Chapter 306 Undercurrent Rising
Plop!
Blood gushed out, and the professor of biology who had managed to survive was dripping in a pool of blood. .
Roy was stunned, and Bai Hao was also stunned. The two of them never thought that the guy who asked them to learn from him just now would be so reckless, killing Faraday with one shot.
Although Roy wished to tear Faraday into pieces, he knew very well that Faraday was an indispensable bargaining chip to negotiate with the government. If he died, his previous efforts would be in vain.
"Uncle Aros, why don't you stop him." Bai Hao stomped his feet anxiously: "Medical soldier...medical soldier..."
Aros patted him on the shoulder, turned around, walked to the tea table and sat down, with a nonchalant expression on his face.
At this time, Howson took a step back, and saw that Faraday, who was supposed to be lying on the ground waiting to die, suddenly straightened up. The bloody wound squirmed, and gray mucus flowed out. After a few breaths, the bullet was squeezed out, and then filled with blood. Hole, restored as before.
"Live... alive?" The two boys looked at each other.
"Understood this time?" Howson asked with a smile.
"I don't understand." The two were at a loss. Roy looked at his right arm, then at Faraday who had stood up, and wondered if the Faraday in front of him was possessed by specimen s-001? But think about it carefully, no, the s-001 specimen is tyrannical in nature, it is absolutely impossible to be as docile as it is now.
"Actually, I don't understand either, hahahaha." Howson grinned and pointed to Fang Liang: "But I can show you a clear way. If you want to get the answer, you have two options. First, ask Tang Fang, second Two, ask the three guys flying in the sky."
"..." The two were silent for a while.
The boss didn't dare to meet for a while, and asked those three guys in the sky? Communication barriers are the biggest problem.
...
At the same time, Quentin Island. In a side hall of the Governor's Mansion, Kunna Austin sat on a soft European-style classical sofa, still a little shocked, and her hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
Roger Fellett sat on the sofa next to her, frowning deeply, with a gloomy expression. It never occurred to him that the rebel army not only had excellent performance land combat vehicles, but also aerospace fighters. It also has a frightening invisible agent.
What should I do? What should I do... compromise with them? How is it possible that the dignified government compromised with a group of terrorists? This is simply a disgrace! One of his policies in politics is not to compromise with terrorists,
If this is really done, once the news reaches the ears of Duke Yadan, his position as governor may not be secure.
But what if there is no compromise? The ground troops can't fight, and the opponent still has hostages in their hands, so they can't use range-killing weapons. According to the current situation, it is impossible to advance. Neither is retreat.
Thinking that she guessed what the governor was thinking, the female chief put down her teacup, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Since they are threatening Professor Faraday, we can also use their relatives and friends as bargaining chips."
Governor Roger's eyes flashed brightly, and then slowly faded after a while: "During your negotiation, I have sent people to investigate the details of Tang Yun and Tang Lin. The parents of these two died early. No relatives. There is only one big brother Tang Yan who joined the army. According to your guess, if the rebel leader named Tang Fang is Tang Yan. Then we simply can't get enough chips to exchange hostages with them. Anne? They are just ordinary friends that Tang Yun met in the hospital. Novia is Tang Lin's ex-girlfriend. These two people are not important enough. Taking them hostage will not help the matter, and may intensify the conflict. You must know that the rebels do not only have Professor Faraday, like his assistant Timothy Joyce, Sachs Shield, Shelley and others, are also valued by the Thirteenth Prince."
"Since the rebels asked for zero elements and spaceships, it means that there is still room for relaxation, but once we act too aggressively, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not become angry. You have seen how powerful those agents are. If we launch a campaign against the high-level government Assassination, at that time, the rebellion will spread like a plague, and the entire Rector will be in chaos."
