There is no airtight wall in the intelligence community. Early the next morning, Lucian received news that someone was collecting information on his A+ mission at a high price. The person who gave the information was very responsible and also reported the source of the entrusted task: Evelyn, the new assistant to the chairman of Lightyear.
In fact, Evelin was very careful and went through two separate steps when purchasing information. However, the firewall of the intelligence community was simply a decoration. There were many people who wanted to please Lucien, so it didn't take much to find Evelin.
Seeing this news, Lucian sneered in his heart: The big fish finally took the bait.
He had already checked out the information about Light Year clearly, and knew that Li Ruobai's starship was still only on paper. Light Year actually didn't have many star ships. He had recently sold three of them, and the rest were even more There are not many left, I can definitely count them on one hand. The only thing to worry about is the Champion Knight.
Throughout the afternoon, Lucien locked himself in his office, staring at the image of the champion knight in front of him in trance.
In the evening, there was finally new news. Lucian's intelligence source found out that the Champion Knight came from the second squadron of the Jolly Roger Corps, including the Champion Knight that later appeared at the Sino Fleet Base. The Second Squadron of the Jolly Roger is the direct force of the Hathaway faction, so Hathaway can lend their flagship and use it as his own.
The Champion Knight has now returned to the Second Squadron. But the Second Squadron will stay in place for about half a year, which means that this Champion Knight may still appear in front of Lucien when needed.
After reading the news silently, Lucien stared at the image of the Champion Knight and smiled sinisterly: "Without a Champion Knight, what kind of little princess can't bear it, right?"
He raised his hand and pressed it softly, and the star map in front of him turned into a sand table for war deduction. On one side were three frigates and a champion knight. Lucian adjusted the parameters of this fleet, and directly raised the command ability of a single ship to the full level, and then began to place starships on the other side.
As the number of placed starships increases, the results of the simulated battle also continue to change. It does not stop until Lucien's side's winning rate exceeds 90% and the Champion Knight is destroyed. At this time, Lucien's fleet size had reached three heavy cruisers and three light cruisers, and its overall combat power exceeded its opponent's by 60%.
Lucien was also an experienced veteran, and the results of the deduction were not what he expected. However, he still opened the address book and found a name: General Vincent, commander of the Cerberus Legion.
After the communication was connected, Lucien said straight to the point: "I want to destroy a group of star thieves and I need your help."
An old man with a sinister face appeared across the channel, and he said slowly: "What kind of star thief dares to offend Louis? A star thief who can't even be dealt with by you is probably not an ordinary star thief, right?"
"The opponent has a Champion Knight and a very powerful commander."
Vincent raised his eyebrows and asked: "Where is the champion knight?"
"Of the Second Jolly Roger Squadron."
Vincent smiled silently, "Those are really old friends."
Lucian said: "The person who will send this Champion Knight is also a person who will be very interesting to you."
"who is it?"
"Hathaway, you may not know her, but she is Sharif and Elani's daughter."
Vincent's face twitched, and a dangerous light slowly appeared in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Lucian, you are playing a dangerous game."
"It's not dangerous, and the rewards are great. Now you and I have a common enemy, you hate Sharif, and his daughter has given me a lot of trouble, so I think we need to join forces to teach Sharif an unforgettable lesson and make him Know the consequences of stretching your claws too far. The loss of a Champion Knight would be a very difficult problem even for Sharif."
"What reason did you use to attack the Champion Knight?"
Lucian smiled mysteriously and said, "Now they need to explain why the champion knight appears in front of us."
Next, Lucian briefly introduced what happened and the origin of the grudges. Vincent seemed a little moved and said, "What help do you need?"
"I have two heavy cruisers and two light cruisers here. You also send the same force. With the strength of this fleet, we can definitely keep the champion knight."
Vincent pondered for a moment and said: "This level of troop deployment is acceptable, but your two heavy cruisers are a bit old and cannot stop the champion knight. Well, let me mobilize two wing cavalry ships to ensure that the champion knight has No return.”
Lucian was a little surprised: "Then it's foolproof! Vincent, we have known each other for so many years, and I heard that your grandson has great potential. After this happens, I will be among the top 50 inheritance sequences of the Louis family for him. Choose a marriage.”
Vincent looked a little surprised and said, "We are just a small family, wouldn't such an arrangement be very difficult?"
Lucien said calmly: "It's a little bit, but if I can gain your friendship, I think it's worth it."
"I originally planned to retire next year. If that's the case, then I can work for another ten years. The pressure on the children will be much less."
Lucian smiled and said, "My pressure will be much less, thank you."
Vincent sent a piece of information and said: "Our hussars have been modified. These are the detailed information. You should familiarize yourself with them first. It will be very convenient for you to command."
