Chapter 793 Fraud
During the negotiation process, the fighting actually did not stop. When the negotiations ended, one Hercules 2 and three Hercules 1 had been captured.
In addition, both sides suffered varying degrees of battle losses.
After Lin Jie made the decision to cease fighting, the two fighting parties received orders one after another to begin a ceasefire.
Maple Leaf Mining is still hesitant. The extraordinary mecha knights from the Great Xia Empire have already begun to clean up the battlefield.
There was no captured spaceship, and they exited in an orderly manner.
Although he did not lose his vigilance, his movements were clean and neat.
No matter how resentful Maple Leaf Mining is, it will not fall out with them at close range.
As for the bombardment after opening a distance, three Ark-class battleships were already approaching and were picking up the returning knights one after another.
The retreat took even longer than the battle.
It was not until the batches were evacuated that Ark 009 went out alone to prepare for the handover with Maple Leaf Mining.
Lin Jie can still do what he decides.
He took a ferry ship and came to Ark 009.
There is no extra paint on the battleship, but its huge size still makes many hatches very conspicuous.
This is a structure that the Blue Star Federation’s spacecraft does not have because there is no similar functional requirement.
"This should be a passage designed for that kind of mecha to ensure the efficiency of entry and exit." Old Xu reminded in a low voice again.
Lin Jie thought so too. In fact, every civilized warship will have some special adaptive changes, and there is no such thing as being static.
There is nothing much to say. At most, they just take a second look and sigh a few words. When they entered the interior of Ark 009, they did not hide their curiosity and showed their thirst for knowledge openly.
At the berth, two rows of mecha knights stood, led by two Archangels, which were full of oppression.
Maple Leaf Mining is not without powerful weapons, but from a close-range experience, the mecha knight has the most oppressive force.
The body shape is similar to the human body, the extraordinary performance on the battlefield, and the threat of being shot at close range at any time, make everyone in Maple Leaf Mining unable to help but feel panic.
How could such a big killer be so small?
Of course, now is not the time to dwell on these issues.
Lin Jie saw members of the Daxia Empire. This was the first time he had close contact with members of this country.
He didn't think too much about Michelle who was surrounded by everyone.
Age has never been a problem, Maple Leaf Mining also has young people.
What really surprised him was that the young man opposite spoke Federalese with a local accent.
"Mr. Lin Jie from Maple Leaf Mining, welcome to the Great Xia Empire."
There is no doubt that the battleship is equivalent to the land of Daxia.
It’s not surprising that Michelle can speak the language of the Blue Star Federation. Not to mention that he is a second-generation religious person and has had the experience of learning the ancient sacred language since he was a child.
There are a lot of audio data left by that fake god.
For Michelle, it would be easy to spend a little time learning an alien language.
The concept of Protestantism is to be the vanguard of empire development, so this is called being prepared.
But for Lin Jie, this was a shock.
Even though someone had warned him in advance, he still felt like his head was buzzing when he thought that the Great Xia Empire was the enemy left by his ancestors. Was this considered a trick for future generations?
Lin Jie made up his mind that he would never admit his relationship with these blood relatives from thousands of years ago.
Because of surprise, Lin Jie's reaction was half a beat slower. It was only after the wise man's eyes indicated that he remembered that he had not replied yet.
"I am Lin Jie, the executive director of Maple Leaf Mining from the Blue Star Federation. I am very sorry for accidentally entering the star domain of the Daxia Empire and triggering a series of conflicts. We are deeply sorry and willing to make some compensation. I hope it will not affect our relationship."
Lin Jie finished speaking in one breath, regardless of exposing his own weakness.
He knows that there is little point in pretending to be fat. In the face of a civilization, being petty is contempt for the wisdom of the entire civilization.
On the contrary, conspiracy is better than conspiracy.
This is the basis of communication between the two civilizations, and the conspiracy is just an embellishment.
Michelle was also surprised by the other party's frankness.
When the reception task was entrusted to him, the issue of identity was naturally taken into consideration.
Therefore, he does not need to consider these positions and is only responsible for reception.
"Mr. Lin Jie, I will relay your words to Count Simon. I am only responsible for accompanying you on your journey in the empire."
Only then did Lin Jie realize that the young man in front of him was not just a captain, otherwise he would not have been assigned to accompany him throughout the journey.
"May I ask your name?" he asked tentatively.
Only then did Michelle realize that she hadn’t reported her name yet.
"Michelle St. Augusta, Earl of the Empire." After Michelle announced his name, he continued meaningfully: "I think there will be many opportunities for us to interact."
Lin Jie kept this name in mind. It seemed like the naming habit of those white people. He naturally heard the implication, so he replied: "I really want to deal with a gentleman."
Regardless of whether it is malicious or well-intentioned, breaking the ice is the most important thing in this situation.
The first direct contact between the two parties was obviously quite pleasant.
In accordance with the order received, Michelle will take Lin Jie to the lunar space port.
Therefore, the two still have a lot of time to communicate.
By the time he arrived at the battleship's reception room, Lin Jie had already tentatively asked a lot of questions.
For example, the organizational structure, territory, and various military strengths of the Great Xia Empire.
Michelle just dealt with these vaguely.
He knew what to do without being reminded.
"The space port is under the jurisdiction of Earl Simon. Because he found the remains of the spacecraft, he was ordered to build a new space port here."
Michelle did not mention that the capital of the Great Xia Empire was on a nearby planet, so Lin Jie and others had a misunderstanding that the coordinates left by the ancestors were not the core territory of the Great Xia Empire.
At least, Earl Simon built a space city for the remains, not for the primary expansion of civilization.
Lin Jie whispered with the think tank for a while, and then said frankly: "Earl Michel, I think you should have guessed that this spacecraft should come from our Blue Star Federation. I accidentally got some clues left by my predecessors, so I appeared here."
Signal? What signal?
Lin Jie firmly refused to admit that he had received a signal, and he was not familiar with those people.
Honesty is honest, but you can't really fall into the trap.
Michelle was a little surprised. This is different from what the empire speculated!
After discovering that Fernandez I launched the spacecraft, he immediately encountered the alien fleet. No one dared to believe that there was no connection between the two.
However, seeing that Lin Jie was so frank, he would not lie about such an insignificant matter.
Ignoring this small doubt, Michelle continued to talk to him.
Lin Jie was very frank about some things that could not be concealed, including the entrance and exit of the interstellar channel and its details, as well as Maple Leaf Mining's willingness to cooperate.
