Volume 7 Chapter 74 Caught
The farce at Airport No. 15 came to an end silently.
Tens of thousands of Chakna officers and soldiers watched the unconscious Salmon being carried off, and also watched Carolina and a group of Feiyang officers leave angrily with grave faces. What made them talk and marvel the most was that they actually saw the fat Major General Nalele following behind Carolina.
Along the way, this guy shook hands with a group of Feiyang officers and greeted them cordially, as if the person who just hit them had nothing to do with him. Most of Feiyang's officers shook hands with him stiffly, but when he met two who glared at him regardless of their demeanor, the fat man also smiled honestly, showing off his magnanimity.
No matter how acute the conflict is, this is not the time to turn against each other.
Both the Feiyang and the Chakna understand this very well. Salmon, who was beaten half to death, was put on the ship back to Feiyang before his injuries could heal.
Zhang Pengcheng didn’t mention it, and neither did Carolina.
Both parties have issued a gag order on what to do and what to do. Joint actual combat exercises, joint headquarters exercises, defense plans and deployments, official documents and material exchanges, instructions uploaded and issued... On the surface, everything seems to be back to normal.
However, everyone knows that beneath this calm normalcy, there is an undercurrent.
The day after Zhang Pengcheng returned to the base, he reported the entire incident to the Chakna Military Headquarters.
This report naturally caused an earthquake in the Chakna Military Department. President Chakna personally came forward to meet with Ambassador Fei Yang for negotiation. The military headquarters of both sides have conducted face-to-face communication and consultation with coordination groups composed of senior generals.
The final result of the negotiations is unknown, but the officers and soldiers of Chakna knew from the satisfied look on General Zhang Pengcheng's face after receiving the news of the return of the military headquarters that this time, the Feiyang Republic must be bleeding heavily!
but. Everyone doesn't know it. This time. Contentedly except Chakna. and General Bernadotte of Lere. As the top general of the third place in the battle. He just got the report from Fatty. He walked around the joint command headquarters and President Chakna's office indifferently. By the way, I called President Feiyan. I also got some benefits!
certainly. This "some". It was enough to keep Bernadotte and Flavio hiding in the office laughing all day.
Now that an agreement has been reached. The Republic of Feyan and the Republic of Chakna. Naturally, the truth of the matter is kept secret. Turn to get ahead of Xiyo. Hugely publicized the victory of this battle.
From the beginning to the end of the campaign. All image data has been carefully selected and sorted out. Made into a special feature.
When this severely damaged fleet finally toyed with the enemy with a Lu Ze growth formation. When the topic of annihilating one and a half enemy fleets spread throughout the human world. One can imagine. What a ripple it would cause.
Fei Meng is inspiring for everyone. A place of discussion in the streets. It's all a miraculous victory. And West York. Especially the Empire of Seuss. It's a loss of face. They released a video of the Fiyan Republic fleet betraying the Chakna fleet. Under the joint statement of Feiyang and Chaknadhi. Being ridiculed as a fig leaf. King Sioux O'Brady III. At that time, he kicked the table in the palace.
The officers and soldiers of Chakna let out a fierce breath. Everyone understands. All this was thanks to Major General Le Leitian. Until a few days later, the officers and soldiers of Chakna were still discussing Fatty Major General Leray's spit. When it comes to the intense part, everyone is elated, as if it is the most exciting and exhilarating scene they have ever seen in their life.
For this Major General Le Lei, who had no soldiers, all the officers and soldiers of Chakna had only the word "submission" left. When we meet on weekdays, we greet each other with a smile. In addition, the fat man himself is also a Chakna tribesman with black hair and black eyes, in his heart. Everyone in the fleet of the Twelve Groups regarded Fatty as one of their own.
The Feiyang people, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, seemed to be much silent from top to bottom. In addition to training, there are ship maintenance and routine outbound patrols. They rarely leave the base. Occasionally, I saw a few Feiyang officers and soldiers drinking wine outside the base, quietly staying away from the crowd, in sharp contrast to the laughing Chakna people.
The contrast between the movements and silences of the two armies is sharp. Everyone can feel it when their eyes meet. The tense emotions between each other. only. High-level officials issued bans time and time again, and both parties intended to maintain distance and restraint.
war. It is still going on without stopping for a moment.
In the central theater, the Naga Federation and the Lane Republic, two neighboring countries that have been sworn enemies for many years, have used all their strength. The Feiyang Republic's military operations in the Carlston Galaxy and the Chakna Republic's military operations in the Lesk Galaxy are also gradually intensifying.
