Chapter 142: Intrigues
After the Freedom Fleet left, Bright finally came out of the delusion of defeating Rackard 61 Hansen. In this battle, he not only did not bargain for the Razak fleet, but in the ensuing chaos, it was because of his greed and recklessness, so that both sides could not hold out the energy shield, and were completely exposed to the fire of the Freedom Fleet, and suffered immeasurable losses.
If Santiago's financial resources alone were compared with the Razak fleet, they did have an advantage. But this is also the big guy in San Diego wrestling with Hansen, not Bright, the captain of the fleet.
After the center of the battlefield gradually moved from the vicinity of the Randy Space Station to Andrea's Air Harbor, it shouldn't have been so intense, but it inexplicably became such a situation, and some of the next mess they suffered.
But luckily, they saved McHarbie and Benjamin, and even if the rest of San Diego was kind of bad at them, there was still some room for survival.
The chaotic battlefield, after Renault and the others fled, fell silent in an instant, and the fleets of both sides rationally left the battlefield and slowly retreated, while hurriedly repairing the damaged starships.
The biggest difference between space warfare and ground warfare is that the starship will not easily crash and explode if it is damaged, as long as they are given enough time to repair some serious parts, they can still continue to sail. That's why Renault was able to get the broken Abrody back.
The Hearts of Liberty's offensive seemed ferocious, but it did not inflict many casualties on the Razak fleet, mainly destroying their armed forces. As a result, their combat power has shrunk significantly, and they will not be able to exert their full combat power in the next pursuit battle. Fundamentally, the heart of freedom still respects the soldiers of Lazak's fleet.
Santiago's fleet wasn't so lucky, and both Clockwork's wounds and Antonia's dead lurkers gave them enough resentment to retaliate ferociously against them.
As soon as the Liberty Heart fleet left, the fleet led by Louis sailed quickly towards the Randy space station, although they were a little traumatized, but they looked much better than Hansen and them, at least they didn't have to be dragged forward like the Radiant.
The Magellan Expedition had already been smashed by them and loaded into the fleet's hold in batches, so that it could fight the enemy with all its might, without having to worry about the oil bottle that was in the way.
"We're really not a smuggling ship, just a geological exploration ship, you can search our expedition, there are no prohibited smuggling items." A somewhat balding yellow man said as he lay on the deck.
This poor guy is the captain of the Magellan Expedition, but he is doomed to have nowhere to complain when he is crushed by the two government-backed forces of Santiago and Razak.
"Well, they'll find out, and they'll convict or clear your name, and if you keep barking like a duck here, I don't mind handing you over to Santiago." Louis glared at him fiercely, picked up the communicator and shouted, "General, are you okay?" You're embarrassed to see you......"
"Damn, Luis, what the hell are you doing? Dealing with a bunch of idiots has been delayed for so long, Renault and they have already run away. Hansen seemed to take out the anger that Bob had provoked on Louis.
The middle-aged warrior didn't refute, but asked directly: "So general, what do you need me to do?" Teach San Diego some lessons? ”
"No, let's go after Jonny 61 Renault, ignore these idiots." Hansen shouted.
"General, if you don't figure this out before leaving, they are likely to falsify the matter to the point that we are taking the initiative to attack Condon, and I suggest that you give up the pursuit of Jonny 61 Renault first. Otherwise, you risk ruining the future for all of us. The outspoken Bob spoke up against Hansen again.
Rackd 61 Hansen was indeed a tough general, and it was because of his bravery in the battle against the Ark Zerg that he brought the entire fleet back alive again and again. However, his character is not suitable for human power struggles, so the entire fleet unanimously approved Bob as his lieutenant to prevent him from making trouble at a critical time, although Hansen scolded badly, but he still adopted Bob's words, he just wanted to vent his grievances, not that he was really "stupid".
And an old general who can defeat the Ark Zerg and the Divine Clan, but can't defeat the intrigue of the human race, this is really a huge mockery.
Before Luis and Hansen's fleet could be in the same place, reinforcements from Santiago had arrived. Although Humphrey 61 Vargo already knew what was happening, he still frowned for no reason when he looked at the wreckage and broken fleet in the sky.
This battle caused Santiago to lose half of the planet's resources in vain, and he didn't get any benefits at all, not only did he not get the Wise Servant, but even Renault and the others all fled......
For Humphrey, this was obviously a huge loss, and he would rather these idiots die more than his starships and spaceplanes destroyed so much.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Humphrey said with a dark face.
"Commander McHarbie ordered us to destroy the Randy space station and make sure to leave Reynolds behind, but the fire hit the Razak fleet, and it is what it is now." Bright said truthfully.
Humphrey frowned and said, "Okay, I see! Don't go out and talk nonsense, remember that you are here to participate in the protection work, and the fight with them is also self-defense and counterattack, no matter who asks! Please give me a call to Rackard 61 Hansen ......"
While the fleet was running slowly, the leaders of the two fleets finally connected. Hansen's face was still angry, Humphrey also had a black face, such an ending, the two of them could not be happy, the profiteer fled, and the damaged had to sit together and talk about the end.
