Chapter 646: The Situation
B6 hangar.
The main entrance area is covered with a bright red carpet.
Two rows of elite soldiers dressed in neat mechanical armor lined up solemnly.
Augustus, Spade, and Li Ruiqi stood side by side.
Behind him, Thurius and other core official members of the GT department, the heads of the First Army, Second Army, and Third Army were all present.
Basically all the senior members of the Black Glory were present.
Yaque was silent at the scene, quietly waiting for the opening of the docking channel.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Su Mo ran over out of breath.
Wang Hai and others squinted at Su Mo.
"Sorry for being late."
Su Mo looked embarrassed, and quickly found a place to stand.
No one said anything about him, and everyone seemed to be used to it.
Su Mo looked around and was a little puzzled when he saw the welcoming battle. Who is this person here? With such attention, he must be a big shot.
At this moment, there is a click.
The docking channel port is opened.
I saw the deputy chairman of the council, Estherine, walking in with a tall and straight non-commissioned officer.
"salute!"
The captain of the guard of honor shouted loudly.
brush!
The two rows of non-commissioned officers saluted neatly and uniformly.
The three of Augustus greeted Iserine with smiles on their faces.
Su Mo was also slightly surprised when he saw Iselin. He didn't expect that the Federation would send another vice president of the parliament to take over.
It seems that these two half-resource stars are more valued than expected.
"Vice-President Iselin, I finally look forward to you. The journey has been exhausting."
Augustus smiled and hugged Etherine.
"It's you who really worked hard. You escaped death outside and found incomparably precious resources for the Federation."
Etherine responded with a smile.
"It's hard to find resources, and it's even harder to keep them. You still need to pick the next burden."
Li Ruiqi said with emotion.
"Don't worry about this, my old bones can still hold on. And after you leave, I will build the first transit supply city here, and I will also build a space defense base here. If people with discerning eyes come to make trouble, they will definitely give them a look."
Etherine is still so strong.
"Haha, then we can rest assured."
Augustus and the others responded with a smile.
Su Mo was also very surprised to hear this. The Federation intends to deploy a strategic transit base here.
But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed feasible.
On the one hand, it can protect the resources here, and on the other hand, it can serve as a springboard to allow the subsequent Federation ships to go further.
If Su Mo's guess is correct, Iselin must have brought relevant technology and personnel here.
This should be a strategic policy drawn up before departure. As for the resources and materials needed for construction, they can be obtained locally.
At this time, Estherine's eyes fell on Wen Luosi, and Wen Luosi greeted with reddish eyes.
"Lord Etherine."
Estherine smiled and stretched out her hand to hug Wen Luosi, and said kindly: "Wen Luosi has worked hard for you."
"It's not hard, this is what I should do."
Wen Luosi shook her head.
"Good boy."
Etherine nodded in relief.
At this moment, Wang Hai, Xiulis and others greeted Iserine one by one.
"Hello, Lady Etherine."
"Hello, I haven't seen you for a few years. I can feel that you have grown a lot."
Estherine replied very accommodatingly.
Seeing this, Su Mo gritted his teeth and greeted, "Hello, Lady Iselin."
Immediately, Yiselin's eyes fell on Su Mo, she paused for a moment, and then showed a bright smile.
"You should be Su Mo."
"yes!"
Su Mo replied awkwardly.
"Sure enough, you are a good-looking talent. At such a young age, I have heard Councilor Long Ming praise you a lot. Today I finally met a real person."
Estherine praised Su Mo without hesitation.
"Master Iselin, you are right to praise, Su Mo is very good."
Li Ruiqi agreed with a smile.
"Indeed, the future is promising! By the way, Li Ruiqi, Augustus has something, I want to ask you."
After praising Su Mo, Estherine asked with a serious expression.
"What, you say."
The three of Augustus were also a little puzzled.
"Hei Yao is returning this time, how many resources are loaded?"
Estherine was not polite either, and asked straight to the point. It's not that Estherine doesn't have enough self-cultivation, but that she has wanted to ask about this for a long time.
"A lot, already fully loaded."
Li Ruiqi explained to him.
Hearing this, Estherine lowered her voice and said to the three of Li Ruiqi: "We have known each other for so many years, so I won't beat around the bush. The current situation of the Federation is not very good, and there is still a severe shortage of resources. And I sit here, It is estimated that I will not be able to go back in the next few years. I hope that after your return, you can take proper care of the O area, so that I can reduce my worries. I know it is not appropriate to say this here, but I thought about it, and I still want to take advantage of it. Let’s talk about this opportunity.”
Etherine's voice was so low that normal people couldn't hear it.
But it's a pity that Su Mo's ears are sharp and he can hear clearly.
After listening to it, he not only didn't feel anything, but felt that the Vice-Chairman Iselin was pretty good, at least he had something to say.
The three of Augustus looked at each other and replied in a low voice.
"Don't worry, we know how to do it."
"That's good."
Seeing that they agreed, Etherine's tense face relaxed.
"It's not appropriate for Lady Yiselin to chat here. We'll prepare a welcome banquet for you. Why don't we chat while eating?"
Li Ruiqi brought it up naturally.
"Okay, by the way, you can tell me more about the situation here."
Etherine nodded.
In the banquet hall, Estherine and Augustus took their seats behind the main seats.
Su Mo and others also accompanied them to their seats, and delicious dishes were served one after another.
While eating, Li Ruiqi asked Iselin.
"I heard that this year, the internal area was very chaotic, is it true?"
"It's even more chaotic than you imagined. Those imperial civilizations are more barbaric than the other, and at the same time stronger than the other, and they are always looking for trouble outside. In fact, the Federation has also considered opening up earlier, but they are so messed up. It was delayed in the end."
When Estherine said this, her face was a little gloomy.
"We'll clean them up later."
Augustus said in a deep voice.
"Actually, the most troublesome thing is not the empires."
Etherine pondered for a while and said.
"Then what is the most troublesome thing?"
Spade asked suspiciously.
"The most troublesome thing is that the tumors that have escaped from those empires are the people they themselves wanted, and there are some people with ulterior motives. These people have formed dark organizations and interstellar pirates of different sizes, building a huge In the underground dark world, they are even more lawless."
Estherine frowned and said.
