Chapter 519: Shocking Change

In the following days, Davis conducted a long negotiation on behalf of the federal government and the autonomous government of the Rubion Galaxy.

Moreover, through the secret line connected to the autonomous government, he directly negotiated with the chief executive Alex and others hiding in deep space.

It must be said that Brandon and Miller sent Davis out for a certain reason. Although he is the Secretary of State, Davis is very good at negotiation and has unlimited energy after entering the state.

With the help of the potion he took every day when he got up, Davis was "confronting" the autonomous government of the galaxy on his own.

Although the progress of this negotiation was out of Davis's initial expectations, he must have had a lot of contingency plans as he was fully prepared, and the current situation happened to be one of the contingency plans.

Brandon, Miller and others naturally knew that the negotiations with the autonomous government of the Rubion Galaxy could not be so smooth, and it was very likely to fall into a stalemate.

So Brandon still left some conditions for Davis to give in, so that he could use these conditions in the negotiations to achieve the final goal.

Whether it is the federal government or the autonomous government of the Rubion galaxy, they actually have their own weaknesses and goals at present.

The former hopes to quell the "rebellion" in the Rubion galaxy and prevent the chaos within the federation from getting worse. At the same time, it also hopes to re-establish its prestige in the process, and it is best to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the autonomous government.

The latter needs the support of the federal government to widen the gap between itself and the rebels to prevent itself from being overthrown by the growing rebels in the galaxy, especially the Renaissance Alliance supported by Atlas.

It can be said that both sides have their own conditions to restrict each other, which has also led to extremely slow progress in the negotiations between Davis and the autonomous government.

But this situation soon ushered in a turnaround.

After the Renaissance Alliance completed the equipment reception, training and troop reorganization during this period, it also launched a "winter offensive" to the north, pointing directly at the control area of ​​the galaxy autonomous government on Rubion V.

At the same time, the autonomous government also discovered through limited satellite reconnaissance that a troop of the Renaissance Alliance had completed a secret sea crossing and landed on another continent.

This continent is also under the control of the Autonomous Government, and another space elevator, 'Heavenly Pillar I', standing on the equator, is also the most important space hub besides the several space ports controlled by the Autonomous Government.

Once this place is lost, the materials and equipment transported from other planets and industrial colony satellites can only be transferred through space transport aircraft, and the efficiency of material transportation will be greatly reduced.

More importantly, the star port connected to the top of the space elevator is currently the largest military star port controlled by the Autonomous Government, and it is also the most important mooring area for the garrison fleet near Rubion V.

Although the troops of the Renaissance Alliance may not be able to launch an attack on the star port through the orbital elevator for the time being, according to the secret intelligence obtained by the Autonomous Government, the Renaissance Alliance is training HCP pilots, combat boat pilots and hell paratroopers with the help of the Atlas Group

The former two have the ability to independently fight in outer orbits. As long as the Renaissance Alliance gets a few combat barges to release HCP and combat boats below the horizon of the planet, these small units can directly approach the star port with the cover of the wreckage in orbit.

The Hell Paratroopers are not just light infantry units deployed to the ground. Their predecessors also have another name - Orbital Commandos.

As the name implies, they are also proficient in intrusion operations against starports, space stations, and colony satellites, which means that the opponent can completely threaten the starport with huge casualties.

If the Atlas combat fleet appears near the planet again at this time, the garrison fleet must choose between "protecting the satellite port" and "saving itself".

If they choose to protect the satellite port, they may be able to prevent the Renaissance Alliance from attacking the starport, but the fleet will also be "tied" near the starport. Once the Atlas Group really intends to take a military adventure, these warships with limited maneuvering range will become targets on the orbit.

Although the above are the worst guesses made by the autonomous government based on the current situation, they cannot help but think so because it is directly related to their "end".

No one knows what the actual controller of the Atlas Group thinks. It is not difficult to see from the previous conflicts between Atlas and the Federation that this is a very courageous person who does not play by the rules.

Therefore, including Alex, the senior officials of the autonomous government did not dare to bet their future on the Atlas Group not to end directly.

Davis, on the other hand, calmed down after receiving the relevant information, because he knew that the sudden downturn on the planet could be said to have helped the federal government a lot, and the other party had to make a decision under such a somewhat urgent situation.

——

"So what have Mr. Alex and everyone in the autonomous government considered?"

After the last round of negotiations began, Davis smiled as he looked at Alex and others projected by the holographic projection equipment in the conference room.

Today is his last day on Rubion V. No matter what the final outcome is, he will leave after this negotiation.

Because in his opinion, when the Renaissance Alliance launched a new round of offensives, it was not himself who was most anxious.

The federal government did not come to ask for help, but the Rubion Autonomous Government had something to ask of the federal government, so if the other party could not respond, he would not stay here forever.

