Chapter 17: Nightmare
Chapter 17: Nightmare
Negotiations are going very well, and Mira. Han personally came to the Star Harbor to inspect the goods, Frank and Renault naturally accompanied the whole process, and the inspection time lasted for nearly two hours. Han finally accepted the two battle cruisers satisfied, and Renault was also relieved that the two big troubles were finally thrown off, and the next thing was to wait for the procurement of arms and those required resources.
Maite. Horner was ready early, the savings warehouse had been cleared, and he was waiting to be loaded with silicon ore and high-energy gas.
Mira. They were very efficient, and the first shipment arrived in thirteen hours. Nine hundred units of brand-new ghost fighters, the two sides successfully handed over in Starport, the new batch of fighters, of course, the happiest is Hovis, as the head of the Air Force, he has long wanted to apply for a proposal to replace equipment, but he knows that the army is short of funds, so he has been enduring, and now more than 900 brand-new ghost fighters have been delivered, Hovis and his pilots are naturally smiling, and they have begun to change into their new cars.
The news quickly spread to the infantry mobile unit and the mechanized unit, fortunately, Maite already knew what was going to happen, and had already taken countermeasures, and hurriedly issued the purchase order to a few principals, and after seeing the list, he stopped the mood of going to Renault to make trouble, although the list was in hand, but they didn't see the real equipment or it was difficult for them to press, but they could only live a tormented wait.
Another ten hours later, a convoy of transports was in Mira. Escorted by a small fleet sent by Han, they sailed to the mooring where the rangers were, and among them was a battlecruiser, after all, there was a lot of cargo.
"All the goods have been brought, the points are counted, if there is any abnormality, we will contact again, in addition, as a feedback. That transport ship will be given to you, and it will be worth sixty or seventy billion anyway, okay, so be it! You are the ones who do great things, so I won't bother. β
Communicator, Mira. Han said with a smile that this time she not only successfully purchased two battle cruisers, but also made a lot of profits from them, so she was naturally very happy, you know. Battlecruisers are not things that can be built with resources, although the entire Dead Man's Harbor is one of the top ten large starports of the human race, but no shili can build one here with his own hands, and even if it is built, it is not qualified, so if you want to get such a large ship, you can only do it through smuggling within the army, and the price is scary, because there is no jishu.
"Thank you! If there is business next time. I think we will continue to work together. Frank smiled and ended the communication. I don't know if it's a big deal, but it's definitely crazy. β
No sooner had Frank finished his communications than Renault arrived. He said, "No problem! All the goods meet our requirements, and it seems that this mercenary is quite honest. β
"That's because our Yamato cannon is always ready, and we have given her a high enough profit." Frank said.
"That's right!" Renault agreed and nodded. Then he said, "When the business is done, we should also go!" β
The Rangers have not been in the Harbor of the Dead for long, and they have been departing since they arrived. It lasted less than two days. "Meilan" and "Poseidon" were sold for 100 trillion yuan, and a batch of new equipment was purchased at the same time, 10,000 square meters of silicon crystal ore is enough for three battle cruisers to operate for a whole year or can provide a month and a half of continuous wartime consumption, after this supply, the rangers will not lack resources in the long run.
Mechanical library.
"Swan! When will we be able to make these pieces of gear ourselves? Frank looked at a ghost fighter docked in front of him and said to Swan. This Ghost Fighter is a Shiyan machine that Swan used to crack its structure.
"As long as we have the drawings, we can manufacture them in large quantities in a short period of time if the resources allow." Swan said.
"Not bad! We have enough resources now, but the battle will be attritional, and we can't always go to someone else to buy it, and that kind of slaughter is really uncomfortable. Frank said.
"Hey, hey! I understand, give me a month, and I'll give you a brand new model that's better than the current one. Swan patted his chest and promised, "But I can't help it until then, and now I have to borrow or steal the drawings if I want to get them." β
"Forget about those means! I still believe in you very much, if you need resources, you can take them, of course, if you can save a little, you can save as much as possible, we have no source of income now, and we can't afford to spend a lot. Frank said
Time flashed, three weeks passed, and during this time, the Rangers had been wandering among the stars.
"Frankβ!"
