After leaving the casino, the captain did not return to the bar, but led the crowd straight to the pier.

At night, a large ship was quietly anchored outside the harbor, like a steel mountain floating on the sea. Compared with the ships in the harbor, it is not only several times larger in size, but also loaded with a variety of weapons and radar equipment, there are three groups of six artillery pieces alone, and all kinds of Vulcan cannons, rocket launchers, and missile launchers of different sizes are all over the deck.

This is a deep-sea cruiser armed to the teeth, and judging by the length of the hull of more than 100 meters, its displacement is at least tens of thousands of tons.

However, all this is less deterrent than the triangular flags on the conning tower, which are fluttering in the wind. The flags are all pure white, with a green circle and two neat "Hs" painted in the middle.

HH Company, a large global group company, is the largest parts manufacturer and fuel supplier in Beihuang, with gas stations all over the silver city world and branches on all continents.

And this ship is the "Xinghe" of Wu Yue, CEO of the Armed Forces Department of HH Company.

Half an hour later, the captain took everyone in a small boat and boarded the "Xinghe". After identifying himself, he quickly took over the command. Since the Galaxy is much larger than the Beidou and is an armed ship, it is naturally equipped with much more personnel than the deep-sea fishing boat. As a result, the captain retained most of the original manpower and replaced only part of the command level.

During the handover, Feng Yun, the former captain of the Beidou and the current chef, asked the captain in a loud voice: "Where is my Beidou!" ”

"With this big ship, why do you need the Beidou?" As soon as he finished speaking, the captain felt that something was wrong, and immediately corrected, "What is your Beidou, that's mine." ”

"You!" The fat cook's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and the next moment, I saw him trembling his hands, pointing at the captain and scolding, "You scum of deep-sea fishermen, you don't want to forget it yourself, why waste things!" ”

"What do you mean by spoiling things? It's time for the broken ship to sell scrap metal. The captain said with a look of disdain.

"You! I'm going to fight with you! The fat cook shouted excitedly as he raised the big iron spoon.

"Whoo!" With two crisp sounds, two black golden bee stings burst out of the captain's palm.

"Come on, see that I don't kill you." "Wow, wow, wow!" One of them threatened in a deep voice, and the other rushed forward with a spoon.

"Boom!"

With a clang, a bright spark erupted in the darkness. At the moment of the confrontation, the iron spoon flew high, and then with a "bell", it landed on the deck.

"I surrender!" As the iron spoon fell, the fat chef with the bee sting on his neck confessed.

"Old friend......" said the captain, putting away the bee sting, put his arm on the fat cook's shoulder, turned his head to look into the distance, took a deep breath, and then said earnestly, "You should see a little further." ”

"What?" The fat chef asked with a look of horror. Whenever the captain showed such an expression and spoke in such a tone, something very unfortunate happened. He remembered the last time the captain said to him, "Old friend, do you remember your childhood dream of sailing the sea?" "What happened after that was that the hull had cracked dramatically, the engine compartment had been flooded, and the ship was sinking......

"Now, I officially appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Central Sea Fleet." The captain said.

"What......" the fat chef squirmed his lips with difficulty. The captain then told him about HH's plans.

"What does it have to do with me that you repay your love debt, why do you want ......to take me," the fat cook cried innocently. For a deep-sea fisherman, freedom is all there is to life.

"You can disagree, it's your freedom, and I will respect your choice." The captain said empathetically.

"Really?" The fat chef opened his mouth wide and had an expression of disbelief.

"Really." The captain nodded, and then his tone changed, and he lengthened his voice, and continued, "......But," he paused, and said in a deep voice, "I will ask them to sink your ship as soon as they see it." ”

"You ......" "Have you heard an old story?" "What's the story?" "The price of freedom."

"Alas......" the fat cook sighed and asked, "Why the Chubu Sea, and not the Sea of the Heavenly Kings?" ”

"Because the plane gate of the Mirror Sea is in the Central Sea, I need a reliable partner there to ensure our interests." The captain said. In the end, under his coercion and temptation, the former captain of the Beidou finally succumbed.

"Woo......"

About half an hour later, the melodious whistle sounded far away, and the Galaxy slowly turned around, drained the sea, and headed north.

A few days later......

On the morning of Dr3714-5-12, when Iron Slag and the others were on a leisurely vacation at sea, William Reinhardt, one of the three roses of the Temple, William Reinhardt, was escorted by several guards to the Braji Auction House in the Midtown of Central Silver City.

At this moment, the auction hall was crowded and crowded. He is here today to show his affection to his distant cousin, Yugo Lombard.

The Templar rented three of the largest venues in the Braggi auction to auction off her personal belongings. In order to show his heartfelt support, he decided to go to the scene in person and bid in person, which can be described as extremely thoughtful.

