Leaving the Ministry of Commerce, Robin and Martina swept away the gloom they had when they came, and their expressions shone brightly.

None of them expected that things would go so smoothly, let alone that a good personal relationship with Calvin would have such a big effect, that they would be able to auction a mining star that might contain McCenae metal for about a third of the price.

"It really feels like God is helping us!"

Looking back at the towering office building of the Ministry of Commerce, a heartfelt smile appeared on Robin's face. It was as if a big rock in my heart had finally landed, and the originally confusing prospect had begun to become sunny.

"yes, a month ago, I felt like the end of the world had come. And now...... It's like I've been taken to heaven by an angel......" Martina said with a pun on her face.

"Angels?" Robin turned his head to look at Martina and smiled wryly, "If I'm really an angel, then ...... I wish I could be Gabriel......"

“……”

Robin's answer froze Martina's loving heart for a moment.

In the Bible, Gabriel is the archangel who rules over the Seraphs and the Angels of Wisdom, and is responsible for guarding the Garden of Eden. This is a tragic angel who is always in the company of tearing and killing, but is sanctioned by God because of political differences. At this moment, hearing Robin describe herself as Gabriel, Martina's heart couldn't help but feel an indescribable depression, as if Robin would leave her at any time.

"Mr. Robin, Inspector Alfred, Chief of Police at Spaceport Hermes, has just contacted you by telephony, and I hope you will take the time to return to the Spaceport Dockyard now, saying that there is a shipment of supplies waiting for you to sign for it." Just as Martina was about to say something more, Nishizawa suddenly walked over and said.

"Supplies?" Robin couldn't help but look puzzled when he heard this.

Robin had never heard of what he was going to sign for, but since it was Alfred himself, Robin had to go back. However, due to the next bid for the mining rights of Bruno's planet, Robin also had to accompany Martina to the Federal Bank, which suddenly made him a little dilemma in his itinerary.

"I'll go to the bank by myself, and you can go back to the spaceport dock first." Martina didn't want Robin to be embarrassed, so she preemptively said when Robin hesitated.

"You're going to go by yourself?" Robin turned his head to look at Nishizawa and said uneasily: "Now that Gabriel is not here, if you go by yourself, it seems that it is ...... safely"

"No problem, this is Othello, where the army is stationed. And isn't there still Nishizawa? ”

"Yes, and me. You'll rest assured......" Nishizawa patted his fat chest and said with a big grin.

"That'...... All right. After a moment's consideration, Robin nodded in agreement with Martina's suggestion.

…… Half an hour later, Robin hurried back to Othello Star Spaceport. But as soon as he returned to the dock where the TR-735 was moored, he saw a huge police transport ship moored next to it, and the scarred U-2 landing ship was crammed into the small dock like a wounded beast.

"Hey! ~Mr. Robin, you're finally back. ”

Alfrede, who was directing the workers to move and unload the goods, saw Robin with a surprised expression at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him.

While shaking hands with Alfred, Robin looked at the boxes of containers loaded and unloaded from the police transport ship, and asked in confusion: "Inspector Alfred, what are these ......?"

"That's what Governor Brandon meant." Alfred smiled mysteriously, leaned into Robin's ear and said: "With the current financial situation of Roche Logistics, it may be quite difficult to completely repair a U-2 landing ship, and without such a sharp knife, how can you conquer the Ultra Nebula for the Governor?" Therefore, the Governor has specially selected some scrapped equipment from the police logistics department as a gift from the police, hoping to save you the next repair cost. ”

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency! ~" Hearing this, Robin hurriedly walked to the unloaded container, opened it, and his face suddenly turned crimson with excitement: "Mr. Alfred, what do you say...... These are end-of-life equipment? ”

"Yes, scrapped equipment!" Alfred replied with a smile in the affirmative in a muffled voice.

"......"

"These equipment will not be officially used by the police, so they can be disposed of as scrapped equipment." Alfred handed Robin a handover list: "Including 16 'J-9' space shuttles and various U-2 carrier-based weapons, this batch of supplies will be given to you." Hehe...... Our officers can't fly the J-9 to fight criminals, and your men are very good at it, so Your Excellency the Governor is putting it to good use. ”

"The 'J-9' space shuttle and carrier-based armament are available?" When Robin heard this, he was even more shocked and speechless.

