Chapter 572: Caterpillar

Yasen? Nicholas was distracted, and Stephen had already walked to Jian Chen's side.

However, to everyone's surprise, he did not continue to count down Chen Jian, the two looked at each other affectionately for a few seconds, and actually raised their hands to high-five each other.

"Next time there is such a good thing, you must call me."

Jian Chen's two eyebrows almost flew up, and he said with a smile: "Okay." ”

The staff in the equipment pool downstairs had goosebumps falling to the ground.

Yasin paused, raised his hand and touched his chin, and found that it was still there, so he calmed down.

Byron is still arguing with the ship's officers, and has risen from a matter of personal ideology and morality to a social atmosphere and national value orientation.

…………

Without the "Apollo" pirates, "Dillard" is still noisy.

The "Laxis" high-altitude orbit is swimming around the military port under construction, and one engineering ship after another is swimming.

Large and small tugboats transport the building materials loaded by cargo ships to the vicinity of the military port, and different types of engineering ships transfer them to the main structure of the military port for welding and assembly, and carry out the construction work in a step-by-step manner.

With the sincere cooperation of the Engineering Department of the 44th Fleet, the Engineering Department of the 53rd Fleet, and the Engineering Department of the 42nd Fleet, after more than a month of hard and unremitting efforts, the space station with a body length of more than 20 kilometers has been completed for the most part, and now only some details and internal facilities need to be improved.

In addition to the unremitting work of the engineering department for more than 40 days and nights, the construction of a military port in such a short period of time is inseparable from the strong cooperation of the Naval Command and the logistics department of the Star Alliance in the No Man's Land.

On a "T-200" engineering boat belonging to the 2nd Engineering Battalion of the 53rd Fleet Engineering Department, while the tugboat was hauling construction materials, a black engineer in the wheelhouse scratched his itchy scalp and wiped it on his dirty military uniform to wipe off the sweat stains and greasy on his fingers. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it to his mouth, and was about to take the lighter, but another soldier behind him snatched it away, and he didn't think it was stained with saliva, so he put it in his mouth casually.

The black engineer in front of him was stunned for a moment, and grinned twice. He took out an old-fashioned lighter with polished paint from his pocket, moved it to the man behind him, lit a cigarette for him, and then took another cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and took several puffs as hard as he did with his lover's face, and spit out a puff of smoke with satisfaction.

The white man in the back was much more elegant, two fingers between the black filter, and gently tapped the cigarette ash off the front. Gently exhale turbid air between the lungs.

"Boss, have you noticed, the pirate coalition on the 'Christel' side has been gone for more than half a month, and I don't know where it went, Tang Fang may not have shown up for a long time, there is a lot of noise on the Internet, some people speculate that he has left the Star Alliance to go to the United Kingdom of Tulanx to find Henrietta for help, and some people speculate whether he is looking for a new partner. Abandon the 'Cristel' industrial complex altogether, and some speculate that he may have taken the 'Apollo' Pirates to seek revenge on the Legion of Doom. What do you think about this? ”

More than a month ago, there was silence in "Christel" for many days, which made people wonder if he had accepted the reality, and Captain Tang, who had given up the struggle, suddenly left "Dillard" with 400 warships of the "Apollo" Pirates, and no one knew where he went, and even Sheridan and Ruskin, who were in charge of daily affairs in the "Christel" industrial park, did not know Captain Tang's whereabouts. It made those Sulu and Mongolian workers panic, for fear that he, like most young people, would pat his ass and leave, and simply "Morning Star Casting" didn't want to, so what would they do next?

For those who have been concerned about the situation in "Delar". Rather than worrying about the future fate of the Sulu and Mengya laborers, they were more curious about where Tang Fang had gone.

The 44th Fleet built a military starport in "Dillard", and the "Daystar Pharmaceutical" declared that the relationship between "Morning Star Pharmaceutical" and "Morning Star Casting" was normal, and the government treated it indifferently...... There are all kinds of indications that for so many days, the situation has remained the same as before the disappearance of the Tang side and the "Apollo" pirate fleet.

