175 Bounty Hunter 6
"It's also a Republic Battleship" Compared to Imperial and Federation warships, Republic warships are rare in the civilian market, fewer people use them, and Claire doesn't know much about them.
"No, this is a heavy cruiser designed by Gustas, very rare, and the biggest feature is to restrain the Federation warship, and neither I nor Wangkwa are sure that we can withstand its attack one-on-one. Isaac actually got such a warship back, and the relationship between them is probably not shallow. For this battleship with a somewhat curved hull, Buck's face was full of dry stools, and he was a little weak before he could face to face.
"How could Gustas Isaac have anything to do with those rabbits!" Claire couldn't help but exclaim.
Gustas is a group of armed groups that operate in the federal border system all year round, and it's right to say it's a pirate, and it's okay to say it's a rebel. But it is fundamentally different from other pirates, smugglers, and mercenary organizations, but it is a bit like Sasha's ideal country, and they all have political demands.
However, Gustas was more specialized and did not want to establish a state or become independent, it only demanded the overthrow of the New Roman Federation, and there was no contradiction with the empire or the republic. In fact, it rarely harasses Imperial and Republic ships, and is rather keen to attack the Federation Navy.
The reason why Gustas blatantly argues with the federal government is not to attract attention by being a maverick, nor is he trying to use the federal navy as a soft persimmon, it is completely for a reason.
As early as more than 30 years ago, the specific point should be the 80th year of the new era, two Federation lads happily joined the Federal Navy as clone pilot graduates and were incorporated into the 30th Frigate Wing.
Articulate, shrewd and eloquent, with a charming smile on her lips, she is called Gila. Letanin. The introverted man who spends his days figuring out the blueprint of the spaceship is called Clark. Kasami.
Leitanen is very good at getting along with people, has excellent flying skills, and has excellent leadership, and within 5 years he has mixed up to the position of squad leader, and his colleagues feel that he should become the next wing commander.
And the technical genius Kasami is not so lucky, his ambition is not to be the captain of the wing, but to enter the federal naval scientific research institute and continue the renovation program of the federal warship.
But on the same day, the two young officers, who were full of hope for the future, broke their hearts together. Leitanen's position as Wing Commander was snatched up by an officer from a large federal family, and Kasami was discovered by the new Wing Captain for causing a ship's malfunction due to unauthorized modification of a Navy frigate, and he still had to report it no matter how he explained it.
At this time, Leitanen and Kasami were panicked, if the top of the Navy knew about this, not only Kasami would be severely punished, but Leitanen would also be to blame, because he was the one who secretly approved Kasami's test.
It's not just Letanin, almost every squad leader in the wing is involved in the ship modification program. They originally thought that Leitanen was the future wing captain, and if they could cooperate with Casami to improve the performance of the battleship, it would be a great achievement, and anyone could share points.
Now not only has the credit not been received, but even the hard work may not be earned, all of which stems from nepotism within the Navy. The more he talked, the more emotional he became, and in the end I didn't know who came up with the idea of defecting.
Clone pilots are not alive anywhere as long as they have a spaceship, it's better than staying in a federal military prison. I think that these junior officers from civilian backgrounds, once they are thrown into prison, they are afraid that their lives will be over, and the best result is to be sent to the expedition team to drive an engineering ship, and live a ghost life with no tomorrow today, worrying and running around, surrounded by either prisoners or villains.
Leitanen showed extraordinary leadership skills at this time, he ostensibly rejected the proposal, but secretly persuaded seven colleagues who could be trusted, quietly drove away seven naval warships, and successfully passed the Gao'an Star Gate inspection, and finally disappeared into the Low-An system.
Two years later, just as everyone had all but forgotten about it and the two daring naval officers, Leitanen and Qasami had gained a foothold in the low-amp system. The two of them not only laid down an airspace, but also recruited many pirates, and announced the establishment of their own force in a high-profile manner, named Gustas.
The name has no practical meaning when translated into the common language of the Federation, but changing it to their native dialect means anarchy. And this is exactly what Gustas aims to do, advocating equality and freedom for all, without the need for a government to dictate him.
At first, Gustas didn't attract too much attention from the federal government, and small groups like this came out like seaweed near the border every day, and it didn't take long for another batch to fall.
But Leta is not a man who rests on his laurels, and he vows to do something that deserves more attention in order to prove to everyone that Gustas is strong.
Four years after Gustas was founded, in the year 101 of the New Era, Leitanen personally went out and kidnapped the gambling ambassador to the Federation, Rulsin Lilo, the gambling ambassador of the Emma Empire, in the entertainment space station of the Verelle system, and successfully obtained a large ransom and then fled.
In addition to the ransom, Leitanen and Qasami also earned respect, from pirates and forces that were also hostile to the federal government, and for a time they were joined by a number of people, not only pirates, but also colleagues from the federal navy. They fully agree with Letanin's ideas and want to overthrow the government, which is made up of rich and powerful people.
As for the name of the rabbit, it was given to Leitanin by the Federation, because his battleship was painted with a hare skull emblem. Casami was relatively low-key and rarely made a public appearance, and slowly this rabbit head became synonymous with Gustas.
"The area where the rabbits are active includes the work area of Isaac's expedition, and if they are not involved with each other, they will not be able to stay for a day. As you may not know, the Gorald family has been using expeditions to deliver supplies to Gustas, and in return, the rabbits will do their best to keep the expedition led by the Gorars safe. So as long as you go to the rabbit-infested galaxy to build a stargate and a space station, no family can compete with the Gora family. ”
On this issue, Buck, who is skilled in technology, has little say, but Vantow, who has managed the space station for many years, knows the inside story better, which may be called a circle.
"Did the Jiarui family do something similar?" Claire knew a little about the relationship between the Gora family and the Sky Snake Group, but it was the first time she had heard that they had a relationship with Gustas. This is the number one hostile organization in the Federation, and it accounts for three of the top ten most wanted criminals, so if you continue to deduce this, your own family is not very clean.
"Mr. Jiarui is not a profit-supremacist, and Yizhuhu Group does not meddle in these industries, so I have not heard of such a thing." Ventois answered Claire's question without much hesitation, and it didn't seem perfunctory.
"When Daley actually takes over, I'm afraid it won't be so clean...... Okay, let's leave their aside, let's talk about whether we can track down Isaac. Buck, you feel a little sure."
For Vantuais's evaluation, Claire is willing to believe that although there are all kinds of conflicts with her father, she really hasn't found that her family has much to do with these criminal syndicates since she was a child.
However, out of her understanding of her brother, Claire feels that this possibility will become more and more likely, and sooner or later, the Yizhuhu Group will also become a member of the profit-first faction, and maybe it will be able to catch up.
"As long as you don't get too close, you can still avoid direct conflict by keeping the distance away from 10AU. I've taken a closer look, and all four of their ships are basically attack, and there are no pure electronic auxiliary ships, which is a weakness that can be exploited. ”
As Buck, who is the best at electronic equipment, a fleet without electronic auxiliary equipment is imperfect, no matter how skilled the individual pilot is, the necessary scientific laws must be observed, and it is irrational to rely on equipment alone, and it is not advisable to rely solely on human confrontation.
Except for Isaac, everyone in this team is estimated to have extraordinary abilities, but they don't have a good balance between people and equipment, and they are not invulnerable.
"It doesn't have to be that close, it's just within a jump. Let's go and overhaul our respective ships now, bring as much equipment as you need, and see you on the platform later! Since Buck said it was possible, Claire no longer hesitated and gave the order cleanly.
