Volume 3 The War of Insects Chapter 188 Not Giving an Inch (1)

If there's one guy on ItGleason who can pull Morningstar's ear without being resisted, it's Layton.

In the room, Morningstar did see the pile of that Leighton had in his mouth, and the pending papers were piling up. Originally, Leighton could have decided these things, but since Morningstar planned the trip to Itgleeson, Leighton began to realize that Morningstar was no longer the child who was protected by him, but had grown into a leader who could plan for a rainy day. Instead of making good decisions on these important matters, all of Leighton left the opportunity to be dealt with by Morningstar.

Most of the piled up documents are some decisions that will affect the direction of Itgleeson in the future, and Morningstar has already planned for these, so it is also easy to deal with them, and Xie Shiqi is on the side, pointing out and revising some flawed decisions made by Morningstar. The three old men in the room looked at the pair of young friends in front of them, and they all nodded with great satisfaction.

By the time Morningstar let out a sigh of relief and stretched, it was already evening, and the crowd in the courtyard had long since dispersed, and Leighton was in charge of seeing them off. Shiraishi had returned to the barracks to continue his work, while Tula was nowhere to be found. Xie Shiqi in the room also breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not completely relax, looking at the remaining three documents on the desktop, his brows furrowed tightly.

These three documents came from the Empire's Vestok, the Republic's military, and the Alliance's Tommy and Corinth.

Vystock continued to maintain his domineering style, hoping to work more closely with the Psenchus of Itgleason, and asked Morningstar to find time to take his team of Psenchus technicians to the Empire. What was supposed to be a good invitation was made by Vistock as stiff and ruthless as a court arraignment. There is no good way to deal with this imperial head who may become his father-in-law in the future, and Morning Star is as tough as the outside world rumores. If you say you want to help you, then do your best to help you, without reservation. said that if he wants to invite you to the empire as a guest, then you must go, there is no room for negotiation.

Morning Star handed over the invitation of Vistock, which was placed on the far left of the table, to Xie Shiqi first, and told Xie Shiqi to arrange the time and itinerary, and Xie Shiqi nodded yes. Then he picked up a document on the far right, which was a written request from the Alliance to open the right to purchase the ItGleason Star series mechas. From this document, Morningstar confirmed the news that had been sent back through the Shadow Guard of the Agron Star Sector. The situation in the Agron Sector is terrible right now, and as Locke described in his reply, the Alliance's repressive forces are not moving an inch. Moreover, compared to when Locke first went, more and more people in the Agron Star District fell to the side of the Mandate of Heaven. The reason why Tommy asked Ate Gleason to buy the It Gleeson Star series of mecha was because the mecha that Morningstar had previously given to Rock had strongly suppressed nearly twenty Destiny Sect mechs in a head-on conflict between the Alliance army and the Mandate of Heaven, which not only won Locke honor and respect, but also let the Alliance military see the huge potential of Eat Gleason manufacturing. Tommy and Corinthia asked Itgleason to provide more mechs of this type, and as for the price, it was negotiable.

Faced with Tommy's request, Morningstar found it difficult to refuse. ItGleason executed the series of mechas, which was originally planned by Morningstar to be that kind of brand mecha, just like when he promised Caterina, to highlight the luxury of this series of mechas. But the current situation made Morning Star a little unsure of what to do for a while. Broadly speaking, Itgleason and the Alliance belong to the same human camp, and it is only natural for one side to come to the rescue when one side is threatened. Since the ItGleason Star series mechs have a brilliant performance on the battlefield of Aglen, and can even influence the course of the battle, it is reasonable to meet the requirements of the Alliance. On a personal level, this is also the help that Morningstar wants to provide to Locke, and if Morningstar adds a condition to the purchase agreement, a condition that these mechs must be at Locke's disposal, it will definitely make Locke's military career smoother. Whether it is righteous or personal, it makes sense to help the Alliance, but it will affect what Morningstar has planned for a long time, and between devotion and selfishness, Morningstar does not know how to choose.

When Morning Star expressed such thoughts to Xie Shiqi, Xie Shiqi actually returned the sentence that Morning Star sent him not long ago. Since you want to help Locke and make a fortune from the Alliance, then provide them with the ItGleason Star series of mechas, but these mecha can be slightly modified, for example, changed to ItGleason Star Type II, compared to Type I, the biggest difference between Type II is that it is more practical and cost-effective, and some high-grade materials used on Type 1 can be replaced with relatively affordable ones, while the price of Type 1 continues to increase, compensating for the expenses that buyers need to bear more in detail. This idea was quickly accepted by Morningstar, and the Itgleason Star Type 2, which was used for mass export, was born in the casual conversation between Morningstar and Xie Shiqi.

