Chapter Fifty-Nine: Their Respective Schemes

It's not that I'm excited, this matter has a lot to do with us! Baba said, "As soon as I heard Huck talk about this, I immediately got in touch with Klaus. Now, the whole Freeport is in turmoil. This is a major event that has never happened in Freeport for so many years! ”

"How big?" Chekov, who was sitting on the fat man's desk looking through the ship's drawings, raised his head and said in confusion: "Isn't it just a folk mecha school that has been robbed, how big is this?" ”

"If you understand the status of these mecha genres in Freeport, you can know how influential this matter is!" Barbarossa walked back and forth in the office: "No one has ever dared to attack a traditional mecha school, this time, the Demon Eye dares to openly do it, and Tailiu dares to control the genre federation to suppress the victim Phantom Stream, which is enough to show that the situation in Mars is starting to go wrong." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing Barbarossa solemn, the fat man finally regained his senses: "You say be specific." What is Tailiu? ”

"Let's put it this way! The mecha genre has always enjoyed supremacy in the free world. Barbarossa sat down on the couch: "People in the free world can't stand any traditional education. As soon as we were born, we lived in this world of the jungle, and criminals and fugitives from all over the world flocked to this safe haven, and every day, here you either hit others or others beat you. If you want to get the basic living space, in addition to joining a certain power group, the most important thing is to become a member of the mecha genre! ”

"This is a mecha world!" Barbarossa spread out his hands: "There is no basic skill of mecha. It's hard to move an inch here. We have been taught to fly mechs since birth. The assembly mecha, maintenance mecha, handling mecha, daily competitive mecha, fighting mecha, traffic mecha and even the combat mecha regiments of major forces in the enterprise, almost all of their lives revolve around mechas. ”

Everyone nodded. With the development of technology today, people are no longer capable of many jobs, not only in the free world. The entire human society is made up of mechas. Mecha are like a hardened shell of a human being and can help humans do a lot of things that their bodies can't do.

"One can imagine how lofty the status of the mecha genre is in a world where military weapons are strictly regulated and energy cannons cannot be owned." Barbarossa clasped his hands together and squeezed them tightly: "The skills accumulated by these mecha schools over thousands of years are the most valuable treasures of the free world. We depend on it not only in our lives, but also in our exchanges in the free world and other countries. It is the only export of the free world to the whole of human society! ”

"In the free world. The private mecha industry has formed a huge industrial chain. Barbarossa took a sip and continued, "Design, manufacture." Maintenance, modification and peripheral spare parts, mecha culture, advertising, gambling and exhibition industry, and the source of all this is the mecha genre. Most of the mechs. They are all developed according to the mecha technology developed by these genres, and our skills also come from the genre. In particular, there is a big gap between pirates, mercenaries, and security groups, and those who have not been trained in the mecha genre and those who have studied systematically in the genre. This gap is combat effectiveness. ”

"So......" Chekov said in surprise, "your mecha school is similar to our military academy?" ”

"Yes!" Barbarossa said: "How many positions do your cadets who graduated from military academies occupy in the army? How many generals are alumni, and how many rank and file officers are united because of this relationship. You should understand very well. Right now. There was an army, which launched an attack on a military academy. If you think about it, the impact of this incident is far higher than that of the military academy. ”

"Why did the Demon Eye do that?" The fat man, who had been silent, asked.

"That's the point!" Barbarossa glanced at the fat man and said, "Stillman, the leader of the Demon Eye, is a member of the Tailiu Land, and now, the Tailiu, who ranks third in the Mars Freeport, is likely to have taken refuge in the Western ......."

After briefly explaining the situation of Tailiu, Barbarossa continued: "Such a school will not be willing to lie under the [Lore] stream and the [Broken Mountain] stream. Especially in the last two or three years, before and after the outbreak of the war, the expansion of Tailiu can only be described as terrifying. What they carried out was a complete rebellion against prosperity. Anyone who stands in their way will either be killed by them or eventually merged with them. ”

"The situation in Freeport right now is very delicate." Barbarossa frowned and picked up the cup in front of him, and as he spoke, he unconsciously put it down: "Everyone knows that with the outbreak of war, the free world will one day be reshuffled. The role of the mecha genre has decreased a lot with the influx of embargoed weapons and resources. Everyone is making their own calculations. Tailiu launched at this time, and it was united with the Demon Eye that had the support of Xiyue, and it is conceivable that behind them, there must be a comprehensive plan for Xiyue. This is also the reason why the [Lore] stream and the [Broken Mountain] stream did not participate in the genre federation and did not confront Tai Stream head-on! ”

"And the impact on us is ......" The fat man took over Barbarossa's words: "Once the Tailiu with the background of the Western Covenant covers the sky in the Free Port, and the major forces below that have taken refuge in the Western Covenant continue to grow, our situation will become more and more dangerous!" When the time comes, it will take much more effort to gain a foothold in Mars than it does now! ”

"That's it!" Barbarossa nodded, "The contradiction between the Redbeard Pirate Group and the Demon Eye has determined from the beginning that we and they are not in the same boat. Even if we want to contact Western Covenant, we have to bypass them. Now, it's up to whomever has the quickest hands and feet to get the head start in the earth-shaking race for the free world. They've just started, and we're going to have to speed it up. In addition to our attack on the Demon Eye, in Freeport, we must gather enough forces to fight the Tailiu. ”

"You mean, borrowing the Phantom Stream?" Karl chimed in, "But. Listening to what you say, the strength of the Phantom Stream is not enough to fight against the Tai Stream. ”

"In terms of their own strength, it's really not a good partner." Barbarossa nodded, "But, on the other hand, it's true

