Chapter 1463 Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse

In the outer space of Bitao Star, there are also many starships that refuse to land, which is somewhat similar to the Empire.

The difference is that there are a lot more starships here.

Xiaohu quietly invaded the network system, only to find out that this place has been managed under semi-military management, and the entry and exit are very strict.

The alien invasion is imminent. If proper management is not done, everyone will disappear long ago.

Therefore, foreign starships will not take the initiative to apply for landing unless they have to - it will be bad if they can't get out.

As a result, a group of local short-legged starships were born, specializing in space and ground transportation.

Not long after the heavily loaded merchant ship stopped, someone contacted them and asked them what kind of cargo they were carrying.

This person said that he could transport it on his behalf, and if there was no consignee, he could also purchase it on his behalf.

The fourth master replied, we have already made arrangements, you can go find someone else.

There are too many starships parked in space, and it is not uncommon for them to refuse to be disturbed.

In the quasi-frontline theater, there are too many various transactions, many of which are shady, and everyone is not surprised.

The starship stayed for a day, then bought some ingredients from a short-legged starship, and then wandered in outer space.

Xizhao has already set up a teleportation array on the ground. The fourth master stayed behind on the starship while the others teleported to Bitao.

When you first come to this planet, the first thing you have to solve is the problem of clothing.

The Alliance's clothing is quite different from the Empire's, and Bitao's clothing has a unique style.

Apart from anything else, it is very speechless to say that men generally wear skirts and women wear pants instead...

But since you're in the countryside, just follow the local customs. Xiaohu has already chosen a clothing warehouse and lets Xizhao steal some clothes.

Then everyone started to wander around the planet in groups of two or three.

It must be admitted that there are still many differences between the Alliance and the Empire, and people generally live a more relaxed life.

Now Bitaoxing can almost be considered a quasi-frontline, but the general state of the residents is still relatively relaxed.

There are many checkpoints on the streets, randomly checking pedestrians, which should be regarded as an atmosphere of war.

But most people still looked calm. Some were singing and dancing in the street, while others were sitting on the roadside drinking.

Some people cursed loudly, saying that the residents should be relocated earlier. The current countermeasures are equivalent to trapping everyone.

However, very few people said this, and many people refuted it, saying that everyone has the responsibility to protect their homeland.

Some people also said with certainty that when the resistance is no longer possible, the alliance will naturally evacuate residents on a large scale.

This is not something out of thin air. Similar emergency evacuation plans have been rehearsed many times.

But those who complain still believe that those evacuation plans are just a fool's errand.

After a few words of argument, two city guards came around the corner and took the grumbling one away.

The reason is - I suspect you are an imperial spy and are deliberately disrupting social order.

Others suddenly realized that this explanation was reasonable, even if someone had been this person's neighbor for many years.

So what do the Bitao people say? I don’t know if I’m being arrogant or if I’m really naive.

The overall social atmosphere is not as oppressive as the empire, and it lacks a bit of murderous intent.

Of course, this is different from the alliance spies that Qu Jianlei came into contact with, but the people who carried out the infiltration mission were definitely different.

Seeing them chatting happily, Qu Jianlei, as a passerby, couldn't help but interject.

"Didn't you say that we want to release detailed information about the alien race? Why haven't we released it yet? How can we prepare?"

Someone glanced at him casually, smiled and shook his head, "He is another one who wants to start a war. Don't worry, it won't be as fast as you think."

Obviously, resisting aliens is the right thing to do, and those who want to fight against them will also gain general favor.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but added, "Wouldn't it be better to prepare early?"

As a result, the other party replied disapprovingly, "Just start fighting. If you can't beat me, just run away. Is there any use in being more prepared?"

This is really arrogant, but then again, as the people at the bottom, do we have more choices?

They stayed in Bitao for three days and basically didn't get any more information about the alien race.

Even Xiaohu couldn't find relevant information online. The only thing that was certain was that the lost planet... was difficult to get back!

Listen to what these are saying, war is imminent, and the information blockade is still so strict.

On the fourth night, Qu Jianlei and Xizhao sneaked into the alliance's military warehouse.

It is not a local military region, but a warehouse directly under the army. The ammunition reserves here are far better than those in the local area.

The weapons and ammunition of the Alliance and the Empire are not universal, and the ammunition carried by the heavily loaded merchant ships is not much, so it is necessary to supplement them.

Qu Jianlei collected as much ammunition as possible, as well as some weapons and equipment.

As for the consequences of the theft of the arsenal, he didn't bother to think about it.

If the other party thinks that it was done by local forces, that would be the best. Anyway, no one can be sure that it was done by imperial infiltrators.

