Chapter 447
He doesn't think that there will be any accidents in this mission, because the eyes of all the forces in the Skynest star area are attracted by the fleet escorted by nearly a thousand warships. Team? Moreover, the "Crammond Group" has been in peace with the pirate organizations in "Babylon" for so many years, not to mention that the fleet chose a high-safety route this time.
The autopilot system of the cargo ship was running in an orderly manner. Tao Te Kidd folded his arms around his chest, sat on the driver's seat with his head up and closed his eyes to rest his mind, so that he ignored the subtle movements coming from behind him.
One thing he didn't know was that besides him, the co-pilot, and several other assistants, there was an uninvited guest hidden in the shadows in the cargo ship's cab.
Wright Peters was very alert, and his subordinates were very strict with their mouths. Those who knew that the transport plane was transferred to the cargo ship of the "Crammond Group" transport team were even more loyal and would never leak the news.
It's just that he missed one thing, or in any case he couldn't figure out one thing. The Protoss transport plane is Tang Fang's summoning object. Every movement, every loading and unloading of it will naturally escape the eyes of the master, and It was really easy for him to join the "Crammond Group" transport fleet.
In the process of leaving the "Lost Land", he once conducted an experiment. Once he was too far away from the summoned objects of the interstellar system, he would lose contact with them. Therefore, in order to complete the new layout, he must. Keep the Protoss Transporter within your field of vision.
As for "Babylon", at the beginning of the operation, he had already left an Euglena in the Morningstar, and issued a circular command, and the counterfeit "Tang Fang" transformed from the mimic chick would return to the Morningstar before dying , and then replaced by the new counterfeit "Tang Fang". Continue to entangle with those people in the tax office to create an alibi for yourself.
Although whether it is an immortal or a Protoss shuttle, he can take back the system space with a single thought, allowing these people to draw water from the bamboo basket in vain, and spend hundreds of billions of star coins in vain. But he won't do that. Since he decided to have fun with these forces, it would be too immoral to be anticlimactic.
…………
The light emitted by the indicator light hurts the eyes, the alarm system screams rapidly, the curvature data on the display of the navigation system fluctuates rapidly, and a slight vibration is transmitted from under the feet, as if the entire cargo ship is experiencing a storm.
Tao Te Kidd woke up from his sleep. When he learned the current state of the spaceship from the drastic changes in the flight data, his face instantly turned extremely pale.
An unknown enemy is intercepting the cargo ship!
how come? how come! This is the high safety channel. The pirates are not afraid of being caught by the military fleet?
besides,
The transportation team obviously did enough homework before departure and sailed strictly according to the pioneer pathfinding mechanism. If there are pirates blocking the way ahead, the scout ship for early warning should send a warning signal, but what is going on now? It was caught directly by the enemy's warp speed interception equipment.
He thought of a possibility that there were enemy spies in the transport team!
Judging from the scene in front of us, I am afraid that the enemy has already known that there is a transport plane hidden in the cargo ship. Who is it? Who in the end leaked the secret?
Tao Te Kidd touched the gun on his waist, and forcefully tore off the top button of his shirt. Turning around, staring coldly at the other people in the cab: "Who? Who is it?"
No one spoke, not because they didn’t dare, but because they didn’t know how to answer. They could swear like Jesus that they had never done anything to betray their motherland.
A rapid beep came from the damage control management system. Most of the electronic equipment of the cargo ship was subjected to energy impact, and then overloaded and went offline. The lights in the cockpit also flickered continuously until they went out.
At the same time, the space-time curvature of the area affected by the space-time bubble around the cargo ship quickly returned to normal. Including the cargo ship equipped with the Protoss transport plane, 22 spaceships of various types at the tail of the transport team were forced out of virtual time and space.
After three or five breaths, the emergency lights emitted a crimson glow, illuminating the faces of several people in the cockpit of the cargo ship, as well as a gun.
It wasn't the one on Taut Kidd's belt, or the other crew's. It came from a stranger.
"Boom!"
A gunshot rang out, and Taot Kidd fell down in response. Blood spattered out and smeared the dashboard.
The others were stunned, who is this person? Why did it suddenly appear on the cargo ship? Along the way, they would check every few hours to make sure there was nothing unusual on board.
Obviously everything was normal before this, but how did he get here?
The co-pilot was the first to react, he took a step back, and then went to draw the gun on his waist, but just as his right hand touched the handle of the gun and was about to pull it out, a bullet exploded his chest.
In the splash of blood, he flew backwards, and through the gap between the blood beads, he witnessed the death of several other crew members.
When he was dying, he heard a faint sound of electric current, two streamers flashed in front of his eyes, and there were actually two more people in the cockpit.
He didn't figure out who the enemy was until he died, and how did he know that the transport plane was hidden on the cargo ship.
…………
When Tao Te Kidd and others were killed by Tang Fang, a pirate fleet composed of 128 warships quietly approached the "Crammond Group" fleet that was overloaded and crashed due to energy back erosion.
When the leading 24 cruisers arrived at the front line, accompanied by a burst of intense flames, magnetic rail projectiles burst through the air like a torrential rain.
