Chen Fang secretly scolded the old fox and said: "As long as you sell the crystal oil to me at the right price, the rest has nothing to do with you, maybe you are not lying, except for your processing plant, Cardolan can't find anyone else to buy crystal oil, but apart from us, you can't find any other buyer, either sell the crystal oil to us, or break it up, you decide for yourself." ”

Old William couldn't help but secretly marvel at the fact that this young man could still be calm and calm in the unfavorable situation, his tone was very strict, and he even turned to blackmail himself, this method was impressive, and many years of experience made him not surprised, and said calmly: "I need time to think about it, and I'll give you an answer later." ”

A dark battle without gunpowder ended immediately, and when he left, Shen Jun was still in the clouds, both sides were silent, and he didn't see the slightest hint of the doorway, this was the first time that his father entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and it was also the only chance to stay in Cardolan, he was more anxious than anyone else.

"Can this be done?" On the way back to the manor, Shen Jun asked anxiously.

"If you're worried that William Sr. won't sell crystal oil, then you don't have to." Chen Fang was also muttering, the treacherous and cunning William deliberately delayed maybe to raise the price, or maybe he smelled the smell of huge profits and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but it is impossible to judge at present.

No matter which possibility it is, old William is not a person who can call the shots, the only refinery in Cardolan is unimaginably rich in oil and water, unless he has a strong background, it is definitely not something that commoners can do, and the background of the refinery is at least the upper nobles.

The big deal is not a negotiation can be finalized, it needs repeated temptations, the mall is like a battlefield, sometimes more cruel than the battlefield, Chen Fang knows this well, so he is not short of patience, after returning to the manor, immediately start to collect data.

Boring work is fun in the eyes of data scientists. Many phenomena that seem normal on the surface can be very strange when presented in data.

It can be seen from the galaxy map that the pirates are not intensive, and they have to evade official encirclement and suppression, and they have no spare strength to cut off transportation, and they can block about 20% of the cargo ships at most, and they may not all be successful, and the official ships are not soft persimmons, not only equipped with long-range firepower, but also military escorts, and it is not a problem to send away a small group of pirates that they encounter unexpectedly, unless the pirates are prepared.

The fact is that almost all the official ships transporting crystal oil were wiped out, and there is only one explanation for what happened in Cadolan, someone reported to the pirates, and the cargo ship encountered an ambush by pirates on the way, of course, it was difficult to escape the fate.

The truth is infuriating, but at the same time, it is worth rejoicing, knowing this truth, at least the success of the oil trafficking is a little more certain, as long as you avoid the eyes and ears of the pirates, there is an eighty percent chance that the oil will be shipped out, and the biggest difficulty is how to find the traitor.

There are not many people who know the delivery time of the cargo ship, first of all, the officials, who are not only familiar with the departure time of the cargo ship, but also know the transportation route clearly. However, not long ago, the official withdrawal from Cardolan, the data showed that the cargo ships of the two chaebols were also tragically looted by pirates.

The suspicion gradually focused on the head of old William, the crystal oil was purchased from his hands, of course he could calculate the departure time, but it was not good for him to cut off the transportation line of Cardolan, if the transportation was smooth, his factory was a super money printing machine, there was no reason to smash his own business, not to mention that his background was an aristocratic nobleman, and it was impossible for him to have anything to do with pirates.

Before making himself suspicious, Chen Fang ended his speculation.

On the third day, when Shen Jun was on the verge of collapse, Old William finally showed up, and he brought good news, the processing plant was willing to sell crystal oil, and the price was also ideal.

Obviously, William Lao knows where the buyer's bottom line is, and he is unwilling to worry about the details, and his performance is full of atmosphere, which is similar to the previous judgment.

"In two days, the oil will be loaded onto your cargo ship." Old William pulled Chen Fang's arm and assured loudly.

Chen Fang was a little vigilant, the old fox still guessed his intention to buy crystal oil, but he couldn't be sure, he deliberately said it might be a temptation, why tempted? Could it be that he is the spy?

Linni silently watched the strange scene, old William's approach was incredible, and he found Chen Fang before he entered the door, calling him a brother and a brother, but turning a blind eye to the main master, the interesting thing is that Shen Jun not only did not care, but he was very cooperative in playing the role of a follower, in fact, he didn't have to play it very similar.

It wasn't until she heard Old William call Chen Fang Brother Shen that she faintly guessed the clue.

Two days later, at the dock, barrels of crystal oil were loaded onto the spacecraft by workers, those were all workers of the refinery, and old William not only knew that a spaceship full of crystal oil was about to set sail, but could even judge the route of the spacecraft from the direction of departure, which was a big taboo for escort missions.

As a comrade-in-arms of the mercenary group, Linnie was a little dissatisfied when he finally learned about the plan to smuggle crystal oil, but what really worried him was the safety of this trip.

As soon as the transporters left, the tattered tarpaulin in the distance was lifted, revealing another cargo spaceship, which was not only the same model as the spaceship filled with crystal oil, but also the color and number of the surface.

"Hurry up." In the distance, Shen Jun was busy commanding.

