Verse 16: The inner monologue of the city

"Do you know why you keep reminding me that this is possible, but I never take your words to heart?"

Mo Cheng stood up from the bed, and sat down on the chair next to the bed with the support of Lao Biao.

"I think you always have your point."

Lao Biao said while finding a little nutrient juice for Mo Cheng.

"The bad is here." Mo Cheng shook his head and said, "Everyone has too much confidence in me, including myself. And the reason why I have this confidence is because if they are a few days later, there will be a new fleet to arrive at the 'Flaming Mountain'. ”

"And a new fleet? Where is it? ”

Lao Biao's eyes widened, as if a gambler who had lost all his money had seen the dawn of returning to his roots.

"According to the original plan, in another day, they should already be stationed in the 'Flaming Mountain'. It's just that after this incident, they had to change their plans. Resupply on one of Satan's Wings' energy planets. That planet is less than a hundred light-years away from the Cape of Good Hope. ”

At this point, Mer City paused, and then continued: "There is a man named Benz, who used to be the deputy head of a pirate group in the 'Free Star'. Later, because of a strange virus, the whole person's ability deteriorated, so he retired as a wandering homeless man. Before I left the mountain, I gambled for him to win a sum of money so that he could have money to treat the virus. According to common sense, his virus is extremely complex, and it will take about two years to cure. However, he was lucky, and when he went to be treated, he learned that he had just invented a special drug against his virus. Using this special medicine, it only took him a month to regain all of his abilities. ”

After that, Benz returned to the 'Free Star', pulled a group of neglected former subordinates from his original pirate group, and began to operate in the 'Free Star'. After half a year, his pirate group quickly expanded from a small team to a medium-sized pirate group of a slight size. However, after so many years of wandering, Benz himself no longer has too high aspirations for a career as a pirate. When he re-emerged and reorganized the pirate group, his goal was to gather strength and help me. ”

"When I said that the Grizzly Pirates would attack the Flaming Mountain, Benz reached me through my email. He asked me if I needed him on board. It was precisely because of his question that I was not satisfied with the current situation. I think we could have swelled up to a much bigger situation very quickly. If you have the opportunity, why not do it? It was with this in mind that I took the next step. At the same time, it is precisely because of this that I feel comfortable letting Kalman control the army. I thought to myself, as long as Benz comes, then his strength must be our iron, enough to deter all the swingers in the army. But I didn't expect that they would move faster than I expected......"

Mo Cheng looked up at Lao Biao, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes, "In the end, I'm still too confident...... I will remember this lesson for the rest of my life. ”

"If there is this original, then you can't be blamed for anything. You've thought carefully enough, it's just that Kalman is too cunning. ”

When the name Kalman was pronounced, Lao Biao's teeth couldn't help but grind, "Unless we lie on the ground for the rest of our lives." As long as we can get up one day, we must find him a hundredfold and a thousandfold to repay this blood debt. ”

"Naturally, Kalman couldn't let it go. But if we really have to talk about debt, the biggest debtor is not Kalman. On his own, he simply does not have the ability to indulge such a large-scale rebellion...... There is someone behind him. ”

Mo Cheng shook his head and said.

"Behind his back...... Do you mean Yuris? ”

Lao Biao's brow jumped. It's not that simple, this is something he has known for a long time, but it still surprises him that he is directly involved in such high-level people.

"I'm not sure, I haven't been in contact with Yuris yet." Mo Cheng shook his head again, "Before I left 'Uurishi', Uurith used to give me an email address privately, so that I could use this email address to contact him if I had any urgent matters. I've now found some computers and am calculating the security last name of this mailbox. Results should be available today and tomorrow. If I'm sure it's secure, I'll send him a letter to ask about it. ”

"You have to be so cautious when writing a letter to Yuris......" Lao Biao said this, and suddenly understood, with a look of horror on his face, "Do you think that someone next to Yuris ......?" ”

"I've been thinking about it these days. For so many years, Kalman has indeed been unused and repressed. And neither Yuris, nor his father, is likely to really reuse him. Even if Yuris were to do something like this time, he wouldn't be able to trust Kalman to do it...... However, it's hard to say, maybe he just saw that I didn't think Kalman would do this, so he let him come......"

Mo Cheng pursed his lips and was silent for a while, tapping lightly on the table with the fingers of his hand.

"Anyway, if this matter is led by Yuris, I always think it is not so natural, but if it is another person next to him, it seems logical......"

Before Mo Cheng's words were finished, Lao Biao hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"It's not settled yet, I'm not sure yet."

