"Our Panhua Empire turns out to be so awesome," He Tiezhou, the security chief of the Yinglong Pirate Group, couldn't help but swear.
"Of course, this valuable information has been collected and compiled by our History Bureau from all over the universe over hundreds of thousands of years. Our ancestor, the Panhua Empire, was once the top country in the universe." Shi Mo said proudly.
"That's not right! Why did the Aleman Empire suddenly betray our Panhua Empire? Why did our Panhua Empire use 30 million warships to destroy the 220 million warships of the nine major cosmic powers? How did the Panhua Empire use 6 million warships to flee in the first place? Defeat the combined fleets of the Fuso Empire and the United States of Byot with 36 million warships? Why not just surrender when the whole universe is attacking the Panhua Empire?..." He Tiezhou, the big boss, couldn't help but put forward this bunch Obvious irrationality.
"Director He, I don't know the answers to these questions you asked!" Shi Mo smiled bitterly and spread his hands helplessly.
"Captain, your ancestor, Captain Lei Hao, was the former battleship captain of the Panhua Empire. He should know some information!" Deputy Captain Qi Mu asked expectantly. He was very interested in Shi Mo's story about the two space wars in which the Panhua Empire defeated the greater number with less. Since the advancement of science and technology in the universe is very slow, the military technology of many fifth-level civilizations is not very different. It is very difficult to destroy the opponent with a large proportion of the fleet's battle damage ratio. 1:1 is normal, 1:2 is rare, and 1: 3 is almost impossible. Shi Mo said that the battle loss ratio of the Panhua Empire in the two wars was about 1:8, which is amazing.
"Hey, Lao Qi, the old captain's defense area at that time was the Yunmeng Galaxy, which is now the Pirate Nebula, and he did not participate in those two wars at all. According to the old captain, the secret security level of the Panhua Empire's subsequent sudden increase in combat power It belongs to Z level and very few people know about it, so the old team leader is not qualified to know at all!" Lei Hengbang explained.
"Let me tell you! Let's stop remembering how powerful our ancestors were. No matter how powerful they were, they were still destroyed by others. Let's go back to the question of Deputy Commander Qi. Should we increase the number of battleships in Chi You's fleet to 20,000? ?" Zhang Lian said impatiently. He is not interested in the history of the Panhua people at all. He is a realist. No matter how good history is, it is just history and will not be of any help to current problems. The increase in the number of Chi You's fleet directly affects his interests, and his United Front Bureau will provide more fundraising funds.
"Puff!" Lei Hengbang knocked on the conference table, interrupted several giants who wanted to argue with Zhang Lian, and said: "Old Zhang! We still need to understand history. Although it has been many years, it is true that It cannot bring us any actual benefits, but it is the root of our Panhua clan and the flag that our Yinglong Pirates can use to unite the descendants of the Panhua clan in all countries in the universe. If our Yinglong Pirates lose the flag that commemorates our Panhua clan, With a glorious history, we will become real thugs who have no bottom line and only know how to plunder in the universe. That is not our pursuit. The old leader fled the Ross Empire because he could not bear the persecution and oppression of our Panhua clan by the Ross Empire. , established the Yinglong Pirate Group for self-protection. We must not forget the ultimate goal of the Yinglong Pirate Group, which is to rescue all the suppressed descendants of the Panhua tribe in the universe and establish a new Panhua Empire..."
When no one was paying attention, Intelligence Director Li Zifeng was dismissive of Lei Hengbang's words deep in his eyes. He has a large amount of secret information about all levels of the Yinglong Pirate Group, and he can judge the authenticity of such slogan-like preaching at a glance.
"Of course, those are the long-term future. What we urgently need to solve now is the issue of expanding the size of the pirate group proposed by Lao Qi. Everyone, tell us your opinions." Lei Hengbang gave a speech that felt good about himself, as if he himself Believe it or not, I finally got back to the topic.
"I agree to expand the size of the Chiyou fleet's capital ships." Lan Yiting, the only woman among the nine giants, expressed her point of view clearly. She hesitated for a moment whether to say what she said next, but finally gave up.
Qi Mu saw Lan Yiting's expression and was very grateful to her for supporting his proposal, and asked: "Director Lan, if you have anything else to say, just go ahead! We, the nine leaders, are responsible for all the affairs of the Dragon Pirates. , there is nothing to worry about."
