"What is the advantage of Light Years is the first question we need to think about." Clarkson's voice was low and powerful, but the man opposite him was too bright, making his eyes always blink subconsciously, unable to match the tone with his eyes. .
But fortunately there are still gestures.
Clarkson waved vigorously, trying to increase his momentum, but almost knocked over Evans' water glass. He had no choice but to withdraw it angrily, but not only did this fail to show his momentum, it actually became a bit funny.
Clarkson is sitting in Evans' office at the moment, reporting to the new general manager on the strategic plan he has worked so hard to come up with. It's just that Evans' office only has a total area of 20 square meters, and a wardrobe for changing underwear is crammed in. As a result, there is not much space.
There was only a small desk 2 meters long and 1 meter wide between Evans and Clarkson. If Clarkson made a bigger move, he would hit Evans' face instead of the water glass.
Fortunately, when the strategy being discussed is grand enough and the amount of business is huge enough, the occasion doesn't matter much. Cafes and fast food restaurants are not obstacles to discussing business worth hundreds of millions, not to mention that there are now independent offices, although they are a bit small.
Although the office is small, the things we discussed are important... Clarkson quickly adjusted his mentality and continued: "With a clear goal, we can continue to build capabilities around this goal and raise barriers so that competitors cannot shake us. advantages. Then we can decide which resources to invest or how to obtain these resources based on the capabilities that need to be built. In recent years, we urgently need to launch a Star Thief-specific starship that can truly shake up the market. This product will become 1 light-year unique competitive advantage. In order to launch this starship, we need to create 6 new departments, recruit 115 experts and 700 new employees..."
Evans listened patiently for ten minutes, then interrupted Clarkson and said with a smile: "What you said is all right, but now that I have become the general manager, I have only one advantage. With this, enough."
"What?" Clarkson was a little confused.
"I can fight." Evans smiled brightly.
When he walked out of the general manager's office, Clarkson turned around and gave the door of the general manager's office a middle finger in anger. Can you fight? What competitive advantages can be devised? Just find a group of people who can fight as senior executives!
Looking at the long row of deputy general manager offices next to him, Clarkson suddenly felt that his hope of being able to sit in them was not that great.
Outside the Caleb galaxy, several transport ships jumped out of the void, followed closely by several frigates. Form a formation with the transport ship and slowly sail towards the interior of the galaxy.
A few light seconds away, another fleet was moving quietly, maintaining a constant distance from the transport fleet. In the command hall of the flagship, Lucian changed back into his military uniform and stared at the star map, motionless.
Richard next to him also put on a military uniform, but with the rank of colonel.
"Without the Champion Knight, will they still come?" Richard asked.
Lucien said slowly: "It's not like they only have one Champion Knight. If they return one, they can also borrow it from other places. Even if they don't have the Champion Knight, they have to find a way to get other starships, just by themselves. Those three small boats cannot rob our transport fleet."
Richard smiled and said: "The family's annual meeting will be in half a month. If they don't come, I will humiliate Sino at the annual meeting. I think if he wants to show any shame, he will never do it in the future. Appeared in a family public setting.”
"This is another meaning of this operation. Xino is just a test. If you can't handle him, rivals within the family will pop up one after another soon."
"I understand. The next step is to wait. Patience is an essential virtue."
Lucian was quite approving: "It's a very good idea that you have."
The transport fleet is still traveling into the galaxy at normal speed. If you want to hijack it, you have to do it during this period.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, Lucian was still calm and composed, while Richard was already a little restless, and he didn't know why.
At this time, a strange signal suddenly appeared on the star map. Two unmarked starships appeared and approached the transport fleet at high speed.
"Here it comes!" Richard cheered up, but then felt a little disappointed.
In deep space, unmarked starships are most likely to be star pirates. However, judging from the detection signal, only two destroyers came, which made the Lucien fleet that assembled 4 heavy cruisers and 4 light cruisers feel like killing a chicken with a knife. One Winged Knight is more than enough to take out both destroyers.
Lucien did not relax just because his opponent was weak. He gave the order in a strict manner: "The entire fleet will advance, and the Yuhua and Feiyu will make a detour at full speed."
The huge fleet left its ambush position and moved closer to the transport fleet at high speed. A light cruiser and a winged knight quickly increased their speed to intercept the opponent's retreat and prevent the opponent from escaping by means of space jumps.
At this moment, the two destroyers seemed unaware of their situation and were still approaching the transport fleet at high speed. The transport fleet showed a panic, and the formation was in chaos. Apparently some captains wanted to escape, but they turned around and fell halfway before being suppressed by force, and had to face the attackers together.