"Then...then what should we do?" Recalling the terrifying scene of the enemy agent piercing through the face shield of "King Kong", Kunna Austin still felt chills down her spine. Faced with agents who can be invisible, avoid infrared detection equipment, and possess superb sniper skills, unless they leave Rector and enter outer space. Otherwise, there will be fear of life wherever you go.
"Sigh." The governor sighed, "Since the enemy chief approved his subordinates to approach you, there is still room for relaxation between the 500-ton Lingsu and the 'Windtalker' class frigate, so you might as well deal with them in the bargaining process." First, to find out their bottom line, second, to hold them back and buy time for us to formulate countermeasures, and third, to find out the character of the enemy chief's confidant, the man named 'Grant'."
"As long as you are human, you have weaknesses, and if you have weaknesses, you can be countered."
"Okay." The tone on Kunna's face was a bit reluctant. She wanted to give Roger a smile, but when she thought of those ghost-faced agents, she couldn't smile.
"By the way, is the connection with Prince Walker connected?"
"It has been connected, but according to the general of His Royal Highness, the Thunder Fleet has left the Istano star system 5 days ago and is heading for the planet Muir. It cannot communicate with the outside world during the warp flight, and cannot verify the identity of the enemy chieftain."
Roger Philett got up and walked to the French windows, looked up at the dark sky in the distance, was silent for a while, and sighed heavily.
The dignified Rector government was forced into a difficult situation by a few terrorists...
...
The reason Tang Fang wants to negotiate peace with the government is to paralyze Roger and others. Tang Lin's treatment will take nearly a month. If the big battle is in Croatan during this period, he will have the strength to fight against a planet's army, but this does not mean that he can be unscrupulous.
The memory of his 6 years in the army told him that when a war is in an anxious period, it will be affected by all aspects. If the loss of the government military is too great for Roger to bear, or some extreme figures are in power, there is no guarantee that they will not use the space fleet or even use space-based plasma cannons to deal with him. The command center can be destroyed or even master the space-based defense platform, but how will the Megal Navy deal with it? How will Duke Yadan's Golden Ring Fleet deal with it? so. If you want to delay time, the political path is the kingly way.
The "Professor Faraday" transformed into a mimetic larva can make the government be wary. Once you are on the road to negotiation, let's sit down and argue. This kind of seemingly evenly matched negotiation is really no different from the bargaining of aunts in floral skirts at Caishikou. . The Rector government certainly couldn't afford the ransom of 500 tons of Lingsu and the "Windtalker" class frigate, and he left them a way out.
Isn't this guy Grant who likes to run to the mall like an old lady when he's free? Obviously have hundreds of millions of funds and still pick up discounted goods to buy. This time just gave him a chance to perform.
Kunna Grant, a woman as cunning as a fox and a passionate father who is careful in everything, maybe the next thing will be fun.
Of course, in the final analysis, the peace talks are only used to distract the government. As soon as Tang Lin's condition recovers, he will leave Rector immediately. There is the star track command center, there are mimic larvae, there is an os, and there are powerful Zerg air units, dragons and hatchers. Whether it is to flee quietly or to leave in a big way is a matter of one's inclinations, even if Rector and Bruno's naval forces converge, so what?
There are nearly a thousand battleships, and there are big guys like battleships. He really can't do it, but if he just wants to run, who can stop him? Are you capable of chasing me? The Ipsilon Jump Relay Station parked outside the final star will hold a grand welcome banquet for them.
Things went as Tang Fang thought, and the peace talks entered a stalemate. Recto's government thought that his asking price was too high, and they started arguing with Grant. At the beginning, the military tried to set up an ambush to catch Grant and in turn threaten Tang Fang and others. However, when 24 caped zealots and os chopped down the armed vehicles of two armored battalions into a pile of tatters, the military finally gave up. Don't dare to make any more ghost ideas.
...
The treatment of Tang Lin was progressing steadily, and more than 10 days passed in a blink of an eye, just as the wrangling between the Recto government and Grant was in full swing.