Battles big and small followed one after another. There are endless news reports about the victory, but the list of fallen soldiers on the bulletin board is getting denser and denser.
In Mars Freeport, where the genre war has ended, social order has returned to normal.
In this world exiled from mainstream human society, the law of the forest, where the jungle prevails, brings not only bloody battles, but also strong vitality. Despite the almost crazy destruction by the Northern Alliance, when everything returned to calm, the people of Mars suddenly sprung up from all over the place like mushrooms after a rain, and started their new life on the ruins.
As merchant ships and smuggling ships in the free shipping lanes arrived in Mars Harbor one after another, the area around the surface port first began to become lively. People exchanged all kinds of things for the first batch of food and daily necessities to arrive in months, and a spontaneous market was formed almost instantly.
Major companies also started restorative production after the raw materials delivered by the company fleet arrived. Smugglers and border breakers quickly found a place that belonged to them, exchanged information with each other, and explored the routes that their smuggling ships could pass. The Freeport is in dire straits, and the supplies organized by business groups from all over the world are sold out almost as soon as they arrive at the port. The role of mercenaries has also increased.
The only ones who have a hard time are probably pirates and violent societies.
With the entry of the Fei Alliance forces, the violent associations attached to the major factions have almost no room for survival. The previous ruling pattern of the factions has been broken. Now it is the Feiyang people who make the rules. Patrolling the streets. Also Feiyang and Chakna soldiers. No society dares to feel uncomfortable in front of these armed soldiers with cold eyes and the ferocious military mechas beside them. Although there were still some forced purchases and sales, and some threats and intimidation in secret, there was no trace of the unscrupulous robbery on the surface. .
The pirate group is even more miserable. Feiyang and Chakna fleets, the main defensive area. It is the A-class waterway leading from Mars Freeport to the main channel. Hundreds of warships cruise on these waterways. Each jumping point is guarded watertight. Every ship passing by must undergo hull scanning and inspection. Boarding a ship to inspect and rob in these star fields is simply courting death.
Don’t dare to stay in the A-level waterway. The pirates dare not stay in the B-level and C-level waterways!
If we say, the regular fleet of the Fiji Alliance. As long as they keep a respectful distance, don't make themselves uncomfortable under others' noses, and can still ensure safety, then the fleet of "Broken Ghosts" wandering in Mars' free shipping lanes is simply a reminder that will be attached to them at some point. symbol.
Since the beginning of the faction war, this fleet has not stopped their actions.
Not only did they rob business groups and smugglers, they also robbed the pirates of food. They also attacked any pirate fleet that came into their sight. So far, more than twenty pirate groups, large and small, have been removed from the Mars pirate group list after encountering the Broken Ghost Fleet. With this ghost fleet that is familiar with the Mars Channel and wandering around, let alone plundering privately, the pirates even hang around in front of their homes and ask for worship.
This day is obviously impossible to live through. Many pirate groups have changed their minds. Started a business.
Unlike during the genre war, doing business now is still a guaranteed profit.
After countless space stations and free docks in the Mars Free Channel were captured by the "Broken Ghost" fleet, but eventually fell into the control of the bandit army, everyone understood the relationship between this fleet and the bandit army in Protown. Therefore, when one day, everyone discovered that they could be in the space station and free dock controlled by the bandits in the town of Polo. When buying a pass. No one found it strange.
The pass is charged according to the type of ship, type and quantity of cargo. Average cost. is twenty percent. If it were in mainstream human society, such a high cost would be enough to drive people crazy, but in the free world of Mars, for corporate fleets and merchant fleets whose profits often reach hundreds or even thousands of percent, this would not even matter. Nothing. They even secretly rejoiced that the bandits were willing to charge such fees.
Facts have proved that businessmen’s eyesight is always sharp. The fleet holding the pass not only has complete unimpeded access to the Mars Free Channel. Even supply and maintenance in the free dock or trading on the space station are without any trouble. Some fleets, after encountering the "Broken Ghost", actually enjoyed the excellent service of this shabby fleet - escort.
The captain of the first merchant ship to encounter the "Broken Ghost" fleet anxiously sent an electronic pass, and when he saw the tattered warships viciously surrounding the transport ship, slowly transforming into a convoy formation, and greeting him, he was literally in tears. Full face. Going from hell to heaven was so exciting that he couldn't stand it.
There was also a group of blind pirates who robbed a merchant fleet that had purchased a pass. However, within two days, the pirates were completely wiped out. All goods were returned to the owners intact. This incident made the fleet, like crucian carp crossing the river, crossing the free channel understand who is the master in this star field.