Linnie vaguely guessed the trick and asked, "You're going to use that spaceship to distract the pirates, do you suspect that Cardoran has pirate spies?" ”

"When flopping a poker card, if you turn over an ace, it means that you are lucky, if you turn it twice in a row, it means that your luck is very good, if it turns ten times in a row, it must be cheating." Chen Fang's original intention was to say that there were problems with all incidents that did not meet the probability, and the pirate's luck was a little too much.

Linnie questioned, "Can this trick be fooled by pirates?" ”

Chen Fang explained very seriously: "The route of cannon fodder is the weakest area of the pirate force, it is stuffed with stones, and the weight is not much different from that of a spaceship full of crystal oil, and the most important thing is that it sets sail within ten minutes after loading, and there is nothing suspicious to see, our spaceship will set off in three hours, and it is impossible for them to monitor this side all the time, at that time, the pirates have already rushed to the east side of Cardolan to set up an ambush, even if they detect anything, they can't reach it, we take the west road." ”

"Plus these two little things are foolproof, I used the detector to look for it twice in the warehouse, if you can find another one, you will swallow it immediately." Thunderbee swore a curse and tried to live a lonely life for two weeks, and the feeling of returning to the team was doubly warm, and no matter how bitter it was, it didn't feel bitter.

"Micro locator, it turns out that you also know the plan in advance." Linni said coldly, with a hint of resentment in her surprise, Chen Fang concealed and said the past, even the thunderbolt bee dared not report it.

Thunderbee smiled: "This is hooked in the gap of the oil drum, if it weren't for the detector, it would be really hard to find, well, if this kid asked you to work, you would know." ”

While speaking, the fire ox hurriedly ran from a distance, strong body, covered with dust, like a porter on the dock, helpless, the plan was to be carried out secretly, unreliable people did not dare to use it, Shen Junman found seven people, three of them were still maids in the house, relying on these people to fill the spaceship with stones, that was a wait, and finally the fire ox was also arrested as a laborer.

Seven minutes later, cannon fodder loaded with a cabin full of stones and two miniature locators rose into the sky under the eyes of everyone.

In order to convince the pirates, Chen Fang paid a price, the pirate power in the east of Cardolan was the weakest, while on the west road, it was occupied by the most powerful pirate gang.

This is a pair of veteran pirates, with a long history, whose origins can be traced back to two centuries ago, claimed to have thousands of mechs, and the leader is called the Red Devil, whose identity is unknown, and who led his troops to repel the official encirclement and suppression operation thirteen months ago.

During the voyage, Chen Fang took out the information he had collected and shared.

"Thousands of mechas, repelling the official encirclement and suppression, where is this called piracy? Isn't it a bit hasty to get past their territory? The thunderbolt bee's eyes widened and he questioned on the spot.

The Fire Bull agrees, and provides proof: "Pirates are powerful beings, strong enough to compete with small regimes, and this situation was only broken after the emergence of the Federation, but it was only alleviated, and in the outer lands, piracy is still rampant." ”

Chen Fang was secretly amused by the worries of the two, and interjected: "What is there to be afraid of? We have less than 17 percent chance of encountering pirates, and if we can do so, we can only say that we have a problem with our character, and this kind of adventure is necessary in order to get rid of the eyes and ears of pirates. ”

After a moment, Thunderbolt Bee hesitated, "Personally, I absolutely trust your judgment, but it seems that there is something really wrong with your character. ”

On the detector, the three cursors gradually became clear, and it was heading in the direction of the cargo ship, judging from the area and number of appearances, it could only be a pirate assault boat.

Although Linny was a little proud to see someone make a fool of herself, she still stood in solidarity: "Our strategy is not wrong, this is just a matter of luck, in fact, unless there is an ambush by pirates, there is nothing to worry about." ”

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of character~

The fact that the battle is imminent shows that this team is not weak, as long as there are enough merit points, the strength of the mercenary group will be able to usher in a leap.

After being maintained by the beauty once, Chen Fang was moved and decisively ordered: "Rush over." ”

The conversation and laughter came to an abrupt end.

"Rush over? Is there any mistake? We are cargo ships, so why should we outperform the pirates' assault boats? Besides, we have a full tank of crystal oil, in case we are hit by artillery fire, it is not a joke, we will be the most sacrificial mercenaries in history, these pirates just let me cook with the fire cow, you stay in the ship to watch the show. The thunderbolt bee rolled her eyes and offered to ask.

"Within seventeen hours, we were bound to pass through the Red Devils' territory. The cargo ship was refitted, and the detection range of the early warning system was ten percent higher than that of the pirates, who had not yet detected us at this time, and it was clear by looking at their speed that the assault boats were not charging, they were just cruising. I also added two engines to the ship, which was still not as fast as the assault boat, but it was able to keep the ship moving at high speeds. Although the pirate's assault boat is fast, it can't last, and sending two mechs to harass them can slow them down, and after a long time, it won't be a problem to get rid of them. Chen Fang only explained halfway through, and Linni had already rushed into the cockpit.

Thank you for asking for a ticket