Lan Yiting said: "Our Publicity Bureau pays more attention to politicians from various countries. The new Prime Minister of the Aleman Republic, Adolf John," has recently become the focus of our attention. I found him to be an extreme populist. He was extremely dissatisfied with the punishment imposed on the Republic of Aleman by the Federation of Intelligent Life after the First Universal War. In his personal campaign rally before he came to power, he once publicly declared that he would take back all the galaxies lost by the Aleman Empire in the First Universe War. His National Ennahda Party has a paramilitary organization known as the "Einsatzgruppe". Recently, many financial groups from the United States of Beyot went to the Republic of Aleman to congratulate him on his election. If we think about the sudden increase in the size of the Temple fleet by the Teutonic pirates secretly supported by the Aleman Republic, we have to wonder which new Prime Minister Adolf ordered this. The Pirate Nebula was originally a trading place for the dark side of the powerful powers in the universe, and now the Kabasi Empire and the Fulo Federation are in fierce conflict. Could this be a signal that the Aleman Empire is going to stir up trouble? "
Han Li couldn't help but look at Lan Yiting a few more times. He didn't expect that Lan Yiting, who was usually not very showy, had such keen observation skills. His Dark Dragon Bureau wants to focus its work on the Muhua Galaxy of the Kabasi Empire, based on the possibility of a war between the Kabasi Empire and the Fuluo Federation, and seek benefits from it. However, he did not look at this problem from the perspective of all countries in the universe, but only limited it to the area around the Pirate Nebula.
"I need to keep in touch with Lan Yiting in the future." Han Li decided secretly.
"Director Lan, do you think the Aleman Republic will provoke a new cosmic war?" Lei Hengbang asked with expectation, his eyes shining.
"Captain, I think this possibility is relatively small for the time being. Prime Minister Adolf's position is not stable enough just after he came to power. The Aleman Republic is restricted by the "Donli Treaty" and the army only has 1 million warships, which is not enough to support their challenge. Start a cosmic war." Lan Yiting smiled and explained seriously, feeling a little contempt for Lei Hengbang in her heart.
Among the nine giants of the Yinglong Pirate Group, everyone knows that the Lei Hengbang family has always had the ambition to establish a new Panhua Empire, so they have always been looking forward to a new war breaking out in the universe so that the Yinglong Pirate Group can find opportunities. , occupy new star regions and build an empire. However, in the blueprint for future nation-building, the opinions of the nine giants are not unified. Many people do not agree with the establishment of a new imperial country, in which case they will lose the basis of common control rights.
Lei Hengbang was a little disappointed when he heard Lan Yiting's words. He thought about it in his head and said, "Let's do this! The latest situation in the Aleman Republic mentioned by Director Lan just now is something we have been neglecting. For our Panhua With the rise of the clan, in order to seize the fleeting opportunity in the future, our Yinglong pirate group must strengthen its armed forces. I propose that the size of the main ships of the Chi You fleet be increased to 25,000."
Zhang Lian was furious. Such a substantial increase in the size of the battleships would inevitably drain funds from his Universe Panhua Descendants Federation on a large scale. He retorted loudly: "Our Yinglong Pirate Group simply does not have the financial resources to support a large-scale expansion of the fleet! I oppose this proposal."
Lei Hengbang frowned, a look of anger rose on his face, and he tried hard to suppress the emotions that were about to explode: "How much do you think is appropriate?"
The other major giants saw the two directly confronting each other, and they were all waiting to see how things would go.
"According to Deputy Commander Qi's initial proposal, the number of capital ships will be increased to 20,000!" Zhang Liandao said.
"No." Lei Hengbang flatly refused.
The meeting reached a deadlock, and the room was eerily quiet. The heavy breathing of Lei Hengbang and Zhang Lian could be clearly heard, which showed that both of them were completely angry.
"Haha, we are all old friends for many years. We are all considering the overall interests of the Yinglong Pirates. Don't hurt the harmony." Lan Yiting, as a woman, is suitable for smoothing things over at this time.
"How about we increase the size of the battleships of Chi You's fleet to 23,000. Otherwise, we will be too far behind the battleships of the Teutonic Pirates, which will not be conducive to maintaining our status or responding to emergencies." Han Li proposed an idea. Intermediate solution.
"I agree." Lan Yiting voted faster this time.
"I agree too." Tian Heng, the transparent judicial director, finally had a chance to speak for the first time today.
Then everyone agreed.
