Chapter 15: Chips

In outer space, a small warship exits the Dead Harbor and approaches the Rangers' fleet.

"It should be one of the mercenaries, it looks like we've entered their territory." Frank said as he looked at the small transport ship that was locked on the screen on the console.

Human Adjutant: "Receiving information"

Another screen popped up, and in the picture, a man in a military uniform smiled: "Welcome to mercenary paradise, the port of the dead!" We are honored to be here with the Renault Rangers! ”

Renault and the others next to the main console looked at each other.

"How do they know about us?" Horner asked with a quizzical look.

Frank immediately smiled when he heard this, and said, "We are now the number one public enemy of the Empire!" With Mengsk's use of the media, now I'm afraid that the whole star sector knows that we are rebels, and it is normal for them to know, and the more important reason is that the flagship of the rangers is too eye-catching, and people with a little vision and insight know that this is the 'Hyperion', once Mengsk's flagship, although it is a little eye-catching, but weishenme is not? ”

"Looks like we're the number one guy!" Renault smiled wryly.

Frank: "That's right! ”

The man on the screen said, "Our leader, Mira. Han admires the Rangers and admires you for not being afraid of the Empire! In this regard, we hope to be honored to be the first to welcome the Rangers in Dead Harbor, and to be able to provide you with some necessary assistance. "The man spoke very gentlemanly, as if the Ranger were a big man.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, besides, this is still someone else's territory, low-key is a must, Frank then smiled: "It's an honor!" Well, we're in trouble! ”

"Please come with me!" The man on the screen said with a smile.

"We just went in with him? Is this safe? Horner said with a look of disbelief.

"Of course it's not safe, so our people also have to be in the highest state of readiness." Renault said.

"If you don't go into the wolf's den, how can you get the shiny silica crystal?" Frank said.

"Helmsman" Horner was helpless. Now, when I get to the tiger's mouth, I have to enter the tiger's den.

The Rangers sailed to an interstellar port under the leadership of the other party, watching as the scattered fragments of outer space collided with the ship's energy shield, causing ripples of energy. Horner wondered, "Isn't there anyone who is coming to recycle this space junk?" With so many dense fragments of stainless steel and metal, it would be a lot of money to collect them all. ”

"It should be a kind of self-protection, perhaps the consensus reached by the mercenaries of all walks of life in the port of the dead." Frank said uncertainly.

Horner: "Consensus? ”

Frank: "The debris is a natural barrier to the Harbor of the Dead, and the dense and high-speed movement of these debris makes it impossible for small ships or warplanes to pass here, which is quite dangerous. In this way, it is difficult to start a large-scale space war in the orbit of the planet, and from another point of view, the debris maintains the stable order of the Dead Man's Harbor and ensures that there will be no large-scale space battles in the orbit of the planet. ”

"Makes sense! Not only can it prevent the expansion of strife among mercenaries. It is also possible to put up effective resistance to foreign invaders! Renault nodded, genuinely agreeing with him.

The name of this planet is named after the only super starport here, that is, "Dead Man's Port", one of the largest starports in the Kepru Star Zone, definitely among the top ten starports, every mercenary group wants to occupy this starport, and there have been scuffles for this, until now, the Dead Man's Port is still occupied by several large mercenaries on the planet. At the same time, they share in the huge profits brought by Starport.

When the five super jumbos of the Renault Ranger sailed to Starport, they quickly attracted the attention of the people here, and the five battle cruisers were comparable to a medium-sized fleet, and. This is not a dilapidated old ship, but five brand-new and most powerful space mobile fortresses - battlecruisers.

The combat power of this fleet is completely comparable to the combat power of a large mercenary army in Dead Harbor, and the rangers can't even attract attention.

News of the Rangers' arrival in Harbor of the Dead quickly spread across the planet, and most of the mercenaries were unfamiliar with the Renault Rangers. But there will definitely be something to hear. The news that Mengsk used the media's Liliang to make the two Renault Franks and the entire Ranger the number one public enemy of the Tyranid Empire had already spread throughout the star sector, as long as anyone who cared a little bit about the facts knew it, as mercenaries. They must also know much more than ordinary people.