In the Yilan star system, in the Mingxia Palace of the Dopalan planet, a year is about 60 days, with a Chinese character face. The man with rough eyebrows and big eyes, who sat there gave off a feeling of calmness and prestige, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands behind his back, overlooking the afterglow of the setting sun on the West Mountain.
Boom, boom, boom...
A burst of dull footsteps came from outside, and then. The antique carved wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and Wei Hongde, the commander of the Southern Cross Fleet led by the Marquis of Ilan, walked slowly into the room from the outside.
"Brother, are you looking for me?"
Facing out the window, Wei Hongguang, the First Marquis of the Empire who was looking into the distance, did not turn his head, and just said "sit."
Wei Hongde walked to the sofa and sat down, pondered for a while, and asked solemnly: "Brother, is this true? He didn't die under the explosion of that scale?"
"Huh..." Wei Hongguang breathed out a foul breath: "It can't be wrong, this is the news personally conveyed by Mr. Actor a few days ago."
"Hiss..." Wei Hongde took a breath. After the Thunder Fleet arrived in the Istano star system a few days ago, Wei Dongfang, the deputy chief of staff of the Southern Cross Fleet, had a meeting with Cha Brigadier General Pullman Campbell has verified the death of Francis, the commander of the 3789th Division.
At that time, Thunder Fleet's intelligence personnel had said that the 3789th Division was completely annihilated under the impact of Nami's explosion, and even the Thunder Fleet suffered heavy losses, with nearly 400 spaceships smashed into the sea of stars.
In an aircraft carrier battle group formation, more than 40% of the more than 1,000 warships were lost. What's more, the ruins of Ypsilon, which were at hand, were also destroyed in the big explosion. This is undoubtedly an unacceptable heavy blow.
According to common sense, since the ground troops were all wiped out, the guy named Tang Yan would not be spared. But... But just a few days ago, the agent sent a piece of news that surprised the senior members of the Wei family. That kid named Tang Yan is still alive!
After receiving the news from Wei Hongguang, Wei Hongde didn't dare to neglect, and immediately took another star system controlled by Wei's family --- Sloden, on a fast shuttle, and rushed back to Elan as quickly as possible to discuss the matter. thing.
"Is that kid a nine-life cat? Even such a big explosion can't kill him..."
Wei Hongguang watched the last smear of the setting sun disappear from the sky, picked up a pa from a carved and lacquered nanmu table, turned around, walked up to Wei Hongde, and put it on the tea table: "This is the latest one I got from the Marquis of Kane yesterday. Information, you can see for yourself."
Wei Hongde nodded, picked up the pa on the coffee table and browsed page by page.
1 second, 2 seconds. 3 seconds... The expression on Wei Hongde's face changed from doubt to astonishment, then from astonishment to astonishment, and finally he stood up from the sofa with a "chuckle" and said with an incredulous expression: "This... how is this possible, substitute Didn't the author say that the kid was an ordinary soldier before? How could he become so powerful in just over a month?"
"You also said that was before..." Wei Hongguang sighed: "I should have thought of it long ago. There will never be a free lunch in the world, and the guy who can make the agent so afraid is not easy."
The picture of pa was fixed on a golden-armored warrior with two lightsabers, Wei Hongde frowned: "Brother, tell me... has this kid obtained the secret power of the Ipsi Dragon in Star Nami?"
"I'm afraid Nami star was blown up by him." Wei Hongguang patted his hands lightly, the projection equipment on the ceiling started, and at the place where the blue light flashed, the images of the arms that Tang Fang had used in a series of battles in Crotan appeared on the two of them. before.
"The information on these arms was provided by a general of the Garcia Rebel Army who surrendered to the government, named Joseph Mario. With less than a thousand troops, the boy defeated the Croatan 20th Army for thousands of miles. Even Governor Aldrich Jackson was killed in the battle."