As for the document in the middle of the table, Morning Star really didn't want to look at him, it was from the military of the Republic, or rather, from the mecha combat unit controlled by the Fan Shutao family from the military of the Republic. is also domineering and irrefutable, Vestock made a contribution to Morning Star first, and then had such an attitude towards Morning Star, that feeling is like parents and elders for their children, selfless dedication and then put on a shelf, which is easy to accept. But the domineering nature of this document from the mecha combat unit of the Republic military is a domineering, top-down oppression.

The central content of this document is to ask Morningstar's Itgleason to provide all mecha-related materials and technology to the Republican military, and to provide a team of Pusenchus technicians to help the Republic build its own mecha production line. Reading between the lines, in addition to the righteousness of the family and the country, it is giving, responsibility and other great truths, which makes Morning Star very uncomfortable. If this document was from Zhu Nianguo, if it was from anyone else who was helpful to Morning Star, Morning Star would not have such resistance, but it was from the mecha combat unit controlled by the Fan Shutao family, which made Morning Star very uncomfortable. Morning Star has always thought that he is generous enough, although he has been provoked and stumbled repeatedly, but he has tolerated it, even if he once hurt Fan Shutao, he is very measured. But now, these guys who have been buzzing around Morning Star like flies all this time actually talk to Morning Star in such a tone, but he can't continue to calm down.

Xie Shiqi could guess his current thoughts from Morning Star's facial expressions. Hurriedly walked to Morning Star's side, picked up the document on the table and persuaded Morning Star to say, "It's better to calm down first in this matter, not too impulsive." Although they have made a lot of trouble for you in the past, after all, now they represent the republic, you know, although It Gleason is still in a state of self-control, but after all, you are still a citizen of the republic, and if you don't do well, you will give people a handle. ”

Morning Star didn't know the other party's calculations, and the reason why he dared to talk to himself with such an attitude was obviously a long time ago. If Morningstar agreed, they would definitely make a big announcement, but they would certainly not advertise that Morningstar had made sacrifices for the republic, but that Morningstar would be as timid as a mouse, and would obediently obey when they were scared. If Morningstar doesn't agree, it will be easier, and then the criticism of Morningstar's ingratitude and forgetfulness will surely sweep the entire republic. Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Morningstar finally decided to meet the person after much thought.

Xie Shiqi left to arrange the tasks given to him by Morning Star, to arrange the time and itinerary, and to inform Anshidar and Dedalus of the transformation of the Itgleason Star, as well as the plans needed for mass production. Morningstar went to a temporary institution called the Reception Office in Queen City in response to this "tourist wave". Here, Morning Star met with representatives of the military of the Republic, or rather, representatives of the Fan family.

The person who came was a handsome man in his thirties, with a full face like a traditional Republic man, a high nose bridge, thick lips, but some sunken eye sockets, obviously caused by long-term indulgence. Accompanied by two attendants, the man stomped into Morning Star's room. Morning Star, who was sitting behind the desk, stood up politely, and was about to speak, but saw that the other party did not mean to shake hands with him at all, but looked around, and pointed at the furnishings in the room with the entourage behind him. The doorman outside the office also saw this scene and was furious, and was about to reprimand this rude guy, but was interrupted by Morningstar raising his hand.

Morning Star looked at the other party with interest, without speaking or moving, just to see what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. And that man was also surprisingly patient, and directly ignored the existence of the morning star and chatted with his entourage. Morningstar understood, this guy seemed to be trying to elevate his status and let Morningstar say hello first. With a sneer, Morning Star sat back in his seat, put his legs on the table, leaned back, closed his eyes, and after a while, his breathing became steady, Morning Star, fell asleep.

The door of the room was never closed, and the two guards at the door who were loaded with guns and ammunition began to become nervous when they saw that Morning Star was asleep in front of this group of obviously ill-intentioned guys, and the guards who were originally standing by the door with their eyes outward were standing in front of the door at this moment, with short guns, loaded, and the safety was opened, staring straight at the three people in the room, with a cold face. The soft sound of the metal collision driven by the pull of the bolt made the man and the two attendants in the room tremble, and their hands unconsciously stretched out to their waists. Seeing this, the guard took aim with his gun and shouted, "Don't move!" ”

This sound worked very well, not only deterring the two attendants, but also waking up Morning Star, who had just been a little sleepy, and stood up, Morning Star said, "Hey, what are you two doing, don't you see me sleeping?" ”

The weapons in the guards' hands were still aimed at the eyebrows of the two attendants, and the shining laser was like a serpent's letter, a naked threat. One of the guards turned his head, the gun in his hand still not lowered, and said to Morning Star, "Report, these two have weapons!" ”

Morningstar sneered, motioned for the two guards to put down their weapons, and said, "It's just two pistols, when I was on Warrenfsburg, a group of people shot at me with guns and didn't hurt me, can these two threaten me?" Don't be nervous, get out. ”

Morningstar's words were the highest order from It Gleeson, and the guards immediately put away their guns, closed the door, and continued to stand guard. Without the threat of firearms, the handsome man in the room felt relieved, but remembering his previous performance, he lost his mind for a while, stood up and pointed at Morning Star and shouted, "Morning Star, what do you mean?" Allowing my men to point their weapons at me? Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

"Yo? Sir, what is your surname? Morningstar sat back in his chair, slying and smiling sly, his hands crossed on his chin, looking at each other with interest.

