Chapter 158, The Eve of Star Wars
With three thousand gifts in his hand, Gu Hang felt the annoyance of suddenly getting rich.
However, calm down and think about it, although there are a lot of gift points, there are also many places waiting to spend money.
If he really wanted to follow his thinking, I'm afraid he would only listen to a few splashes if he threw all three thousand gifts.
For example, in the gene seed exchange of the space warriors, all the [-] gifts in his hand were thrown away, and only [-] seeds came out.
If it is made hard, it will not stand up to it.
Still have to plan well.
Making money is important, but how to spend it is also a matter of knowledge.
But there is no need to rush this matter for the time being, the gift points have already been obtained, and they will never fly.He still has a lot of time to arrange well.
He turned his attention to the 'important information' that could be activated in the [event] panel.
What will it be?
With a thought, click on the information.
When he really saw the news, a cold sweat broke out from his head.
He has only one thought now: fortunately, he got this [incident] resolved, and he solved it fairly quickly, otherwise, if he misses this piece of information, something big will happen.
[Gorgon, the elder and master craftsman of this green-skinned orc tribe, once made a cosmic communicator when the tribe was strong, and sent it to his former mother clan, the space green-skinned orc clan-the Iron Tooth clan, A communication request was issued.During the communication, the location and cosmic coordinates of Star Fury were mentioned, and the main team of the Iron Tooth Clan was invited to come. ]
[After sending the message, there has been no reply, and Gorgon has forgotten about it.But in fact, his message was sent successfully, but he forgot to make the receiving part when making the communicator.A pirate plundering fleet of the Irontooth Clan has received the news and is heading towards Fury Owl. ]
[In the near future, the tenth plundering fleet of the Iron Tooth Clan will pass through the Astral Tunnel and arrive at the transition point of the Furious Owl galaxy. ]
[Coincidentally, there is a merchant fleet of an imperial caravan, which will also cross the astral tunnel and arrive at the transition point at about the same time. ]
...
Gu Hang didn't even dare to think about what would happen if he didn't get this information!
The caravan was invited by him.
The Imperial Chamber of Commerce is one of the official organizations of the Empire.If you want to form a merchant fleet that can sail in the boundless territory of the empire, you must get the approval of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and register as a merchant.Otherwise, it is very likely to be treated as a pirate.
But fortunately, the procedures for registering as an imperial merchant are not complicated, and the threshold is not too high.If the identity is clear, the goods transported each time are clear, and if necessary, accept the tasks issued by the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, that's fine.
Of course, a spaceship that can support travel through the astral tunnels is indispensable.
When registering as an imperial merchant, the first and third items are generally stricter. As for the second item, that is, the goods... it is reasonable to say that the requirements are also very strict.But this kind of thing sometimes depends on its own ability.
And those who can do business with the imperial merchants also need permission.Generally speaking, the one with this kind of permission is the planetary governor.
In fact, as the governor of Star Fury, one of Gu Hang's powers is to make deals with the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.
The output of Fury Owl Star is very limited, but it needs important commodities from other imperial worlds, and there is a huge profit margin among them.The trade quota in the middle is controlled by the planetary governor, which is the basis for the past governors to find ways to gain power when they did not have the support of cruisers and could not bring much manpower.
Of course, now Gu Hang doesn't need to gain power in that way.However, it was different when I first arrived.
A month ago, he actively contacted the Imperial Chamber of Commerce through Yelicia, hoping that a group of merchants could adjust the route, pass by the Nuoxiao galaxy, and conduct some transactions by the way.
This is actually a bit difficult, the size of Fu Xiaoxing is too small, and the past transaction records... are a bit shabby.
But what if Gu Hang is a member of the Gu family?In this regard, his family status still played a certain role.
The merchant who came was named Wang Jiarong, and he was Gu Hang's cousin.
In addition to the regular trade items, her ship also carried two things that Gu Hang specially ordered that she cared about, both of which were related to the space warriors.
