The selection of the entourage of the fleet can be said to be a top priority.

Fortunately, Chen Yu's existence easily solved this trouble for Meng Lei.

There is no need for Meng Lei to do it himself, Chen Yu is like his nanny, handling everything for him behind the scenes.

I have to say that Meng Lei crossed dozens of kilometers of wilderness and saved Chen Yu from the pollution of exposed spiritual relics, which was the most correct choice he had ever made.

If it weren't for Chen Yu, the former high-ranking Kyushu Navy, Meng Lei alone would have managed a fleet of nearly 1,000 people, maybe what would have happened now.

With the issue of the fleet members dealt with, there is nothing particularly important to worry about.

The rations that the fleet needed during the voyage, Ning Wen had already gone out early in the morning to procure them.

Although this kid has no money in his pocket, several major material suppliers in Siel City are now familiar with him, and they know that he is the largest high-level member of the fleet formed by the Blue Star player group in the area of Dock 59.

When it comes to trust, there is no need to worry about it at all.

In addition, suppliers of various daily necessities, including war supplies, in the city of Sil provide door-to-door delivery and payment services.

Therefore, don't look at Ning Wen's pocket as clean as his face, but he still easily solved the problem of food procurement.

Just wait for the shipyard to deliver the four converted submarines, and all kinds of materials purchased that day will be shipped directly from the storage area of the lower industrial area to the submarines.

Of course, the final payment was paid by Meng Lei.

Who let him be on the territory of the alliance, and all purchases can be discounted by seventy-fifty!

As for all kinds of ammunition needed to deal with the battle, Meng Lei originally planned to let Ning Wenshun buy it with him, in order to save trouble.

After all, ordinary basic ammunition can be made directly in the engineering compartment of a submarine.

That is, some special types of ammunition, due to the control of the Alliance, all submarines produced in the Alliance shipyard do not have such blueprints, and can only be purchased in specific combat material stores in the city.

Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons

Moreover, real-name registration is also required, which is particularly troublesome.

Therefore, it is best to be able to buy all at once, saving the trouble of running back and forth to register.

But to Meng Lei's surprise, at noon, Lanny suddenly sent him a message.

The content is very simple, saying that it is to surprise him and repay him for saving his life.

Meng Lei was suspicious for a while, and only after repeated questioning did he know.

It turned out that Lenny had applied to Yarman to temporarily transfer a batch of arms and materials from the Utu-Sirku company sales office in Sil City to support Meng Lei's voyage.

Regarding the fact that Meng Lei was holding a batch of insect eggs in his hands, although there were few people who knew about it, Lanny was definitely one of them.

In particular, some of the eggs were carried by him himself.

Therefore, Meng Lei wants to set up a long-distance fleet to sell insect eggs in the near future, and with the resources and connections of the Utu-Sierku Company, he can't hide it at all after a little inquiry.

"Have a nice trip and look forward to the next meeting!"

This message, sent by Yarman, is concise and to the point, standard business language.

"Captain Meng, this time the time is too rushed, it's too late to send it off, I hope to accept it with a little heart, don't dislike it, wait until the next time we meet!"

This message was sent by Lenny, and the tone was obviously much more casual.

After all, the two are friends of life and death, and aside from the identity of business partners, they are also friends in private.

Meng Lei replied one by one, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

Although Lanny did not specify the exact amount of supplies to be supported, it is rare to have this kind of heart.

However, Meng Lei also knew it very well in his heart.

Now that Yarman, the agent of the 66671 channel, has come forward, the share of this batch of ammunition given by Lanny will never be too small!

Therefore, Meng Lei is actually very much looking forward to it.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Just when Meng Lei was busy directing Huo Ye and them, he put the insect eggs placed in other submarines and re-transported them to the Sea Locust.

More than a dozen staff members wore blue uniforms with the logo of Utu-Sirku Industries on their chests.

Under the watchful eye of the security officer of the lower district, he arrived with boxes and boxes of ammunition.

Meng Lei was happy in his heart, and naturally he greeted him warmly.

When the eyes are fixed on the ammo boxes that are painted in different colors and marked with different symbols.

Meng Lei's expression was stunned, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The long-dormant golden finger gave a hint at this time.

