Rukia and her cousin Bivis? The conversation between DuPont went smoothly, and it went much more than Robin expected.

Almost immediately after Rucia finished talking about the current H-2 research base, and showed off the six corpses of Imperial infantry killed by Robin, as well as the progress of the ongoing clone project, Bivis? DuPont decisively asked for a direct dialogue with Robin and began to discuss deeper cooperation between the two sides.

Robin asks Rucia to come forward and contact Bivis? Dupont's purpose is not to hope that she will complete the entire negotiation process on his behalf, his original intention is just to borrow Lucia's identity to indirectly influence Bivis? DuPont, enhance its own persuasiveness from the side. He had expected that this process would not make substantial progress for a long time, but he did not estimate that Bivis? DuPont's current anxiety has been a huge boost to the negotiation process.

Currently, Bivis? DuPont is extremely worried about his performance appraisal and future prospects in the family, so when Rukia vaguely reveals her intention to cooperate on behalf of Robin, Bivis? DuPont immediately sniffed a turnaround and decided to start a substantive cooperation with Robin.

Compared to a pure technician like Rukia, Bivis? DuPont is positioned within the family as the operator of the project, working for the DuPont family as a politician as the family's spokesperson. Therefore, his understanding of the direction of family planning is far better than that of Rukia, who does not ask about the world and concentrates on research.

As one of the participants in the meeting of the Hermes giants, the DuPont family is well known for assisting the Osvid family in participating in the coup d'état. The top members of the DuPont family have even been given a general idea of the specific plans for the coup and the possible future changes in the situation.

After the federal Congress officially launched impeachment proceedings against Federal President Dawson, the defeat of the Rex family, represented by Dawson, has become a foregone conclusion. So to the door of the plug? The family rights holders led by DuPont have no intention of operating untapped family industries such as Planet Wendini, and they spend their main energy on the coup d'état, trying to obtain a real aristocratic status through the coup d'état, in exchange for the family's prosperity and prosperity for the next hundred years.

Giving up part of the family business in exchange for the smooth implementation of the coup d'état was the basic consensus reached by the nine giants of the Hermes Giants. Therefore, the high-level officials of the DuPont family have long acquiesced to the failure of Wendini's operation.

However, the failure of the high-level acquiescence does not mean that Bivis is the project operator? DuPont will not be affected. If you think about your own future, how to keep the Wendini planet project going without affecting the smooth implementation of the coup plan is the biggest guarantee for stabilizing the family's position. And the appearance of Robin, and the propensity he proposes to cooperate, happens to make Beavis? DuPont sees hope for a reversal.

As Robin had speculated not long ago, the Imperial Army's counteroffensive at a time of political turmoil in the Confederation was in fact one of the many elements of the Hermes Lords' plans. As the advocate and leader of the coup, Ansair has always had a close relationship with the Marquis of the Hoffman Empire, and even more than a year ago, the Morgan family was able to capture the Barnard system at any cost, and Ansel played a role behind it, with the purpose of using the Barnard system as an excuse to get the federal president to agree to Osvid II's first solar system expedition.

During the Hermes Giants' Conference, Anse El accurately informed the Imperial Army that it would soon attack the Barnard system, using the disadvantage of the Solar System Expeditionary Force and the fall of the Barnard system as a political stain on Dawson's reign. and accurately predicted Dawson's countermeasures, planning to severely damage the Twin Knights who reinforced the planet Wendini after Dawson's troops, in an attempt to further shake Dawson's political influence with such a failure.

Therefore, the military defeat of the Federation on the planet Wendini will be inevitable, and the industries of the major families in the Barnard system will inevitably be affected. Among them, the Morgan family and the Dupont family, which operate the planet Wendini as an important industry, will lose the most.

And to refine this loss down to the individual, then Alva? Morgan and Beavis? DuPont's personal position became extremely awkward. Before the coup d'état, they were running important projects within the family, and if there were no current changes, it would only take four to five years for them to become the most important project operators in the family, and they would have become one of the most authoritative voices in the family. But now, after a major change in the family's strategic approach, all ongoing projects need to make way for the family's strategic plan. As a result, what was originally an important project has become a hot potato today, and the originally bright future has fallen to the valley like a roller coaster.