Golden opportunity. With our current strength, we can't be on an equal footing with those ranking factions. The Phantom Stream was different, and besides, this time, their Sect Master had already launched a Demon King-level challenge to Tai Liu! This is our good opportunity. ”

"Demon King level challenge?" The fat man tried to recall the two mecha warriors who stood at the door of his simulation cabin and saluted when he was in the accidental mecha simulation competition at the First Military Academy in the capital. While asking Barbarossa, "What is this?" ”

"This is one of the underground dispute resolution avenues of the mecha school." Barbarossa said: "The rules of challenge originated in the underground fighting arena. Underground martial arts have a very wide influence and market in all human countries, especially in the free world, where this kind of competition, which is banned by various countries, is almost public. ”

"It's a game. As a result of the death of one of the parties. Never die. Although death is a normal thing in underground fighting, it is already the highest level of dispute resolution for the mecha school. Barbarossa stood up. He turned on Chekov's computer, pulled up a document, pointed to the screen, and said, "You can take a look." This is the record of a Demon King fighting match in the Mars Freeport over the years, and not a single loser has made it out of the ring alive. ”

The crowd gathered to watch the grappling fight on the computer, and listened to Barbarossa continue: "Once a challenge is proposed, usually no one refuses. Regardless of the dignity and dignity of the museum, whoever refuses to challenge will lose the qualification to continue to open an apprenticeship in the free port. Even if you lose. Accompanying a disciple with all the family business is far less than the loss of refusing to challenge and being spurned. After all, as long as time passes, with skill and fame, it is possible to make a comeback. ”

"Therefore, the Demon King-level challenge is usually very sure that the initiator has a great deal of certainty. Think carefully before you launch a challenge. After all, those who choose the school are the strongest disciples of the school. The bets are all huge bets. Once there is a mistake, the loss is huge. If it ...... this time," Barbarossa sighed, "it is really admirable and sighing that Old Smith can challenge under such circumstances." Pillaged by the Devil's Eye. was caught off guard by Tailiu at the genre federation again. With the humiliation they suffered, it would have been if they had gone away from the federation in disgrace. But I really can't hold my head up for the rest of my life. Old Smith made a desperate gamble and finally won one last chance for Phantom Stream. Anyway, in terms of gambling, he doesn't have as much as Tailiu, and he is so desperate, he pulls Tailiu into the water to have a demon king-level fighting match, but he is afraid that Kuber, the sect leader of Tailiu, is also very depressed. ”

"The old man is very cunning." The fat man laughed as he watched the live fighting footage and asked, "If we can help Phantom Stream defeat Tai Liu, how high can they reach in the free world?" ”

"Tailiu is currently ranked third in Mars!" Barbarossa said: "Although the Phantom Stream has declined, it is a civilian route, and it still has a certain influence in the free world. If Tailiu is really defeated, it will definitely be the most sensational news, the free world, there is never a shortage of people who fight the water dogs, and if Tailiu is defeated, [Lore] and [Broken Mountain] will definitely attack them. By that time, Siyo was afraid that he would have to find another spokesperson. However, it is not so easy to defeat Tailiu......"

"Isn't it easy?" The fat man looked at the video, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and beckoned: "Come on, let's discuss it." ”

*******************************************

"This old immortal!" In the box of the most luxurious fantasy nightclub in Central Mars, Cooper drew a bright red semicircle on the cigarette butt in his hand, in the dim light: "At this point, you want to bite me." ”

"The old guy is barefoot now, not afraid to wear shoes, and wants to play with his life." Peterson, the second leader of the Demon Eye, who was holding the almost naked hostess on his side, said flatteringly: "However, it is not up to him to choose whom." Choosing our Tailiu can be regarded as his end of life! ”

Cooper glanced at Peterson, frowned and didn't speak.

Seeing that Cooper's face was not good, Stillman on the side shouted at Peterson: "You still have the face to say, if you hadn't kept your eyes on the transport ship and missed the passenger ship, you would be in so much trouble now?" , get outside. ”

Peterson left in disagreement. The room was silent with only two people left. Outside the soundproof glass window, in the hall below, countless red men and green women are dancing under the flickering lights.

"In the old man's hand, I'm afraid there are still some cards." Cooper's face flickered in the light and dark of the cigar: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!" ”

"I know what the old guy has in mind!" Stillman took the wine glass and walked over to Cooper's side: "I'm afraid that by this time, the old guy has already found the [Lore] stream or the [Broken Mountain] stream." He wanted to take a gamble and use the Phantom Stream as a bet to cooperate with those two genres. ”

"The two wolves will promise him?" Cooper sneered and puffed out a puff of smoke.

Outside the window, Peterson, who was holding the waitress, had already arrived in the hall and was greeting a group of Tailiu thug students.

Cooper looked at Peterson and said, "It's nothing to deal with the Phantom Flow this time, but if you want to pull out the Redbeard Pirates, you can't let him do that." Only when you get rid of the red beard can you really speak, and we will negotiate the conditions with Xi, and we will have more capital. Everyone is now tied to the same boat, and there is no room for negligence. ”

"All of my men have been sent out!" Stillman said, "The Redbeard Pirates have been gone for a month. No one knows where they are now, and once they find them, they will never be able to escape. ”

"Chief West." Cooper said with a gloomy face: "I heard that they have connections with many forces. [Lore] flow is also negotiating conditions with them, we have to move quickly! The odds between you and Hayreddin are almost five to one. Plus me and Old Smith, this time, we're going to put on a good show and let Western see who has the final say in the free world! ”

"Remember......" Cooper took the cigar from his mouth, took the wine in Stillman's hand, and drank it all: "Whether it's the Redbeard Pirates or the Phantom Stream, you must kill them all!" ”