The Mars Channel is like a large distribution market. Its buyers are not only business groups such as the Mars Channel, but also all over the surrounding areas, including Chalkna, Sousse, Jeppon, Salga, Leray and Tartania, Putitok, Germany The entire southeastern star field including Sike. In addition to the above countries, there are also neutral countries further north and west that provide sources of goods for this market.
When a valve is installed on the flow of goods in such a market, you can imagine how much money flowed into the pockets of the bandits.
Feiyang, Chakna, Bandit Army.
These are the three largest forces that dominate Mars Freeport. The life of every Mars person is affected by these three forces. People will always pay attention to the subtle changes.
The Soos people spied on this star territory; the establishment of the Mars ruling system; the appearance of the Chakna and the Feiyang people; The genre certification announcement and the genre mecha competition organized by the Fimeng Mars Front Army. And, Tailiu and Zetsuliu, who people originally thought were unable to stand up, reappeared in a majestic manner...all of this. It has become a topic of daily discussion among Mars people.
From these topics, people can get a glimpse of Mars at this moment, the complicated situation that people cannot understand.
It rained lightly, and the ground covered the sky. The gray clouds made it impossible to distinguish the boundaries. Just a vast expanse of gray.
On Brown Street in the central city of Mars, simple shelves stretch across the entire block. On the shelves, rainproof awnings were set up with raincloths or wooden boards. There were several shelves, and even lightweight bulletproof walls picked up were used to protect them from the rain. There are all kinds of things on the shelves. They are newly shipped daily necessities to Mars, and a small part of them are such as mecha parts. Antiques and other miscellaneous things. These are the civilians of Mars who came here to exchange for food.
People come and go in the market. Crowded. Rain seems to have no effect here at all. The cargo owners, who were already relatively well off, stood reservedly behind the shelves, haggling with hesitant customers. On the remaining walls of the ruins, dripping raindrops pitter-pattered into the small puddles on the street. The street was crowded with people, and the water on the ground was splashing under people's feet. From time to time, someone came closer holding something. After asking a few questions, he left frustrated.
Most of the buildings on both sides of Brown Street are in dilapidated condition. The flowing rain seemed to coat the ruins with a film of light. Even the rubble piles of floor tiles in the block were washed away. At the intersection of the block, there is only one gray eight-story building that is still intact. It was originally the site of a bank, and now it has the name Mars Free Exchange. here. It is also the busiest place in this temporary market.
The former Mars Free Trading Center no longer exists. However, as one of the symbols of the free world of Mars, the exchange was reopened immediately after the genre war ended. Although simple, there are more commodities, materials and various information scrolling on the trading screen of this exchange than in the previous trading center. .
At the entrance of the exchange, there were a few men in thin clothes. His chest was open and radiating steam. Working together, we unloaded the last micro-container from the heavy truck and placed it on the porch in front of the exchange's main door.
Finish the work. Several people sat down in a staggered manner. One of them, a middle-aged man, panted, took out the cigarettes carefully wrapped in a waterproof bag, and scattered them in a circle. Everyone lit the fire with each other, blew out a puff of smoke, and enjoyed the moment of comfort after hard work.
"Have you heard?" The middle-aged man glanced at the owner of the goods who was inspecting the goods with the buyer, and said to the several guys beside him: "There are already dozens of schools signing up to participate in the arena competition starting tomorrow!"
"So what if you know?" A short, stocky man with black hair and brown eyes leaned on the pillar, holding a cigarette and straightening his legs: "We can't afford tickets. Besides, there are no factions in the faction cooperation alliance. , what exciting games can these small schools play?"
The middle-aged man grabbed the towel on his shoulder, wiped it twice on his wet head, curled his lips and said: "To say you are confused, you are really stupid. Do you think I mean by saying this, I want to watch the game? "
"What do you want to say?" The short and sturdy man was a little confused. "This competition is to select candidates for the ruling alliance..." The middle-aged man looked around warily, and said quietly and mysteriously: "If this continues, the bandits will be in danger! It's obvious, Fei Yang Ren wants to attack here..."
"You don't need to say this?" Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the short and stocky man said disdainfully: "Don't talk about now, just talk about the past few decades, where has Feiyang Republic not got involved?! This time, see The Lelei people have defeated Mars, so it's strange that they don't come to take advantage. However, I think it's okay for them to take advantage of other people's bandit troops in these two times... ..."
Before the stocky man could finish speaking, he was hit hard by his companion beside him. He grinned after being hit. He turned his head and was about to get angry when he saw a Feiyang officer leading a group of soldiers with live ammunition walking past.