Moments later, surrounded by guards and flashing lights of reporters, he walked into the venue and sat in the front row of VIPs. A few minutes later, several good-looking and charming female auctioneers walked into the venue and announced the start of the auction.

In the beginning, the main auction was small objects, such as autographed photos of the princess of the Temple, oil paintings, used pens, worn ornaments, and so on. William bought a few accessories at random, planning to return them to You Ge when he had the chance.

However, when the auction reached its climax, William couldn't help but take a breath when the auctioneer showed off one after another, one of the three roses of the Temple, the white rose, and the personal clothes of Eva Green, known as the "temple brain".

You Ge's finances had reached such a point, but he didn't say a word about him. As lord of Atlantic City, Yugo cannot ask for assistance from his father and mother, as the ownership of Atlantic City has always been disputed, and both Mordryton and Lombard claim legitimate rights. Although You Ge inherited Atlantic City, she has no descendants, and the subsequent inheritance is still ambiguous, so neither side is willing to pay.

Ever since the last time Yugo protested to the Crescent Alliance on behalf of the Reinhardts, he had assumed that Yugo had included them in the category of allies. But now it seems that it was just his wishful thinking, and You Ge had no intention of cooperating at all. Everyone knows that the last thing Reinhardt lacks is money, and as long as she is willing to speak, he will provide a lot of money.

Thinking about it carefully, in the past two months, the great nobles seem to have stopped their financial exchanges with their families, intentionally or unintentionally. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Are they ready to get started?

Thinking about Bi Qinglan's performance that day, he was even more convinced of this. The collaboration between Bi Qing Lan and You Ge is in the honeymoon period, from the resource points of Desert Five and the Mirror Sea, to the construction of Snake City, to the seat of the World Parliament.

The world of Yincheng is a world of turnips and pits. If you want to plant new turnips, you have to uproot the old ones.

So, where did the seat of the Far Eastern Snake Clan come from?

The answer to this question is obvious, as there is a saying in the Far East: persimmons look for soft pinch.

"Hiss......" Thinking of what Bi Qinglan said that day, William couldn't help but take a breath.

This woman is really ruthless......

She hinted that he supported the Remnant of Glory, and that if he did, it would hasten the demise of the House of Reinhardt. Since ancient times, the replacement of the great nobles has taken hundreds of years, and if he takes one wrong step, this time can be shortened to a few years, or even months.

However, her proposal was not entirely unreasonable. It was a big gamble, and if it was won, the Reinhardt family would have risen again, not faded out over the years; If the bet is lost, the replacement time will be greatly shortened.

Could it be that they are planning to let the green snake in the Far East replace the golden lion in the west?

From the perspective of the fundamental interests of the Temple, this is indeed a good move.

Hit the largest conglomerates, and at the same time divide the Far East, killing two birds with one stone. It can weaken both the influence of the Ancient Temple and the influence of the Consortium. With the last trace of threat eliminated, the Temple's position was naturally more secure.

"The customized version of the high-density alloy mechanical power armor is manufactured by the high-end customization department of Harley Industrial Heavy Industry, assembled by RC company, and debugged by the core technology department of Great Wall Company; It is equipped with "King Kong-class" super-density alloy outer armor, "Dreadnought-class" super-density alloy skeleton and engine block, three sets of auxiliary jets, two sets of Harley-Davidson "Volcano" rocket-type fuel thrusters, Harley-Daley-style three-phase power transmission system, and Harley's "Frozen Century" cooling system; The auxiliary equipment includes RC company's customized basic life support system, infrared thermal induction scanner, a small emergency shotgun on the left forearm, and a catapult rope on the right forearm; Due to the use of a large number of super-density alloys, the weight of a full set of mechanical power armor is 47kg, which is 16kg lighter than that of the same type of mechanical power armor; The starting price is 800,000 gold coins, and the price is increased by 30,000 at a time. ”

In the middle of her thoughts, the female auctioneer showed off a set of extremely expensive mechanical power armor.

"Knights of the Wilderness." Although he had never seen it, William quickly guessed the name of this set.

"Isn't anyone interested? This is a highly collectible set of power armor, which is a collection of the efforts of the three major group companies, and the materials used are also extremely expensive. The female shopping guide recommended, but still no one responded to the price

"For the first time, didn't anyone ask for an offer?" Looking at the quiet venue, the female auctioneer asked slightly embarrassed.

"The second time, no one answered?"

"The third time, still no one ......"

In the middle of the sentence, the female auctioneer stopped her voice, because someone raised a sign to make a bid.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and the person who made the offer was none other than William Reinhardt, the first heir to the Reinhardt family.
