Chapter 107: The Great Event (I)

In just seven days, the 'City of Chaos' experienced the largest bloodshed since its founding. According to statistics, more than 20,000 people died in this large-scale conflict, and the number of pirates captured exceeded 30,000.

Such a number is several times higher than when Bloody Harry forcibly seized the 'City of Chaos', but it is different from the panic that he suffered at that time. This time, Robin, who occupies the right time, place, and people, has been unanimously recognized by the freedmen, and even if he single-handedly caused such a bloody crime, the freedmen still regard him as a savior, and gladly accept Robin's absolute rule over the 'chaotic capital'.

The original number of 820,000 residents began to decrease rapidly, falling to less than 200,000 in a short period of time, and this number is still declining. After all, after this bloodbath, almost all of the survivors are miners, and miners must go to mining to survive, so no one wants to waste time here, and the most important thing is to go deep into the mining area as soon as possible.

Spaceport Central Command Room.

This spaceport, which originally belonged to the bloody mercenaries, has now completely changed its flag and has become the base of the Charon mercenaries, except for some Marine infantry who were sent out to carry out security patrols, almost all the remaining personnel are stationed here, using this spaceport as a starting point to carry out a large-scale transformation of the 'chaotic city'.

At this moment, standing by the transparent floor-to-ceiling window of the central command room, Robin held a cup of hot black tea and watched as all kinds of spaceships left the honeycomb-shaped launch bay one after another and disappeared into the ethereal cosmic dust in the distance.

"Looks like I'm going to have to get ready to leave." Robin put down his teacup and turned around and asked, "How much fuel and supplies do we have left?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, in terms of supplies, we are much more optimistic than I originally estimated, and the supplies we have stored ourselves have not consumed much, and if they are only used to maintain the regular consumption of the fleet, they should be able to hold out for a while." Jarvis replied without raising his head.

Jarvis's words relieved Robin's worries a little. In fact, when carrying out that plan, Robin's biggest concern was the lack of supplies, because that would inevitably cause widespread panic. However, after the official execution, Robin discovers that the pirates are actually far richer than he thought.

In terms of fuel, Harry the Bloody always fills the fuel tanks of his Knife frigates in order to maintain the frequency of his expeditions. Therefore, after the fuel tank of this 10-million-ton frigate was evacuated, the fuel problem of the 'City of Chaos' was immediately alleviated. After all, most of the freedmen flew miniature ships or large integrated space shuttles, rarely exceeding 5,000 tons in tonnage. And the size of the tonnage is also directly reflected in fuel consumption, in terms of reality, thousands of miniature ships can't catch up with a 10 million-ton frigate, so after the 'knife' frigate is shelved, the fuel problem is no longer a problem that Robin can't solve.

As for the bulk of the supplies, Robin obtained them mainly from the pirate groups residing in the 'City of Chaos'. Due to the early raids of blood type Harry, the pirates are obviously richer than the miners. After defeating their resistance, Robin collected all the supplies they had stockpiled and repaid them to the miners on credit.

In this way, Robin's own consumption of implementing this plan is actually very low, which is equivalent to completing this key resource transition by robbing the rich and helping the poor.

However, this abundance of resources is only temporary. As the population gradually leaves, there is less pressure on our resources, but those who do will soon return, and they will exchange the rare materials they have gathered for the supplies they need. When the time comes, if we fail to fulfill our promises, then we will be a deceiver and the consequences will be dire. Jarvis put down the papers in his hand and added.

"That's right, that's why I'm in a hurry to leave. It is estimated that the first miners will be back in a week, so I have to complete the transportation of supplies before then. Robin smiled: "Moreover, the pirates of more than 30,000 people must also be sent to Bruno to complete the exchange." Aubrey and they've been waiting there for too long, and I have to make the final exchange right away before everything changes. ”

"Change ......" Robin's words made Jarvis frown: "The change you said is ......"

"As I said, I have a hunch that something big is coming, and that one might completely change the situation in Proxima Centauri. I'm worried that the advantage I've built up in the early days will be upended, so before that happens, I'll have to pick up Aubrey and them from Bruno right away. ”

"The situation in Proxima Centauri is ......" Jarvisto nodded after thinking for a long time, "That's right, such a situation is indeed possible. For the Federation, this great upheaval of pirates was an unprecedentedly bad event. According to the past practice of the Federation, after the incident subsides, public opinion will definitely look for a person responsible to take the blame for this incident. ”

With that, Jarvis jerked his head up and looked at Robin with an extremely complicated gaze.

