In the Principality of Rank, Prime Minister McBie was in a good mood.

"Prime Minister, this is the 15th batch of battleships of the Silver Moon Empire Rong family to support us according to the agreement, including 150 battleships with double main gun reinforcements, 350 conventional battleships, and 10 special battleships that we specially requested, the Rong family also sent us 10!"

The chief military officer of the Prime Minister's Office happily reported that with 500 battleships, the Rong family was really generous.

Prime Minister McBie was originally just in a good mood, but when he heard that even the number of special warfare ships was going to be 10, he couldn't help but stand up happily.

"What? The Rong family is finally willing to give us the Divine Earth Ship? ”

"Yes, this kind of Divine Earth Ship that specializes in defense has a particularly harsh manufacturing technology and high cost, and the powerful third-level civilization Silver Moon Empire has less than two hundred, and it is really surprising that the Rong family can give us 10 ships at a time."

The military chief said excitedly, although he didn't know what agreement the principality's high-level and the Rong family had reached, but if he could get so many battleships, the principality's war on the front line would be smoother.

However, to his surprise, Prime Minister McBi, who was still happy just now, frowned slightly at this time and asked him to go down first, "You go down first." ”

"Yes!"

Five minutes later, a young man in his thirties rushed to McBi's office.

"I've met the Prime Minister."

"Vice-Chancellor."

Mike Bi hurriedly got up, this young man who looked to be in his thirties was actually fifty or sixty years old, but he was still a young man in a third-level civilization.

This person's name is Rong Chen, and he is the highest power representative of the Rong family in the Principality of Ranke, and he is also the person who served as the deputy prime minister of the Principality of Ranke according to political transactions.

"Lord Duke, are you still satisfied with our family's gift?"

Rong Chen said with a smile, although the whole person was silent, but it gave people a particularly old and cunning feeling.

As the super family of the Silver Moon Empire, the Rong family has reached an agreement with several other major families.

The Rong family relinquished a place in the highest power circle of the Silvermoon Empire, and in compensation, the Silvermoon Empire would acquiesce to the Rong family's acquisition of the Principality of Ranke as their founding capital.

In other words, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and the huge strategic assistance that the Principality of Ranke has received from beginning to end is based on a secret agreement that humiliates the country.

Prime Minister McBie closed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but remember the content of the secret agreement.

The secret agreement stipulates that the Rong family will help the Duchy of Ranke tide over the difficulties, and at the same time, the Silvermoon Empire will secretly contain the Guluo Federation, so that the Duchy of Lanke can finally be preserved.

This kind of help includes both direct warship assistance and military support.

In exchange, the Lan family, the king of Lank, will gradually cede power to the Rong family, and help the Rong family smoothly ascend to the throne and complete the transfer of power.

The rewards that the Lan family can receive also include going to the Silver Moon Empire to enjoy the life of an aristocratic person and obtaining an astronomical amount of cosmic coins.

Originally, the king of Rankshire did not agree, and no one wanted to cut off the inheritance of his ancestors easily, and he had always been a lover to the Rong family, until the outbreak of the war, when the Nok merchant alliance attacked Ranke, and at the critical juncture of the country's ruin, he made a choice between having nothing and being a rich man.

As a result, Rong Chen and a large number of Rong family children joined the military and political circles of the Principality of Rank, Rong Chen served as the vice minister of the principality, and the vast majority of the fleets assisted by the Rong family were under the command of the generals of the Rong family.

It can be said that the Duchy of Ranke has already died out in half.

"Sure enough, the annexation of low-level civilizations is an inevitable shortcut for big families to go to empire."

Prime Minister McBie knows all this best, but once many high-level civilization families want to establish themselves as countries, the easiest way is to conspire to subvert a low-level civilization, and then quickly develop after taking over.

Although the Rong family has its own life planets, those life planets still belong to the Silver Moon Empire at all. In order to have a planet and a country that truly belongs to the Rong family from generation to generation, it is necessary to build a country.

When wealth, armament, and talent accumulate to a certain height, and find ways to annex low-level civilizations, the Rong family will be able to establish a developed second-level civilization in a short period of time, and because of the deep connection with the Silver Moon Empire, it may only take a few decades, and the Southwest Star Domain will have one more natural ally of the Silver Moon Empire, a new third-level civilization.

"Yes, I am very satisfied, Mr. Rongchen."

Although Prime Minister McBi doesn't like the Rong family very much in his heart, and he doesn't like this Rong Chen, as a deep-rooted family in the Principality of Rank, he knows very well that he can only cooperate, and going against such a giant family will definitely end up ruining the family.

Rong Chen shook his head, he understood Prime Minister McBi's psychology very well, and said straight to the point, "Lord Duke, the patriarch just ordered me to be kind to you, the future Ranke Empire will have a place for the McBi family, and the title of Duke will also be hereditary for three generations." ”

"Really, I am really grateful to Patriarch Rongrong and to the people of Vice Minister Fu."

Hearing Rong Chen's words, Prime Minister McBi was finally moved, it is already a fact that the Principality of Ranke is unprohibitable, with the intervention of the Rong family, sooner or later the Principality of Ranke will be changed to an empire, surnamed Rong.

If the wealth can be preserved, Prime Minister McBie thinks that is the best outcome.

"This is the latest appointment list."

Rong Chen gave a list of appointments to military and political officials.

