When Yu Linglong arrived, Zhan Ruilin was discussing with Lin Xiaoting about sending troops.

Because he had not been in contact with Yu Linglong, the matter of borrowing a transport ship from the Yu family could not be determined, so Zhan Ruilin asked Lin Xiaoting to reformulate a plan so that he could still send the legion to the most important colonial systems in time without borrowing the transport fleet from the Yu family.

Zhan Ruilin didn't think much about it, went to see Yu Linglong, and at the same time asked Lin Xiaoting to continue to improve the backup plan.

Although there is a bad premonition, when Yu Linglong came to the Third Theater Headquarters, she naturally had very important things, so she couldn't be missed. Besides, it was Zhan Ruilin who came out to borrow the transport spaceship from the Yu family, whether he borrowed it or not, Yu Tianba would reply.

Seeing Yu Linglong, Zhan Ruilin's worries became even more obvious.

"Marshal, the head of the family has already made a decision."

"Really?"

"The head of the house has promised to lend the convoy to the marshal, and arrangements have been made, and it is expected that it will be in the home system in a few days."

Zhan Ruilin was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Yu Tianba to agree so happily, but then he thought that things were not so simple.

"It's just that the situation is a bit complicated right now."

"Complicated?"

Yu Linglong sighed and said, "So far, I have only contacted one transport fleet, and there are only about five hundred megaton transport ships. ”

Zhan Ruilin's brows jumped a few times, his previous worries were indeed correct.

"The head of the family said that the marshal's business is our business, but I have no other way."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Ruilin sighed secretly, trying to calm his emotions.

"The marshal should know that after the outbreak of war, especially after the home system is surrounded by enemies, in order to minimize losses. We had to keep the fleet scattered and hidden. According to our plan, after the enemy retreated, the scattered flotilla would be concentrated, and then the deployment would be made according to the actual situation. Before that, we had already concentrated the fleet, and after the military headquarters issued an all-out war of resistance order. Begin supporting the resistance groups in the various colonial systems, sending fleets to continue the equipment and supplies to these resistance groups, as well as rescuing civilians who have lost their homes in the fighting. Yu Linglong paused for a moment before saying, "After the head of the family made a decision, I immediately set out to contact the transport delivery scattered in various places, but so far I have only contacted one transport fleet. ”

"What about the others?"

"I don't know."

Zhan Ruilin frowned, and looked at Yu Linglong incomprehensibly.

Yu Linglong let out a long breath before saying, "The Yu family's industries are all over the North Fourth District. In almost every colonized galaxy, on all the planets where humans have settled, there are our people, as well as our businesses, or the civil society organizations that cooperate with us and have close contacts. In any case, we can't abandon these people, and we can't keep them in the shadow of the enemy, so our fleet is spread throughout the North 4th District. The fleet that is now in contact is within the jurisdiction of the Third War Zone. And it is the only fleet in the jurisdiction of the 3rd theater of operations. We are still trying to get in touch with other fleets, but now it seems unlikely. ”

"You mean. Other fleets are not in the jurisdiction of the 3rd theater of operations? ”

Yu Linglong nodded, indicating that this was what it meant.

Zhan Ruilin's face twitched a few times, and his face became extremely ugly. Although Yu Linglong did not mention the reason, the meaning was obvious. She didn't contact the other convoys, precisely because those convoys were within the jurisdiction of other theaters of war, and they must have been requisitioned.

To know. According to the wartime order just issued by the military department, the nine theaters have the right to unconditionally requisition civilian ships within their jurisdictions, and there is no need to notify them in advance or report them. To put it simply, as long as you encounter it. can be requisitioned directly. Leaving aside the fact that civilian ships do not have the combat power to confront warships, and the refusal to requisition is tantamount to betrayal, and in wartime, the military has the right to directly deal with traitors.

Obviously, as long as they are requisitioned, these spaceships no longer belong to the Jade Family, nor will they be deployed by the Jade Family.

It's normal that you can't get in touch.

"Only five hundred ships?" Anger is anger, Zhan Ruilin did not lose his mind. To put it bluntly, the Yu family's spaceship was requisitioned by other war zones, and he couldn't help it. Even if he was the commander of the 3rd theater and had influence in both the military department and the federal authorities, it would be impossible to blame other theaters for this. Besides, the Third Theater is also doing the same thing, that is, Zhan Ruilin has long ordered the requisition of civilian spaceships in the jurisdiction.

"There are only five hundred megatons, but there are some smaller ships."

"How many?" Zhan Ruilin saw hope. While a large megaton ship is ideal, a small ship can also transport legions.

"There are about 1,000 tons of 100,000 tons, and there are also some 10,000 tons of small cargo ships that do not independently cross the star system, but the specific number, I don't know very well, but it will definitely not be less." Yu Linglong let out a long breath and said, "Of course, we have made improvements to these ships to be able to travel across star systems, but they must be assisted by other large ships. ”

Zhan Ruilin nodded slightly and said, "When will the fleet arrive?" ”

"Marshal ......"

