Chapter 537 - Very Serious
The news of the truce spread to all corners of the universe at the speed of its own wormholes, and even isolated places like Planet 4 received the news.
The two sides agreed to cease fire on all fronts at the same time and to start armistice negotiations to determine the aftermath. Although the news is general, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the war started by the Federation and then the Federation took the initiative to propose a truce, and the advantage was the side of the Tang Dynasty.
After getting the news, Chu Jungui, who was building the starship, put down his work and returned to the orbital platform. In the office, Li Ruobai was flipping through the latest battle reports and news.
"Is there a truce?" asked Chu Jungui.
"Nominally. Now it is only a temporary ceasefire, and the two sides have begun to negotiate, and if they cannot reach an agreement, they may continue to fight at any time. Even if you finally get to an agreement, you will probably have to move a few times in the middle. If you don't understand, how can you talk about it clearly?" Li Ruobai saw it clearly.
Chu Jungui received the battle report, swept through the entire content in an instant, and knew the situation clearly. The dynasty's plan to run through the line was a great success, securing the Landing Field system and fortifying one of its moons. Jumping from here, within a 30 light-year radius it is possible to attack the Federation's 12 manned galaxies, including 2 significant regional colony galaxies and 6 industrial stars.
In this way, the dynasty has the strategic initiative and can threaten many key points in the heart of the Federation at any time. The Federation must place heavy troops around the perimeter to confront each other, so that a large number of mobile forces will be firmly contained.
In the N77 space, the rest of the Ninth Fleet held out much longer than expected, and the Federation's losses were twice as high as expected, and the battle loss ratio was completely unacceptable. Even if the main fleet is mobilized to force the Ninth Fleet back, it will be useless. In this case, the Federation had to return to the negotiating table.
Li Ruobai waited for Chu Jungui to finish reading the battle report and said, "What do you think?"
"Are we safe?"
"Of course not. Li Ruobai smiled and said, "The agreement is just an agreement, and it is not binding at all." If there is, it is only for the main fleets of both sides. Many of the Confederacy's legions are private in nature and are not very subject to the central government. They are unlikely to openly violate the ceasefire, but they are not really strict with it either. To put it bluntly, they will find all possible ways to test the weaknesses of their opponents, including low-intensity wars. Do you understand?"
"So this agreement doesn't guarantee our safety?"
"Guarantees, of course, not guarantees, even if a formal agreement is signed, it does not guarantee our safety. The agreement only protects the official forces of the dynasty and the Federation, and our nature is a registered mercenary organization, oh, we haven't registered yet. Well, then our nature is similar to that of a star thief, the only difference is probably that we will not be wanted by the dynasty, that's all. ”
"Isn't it safe?" Chu Jungui frowned slightly, and began to seriously think about where the danger came from. The best guarantee of safety is nothing more than the elimination of all sources of danger.
Li Ruobai already knew Chu Jungui very well at this time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Don't worry, I'm already making preparations." I'll send a message out in the next communication window and have someone help us gather the hazards around us. ”
"As soon as possible. Chu Jungui said seriously.
At this time, a little flickering light lit up in the deep sky in the distance, which was a signal for optical communication. Then a high-speed shuttle boat appeared, slowly docking at the orbital station.
It is a small dinghy with a crew of just a dozen and is usually used for emergency communications. Zhao Jingsi walked out of the shuttle boat, and then was brought to Chu Jungui.
Zhao Jingsi gave a military salute to Chu Jungui and said, "The colonel sent me here to inform you of a piece of information. With the fighting on both sides at a halt, the Colonel decided to lead the fleet back and jump away from the mobile base in 24 hours. The defense here will be taken over by the Fourth Fleet. Because of the urgency of time, the colonel did not have time to say goodbye in person, so he specially sent me to say goodbye to you. ”
Somehow, Chu Jungui felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. However, he has the ability to control his emotions perfectly, and his face is as calm as if nothing has happened.
Li Ruobai shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's good, I don't know when I'm going to see you now." ”
Zhao Jingsi looked at Chu Jungui with a complicated expression. He absolutely didn't like the man in front of him, but he couldn't hate it, and he admired it a little. He knew very well that it was the seemingly absurd behavior and design of the man in front of him that turned the tide of the battle bit by bit.
He also watched with his own eyes how Chu Jungui turned an orbital station from scratch, from a charging station to a starship factory. In front of this man, it seems that miracles are just at hand.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Jingsi gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, help the colonel!"
Li Ruobai was taken aback, grabbed Zhao Jingsi, and shouted, "What's wrong with Sister Xi?!"
Chu Jungui gently pressed Li Ruobai's hand down and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I've heard that as soon as the colonel returns, she will be transferred to the post for review on whether she has committed treason on the front lines. ”
Li Ruobai frowned, "Is the news true?"
"This was revealed to me by a very good friend of mine in the gendarmerie. He was very unaccustomed to some of the above acts, and it was said that the head of the gendarmerie department did not advocate the examination this time, but the report had already been handed to the above, and the review process had already begun, and he could not do anything about it. ”
Chu Jungui looked at Li Ruobai and asked, "Is it serious?"
Li Ruobai frowned and said, "It's a bit serious......"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Jungui turned around and left.
"Jungui, what are you doing?"
Chu Jun turned around and said, "Go and knock down the mobile base and rob people." ”
Not only was Zhao Jingsi shocked, but Li Ruobai was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive!"
Chu Jungui said calmly: "I'm not impulsive, and it's not difficult to move the base." I grabbed someone and left, most of the capital ships didn't have time to react, and as for the other starships, they were probably not my opponents. ”
Li Ruobai covered his face and said, "Sister Xi didn't have treason, but she became treason when you messed with it like this! Jun Gui, are you addicted to robbing? Don't think about robbing everything, okay?"
"Didn't you mean it's very serious?"
"It's a little, not very!" Li Ruobai raised his voice and stopped in front of Chu Jungui at the same time to prevent him from really driving the starship.
"Jungui, you listen to me. Once such a review has been initiated, it will not be stopped halfway through, as a special review will only be initiated when there is conclusive evidence. In addition, Sister Xi is a member of the Lin family, and you don't know the current situation in the country, the people of the Lin family have been targeted. You must know that the Lin family has been working in the army for hundreds of years, and while their power is deep, it also means that there are many enemies. ”
"I see, it's very serious indeed. Chu Jun took Li Ruobai to the side and strode towards the starship.