There has been no change in the relationship between Morningstar Casting and Daystar Pharmaceuticals and the Star Alliance government.

In other words, Tang Fang did not choose to bow his head, he was still resisting.

Since he didn't go to Bilbom or contact the Covenant Council, where did he go?

To get revenge on the Pirate Alliance?

Even the stronghold forces can't catch the old nest of those guys, is it possible for him to be an outsider with no roots? If you blindly send troops, you are destined to be empty.

Is that to take revenge on the Legion of Doom?

Unlike pirates such as "Black Pearl", "Whitebeard", and "Cobra", the Legion of Doom is stationed in "Mubarak", and there is no need to look everywhere at all, but ...... Going to Harrington with less than 500 pirate warships? Trouble on Harris turf? Unless his brain burns out, he will do this, because it is no less than self-defeating, not to mention a large number of space-based defense facilities, "Mubarak" alone has more than 3,000 warships in service, and even the Star Alliance Navy in no man's land has to weigh this bone to gnaw, let alone a private armed man like him?

After ruling out the above two possibilities, the only reasonable guess is that he went to Henrietta for help, because Wang Jianzhi died under the attack of the Legion of Doom, and Meterev was captured by the landing force of the Legion of Doom, whether as a partner of the "Morning Star Cast" or out of national morality, Henrietta had a reason to intervene in this "commercial" dispute.

If there is a figure like Henrietta who exerts pressure through international channels, I believe that the Covenant government will not dare to go too far, after all, the identity of the old guy is there, and there is a lot of energy in the political arena of the United Kingdom of Tulanx, Tours? Olly Potter still has a long way to go before he can take out this annoying uncle.

Many people speculate that Captain Tang's purpose of trying to offend Bilbohm and pulling Henrietta into the "Morning Star Casting" was precisely to deal with today's situation.

It's a balancing act!

From this point of view, although Captain Tang is young, he is not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch if he wants to, and "Daystar Pharmaceutical" can collude with the Star Alliance government, and he can naturally form an alliance with foreign forces.

Now that the Star Alliance is actively preparing for war, preparing for a big battle with Sulu and Mengya. How dare those guys in the council offend a figure of Henrietta's level? If the United Kingdom of Turamps is also pulled into the water, the life of the Star Alliance will definitely not be easy.

The analysis of current affairs commentators is like a beacon that illuminates the hearts of every Covenant citizen who is concerned about the situation in "Dillard".

It turns out that the young man's thinking is not as "young" as his life, just imagine, if there is a disagreement or even a dispute between "Morningstar Casting" and "Daystar Pharmaceutical". The Star Alliance government will definitely favor "Daystar Pharmaceutical" and give commercial and legal resources behind the scenes.

On the other hand, if the "Morning Star Casting" wants to survive in such a complex environment, the only way is to find a backer who can match the hostile forces in the Star Alliance Council, find a balance between the two, and win time and environment for development.

"He's really a smart guy." This is what the vast majority of people think.

Of course, there are some dissenting opinions. Some people put forward another point of view.

Thinking that "Daystar Pharmaceutical" was besieged by the warships of the Apollo Pirates of the Albert faction in the industrial park of Cristiel, it was Tang Fang who used the biological warship to repel Charman and save Byron and others, at that time, "Morningstar Casting" had just completed the business registration process in "Jakarta Pur", and it was not even a leather bag company, it was simply an empty shell.

At that time, he was able to use biological weapons, and there were modified warships like the "Morning Star", did it mean that he had another research and development base outside the Tianchao Star Region? Now the momentum of "Morning Star Casting" in "Dillard" has been frustrated. As a young person, it is very likely that you are unbalanced in your heart. Ran back to move the rescuers.

There are not many people who accept this speculation, because if Tang Fang has another production base, why did he come to the Tianchao Star Region to wade into troubled waters and survive in the cracks of various forces, wouldn't this be asking for trouble for himself?