Space Marine Power Armor, and biological equipment required for gene-seed implantation surgery.
Whether it's for the trade opportunity he finally got this time, or for the products he specially customized on the ship, or for the smiling cousin in his memory who has a good relationship with his predecessor, he has to find a way to save that one. Caravan.
What's more, the "Tenth Pirate Raiding Fleet of the Irontooth Clan" mentioned in the information is aimed at the Fury Owl itself, not when they may conflict with the Imperial Merchant Caravan , to get it done in one fell swoop, should they wait until they have finished the robbery before doing it?
With the ability of green leather technology, even if the ships of the imperial caravan are turned into waste, the waste floating in the universe can be collected by them and used as materials.Not to mention, the various goods loaded in the caravan.
As for how to deal with the green-skinned pirates mentioned in the information... there must be no such ability on Fury Owl Star.It is estimated that there is no means of orbital defense on the entire planet, and it is impossible to find a single starship, let alone take the initiative to attack.
But isn't there a 'Quintet' floating in the orbit of the planet?
A serious cruiser of the Imperial Navy!
...
Gu Hang contacted Yelicia almost immediately.
When the female captain heard the news that a group of green-skinned pirates was approaching, instead of being dignified and panicked, she felt excited.
In the sky, responding to the Governor's request, and carrying out orbital strikes on the ground... Although this can be regarded as a feat of the navy, it is not as good as fighting a naval battle, annihilating a green leather fleet, and saving a business group of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. Incomparable.
The latter is the opportunity that Commodore General Yelicia dreamed of more, and it is the true merit of the Navy.
However, Yelicia was not dazzled by the news.
"What's the source? Is it accurate?"
"I can ensure the accuracy." Gu Hang said, "During the battle on the surface, I captured a cosmic signal transceiver and clearly mentioned this matter. But there is no guarantee when the green-skinned pirate fleet will arrive ."
Yelicia asked again: "Can you know the size of that fleet?"
Gu Hang smiled wryly and shook his head: "This is where the risk lies. I can only tell you that that fleet should be 'Irontooth Clan, Tenth Raiding Fleet', specifically how many ships it has and what is the size of the capital ship . . . I have no idea."
"Then it will be a headache." Yelicia said, "I only have one ship. If there are many and strong green skins coming, ambushing them will be a trap for myself."
"Yes." Gu Hang agreed, "So, is there a way to get support? We need more ships. Is it possible to call the Tianma space fleet and send more support?"
"You don't need to say that I will do the same. However, we must also prepare for the worst: what if it is too late?"
At this time, Yelicia's mind was very clear.
She longs for merit, longs to destroy the enemy's ships in a mighty naval battle, gain glory, and wash away the impression that she is regarded as a relationship.
But at the same time, as a person who has achieved excellent results all the way in the training of naval officers, she is not a fool.She is not cynical, she clearly understands that her life experience is not a burden, but a great help.As long as she continues to follow the steps like this, whether it is now or in the future, she is one of the top people in the Tianma Star District, at least a candidate.
Victory, of course, is important.But if the risk and cost of gaining military exploits are too high, then the gains outweigh the losses.
If this naval battle was just lost, or just ruined Nu Xiaoxing, then it might be okay, she just bore the shame of being defeated or fleeing without a fight, and she will have a chance to wash it off in the future.But if she fights recklessly and destroys the main cruiser 'Quintet'...
It is considered a one-hundredth of death to die in the ship. Even if she survives, she will never have a chance to turn around in the future, and it will bring huge disaster to her family.
With such a high price, she couldn't help but be careless.
Gu Hang understands this.
He pondered for a moment and said: "We are not fighting alone. The imperial merchant fleet that came to Fury Owl was led by my cousin. As far as I know, besides a main armed merchant ship, she also has There are two frigates. We can ambush near the transition point, and if the greenskin fleet meets the merchant fleet, we can choose to join or not to join in the battle depending on the situation."
By doing this, Gu Hang is suspected of selling his cousin.