Inquiries have already sounded on the public channel: "We are the Louis family fleet. Please identify your ship immediately and stop approaching! Otherwise we will regard it as a hostile act and reserve the right to take further action!"
In the destroyer at the front, Li Ruobai stood in front of the command podium and replied calmly: "We are the King's Banner Star Bandits from the Dynasty. We were just registered today. Congratulations, you will become the first prey of our Star Bandits. Enter the annals of history!”
If it weren't for the mission requirements, the commander of the transport fleet would have wanted to curse. Why did he register today? Only ghosts believe it.
However, his task is to hold the opponent back and wait for the ambushed main fleet to enter the battlefield. The fleet commander began to negotiate seriously: "Our fleet has sufficient escort force. It may not be easy for you to take us down with your strength. In addition, what we transport in our fleet is to replenish the planetary base's troops and transport them on the return trip." It’s all ore, I’m afraid there’s nothing you’re interested in.”
"Soldiers? I don't believe it." Li Ruobai sneered. He was also waiting for the opponent's ambush fleet to appear.
"What will it take for you to believe it?"
"It's simple, you turn off your weapons and let my men board the ship for inspection."
"I repeat, this is the Louis family's fleet. What you do is a serious provocation to the Louis family!"
"I don't care if you are Louis or Henry, if you don't let me check, no one will be able to leave today!"
The commander of the transport fleet was silent for a moment. When he saw a large green sign of his own fleet appearing on the edge of the star map, he finally sneered and said, "Okay, stop pretending! I know you are light years away. Now You can't leave even if you want to! If you are lucky enough not to be beaten to death later, I will send you to that idiot Xino and see what his expression will be like."
Li Ruobai said: "We have nothing to do with Lightyear. Again, we are star thieves registered by the dynasty. Since you must start a fight, that's fine, we will accompany you!"
The muzzles of the main guns of the two destroyers began to glow. As soon as he saw the opponent's main gun starting to charge, the commander of the transport fleet immediately ordered: "Fire!"
The three frigates had already moved forward. After receiving the order, their main guns were fired immediately, and three high-energy beams bombarded the flagship of the leader Li Ruobai.
Li Ruobai also smiled, "I'm just warming up the main gun, you fired first!"
The main guns of the two destroyers suddenly became extremely dazzling, and the charging speed more than doubled in an instant? Two thick high-energy beams comparable to light cruisers pierced the deep darkness and hit the frigate on the far left!
The frigate's shield only lasted for a few seconds under the ferocious attack before collapsing. Under the continuous bombardment of high-energy beams, the armor melted like ice and snow under the sun. By the time the ten seconds of continuous attack ended, two holes had appeared on the frigate's hull. It's a big pit, 80% of the armor in the deepest part has been destroyed, and it will be penetrated in two seconds.
In just the first round, a frigate was almost lost, which instantly scared the fleet commander into a cold sweat. The opponent's firepower was unexpectedly fierce. Fortunately, it was a frigate. If the first shot fell on the transport ship, the consequences would be disastrous.
He immediately ordered: "Retreat! All transport ships turned to retreat and moved closer to the rear fleet. The Oak immediately retreated, Baiyang 1 and 2 crossed to cover, and then retreated..."
The entire transport fleet was instantly in chaos. The huge and heavy transport ship slowly turned around and tried to escape from the battlefield. The winged knights from afar are coming at full speed, even faster than the frigates known for their high speed, and it only takes a few minutes to get into range.
However, Li Ruobai's two destroyers had already started the second round of charging, and the muzzles of the main guns began to shine with death light again.
The second attack fell on another frigate, instantly panicking it. Fortunately, this shot did not hit the transport ship.
Li Ruobai ignored the winged knights who were coming at high speed and commanded the fleet to recharge in preparation for the third salvo. At this time, the two frigates began to launch missiles. Most of the missiles were destroyed midway, but one missile still broke through the interception and hit the destroyer. The explosion shattered the destroyer's shields and left extensive damage on the hull. However, the damage was large but not deep, and it was far from penetrating the armor. There was only so much the frigate could do.
At this time, a shining high-energy light beam appeared in the deep sky in the distance. It was condensed and powerful. The Winged Knight finally arrived!
The commander of the transport fleet finally breathed a sigh of relief and roared on the public channel: "You can't run away anymore, just wait until you become space garbage! Idiots!"
Li Ruobai looked at the time and said to himself, "It's almost time to come."
Fluctuations suddenly appeared in the void in the distance, and starships jumped out of the void one after another, flying straight towards the battlefield before the space disturbance was eliminated!
"It turns out that I have something hidden! I underestimated you." Lucien sneered, but as more and more starships appeared, the smile on his face gradually solidified.
