Blue stars glow hundreds of millions of kilometers away, and a sudden twist occurs in the silent depths, and a pile of metal warships emerges out of nowhere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boss, target K23 jump action complete."

"Good work. Nadezhda, the changing of the guard will be done in half an hour, we still have a lot of things to do. ”

"Understood."

The time spent at the K11 station was too long, which made Pan Wen a little uncomfortable with the continuous hyperspace maneuver, and rested for a few minutes, waiting for the preliminary information around the area to gather before starting the fleet meeting.

"Your fleet is fine."

"Checking in, it should be fine." "Our fleet is in good condition." ……

"Okay, let's follow the fleet and gradually enter the low-speed cruise, and then it's up to the Nar consortium."

At this time, Pan Wen left K11 and ran to K23 with the representative fleets of various consortia and companies, specifically to make money and earn prestige.

The activation of the K30 swarm led to the emergence of **** on the right wing of the KT cluster almost within a few days, not only in the areas that have been infected by the swarm, but also in the galaxy numbered within 20.

Pan Wen, who has been in K11 for a long time, judged for the first time that there would be a short gap before the two groups of insect swarm forces were closer.

With the intelligence support of mercenaries, the empire and the federation are no longer defensive and passive defense against the swarm, and a plate-level strike on the planets where the swarm may exist will reduce the speed at which the swarm gathers strength, and it is difficult for the swarm to quickly increase its strength in the short term, the best way is to wait for the tentacles of the k30 swarm to touch the interstellar bridge.

On the other hand, the panic caused by the K30 swarm will lead to greater support for K11 by some civilian and official forces on the front line from K12 to K27 to ensure that the strategic retreat route is not cut off, which has nothing to do with whether they have the confidence to counterattack the K30 swarm, but is only the inevitable result of considering the balance between attack and defense.

Pan Wen, who made the judgment, did not hesitate, and immediately negotiated with various consortia and companies in the K11 self-defense resistance force for several days, so there was a scene where he led the team to K23.

Interestingly, as a former great pirate, Pan Wen led the fleet to approach the K30 swarm infection area this time, but he came to fight against pirates!

Pan Vyn had never considered himself a loyal member of a faction, and his status as an Awakened had taught him that balance was all that mattered.

While the appearance of the K30 swarm has caused panic to spread on a large scale and attracted official forces, the decline in official enforcement will give rise to new pirate interest groups, and after the new pirate interest groups gradually expand, the official forces of small and medium-sized countries will be greatly contained, and they will not be able to truly unite all their forces to counterattack the swarm.

This means that the new pirate interest group will actually become an accomplice of the K30 swarm sweeping through the right wing of the KT star cluster, and its evil influence is far greater than that of the pirate consortium of Segeis, which has a relatively complete system and tends to underground trade, and is a group that must be suppressed or even eliminated.

In this anti-piracy operation, Pan Van persuaded other members of the self-defense resistance forces to participate, also using interests to stimulate.

The consortia and companies that remain in K11 are either difficult to sell in big businesses, or very conservative businessmen, or they are stingy, and these groups prefer the latter in the choice of security and business interests. With data to illustrate, it can be understood that the average businessman will risk his life for 200% of the benefits, and the 50% benefit of these guys who are still in K11 is enough for them to give up thinking about security!

Pan Wen only provided a small number of combat records and analyzed the direction of the right wing of the KT cluster with them, which was enough for them to see the golden mountains swimming in space, and they did not come to K23 until today, mainly because all parties had to deal with some details.

With the support of interest groups and the banner of anti-piracy, Pan Van did not have to worry about mercenaries hanging behind him and taking advantage of the opportunity to fight him, although the efficiency of obtaining loot would decrease due to the increase in the size of the fleet, but at least it was a happy situation for all parties - except for the new pirates who were about to be attacked by foreign forces.

The first stop is also a bit particular about K23, there is only one resident star in the entire galaxy of K23 with a very poor environment and size, and the population is not even one-tenth of the average resident star, which is less than one billion. While the need for inhabitants is low, K23 has two space trade bases and the largest asteroid belt in the region. The garrison is not strong, the good trade environment, the complex combat environment foundation, if you add the threat brought by the swarm, it is a natural breeding ground for pirates, in fact, it used to be an area where there were more sporadic pirates who did not obey the constraints of Segeis.