However, Davis had a vague hunch that today's negotiations might get the result he wanted.

"Mr. Secretary of State, the conditions you proposed in the last round of negotiations were really harsh." Chief Executive Alex sighed, and then continued:

"And you also know that the situation on Lubion 5 has deteriorated. Even if we agree to put forward your conditions, it does not seem to be able to alleviate the current situation."

"Who said it can't be alleviated?" Davis said slowly, "There is no need to hide it from you at this time. The 17th and 18th fleets of the Federation Navy are currently on standby three standard jump distances away."

As soon as his words came out, Alex and others were stunned. Their expressions were like thirsty travelers in the desert who saw a clear spring.

Their expressions were naturally what Davis expected. If the conditions that Brandon granted him to make concessions were bargaining chips, then these two fleets were his biggest trump cards.

After admiring everyone's expressions for a while, Davis also smiled and continued:

"If you all agree to the conditions I proposed before, then the Lubion system will be supported by two fully-equipped main fleets in three days."

——

20 minutes later, in the convoy heading to the Skyport outside Breske City.

After watching the motorcade drive out of the city, Davis contacted Brandon in the capital through an encrypted communication terminal.

"Mr. President, they finally accepted Plan H. Although we suffered a certain loss compared to the best result, I personally think it is still acceptable.

In a sense, the sudden large-scale offensive launched by the Renaissance Alliance helped us, but I suggest that the seventeenth and eighteenth fleets should be allowed to enter the Rubian system as soon as possible to prevent the Atlas Group from carrying out military operations. adventure.

Yes, there has been in-depth cooperation between Atlas Group and the Renaissance Alliance, so it is very likely that they will cooperate with the Renaissance Alliance to carry out operations."

After Davis ended his call with President Brandon, the convoy drove directly to a large mass accelerator at the space port. The space plane used to transport Davis and other accompanying personnel had been prepared and parked at the to the end of the acceleration track.

Soon, the delegation from the federal government also completed boarding, and the aerospace plane would also send them into space and dock with a long-distance penetration reconnaissance ship belonging to the 18th Fleet parked in orbit.

The mass accelerator, which had completed all preparations in advance, began to power on shortly after everyone completed boarding, and the Skyport Tower also approved the ejection request of this special plane.

"Attention TJ-1121, this is the tower, the mass catapult has completed ejection preparation, and the ejection countdown is 1 minute."

"TJ-1121 received. It has completed flight and is waiting for ejection. Thank you for the guidance~"

"The target is ready to eject. Move faster!"

On an air defense position near the Skyport, near an air defense vehicle covered with anti-infrared and anti-radiation camouflage nets, five 'government army' soldiers were throwing several bodies pulled out of the air defense vehicle on the ground.

After leaving two people on guard outside, the remaining three people immediately got into the air defense vehicle and used the terminal pulled off the body to gain permission to switch the 'auto alert mode' of the air defense vehicle to 'manual mode'.

"The Identification Friend or Foe unit has been shut down!"

"The current atmospheric data has been updated, and the high-energy laser killing efficiency is 82%!"

"It's enough to lock the target, enter the mass accelerator parameters, and calculate the continuous tracking advance"

"OK system has completed calculation!"

As the three people operated, the heavy-duty high-energy laser turret mounted on the anti-aircraft vehicle also began to rotate, and finally pointed at a 'virtual extension line' of the mass accelerator orbit.

But at this moment, the communication unit in the car suddenly rang. The leader of the three glanced at the screen. It was a communication request from the command vehicle of the air defense battalion.

The leader quickly clicked on the screen, and the communication unit switched to silent mode.

This behavior of not accepting communication requests, coupled with the sudden adjustment of the angle of the fort, naturally aroused alertness on the command vehicle side.

The two soldiers on guard outside quickly noticed each other's movements.

"Captain, there is a Mongoose coming this way, 600 meters away. It should be someone from the infantry platoon assigned to this air defense battalion."

"It's okay, our goal will be achieved soon."

The soldier called the captain had a fanatical look on his face, and the other two soldiers in the car were breathing heavily.

"400 meters away!"

"300 meters away!"

"Distance is 200 meters! The opponent has put down their infantry and formed a battle formation! Get ready for battle!"

As soon as the warning soldier outside the vehicle finished speaking, the huge mass accelerator in the distance finally released the stored energy.

Under huge acceleration, the aerospace plane carrying the federal government delegation rushed out of the end of the arc-shaped acceleration orbit in the blink of an eye and soared straight into the sky.

The next second, a red beam of light suddenly illuminated the aerospace plane, and melted the outer structure of the aerospace plane under the continuous tracking and illumination for several seconds.

"boom!"

In the eyes of all the witnesses who could not believe it, the aerospace plane disintegrated and exploded in the air, and eventually turned into several fireballs and fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.
