.
There are large and small lakes on the planet, all of which have clear bottoms, and the bottoms of the lakes are mostly paved with various solid-colored gravels. Next to a natural blue lake, a manor encompasses the entire lake. The main building is built on the lakeside, with excellent scenery.
Jane was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the scenery with one eye and processing work with the other. Richard was much more relaxed, lying on a recliner with an old-fashioned magazine covering his face, taking a nap.
There was an electronic device embedded on the back of Jane's hand, and a red light suddenly flashed on it. Then Jane's body trembled slightly and she hummed, as if she had been stabbed by something.
Richard took the magazine away and asked, "Why, the stock price of 1 Light Year has gone up again?"
Jane shook her left hand and said, "I thought I had good control over my emotions, but it has been rising for a month!"
"Didn't it drop a bit in the past two days... Oh, it's 11% today. But it's normal. Now everyone knows that there is going to be a war, and the entire military industry is rising. I heard that the man named Chu is purchasing food and starship equipment on a large scale , stimulated by these news, it will definitely rise."
"But he is on the side of the dynasty, and his development will also increase the dynasty's combat power!"
Richard shook his head, "Investors don't care which side they stand on. Even if the starships built are used to fight against the Federation, what does it matter? Aren't the profits still for the listed company? Jane, isn't that the way you have been in the past? Yes, why has it changed now?"
The electronic device in Jane's hand was about to light up again, and she immediately took a deep breath to calm down. This small device can monitor her anger and discharge electricity when it exceeds a certain limit to calm her down. The purpose of simplifying it is to keep yourself absolutely calm when making any decisions about Chu Jungui or Guangnian.
"Richard, is there any way to freeze assets of 1 light year?"
"Its assets are all outside the federal territory, how can they be frozen?"
"Then seize its accounts and funds and prohibit its transactions with the federation. It's best to put him on a wanted list directly..." Jane suddenly groaned and couldn't speak anymore.
Richard sighed and said: "The last time we listened to you and assassinated Chu Jungui, we caused enough trouble, and even my evaluation in the family was lowered by one level. That guy Kun is still lucky. After all, the responsibility for the biological laboratory has not been placed on him, and the Legion's losses will be subsidized by half of the Linde Group. Now the only problem left is money. As long as it can be solved with money, it is easy to handle. But I heard When the news comes out, Hathaway is extremely dissatisfied with you and is looking for an opportunity to deal with you. Don't look for trouble at this time."
"Is it that difficult to put him on the wanted list?"
"Yes. His lawyers are very difficult to deal with. Although the assassination case has been closed, they have launched more than a hundred lawsuits in the periphery. Before these issues are resolved, we have no conclusive evidence and want to send Chu Jungui to justice. It’s almost impossible to put him on the wanted list. What’s more, the Winton family is also watching. I don’t want to spend another billion to put him on the list.”
"Is there any way to ban transactions of 1 light year, even just a few items?"
Richard hesitated and said, "Kun can help with this matter. His family happens to have great power in the field of trade approval. I'll go talk to him."
Jane cheered up and said, "We must ban food, starship engines, and small master brains! They are not allowed to be purchased, resold, or shipped out of the country."
"Actually, it's useless. He can still buy it through other people. But okay, I know you just want to spread the ban." Richard began to contact Kun.
At this time, Kun was half-lying in the office that was always full of sunshine, watching the news one by one. He has been watching the securities channel for half an hour.
At this time, Richard's communication was picked up. Kun was chatting with him while browsing the news. Suddenly, the movement of his hand paused, and then he continued to scroll through the news.
"Sanction of 1 light-year? Okay, no problem, I will try my best."
After cutting off the communication with Richard, Kun pulled out the portrait of the elder in the family who was responsible for trade review, looked at it, and then sent it back to the communication book. Then he looked at the stock price of 1 Light Year, and his dignity was now worth 2.7 billion. Originally there were not so many, but he added a little more position a few days ago. As a result, the sharp rise in the past few days had an immediate impact on his dignity.
Kun turned off the securities channel and took a look at the speed car advertisements. Suddenly he felt a little tired of watching them, so he accidentally clicked on the page of Luxury Star Wheel. Kun's dignity can now support him to read this page.
At the same time, Chu Jungui, who was extremely busy, received the latest shareholder list as soon as he returned to the orbital base. After seeing it, he suddenly felt bad.