The Nar Consortium, which is responsible for obtaining anti-piracy negotiations from local authorities, is a multinational consortium, and D23 is their birthplace, which should be the most suitable choice among K11's many companies and consortiums.

The Nar consortium did not disappoint anyone, or deliberately showed their local influence in front of everyone, and the fleet did not receive any criticism from the local official fleet during the ten or so hours of low-speed cruising in the inner circle of the asteroid belt, except for a few routine route checks.

After just over ten hours, the ship of the Nar Consortium entered the fleet with an official communication ship, and issued local access keys to all ships, with the certificate, as long as they did not attack legitimate ships and facilities, no one would take care of any action in the region, and at the same time, they could use the local airport and satellite base for replenishment.

The most important reason why the local authorities are so efficient, in addition to the influence of the Nar Consortium in the local area, is that this foreign fleet has indeed solved their urgent needs.

Last week's sudden attack of the swarm did not leak on a large scale under the control of the parties involved, but the officials of the surrounding countries also learned about some of the battle conditions at that time through their own channels, and only a small part of the fleets of the countries involved were transferred out to encircle and suppress K30, and the remaining fleets all suffered heavy losses after the swarm was swept away, and two of the unlucky entire galaxy defense fleets were wiped out.

In the face of such a powerful force deterrence, even if the country to which K23 belongs does not belong to a jump hunting circle of K30, it is also facing very strong defensive pressure. K23 due to the inferior quality of the resident star, the lack of domestic demand, which in turn leads to a weak economy, unable to maintain a large official fleet. After being frightened by the swarm, some civilian armed forces began to choose their own back roads, which even reduced the overall armed force.

Now there are fleets represented by local consortia that are willing to do anti-piracy work, and they can't ask for it, so that the official armed forces can be more concentrated, whether it is for the next alliance defense negotiations or to prevent the possible use of the swarm to jump raids on the capital system.

There is also an important factor in it, which is the corruption of the official fleet. As long as the loot is not allowed on the ship, by adjusting the orbit movement of the loot and leaving the coordinates, even if there are some variables, nine times out of ten the loot will flow into private hands without any handle, and the result is that the official fleet anti-piracy will not bring dividends to the official, and the fuel fee will not be earned. With such an anti-piracy result, the political and economic management systems that stand alone in the military will not feel that handing over the anti-piracy work to outsiders will cause the country to lose benefits, and even if the army has any opinions, as soon as the situation here is reported, at least half of them will be transferred to the capital star district, and the rest must mainly protect the resident star and the mineral star, and have no time to do anything else.

Back to the anti-pirate fleet itself from K11. The stealth ability of the insect swarm faced by K11 is too strong, in order to protect everyone's industry, the civilian armed forces are inseparable from the protection of the hyperspace reconnaissance mechanism, after Pan Wen contacted the other vigilance fleet managers, he was only led by his own fleet, so there are only two ships in the entire fleet, the Gold and the Diamond, which have a hyperspace information integrated system.

However, even if Doris's fleet has returned, the anti-piracy strategy that can be implemented is still somewhat simple, after obtaining the anti-piracy license, the Doris fleet led by the Diamond and the Panvin fleet led by the Gold each led thirty K11 ships of other forces to patrol and enforce the law at both ends of the asteroid belt.

In addition to the Pan Wen fleet, the 60 frigates of various types that came over this time came from a full 30 companies and consortia, basically killing all the powerful commercial organizations of K11. Dozens of mouths are waiting to share the money, and each group representative will definitely not get too much, and making money itself has become a secondary purpose, and more is to use anti-piracy actions to enhance the tacit understanding of the combined fleet. At the very least, they can get used to Pan Wen's command and combat mode through more battles, so as to avoid major and fatal execution mistakes in the later battles with higher intensity. Of course, there is also a bit of a desire to enhance friendship and tie up interests.