Prime Minister McBi took it and looked at it, and said secretly in his heart, it is really a big family, and he is not worried about the Ranke family at all, once this list is signed and appointed, the entire Frank Principality will almost be set aside.

"I will sign this letter of appointment as soon as possible."

Prime Minister McBie readily agreed.

"Very good, the Longshan Empire is organizing a new round of offensives, it is impossible for the reinforcements of the Nok Merchant Alliance to arrive, and when our next batch of more powerful aid fleets arrives, the Noks will retreat to the border, and we will not only win the war, but also defeat those shameful sneak attackers, such as the Orion Alliance."

Rong Chen waved his arms and showed the prime minister the bright prospects he had sketched, as if he would be victorious tomorrow.

At this moment, an emergency message came in.

"Your Excellency, there is an emergency communication request."

"Huh? Pick it up. ”

Soon, a lieutenant general appeared on the screen, it was none other than Mongo.

"Prime Minister, I ......"

It seemed that he saw Rong Chen and others on the side, as a close confidant of the prime minister, Lieutenant General Meng Ge did not continue.

"Let's say, Lord Rongchen is not an outsider."

"Yes! After successfully sneaking up on the Chinese's front-line supply depot and inflicting heavy casualties on them, we were ambushed by the superior fleet of the Chinese and suffered heavy losses, and the remaining fleet is retreating towards the B-class life planet Laguxing, and we ask the Prime Minister to order the deployment. ”

Mongo said anxiously, the 200 warships of the Chinese are all fierce goods armed to the teeth, not to mention anything else, most of them are twin main gun configurations, and the one led by is still a real super battleship, if such a fleet attacks the Ranks border, Laguxing will fall into the hands of the enemy within two or three days.

"What! What about the strength of the enemy?"

This time, not only Lord Duke was shocked, but even Rong Chen asked angrily, he also knew in this operation that 75 main warships were actually beaten with heavy casualties, when did this small country, which was originally not literate, break out with such a powerful combat effectiveness.

"They have more than a hundred reinforced battleships, and their surnames are better than ... It is stronger than the reinforced battleship brought by the vice-minister, and it is completely a dual main gun configuration.

They also have a super-battleship that is at the level of a super-battleship in terms of firepower, speed, and even energy shields.

At present, the total number of Chinese enemy ships we have found has reached 205. ”

Meng Ge said in one breath, he cut the picture of the Chinese sneak attack into it, and Prime Minister McBi and Vice Minister Rong Chen couldn't help but gasp after seeing it.

"What the hell are they going to do?"

Duke McBi was extremely puzzled in his heart, although the Duchy of Ranke was weak now, but only relying on about 200 main warships, even if he occupied Lagu Star, he would not be able to defend it.

But the other party's aggressive appearance, chasing all the way, at first glance, is a posture of large-scale attack, this is this question, which was quickly answered.

Just a few hours later, urgent information arrived again.

"It has been reported that the 7th Fleet on the Orion Alliance's border is advancing at high speed with our border area, and it is not yet possible to determine the target of their advance."

"Keep an eye on it!"

Prime Minister McBie immediately ordered his own defense minister.

The fleet of the Orion Alliance is different from the fleet of the Chinese, after all, the Orion Alliance is a second-level civilization, although it is only a fleet, but the main warships also have more than two hundred, such a fleet that is not strong or weak haunts the border area, what kind of fame.

"Lord Duke, I think I should order the 2nd Reserve Fleet to support Laguxing."

Rong Chen suddenly interjected.

"Okay, just do as the Vice Minister says."

Prime Minister McBi was also confused by the situation in front of him, what are the Chinese and Orion Alliance going to do? If you want to attack Rank, it should be marching towards the hinterland, not along the border, is there any other conspiracy, or the Orion Alliance wants to occupy the Lost Star Field, it is also unlikely.

Even if they can enter the Lost Star Field, will the Chinese surrender willingly? Eventually, it will be surrounded by the Duchy of Rank.

While the Principality of Ranke was dispatching troops, the Chinese fleet divided a part of the fleet to continue to pursue the remnants of the Ranke fleet, while the other fleet slowly retreated near the entrance of the Lost Star Field, waiting for the Orion Alliance's fleet to come.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

"Vice Minister Cai, the people from the Orion Alliance will be here soon."

Sun Xiwu, who had just commanded the pursuit fleet to return to the entrance of the Lost Star Domain, reported to Cai Yi.

"Well, let the fleet in the rear that is ready to be sold to the Orions be ready, once the Orion Alliance makes any small moves, and refuses to trade with peace of mind, return immediately."

Cai then returned to the command module and connected to Earth's communications.

"Your Majesty, the people from the Orion Alliance are here soon."

"Well, according to the rules of the trade, just give them the fleet. Even if they cheat, they will hand it over, these 150 battleships are not worth 800 million cosmic coins, if they defraud is to tear up the contract, then the loan of 3 billion cosmic coins will not have to be repaid. ”

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, but he knew better than anyone else that the Orion people would not only not tear up the contract, but would also provide Cai Ye like a grandfather, these 150 new fighters, the Orions have coveted for a long, long time.

After being pressed and beaten for so long, I dreamed of getting these new advanced warships, and just now even the president of the Orion Alliance personally contacted him to watch the handover ceremony all the way.