"Ahh
An exclamation rang out in the darkness. Frank sat straight up from the bed, he seemed to have had a dream, and a nightmare. His chest rose and fell, and a slight cold sweat appeared on his forehead. "It's her again! Kelly Root! Calling me? Frank rubbed his temples and muttered, "What should come will come eventually." "He's been dreaming about the same thing all the time.
He looked at the time, it was what time it was on the ship, although it was late at night, but he didn't have any sleepiness, got off the bed, he came to the bathroom, a cool cold water splashed on his face, so that the zuihou he carried a trace of sleepiness was also washed away, he propped his hands on the mirror in front of him, he looked at himself in the mirror, the water droplets on his face were falling drop by drop.
He knew that when he was in his dream, when she was calling his name, he knew that the Rangers were about to start running to the planet Char, and it was an unprecedented blow to the Rangers, and they had suffered unprecedented losses during this trip to Char, and the Rangers had suffered heavy losses as a result.
"This damn memory!" Frank muttered to himself, his palm running across his face to wipe the droplets of water from it.
In the middle of the night, he didn't feel any sleep, and now he just wanted to go and have two drinks. When he arrived at the bar, another person was there, and it was Jim. Renault.
"Looks like you can't sleep well either! Jim! Frank brought a bottle from the wine cabinet and sat down across from Renault.
"I've been having nightmares, the same dream these days!" Renault burped, took a drink, and said. Suddenly, he was stunned, immediately stared at Frank, and asked, "Are youβ?" Frank poured himself the wine, Renault tried to see something, but couldn't see anything, and it was very easy for a ghost agent to hide something. Renault retracted his gaze and said to himself, "I dreamed of her!" I've been dreaming of her for the past few days. β
"The same terrible nightmare, in the dream, she was captured by the Zerg, I knew that the worms would not have captives, she was dead, it was just a dream. In the dream, she was captured by the Zerg and trapped in a bug chrysalis, she was assimilated by the bugs, and I saw her slowly turn from a human into a monster! β
"You're drunk! Jim! Cheers, though! Frank said.
Renault smiled and raised his glass: "You're hilarious, indeed, well, cheers-"
Other voices came from inside the bar, and Frank followed the source, finally focusing on the big screen in the bar, and said, "Are you still interested in watching TV?" β
"I don't like silence!"
"Yes! I don't like it either! β
Frank lies on his back, leaning against a large screwed wine table behind him, shaking the wine in his glass with one hand and the back of his head with the other, his eyes fixed on the TV program on the big screen.
"Although, Monsk oh no, sorry, should say Arcturos. According to his spokesman, the new GOV, or Tyranid Dynasty, is doing everything necessary to eliminate the alien threat that still exists to ensure the safety of the empire's colonies. But we know that it's been almost two months. And the report in my hand shows that "
Even though the nightmare-induced adrenaline hasn't subsided, Frank still can't help but want to laugh when he hears the voice on TV. He glanced at the picture on the big screen, in which the man who was engrossed in his reporting was a tall, thin man, and although he was wearing a tattered bag, the whole report had his own unique style, which of course, might be precisely because of the feeling he gave people.
The show continues-
"James. Renault and Frank. Hiss's defection is also full of suspicions"
When Frank heard this, he immediately became interested in what was going to come, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"James? Renault and Frank. Heath had become the Empire's most wanted man because of this incident, and in retrospect, we still have no idea what exactly happened. What is the reason why, and why, overnight, these two heroes of Antiga's main and Tassanis stars suddenly became terrifying rebels? They have saved so many lives, how could they have committed such a horrendous act as a mutiny? βββββ
-- The spokesman of the Tyranid dynasty said, James. Renault and Frank. The Hiss mutiny has wreaked havoc on the nation's army, and at this critical juncture, we will all be in danger of losing our lives if the aliens strike again."
Analysts have pointed out that perhaps Arcturus was simply angry at the fact that someone had ignored the new rules he had set, especially the two superheroes on whom he had high hopes for the main stars of Antiga and Tassanes. Perhaps these attacks were nothing more than an elaborate conspiracy to capture these two men so that the population would not be made aware that Arcturus' authority was not as unbreakable as he himself claimed"
