Chapter 205: Murder and Arson Gold Belt
"Senior Randall? Is it really you?"
Cleves himself didn't know what his expression was now.
Looking at his senior at the Naval Academy, who appeared on the main screen, and who passed on the habit of 'pre-war black tea' to him.
He always felt a sense of unreality.
"It's me. I didn't expect to meet you again in this situation, Cleves."
"But I remember your last service unit, wasn't it Robert IV? I thought you..."
"Well, this is a long story."
Randall glanced away unnaturally and sighed. With his current status, it was indeed embarrassing to meet an acquaintance who knew him well.
"Junior, if you want to hear this story, we can have a good chat later."
Randall, who met an old friend in a foreign land, looked at his junior again.
"Now, I still hope you can order surrender first and take all the weapon units offline to avoid unnecessary casualties."
Hearing this, before Cleves could say much, the contact person of Owens and Yaoguang Defense suddenly "woke up".
"You two know each other?!" ×2
"Erandal was indeed my senior when I was studying at the Federal Naval Academy."
Cliffs looked at the two and explained awkwardly.
"Okay! So you colluded with outsiders?! I was wondering why this operation would go wrong!"
Owens glared at Cliffs, and his words made Cliffs' eyes widen.
As a representative of people with bad tempers, the destroyer captain stood up and punched Ornes in the lower abdomen.
"Do you have a serious illness? When something goes wrong, you suspect your own people?"
Although both parties were wearing space suits, Cliffs, who had been exercising for a long time, punched Ornes and made him shrink like a cooked shrimp.
If he hadn't been wearing a seat belt, he would have been beaten all over the bridge by Cliffs.
After punching, Cliffs looked at the contact person of Yaoguang Defense. The guy who wanted to say something immediately shut up.
After venting, Cliffs glanced at the HCP who was "watching" on the deck outside the bridge, and then looked around at the people on the bridge and CIC.
These crew members who have been under his command for a long time are also looking at him.
As a captain who has been with them day and night, Cliffs knows very well what these crew members who are not naval soldiers are thinking at this moment.
After a moment, he looked up at Randall on the main screen and said:
"Senior, I can surrender, but I hope you can guarantee the safety of all our lives."
After hearing this, Randall on the Ares was obviously relieved.
He nodded and said:
"Don't worry, we are not people who kill innocent people indiscriminately. I guarantee this with my personality."
After getting Randall's assurance, Cliffs sat back in the captain's seat and connected the ship-wide broadcast.
"Now the captain is making a full-ship broadcast. Based on the consideration of ensuring the lives of all our crew members, I surrender to our enemies as the captain. I hope that all our crew members will not do anything extreme because of impulse.
You all have your own families, and I hope that you can reunite with your families later.
Please rest assured that the decision to surrender was made by me alone and has nothing to do with you.
All the consequences will be borne by me alone.
The captain has finished speaking."
When the Freedom Radical also surrendered, things became simple.
After all, mercenaries and company employees are not soldiers. They work for money instead of for the country or beliefs.
So after the leader surrendered, the people below had no objections, cooperated very well to disarm and gather together.
The five HCPs floating in the universe were also dragged back one by one by Murat and Louis controlling the body to shoot carbon fiber ropes.
In this conflict that should not have happened, the five HCP pilots dispatched, including the captain of the HCP squadron on the Pale Flag, became the only victims.
But this kind of thing is not something Amber can avoid. HCP fighting in space is inherently very dangerous, and the death rate of pilots is much higher than that of land battles.
So the five surviving HCP pilots on the Pale Flag, how much they hate Amber and his three companions, it is hard to say.
After all, the two sides were in a hostile state at the time, and Amber and his companions shot down their own HCP in a 3-to-5 head-on battle.
There were no dirty tricks or tricks, it was pure strength crushing.
So from another perspective, the remaining five pilots were even very glad that they refused the order to go out at that time.
Otherwise, they would probably become ghosts in space like those five people.
Compared with the employees of Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense who were in a relatively anxious atmosphere, the people on the Atlas side were just like the New Year.
For all the Roma people, whether they were marines or crew members, this was their first actual combat.
As a result, they not only won easily, but also captured two of the opponent's warships directly.
Although this was mainly due to the efforts of Atlas' "veteran employees", this victory still boosted the morale of the guys.
As for Amber, if you say he is happy, then he is definitely happy.
After all, the goal of this trip has been successfully achieved, and he also won a "no-injury victory" in this encounter, and obtained a large number of prisoners and two destroyers.
But if you want to say that he is very happy, in fact, he is not.
First of all, the feud between Atlas and Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense has been established.
Secondly, how to deal with so many prisoners is also a problem.
Finally, there is the problem of two Peregrine-class destroyers.
To be honest, Amber doesn't like this last generation of destroyers at all.
In other words, the current corporate wars are all chickens fighting each other, so this thing still has a place.
In the real battlefield, this kind of ship that is completely backward in design concept and hardware equipment is pure cannon fodder.
So these two ships are destined not to join Atlas's battle sequence.
In Amber's initial plan, it is likely that they will be sold for money, and then the money will be used to expand the mining team.
But no matter what, the gains from this trip are still great, which can be said to be far beyond Amber's imagination.
As the saying goes, killing and arson bring you a golden belt.
This trip also once again confirmed a point of view, that is, in this seemingly civilized and developed era, but in fact backward and barbaric, as long as you have courage, then fighting and plundering can bring you overwhelming wealth.