"Thank you so much!"
After the communication was cut off, Richard walked out of the darkness and asked curiously: "Admiral Vincent has always been known for his rigidity and lack of flexibility. Why is he so easy to talk to this time?"
Lucien gave Richard a deep look and said, "Because he knows what I can give him."
"His grandson's marriage?"
"Yes, don't think this is a trivial matter. Vincent used to be an arrogant genius back then, and he was particularly particular about principles. This cannot be said to be wrong, because not being principled is the patent of big families like ours. Just like you and Kun did such stupid things, they were able to settle down safely afterwards. But if it were Vincent, he would be seriously injured if he made one mistake, and his life would be over if he made two mistakes. He knew this very well, so he He will deliberately leave a reputation of being inflexible. But now that he is old, many things should be understood clearly. He himself has suffered the disadvantage of a bad birth all his life, and naturally he does not want his descendants to repeat the same mistakes. The inheritance sequence of the top 50 members of the Louis family , enough to turn Vincent’s family into a branch family of ours. This is what he really wants.”
Richard shrugged, not understanding.
There was already a hint of dissatisfaction on Lucian's face, and he said: "Don't think that your real ability is to have smooth sailing all the time! You have always taken it for granted, such as a good life, the development of large enterprises, airborne positions, and after making mistakes The opportunity to come back is something that small families and even ordinary families need to fight for their whole life! The surname Louis gives you far more than you think, and the importance of this surname is far beyond your imagination. From birth From the moment you are at Louis’ house, your starting point is farther than the average person’s ending point.”
Richard then became serious and listened carefully.
Lucien's expression softened a little and he said, "I am telling you this because I hope you can understand that she is not wronged between you and Jane, and there is absolutely no need for you to be led by her in everything."
"But Jane is very capable."
"Vincent is also very capable. If he could have been ranked in the top 30 of a big family, he would have become a marshal long ago."
Lucian projected the image of the Winged Knight in front of him. The Winged Knight is also the new generation heavy patrol of the Federation, and there is no generation difference with the Champion Knight. Unlike the champion knight's versatility, the wing knight's focus is on mobility and firepower, which is a typical attack and defense. The modified Wing Knight is even faster, significantly faster than the Champion Knight.
Compared with the Champion Knight, the Wing Knight has very obvious shortcomings, but its cost is only 75% of that of the Champion Knight. If two winged knights faced off against a champion knight, even if there was a gap in the level of the two commanders, their chances of winning would still be quite high.
After reading the Winged Knight's information, Lucien felt confident, opened a secret communication channel, and said, "You can give the information to the other party."
An excited voice came from across the channel: "Don't worry! I will never let the other party notice anything is wrong."
Lucian was very satisfied, turned off the communication, and then said to Richard: "Get ready, come with me for this operation. It's time for you to see more of real war."
"This is not a war, it is obviously a conspiracy." Richard muttered.
Lucian snorted and said coldly: "Real commanders know how to add advantages to themselves before the war begins."
"Okay, I will go. Encircling and suppressing the champion knight is indeed a good show not to be missed."
In the evening, Chu Jungui was sitting in the office. Evelin pushed the door open and walked excitedly to Chu Jungui's desk. She put her hands on the table and waved her advantage in front of Chu Jungui. area.
"Next time, remember to knock on the door first." Chu Jungui stared at the screen without raising his head.
"I got the information you asked for!"
After receiving the information, Chu Jungui scanned all the contents in an instant, but Evelin was present. As a test subject with tactical deception, Chu Jungui's acting skills were naturally not bad. He pretended to read it for a full three minutes, but actually secretly completed a dozen small tasks in the background before putting the information down and saying, "Not bad, how much did it cost?"
"Stingy..." Evelin muttered lightly, and then said: "Because it involves the Louis family, the intelligence fee ranges from three to ten times the normal amount. They gave me the lowest price, 11 million. "
Chu Jungui's heart ached inexplicably.
The test subject knows that this is actually a very reasonable price, even lower than the normal price. There is nothing wrong with the information obtained. It is quite detailed and contains all the key information.
However, it is precisely because the content is so normal that it is abnormal. Seeing this information, Chu Jungui knew that the information he wanted to convey had been heard by the other party.
Planet Caleb was a trap prepared by Lucian for Chu Jungui. As long as Chu Jungui wanted to attack, he could only choose here. Lucien must have prepared a powerful fleet for this operation. But what he didn't expect was that Chu Jungui's target was not the base, but his fleet.
Chu Jungui put down the information, looked at Evelin who was looking for credit and reward, felt a little headache, and said: "The expenses and finance department will pay, go out."
"Ah?" Evelin didn't wait for a compliment. Instead, these words made her confused and didn't understand what went wrong.