(Explosive Electromagnetic Cannon Ammo Box: More powerful than ordinary standard ammo boxes, while causing penetrating wounds, it will also produce an explosion in the enemy's body, causing severe lacerations, and then causing a lot of blood loss, which is used to deal with the thick-skinned alien sea monster, which has a miraculous effect!) ）

……

(Armor-piercing electromagnetic cannon ammo box: More powerful and penetrating than ordinary standard ammo boxes, even the shell of Moluok and the observer is as hard as steel, but it is limited by the caliber of ammunition, it is difficult to act on the battle between warships.) ）

……

(Depleted Electromagnetic Cannon Ammo Box: The use of materials with radioactive elements, while causing ordinary penetrating damage, will also bring a certain degree of periodic secondary damage to the target, under normal circumstances, suitable for dealing with abyssal beasts with tenacious vitality.) ）

……

(Steel high-explosive railgunball: A special steel material is added to the shell, which can cause a temporary stun to the large sea monster after the explosion, causing it to temporarily lose consciousness, and the high-explosive filling in the warhead will also greatly increase the explosion power, more than three times higher than the damage of ordinary railgunballs!) ）

……

Ammunition of various types and functions swept through Meng Lei's eyes one by one.

Electromagnetic shells, machine gun shells, railgun shells, EMP grenades, grenades, grenades, and more......

To the polite and respectful greetings of the staff of the Utu-Sirku Company, all kinds of ammunition and weapons were transported into the three-story warehouse of the Sea Locust.

There were hundreds of boxes, and it took an hour to move them back and forth.

In the end, the Sea Locust's warehouse could not fit at all, and even the deck passage in the cabin was full of all kinds of ammunition boxes!

It is enough to see the amount of this batch of materials!

Huo Ye, Huo Ke and the others were all stupid, and they were extremely dazed for a while.

"Commander, the ship hasn't arrived yet, why did you have the ammunition brought over now? We can't let go of this ship! ”

Looking at the ammunition reserves in front of him like a small military factory, Huo Ye asked in a sneering manner.

Meng Lei shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, and said with a hint of emotion in surprise:

"I didn't buy these things, they were given to us by that guy from Lenny, and I didn't know they would come to the door at this time."

"Lenny?"

"Is that guy still in Syr City?"

Hearing this, Hawke and the others were stunned, but they didn't expect this to be the result.

Immediately, Simon took a deep breath and smacked his lips:

"Good fellow, Lenny is quite generous this time! So many war materials, to say the least, are worth 100,000 marks, and it is also an internal preferential price, and it can't be put down without 150,000 marks on the market, Lenny has really made a lot of money! ”

"Indeed!"

Hawke next to him also duly added:

"Not to mention anything else, this steel high-explosive railgun shell will have to be sold for at least four thousand marks in the military-industrial outpost of the Alliance!

Shallow sea gathering places are even more scarce, and the selling price is even higher!

These ten railgun shells alone are worth tens of thousands! ”

"And those depleted bombs, they are not bargains!"

Hawke's face showed rare shock and doubt, and finally felt that something was wrong, and said suspiciously:

"What the hell is this guy Lenny all about? I'm afraid it's not as simple as the Alliance's material store owner, right? Could it be that he is from a private arms company? ”

Lenny hadn't told Hawke, Simon and others about his true identity before.

Everyone was kept in the dark, and they always thought that he was just a small shop owner.

But now, anyone can see that Lanny's identity is by no means simple.

An ordinary small boss, to put it bluntly, is just a senior clerk, how can he have such a big hand?

Several people turned their heads to look at Meng Lei with a thick question in their eyes.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Meng Lei couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly:

"Since Lenny didn't tell you, then don't ask more, if you want to know, when we finish this business, the next time we meet Lenny for a drink, you will ask him in person!"

With that, Meng Lei turned around and walked outside the cabin.

Lenny's so-called surprise he saw, it was indeed quite a surprise!

These hundreds of thousands of war materials not only solved his urgent needs, but also reduced a lot of trouble and pressure for him.

The point is, none of these ammos are ordinary ammo, but special ammo with other effects, which are designed to deal with some of the more difficult alien sea monsters.

It can be seen that Lenny does have a heart.

It's just that what I don't know is that the cost of this batch of arms was paid by Lenny himself and temporarily borrowed the inventory of Sil City?