There were 12 frigates and 2 destroyers among the 22 spaceships that were stranded.
They "twisted" their bodies desperately, trying to avoid the shelling of the cruiser cluster by using the propulsion system that was not very clever.
Facts have proved that everything is in vain. As early as the moment they were forced out of the virtual space by the interceptor, the outcome was doomed.
The 600mm-caliber cannon balls pierced through the fragile armor of the Preacher-class frigate made in the United Kingdom of Turanx, and the flames and explosions roared all the way, and the nearly 100-meter-long hull was swallowed up in a few breaths.
The fate of the Retribution Knight-class destroyer was not much better. The heavy missiles exploded into a row of big fireballs on the outer armor. The explosion tore the hull apart. Coupled with those large-caliber kinetic energy bombs, the entire battleship was like a piece of glass that fell to the ground and shattered. , falling apart in a blink of an eye, reduced to a mass of dead ruins.
128vs14. Coupled with the fact that the warships of the "Crammond Group" were in a semi-paralyzed state, the whole battle situation was like a bleak autumn wind rolling the fallen leaves, and it came to a halt in less than 10 minutes.
The corpses of the battleship floated and sank in the void, and the 8 cargo ships were like survivors of the storm.
A shuttle flew out from the cargo ship where Tout Kidd was on, pulling a large box behind it, like a returning bird. Calmly join the pirate fleet.
A few minutes later, the containment work was completed, and the pirate battleships turned their bows one after another, started the warp drive, and finally turned into afterimages and disappeared into the deep void of space.
In the cockpit of a freighter that survived by luck, five crew members collapsed to the ground. A black man who looked a little older opened his mouth and after gathering his strength for a long time, he said tremblingly: "You...you see Clearly no...is...is it the Apollo Pirates?"
A white man dabbed the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief: "And... and a white beard."
"..."
They couldn't figure out why the pirates killed 18 warships with one shot. But leave the cargo ship here.
"Aren't the pirates targeting the expensive medicines in the cargo hold?"
The few people looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly thought of the shuttle flying out of the freighter where Tout Kidd was, and the huge metal cabinet behind it.
"Could it be that... the pirates are only targeting the metal cabinet? But if it's not medicine, what's in it? Also, what happened to Tout Kidd and the others?"
Despite the doubts in their hearts, none of them dared to act rashly until the subsystems of the cargo ship returned to normal, until the figure of the Covenant Navy fleet appeared on the radar screen.
…………
a week later. A shocking news caused an uproar in the Covenant network, after the Mongya Empire increased its troops on the border. The Sulu Empire also mobilized a large number of troops to confront the former horns, forming a pressing situation.
The reason why the Sulu Empire did this made the people of the Star Alliance a little puzzled for a while, because they wanted to discuss a statement, a statement worth "600 billion".
Indeed, the escort fleet sent by Wright Peters was attacked by several mysterious fleets on the way, and even the Third Committee participated in the siege. But under the care of the Star Alliance Navy, they finally returned to the territory of the Sulu Empire with great danger.
Now that the escort team has successfully arrived at the border, the transport plane should be safe and sound, but what is the value of "600 billion"?
Public opinion was in an uproar, and all kinds of speculation and gossip spread rapidly among the people.
finally. The Star Alliance government had no choice but to issue an official statement to refute the rumors.
It turned out that the escort team consisting of nearly a thousand warships was just a prop used by Wright Peters to deceive others because of his cleverness, while the real transport plane was secretly transferred to the cargo fleet of the "Crammond Group" for hiding. Played the trick of repairing the plank road and secretly hiding the old warehouse.
It is a pity that reality gave him an extremely loud slap in the face. The cargo fleet of the "Crammond Group" was attacked by a pirate fleet, and the transport ship worth 600 billion star coins disappeared without a trace.
Afterwards, the Sulu Empire learned from some channels that the robbery was done by the Apollo Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.
As we all know, the Star Alliance Council stood behind the Apollo Pirates. Therefore, the Sulu Empire believed that the high-level members of the Star Alliance were involved in the robbery, and then deployed a large number of troops on the border to cooperate with the Monya Empire to exert pressure.
Knowing this official statement, the public suddenly realized.
In the next few days, the "Apollo" pirate group became the focus of people's attention without any surprise, and the two congressmen behind them were also devastated, sitting on pins and needles.
One year ago, because of Byron's imprisonment, the "Apollo" pirate group was divided into two factions, one was Chen Jian and Stephen Su's faction, and the other was Albert's faction. After that, after nearly a year of power struggle, Albert used various insidious means to nibble away the power of his opponent bit by bit, and gradually took control of the entire "Apollo" pirate group.
However, just as Albert gradually grew from a small leader to a cunning leader of the big pirate group, something unexpected happened. Byron suddenly came back and escaped safely from the Monya Empire.
As a result, Albert's foundation began to shake. Under the secret instigation of Stephen Su and Chen Jian, a large number of pirate leaders who were nostalgic for the past planned to launch a mutiny to pull Albert from the position of captain and replace him again. Go up Byron.
