Finally returned to his familiar home field, and after sitting down in the office, Morning Star, who had just been hit by Chen You's inadvertent words, regained his spirit and entered the state of negotiation.

"Mr. Chen You, I have roughly communicated with you on the phone before, are you planning to hire a fleet?"

"Yes."

"I want to ask you, what is the approximate size of the fleet? As you know, we don't have many warships in the warehouse, but even if you want to form a fleet of 50 or 60 ships, there will be no problem. ”

More than thirty ships are already big customers, sixty ships is a considerable number, and Morningstar wants to expand the number of ships to negotiate, which is more profitable.

"Four hundred ships." Chen You, who was sitting on the suspension sofa, said indifferently.

"What?" Morningstar's spark jumped, and he thought he had misheard.

"I need to hire a group of 400 ships."

Chenxing folded his hands and looked at Chen You in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.

"You ......" The ionic sparks danced rapidly, and Morning Star kept thinking about the meaning of what Chen You said—the guest in front of him was really too unexpected for him, "Do you mean four hundred?" Not forty, not a hundred, but four hundred? ”

"I thought we could communicate more efficiently."

"I'm so sorry." Morningstar sat up straight, in the body language of the primate, it represented his importance—he had to pay attention, if the guest on the other side was serious, this order would have a huge impact on the company, "Our company's largest employment record is one hundred and twenty main-class warships, and the number you mentioned may set an industry record."

"So I'm very curious, what are you going to do with these four hundred ships?" In the moment just now, Morning Star had already calculated the number of ships on standby, and it was not a problem to gather four hundred ships, but the question was what the captain in front of him wanted so many warships for?

"This mercenary ship group will fight against the evil fleet together with the other more than 1,600 ships I have raised."

Before, Morning Star heard what Chen You said, and his ass might have slipped directly off the chair, but now, he has gradually adapted to the otherworldly context of the visitor, and when he heard the word evil fleet, he didn't show too much rudeness - think about it carefully, the young man in front of him is a god who once killed a ship alone and singled out the king beast, and it is not unusual for him to do these things.

It's just that......

"Mr. Chen You," Morningstar said thoughtfully, he didn't want to offend the legend—after all, even if this deal didn't work out, it would still be possible to cooperate in the future, "There are two most important indicators for the mercenary group to decide whether to go to war or not, one is the 'probability of success', and the other is the 'probability of battle damage'. IMHO, judging from the strength of the Evil Fleet, I don't think these two indicators can meet the standard of the Nine Lives Regiment. ”

We don't fight battles that don't have a chance of winning, no matter how much you bid. Chen You knew that the other party would say this, and he said unhurriedly: "Director Morningstar, I think you know that this is the second evil war, right?" ”

"Yes, I know." Although he was born in this world for a short time as a plasma life, in the year of his birth, he had absorbed most of the knowledge of the Gawain universe into the spark, and of course he knew this kind of common sense.

"I want to ask you, did we lose or win the first evil war?"

Morning Star knew that Chen You wanted to change the concept, so he took a step ahead and said, "Of course we won, otherwise we wouldn't be here." But that is also a huge risk to win, we are a mercenary ship, and a huge risk is something that we must avoid. "The meaning is clear: they are merchants, not the heroic fleet of the Zhixing civilization.

"That is, you have calculated the probability of defeating the Evil Fleet, and this probability is very low?"

Morningstar has such an ability, and naturally has his own calculations: "Of course, although my calculations are crude, it is no problem to discern the basic facts. ”

"Until the facts are really revealed, any calculated result is not a fact. If you are so trusting in the judgment of events by computing power, I want to tell you a very simple fact. ”

"What facts?"

"The ship group I want to hire today is only a small part of the defense fleet, and the largest number of ships in this defense fleet come from the Zhixing fleet."

He didn't lie. There are too many ways for Morningstar to tell if a guest sitting in his office is lying.

"Jisung?" Morningstar's curiosity was aroused.

"That's right. Since I want to cooperate, I will no longer hide it. The number of ships they will send is more than a thousand. ”

"A thousand?!" Naturally, this intelligence Morning Star didn't know, but he could have verified through his own channels after the conversation that it was not necessary for the other party to lie about this matter.

"Do you think your military judgment will be stronger than that of the Zhixing civilization?"

Morningstar was silent, but he noticed that the other party seemed to be waiting for his answer, so he had to shake his head and reply, "No." ”

"It's good that you can answer my questions matter-of-factly." The conversation entered Chen You's rhythm in an instant—after experiencing a lot, he felt that this kind of verbal duel really couldn't make him feel nervous and heartbeat, "The deployment of the 1,000 ships of Zhixing is based on the calculation results of the 'Great Prophet', the strongest computer in the world. You just said that you trust the 'facts' derived from the calculations, so are the facts calculated by the great prophets more credible than yours? ”

There is no doubt that any major transfer decision of the Zhixing Fleet must be calculated and output by the great prophet. If Jisung really wants to make a heavy bet to support Chen You's defense plan, then this decision must have been calculated by the Great Prophet.

This argument alone has already shaken the Morning Star, who originally wanted to send off guests.

Morning Star realized that he could no longer refute it with common sense, so he had to start appealing to his own "feelings" - "sensibility" is the weakness of carbon-based creatures, and appealing to his own feelings can arouse the empathy of the other party and strengthen his position in this way: "Mr. Chen You, even if what you say is true, such a big strategic move, our Nine Lives Group can definitely verify it. However, in the case of one of our mercenary ships, fighting against the evil fleet is really not a rational thing to do, it is crazy, you know, madness will lead to destruction.

"Our most expensive thing is the warship, and if the battleship is 'destroyed', we will have no business to do." Telling the dire consequences as a joke is not so blunt as it underscores one's position - mercenary groups are focused on the probability of success, and they will never be at risk militarily.