"Yes, this batch of shipborne weapons was seized by the police in an arms smuggling case. I have already gone through the formal procedures when I pick it up at the logistics equipment department, so you can use it with confidence. Alverlie was pleased with Robin's surprise, and was impressed by Governor Brandon's private delivery of such supplies.

After all, with the force of the police, it is completely impossible to conquer the Ultra Nebula, which is ruled by Bloody Harry. So, the only way to catch Bloody Harry is to hire strong mercenaries. And Robin and his men's combat performance outside the Othello circle is no less than that of some mercenaries who have been on military missions for a long time. Therefore, being able to capture Robin's allegiance with such a batch of goods piled up in the warehouse will undoubtedly allow the police to save a lot of money financially, and in addition, with the grudge between Robin and Harry, the police do not have to worry about the defection at all, and can even use this small favor to consolidate the relationship with the Byron family. Savoring the many key points, the more Alfred thought about it, the more he realized the brilliance of Governor Brandon.

After carefully reading the list of goods in his hand, Robin couldn't wait to sign his name on the signature column: "Thank you for your generosity, and ask Inspector Alfred to convey your gratitude to Your Excellency the Governor." ”

"Mr. Robin is so gracious......" Alfred took the receipt with a smile on his face, glanced at it, and said in a very casual tone, "By the way, Your Excellency the Governor wants me to ask you about the specific arrangements for the future. I heard that the Byron Heavy Metals Trading Company was interested in bidding for the mining rights of Planet Bruno, which made His Excellency the Governor worry that you would inevitably run out of energy, so ......"

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, that Miss Byron will be solely responsible for the bidding for mining rights. And I am only the logistics company she hired, and now that the goods have been delivered, then I will naturally be responsible for His Excellency the Governor. Hearing the meaning of Alfred's words, Robin immediately made his position clear.

"That couldn't be better." After receiving Robin's clear answer, Alveret couldn't hide the smile on his face: "Then I'll wait for the good news from Mr. Robin, huh...... I have other things to attend to, so ......"

"Since the Inspector has something to do, I won't stay longer." Robin grinned and sent Alfred out of the dock and watched him leave on the police shuttle before turning back to the dock.

"Hey! ~ Robin, oh my god, what the hell did you do last night! How come someone sent so many good things in one night! As soon as Alfred was gone, Lee, who came out of nowhere, shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

The rest of the crew shouted excitedly, and even the usually calm Borg couldn't wait to board the U-2 landing ship and carefully inspect the property, which would be theirs from now on.

"You want us to help him fight, how can you do it without sending some military pay?" Robin looked at the huge U-2 landing ship in the dockyard, smiled and turned back, "Where is Cecilia, I have something to tell her." ”

"She's in the cargo hold, helping to count the goods that have arrived." Li looked at the 'J-9' space shuttles that were dragged into the cargo hold without blinking, and replied without raising his head.

Leaving Lee and the rest of the crew to help carry the cargo, Robin took the elevator into the ship's cabin and found Cecilia counting the cargo in the cargo hold full of containers.

"Cecilia, after the cargo is loaded, you take everyone back to the Octopus space station first." After finding Cecilia, Robin was straightforward about his intentions.

"What about you?" Cecilia looked back at Robin in surprise, "You want to stay?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to stay and bid with Martina for the mining rights on Planet Bruno. This time, I have a good chance of getting the mining rights, so I might want to stay at Othello for a while. ”

"Then I'll stay with you."

"No, you'll have to drive these two boats back with Borg. The U-2 landing ship and other J-9 space shuttle armament must be completed in our space station, and now that time is pressing, we must seize all the time to make pre-war preparations. After looking down and thinking about it, Robin instructed again: "After returning to the Octopus space station, you ask Lieutenant Barron to drive his AT-056 ship over, and then call Christine together, I need him in some places." ”

Seeing that Robin had already made a careful plan for the next arrangement, Cecilia did not insist on staying. As the flagship captain of the fleet, she also understands the grim situation she is facing and the pressure on Robin's shoulders, although she is still a little worried about the ambiguous relationship between Robin and Martina, she does not want to become a burden to Robin at such a moment.
