Chapter 56: Trust

In the Near Eastern Star Zone, on the edge of the harbor at the end of winter, a huge fleet of ships is nervously conducting pre-transition inspections. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is also the most dangerous time for interstellar travel. Although this is the sphere of influence of the late winter port, it is already on the edge, and the armed forces of the late winter port cannot guarantee that they will be able to keep an eye on the place.

"It's usually a favorite place for pirates." Qiao Xingyuan paid attention to the radar and asked the head of the family beside him. "Why do you have to be so careful when you get to the source?"

"Probably because this is outside the empire, they can be unscrupulous." Qiao Ye sighed a little, and said helplessly. "We're really embarrassed right now."

The Qiao family has been in the army for generations, and they are cunning and changeable on the battlefield, but they are like knights with stones stuffed in their heads, stubbornly implementing the family motto of "never participating in the civil war".

The people of the Qiao family are loyal and persistent by nature, and the reason why the Federation broke away from the First Empire was because the object of their loyalty was the First Galactic Empire. And now, the Second Empire is full of smoke, and the Qiao family, who is about to be involved in the war, has left the north without hesitation in the face of the call of the bloodline.

Although the intelligence bureau that had managed to dig into the corner of the empire was overjoyed, they did not anticipate a single problem. There are too many people in the Qiao family. 496,982 people, that's just the number of people in the immediate line.

Compared with the direct descendants of the greedy wolf family, who are only seven years old, the Qiao family's five hundred years of recuperation really made the Federal Navy salivate, and also made the Intelligence Bureau feel a headache for their safe evacuation.

In the midst of a heavy ship that looked like a merchant ship mixed in the fleet, a uniformed Falcon and his subordinates, who he hadn't seen for many years, looked at the complex star map with a little confusion.

"There's information that several nearby pirate teams are eyeing us." The strong man in the brown army hat said in a complaining tone. "It is said to be a large pirate regiment equipped with cruisers."

"Cruiser, I wonder if the Angel Union is coming?"

Hayabusa, who was sitting crookedly on the sofa, touched his chin, and a smile appeared on his face that seemed to be forever calm. Looking at the smile on the commander's face, the strong man didn't know what to think of, so he was a little nervous.

A communication comes in suddenly.

"What a coincidence, Blake." On the communication screen, there is an ordinary face. The voice is strangely inaudible to the neutrality of men and women.

"It's just a coincidence, Red." The falcon raised its eyebrows, and defiantly called the other party the most annoying word. Because the two belong to the top of the intelligence bureau, and Hayabusa is their common name, they like to use colors to represent their personal identities.

And about what the other party said, she actually has some doubts. After all, if you just come to intercept those Mimatar people who carry a lot of resources, you don't need to go out yourself, it's too big and too much.

It's just that I didn't expect the Federal Intelligence Agency, which has always been a last resort, to encounter such a serious problem. Luckily or unfortunately, when the Intelligence Bureau searched for a force to support, the Black Falcon was so close.

"That's a coincidence. As long as they can return safely. Red didn't care about Falcon's coldness, but said a little afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Maybe you'll see an ominous black falcon soaring again. ”

"Huh." The falcon just curled the corners of his mouth leisurely. The meaning of the mockery is unmistakable. Even if Rhett was and is now, the authority is above her.

"With that Admiral's pampering of you, it's easy to get forgiveness." Rhett, who was far away on the other side of the universe, thought so, but didn't dare to say it.

As intelligence officers, they know from day one that they should never hope for forgiveness. Because forgiveness and trust are always interdependent, but intelligence officers always seem to lack trust.

In the face of the possible starship army, the possible Emma navy, the Federal Intelligence Service itself has no way to fight against it. The real difficulty of this matter is that the Federal Intelligence Service does not have the right to decide to go to war, and no country or power will recognize the legitimacy of the existence of the Federal Intelligence Service.

However, Hayabusa's current status is different, as the lieutenant of the Grand Admiral of the Federation Navy, she has the right to mobilize the fleet under Lu Lu's command, and she is also qualified to declare war on the fleet of a certain power on Lu Lu's behalf.

Although the original intention of the Intelligence Bureau was only to let Hayabusa borrow this identity to form a deterrent to the starship army that was about to move. However, to put it bluntly, this kind of arbitrary behavior of subordinates will break the trust relationship between the general and the adjutant.

The general does delegate a lot of things to the adjutant, and even when the general has a problem, the adjutant is solely responsible. However, that does not mean that the general will be happy to see his lieutenant override him and use his exclusive rights. What's more, the object who will be used is still the Lulu who likes to be unexpected.