Alva? Morgan has accepted this fate, and all the plans he is making so far are trying to squeeze the Barnard system as much as possible while it has not yet fallen. He tried his best to maneuver between the accusations of the plutocracy, and with Antoine? Arthur reached an agreement, taking advantage of the fact that Congress still had hope for the Barnard system and was willing to spend a large amount of military spending, as much as possible to use the frequent change of guards of the stationed soldiers to defraud the military department of military expenses, and use this disgraceful means to eat empty salaries, sell military supplies privately, and raise the price of living materials on the space station to squeeze out the last pot of gold in the Barnard system, and use this to earn impression points, so that he will not be abandoned by his family after the failure of the big project of the Barnard system.

Beavis? DuPont vs Alva? Morgan's dirty business is very clear, and he was even envious for a while, because he has no real power in his hands, he can't be as unscrupulous as Alva, so he can only hope that several research rooms in the H-2 scientific research base can produce some research results before the fall of Planet Wendini, and it is precisely because of this intention that he did not evacuate the personnel and materials of the H-2 scientific research base, and was ready to use this as a bet, betting that Rukia can beat time and create a miracle for him.

It was precisely because of this hope that when the news of the fall of the H-2 scientific research base reached his ears, he was so desperate that he did not hesitate to fight Alva in the parliament? Morgan turned his face directly.

Before receiving Rukia's communication, he was even in ashes, and it was Rukia's communication that rekindled his hope. After engaging in a direct conversation with Robin, learning of Robin's intentions and his promises, Beavis? DuPont immediately chose to work with Robin without hesitation.

Robin wants to get his hands on the planet Wendini and the Barnard system, which sounds like it conflicts with the results of the negotiations at the Giants' meeting. But in fact, the negotiation plan of the Giants Conference did not explicitly state that the Barnard system would be completely abandoned. All Anse El wanted was the result of the heavy losses of the five additional Gemini Knights combat team sent by Dawson, and as long as this goal was accomplished, the plan would be considered a success. As for the fall of Planet Wendini, it is just that everyone feels that it is an inevitable result after the defeat of the Federation military.

If Robin's promise was true, and if he could still be able to defend Wendini on his own after the Knights of the Gemini were destroyed and the Federation headquarters retreated, then it would be a happy ending. Because at that time, the Giants had already received favorable evidence of Dawson's decision-making error, and it would undoubtedly be the best outcome if they could avoid losing the Barnard system while getting the evidence. And Robin needs Bivas? What DuPont did was nothing more than Alva? Morgan and his Morgan family kicked out, saying that it would be enough to move the DuPont family to fully support their enjoyment of the administrative and military authority of the autonomous region.

Of course, judging from the current situation, Robin's promise is a bit fantastical. At least no one in the Federation would believe that an Imperial Army that even the Knights of the Gemini could handle could be dealt with by a single mercenary.

But the six corpses of the Imperial Army, as well as the warships that were hovering in the star field under Robin's command, were given to Bivis? DuPont strong confidence. He believed that Robin was a man who could work miracles, and that if he pressed on him, he might reap unimaginable rewards. And even if Robin fails and doesn't fulfill his promise, what about Bivas? The situation of DuPont is unlikely to be worse than it is now, and it is only abandoned by the family hierarchy.

Do you choose a ship that is destined to sink, or a ship that is likely to sink but also float to the other side?

Between the two, I'm afraid every normal person can easily make a choice. As for Alva? Morgan's shipwreck kicked out, this is completely Bivis? DuPont was within his reach, and even after he had just finished the call with Robin, he had already had a fairly feasible plan in his head......

At the same time, deep in the forests of the vast Mantejo Plains of the planet Wendini, a simple marching camp tent with a miniature canopy is quietly hiding in the dense woods, while nearly a hundred Imperial knights equipped with Type 3 armor are like hunters lurking in the dark, quietly hiding everywhere to serve as guards.

