Chapter 149: Increasing Troops (II)

Less than ten minutes after Robin gave the order, Rukia walked into the base's central command room, accompanied by a soldier.

"Mr. Robin, I think you should understand that it is rude to disturb a lady too often."

Perhaps because the soldier's invitation was too simple and crude, after meeting Robin, Rukia expressed her displeasure with very explicit sarcasm.

"This isn't a chic cocktail salon, so forgive me for not being able to maintain gentlemanly elegance." Robin, who was reviewing the materials, got up and poured a cup of coffee for Lucia, invited to sit down in front of her, and said, "You see, there's great coffee, there's a beautifully decorated natural hot spring, there's a garden, there's an electronic entertainment facility, and there's even a well-manicured rugby field." But...... There are no missiles, plasma cannons, large-caliber weapons, or any air supremacy firepower~"

Rukia knew what Robin meant, but she could only smile helplessly: "This is not a military fortress, but a scientific research base." For the staff working here, proper entertainment can help to be more productive. ”

"Yes, but at the time of my mission, there should be a field company here, as well as a large number of ordnance reserves."

“……”

Hearing Robin say this in a dissatisfied tone, Rukia's eyes suddenly showed a thoughtful look.

Robin knew that Major Algernon, who was in charge of the security of the H-2 station, had left with all the combatants, but now, in this dissatisfied tone, he retold the facts that had already been born, so Robin was undoubtedly sending a signal to Rucia, or the DuPont family behind her.

"I'm sorry for your current situation, I wonder if I can do anything for you?" After a brief silence, Lucia was smart enough to say what Robin wanted to hear.

Apparently, Rucia had already guessed Robin's true purpose. As Robin said, she was a smart woman, as evidenced by the fact that she did not blindly follow Major Algernon out of the H-2 station like everyone else. In addition, after the fighters left, Rucia cut off the station's energy supply system and hid in the geothermal maintenance chamber with everyone.

After all, in terms of the situation at that time, everyone thought that the emperor had attacked. And with the emperor's past actions as a reference, Rukia decisively decided that it was impossible for the emperor to stay for a long time. So, if she cut off the station's energy supply, she would be able to fake the H-2 research base as an abandoned empty city, and with the large number of retreat marks left by Major Algernon's retreat, I'm afraid no one would have thought that there would be a group of people hiding in the geothermal maintenance chamber. If it weren't for the fact that Rukia didn't have enough personal authority to enter the energy supply room through the normal procedures, she wouldn't have left the flaw that Robin had seen through.

On the premise of the emperor's attack on the H-2 scientific research base, the deception arranged by Lucia can undoubtedly ensure personal safety to the greatest extent, and the survival rate is much higher than that of those who follow Major Algernon to leave. Therefore, the woman who can disguise this kind of scam can't be a stupid woman who doesn't know the times, which is one of the important reasons why Robin is confident in convincing her.

"Miss Rucia, as I said before, if I'm going to hold here, then I'm going to need to send more troops and airdrop a lot of military equipment to make a major renovation of the H-2 research station. It's a big investment, and it's even far more than the mercenary money I can get from the military department. Robin stared into Rucia's eyes, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "I have a 100,000-ton U-2 landing ship and a 48,000-ton armed transport ship stuck outside the atmosphere of Planet Wendini, so what I just said will actually be fulfilled right away." But the problem now is that this H-2 station belongs to the property of the DuPont family, and the people assigned by the military department to guard it have long since left. In other words, even if the employer has run away, is it necessary for me, as an employee, to put so much effort into a place that does not belong to me? Well...... I think I should seriously consider whether I should also go with that Algernon to the H-1 military fortress, at least the military equipment there will not be out of my own pocket. ”

“……”

Robin said this in a tone that resembled a joke, but as an audience, Lucia could hear the naked threat of Robin's words.

A 100,000-ton U-2 landing ship and a 48,000-ton armed transport ship cruising in space, Robin is revealing his true military strength to her. Coupled with Robin's proud record of being able to completely annihilate an emperor ** squad with eighteen people, the combat capability of the troops under his command no longer needs to be proven. Now, Robin clearly wants to use the force at his disposal as a bargaining chip to demand payment from the DuPont family.

"On behalf of the DuPont family, I can promise you that the DuPont family will take care of all your military expenses." Lucia replied without hesitation.

"I'm not short of money." Hearing Rucia's promise, Robin leaned back with a disdainful expression, supported his chin with his hand, and said with a slightly playful smile: "I forgot to tell you that my other identity is the Archon of the Ultra Nebula Autonomous Region, so I hope you can understand that money may not be able to impress me." ”

"Governor of the Autonomous Region~"

Hearing Robin's true identity, Lucia finally showed a shocked look. She never imagined that the de facto ruler of an autonomous region would personally go to the front with his army, which was even more unbelievable than the president's private visit in the slums.

Looking at Rucia's glaring green eyes, Robin shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression: "If you don't believe me, you can ask your cousin Bivis?" DuPont confirms this. ”

Since Robin mentions Bivis? Dupont, then it means that Robin is definitely not lying, but this makes Rukia's expression more solemn.

As a member of the Dupont family, even if Rukia has never been involved in family affairs, her daily exposure is enough for her to have the most basic political common sense, and she is no stranger to the power struggle between wealthy families. Therefore, in her opinion, since Robin would personally set foot on the front line and was willing to take such a risk, she must have a plan.

"I ...... I'm just the head of a research lab, and I'm just an ordinary researcher in my family, so I'm afraid I don't have the ability to promise you anything......" Rucia used an honorific to Robin again, but this time there was no irony in it.

"Yes, I know who you are, and I know you can't be like Simon? DuPont gave me that promise. At this point, Robin tapped his finger on the table and reminded, "All I need you to do is cooperate with me, and in return, I will ensure your life, your research, and your future status on the planet Wendini." ”

"The status of the planet Wendini?" Rukia looked puzzled at first, but then came to her senses: "Do you want ......?"

"Yes, what I want is the planet Wendini and the entire Barnard system~" Robin stared at Rucia sharply: "At present, the Barnard system autonomous region is the property of the Morgan family, but ...... This industry is being destroyed by the emperor. At present, the Morgan family has turned its investment focus to another plan, so the Barnard system is no longer so important to the Morgan family, and even something that can be given up at any time, and the federal president Dawson who wants to keep it is already difficult to protect himself. So I'm sure it won't be long before the Union Army will be under political pressure at home ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