The stocky man shrank his neck. Quickly take back your feet. Officer Feiyang's cold eyes made his chest feel cold.
There was a lot of noise in the exchange. Countless traders hurriedly came and went in the hall, with calls and quotes. The prompts of the trading system are endless.
As usual, Old Klaus was sitting in his trading seat, drinking tea and looking at the trading information on the computer in front of him.
It is said to be a trading seat, but in fact, it is just a very simple corner in the hall. Two desks and a computer.
In the past, Old Klaus was an agent of the Red Beard Pirates. And now, he is the agent of the entire bandit army. However, this identity. Very few people know. Old Klaus is an old fox. He has been in the trading arena of the free world for so many years. He certainly knows how to maximize profits.
There are bandits who control the substances coming in and out of Mars like a faucet. It is extremely comfortable to hide secretly aside, eat and sell. When bandits want to sell something, they usually rarely issue passes and the market is tight. And if you want to buy, Old Kraus has a lot of traders. Prices can be driven to lows within minutes.
Of course, this kind of trading method, which is almost like a gold finger, is usually not used by Old Klaus.
Firstly, the old fox felt that this did not demonstrate his ability. Secondly, in the words of Fatty Nalelei, if you want to fish, you must first raise fish. It is best to do less of killing the goose to lay eggs.
Not to mention doing less, even if he didn’t do it, Old Klaus felt it didn’t matter. The bandit fleet is originally engaged in no local trading, buying low and selling high to make money, making money from 20% of the pass revenue in the entire free world, plus the free space on the free channel and the profits and transaction taps turned over by the free dock, They are all represented behind the scenes by Old Klaus. Him now. Earn money for the bandits every day. It’s simply astronomical.
Old Klaus lit a cigarette and checked the information on the computer with empty eyes. The prices of the metals needed by several bandit armies. It was close to the buying position, and the sell list hung in the trading system was also 80% completed. Someone just put up three hundred Wolf Warrior mechas manufactured by Tianlun Mecha Company. This kind of mecha has long been on the bandit army's purchase list. It needs to be taken down. By the way, I'll make an appointment with the owner of the goods to see. Let's see if we can order some more goods.
These are all small things. The important thing is that today I have to meet a few businessmen introduced by the handsome deputy commander of the bandit army. Among these businessmen, Old Klaus knew a few of them, all of whom had been working in neutral countries for a long time. The business is very big and they all have some official background. In the past, Old Klaus was not qualified to negotiate business with these people, but now......
After sending a signal to his traders, instructing them to buy three hundred Wolf Warrior mechas, Old Klaus looked at the time. It's past eleven o'clock at noon, and in half an hour, the morning's trading will be over. After making dinner appointments with those businessmen from neutral countries, it was time to set off.
As soon as Klaus stood up, he suddenly noticed that the trading screens on the walls around the trading hall and the display on the computer in front of him were flashing at the same time. After a while, the densely packed product category names and prices disappeared without a trace. The screen suddenly went black.
There was a sudden commotion in the trading floor. Just as everyone was looking around, trying to figure out what went wrong, the screen lit up again, but this time, what appeared on the screen was not commodity transaction information, but a notice!
"From now on, all trading venues that have not been approved by the Mars Front Command of the Fei Alliance will be closed, and all commodity transactions that are not included in the Mars Front's permission list will be stopped. The new exchanges and trading lists will be announced later."
These two short sentences caused an uproar in the entire market. The merchants were all panicked. No one expected that the exchange would be closed down by the Fei League. Before this, there was no warning at all!
Old Klaus stared blankly at the announcement. He knew that tomorrow was the beginning of the genre competition organized by the Mars Front Army. These two heavy blows marked the beginning of Carolina and Cheng Zhixuan's attack on the bandits. They want to completely marginalize the factions that follow the bandit army and control this channel in their hands!
Old Klaus took out his communicator. He needed to tell his immediate boss, Audrey, this news immediately.
However, Old Klaus, who was busy immersed in the operation, did not notice that there was a sudden silence in the trading hall. It wasn't until the communicator in his hand was snatched away that he discovered that at some point, a group of armed Feiyang soldiers, led by a Feiyang lieutenant, stood in front of him.
"Klaus?" The lieutenant picked up the trader's name tag on old Klaus's chest with his hand, looked at it contemptuously, and pulled it off: "You are guilty of illegally manipulating commodity prices, colluding with pirates, and buying and selling strictly controlled materials. Crime. Catch him." As he said this, Lieutenant Feuillant waved his hand, and two Feuillant soldiers tied old Klaus's hands behind his back, one on the left and the other on the right.
"take away!"