Lao Biao could see that Mo Cheng didn't want to talk about this issue now, so he changed the topic and said: "Okay, these things are not in a hurry, the most important thing for us at the moment is to decide what to do next." ”

"I understand the way of the world, you must have blood in your hands. And it is the blood that you kill with your own hands, so much enough to make others afraid of your blood, that others will really obey you. When Mo Cheng said this, he sneered, and the corners of his eyebrows were murderous, "When I went to the 'Iron and Blood Great Wall', that Bai Chen commented on me and said that I was a first-class staff officer, a second-rate general, and a ninth-rate king...... Now that I think about it, his evaluation is very bloody. In the past, we were all too naïve, always thinking about outwitting everything. It never occurred to me that what was outwitted wasn't really solid. In the final analysis, this world is still about power. So, you can't just outwit, you can also take by force. ”

"Force...... Take? Lao Biao looked at Mo Cheng, and finally repeated these two words, "How to take the force?" ”

Bai Chen said that I can't be the king now, and this incident also proves his statement. It's good, I can just tear out these false hopes. I'm not a 'Sky Breaker', I'm not an apprentice of a master, I don't want to be a bullshit king, I'm just a general! ”

Mo Cheng's right fist clenched slightly, "Since I came out of the mountain, I have actually been at a loss. The universe is so big that I don't even know where I'm going to start or where I'm going. Now, everything is not a problem. I've figured it out, I'm going to be a general. Bai Chen said that I am only a second-rate general now, very good, then I will become a first-class general, a general who is feared by everyone! A general who hears my name is enough to make the enemy scareless! When everyone is afraid, what is a general? The general is the king! ”

After Mo Cheng finished this ** naked inner monologue, he raised his head, looked at Lao Biao, and saw that Lao Biao just kept nodding his head and did not show the slightest strange look.

He couldn't help but ask: "Lao Biao, I have such a big change, aren't you afraid of me?" ”

"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Lao Biao asked rhetorically, "No matter how ruthless you are, you will bite the enemy, and you won't bite me, right?" ”

Hearing Lao Biao say this, Mo Cheng nodded with satisfaction, "With your words, I'm relieved......"

"Well, don't be cranky. If I had been suspicious of you, would I have followed you to this day? Lao Biao snorted, glanced at Mo Cheng disapplauded, and then asked, "Tell me first, what should we do next?" ”

"First of all, no matter what, our established strategy cannot be changed, and we still have to win the 'Cape of Good Hope'."

Mo Cheng said categorically that he was not a man who showed firmness by will alone.

As long as he firmly expresses a point of view, it means that he must have thought carefully about this point of view, and he must have a considerable degree of certainty.

Lao Biao knew this better than anyone else, so he didn't question whether Mocheng could do it, but asked, "How many fleets did Benz bring?" ”

"Before he arrived, Benz had already reorganized his pirate regiment, and all the old and weak soldiers were cut, as well as the worse ships. What he brought with him this time were all heavy cruisers and battleships, three hundred heavy cruisers, two hundred battleships, and twelve thousand of all space soldiers. ”

"Three hundred heavy cruisers, two hundred battleships, and only 120,000 space warriors? That's pretty much the minimum staffing, right? Why are there so few people? Aren't there pirates in 'Free Star'? ”

Lao Biao asked strangely.

Mo Cheng explained, "No, I made him do it. After all, this fleet will be stationed in the thirty-two stars for a long time in the future. After a long time, these pirates will definitely be homesick, and we will slowly repatriate most of these pirates after all. Therefore, the smaller the number of people, the better, and there is little pressure to repatriate in batches. If there are too many people, there is a risk of mutiny. ”

"That's right." Lao Biao nodded, and after a slight hesitation, he asked, "However, with this strength, even if there is an internal echo, is it a bit reluctant for us to directly attack the 'Iron and Blood Great Wall'?" Moreover, even if we are defeated, our losses are so great, will we not be able to control the situation? ”

Mo Cheng glanced at Lao Biao, shook his head and said, "The situation has changed, and if you copy the old routine, you can only hit the stone with an egg." ”

Hearing Mo Cheng's words, Lao Biao was a little confused, "If you don't fight the 'Iron and Blood Great Wall', how can you get the 'Cape of Good Hope'?" Could it be that we can still go straight to the 'Cape of Good Hope'? ”

Mo Cheng replied affirmatively: "That's right, it's just going to play the 'Cape of Good Hope', but not now." ”

Ten days later, the fleets of the former "Chinese Soul" who had surrendered to Admiral Cheng had arrived at the "Flaming Mountain" one after another.

Once all of these fleets had arrived, Kalman immediately began to reorganize them completely, and at the same time asked Han Tianxing for a large number of officers to support him. Because, when these admirals sent these fleets, they were ready for these fleets to be reorganized, so the quality of both the commanders and the soldiers sent was miserable.

Kalman calculated that it would take two months at the earliest to completely reorganize these fleets into three combat-ready Admiral-class main fleets.

Fortunately, Kalman now has enough time, because the expulsion of Mo Cheng and Lao Biao has calmed down the public anger in the "Flaming Mountain", and the uprisings in various places have basically subsided.

In addition to the frantic preparations, the "Flaming Mountain" is back on track.

However, not everyone has as much time as Kalman.

For example, the king of Dingnan, he didn't have a second anymore - it happened that when the fleet of the "Chinese Soul" arrived at the "Flame Mountain", the king of Dingnan died.

King Dingnan died in the bed of one of his favorite concubines, and the chief autopsy determined that he was so excited during sexual intercourse that he died of a myocardial infarction.

The deputy autopsy agreed, but in an inconspicuous corner of the examiner's book, he wrote that the reason why King Dingnan died of heart problems was because he had taken an aphrodisiac that had a noticeable load on the heart before having intercourse. According to common sense, this kind of drug with obvious excess ingredients should not reach the side of King Dingnan.

Perhaps this description of only a few dozen words is too inconspicuous in the autopsy book, which is more than 20 pages long. So much so that for a long time, no one noticed its existence.