Xizhao thought even more harshly, "It's better to blow up the warehouse directly. The allusion of 'fire dragon burning the warehouse' is still true."

"This... let's forget it," Qu Jianlei thought about it and finally shook his head.

The Alliance and the Empire are sworn enemies, but if the arms warehouse is blown up and the aliens come over...how can ordinary people resist?

But Yi He actually agreed with Xizhao's suggestion, "With information blocked to this extent, does the alliance treat the people under its rule as human beings?"

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied, "Then... let's blow up a small warehouse."

This is also a last resort. The key is that no channels can find out more detailed information about the alien race.

The military does not have similar information? That is simply impossible. It has been stuck like this, and no one knows who to guard against.

Half an hour later, a shocking firestorm suddenly sounded, and the ground trembled.

The army directly under the alliance was instantly alerted, and countless people rushed to the scene.

What was detonated was a medium-sized ammunition depot, mainly because the types in the small ammunition depot were incomplete.

After a careful inspection, the military took a breath of cold air. It was just a little bit short, and several ammunition depots next to it would be detonated.

It can even be said that the other warehouses were not affected, purely because of good luck, and there is no second explanation.

They really didn't expect that the reason for this result was purely because someone protected other warehouses.

The person who detonated it is the person who protected it... This kind of logic is not something that normal people can think of!

The military's management of warehouses is extremely strict, and with the alliance's technological level, it is impossible for an inexplicable self-firestorm to occur.

So the military made a judgment at the first time: this incident must have been done by the infiltrator of the empire.

In the face of aliens, they actually arranged for someone to blow up the alliance's arsenal. It really deserves the title of "Evil Empire".

Then the government and the military joined forces to start a strict inspection, and the relaxed atmosphere on Bi Tao Star disappeared.

No matter how terrible the aliens are, they are still far away. The violent incidents happening around them are real.

When Bi Tao Star was in chaos, Qu Jianlei and others had been teleported back to the heavy-loaded merchant ship.

But they did not leave, but kept a close eye on the reaction of the planet below.

Is it just a simple investigation of spies? Obviously impossible, it has always been a matter of chess from the beginning.

The local army first put forward its own proposition: the way of ammunition storage of the alliance's direct army is too dangerous.

If it weren't for good luck, the loss this time would be huge.

In the final analysis, it is still a dispute caused by different interests. The local army has always been raised by a stepmother in front of the direct military.

It can even be said that the latter is the real military, while the former is similar to the existence of the National Guard.

The local military district also has advanced enough weapons, but the problem is that there are not many weapons and ammunition.

In order to protect the interests of the country, the alliance will certainly be wary of local forces becoming bigger and stronger - at least in the military field, it must ensure its advantage.

In normal times, the local army also recognizes such a division of labor, and there should be differences between the regular army and the local armed forces.

But now that the aliens are coming to kill, a large number of weapons and ammunition are still controlled by the direct army, which is really inappropriate!

The direct army also has many bases in the local area, but they are far from being comparable to the local army.

Limited bases store most of the ammunition - how can this be safe?

The local army believes that spies and sabotage must be strictly investigated, but the safety of ammunition cannot be ignored.

So they took this incident to say that this mechanism must be adjusted!

- It's okay in normal times, but now it's semi-militarized control, and the local arsenal must be effectively replenished.

When the aliens come, the arsenals everywhere can also ensure that the arms are delivered to the people as soon as possible.

The direct army also knows that the requirements of the local forces are not unreasonable.

But handing it over like this not only violates the principles of the alliance, but also confirms the charge of negligence in management.

There should indeed be wartime rules in wartime, but the military cannot act on its own - the army of the alliance can only listen to the alliance.

The military said that it would report it and obtain authorization from the alliance before it could operate.

There is no problem with this answer, but the local army cannot accept it.

Reporting to the masters of the alliance, who knows when there will be results.

So the original problem of vigorously tracking down spies gradually turned into a struggle for the right to allocate military resources.

However, the alliance’s response this time was not slow, and it quickly gave a compromise plan.

Some of the arms can be dispersed to the local area, but for the convenience of management, only a limited number of storage points can be added.

Moreover, these storage points must be guarded by the alliance army, and the local army can only assist and cooperate at most.

And these dispersed arms cannot exceed 20% of the total storage.

The proportion is a bit small, but the alliance military believes that Bi Tao Star has a lot of war preparation materials, and 20% is not a small amount.

However, the local army and government were quite dissatisfied: How can you give this little to beggars?

Although the total amount is not small, once the alien race attacks, Bi Tao Star can be regarded as a whole nation of soldiers!

No matter how large the number is, it is still an insignificant number when averaged out to each person.