Anyway, no matter what the speculation is, the mystery of Tang Fang's whereabouts has become a big problem that plagues the people of the Star Alliance. Some people wake up every morning, and the first thing they do is not to wash their faces and brush their teeth, but to open the PDA to browse the news page so that they can be the first to know the latest developments about "Morning Star Casting".

From a certain point of view, a series of events that took place around the "Morning Star Cast". The attention of the populace is even greater than the efforts of the Covenant government to deal with the war.

Some people who understand summed up a sentence that the various incidents encountered by the "Morning Star Casting" are, to put it bluntly, the epitome of local political struggles. Of course, this qiē is not because of power, ostensibly because of interests, but in fact it is a collision and game of different ideas, beliefs, outlooks on life and values.

In this way, under the suspicion and gaze of the public, half a month has passed, and "Dillard" is like a reef in the tide, which is eroded by the wind and rain, but it does not move.

Some people who are older and have experienced many historical events smell the slightest smell of danger from it, just like the saying goes, "If you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence", and the situation in "Dirard" is like a microcosm of the Star Alliance, Sulu and Mengya, the longer it is suppressed, the more intense it will erupt. The situation before us is nothing more than calm before the storm.

Public opinion was boiling, and the soldiers of the 44th Fleet of the Star Alliance, especially the Ayaros-Coplin-Slandal No Man's Land, naturally discussed this matter more enthusiastically, because they were in "Dillard", watching "Christier" revolve around "Laxis" all day long.

The industrial park on "Christil" is very quiet, and the ships carrying Monya and Sulu laborers always arrive here from "Babylon" every few days, but there are fewer and fewer people to unload.

Grant, the No. 2 person in "Morning Star Casting", is still as diligent and diligent as ever, cooperating with Old Corey sincerely, on the one hand, absorbing unemployed laborers, and on the other hand, holding business talks with the heavy machinery manufacturing enterprises of the Silver Eagle Group, inspecting qualifications, and determining the candidates for cooperation.

In Jakarta Pur, Walton and Johnny have also not slackened off, and continue to collect iridium, cesium, titanium ore, platinum ore and other necessary mineral resources in the aerospace industry through various channels.

A qiē is so calm...... It is only the human heart that is not at peace.

The conversation between the black corporal and the white sergeant of the engineering department of the 53rd fleet is nothing more than a microcosm of the entire "Dillard" navy.

Some people are simply curious; Some people stand by and watch; Someone waited to see Captain Tang's joke; Some people scratch their ears and cheeks, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry;

"Opinion?" The white sergeant, who was in his 30s, waited for the cigarette between his fingers to burn halfway, flicked off a long piece of cigarette ash in front of him, looked up at the black man, and spat out four words: "The mantis arm is a car." ”

Before the soot reached the ground, it was dispersed by the wind from the cockpit cooler. Clouds of smoke burst open, some falling to the ground, some sticking to the dirty cushions.

The sergeant loved his country very much, and loved his army even more, just as he usually liked to visit military forums, and felt that the army of his motherland was extremely powerful. The fleet of the Motherland is proud.

As for the young man named Tang Fang in the "Christel" industrial park, he was a pitiful worm in his eyes.

Isn't the Covenant government caring enough for him? After the attack on "Dillard", the 44th Fleet was dispatched here for rescue and defense work as soon as possible, and other companies could not dream of such a good treatment.

In his eyes, the negative energy information that has gone viral on the Internet is all fart, and it is all the false words made by some so-called national elites and conspiracy theorists who have nothing to do all day long, which is purely slander, or a rumor that foreign forces smear the image of the government, which smells as bad as farting after eating a hot dog.

He had faith in the Covenant. This kind of blind confidence stems from the love for it, the love for the army, and the love for the system, and those people on the Internet intentionally or unintentionally put the "Morning Star Casting" on the opposite side of the Star Alliance government, so he slowly developed a kind of hostility, so from the initial indifference, to the current disdain.

