Chapter 366: Behemoth

"Brother Yang, are you okay?"

"What can I do?"

"Brother Yang, you were really handsome at the beginning, the tiger body was shocked, and you actually scared away the four space fighters."

Yang Yi was speechless, but he didn't take Yujiao's words seriously. "What's so handsome, if you didn't arrive in time, I would have lost my life. Don't talk nonsense with you, let the other ships leave. Immediately give an order not to come to the ships that have not yet arrived. ”

"Why? The Hidden Spirit Clan deceives people too much, I'm going to go to the Heavenly Saint Emperor to theorize, is that it? ”

"If you don't forget it, what else do you want?" Yang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, the four space fighters that attacked me have already left, even if we can see it clearly, what can we do?" This is the Hidden Spirit Star, and if you make a big fight here, it will be tantamount to not giving the Hidden Spirit Clan face. When the time comes, things will get bigger, how will it end? Besides, it would be too cost-effective to expose the strength of the Yu family. ”

Yujiao was slightly stunned, as if she had thought of something, and hurriedly ordered Yulin to convey the order.

"Okay, I won't delay any longer."

"Brother Yang, aren't you going back with us?"

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and said, "By the way, how could you come in such a timely manner and bring so many spaceships, and most of them are armed spaceships?" ”

"This is our Jade Family's private fleet."

Yang Yi was stunned again, and looked at Yujiao incomprehensibly.

Yujiao smiled faintly before telling the truth.

After Yang Yi and the others went to the Hidden Spirit Star, Yu Jiao contacted Yu Linglong and told Yu Linglong about the situation, and then Yu Linglong asked Yu Jiao to arrange for the return to the home galaxy. Although Yu Jiao and Yu Linglong didn't know whether Yang Yi had passed the trial, the two could only believe in Yang Yi. Also, after passing the trial. Yang Yi will definitely leave the Hidden Spirit Star and return to his home galaxy, so he needs to make arrangements in advance.

Subsequently, Yu Jiao gave orders to all the spaceships operating in the central region according to Yu Linglong's instructions.

In just a few days, thousands of spaceships, large and small, arrived from all over the country. These ships are scattered and moored in a spaceport near the Hidden Soul. And they all have legal identities, and they don't have a unified banner, so even the intelligence agencies of the Hidden Spirit Clan don't know that these spaceships all belong to the Jade family.

Of course, this is no coincidence.

The Jade family is the most powerful business family in the Human Federation, controlling the largest trading group in the Human Federation. Although the Human Federation is only a sixth-class civilization, the Jade Family has been operating painstakingly for thousands of years, and has almost monopolized the trade between the Human Federation and other civilizations, even in the entire Galactic Alliance, the trading group controlled by the Jade Family can be among the top 100. The business scope is all over the entire Southern Alpha system.

At any given time, there are nearly 10,000 spaceships directly or indirectly controlled by the Yu family operating in the central region.

In peacetime, these ships are engaged in legitimate and legal business activities, protected by the laws of the Alliance, and there is no reason for other civilizations to turn them away.

It's just that in times of war, these ships have no other purpose.

In fact, the Jade family was originally born in the flames of war and specialized in serving the war. To be precise, a business family that serves the Human Federation in the fight against invasion. After thousands of years, after several baptisms of war. The Yu family has long established an effective mobilization mechanism.

To put it simply, as long as the head of the family gives an order, the spaceships and personnel scattered all over the Southern Alpha system can be quickly mobilized, and the efficiency is terrifying.

Of course, even in times of war, the Jade family was mainly engaged in commerce.

During the Fifth Greenwich War. The main contribution of the Jade family is to provide various materials for the human legions fighting on the lighthouse star, and to transport these materials to the designated location. Although Xiao Wentian was an unborn commander, without the full support of the Yu family, he would not be able to hold out in the Lighthouse Star for fifty years. It's just that the Yu family always stays behind the scenes and never shows up. So unknown.

Now, the Yu family is doing the same thing as it was a thousand years ago.

After the outbreak of the war, the Yu family mobilized. In accordance with the orders issued by the family master, the scattered institutions began to purchase and stock up on supplies, and sent them back to the home system at the appropriate time to support the human legions fighting against the invasion and ensure the safety of the home system.

It's a pity that what happened next almost made the Yu family's efforts come to naught.

That is, the green star was destroyed and evolved into a black hole, and the life route of the Human Federation was cut off, resulting in the spaceships scattered outside the North Fourth Region being unable to return to their home galaxy, and they could not send the materials back, so no matter how much materials the Yu family hoarded in other places, they could not generate value.

Of course, it's not that there are no routes to take, but that other routes are not only long, but also very dangerous.

In response to this situation, the Yu family made timely adjustments, allowing the scattered agencies to try to arm some spaceships and form an escort fleet. According to the arrangement at the time, if there was no other choice, it was to take the risk of escorting the fleet carrying strategic goods from other routes back to the home system with armed ships. Even if you will encounter a lot of trouble and even suffer losses along the way, and the supplies that can be sent back are extremely limited, it is better than inaction.

