Chapter 507: To Borrow or Not to Borrow
After some politeness, Zhan Ruilin went straight to the point and explained the intention, that is, borrowing the Yu family's transport spaceship.
In any case, Zhan Ruilin is the commander of the Third War Zone, and he is the real power figure of the Human Federation, while Yu Linglong is only the spokesperson of the Yu family, and he is also a junior. If he faced Yu Tianba, Zhan Ruilin would not be so direct. It's just that in front of Yu Linglong, there is no need to be polite.
Besides, Zhan Ruilin just asked Yu Linglong to talk, not to discuss with Yu Linglong, but to make it clear. If it is not made clear, Yu Linglong will make a mistake when she tells Yu Tianba, which will cause Yu Tianba to misunderstand, and it will also cause unnecessary trouble.
It's a pity that Zhan Ruilin underestimated Yu Linglong.
That's right, Yu Linglong is indeed the spokesperson sent by Yu Tianba, but Yu Tianba has long let her make her own decisions and gives her enough autonomy. For something like mobilizing the transport fleet, there is no need to ask Yu Tianba for advice, Yu Linglong can make a decision, and naturally she can refuse Zhan Ruilin.
In fact, Yu Linglong wanted to refuse.
If it was Lin Xiaoting, Yu Linglong would definitely refuse, and would not even give him a chance to make a request.
It's just that in the face of Zhan Ruilin, even if there is fire in his heart, Yu Linglong has to endure it. It's really making a big deal out of it, and it is definitely not a good thing that Yu Tianba has to come forward to solve it. Besides, if you really want Yu Tianba to come forward to deal with Zhan Ruilin, even if you don't want to, you can't save face, and you will more or less provide some support.
The question is, what are the benefits of supporting Zhan Ruilin?
After Zhan Ruilin arrived, Yu Linglong was thinking about this problem.
Prior to this, Yu Tianba had made it clear that the Yu family would spare no effort to support Yang Yi, even if it would offend Zhan Ruilin and other people in power, and clearly instructed Yu Linglong. Let her be responsible for all actions to support Yang Yi, and even give Yu Linglong decision-making power, so that she doesn't have to ask him for instructions on everything.
It was obvious that Yu Tianba had already made a choice between Zhan Ruilin and Yang Yi.
Although Yu Tianba didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was very clear, and he was very disappointed in Zhan Ruilin. And he thinks that Zhan Ruilin is not a worthy object of support. In addition, if Zhan Ruilin regards Yang Yi as an enemy, then Zhan Ruilin not only can't support him, but he must also be careful to guard against it.
So, does Zhan Ruilin regard Yang Yi as an enemy?
At least, based on Lin Xiaoting's attitude before, and the things that came to Yu Linglong to ask, Yu Linglong felt that Zhan Ruilin at least regarded Yang Yi as a threat.
Other words. Even if Zhan Ruilin does not regard Yang Yi as an enemy now, he will treat Yang Yi as an enemy in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Yu Linglong is wary.
However, this is not the most critical issue.
After getting the authorization and instruction of Yu Tianba, Yu Linglong made a deployment, especially in the near future, that is, when the Silicon Charm army began to retreat, Yu Linglong accelerated the deployment. In her opinion. This is an opportunity, an opportunity that can benefit both the Yu family and Yang Yi.
Very simple. Someone must fill the vacuum created by the withdrawal of the Silicon Charm army.
Prior to this, the Ministry of War issued the "All-Out War of Resistance Order", which was tantamount to giving all the people of the Human Federation a privilege that was originally only available to the Ministry of War and federal authorities. To put it simply, as long as it is an enemy who resists the invasion, then anyone has the right to recapture the colonial systems occupied by the enemy, and control and use the captured colonial systems in the name of resistance. It is not accountable to the military and federal authorities.
To put it bluntly, the time has come for the mountain to be king.
To this end, Jade Linglong began to actively support the formation of civilian armed forces in various colonial systems, and implemented military control on this basis.
Of course, the various colonial galaxies also need the support of the Jade family.
To know. In the past few months, the Jade family has been supporting the resistance groups in the colonial galaxy, providing assistance to these resistance groups in any way they can, such as arranging for fast ships to send life and military supplies, helping civilians evacuate, and treating soldiers and civilians injured in battle.
In other words, the Jade family has long established a good relationship with the civil resistance organizations in the colonial galaxy.
In fact, Lin Feng's speech in the Federal Assembly won the support of many colonial system councilors, not because of her eloquence, nor because she moved those councilors with her story, not because Yang Yi's heroic actions were singable and crying, but because Yu Linglong made arrangements in advance. To put it bluntly, even if Lin Feng is stammering inarticulately, even if she doesn't say anything in the Federal Assembly, those members of the colonial galaxy will change their positions according to Yu Linglong's instructions, and pass a bill in favor of the federal authorities at this time, so as to speed up the mobilization for war. Yu Linglong chose this time, not only to give Lin Feng face, but also to take this opportunity to make Yang Yi a well-known hero.
It's just that what happened later more or less exceeded Yu Linglong's expectations.
Of course, the Jade family has long completed the infiltration of the colonial galaxy. It can be said that the internal contradictions of the military department are beneficial to the Yu family. That is, as long as the military department does not make a decision on the operation to send troops to reclaim the colonial system, the nine theaters will not be able to send legions for a valid reason. As long as it drags on for a while, the Jade family will be able to control each colonial galaxy through the civil resistance organization, and at least control some of the colonial systems.