But in fact, otherwise, there was no way to persuade Yelicia to take the risk to participate in this battle.
"It's feasible." Yelicia said, "But I have to say the ugly things up front. There is no specific size for a green-skinned pirate plundering the fleet. If the situation is not right, I will immediately choose to evacuate and avoid the edge."
"I see."
Speaking of this, Gu Hang's heart is quite heavy.
"You don't have to worry too much. Even if that happens, you try to resist on the surface of the planet. When I gather the main force of the Star Fleet, I will rush to support it as soon as possible. As long as you hold on, there is no hope of."
"Ah."
Hearing this, what else can Gu Hang say?
I can only nod my head.
If the greenskins came so many and fiercely that even a main cruiser like the 'Quintet' would have to run away first, the Fury Owl Star would definitely be finished.
Just hope that doesn't happen.
...
After talking with Yelicia, Gu Hang led the troops, left the ruins of the high tower, returned to the base camp outside Trash Town, and then did not leave for a while.
He wants to reorganize the troops here a little bit.
The 1th Garrison Division was basically dismantled, leaving only a frame, and the officers were basically kept, but the soldiers were dismantled into the 2st Brigade, 3nd Division, and [-]rd Independent Regiment.
These two brigade-level units—the Xifeng brigade has only three battalions—have a total strength of more than 2 troops, and all equipment, ammunition, and the like are all prioritized.
Moreover, Gu Hang also gave the three synthetic battalions of the first brigade and the fully staffed second division, a total of more than 3000 troops, all of them received additional training from the "Beast Slaughter Squad".
The [-] troops will then take the transport spacecraft that flew down from the Quintet and enter the starship.
This is the support Yelicia requested, and Gu Hang also agreed.
Although... it is possible to encounter an enemy that is too strong, the female brigade general may run away with his elite troops.However, Gu Hang never hoped to carry out resistance operations independently on the planet after the 'Quintet' ran away.
That is unrealistic.
Instead, he boarded the boat himself.
He has two thoughts:
First, if the enemy is relatively strong and Yelicia retreats, he will try hard to persuade that lady to join the battle.If necessary, the [-] soldiers he boarded the ship, and the four phoenixes he urgently recruited would be the capital for him to persuade Yelicia.
Second, if the enemy is really so strong that it is impossible to fight, then... my life is of the utmost importance. Let's run with Yelicia, and fight back when the main fleet of the star area is assembled.
But if it really falls into the second end, it not only means that Gu Hang's efforts for a long time in the past are completely in vain, and there may not be a chance to start all over again.
A planetary governor who ran away with the Imperial Navy before the planet fell had huge political costs.At that time, he might still die in court.
Therefore, Gu Hang would not want to go to the second step anyway, he needs to solve the matter at the first step.
...
A few days later, the first transition point of the Nuxiao galaxy.
Under the flashing blue light, four ships suddenly appeared from the void.
Among these four ships, the largest one is about one-third the size of the 'Quintet', which is equivalent to the size of a main destroyer in the Imperial Navy.
This is the 'Beautiful Maid', an armed merchant ship.Although it is huge, there are only more than [-] sailors on it, and the thickness of the armor, the strength of the void shield, and the firepower are far inferior to the main destroyers of the same size.
Next to the 'Beautiful Maiden', there are three much smaller ships.These three ships are not merchant ships—although they will also take on part of the cargo function if necessary, but these are three frigates.Each ship is about [-] meters long and can carry more than [-] sailors.
Their owner is named Wang Jiarong.
This girl-like girl was wearing a white dress decorated with golden patterns, and a light golden gauze was wrapped around her body.
She stood in the captain's cabin, looking out at the boundless sea of stars from the far window.
Holding the white round-brimmed hat on her head, her beautiful face has a hint of worry.
Behind her, the huge ship control room was frantically calculating the information from the ship's thinker array: they detected the approach of another strange fleet at the transition point.
At most one hour later, that fleet will pass through the transition point and come to the real universe.