"Alright Hansen, I don't have to hold you accountable for attacking Condon, but we have to talk about compensation!" Humphrey said straight to the point.
Hansen looked at each other in surprise and scolded, "What the hell are you talking about? Your fleet will attack us first, and then we will start to fight back! Hear clearly, we are fighting back in self-defense, and it is the soft eggs under your hands who fire first. ”
"Oh, is that so? But the answer they told me was that you attacked us first. I'm not too interested in the topic of who will attack first, I'm just curious why the Razak fleet ran to Condon to wait for Condon's local garrison to attack you? Humphrey replied.
"I told you we were chasing the federal fugitive Jonny 61 Renault." Hansen replied.
In this case, the people of San Diego are clearly prepared to die and refuse to admit it, and the more Hansen talks to him, the more wrong he becomes. If the matter were to be court-martialed, it would be another protracted lawsuit, and Humphrey would have plenty of opportunities to co-opt and then politically defeat the recalcitrant general.
As long as there are laws and rules, someone is destined to become a darling under the protection of the law.
Seeing this scene, Bob suddenly took a step forward, stood in front of Hansen and said, "General, your salad is ready, and your favorite barbecue, just leave it to me here, and your adjutant can communicate better with them." ”
Hansen was stunned when he heard this, stretched out his big hand like a dustpan, patted Bob's shoulder vigorously and said: "Bob, I found you so cute for the first time, talk to them well, if they can't give enough compensation, resolutely don't back down." ”
After dropping these words, Hansen left with a big grin and went to look for his barbecue.
Humphrey frowned unconsciously when he saw that the negotiator had become a Sven man with gold-rimmed glasses, as if things were trickier than he thought.
"Who are you? What rank, I'm negotiating with Lieutenant General Hansen, and you're not qualified to talk to me. Humphrey said dissatisfied.
Bob smiled and said disapprehantly: "My name is Bob, Bob 61 Fisher, I am the adjutant of Lieutenant General Hansen, you also saw it just now, and he has full authority to hand over this matter to me." As for my rank, as long as your eyes are not too bad, you can see it a long time ago. Finally, as to whether I am qualified to speak to you, if I am not mistaken, your name is Humphrey 61 Bargo, and you have no political status, no military service, and are just a businessman. I wondered, why was I, a high-ranking military officer on active duty in the Federation, not qualified to talk to a copper-smelling businessman? ”
After listening to Bob's words, Humphrey's face became more and more ugly.
"As for what you said earlier, I will not refute it, the Razak fleet pursued Jonny 61 Renault and his party to Condent, and the voyage recorder was turned on, and everything that happened was recorded. Including Renault and the San Diego family's main McHarbie entering the Randy space station, and every attack you launch at us. If you still want to deny Renault's existence, I can show you the battle footage of the Silverwing. ”
"Of course, you can also choose to go through the legal process, and I believe that with so much sufficient evidence, the federal government and the judge will definitely give a fair verdict."
"And what about the Servant?" Humphrey shouted angrily, "Don't tell me these useless things. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about?" Bob replied.
Humphrey reminded with some irritation: "Magellan Expedition, hand over the Magellan Expedition, and I will not be responsible for your mistakes." ”
"I'm afraid there is no way to hand this over to you, because it is a spaceship suspected of smuggling, and it has been taken into our custody, if you want to bring the Magellan Expedition forward, you can submit an application to the Federal Fleet, and I am sure they will give you an answer within half a year." By the way, I just received news that the Magellan Expedition is no longer suspected of smuggling, because our soldiers have found two illegal military land assault mechs in his cabin. Bob smiled at the communication light curtain.
"What the hell do you mean?"
"Just tell you what you want to know."
On the other hand, Mirren 61 Santiago was connected to Bright's communication.
"Is McHarbie better?" Mirren asked.
"He's not in danger of his life, but he hasn't woken up yet."
"Find a way to wake him up, I have something to ask him." Mirren said again.
Not long after, McHarbi and Mirren in the medical module were connected to the communicator.
"Hey, is Mehar better than you? At such an age, you don't have to play with your life so much. Mirren was reluctant to criticize McHarbie when he saw his injury.
"It's an honor for me to be able to dedicate myself to my family." McHarbi said excitedly.
"So, I'll ask you a question now, are you sure the servant is on the Magellan?" Mirren asked again.
"I'm pretty sure that the lie detector can't go wrong, and Renault wasn't lying." McHarbie affirmed: "As long as we take Hansen, the Servant of Wisdom will be ours, and then we will have countless holy relics and countless capable people forever, as long as we are given enough time, we will be the federal government." ”
"I'm afraid it's too late, you should ask Antonia where the servant is, Renaud really didn't lie, because the answer he knew was itself fake." Mirren sighed.
The next moment Mirren cut off communication with McHarbie and inserted himself into Humphrey's conversation with Bob: "Let them go, the thing is not in their place." ”
"What?" Humphrey was surprised.
"Since there's nothing to do, goodbye. By the way, all the communications just now are backed up, in case one day we will meet at a court-martial. Bob smiled at them and turned off the com.