The corporal clearly disagrees with him, despite the fact that he is a chief: "I think what those current affairs commentators on the Internet say is quite reasonable. That Tang Fang...... It's really mysterious, and there's that. Those people in the council did go too far this time, they shouldn't have united with outsiders to suppress the 'Morning Star Forge', let alone use military force to force people into this. ”

In the end, he righteously said: "It is wrong for the army to be a state, not a tool for the political class to use to achieve its goals." What we are doing now is tantamount to aiding and abetting. ”

The sergeant frowned, disliked the black corporal's remarks, and wrenched the cigarette butt on a blackened metal plate on the side of the control table, threw it into the trash can next to him, and said, "Since you can't get used to it." You can choose to leave. ”

The black man's facial muscles twitched a few times, and he smiled dryly: "I still have to earn money for milk powder for my child." ”

The sergeant raised his eyebrows and said like a victor, "Then shut up...... Work! ”

A tugboat approached from a distance, and the flickering lights reflected some nearby engineering boats in red.

There is a Storm Hammer-class flagship parked on the periphery of the engineering area, the hull of the ship more than 400 meters long looks like a war hammer from a distance, and according to the bow livery, its origin can be clearly judged - Pompey, deputy commander of the 44th Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy? Clark's car, the "Warrior Immortal".

"Mie Nakamura, you despicable villain." The voice was so low that only he could hear it.

Pompey? Clark is very concerned about his image, or reputation, and his ideal is to be a glorious and great soldier, as great as a mountain, as lofty as a monument.

He didn't want people to see his downcast, and he didn't want people to think that he was a long-tongued woman.

Succumbing to a woman like Mie Nakamura, he thinks it is very down, but also a kind of humiliation, and scolding shows his incompetence and failure, only the weak will bite and bark like a dog.

He thought of himself as a true soldier, a man with a sincere heart and a patriotic love for the army, how could he accept such a notoriety as a loser and a long-tongued woman, so he kept his voice low, so low that only he could hear it.

Mie Nakamura submitted a report to the No-Man's Land Naval Command, praising him for his rigorous personality and integrity, and that the most important task of the 44th Fleet today was to build a military port at "Laxis", and it was best for him to supervise such work that did not tolerate sloppiness and slackness.

As a result, the dignified deputy commander of the 44th Fleet became the supervisor, listening to those people in the engineering department report on the progress of the project all day long, as well as all kinds of crying about poverty, all kinds of tearing, and all kinds of shirking responsibility.

He is a dedicated person, and he really works early and late like a hard-working old scalper, but this does not mean that he is a fool and a fool. Mie Nakamura had a chic life on the "Yingsen", but he had to supervise the progress of the project conscientiously and meticulously, how could he not have a little resentment.

The so-called not doing is good, doing more is wrong. People who don't do the real thing, who don't tell the truth, never make mistakes.

He was very unhappy, very unhappy, worse than eating a mouse poop from white rice.

Because "political zhì" once again overrides "military", it is really unreasonable that such an upright and loyal soldier as he was once again used by a despicable villain like Mie Nakamura to use political methods.

He became more and more disgusted with the guy named "Tang Fang", because he subconsciously thought that the young man and Mie Nakamura were all the way, and what he was best at was to play tricks and conspiracies, using lies and deception for personal gain.

People like them should all die, and then the world will be much cleaner.

He shifted his gaze to the large screen No. 3, where the "Cristiel" industrial park was silent, and the lighting equipment of the surface buildings sprinkled light on the mottled ground, which was as white as snow and somewhat seeping.

Pompey? Clark remembered a sentence, "The wicked have their own wicked grinding", when Captain Tang played a prosperous game, the Star Alliance government was almost single-handedly pryed by him, how about now, it's not like a caterpillar.

He's not a dragon, he's not a snake, he's a caterpillar at best. (To be continued......)
