Chapter 525: Mercenary Regiment
Pirates plundered on a frenzied basis, closing the shipping routes again. Many countries, no matter how big or small the chamber of commerce, dare to continue to run business.
The loss of trade between countries has had a significant impact on their economies. Especially those small and medium-sized forces, the economy has fallen sharply.
In order to ensure the smooth flow of commercial routes, various countries have sent their main fleets to escort them. Although the lords of various countries tried their best to protect these caravans, their fleets were too small to be taken care of.
In desperation, these businessmen can only figure out their own way. For a time, mercenary groups from various countries rose. Merchants from various countries offered high prices for mercenary groups to protect the caravans.
Many mercenary regiments were established after veterans were discharged, and they were not only strong in combat, but also rich in combat experience.
With the intervention of these mercenary groups, the caravan can continue to operate. However, the high employment costs have also caused the price of goods to skyrocket.
There are pros and cons, and the prices of various materials are rising wildly, making the people complain. The caravan was running normally, the merchants were no longer calling, and the common people were surrounding the government building.
In fact, the root cause of the rise in prices is not the high cost of mercenary groups. There are only a small number of merchants who really need escort, most of them are local businessmen, and they sit on the ground and start the price.
Countries are in a uproar because of rising prices, and Lin Yifan just took the opportunity to form a mercenary group.
Lin Yifan cooperated with Princess Hongyu and used the large dock of the Hongyu Empire to create a batch of warships for mercenaries.
These ships are similar in appearance to the warships of the mercenary group, and the equipment inside is all second-level technology.
In order to escort the escort smoothly, Lin Yifan also asked Yinyue to lead the shadow troops to assist in secret. The low price and strong strength made Lin Yifan's mercenary group develop quickly.
The fame of Lin Yifan's mercenary group quickly spread, and businessmen from various countries scrambled to be the first to compete for the place of escort.
When the mercenary group was first established, Lin Yifan would take it as long as there was business. And now that the fame has been hit, not just anyone can get a place.
However, Lin Yifan's purpose was not to make money, but to use the identity of the mercenary group as a cover to get close to the tens of thousands of living stars.
However, not every one of the tens of thousands of resident stars has merchants on it, some of them are equivalent to military regions, and the families of the battleship soldiers live on them.
These military region planets, Lin Yifan is ready to find a way to get close to them in the end. First of all, use the mercenary group as a cover to secretly transport the armor soldiers to those planets.
There are tens of thousands of habiting planets, of which more than 1,000 belong to military regions, and the rest are ordinary habiting planets.
It took Lin Yifan nearly three months to successfully lurk the armor soldiers on the ordinary habitation star. These armorers are all hidden in the mountains, and when the day comes to their rescue, they will immediately take the families of the warriors away.
In addition to forming mercenary groups, Lin Yifan also formed several pirate legions. These pirate legions specialized in robbing the official caravans of the empire, and in the course of three months, Lin Yifan plundered a lot of valuable materials.
The official caravans were looted several times over a period of three months, much to the chagrin of the lords. The main fleet has been sent many times to encircle and suppress, but each time it is a step late.
Those lords really had no choice but to suspend the operation of the official caravan. Unable to see the official caravan, Lin Yifan changed his target and set his sights on the empire's convoy.
The convoys were carrying armaments, which were larger than the oil and water of the official caravanserais. The defense of the Imperial Transport Team is much stronger, and it is nothing to Lin Yifan.
The six forces are secretly mobilizing supplies, and it is clear that they have big moves in the future. They may not dare to go to the pirate galaxy, but they are still certain in dealing with the Hongyu Empire and the small countries in the Hongyu Empire Alliance.
And now that Lin Yifan is so stirred, the imperial transport team has also suffered heavy losses. A lot of supplies were plundered, the fleet at the front line was not replenished, and the battleship soldiers were arguing every day.
However, it was the local soldiers and officers who dared to make trouble, and as for the officers and soldiers on the colonial planet, they could only endure it in silence.
The lack of supplies has greatly demoralized the front-line fleet. The war was imminent, and those lords were anxious. In desperation, they could only mobilize a fleet from the hinterland of the empire to undertake the escort mission of the imperial convoy.
However, these lords of the country looked too highly at their escort fleet, and Lin Yifan didn't take them seriously at all, and it was okay to have an escort fleet.
Lin Yifan mobilized Jiaolong, Red Flame, and Python to deal with the transport team with an escort fleet.
However, there is a change in tactics, and it must not be sent in the past, but in the way of pirates. To this end, the Prosperity created a batch of space bombs that were popular on the black market.
This bomb is often used by pirates, and although it is not very powerful, it is cheap and can be purchased in large quantities to make up for the lack of power.
The three generals used the tactics of the sea of bombs to successfully destroy the Empire's escort fleet. This time, not only did they plunder the supplies of the Imperial convoy, but they also captured many of the main warships of the Imperial Army.
When the lords of the kingdom learned that the convoy had been destroyed, their faces turned green with anger. Especially the lords of the countries who launched the pirate plunder, they hated themselves very much at this time, how could they come up with such a bad idea.
"Go! Bring me back the main fleet, and I'll kill these abominable pirates!" ”
At this time, the Bald Snail King was furious in the main hall, and it was his convoy that suffered the most losses. He now hated not only the pirates, but also the two lords of the country, the wolf and the lion.
If they hadn't secretly bribed pirates, he wouldn't have let his men pretend to be pirates. It's good now, I attracted the real pirates, and I lost so many supplies.
On the other side of the galaxy, the Lord of the Wild Wolf Country also lost his temper in the palace: "Damn bald snail old ghost, you actually play yin with me, dare to attack my imperial fleet!" ”
"This old immortal thing is really insidious, we must find a way to get back this loss!" The Lion Lord roared angrily.
"Yes, go check! Be sure to find out the route of their convoy for me, and you must get the loss back! The Wild Wolf Lord commanded his opponent.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely find out the route of their convoy!" One of the ministers saluted respectfully, then turned and left the hall.
The Lion Lord looked at the wolf Lord in the communication video and said, "If we push that old ghost into a hurry, he may turn against us!"
"Turn your face, turn your face, sooner or later there will be a battle between us and him!" The Wild Wolf Country Lord said angrily.
