Chapter 1416: Arriving at the Merchant Alliance
Not long after Jiang Fei's communication was sent, it received extreme attention from the top of the Merchant Alliance.
Now the merchant alliance and the Vasari Legion are in full swing, and the battle is very stalemate, although with the help of Tirio, he got some warship entities for research, but the strength of the Vasari Legion is there, and it is not so easy to win this war.
What do businessmen value most? Money! What is the most expensive thing to fight a war? It is also money!
At the beginning, the Merchant Alliance was willing to pay protection money to the Vasari Legion, wasn't it to break the fortune and avoid disaster? What is it to pay a few protection fees, there is a way that when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, and fighting is the most expensive business, but the Merchant Alliance doesn't want to fight, Aino doesn't do it, don't look at the current war situation, but Aino has no intention of reconciliation at all, he is clear that he will fight to the end with the Merchant Alliance.
Therefore, although the merchant alliance is winning one after another, these big businessmen are also angry in their hearts, if they use these military funds to do business, they will already make a lot of money, how can it be like now, a large amount of money is wasted here.
Not only are the big merchants unhappy, but the soldiers below are also a little war-weary, although they are gradually gaining the upper hand, but is the Vasari army easy to provoke?
So now the Merchant Alliance also needs good news to boost morale, and it also needs a new force that is not afraid of death to join the battle, and Jiang Fei's appearance just gave them a good opportunity.
The enemy's defection is undoubtedly the best news on the battlefield, which can definitely boost the morale of the soldiers, and the 30,000 or so people under Jiang Fei are not ordinary soldiers, they are all marines, and they are all elites with a combat strength of more than 200,000.
With these tens of thousands of marines, the cost paid by the Merchant Alliance will be much lower when attacking fortresses or planets in the future, but there is also a problem that makes the top management of the Merchant Alliance very hesitant.
That is how to ensure Jiang Fei's sincerity, in case this is a trick played by the Vasari army, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In the end, after discussion, the top management of the Merchant Alliance decided to take in Jiang Fei and others, but not to integrate them into the combat unit, the purpose of this was very simple, the Merchant Alliance needed Jiang Fei to revolt before the battle to improve the morale of its own soldiers, but they did not dare to fully trust Jiang Fei.
"Agree to accept us?" Jiang Fei nodded immediately after listening to the decision of the Merchant Alliance, he urgently needed a place to settle down now, Sarila had reported to him before, there was not much energy on the Meteorite, and it had to be docked for supplies.
Soon, the Meteorite entered the airport of a large fortress according to the guidance of the Merchant Alliance, but the dispatcher of the airport looked at Jiang Fei very strangely, because this Meteorite was originally a ship of the Merchant Alliance, and it was just robbed by Jiang Fei before.
"My lord, please come with me, General Luster has been waiting for you for a long time. "The Merchant Alliance has given Jiang Fei quite high treatment, after all, what he brought was not tens of thousands of ordinary sailors, but elite marines.
"Okay!" Jiang Fei nodded, and then took Bison and Garona with him, while Sarila was left behind to take care of the rest of the Meteorite.
"Your Excellency, please!" a mid-level officer led Jiang Fei all the way through the fortress, and Jiang Fei could see that the architectural style of the Merchant Alliance and the Vasari Legion was very different.
Unlike the Vasari Legion, which uses biotechnology, even the metal is a biochemical metal with self-healing properties, and the Merchant Alliance pursues quantity and low cost, so both fortresses and warships are made of ordinary metal, so the cost of purchasing their fleet is greatly reduced.
For the same medium fleet, the Vasari Legion may be dozens of cruisers with a bunch of small ships, while the Merchant Alliance has more than a hundred heavy cruisers, although if it is a single head, the ships of the Merchant Alliance are certainly not opponents, but the absolute superiority in numbers is enough to level this technological gap.
Moreover, there is another reason why the Merchant Alliance pursues the number of warships, that is, there are too few strong men under their command, and there are not too many marines in the Merchant Alliance, so Jiang Fei and the others generally encountered mechanical soldiers armed with lightsabers when they were engaged in broadside battles before, and there were a small number of masters who came back and forth to save the field.
It is precisely because of the lack of masters that Jiang Fei's arrival makes the Merchant Alliance attach great importance to it, even if he doesn't worry about letting Jiang Fei's people go to the battlefield, but using these people to organize a bodyguard company will definitely make a lot of money!
The high-level leaders of the Merchant Alliance believe that there is no warrior who cannot be defeated by money, not to mention that Jiang Fei and they really took refuge in it, even if they are fraudulent surrenders, these old guys of the Merchant Alliance are confident that they will be corrupted by money in a very short period of time, so that they will never want to return to the Vasari Legion.
There was not much time, Jiang Fei and the others came to a reception room, and as soon as they entered the door, a human with big eye bubbles greeted them.
"Hahahaha, you are Mr. Jiang Fei, right?" The big-eyed bubble laughed, Jiang Fei observed through the goggles that this guy's combat power was only about two million, although he could be regarded as a strong man, but in the Vasari Legion, he was a small officer at best.
This is the difference between the Merchant Alliance and the Vasari Legion, in the Vasari Legion, the weak are not qualified to manage the strong, even if they are assigned from above, they will not be satisfied from below, which is why Trunks is so hard in the background, and he can only be the captain of the Star Guard, the Star Guard is nice, in fact, it is just the security guard outside the fortress of Caladis.
But the merchant alliance is different, people are talking about capital, not personal strength, in the hearts of merchants, money is the first, with money, I can build a fleet, I can hire strong people to escort me, so the general of the merchant alliance may not be amazing, but he or his family must be rich.
"That's right, hello, General Luster. Although Jiang Fei's temper has changed due to the infection of evil substances, when others greet him with a smile, he will not fight with anyone.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang Fei is really young and promising, at such a young age, he not only has a strength that others dream of, but also has such a powerful army!" Luster complimented.
"It's just a coincidence. Jiang Fei smiled and waved his hand.
"Come on, come on, I'll sit down and talk. After a pleasantry, Luster pulled Jiang Fei and chatted to the point.
"General Luster, I don't know how the Merchant Alliance intends to settle us, if you are not at ease, please give us some provisions, and we will leave at once. Jiang Fei said straight to the point.