The fleet of rangers sailed towards Mira under the guidance of the opposing party. A mooring under the jurisdiction of Han's mercenary group.

Human Adjutant: "Receiving information"

Shortly after they entered the mooring, Mira. Han personally sent a request for communication.

"I received the famous Jim. Renault and his rangers! The only military organization in the whole star region that dares to argue with the Empire" As soon as the picture appeared, a female ridicule came into everyone's ears. Han, in the picture, she has a pair of glittering glasses on her forehead, short pink hair, and the most striking thing is that her right eye is glowing red, which is a synthetic electronic eye.

"It's an honor to meet you! Mira. Chinese! We have a business, maybe you should be interested! Renault paid no attention to her ridicule, and immediately explained the purpose of his visit.

"Wow! Of course interested! "There's no reason not to take a door-to-door business," then! To the ground, let's talk in detail! Mira said.

"Good! Thirty minutes later zaijian. Renault immediately agreed.

As she was about to end the communication, Mira suddenly smiled at Matt and said, "What's that little handsome guy's name?" Will you date me? I'll pay! ”

For a moment, everyone was petrified, especially Horner, who was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"The two of them really have a leg! A mercenary leader can fall in love at first sight? Who believes it? Frank forced a smile and said to himself. He couldn't help but want to tease Horner, and whispered to him, "Matt! Promise her! Maybe when we go to purchase crystal ore, we can get an eighty-fifty discount! Dating is still a beautiful errand for her to pay, make a steady profit without losing money, and easily! ”

"Sir! "Horner was stunned.

"Remember to come! Little handsome guy, I'll wait for you! "Mira. Han said that the communication had ended.

"How? Say yes! You don't suffer! Frank stopped lowering his voice when he saw that the communication was over.

"That's it! Man, it's time for us to get down to business! Renault saw Horner, an honest man who didn't know how to answer with a bitter face and looked at him for help, and he really couldn't bear it. Matt was shot while lying down, absolutely unwarranted.

"We're going to our appointment in half an hour, so let's talk. What chips to take? Renault said

Frank put away his lazy look, paused, and said: "The rangers have five battle cruisers that seem to be powerful, but in fact, they are strong in the outside, we have no source of military spending, and we can't afford to raise these five big guys at all, they are simply gold-swallowing beasts, and the energy consumed by normal operation alone is enough for us to drink a pot." These big guys are starting to drag us down! ”

Frank paused and continued: "As for the chips, our event funds are already very scarce, and we don't have any funds to turn around, so we can only use things as collateral!" ”

"We must get rid of two battle cruisers!" Frank finally said.

"Battlecruisers? Two ships? Sold? ”

Both Renault and Horner were surprised.

"The battle cruiser is one of the main cores of the rangers, and if you can sell it, you can't buy it back!" Horner couldn't help but say.

"Who wants to sell if you can sell it? But we had to sell. Frank said, "There are more soldiers than many soldiers." We used the money from the sale of the two capital ships to provide sufficient logistics and firepower reinforcement for the other three ships, we lacked both silicon crystal ore and the manufacturing drawings of the Ghost fighters, and we also had to use this money to purchase a new batch of Ghost fighters, our air force now has aging or badly damaged fighters, and we also need to ensure the long-term logistics supply of the three capital ships and ground forces, etc., etc. Actually, with the current size of the Rangers, we only need two just enough to reach saturation, and two Battlecruisers are just right for maximum combat power, but we still need to keep one more to prepare for future Ranger expansion, and I don't want to and build restrooms again. ”

"In short, the sale of two battle cruisers is, firstly, to lose two black holes that burn money and save expenses, and secondly, to upgrade the weapons and equipment of the entire army and improve our overall strength. We don't have any chips other than this! Frank said.

"Listen to you, I have to sell two treasures!" Reynolds said.

"I have to sell!" Frank replied in the affirmative

Renault: "In that case, let's sell the Merlin and Poseidon!" (To be continued......)