"Received an emergency call from the Federal Number, and the encryption level of the message was too high to be interpreted." The control system of the cruiser, disguised as a merchant ship, prompted it, and Hayabusa immediately stuffed the encrypted message into his personal terminal.

On the screen that popped up on the personal terminal, short text was displayed, and Hayabusa raised an eyebrow and looked at Rhett, who was still communicating, with regret.

"How?"

"Authorized." Hayabusa smiled again with a twisted meaning, causing Red to recall the last time Black's big smile was played.

"My master thinks it's okay for me to just kill all the way through."

The ominous Black Falcon, the Deathwing, the smiling Grim Reaper. Many women with respect or malice are women who represent the pinnacle of calmness and reason.

However, calmness and reason bring absolute suppression of sensibility. It's not that I don't understand, but it's suppressed to nothing. Emotionless human beings are terrible and pathetic. So, she decided to put that terrible self in a cage.

For a long time, the cage that imprisoned some kind of fierce beast has now been opened by someone who carelessly, and casually comes with a gift package for rampage.

"That's terrible." Before Red could think of this, the communication screen had already turned black.

The mission goal of the Falcon is to escort merchant ships to the central system of the Yanhuang Federation. That being said, the only thing that is really dangerous is the voyage from the source to the Commonwealth mainland.

"In short, because of the authorization of the relevant parties, you can make a good fuss." Hayabusa clapped his hands, and after drawing the attention of his subordinates to himself, he didn't put away his smile but said directly. "From now on, I'm going to get busy."

When the North Wind suddenly appeared from the side of the fleet, Qiao Ye was very startled. Although it can only be regarded as a small person among frigates, the piercing scream emitted by the radar makes everyone look sideways.

Like a bird of prey, the North Wind, as the only source of property income for Lulu's private individuals, has always been active in the major waterways over the years, creating a variety of legends.

The same thing that grew as notoriety as the North Wind was, of course, the Bounty of the North Wind. The accumulation of 47.6 billion standard coins did not make bounty hunters flock to it, but made countless merchants fearful from now on. Later, almost all of the merchant fleets that saw the North Wind chose to pay the ransom, with some exceptions choosing to abandon the ship without hesitation.

The North Wind didn't stay long, just a light turn, a jump. Qiao Ye, who was particularly sensitive to time, was secretly surprised by the jump speed of the North Wind. The North Wind, which has the title of the fastest north wind, has a completely out-of-specification anomaly in the speed of the jump.

"That level of flexibility, sure enough, is the North Wind." Qiao Ye's pupils couldn't help but constrict. "The rumors seem to be correct, and Deathwing is indeed under that man's hands. This time, I don't know how many people will look at Blackwing and cry. ”

Of course, Hayabusa knew that the appearance of the North Wind would be a great shock to the merchants along the entire route. Only now she didn't bother to bother with these troubles.

The crew of the North Wind was not large, and all of them combined were only two squads of less than twenty people. There are also very few fighters on board, although they are drones, but there are only five. Despite this, technology from another world is still intimidating to modern technology, and the Boreas' combat effectiveness is still unknown.

Hayabusa didn't know how the North Wind had come here, but Lu Lu's Class A authorization had obviously anticipated the trouble it was going to encounter.

In the relatively small wheelhouse of the North Wind, the falcon's expression was particularly solemn. From the beginning of the port at the end of winter, all the way to the hinterland of the Federation, even a military starship needs to complete at least two hundred and forty-seven jumps. If you disguise yourself as a merchant fleet, you will need to complete more than three times the number of jumps from the previous number.

In other words, at least 700 jumps would mean that the fleet would be close to more than 700 galaxies. These galaxies are friendly and hostile. More often than not, they dock in barren galaxies.

This is a dangerous voyage for any merchant fleet. Not to mention that this fleet has a certain empire, a figure that certain forces must obliterate.

In addition to the family system implemented by the Emma Empire, they have fully comprehended the power of the major families of the Yanhuang Federation, and they may be happy to participate in this hunt.

In addition to the pirate groups that are under the control of the Galactic Empire or the Emma Empire, the biggest trouble is the Modreno mercenary group active in the Near East Star Zone. These mercenaries are not criminal pirates, but they are not so law-abiding.

Mordereno, if it were them, they would be careful to double insure. Although his opponent looked a little too strong, Hayabusa was not intimidated.

On the contrary, Modreno is likely to be removed this time. After all, it was not the commander of the Tenth Air Army, nor the adjutant of some Grand Admiral, who was here at this moment, but the most notorious agent of the Federal Intelligence Service in modern times. (To be continued.) )
