Chapter 140: Contenders

After a simple reception ceremony, Ling Xiao and the others finally had the opportunity to talk to Director Shi alone. From what I saw just now www.biquge.info I can see that Director Shi seems to have a very high status in this interstellar port, which makes everyone very curious about Director Shi's experience.

Without waiting for everyone's questions, Director Shi took the initiative to tell what happened to him and the task force during this time.

When the task force arrived at the edge of this interstellar civilization, it found a battlefield where it was fighting. One side of the battle was Admiral Mores' fleet, while the other side was a merchant alliance's fleet.

Speaking of merchant fleets, it is necessary to talk about the composition of this civilization.

The Tatars are the collective name for this civilization, and they have been in the process of expanding since they mastered the technology of ultra-long-range interstellar navigation thousands of years ago. They have now reached dozens of large galaxies like the Milky Way, and much more is being explored as they continue to explore.

The huge interstellar territory also caused the original Tatar ruling model to collapse, and those large interstellar merchant groups brought the Tatar civilization into the era of the merchant alliance with the resources and armies at their disposal. It is impossible to count how many merchant alliances there are in the Tata civilization, and the huge profits of interstellar trade make many people willing to take risks, so almost every day business alliances are established and some are destroyed. However, only five merchant alliances dominate the Tata civilization, and they have united to form the Tata Merchant Federation, which maintains the fragile balance of the Tata civilization with strong force and money.

At that time, General Molds's fleet was engaged in a medium-sized merchant alliance fleet, and in this war, Molds's fleet played a very dishonorable role, that is, interstellar pirates.

The harmless General Molds is an interstellar pirate who scares every interstellar merchant with his storm pirates. However, the Storm Pirates were clearly in serious trouble during that battle, and it was a trap when Morz led his fleet to attack a merchant fleet, a regular army affiliated with the Merchant Federation suddenly jumped near them and formed an encirclement.

Realizing that he had been ambushed, General Mores immediately led the fleet to break through, but their battleships were obviously no match for the regular army, and their armor, firepower, and speed could not outpace the high-speed cruisers in the merchant alliance's army, and the storm pirate fleet was completely unable to get out after being bitten by the dead.

And it was at this time that the task force one appeared. and rescued General Mores from the siege of the merchant alliance's troops.

In a short battle, Task Force 1 performed very eye-catching, the fighter like a wasp out of the nest can contain several enemy warships of the same class, and Task Force 1 also relied on the confusion of a large number of drones to successfully complete the space jump and break away from the battlefield.

General Molz, who was able to escape, treated Director Shi, who had saved his life, as a guest of honor, and praised the performance of Task Force 1. Director Shi seized the opportunity to hype up the "Dragon Slayer-class" battleship, which happened to be the Storm Pirate Fleet suffered a lot of losses and was eager to replenish new warships, so there was a large order this time.

After introducing the situation of the Tata civilization and his own experience, Director Shi said: "General Mores is going to purchase 500 new ships to replenish his fleet, but I heard that Storm Harbor is actually an important stronghold of the Free Army, if we can open the door to the Free Army through General Mores, I think the remaining 500 warships should be a good stepping stone for us to get through." ”

Ling Xiao asked, "What is the Free Army?" ”

"The Free Army was formed in the early days as a group of people persecuted by the Merchant League, and later grew with the addition of a large number of interstellar pirates and explorers, and is now controlled by a group of nationalists. Their aim was to overthrow the rule of the Tata civilization by the Shang Alliance and establish a unified Tata state. It is clear that the Free Army is the enemy of the current rulers of the Tata civilization, so the interstellar pirates who rob the Merchant Alliance are natural allies of the Free Army. The Storm Harbor is an important base for the pirates to sell and trade their stolen goods, and the Free Army earns a cut of the money to maintain a large military spending. ”

Now that everyone has a general understanding of the situation of the Tata civilization, it should be the army of the Shang Alliance that is exploring the solar system at the star gate at this time, and a loose ruling class will definitely not be able to command efficiently, no wonder it has taken so long

The Tata civilization is still in the stage of reconnaissance of the solar system.

The Free Army has become the enemy of all interstellar merchants because of their claims, although they have a lot of power, but their military power is far from reaching the level that can shake the rule of the merchant federation, and they can only unite with interstellar pirates or be interstellar pirates themselves.

Ling Xiao asked again, "What are you going to do?" You won't have to give your full support to the Free Army to overthrow the rule of the Tata Merchants, right? ”

"How can it be ......," Director Shi said with a smile, "We have suffered a big loss in this regard, and we have helped our brother with our efforts, but my brother turned his face and didn't recognize anyone." Our current policy is to be pragmatic, and I will match the Tiangong Group with the Free Army to earn some commissions. Then train the Free Army to cause trouble for the Tata Merchants, a Tata Merchant Federation with constant civil strife is not more beneficial to us than a unified interstellar nation. ”

Ling Xiao laughed: "Haha...... I don't care about your intrigues, as long as you can make my battleship sell well, I will give you a big red envelope. ”

Just when a few people were imagining how much money these ships could make in the cabin of the "Dragon Slayer", Storm Harbor welcomed a special guest, a brand new warship. It has a slender hull, full of large and small gun barrels, especially the twin main guns located above the bow, and the caliber of nearly ten meters shows how powerful it is.

This battleship also deliberately showed off its own maneuverability when docking with the planetary ring, and after a space drifting 180-degree rotation, it easily connected the docking port to the planetary ring.

Immediately after that, the matter of the sale of the battleship changed the next day.

General Morz found Director Shi and Ling Xiao: "I'm really sorry that our procurement of the 'Dragon Slayer-class' warship has suddenly changed. Just yesterday, the Philippines Heavy Workers, who have been providing us with warships and related services, brought their newly designed 'Wave class' fast assault ship, and from the data they submitted to us, the 'Wave class' is better than the 'Dragon Slashing class' in an all-round way, and Stormport has decided to shift the purchase of new ships to the 'Wave class'. Of course, I won't embarrass Captain Shi, I will buy 50 'Dragon Slayer-class' ships in my own name, and I will do my best to help you sell the remaining 'Dragon Slayer-class' ships. ”