Unexpectedly, the matter was exposed, and Albert was the first to attack. He controlled Chen Jian first, but Stephen Su escaped for various reasons, so he had no choice but to take his subordinates to escape from the headquarters and enter the "Dilar" star system to have a round with Byron.
Since then, the "Apollo" pirate group has been divided into two, and the top pirate organization has been reduced to two branches, one big and one middle school. Among them, the backstage boss of Byron's pirate branch is still Terry Ferdinand, and Albert's "Apollo" main fleet has long been bought by Terry Ferdinand's nemesis, Tomlinson Dale.
At present, because of the pressure from the Sulu Empire, whether it is Terry Ferdinand or Tomlinson Dale, the lives of the two are not very easy.
According to the records of the cargo ship pilots of the "Crammond Group", it was "Apollo" and "Whitebeard" who carried out the robbery. From this point of view, it should be the "Apollo" pirates of Albert's series. fleet. But when Tomlinson Dale sent a telegram to ask for confirmation, he was told by Albert that he did not do this, but that someone pretended to be the "Apollo" pirates and framed him.
Seriously speaking, the relationship between the large-scale pirate group and the top executives of the Star Alliance is not a simple subordinate-subordinate relationship, and a large part of the cooperation factor is involved. Tomlinson Dale does not think that Albert really did not do anything when he said that he did not do anything , compared to the Yipsilon ruins worth 600 billion star coins. Lying is nothing more than lip service, who wouldn't?
certainly. Naturally, he would not speak out what was in his heart, but turned his gun around, directing the trouble to Terry Ferdinand, saying that it was a small move by Byron to avenge Albert, because the transport plane was too valuable and involved To a sovereign country like the Sulu Empire. No matter how courageous Albert was, he would not be so ignorant of current affairs. As a pirate who just sat on the throne of captain, how could he cause such trouble for himself.
On a very rare occasion, Terry Ferdinand threw a fit and called Tomlinson Dale an old bastard.
The reason why he is so excited. It is because the conflict between the two has been going on for a long time. You must know that the "Apollo" pirates were his right-hand man in the past, but now they are snatched away by their rivals without bloodshed, and now they are talking nonsense with their eyes open. Er? Ben and Albert were fighting together, working together, and now pouring dirty water on him, uncle can bear it, auntie can't bear it!
So the two of them fought in the parliament like a woman who was stalking in the street, without the slightest demeanor of the elders. In this way, an emergency meeting turned into a carnival of scolders and persuaders. As for who robbed 600 billion, it has become a secondary issue.
If the meeting couldn't go on, it would naturally end.
Cursing, Terry Ferdinand, who was about to roll up his sleeves and smack someone, returned to the residence with puffy cheeks, and then seemed to be a different person, regained his calm and rationality, and then personally contacted Byron in Christel to verify the matter.
In fact, it was Tang Fang and Byron who completed the robbery together. The warships of the Whitebeard Pirates were just illusions created by high-ranking templars to confuse their vision. Of course, he would not tell the old man Guys tell the truth.
From the moment Tang Fang appeared in the "Dilal" star system, the connection between Byron Alonso and Terry Ferdinand was severed by an invisible knife.
Originally, Byron had more than 200 warships in his hands, plus the more than 100 warships captured from Charlemagne. Although "Christelle" is still the territory of "Venus" Pharmaceutical in name, it has actually become a Tang Fang's back garden, to put it bluntly, last time it seemed that the Morning Star rescued "Dilal" from the Charlemagne fleet and kept the industrial park, but in fact? It would not be an exaggeration to say that it lured wolves into the house.
Although Captain Tang is young and young, he has always had a lot of twists and turns in his stomach. Long before the auction ended, he used the advanced quantum communication equipment on the Morningstar to get in touch with Byron who was far away in "Cristier", and decided to Make today's plan.
Not to mention that Terry Ferdinand didn't know about it, even Ruskin and others in the industrial park couldn't notice it.
Therefore, it was not him who killed Byron with one bite, nor did the parliament.
If the Star Alliance wants to quell this matter, they must either compromise or ignore the pressure from the Sulu Empire and the Monya Empire. If they choose the former, they must find a substitute. If they choose the latter, they must be prepared to fight.
This is a multiple-choice question. Unfortunately, Byron is not interested in it. He will do what Tang Fang says, and that is enough.
Even though he used to be the head of the "Apollo" pirate group, but in fact he doesn't like to intrigue with those in the government. He prefers to focus on Turanx and Cecilia.
He is Byron, he loves beauties more than country!
…………
Not only the high-level disputes in the government are continuing, but public opinion is also causing a storm. Some militants claim to fight back, because the Star Alliance has been weak for too many years. After these years of recuperation, it is now strong and strong. Is it still afraid that they will fail? What's more, the situation of the Mongya Empire and the Sulu Empire in the Gampna theater is not optimistic, and the manpower and material resources are very tight. Once the two fronts go to war, it will be the result of an enemy. some.
Of course, there are also peacemakers. After all, there are a lot of pirate groups in the Star Alliance. It is not difficult to give the Sulu Empire a step down if they just put on a hat and send troops to attack them.
Some people also suggested that why not push this matter to the Third Committee, and you Sulu Empire can go to them if you have the ability. (to be continued...)
