"The outrageousness of the Federation is impressive." Xu Changqing pointed to the picture of the news broadcast and said to Clara, who had just taken a seat.

Clara filled Xu Changqing with wine, then poured herself another glass, took a sip, and sighed with satisfaction.

This low-alcohol liquor is only sold at Pig and Whistle Bars, and it has a unique taste and texture, and Clara orders it every time she comes over.

Clara was actually under a lot of pressure, and he had colleagues, or competitors.

To put it mildly, the 32 billion people of the Earth and Moon Federation rely on pure natural growth, and there is no shortage of any kind of fairy beauties. Nor do federal agencies produce single-digit social agents.

Clara, a French beauty with a super good temperament, is just one of more than a dozen mission-bearers.

In order to be able to contact Xu Changqing, the Federation adopted a one-on-one marking tactic, and the captains of the first eight Red Stick-class light cruisers all had an agent to contact.

Even the CEO of Kyushu Industrial has someone to raid it, especially if he knows that it is Ella? After Olivier, the beautiful man's plan and family Dafa have really been played all over again, and they have been working hard so far.

However, David Zhao is the only one who has made progress.

Up to now, Zhao Dawei's importance in the eyes of the Federation has been ranked above Ella.

Although Ella is the Virgin, she is also a master of oil and salt. She can give everything voluntarily, and in turn, no one can change her decision.

The other captains were all identified as fanatics who had been deeply brainwashed, and it was extremely difficult to attack.

Only this Zhao Dawei has fairly normal human characteristics. And the name of his ship is also unique, the Velvet. The names of the ships of the Red Stick class are not a series at all.

Although he had a history of impostoring before, he still did not restore the original name after being revealed, and the ship's livery and even the shape of the ship have not changed.

Being able to be appointed by Xu Changqing as the captain of the Zero ship and being the first to start his activities shows in itself that this person is special.

Special from the start.

It is said that in order to get this task, Clara used her body to help her boss cool for a week. Of course, the private parts have not been used, they are reserved for important goals, to put it mildly, it was bought by the Federation for tens of millions of cultivation fees, and it is part of the property of the Federation, so the high price is not affordable for ordinary people.

Of course, this may also be the fake news specially concocted by those who are envious and jealous to discredit her.

But at least one thing is for sure, and that is that her competitors are staring at her like wolves, pushing behind her back, trying to take her place.

She must win at least one more order to prove that her relationship with Zhao Dawei is solid, not accidental.

And the more this is the case, the more she warns herself that she must not lose her character, she can only say flattering words, and she must not be too anxious.

So listening to Xu Changqing's shameless drama staged by the Federation on Europa's side, she said: "It's really cheeky." But there's nothing wrong with that, it's all in plain sight, right? ”

Where are the space pirates?

For most people, this remains a mystery.

But in fact, there is not much mystery, when the space logistics of the entire human civilization are basically suspended, these guys naturally can't hide.

Of course, many of them are just mixed up on the space stations.

And most of them have a lot of connections with the people in the Federation.

Pirates who have no backstage, no technology, intelligence, and channel support are not long in life, and those pirates who have been exterminated announced from time to time in the news are this category.

For the rest, they received the news before the port closed and made a choice. They gave up their identities to live a small life and did what they were good at, from robbery to forcible occupation.

Xu Changqing has always known that these space pirates have a lot to do with the Federation, and he knows from the fact that the main ships used by space pirates are retired ships of the Federation.

Although these pirates are not as arrogant as the space pirates of the Fourth Age of the Extreme Realm, they are very similar in nature, and they are all vicious dogs raised by powerful people.

Of course, the powerful will not admit that the pirates are not completely dependent on others, their main source of livelihood still depends on their own means, and some of them do well, and they do get more autonomy, and there is a little bit of business meaning, such as black water and iron sword.

The pirate cluster currently entrenched in Europa is led by these two groups, which seem to be a whole, but in fact they are distinct.

The other small pirate forces are now largely on the side. Blackwater plundered slightly more, with a ratio of about 53% to 47%.

Blackwater and Iron Chopper each occupy a planting base as a base plate.

The third and largest No. 1 planting base is divided between the two sides, mainly to feed the new gangs under their respective commands.

This cluster formed by the pirates, also called the Star Alliance, the full name is the Great Star Domain Marauder Alliance, in order to distinguish itself from the Alien Domain Colonial Alliance, they call themselves the Great Star Alliance, and call the other Star Alliance the Alien Alliance.

Ironically, although the newly established Great Star Alliance has two major camps, it is much stronger than the Outer Star Alliance in terms of centripetal force and control over subordinates.

The rules of this organization are whoever has the most power to speak, and the current ranking forces are basically convinced, and after occupying Europa's planting base, their respective resource quotas are basically quantified according to their ranking.

They are very smart not to directly intervene in the government affairs and planting management of each planting base, but let them manage themselves in the form of task trusteeship.

They set a slightly higher, but reasonable, surrender limit, if it is less, it will be supplemented by the grower's own rations, and if it is more, there will be a certain reward.