It was also at this time that Yang Yi came to the Alliance Star, and then sent an envoy to the Hidden Spirit Clan as an envoy.

As the situation gradually became clearer, especially when the Heavenly Saint Emperor convened other civilizations to discuss countermeasures for sending troops, and supported Yang Yi to participate in the trial of the Hidden Spirit Clan, the Yu family adjusted its deployment.

Since it is a foregone conclusion that top civilizations such as the Hidden Spirit Clan will send troops to participate in the war, they will open up a route, and it will obviously be safer to follow the legions of top civilizations such as the Hidden Spirit Clan to the Bei Fourth District when the time comes. Besides, as long as Yang Yi passed the trial, the Hidden Spirit Clan would definitely immediately send out reinforcements.

It was precisely in this way that Yu Linglong asked Yu Jiao to organize the fleet and wait for Yang Yi to pass the trial.

"Brother Yang, you are really impressive, don't talk about me, I'm afraid no one would have thought that you didn't ask the Hidden Spirit Clan to send troops to fight, but for Princess Xijia. To be honest, although I don't agree with your approach, you are so handsome that even I was touched by you. ”

Yang Yi rolled his eyes, completely speechless at Yujiao.

"The ancients said that when you are angry, you will be red-faced, and I only now understand what it means."

"Come on, Amy and I are just friends." Yang Yi sighed and said, "By the way, how do you know?" I also just left the Presbyterian Church when the news spread? ”

"Brother Yang, do you think our Yu family has lived in vain in the past few thousand years?"

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Although we have not been able to establish a stronghold on the Hidden Spirit Star, after all, it is the lair of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and the entire Hidden Spirit Star is a royal territory, even if we spend money, we may not be able to buy a piece of land, but it is obviously not difficult to buy a few people, especially low-status chamberlains. Don't say it, the money spent on those greedy ghosts is really not in vain, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get over in time. ”

"How many ships are coming?"

"About 5,000 ships, but only one-third of the total number of mobilizations, and about 10,000 spacecraft have not yet arrived, but only for a few days."

Yang Yi was shocked and looked at Yujiao in disbelief.

You know, these are interstellar spaceships, that is, large cargo ships that can fly across galaxies, the smallest tonnage can also hold 100,000 tons of cargo, and the largest can hold tens of millions of tons. Not to mention fifteen thousand, even if it is only five thousand, it is enough to carry weapons and equipment to arm hundreds of legions. If it is material, it is enough to meet the consumption of the entire home system for a year, or to support 10,000 legions for ten years.

"Are these ships fully loaded?"

"Of course, if it's not fully loaded, why go back? Actually, that's what went wrong. Many spaceships departed late and did not arrive on time because they were not full of cargo. Otherwise, we would now have fifteen thousand ships. ”

"What kind of goods are they?" Yang Yi was very curious, and he also wanted to know how strong the Yu family was.

"Most of them are survival materials, mainly food, after all, after the outbreak of war, the home system will definitely be blocked. The Human Federation is founded on the military, everything revolves around the military, and the production capacity is extremely limited. In peacetime, trade can obtain the necessary survival materials, while in wartime, let alone blockade, even if there is no blockade, it may not be possible to obtain enough survival materials through trade. Yujiao smiled reluctantly and said, "If you don't have enough to eat, not only will the army have no combat effectiveness, but the civilians in the rear will also be affected." Soldiers are also human beings, and soldiers fight bloody battles on the front line, all to keep one party safe and keep their families from harm. If their relatives are starving, how can soldiers still have the fighting spirit? If this is destined to be a protracted battle, then ensuring stability in the rear is the key to victory. ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yujiao meant.

In fact, everyone understands what Yujiao said.

Thousands of years ago, the human legion was able to resist the Silicon Charm army on the Lighthouse Star for fifty years, and in addition to Xiao Wentian's good leadership, the most important thing was the Jade family. It's just that most of the contributions made by the Yu family are not directly related to the war. As far as Yang Yi knew, in the past fifty years, the Yu family had delivered enough food to feed 200 billion people to the home galaxy through various means, fundamentally ensuring the stability of the rear. For this, the Yu family also paid an extremely heavy price, such as the loss of eighty percent of the spaceship, and the death of millions of crew members in the vast sea of stars. With the situation at that time, if the lighthouse star offensive and defensive battle continued for another ten years, or even five years, the Yu family would collapse due to the loss of all the spaceships.

It's just that not many people know about this, and the Yu family has never preached it.

It's not that the Yu family doesn't want to be famous, but they can't be famous. To put it bluntly, the Yu family has been able to maintain the coefficient for thousands of years, and has been steadily developing and growing, and it is fundamental to insist on keeping a low profile. If what the Jade Family did during the war was widely known, let alone top civilizations such as the Hidden Spirit Clan, I am afraid that the federal authorities would not be able to tolerate its existence. You know, this huge business family has enough power to subvert or build a regime.

At this time, Yang Yi couldn't help but secretly sigh that the alliance with the Jade Family was perhaps the most valuable decision he had made in his life. (To be continued.) )