Lei Hengbang also agreed to this compromise plan.
Zhang Lian was very reluctant in his heart. Even with the agreement of the other eight giants, he could no longer continue to resist. It was futile. He was fed up with this headquarters of the Yinglong pirate group.
The nine giants discussed some other matters, and the meeting ended. The meeting made a decision to try to provoke a war between the Kabasi Empire and the Fuluo Federation, and at the same time absorb more people to join the Yinglong Pirates or the Dark Dragon Society. Finally, it was unanimously agreed to increase the size of the main ships of the Chiyou fleet to 23,000.
As soon as the meeting ended, Zhang Lian got on his luxurious private spaceship and left the Yinglong Pirate Group, rushing back to his permanent residence, York, the most prosperous commercial planet in the Bute Empire.
"Director Zhang was just too impulsive and left in a hurry without saying goodbye to everyone." Han Li said to Lan Yiting, who was standing beside him and watched the joint spacecraft disappear into space.
Lan Yiting looked at the dark night sky and said quietly: "Director Zhang Lian is too depraved. The colorful world outside has confused his eyes."
One day later, Zhang Lian's T-shaped luxury private spaceship was sailing normally in the Luofeng galaxy in the easternmost part of the Kabasi Empire.
In the cabin, Zhang Lian was talking to his secretary using his personal optical computer. The holographic image showed that he was a young man in his 30s, dressed in a suit and elegant.
Zhang Lian ordered: "Tong Hao, tell Finance Director Lan Ping and ask her to transfer 40 billion of the 80 billion yuan raised by the Panhua Descendants Federation last month to the account of our United Front Bureau. From now on, every month 50% of the funds raised will be allocated to the United Front Bureau, and the rest will be handed over to the headquarters of the Yinglong Pirate Group."
"Bureau... Director, isn't this bad! It turns out that we allocate 20% to our United Front Bureau." Tong Hao was startled and quickly reminded Zhang Lian.
Zhang Lian waved his hand and stopped Tong Hao's next words: "Tong Hao, I am in charge of the United Front Bureau, are you questioning my decision!"
"No... I don't dare. I'll do it right away." Tong Hao hurriedly lowered his head and surrendered. But the moment he lowered his head, his face was full of mockery.
Zhang Lian had to bow his head at the headquarters of the Yinglong Pirates, but he was not prepared to obediently hand over the funds raised by the Universe Panhua Ethnic Federation to the headquarters. Each department managed by the nine giants of the Yinglong Pirate Group has its own small treasury. The funds in the small treasury are completely controlled by the giants of various ministries. Originally, he used his power to transfer 20% of the funds raised to the United Front Bureau's small treasury. Now he has further allocated 50% to the small treasury.
At this meeting, he realized the danger. Once the Yinglong Pirate Group participated in the competition between formal countries, it was likely to be wiped out. He has no interest in the resurgence of the Panhua ethnic group, and wants to use the Universal Panhua Ethnic Federation as a tool to make more money before the Yinglong Pirate Group is destroyed.
In the future, if the Yinglong Pirate Group is destroyed, he can take a large amount of money and live a happy life secretly in the United States of Beute, the most powerful country in the universe. Butte is a free and open country. As long as you have money, no one cares about your nationality.
"Haha. Very good! As long as you follow me well, Tong Hao, I will benefit from you in the future." Seeing that Tong Hao was obedient, Zhang Lian made a big cake for him.
Suddenly, Zhang Lian felt a dazzling white light coming from the port window of the spacecraft, and then the spacecraft issued a harsh alarm: "Danger! Danger! Danger! Ultra-high energy body is approaching." In the end, Zhang Lian was completely vaporized with a huge roar.
His T-shaped luxury private spacecraft turned into a fireball in space. At the last moment of his death, Zhang Lian seemed to see Han Hao mocking him in the holographic image.
At the same time, 100,000 kilometers away from the Zhang Lian spacecraft, in the command room of a standard X-class battleship of the Kabasi Empire, a colonel officer said to the communications officer in front of him: "Inform the fleet headquarters that this ship has been destroyed in accordance with the order. terrorist."
The news turned into quantum waves and was instantly transmitted to the Luofeng Galaxy Fleet Headquarters. After being confirmed, it quickly reached Xingchuantuo, the capital of the Kabasi Empire, in the form of quantum waves again. An old man took the news, nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself: "The first step has finally been taken."