Use violent means to coerce professionals to do professional things. The Great Star Alliance, which has a bit of the style of the former Hunting Association, relies on a pair of iron fists and not too stupid brains to ensure the normal operation of Ganymede.

And what about the Alien Alliance? After all these years of establishment, it is finally clear to now, and it is a joke.

More than half of the former franchise members have been simply erased in the recent power reshuffle.

There are even two that are simply fooling, and they have no control over the corresponding space station at all, but they rely on swagger and deception, and their small lives are not bad.

Gandhi's recent days can be said to be like years, when the federation and the republic were like mountains, and their organization was overwhelmed, and the so-called autonomy was a distant dream.

Now the Republic has closed itself off from the rest of the country nearly three years ago, cutting off almost all foreign exchanges. And the Federation has also withdrawn and left, the asteroid belt is free, but the dream is still far away.

In fact, since betraying Zhao Dawei and having a way out, the three Gandhians don't really want to do it very much, they want to sacrifice St. Michael as well, and then go to the federation to start a new business.

However, the Confederation was not interested in accepting St. Michael, which would have angered the Church. Moreover, the Federation refused to give them any good arrangement.

The negotiator told them: "The upper side thinks that you originally have two values, the first is that you have a certain influence on the asteroid belt. Able to do something. Secondly, this is a special site, which is suitable for all parties to contact. But now that the one is gone, the potential of the two is exhausted. You didn't settle Zhao Dawei, and we chased his ass, and it was not easy to negotiate a deal. This is contrary to your promise at the time of the negotiation. Therefore, the Federation will only ensure that you can enjoy your old age in dignity after you go to Earth. If you want to make a difference, now is the time of turmoil in the asteroid belt, reflecting the value of the Star Alliance. ”

So Gandhi and the others are now like outdated movie stars, connecting everywhere, but they run into walls everywhere. The people in power on each space station are extremely realistic, and they ask with one mouth, what can you offer?

As soon as this question was asked, Gandhi was bitter, and they couldn't provide what the space stations wanted. St. Michael himself is a mess now.

You know, this is a gold cave, a place like Las Vegas where outsiders make money, and the service industry is his main industrial pillar.

From this point of view, they are the ones who are most affected by the closure of Starport.

They have long regretted that they did not sell a full set of heavy industry technology from Xu Changqing in the first place. They now finally have a deep understanding of what true wealth is. Realize that if you grit your teeth at the beginning, although you will not be financially rich for a few years, you will have a real cash cow, and as long as the space stations in the asteroid belt want to operate, they cannot do without their support, otherwise they can only be remotely exploited by the Federation.

However, they played a little clever, they deliberately acted for Xu Changqing to see, and selected some technologies, all of which were popular and could make money, and basically would not rot in their hands.

They feel that they have made a lot of money, they make money by themselves, and they can also get money by selling them, Xu Changqing wants to play a package of bundled sales, phew, Lao Tzu ate meat, and the bones are spit back to you, and what comes out is the money with flesh and bones, and all they get is pure meat and no bones, which is called earning.

But now, their heavy industry is a fragmented, they are just parts manufacturers, and they still can't produce even a third-rate ship engine on their own.

Nowadays, the ship market is hot, and St. Michael, as the most well-known ship building place in the asteroid belt, has no work to do.

The Confederation ships are running at full capacity, new factories are constantly being put into production, there are no spare parts to sell to them, and the no-sail order imposed by the Federation has also cut off the transportation route.

Being smart is mistaken by being smart, and regretting not being at the beginning!

In fact, they also begged in a low voice, and when they couldn't see Xu Changqing, they took Zhao Dawei's path, and wanted to re-launch in the name of apology.

Zhao Dawei killed them with a word: "Now what value do you have to let the boss give you a second investment?" I don't know the rules of the Hunting Association that only say good things once? ”

The Alien Alliance is now really a bit of a wax, and Gandhi also runs to Europa's side to try to reconnect with him. As a result, those people said simply: come out and mix, if you want to be a big brother, you will either have money or people. If you don't scatter money, it's okay, take the lead in the charge, solve the problem, we will obey you, otherwise don't BB.

That's it, after the bloody struggle for power and resources, the first people who no longer recognize the fool are these people who temporarily get the power of the space station. Saying everything is false, what to do is true, not to mention the empty gloves white wolf, but there are not enough dry goods, and no one will play with you.

Such a pragmatic truth was profoundly realized by the asteroid belt people by the death of 170,000 people.

And that's just the beginning.

There are still many important truths waiting for them to understand, and the tuition fee is only for human lives.

The space station suddenly starved to death with food shortage, which is very unscientific at first glance. Even the cities on the earth, where logistics are relatively cheap, have relevant basic material reserves, so how can each space station have no spare living resources?

In fact, there are, but no matter how much they are, they can't withstand the looting of people's unstable hearts.

This is also the main reason for the spike in burglaries on the space stations, and the sale of food in the market has long been cut off.

Food can only be found in two places, in people's homes and in official coffers.
