Li Ruobai explained in detail, and Chu Jungui understood more details.

Under the central government of the federation as a whole, the actual structure is relatively loose, and each star field and the grand family have a considerable degree of autonomy, which is also the basis for the unique private military nature of some legions of the federation. Powerful families tend to build their own legions, and the Federation will give some basic army building expenses and provide basic training, and then most of the main equipment of the legion is borne by each family itself, so that it becomes a semi-private army.

In major battles, such legions are subject to the conscription of the Federation, but in peacetime, they have a certain right to act autonomously.

Under the loose military system, most of the family legions are known for being elite, and their combat power is not bad, even surpassing the legions formed by the star field itself, and excellent generals are constantly emerging. In this way, the descendants of the famous families of the Federation, especially the Ring of Roses family, have a high starting point in the army, many opportunities, and promotions are not limited by seniority, and they are promoted when they have merit, so a group of very young major generals have appeared. However, the threshold for the promotion of major generals to lieutenant generals has become quite high, and the rigid requirements for combat merits have made many young major generals can only accumulate one war at a time, and most people slowly turn gray in the process.

The military system of the Tang Dynasty was relatively strict, and there were strict requirements and restrictions for promotion. For example, Chu Jungui is still only a second lieutenant, and Li Ruobai, as a pilot, has a high starting point for his innate military rank, but he is only a major so far. In the absence of battlefield military merits, if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty want to be promoted, they have to slowly climb up the ladder step by step.

The Federation is not monolithic, many families have feuds with each other, and the hatred between each other will even exceed the contradictions between the Federation and the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ruobai analyzed that Agnes was obviously cheated by Ganbo, and he didn't know the situation of Planet 4 at all, so he would give Chu Jungui such a long time to develop, and the preparation when he encountered the battle for the first time was completely unqualified. All indications are that Gamble did not share true information with the Crystal Falcon Legion when he left.

After breaching the second nest, Agnes would leave Planet 4 immediately, obviously intending to leave Chu Jun to the next successor. This kind of attack on the enemy is not uncommon, and Li Ruobai does not mind playing an important role in it, so he also supports Chu Jungui's sale of chariots. In this environment, strengthening yourself is the first choice.

It's just that Chu Jungui's chariot was sold cheaper.

By the time Agnes had finished her meeting with the officers, her exclusive room had been built. She was noncommittal about this room, but after comparing Li Xinyi and Li Ruobai's residences, she knew that this was already the best set in the entire base. After looking at the room, Agnes handed over a ransom list.

Chu Jungui discussed it with Li Ruobai, and Li Ruobai thought that most of the people on the list should have some background background. The role of these people in the shadow of the end is no different from that of ordinary people, it is better to let it go, both for ransom and for favors.

Looking at this list of 200 names, Chu Jungui was a little reluctant. It's a good amount of labor, and he has some doubts about the usefulness of things like favors.

"Human affection is ......" Li Ruobai tried to explain, but found that some of them couldn't be understood, especially because they couldn't explain it quantitatively. For example, there may be more than one favor between a favor and two favors, and adult favors are equivalent to several small favors, and so on.

Chu Jungui hadn't figured out this knowledge yet, and Agnes' ransom had already been delivered.

Several Crystal Falcon's high-speed chariots parked outside the gates of the Shadow of Doom Keep. After receiving the report, Chu Jungui personally greeted the fortress, and saw that an elegant man in front of the chariot was already standing there waiting.

Seeing Chu Jungui, the elegant man took a step forward and said, "I am Hearn, the senior staff officer of the Crystal Falcon Legion, and I am sent a ransom on the order of General Agnes, please check." ”

He handed over a box, then pressed it on the side, and the lid opened automatically.

Inside the box are 4 dark gold cards, all made of exotic crystals, each with the Commonwealth Bank logo and the number 10 million.

"This is a fixed-value crystal card issued by the Commonwealth Bank, bearer, and can be freely circulated in any star field. Anyone with this card can open an account at any Commonwealth Bank branch and deposit federal dollars in the face value of the card. Under no circumstances will the Commonwealth Bank inquire into or verify the identity of the cardholder. ”

This is equivalent to a special large amount of cash, but it is usually not available in the market.

The ransom of 40 million is a little more than expected.

Chu Jungui took the card box and put it away, then returned to the fortress and let Agnes out. The delivery of personnel and vehicles will take place in 1 day, at which time Chu Jungui will deliver 200 vehicles and the personnel on the list.

The delivered combat vehicles did not increase their configuration, as required by tactical deception, but quite the opposite. Under Li Ruobai's painstaking explanation, Chu Jungui finally understood that the previous pricing was not too high, but too low. Vehicles are priced based on power rather than cost. For example, if this vehicle can go back and forth with the Federation's main vehicle, then the pricing should be based on the price of the Federation's vehicle.

In the end, Chu Jungui redesigned the attitude control and fire control system of the chariot with a reduced performance, integrating the two systems into one and using only a biochip to drive. The performance of such a vehicle is about a third lower than that of its own version, but the armor and weapons are the same, so the overall combat power is only a small loss.

When Hearn sent the crystal card worth 140 million again, Chu Jungui asked the crystal falcon warrior who was scheduled to be released to leave the base in the chariot. The last 30 tanks, which are responsible for carrying ammunition, will depart an hour late.

This was Li Ruobai's idea, in case Agnes used the chariot he bought to turn around and attack the Doomsday Shadow. However, Agnes did not seem to have any intention of breaking the contract, and there was no movement after receiving the chariot.

Releasing a group of Falcon Warriors had an unexpected effect, and all the Crystal Falcon Warriors who were still in captivity surrendered. After careful questioning, Chu Jungui learned that these soldiers were all from civilian backgrounds and had ordinary family backgrounds. Their families could not afford the rescue operation. It's not because of the ransom, as civilians, their ransom amount is not much, but if they want to leave Planet 4 and cross several star fields to return home, the cost of travel is far more than the ransom, which is not at all affordable for their families. Normally, they would have to wait for the two sides to exchange prisoners.

However, the exchange of prisoners of war was a matter between the Tang Dynasty and the Federation, and it was far away. As a result, most of the remaining warriors felt abandoned and surrendered.
