Su Qing's face was expressionless, and her eyes signaled him to continue,
Ye Zhiqiu continued: "All the mercenaries in the regiment usually need to go on missions to earn money to fight against the Zerg. Without income, they cannot support their families, which will make many people live in poverty. Although I am the regiment leader, I cannot force them to do something certain. We have to go, and there is only one battleship and a dozen small spaceships in the cold night. Our strength is pretty good among mercenaries, but we are a little weak against the Zerg. Moreover, after the battle starts, all kinds of resources are consumed, which is a lot of money. Leng Ye has been running the business for several years to save up a fortune, but it may not last for a year and a half."
What Ye Zhiqiu said was very practical. Why do mercenaries like to live an adventurous life? It's not because they are profitable and can make money. Who will pay for the mercenaries in Leng Ye to fight against the Zerg? What about logistical support? Even if Ye Zhiqiu is willing to take out all the interests of the group, how long can he persist?
Leng Ye has continued to expand the resources he obtained from the Star Thieves Base in the past few years, and has used most of them on various missions. Once a war begins with the Zerg, no amount of strategic materials will be enough to consume. Leng Ye's foundation is weak and he will not be able to last long. .
Su Qing said calmly: "You don't have to worry about those things. Do you think you have the ability to command a fleet?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and immediately said: "It depends on the scale. I think it's fine with just a few battleships."
Ye Zhiqiu also learned combat command when he was young. Later he led a mercenary group on missions and commanded his men in battles in a decent manner. Unfortunately, they were all land battles. He rarely encountered star thieves in the interstellar. The only time he let him Almost died from serious injuries.
What hot-blooded man wouldn't want to command a fleet and fight in the starry sky, let alone such a big thing as killing insects and saving the empire.
So Ye Zhiqiu felt that although he only had very little experience, he could learn slowly! No one is a good commander from the beginning.
Su Qing stared at him for a while, then nodded, "Then you will be the supreme commander of the fleet, and Mr. Zhu will be your logistics manager, so that you will have no worries."
Su Qing also knew that it was a bit reluctant to let Ye Zhiqiu command the entire fleet. He had no problem running a mercenary group. Commanding the fleet in combat requires first-class talent and experience, but there is no suitable person at the moment. Ye Zhiqiu is better than them anyway.
"Miss Su, what I just said, what do you think? All of us in Leng Ye add up to less than 2,000 people. This number of people can't even fill two battleships. The mercenaries are all free and unorganized. It’s a team task with a few people, and they will be very uncomfortable with large-scale combat methods, and I’m afraid they won’t obey orders on the battlefield.”
Su Qing said: "I will solve the problems you mentioned. After going through some things, your subordinates will be obedient."
Zhu Shunming had been listening to them talking. At this time, the expression on his face condensed, thinking to himself, it can't be what I thought, right?
When Ye Zhiqiu saw what Su Qing said, he could only nod. Anyway, Miss Su had the ability and would definitely be able to solve it. As for whether it would be dangerous to fight against the Zerg, with Su Qing here, what could Ye Zhiqiu have to fear?
He just needs to control his men and command the two warships. If he encounters the Zerg, he will fight. If he can't fight, he will run away! They are not an army and need to strictly enforce orders.
It's a pity that what he thought was too simple. Could Su Qing's move be just a matter of a few battleships?
During the three days that Su Qing was stationed in Lengye, she stayed in her room and did not go out. Everyone thought she was practicing, but in fact, Su Qing hid in the space to refine elixirs.
Yang Wei received a lot of orders for her, but they were all scheduled for a few years. Because she was in seclusion in a secret realm and had limited time to make alchemy, the orders piled up.
After advancing to Nascent Soul, Su Qing's alchemy level has improved a lot. As long as he spares some time, he can complete the order.
In order to build a fleet, Su Qing also planned to receive more orders. Except for the emperor and Yang Yu, others would increase their prices several times;
Can the elixir refined by the Yuanying Great Monk be of the same level as before? Of course the money will be increased. Those aristocratic families are all extremely fat, so don't be polite to them.
Ye Zhiqiu called back all the mercenaries who were not on the mission and announced that their mercenary group had been hired by Su Qing to fight against the Zerg.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the mercenaries raised doubts. You and I disagreed with every word;
Generally speaking, everyone thinks that even the powerful imperial army cannot defeat them. What's the use of thousands of them? They are too dangerous.
The most important thing is, isn’t it the Empire’s business to fight against the Zerg? What is Miss Su doing personally?
Ye Zhiqiu cannot clearly say that Su Qing is the boss behind the mercenary group. Her grandmother was killed by the Zerg. They want to help the boss avenge her hatred. Moreover, Su Qing is super powerful and very powerful. It will definitely be beneficial for them to follow her.
Since he couldn't explain it clearly, he could only induce him with benefits in the end. Ye Zhiqiu told him about the high commission, which made the opposition less.
Finally, Ye Zhiqiu said: "Miss Su is a capable person. There are some things that I can't say without her consent. I will tell you everything and follow her to fight against the Zerg. You will definitely not regret it.
Our mercenary profession is full of dangers. Every time we go on a mission, we are not risking our lives, and killing insects is no different. I am the commander of the fleet, what are you afraid of? Am I going to let you die? Go back and think about it. Those who are willing to go will set off in three days, and those who don't want to go will continue to receive tasks at the station. "
Three days later, in Leng Ye's station, there were only a few scattered people with less than 200 people willing to follow Ye Zhiqiu to kill the Zerg. They also wanted to get high commissions, and the group leader was on a mission. What were they afraid of? Everyone has a gambling mentality.
The spaceports Cold Night and Violet lift off simultaneously into space.
Ye Zhiqiu handed over the Leng Ye to his capable subordinate to drive, and he joined the Violet and was responsible for the command of the two warships. Zhu Shunming served him as the logistics manager and managed all chores.
Su Qing told what to do, and the two of them were responsible for making plans.
When the two battleships started sailing towards Tianfang Star, Ye Zhiqiu was still confused.
"Miss Su, shall we go shopping at Tianfangxing?"
Su Qing nodded and didn't explain too much.
In the past, Su Qing was still a bit fussy and willing to talk to them more. Since Zhu Xiuyun's death, her character has become colder and colder. Especially after she advanced to Nascent Soul, the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in human nature have become much less. People in the world are harmonious. There wasn't much left that could move her.
She would rarely make her intentions clear to the people around her. She asked Ye Zhiqiu to just follow her instructions, and people and resources would be able to solve it quickly.
In fact, Su Qing has a solution. In addition to her superb cultivation, she has very little social experience, and she has no idea about various ways to earn a lot of money. Although alchemy and weapon refining are professions that make a lot of money, her few resources are on the battlefield. It is not enough to stir up a little stir. Fighting requires a lot of manpower and wealth.
Su Qing does not have the background to accumulate a lot of wealth, but some people do!
Ever since he robbed the Bloody Skull Star Thief base, Su Qing has opened up new horizons. When strategic supplies are needed, robbery is the fastest way.
She doesn't mess with ordinary people or those big families. After all, the empire maintains a good social form.
Star thieves are a cancer on the empire. Countless people die tragically at the hands of star thieves every year. Star thieves also like to hijack caravans. Especially after the Zerg outbreak in medium-sized galaxies, the army's energy is focused on the battlefield, attacking stars. The intensity of the crackdown on theft has dropped a lot. Frequent cargo ships have been robbed in the waterways around Tianfangxing, a commercial planet, which makes Su Qing feel that he is sorry for those who do business honestly even if he doesn't take action.