"Although we need a large ship, in the current situation, even a small ship can come in handy, at least better than nothing. You should know that just a few days ago, the enemy destroyed three colonial galaxies, or three galaxies of extremely important strategic value. If ......"

"Marshal!"

After Yu Linglong raised her voice, Zhan Ruilin stopped.

"The head of the family said that it is no problem to lend the fleet to the third war zone, even if it is to provide more support, but the Yu family has made great contributions to this war and has taken on a lot of responsibilities that originally did not belong to us, and now there are many places that need our support."

"Really?"

Yu Linglong smiled reluctantly and said, "What the family master means is that we support the Third War Zone, and we also hope that the marshal can think about us. ”

"Of course, the Yu family supports me unconditionally, and I will naturally think about the Yu family."

"The marshal has said so, and I will no longer beat around the bush."

Although Zhan Ruilin agreed happily, his words were very vague, which meant that he didn't agree to anything. It's just that Yu Linglong pretended not to hear it.

Zhan Ruilin nodded slightly, letting Yu Linglong continue.

"The head of the house means that if the marshal thinks about us, he will show something, such as helping us find the convoy of convoys that have lost contact. Of course, the head of the family is also thinking about the marshal, all we need is to know where these fleets are going. Although our Yu family has its own intelligence system, it is a time of war, and it is very likely that the fleet will be detained in other war zones, so it is not easy to obtain information. Of course, with the capabilities of a marshal, obtaining intelligence is nothing. The head of the house also asked me to tell the marshal that if the marshal is willing to help us take these fleets back, then whatever the outcome, we will share the control of these fleets with the marshal, or the marshal will have priority in control. ”

Zhan Ruilin frowned and did not hurry to speak.

Yu Linglong didn't go on, this is only the first condition, if you can't even talk about this, there is no need to put forward the second condition.

After a while, Zhan Ruilin said: "This matter is a bit tricky, and you also said that it is a time of war. Although I am the commander of the Third Theater and have a say in the military department, the nine theaters all take care of their own affairs, let alone exchange intelligence, and they have never really cooperated. Of course, I'm going to do my best to figure out where those fleets are going as soon as possible. As for whether or not to assist the Yu family in recapturing the fleet, let's talk about it then. ”

"With the marshal's words, it's enough."

"So, when are you going to ...... the current fleet?"

"Marshal, the head of the family promised to lend the fleet to the marshal, but did not promise to hand over the fleet to the marshal."

Zhan Ruilin was slightly stunned, looking at Yu Linglong incomprehensibly, feeling that there was no difference between the two at all.

"Actually, it's not that we don't believe in the marshal, but in the light of what happened during this period, we must have reservations. Although the head of the family promised to lend the fleet to the marshal, it had to be controlled by our people, that is, the crew was all sent by us, and only obeyed the dispatch of the third theater of operations. Yu Linglong paused slightly, and then said, "This arrangement is just to ensure that after completing the transportation tasks arranged by the marshal, we can send the fleet to other places in time to perform other tasks." One way or another, there are a lot of places where transport fleets are needed now. In addition, this is the last fleet that our Jade family directly controls. Even if the head of the family absolutely trusts the marshal, we dare not take any risks. ”

"So, it's just a temporary loan?"

Yu Linglong nodded, indicating that this was what she meant, and then said: "Actually, the head of the family is also thinking about the marshal by arranging it like this. In any case, our Yu family has ready-made crews, and they are all familiar with their respective ships and have a lot of experience in astronautics. Although there are talents in the Third War Zone, there is no shortage of crews, but it is also a troublesome matter to take over thousands of spaceships, and it will definitely take a lot of time, which will also have an impact on the operations of the Third War Zone. Obviously, the last thing to waste right now is time. ”

Zhan Ruilin was a little speechless, but he couldn't refute Yu Linglong's opinion.

If you lose time and miss the opportunity to recover the colonial galaxy because of the takeover of the transport fleet, even if you take this fleet for yourself, it will be more than worth the loss.

You know, a fleet is nothing compared to strategically important colonial galaxies.

Besides, as long as they act in a timely manner, capture enough colonial systems, and the Third War Zone becomes the most powerful military force in the Human Federation, will the Jade family have any other choice? On the contrary, if the Third War Zone was not the most powerful existence in the Human Federation, the Jade family would inevitably have other ideas.

After a quick consideration, Zhan knew he didn't have much bargaining chips.

To put it bluntly, now he is begging the Yu family, not the Yu family begging him. Not to mention anything else, as long as Yu Linglong reveals the news that the Yu family still has a fleet, I am afraid that the commanders of the other eight theaters will take the initiative to find her and discuss with her about cooperating with the Yu family.