The K30 swarm didn't really rush out to occupy other galaxies, but it was infected, and the K23 pirate activity in the area not directly involved has increased, but the scale is still small, almost like the pirates of MR241 at the start of the Galactic Era, with patrol ships and armed merchant ships as the main combat force, and frigates only account for a small proportion.

Fighting an enemy of this level seems to be losing the identity of a pirate, but the fleet with two sets of hyperspace information integrated systems as the command center can send specific instructions of the team in a large range of one-way without delay, and the efficiency of fighting this kind of small thing is high, and the Gold and Diamond, which match the huge computing power provided by the second intelligent host, can even adapt to the complex environment of the asteroid belt better than other similar warships, and pull the pirates out of it.

Perhaps the melon-eating masses of the resident star will wonder why the foreign civilian fleet is more efficient in fighting pirates than a military fleet of the same size, but this matter is really normal in the eyes of the K11 anti-piracy fleet itself.

The patent of the hyperspace information integrated system was the earliest miniaturized integrated system developed by Titan Heavy Industries for mobile facilities, and even if there are some similar products between other countries and other commercial groups, they are not used by satellites, or they need to be purchased or granted patents, and the cost and technical maturity are not comparable with the products of Titan Heavy Industries. In addition, this technology can indeed carry out reconnaissance, but the accuracy and information integrity are not worth mentioning at all, and the performance is very poor without rich experience in use, and it is far less useful than the reconnaissance circle formed by low-cost reconnaissance aircraft and reconnaissance ships. In addition, the main business scope of Titan Heavy Industry is the MR star cluster, and the internal area of the KT star cluster where the cost and performance of the cottage cannot be guaranteed, the overall reserve of similar types of warships is very low, not every country and every galaxy has it, and K23 is also a representative of weak economic strength in small and medium-sized countries. Not to mention that the leader of the anti-piracy fleet is still a big pirate like Pan Wen, who doesn't know how many bad things he has done, and the whole team has small-scale practical combat experience far beyond that of normal border guards.

Anti-piracy lifeIn the past week, the K11 anti-piracy fleet led by Pan Wen sank a total of 130 pirate ships, damaged and captured 78 pirate ships, recovered 6.22 million tons of looted materials, rescued 230 hostages, and injured 10 fleet ships, with 0 sunk numbers. It must be mentioned that the number of hostages killed in the battle with the pirates far exceeds the number of rescued, as an unofficial anti-piracy fleet, Pan Wen doesn't care about the life or death of the local hostages, and those who can be rescued alive belong to God blessed!

The looted materials and hostages recovered were handed over to the government in batches by the local small fleet of the Nar Consortium, only in exchange for a small amount of gift money for the fleet, barely to amortize the cost of food. The fleet is full of businessmen, and the main reason for such an uneconomical business to be carried out is to maintain a positive image and suppress various objections such as not caring about the safety of hostages.

Although it is more picky, after all, they are all law-abiding businessmen, and they still care about their image, and through the positive image project, the Nar consortium also quickly gained the advantage of negotiating with the authorities, getting local supply discounts for the fleet, and somewhat filling some of the little hearts that have been damaged by less money.

In the past week, the K30 swarm has once again completed the sneak attack and infection operation against a single galaxy, increasing the number of infected galaxies to eight, and the number of resident stars involved has reached fourteen, and the total number of people involved has finally crossed 100 billion!

100 billion, even in the interstellar era, is a number that cannot be hurt, and the cross-level digital growth has finally made the surrounding countries abandon their previous suspicions and put aside their internal struggles, and publicly declare that they will pull out the swarm of K30 no matter what the price is.

Many in the K11 anti-pirate fleet were relieved by the news, and felt that the disaster of the swarm might be over.

Only Pan Wen shook his head secretly, not holding out the slightest hope for this. After collecting information at close range, as well as the side help of the merchant group with local industries in the team, after learning about the entire K30 invasion process, he vaguely felt that the K30 insect swarm might still have internal ghosts among humans! How can you win in a place like the K30, where you don't even know who the enemy is, and who doesn't have a comprehensive overwhelming military force that can ignore all tactics and strategies?
