Chapter 132: Battle Clouds Gather (1)

After saying goodbye to Calvin, Robin found a hotel in the Las Vegas area of Othello, and planned to stay in Othello for a few more days, and then return to the autonomous region to arrange corresponding countermeasures when things are generally clear. (Vertex Hand Hit)

At this moment, half-lying on the comfortable couch, Robin recalls over and over what Calvin said to him on the way.

Truth be told, Calvin's astonishing insight made Robin feel like he was struggling to understand something, and some things that he couldn't understand in the past have now been answered reasonably. While most of these answers are still in Calvin's personal speculation stage, Robin's personal perception suggests that they are likely to be true.

However, the Hoffman Empire's sudden attack on the Barnard system still made Robin feel that there were many suspicions hidden in it. After all, with the incredible strength of the Empire's infantry regiment that can defeat the defenders of the Barnard system, it seems that the Marquis of the Empire can take back this territory that belongs to him at any time.

From the perspective of a politician, Calvin may think that the timing chosen by the Marquis of the Empire is very reasonable, but from the perspective of Robin, a warrior, he has come to a result that is obviously not the case.

Calvin wasn't a soldier, so he didn't know how detailed battle plans and intelligence investigations against the enemy were needed to send out a force. Even if only one regiment is dispatched, there is a considerable amount of preparation work required behind this battle plan. If the Imperial Marquis really turned a blind eye to the lost territory and just let an army unit be on standby at any time, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness was, it would be impossible to capture the main station of the Federation defenders so accurately, let alone borrow many underground fortifications that could resist space railguns in every military operation, and even how to make a landing ship mysteriously evade the blockade of the Federation patrol fleet would require many attempts and field investigations. In other words, any military operation requires careful planning, and it is simply impossible to make changes at any time according to the dynamics of the enemy. Moreover, the turmoil that swept the federal political scene had only just begun, and before most of the people of the Federation knew it, the Imperial Marquis had already made a substantial military operation, which was too fast for Robin.

"Could it be that the Marquis of the Empire is also part of Ansel's plan?"

Uncontrollably, Robin had such thoughts. After all, the timing of this incident is too accurate, and the destructive power produced is far beyond Calvin's current judgment.

In Calvin's view, the place where the winner is defeated is the political arena. Robin, on the other hand, feels that the final winner will still be the battlefield.

If nothing else, just the fact that Anse Air signed the order with Robin regarding the McCeni metal shows that Anse Air is using the Gemini Knights guarding the Alpha planet as an imaginary enemy. Therefore, an armed coup d'état must be an extremely important part of Ansair's overall plan.

And if the armed coup d'état is considered as the final solution, then the invasion of the Marquis of the Empire can play a decisive role in the success of the Ansel armed coup.

After all, with the strong combat power of the Alpha Praetorian Guard, if Anse Air wants to force Dawson to step down by force, the fleet and military strength mobilized will definitely not be too small. The invasion of the Imperial Marquis could force Dawson to transfer some of the Twin Knights guarding the capital to the Barnard system. As a result, the weakening of the defenders of the capital did not require Anse to devote all of his forces to the Battle of the Capital Circle, and still had the strength to station some of his troops on Othello in case of the return of the Solar System Expeditionary Force. As for sending mercenaries to fight in Barnard's system, on the one hand, it can further strengthen the reputation of the Osvid family among the people, and on the other hand, it can also prevent many mercenaries from taking advantage of the situation to disrupt the stability of Proxima Centauri after the start of the armed coup.

Thus, the regiment of the Marquis of the Empire played a more substantial role in this political upheaval than any other political action. In addition to weakening the garrison of the capital area, its presence also served to stabilize the rear base of the Osvid family. It is precisely because of this that Robin suspects that Anse Air and the Marquis of the Empire are secretly colluding in a partnership.

"Maybe Anse El has even calculated this trick for me......"

Thinking of the army that he had already reorganized in the Charon Fortress, it was clear that at some moment, the existence of this military force was enough to threaten the safety of the Northern Star Field. Therefore, sending unfettered mercenaries to fight in Barnard is a smart move to greatly increase the safety factor of Proxima Centauri.

"Fighting for the Federation? What a huge irony ......"

The thought that he might have to go to Barnard to defend the Union territory in the future made Robin's head swell.

As a soldier of the Republic, such an act is undoubtedly a disgrace, but if you refuse the forced call of the federal military, you will completely expose your intentions, which will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the developing Ultra Nebula.

"At present, we can only take one step at a time." With a long breath, Robin put aside the cluttered thoughts in his head and prepared to contact Eugene? Mellon, talk about the next steps on that deal.

At the moment, Anse Air is seriously injured and dying, Eugene? Mellon has undoubtedly become the main player in the big league. In this case, Robin felt the need to talk to him about the deal in detail, after all, the two undelivered technologies in the deal were also a huge boost to the development of the fleet, and Robin didn't want the next two technologies of the deal to be ruined by the attack on Anse Els.

Dialed Eugene with his own personal communicator? Mellon's secret communication channel, a three-dimensional projection that unfolds in a fan, appears in front of Robin. And among them, in addition to presenting Eugene? In addition to Mellon's image, you can vaguely see the venue he is in now.

"Looks like I'm disturbing you, Mr. Mellon." Glancing at the warehouse-like place in the projection, Robin said in an apologetic tone.

"I thought you would contact me earlier, but I didn't expect you to be so calm." Eugene glanced at Robin with deep meaning and sneered: "You should be worried about that transaction, right?" Afraid that the deal will be forced to terminate due to the sudden attack on Ansel? ”

"Yes." Robin nodded bluntly, "I think my concern is understandable. ”

In the picture, Eugene casually threw a list of things to the attendant at hand, and turned his head to look at Robin: "That's right, if something like this happens, everyone will be upset, after all, this is a big business." ”

"So, can Mr. Mellon give me an accurate answer?"

"Of course, this deal is what I negotiated with you, and although you are smart enough to guess that the person in charge behind it is Ansel, this deal is handled directly by me." Eugene? After Mellon finished taking care of his personal affairs, he looked back at Robin: "Actually, your worries are completely unnecessary, of course this deal will continue." We've signed the contract, and the Mellon family never breaks the contract. ”

This answer Robin had expected a long time ago, but at the moment to hear Eugene? Mellon's personal reply, Robin still unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your reply is a lot more reassuring to me. By the way, according to the contract, I need to deliver the third shipment in twenty days, and now that the last batch of Myceni metal is ready, I hope to complete the delivery of this contract with you ahead of schedule, if possible. ”

"Looks like you're still not at ease." Eugene laughed a few times and nodded, "Since you ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