In Yu Linglong's view, this is the most critical action to support Yang Yi.
You must know that no matter how capable Yang Yi is, he is only one person, and he has no foundation in the Human Federation. Even with the support of the Jade Family and the Weaver Clan, his influence in the Human Federation was extremely limited, and he couldn't compare with old guys like Zhan Ruilin, who had lived for more than a thousand years. More importantly, the current situation of the Human Federation has existed for thousands of years, and the forces of all parties have long been stabilized. If it weren't for the outbreak of war, let alone Yang Yi, even Xiao Wentian's rebirth wouldn't have changed anything. Although the war brought opportunities to Yang Yi, if he didn't fight for it, he still couldn't change anything. In Yu Linglong's view, what Yang Yi needs most now is a foothold.
It can be said that everything Yu Linglong has done is to seek a foothold for Yang Yi.
If all of her plans are implemented, she will be able to capture some of them, if not all of them, if not all of them.
With these colonial galaxies, Yang Yi also has the capital to compete with anyone.
In fact, this is also the main reason why Yu Linglong stayed in her home galaxy and did not return to the Jade family's refuge.
Mainly, she didn't feel at ease about handing over such an important matter to others, and those spokesmen of the colonial galaxy, that is, councilors from the colonial galaxy, only recognized her, and not the rest of the Yu family.
So, can you agree to what Zhan Ruilin proposed?
In fact, it should be asked the other way around, that is, can it be refused?
Obviously, if she could, Yu Linglong would definitely refuse. You must know that Zhan Ruilin asked the Yu family to borrow a fleet to send the legion to the colonial galaxy and restore control of the colonial galaxy. Not to mention whether it will affect Yang Yi for the time being, but those councilors who colonize the galaxy will not agree. If Yu Linglong agrees, it is tantamount to betraying the colonial system, and she will inevitably lose the trust and support of the colonial galaxy councilors and resistance groups. Although the Yu family is strong, without these friends, it will not be strong. You must know that for thousands of years, the Yu family has become stronger and stronger, relying not only on the struggle of generations of the Yu family, but also on many friends.
Yu Linglong didn't say no, because she couldn't refuse.
said that it was gray, if Yu Linglong refused, then the words would be dead, Zhan Ruilin would inevitably regard the Yu family as an enemy, and there would be no room for maneuver.
So, what to do?
"The marshal really looks up to us." Yu Linglong smiled faintly and said, "The head of the family has long commanded that the marshal's business is our business, and it is the honor of our Yu family to be able to serve the marshal and support the soldiers of the third war zone, and it is also an opportunity for us to serve the Human Federation and the Human Legion." It's just that this matter came too suddenly, and I'm not afraid of the marshal's jokes, I really can't be the master. ”
"Really?"
Yu Linglong let out a long breath and said very seriously: "To be honest, just a few days ago, the head of the family asked me to gather all the fleets, saying that there was an important operation. The head of the house didn't tell me what the action was, and I was just a spokesperson, and I didn't have the right to know. ”
"So, only the old man can call the shots?"
Yu Linglong nodded, indicating that this was the case, and then said: "Of course, I will tell the head of the family what the marshal said." ”
Zhan Ruilin smiled reluctantly, obviously not very satisfied with Yu Linglong's answer.
"As soon as I have the news, I will inform the marshal. Actually, the marshal doesn't have to worry either. The marshal has had a friendship with the head of the family for thousands of years, and even if there are difficulties now, the head of the family will never fail to give face to the marshal. Even if there are great difficulties, it is not impossible to separate some ships. ”
"So, when will there be a reply?"
"It's just a few days."
Zhan Ruilin nodded slightly and said, "Okay, anyway, I'm not in a hurry in the next few days." Say hello to the old man for me, and when I have some free time, I'll come back to visit. ”
"Marshal, please go slowly."
Zhan Ruilin didn't ramble anymore, he came to find Yu Linglong, he didn't expect Yu Linglong to agree, but just passed the word to Yu Tianba through Yu Linglong.
You know, this is a time of war, not to mention a 1,000-ton transport spaceship, even a small spaceship, it has great value, and it can even be regarded as strategic equipment. Obviously, if the Yu family wants to lend a thousand million-ton spaceships, I'm afraid only Yu Tianba can call the shots.
Anyway, it's already very good that Yu Linglong can bring the words to Yu Tianba and promise to give an answer in the next few days.
When Zhan Ruilin left, Yu Linglong breathed a sigh.
In fact, she didn't need to consult Jade Tianba for this matter at all, because there were more than 100,000 transport ships at her disposal, and a tenth of them were megatons-class large spaceships, and it was not a problem to transfer a thousand of them at all, and there was no need to alarm Jade Tianba for a thousand spaceships.
The question is, should it be hidden from Yu Tianba?
Also, to borrow or not to borrow, Yu Linglong really can't make up her mind.
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Linglong asked her subordinates to prepare the car. Although there is no need to ask Yu Tianba for advice, he must let Yu Tianba know about this, and he needs Yu Tianba's advice. If this matter is not handled properly, the consequences are unimaginable, and Yu Linglong definitely does not want to set up a theater commander-level enemy for herself and Yang Yi at the same time. In any case, there is definitely no harm in maintaining the relationship with Zhan Ruilin. (To be continued.) )
