Chapter 135: Reaching a Tacit Understanding with the Military

Turning on the voice call system, Duan Ming dialed the number of Captain Fang Lindenwan.

"Duan Ming? Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Captain, you also know that our Duan family moved to a new mining area a few days ago. No, a rare metal was just discovered in the mining area yesterday. It seems to be the kind that the military and the government wanted to purchase some time ago. I wonder if you have time to come?"

Captain Lin Dengwan on the other side of the call was stunned. When did the military and the military want to acquire rare metals?

"By the way, I heard that this rare metal is related to the Earth Alliance. Why don't you inform Middle School and Colonel Gu Li?"

Hearing Duan Ming mention the Ground Alliance, Captain Lin Dengwan reacted.

"Okay, I will report your news to Middle School and Colonel Gu Li."

"Then please excuse me, Captain. I'll wait for good news."

After hanging up the call, Duan Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He believed that the bait he threw out would definitely catch a big fish!

…

At the military and military headquarters, Lin Dengwan hung up the call and immediately found Colonel Gu Li. He was in the conference room on the top floor of the headquarters, reporting the situation in the seventh domain to the person in charge sent by the Ground Alliance.

Seeing Lin Dengwan arrive, Colonel Gu Lizhong asked: "Captain, what's the matter?"

Captain Lin Dengwan looked at the Dilian people and looked a little hesitant. Then Colonel Gu Lizhong spoke again.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders."

Gu Lizhong and the school both said so, so naturally Lin Dengwan no longer concealed it.

"Duan Ming, the head of the Duan family, just made a voice call to me. He said that the Duan family discovered the rare metal that our army was looking for and asked if we were interested."

Hearing what Lin Dengwan said, the person in charge of the Dilian League frowned.

"Do you still have trade relations with the Duan family?"

The tone was condescending and clearly meant to be questioning.

Gu Lizhong and Colonel smiled: "The special envoy misunderstood. We have been developing a new type of weapon recently, and we happen to lack a rare metal. This is why we issued a search notice to let the pioneers of the seventh domain pay more attention. This is also In order to complete the mission assigned by Dilian!”

After saying that, Gu Lizhong and Xiao stood up and handed the information about the Duan family to the special envoy of the Dilian.

"You take a look for yourself first, and I'll take care of it."

After walking out of the conference room, Colonel Gu Lizhong pulled Lin Dengwan aside.

"Go to the Duan family in person and find out what Duan Ming is doing."

Lin Dengwan nodded in agreement, turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Gu Lizhong and the principal.

"Remember, as long as it is conducive to the development of our Seventh Domain Army and Fang, we are friends, regardless of the other party's identity!"

…

That night, the military and military warships arrived at the area where the Fire Rock Beast was located and landed at the take-off and landing base on the Fire Rock Beast.

The battleship hatch opened and Captain Lin Dengwan walked out. Duan Ming was already waiting outside.

"Captain, thank you for your hard work."

After returning to the villa in a bonus car, Duan Ming and Captain Lin Dengwan entered the villa.

"Tell me, why did you ask me to come here?"

Judging from Lin Dengwan's attitude, Duan Ming roughly guessed what Gu Lizhong and the principal meant, and he also had a certain degree of confidence in his heart.

"Captain, before we get down to business, I have a question to ask the captain."

"Just ask."

"I wonder what direction the captain thinks our seventh domain should develop in the future?"

Duan Ming's question really made it difficult for Lin Dengwan to answer. After hesitating for a long time, Lin Dengwan finally answered.

"Naturally, we need to allow the Seventh Domain to create a star port-level development base as soon as possible, so that the Seventh Domain can have the same say as the other six star domains."

Duan Ming nodded.

"Captain, we really want to go together. I wonder if Captain thinks it is possible for the Star Beast Base of our Duan family to become the first star port in the seventh domain?"

Hearing Duan Ming's question, Captain Lin Dengwan frowned: "Master Duan, if you have anything to say, just say it. Since I can come today, I just hope we can have a frank talk."

Duan Ming stood up and walked to sit down next to Captain Lin Dengwan. During negotiations, sitting in such adjacent positions could reduce the hostility between them.

"Captain, you also know that the current competition between our Duan family and the Yishen Star is, in the final analysis, only an internal matter within the Seventh Domain. No matter who loses or wins, it will only benefit the Seventh Domain. The Earth Alliance sent people to the Seventh Domain I also know a little bit about the purpose, so I’ll tell the truth.”

Speaking of this, Duan Ming paused and lowered his voice slightly.

"If the Dilian wants to rely on Jun and Fang to get rid of my Duan family, it is equivalent to letting Jun and Fang cut off their own arms. Our Duan family is willing to help Jun and Fang solve this problem!"

As he spoke, Duan Ming raised his palm and drew it on his neck, making a "kill" gesture.

Captain Lin Dengwan was startled and said subconsciously: "Kill the special envoy of the Earth Alliance? Are you crazy!"

Duan Ming raised his hand and put it on Lin Dengwan's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

"Captain, Colonel Gu Lizhong asked you to come here this time, which represents his attitude. This matter is completely handled by our Duan family. The army and the party only need to watch from the sidelines and pretend not to know."

"If the Earth Alliance sends a special envoy, if our Duan family is really destroyed, can we return to Earth with peace of mind? As far as I know, the Earth Alliance has long wanted to intervene in the military and parties in various star regions. Right now, our Duan family and you Jun and Fang, their lips are dead and their teeth are cold!”

Captain Lindenwan slowly lowered his head and began to think.

"The captain once said that the military and the party are the military and the party of the seventh domain, and the Duan family is the Duan family of the seventh domain. They are close relatives, and the captain should know this."

After a long silence, Lin Dengwan looked at Duan Ming again: "I need to go back and discuss this matter with the colonel."

Duan Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"It should be. Please ask the captain to tell Colonel Gu Li a message for me. The choice between the head of the chicken and the tail of the phoenix is ​​entirely up to the colonel!"

...

After Lin Dengwan returned to the military and the party headquarters, he relayed Duan Ming's words to Colonel Gu Li word for word.

"The head of the chicken? The tail of the phoenix? Duan Ming is hinting that even if I am promoted to the headquarters of the ground alliance, I will be controlled by others everywhere!"

"Colonel, how should we reply to Duan Ming?"

Colonel Gu Li was silent for a long time and made a decision.

"Tell Duan Ming that the military will not do anything at the meeting three days later. As for what he is going to do, the military has no idea."

Liang Dengwan was puzzled by Gu Lizhong's vague words. Just when he wanted to ask, Gu Lizhong said, "Tell Duan Ming the number of fleets accompanying the ground alliance this time."

Early in the morning of the second day, Duan Ming received a message from Captain Lin Dengwan.

With a slight smile on his lips, Duan Ming looked at the building that was being built, and muttered to himself, "As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Who is the fisherman?"