"You should have guessed it, this candidate for the black pot is probably Governor of Police Brandon." Robin sighed: "Almost all of my advantages in the early stage were built up by relying on a good relationship with Brandon, if he becomes the scapegoat for this incident, then everything I have obtained is likely to be dismantled in an instant." ”

"You want to save him?" Yalvis asked tentatively.

"The corpse of Bloody Harry, and the 30,000 pirate captives, may give Brandon some chance to defend himself. As long as we can keep him up for a little longer, we'll get more time to prepare. ”

Yalvis nodded and asked aloud, "When are you going to go?" ”

"Right now."

"Cecilia's TR-735?"

"No, Proxima Centauri is too dangerous right now, I can't let her risk it. I was going to return to the Northern Star Field on Taylor's AT-089 to join Major Barron's AT-056. ”

"A 12,000-ton ship carrying 30,000 prisoners of war? This...... It was too dangerous, and the ship had been converted into a refueling ship, with little to no effective security. ”

"I already controlled the diet of the prisoners of war three days ago, I'm afraid they won't even be able to stand up now, and I'll bring Zhuo Luo and Li, there shouldn't be any big problems in terms of safety." Speaking of this, Robin drank the black tea in the cup in one gulp, and casually threw the cup to Jarvis: "This is up to you, this will be our Marseille Space Fortress, don't lose it." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Robin brought up the Marseille Space Fortress again, which made the usually calm Alveston blush, gritted his teeth and swore: "General, I will never let that scene happen again." I swear! ο½žβ€

…… Othello Star, Ausveld Manor.

In the enchantingly fragrant garden, Ansère sits on a swing in a fancy shirt and a glass of red wine.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

"Is it Vivien?" Leaning back on the comfortable chair of the swing, Anse El asked without looking back, squinting his eyes slightly.

"Yes, young master." Vivien, who had a sultry surname, appeared beside Anse El and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Eugene is here, he ...... He looked very angry. ”

"Eugene?" Anse El opened his eyes suddenly, and laughed: "This friend of mine is always so anxious, it seems that he has not been able to cultivate patience in his life. ”

"Are you making fun of me? Anse Aire. ”

As soon as Ansel finished speaking, Eugene strode towards him.

"No, I'm just stating one thing." Ansel got up with a smile, poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Eugene and said, "You see, there is a winding path in this garden of mine, but every time you come here, you don't pay attention to this path, but just walk in a straight line. Look, you've trampled on a lot of my flowers along the way, and these are varieties that I've cultivated with great difficulty. ”

After taking a sip of the red wine handed by Ansel, Eugene casually tossed the glass: "I don't have time to cater to your elegance, Ansel, that show was messed up, we are now clowns, but you still have time to drink and watch the flowers here?" Don't you think we should do something about it? ”

"What to do? Lead a fleet into the Ultra Nebula? ”

"Shouldn't it be?" Eugene's eyes widened.

"The Ultra Nebula can only allow ships of up to 10 million tons to sail, and the route is only known to Bloody Harry, and our fleet cannot attack there."

"But his frigate has been wounded, and now we can defeat him with a smaller ship."

"There's no need to make such a big fuss, rest assured, someone will deliver the Bloody Harry to us."

"Who? That Alfred? Eugene sneered disdainfully: "He's just a politician who knows how to politics just like the rest of the Rex family." If he had the ability, would he need you to put so much effort into calculating Bloody Harry? ”

"He doesn't have the skills, but the people he hires do."

"Hired people? You mean......"

"Robin, Charon mercenary." Anse El patted Eugene on the shoulder: "What does it mean that the Charon mercenaries only sent one non-combat-capable transport ship to the battle in my decoy plan?" That means he'd already seen that my plan was bait, so ...... Imagine, where did his main force go? ”

"Yes......"

"That's right, he went to Bloody Harry's lair." Anse El smiled and picked a flower bone casually, threw it to Vivien behind him, and while Vivien was very surprised with the flower, he leaned into Eugene's ear and whispered: "That person will bring Bloody Harry to us, so our plan can be implemented now, and that person will be a very important pawn......
