The scene was very awkward for a while.

"That... I'm sorry, we didn't know about this before. But Mr. Yaksa, if this is the case, are you sure that your alliance can draw so many people to form a fleet of dreadnoughts? You know, even if it's a clone pilot, a dreadnought needs five to ten clone pilots to control it. Fifty dreadnoughts would require at least two hundred and fifty clone pilots at the minimum standard. Even if we lower the requirements, thirty dreadnoughts will need one hundred and fifty men! Joseph said as he looked at Jaxa suspiciously.

"Please don't worry about our strength, General. The Pangalactic Business Community Alliance has enough clone pilots to meet your requirements, as long as you confirm the hiring of us. Yaksa said with a sincere smile on her face.

"Hire you?" Joseph looked at them suspiciously, then turned to Richelieu and asked, "Lord Richelieu, may I ask what Mr. Jaxa means??? ”

"That's right, given the awkward situation you're facing, General Joseph. Therefore, the young master decided to hire the mercenary group under the Pangalactic Business Community Alliance and let them participate in the battle. Richelieu explained.

“。。。 But Lord Richelieu, know that the ships they use are commercially available! There is a big difference between the warships circulating in the market and the warships used by our Imperial Navy! It is no exaggeration to say that with the same level of training, the same configuration, and the same environment, our own warships can completely crush the warships circulating on the market! Joseph explained to Richelieu with a wry smile on his face.

"But aren't you short of numbers? The young master helped you find enough of them, so isn't that okay? What's more, the cost of hiring Mr. Yaksa was allocated from the financial funds of the Tashmungon family. Or is it, General Joseph, are you ready to pay for it yourself? Richelieu asked rhetorically.

"Uhhh Joseph was speechless for a moment.

"Then do it, General Joseph. I have already conveyed the young master's meaning and plan to you, and whether you agree or not is a matter for the generals. However, I need to remind you generals here: the young master and we will relax our time with you out of a good impression of your courage to take responsibility, but Your Majesty and the upper echelons of the empire are not so patient. Therefore, please think about it, generals! Let me and Mr. Yaksa take our leave. Richelieu saluted the four of them, and left their headquarters with Yaksa and his companions.

After Richelieu left, Joseph looked at his three good brothers with a wry smile and said, "Okay, now you all talk about what to do?" Although Mademoiselle Richelieu's last words were rather harsh, I have to admit that she did have a point. Now it is Master Karl who has suppressed all the doubts and grievances against us, but it is impossible to suppress it for us for too long. Once all these grievances and doubts erupt, I don't need to say more about the consequences, right? ”

"Joseph, I have no problem with the other party's dreadnought cluster plan. But you have to know that the performance of the ships piloted by those mercenaries has shrunk by a full 40% compared to what we officially used! Even if they jump in thirty, no, fifty dreadnoughts, they won't solve the problem! Their fifty dreadnoughts are at most the same as our thirty dreadnoughts, but there is still a gap of more than fifty dreadnoughts between us and the rebels! Waltz reminded aloud.

"Then why don't you let Lord Karl hire more mercenary legions? Anyway, we're like this now, is there a difference between more and less? Gabriel said with a nonchalant shrug.

"But isn't that a little bit unpleasant? Master Karl has helped us so much, and instead of trying to repay him, we are trying to ask for more help. It's too ... Joseph thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to say the shameless three words.

“。。。 Joseph, isn't it shameless! Anyway, do you think we still have face to speak of? Maas popped up and said.

Then he turned around and looked Joseph up and down, and then said with a wicked smile: "Actually, I think this shame or something, it has nothing to do with the three of us!" ”

The other two followed Maas's gaze and looked at Joseph, and at this time they also understood.

"I think I get what you mean." Gabriel nodded thoughtfully.

Waltz was more direct, he patted Maas directly on the shoulder and said, "It's really yours!" Sure enough, the one with the most eyes in our center is you kid! ”

Only Joseph looked at his three good buddies uncomfortably and asked, "Hey! What exactly do you three want to do? I'm ugly to say that before, we are now both prosperous and loss-making. Don't dig a hole for me to jump! ”

"How so? Joseph, you were the first to surrender anyway, and you were the one who persuaded us to surrender, so this time I would like you to ask Lord Karl to hire more mercenary legions! How is it? Maas said with a smirk.

"Wait? What do you mean, Maas?! You can't do that! Joseph also sensed something and hurriedly shouted.

"It's late, my dear General Joseph, it's you who are the shame anyway, and it has nothing to do with the three of us. What's the matter if you lose someone for us again? Hey, hey, right? Brothers? Maas said with a wicked smile.

"Holy! You bastard! It's in vain that your sister-in-law treats you well! As soon as Joseph finished speaking, his face suddenly turned bad.

Seeing this situation, the faces of several people suddenly turned bad. Maas stepped forward and patted Joseph and said, "Joseph, I think we should get revenge on Lily Hathaway's slut and her female godmother, Teddys, as soon as possible." You have heard what Miss Richelieu means today, and if we still have the idea before, then there will be no chance of revenge! ”

“。。。 Well, then I'll be cheeky and say it to Master Karl again! Don't think I don't get what you mean, you guys ... Joseph finally nodded helplessly and said.

But then he said to them, "Then do it, and then we will have to think carefully about the proposal that Master Karl has given us." It's impossible for me to run back and forth several times, right? Now it's time for you to make a choice, whether to give up the family name Hathaway and redevelop incognito in another place, or to die here with the sinners of Lily Hathaway's family! ”