Obviously, such a question could not be answered by the handsome man who was the "protagonist", and a guard beside him hurriedly introduced: "This is Major Li Xinwei, the head of logistics of the mecha combat brigade of the Xinjing Defense Force of the Republic, and the person in charge of negotiating with you on behalf of the Republic. ”

"Oh, Hello Major Lee, I wonder what you are doing with my It-Gleason this time?" Morning Star's words gave Li Xinwei a momentary illusion, an illusion of being respected, but Morning Star's next words almost made his mouth crooked.

"If you're here to exchange experience in warehouse management, then I'm not very suitable to host you, we have more professional people here, and they should do better than me."

"Morning Star! Don't go too far! Li Xinwei was enraged by Morningstar's words, warehouse management? A person in charge of logistics who was emotionally dignified was actually regarded as a storekeeper by Morning Star, and this kind of insult was something Li Xinwei had never encountered. The person in charge of logistics is a fat shortage in the military, and he is in charge of the supply of various materials, when Li Xinwei was in Xinjing, even many generals had to be polite when they saw him, but at It Gleeson, he was so insulted by Morning Star, which made him angry.

Although Morning Star was also very angry, he was much calmer than this Li Xinwei. Slowly stood up, walked to the desk, sat down on the work with a slight jump, looked at Li Xinwei condescendingly and said, "Am I excessive? Major Li, have you learned the thousands of years of inheritance of the republic? You've been ignoring me since you walked through the door, don't you know what a guest is? Don't you know what it means to be a local? Not to mention that you are a small colonel in charge of logistics on Xinjing Star, even if your commander-in-chief comes to my territory, do you have to call me the Lord of the Morning Star? Besides, did I inform you that outsiders are required to surrender their weapons when they enter ItGleason? You allowed your men to enter my office with weapons, what do you want to do, assassinate me? If you do this, I will kill you on the spot, and I will not be held accountable by anyone, do you know? Don't be in a hurry to explain, there's more! Seeing that Li Xinwei wanted to speak, Chenxing interrupted directly, and picked up the document from the desktop behind him, looked at it casually, and threw the information on Li Xinwei's face with a slight force in his hand, and said, "You are here to negotiate with me on behalf of the military of the Republic?" Is this a request for negotiation? Haven't you read a book? Don't know what tone to use when asking for someone? Or do you think that with the Fan family supporting you, you can be lawless? ”

Li Xinwei had long heard that Chenxing was a master of mouth artillery, but he didn't expect his words to be so sharp, he turned himself upside down without giving himself a chance to explain, and even charged himself with attempting to assassinate, which is obviously a false accusation!

Throwing the information in his hand to the ground, Li Xinwei pointed at the morning star and roared: "Don't frame me, even in the territory of the Republic, my entourage can carry weapons to protect me, what are you little Iter Gleeson?" Do you want to divide the republic? Besides, how can I say that I am also a school officer, and what about you? That's how you talk to your chief? ”

The corners of Morningstar's mouth curled, his hands propped up on the table with his hands back, and he looked at the ceiling and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the major of the Republic doesn't enjoy the benefits of the guards holding guns, where did these two goods come from behind you?" Who arranged it for you? And where do their weapons come from? Are you stupid or stupid to say that I split the republic? Have you seen the tripartite agreement? Itergleeson's independence is permitted by the laws of the Republic, and you didn't do your homework before you came? Or do you feel that you can be lawless when you have your back against the Fan family? Oh yes, I really have to thank the Fan family, if they hadn't been in the way, maybe I would have called you a chief today, but now ......" Morning Star's face turned cold, and his whole body was full of murderous aura and said: "In front of you is the Lord of ItGleeson, owned by ItGleeson, who is protected by the laws of the Republic, and his status is equivalent to the supreme leader of any star sector in the Star Chart of the Republic, do you also want to add a name after my name?" ”

"You!"

"What's wrong with me? The two guards at my door are not good men and women, their loyalty to me is unreserved, I let them die, they will not hesitate to kill themselves with a sword, you say I want to let them carry three lives, what will they do? Morning Star's words began to become sharp and full of threat, and as he spoke, he pointed his fingers back and forth with the bodies of the three people in the room, and the smile on his face looked in Li Xinwei's eyes, like a demon's smile.

"I ...... Please forgive me for my mistakes, Lord Morningstar. ”