Wei Hongde looked at the siege tanks, at the constantly changing Viking fighter planes, at the stalker who could penetrate the deck of the Skydplatney-class helicarrier with one shot, and the horror in his eyes became more and more frightening. The thicker it got, it took a long time before he let out a long breath: "The 20th Army...is he already so strong? If he had known that things would develop to this point..."
"It's too late to regret it now. There is no turning back. All we can do now is to concentrate our superior forces to wipe him out before he is fledgling. What's more, the benefits promised to us by the agent are worth doing."
Wei Hongde thought for a while, and said, "Big Brother, you mean to dispatch the Southern Cross Fleet?"
Seeing him nodding should be. Wei Hongde said: "Okay, I will go to assemble the fleet immediately."
"Wait." Wei Hongguang stopped him: "Do you know where the target is?"
"Didn't you just say that? In the Marquis of Kane's Aslam star system, our Wei family has always had a good relationship with the Rudolph family. The Marquis must be happy to accept our support."
Wei Hongguang shook his head: "Marion Duncan's armed forces left the Aslam star system more than half a month ago, and Marquis Kane's shadow fleet has regained the lost ground."
"Let's go? Then what shall we do? The Garcia Rebels have always been elusive, and they are even more slippery than loaches."
"Don't be in a hurry. Listen to me." Wei Hongguang said a word of relief, but he explained unhurriedly: "According to Joseph Mario, Tang Yan once asked Marion for help in order to return to Megall Star It will take more than half a month for the system to pick up his brother and sister. They have already arrived in Rector."
"Rector?" Wei Hongde finally understood Marquis Yilan's concerns.
The Megall star system where Rector is located belongs to the territory of Duke Yadan, and the relationship between Duke Yadan and Wei Hongguang is not very harmonious. Drive the fleet to someone's door? It's not the friendship between pee and mud, only a fool is careless.
How to persuade Duke Yadan to let the Wei Family's Southern Cross Fleet station in Rector is a big problem. Unless that guy in Marion, like Crotan in Aslam, made the government army lose all armor and armor, and be defeated, then maybe it is possible.
Otherwise, with the temper of the arrogant and conceited Duke, want to drive the fleet to his territory? It was nothing short of a dream. Yadan Ferguson is a Duke, and Wei Hongguang is just a Marquis. Even if there is no quarrel between the two, they will not allow other people's fleets to enter their territory under normal circumstances. This is a matter of dignity. Nobles are not like ordinary people, especially seniors Aristocrats, face is more important than anything else.
Of course, if it was His Majesty's will, that would be another matter. Taking a step back, if this request is made by a prince-level figure, it will also have a certain effect.
"If Garcia's rebels cooperate with that kid to cause chaos in Mejiaer, and Prince Walker comes forward to communicate, I believe Yadan Ferguson will not be ignorant of current affairs."
"Brother, are you going to unite with Prince Walker?" Wei Hongde had a smile on his face, as expected of the head of the family, this move was very clever. You must know that nearly 400 warships of the Thunder Fleet were destroyed in the Battle of Nami Star, the prince must be very heartbroken, and if he knows that it was that kid who did it, he will definitely not let it go. Yadan Ferguson may not give the Wei family face, but he must not ignore the prince's request.
"We will not only unite with Prince Walker, but also the Marquis of Kane, the George family that Francis belongs to, the Zhou family of the Zirog star system, and the Marquis of Dellamond who hates Marion Duncan to the bone. It is the will of Prince Walker , coupled with the high-level nobles and great lords who are filled with righteous indignation, Yadan Ferguson will inevitably choose to compromise even if he has ten thousand unwillingness in his heart."
"Brother, this is a good idea..." Wei Hongde's face burst into a smile. This move of borrowing a knife to kill people not only solved the grievances between the Ferguson family and the Wei family, but also assembled a massive fleet. Facing such a heavy pressure, that kid Even if monkey grandchildren generally have three heads and six arms and change in seventy-two ways, they can't fly out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha.