This is where the main force of the Imperial Army lies, and they are located less than seventy kilometers away from the H-1 military fortress of the Federation, and in terms of the effective detection area of the military radar within a radius of 100 kilometers, they are simply encamped under the nose of the fortress.

"Your Excellency, it's time for our plans to get started."

In the tent, a knight equipped with Type 3 armor suddenly took off his helmet, revealing beautiful blonde hair and a dazzlingly handsome face.

If Robin had stood here at this moment, he would have been surprised to call out Ansel's name, but the Imperial Baron sitting in front of him called him by another name.

"A095, the next time we meet, maybe I can call you by a more formal name." The baron, wearing the eight-legged horse coat of arms, raised his glass to the 'Ansel': "When the time comes, I hope that the Marquis will still appoint you to my command." ”

"Lord Vernal, it is my pleasure to receive your appreciation, and I am happy to serve you if Lord Marquis allows it." The 'Ansel' gave an Imperial salute to Baron Vernal and turned to leave.

"Hmph...... Insidious replicant ......"

In the tent, Baron Vernal smiled disdainfully, turned his head to look at the three-dimensional map on the low table, which accurately marked the landmarks.

As an up-and-coming nobleman who has just returned from a campaign in the extragalactic galaxy and obtained the title of nobility, Baron Vernal chooses to join the powerful Marquis of Timos, hoping to become the Marquis of Timos's right-hand man. The generous Marquis of Timos accepted him and lent him an army to cooperate with a nobleman of the Raymond Federation in carrying out a plan in which the captured planet of Wendiney would be a reward for Baron Vernal's personal domain.

In Baron Vernal's eyes, the Raymond Federation is a fragile country, and even the Knights of the Twin Stars, which they are proud of, are just a group of rookies who have just learned how to fight. This time, he set foot on the planet Wendini with nearly 1,700 cavalry, and if he wanted to, he could even sweep through all the Federation's troops stationed here in a single day, and as for the five battle squads of the Twin Knights that airdropped reinforcements, he didn't care at all.

However, the replicant A095, who had been appointed by the Marquis of Timos as his staff officer, had a different opinion than he did. He devised an extremely complex battle plan that slowed down the army's offensive and allowed the main force to be reduced to pieces and ambush reinforcements in the jungle, creating the illusion that logistics supply lines were tight. And use this as bait to lure the five Twin Star Knights combat team to take the bait, and then gather superior forces to wipe them out.

If you look at the tactics alone, this is undoubtedly an ingenious tactic that is interlocking. Baron Vernal, however, always felt that it was too cumbersome to carry out this tactic. In his opinion, it is the most straightforward and direct way to directly bulldoze the thirteen gathering places in one go, so although he doesn't say anything about the plan of replicant A095, he is quite disdainful in his heart.

And just as he stared at the five Federation bases marked on the three-dimensional map, he hesitated to feint on one of them. A replicant cavalry suddenly burst into the tent and saluted respectfully, "My lord, we have a combat squad missing. ”

"Missing?" Baron Vernal was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's impossible for the Federal Army and those mercenaries to have the strength to eat one of my combat squads, so to speak...... Could it be that the replicant's plan failed? The knights of the Knights of the Twin Stars didn't plan to attack my logistical supply lines, but were lurking nearby, ready to carry out the decapitation? ”

"My lord, the area where that team disappeared is near the H-2 research base."

Hearing this, Baron Vernal immediately turned his attention to the area where the H-2 base was located on the map, and said to himself: "We have no military forces in that area. To put it this way...... Where are those Twin Knights actually lurking? And the cavalry squad that chased and killed the mercenaries should have bumped into them by chance before they were killed. ”

"That'...... My lord, am I going to call the AO95 chief back? ”

"No need." Baron Vernal shook his head and laughed: "Five battle squads, even if they all come, there are only thirty or forty people, and our existing troops are enough to exterminate them." As for AO95...... Hum...... There's nothing wrong with letting him be a fool for a while"V! ~！