Or in the name of the Utu-Sirku company, as a friendly aid?

If it was the former, then this favor was too big, and Meng Lei didn't even think about how to repay it.

But if it is the second case, then Meng Lei is quite calm.

Personal friendship and business cooperation are not comparable, and the two are not the same concept.

But if you think about it, the latter should be more likely.

After all, even Yarman knows that as the agent of the 66671 channel, he can't lick his face and let his subordinates pay for favors out of their own pockets, right?

"You can't ask about this kind of thing openly, you can find an opportunity to test it when you go back.

If it was given by Lanny personally, then he had to return this favor, after all, that guy is not a big tyrant, how long will it take to save enough for 100,000 with his salary!

Don't make him poor all at once, this thing can still be handled......"

Just thinking like this, Chen Yu suddenly walked over from a distance.

Seeing the weapons and ammunition boxes stacked on both sides of the dock passage and neatly stacked, Chen Yu joked with a smile:

"Commander Meng, the ship hasn't arrived yet, so the things are ready to be bought? You can't wait! ”

Hearing this, Meng Lei suddenly turned his head to look, and planned to make a joke with Chen Yu.

When I looked up, I saw that behind Chen Yu, who was dressed in a straight captain's uniform, there were actually two people following.

They are the bearded Dislav of the Winter Fleet, and Jiang Song, the head of the Deep Blue Fleet.

Each of these two guys is holding a potted plant, one of which is a poplometre flower, and the other is a pot of sea emperor bamboo.

The former is as red as fire, as gorgeous as the sunset.

The latter is as green as jade, like a pine and straight.

Meng Lei was stunned at the time, why did these two people come?

Could it be that you are here to see you off?

The gathering two days ago was impressive, and it invisibly brought the relationship between several people closer.

In addition to the Northern Underworld Fleet, the Winter Fleet and the Deep Blue Fleet have now become the most loyal allies of the Chongming Fleet.

Regarding Meng Lei's upcoming voyage, these two people also knew something about it.

Of course, the matter of the worm eggs was strictly confidential, and they only knew that Meng Lei was going to go far away, but they didn't know what he was going to do.

Suddenly appeared here at the moment, still holding a potted plant in his hand, and the purpose was self-evident.

"Captain Meng, I haven't seen you for two days, you're moving fast enough, you're ready to leave?"

Jiang Song stepped forward with a big grin, hugged the pot of sea emperor bamboo with one arm, and patted Meng Lei's arm enthusiastically.

Dislav touched his beard, stepped forward with a smile, and said:

"Captain Meng, my friend, I really regret that I can't go side by side with you, the fleet still has a lot of things to deal with, and I really can't leave! Let this pot of poplomegranate flowers accompany you as a kind of sustenance for me! ”

As he spoke, Disslav handed Meng Lei the fiery red potted plant with both hands, and then gave him a big bear hug.

The three of them had a great conversation.

And agreed that when Meng Lei returned next time, he must organize another drinking party.

Next time, it would be best to bring the An Ran of the Northern Underworld Fleet over and expand the alliance circle.

Meng Lei smiled and nodded, agreeing.

And, through today's incident, he also discovered a very interesting thing.

It seems that for Blue Star players, giving potted plants has become a signature etiquette.

No matter whose fleet sets sail, a potted plant will be sent as a blessing.

This rule seems to have started from Enron, and it has continued since then, and I don't know if everyone is "smelling alike", or if the types of congratulatory gifts on this alien planet are too barren.

In short, from today onwards, this rule should be difficult to break.

At least within the 66671 channel, I'm afraid it is difficult to have other forms.

After all, this is a tacit agreement between the top fleets in the waterway.

6:40 p.m.

After sending away Jiang Song and Dislav, the renovation project at the Sil City shipyard was completed one after another.

Four brand-new F-class exploration craft lined up and docked at Dock 59 one after another.

At the same time, the group of alien local crew members hired by Meng Lei from the talent market yesterday, as well as the voyage team members personally selected by Chen Yu, were also in place.

Meng Lei instructed everyone to distribute all kinds of materials on the Sea Locust to each submarine equally.

Eventually, after a simple mobilization.

Meng Lei waved his hand, his eyes swept over the entourage present, and shouted loudly:

"Everyone prepare, set sail!"
