Chapter 1358 Colonel Harris
After leaving the White Feather 2 planet, under the urging of Sean, the group continued to move towards the next exploration target.
In fact, at this time, Sean was already very close to his final destination.
According to the original plan, after investigating two more locations, they would be able to reach the Mihaqi F Logistics Base located outside the Cybertron star field.
That was also the location where the Decepticons and other intelligent robots could pick up Sean. 🅆
The warning in his heart forced Sean to change his plan.
He changed the route of the spacecraft and set the destination to the Mihaqi F Logistics Base. He said to Jeramy, who was confused, "I suddenly found that this way can save a lot of distance, and I am very interested in the military's damaged intelligent robots sold by that logistics base."
"Really? It seems that it does save a little distance."
"But didn't you tell me before that you wanted to visit many places in the Federation?" Jeramy said.
"I have visited many star fields, and now I want to do some serious work." Sean replied.
Jeramy didn't say much about this. He knew that Sean had always been interested in the robots of the Gallente Federation. Including the cooperation projects he had investigated in recent years, almost all of them were related to robots, and did not involve the fields of warships, airships or individual weapons manufacturing.
...
The general manager of the Mihaqi F Logistics Base is a federal colonel named Harris.
However, the one who really negotiated business with Sean and others was a young lieutenant colonel in the quartermaster department.
The military is undoubtedly a behemoth in the Gallente Federation.
They have their own companies in the business world and their own spokespersons in the political world.
When the wizard civilization and the Gallente Federation are at war, the main force they will face on the front line is the power of the federal military.
However, in this world, if some people develop well, naturally there will be others who are not so happy.
For example, Colonel Harris of the Mihaqi F Logistics Base, his life is not very good.
Since he failed in the competition for the title of Major General 700 years ago, Colonel Harris' bad luck has been coming one after another.
No matter where people develop, it is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
If you lose one step, you will fall behind step by step!
The competitor who defeated Colonel Harris is said to be in high spirits in recent years.
Not only did he successfully receive genetic medicine enhancement and obtain the enviable fourth-level life level.
He is also a rising star of the Federation in the surrounding star military region, and is highly valued by military leaders.
On the other hand, Colonel Harris, after changing several positions in succession, is now in a dilemma to guard the logistics base, and it is still an ordinary base that does not attract much attention. Even the usual funds are tight, and Colonel Harris has to find a way himself.
His rival, now I don't know which fleet he is leading, and he is sailing in the star sea with high spirits.
Whenever he thought of this, Colonel Harris felt a little angry.
However, the easiest thing to smooth out with time is the edges of a person.
Colonel Harris is already quite old.
With the help of the military's genetic drugs, he can still live for about a thousand years, but he should also make some plans for his life after retirement.
Including the soldiers under his command, he also has to seek some benefits for them.
Mihaqi F Logistics Base does not have its own military-industrial enterprises, and no politician will be bored and allocate funds to them.
In addition to daily military expenses, if Colonel Harris wants to live a better life in his later years and make his soldiers more supportive of him, he must think of some "side jobs".
Fortunately, Mihaqi F Logistics Base is closest to the largest militarized robot production star field in the Federation. Every few months, a large number of robots will arrive at Mihaqi F Logistics Base as a transit, and then be transported from here to other regions of the Federation.
In this transit process, there will inevitably be a small number of robots that are damaged or the product quality is unqualified.
Which robots have been worn out, and which robots are not up to standard?
Colonel Harris did not dare to do anything too blatant, but some small tricks were harmless.
Every few months, the total number of robots transferred from the Mihaqi F Logistics Base is in the hundreds of thousands.
This base is very small and inconspicuous. Colonel Harris only needs to move his fingers with his subordinates a little bit, and don't be too ugly, and the federal inspectors will turn a blind eye.
This situation is not only happening in the Mihaqi F Logistics Base, but similar things are happening in almost all federal military circles.
As an old-timer who has been in the army since graduating from the Federal Military Academy and has a resume of nearly two thousand years, Colonel Harris is naturally very clear about all the ins and outs.
It is said that the people who came to the base to discuss business this time are members of the Dodge family.
Although Colonel Harris did not show up himself, he was still more concerned about this matter.
The Dodge family is a big family, which is not what Colonel Harris can imagine.
Although he was just an ordinary member of the Dodge family, if he could really negotiate a deal, it would be a considerable income for Colonel Harris.
Harris was still a little ambitious, or rather, he was unwilling to give up.
General officers were a watershed in the Gallente Federation, and this was considered entering the upper echelons of the Gallente Federation military.
Not to mention generals, colonel officers were not ordinary positions in the Gallente Federation, and most people in this world were still soldiers.
The federal military will provide free genetic modification to all major generals and above, helping them to have a fourth-level life and enjoy more than ten thousand years.
And the war fleets or interstellar fortresses commanded by the major generals of the federal military can definitely be on par with creatures above the fourth level in terms of the level of interstellar combat power!
Even with the large-scale movement of the fleet and the mutual cooperation between different types of ships, the overall strength is greater than that of a single creature above the fourth level!
On this road of the military, Colonel Harris has almost reached the end, at least he thinks so.
Although the federal military will also provide genetic modification benefits to some colonels and even colonels with great potential.
But that must be the special operations corps, and Colonel Harris does not think that he, who guards the logistics base, will have this opportunity.
Since this road of the military is not feasible, Harris naturally has to consider other areas.
The cost of the fourth-level genetic modification of 100 billion federal coins... Whenever Colonel Harris thinks of this number, the corners of his mouth twitch a little.
Can he save so much money?
When the lieutenant colonel of the quartermaster department finally finished the contact with the Dodge family, Colonel Harris couldn't wait to call his subordinates to inquire about the situation.
The negotiation results were not optimistic. The other party thought that the robot model brought by Colonel Harris and others was too backward and the price was too high.
"The young man from the Dodge family should have just come to inspect and did not immediately express his willingness to cooperate with us."
"But I left my contact information to the other party and hinted that the price could be negotiated." The lieutenant colonel wearing gold-rimmed glasses said, adjusting his glasses frame.
