Chapter 237: Transaction
When Harrison turned on the communicator, he saw a big bald head in front of him, not Renault, and his face showed some displeasure, and he snorted: "What about Renault?" Why haven't you seen me for so long, and sent a little brother to see me? ”
"Huh! I think I'll just see you, Renault has some other important things to do. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a friend of Jonny Renault, Paron Sfield, the leader of the Tyrannosaurus Pirates, do you think this identity is enough? Sfield sneered.
Harrison was stunned when he heard this, and did not continue the discussion on the topic of identity, and asked, "What about the gift for me?" ”
"You drive the starship over, I'll give it to you!" Sfield Road.
Harrison warned, "What the hell?" ”
"Why, General Harrison is on your turf, and you're still afraid of me, a little pirate. It's just some captives of the Federation fleet, Renault said, hand him over to you, you know what to do. ”
"Oh, got it." Harrison was stunned for a moment, then understood what was going on.
However, when they actually started the handover, Harrison realized how outrageously wrong his guess was.
The prisoners possessed by the other side almost filled his starship, so that it could not fit in the string cabin at the back, so that the energy shield could only be stretched out and let them stand on the deck.
Such a large number of prisoners is more than the establishment of a regular fleet, what did Renault do during this time? Where did the regiment destroy the Federation fleet with more than one regular fleet formation, why didn't you hear any news yourself.
Moreover, he is also mixed with this Tyrannosaurus pirate group that has been in the limelight recently, and there are wandering mercenaries from Constantine, but I am afraid that in the future, this Rama Nebula Belt will not be up to them as the garrison fleet.
In fact, in this battle, Renault captured a lot of crew members of the Federation fleet, but the two sides had different philosophies, so they had no way to fight together, and they couldn't kill them, so they could only sell a favor to Harrison.
And these prisoners were the captives of nearly thirty starships from the Chlettenn Starhardt, and the captives of fifteen starships that subsequently fought with Matthew. In total, it was all captured by more than forty starships. In fact, although the Star Wars are very tragic, most of the damage is mecha and starships, except for some unlucky people, the death rate of the crew in the starship is still very low.
After Harrison took all the captives, he left silently.
Sfield didn't say much, disposing of these unusable captives was a hot potato for them, and they could be freed up for other things.
And when Harrison returned to the Rama theater headquarters with these tens of thousands of prisoners, everyone was shocked.
However, when they were about to report the matter, they were interrupted by one person, and then they received an order from the Supreme Commander of the Fourth Fleet, Aemond, to secretly send the captives to the Fourth Fleet.
Although the generals in the Rama theater of operations have certain objections to this order, as a senior officer on active duty, the first rule is to obey the order, and only to carry out this order. And everyone kept silent and said no more about it, for it would be obviously in Aemond's interests to make a big deal about it, and it would be unwise for their future.
In this way, something that should have caused a big wave of exaggeration through Harrison and others disappeared invisibly. Renault's idle move did not have much impact on the Matthew sons.
After the Freedom Fleet returned to the Rama Nebula Belt, after a short rest of three days, it entered a frenzied busyness, and the damaged fleet had to break through a large number of manpower to repair it quickly, and the warriors of the Free Heart all went to act as maintenance personnel.
On the seventh day, the Qatar Voyage Company came to Rafadiman again, and this time they not only brought the materials needed by Renault and the others, but also some regular starships.
When it was time for the two sides to deliver the goods, Thomas made a strange request.
"Can I trade these regular starships of mine for those regular starships of the Federation fleet with you?"
Hearing this, Carmela suddenly narrowed her eyes and laughed slyly: "What? Is your Qatar Voyage Company's business already in the fleet of the Federation? Actually, we've just adapted to these Federation fleets, and now that we're handing them over to you, we're going to have to get used to these new fleets again, and you know it's going to be a very time-consuming thing for us. And what we lack most now is time. ”
Hearing this, Thomas also understood what Carmela meant, none of these high-level people of Freedom Heart are easy to deal with, and Carmela is obviously the most difficult one of them.
Negotiating with her, the sophisticated Thomas has never taken advantage of it, although these people can get him a lot of things that others can't get, but the profit is not as big as Thomas thinks.
"Miss Carmela, don't forget, I'm trading my full starship for some broken ones with you, and you've taken advantage of this deal." Thomas said hurriedly.
"No, no, no, you don't know us! We are robbers, and if we can go out and loot others in the starships of the Federation fleet, it will be a supreme honor for us, glory you know? It is a belief that cannot be measured in terms of money. Carmela said reverently.
As Carmela spoke, the seductive power naturally radiated, and Thomas was unaware of the impact.
Hearing this, Thomas's brows furrowed unconsciously, his face became a little ugly, and he whispered: "Ms. Carmela, I have to remind you that we are now in a long-term cooperative trade relationship, and it is time to give some benefits to your trading partners, and it is also a necessary thing to promote the good development of both sides." ”
"You tell me to promote good development on both sides?" Carmela was amazed: "It's amazing that you told me these things, if I'm not mistaken, you just sold our strategic information to Santiago, and that incident caused us a major crisis. You know Thomas, I'd be happy to give you a profit on other trades, but when it comes to the rivals, there's no chance of a profit at all, and you have no idea how much of a hatred we have with your boss behind the scenes. So don't even think about it, it's impossible. ”
Having said this, Thomas also knew that it didn't make much sense to continue talking, so he asked directly: "What the hell are you willing to let go?" ”
"One-to-one-five, one Federation starship for one and a half other conventional starships, so it's okay." Carmela said quickly, completely forgetting that she was still saying that it was impossible.
"No, this price is too high, if we make such a transaction, we Qatar Voyage Company will need to lose money." Thomas shook his head hurriedly, apparently a condition he couldn't accept.
"Then you can talk to the boss behind you, and tell them that our tens of thousands of captives didn't care about him asking for a penny, and that the money was added to these captives, and if he wasn't willing to trade, he would break up." Carmella said again.
Snyder on the side watched this scene dumbfounded, daring to love that the benefits obtained by everyone's desperate efforts this time are not as much as Camela's mouth, this woman is too terrifying.
"Okay, wait a minute." Thomas said.
Obviously, this matter was beyond the limits of his authority.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Carmela snorted and said to Snyder, "What do you drink?" I'm going to make you some coffee? ”
Snyder was stunned when he heard this, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
In fact, there are robots on standby right next to their conference hall that can help them make coffee at any time, and Carmela is clearly just looking for an excuse to leave.
After Carmela left, he ordered a girl to make coffee, and then he came to a completely shielded room and communicated to Renault: "Boss, your old rival wants to buy back the Federation's starships from us, and I will offer them a price of one to one, one to five, do you think it's okay?" If it doesn't work, I'll just decline the deal. ”
"Oh? And such a good thing? You look at the processing, you can earn a little is a little, anyway, any kind of starship is the same in our hands. Renault replied.
"Got it, boss."
Later, Carmela used the communicator to tell the Tycos in the maintenance shop some precautions, then tidied up her clothes and went out with two cups of coffee to the conference room.
"Snyder, your coffee, taste it."
"Thank you."
At this time, Thomas's side obviously had not finalized the final conditions.
Carmela took a sip of her coffee and looked at each other.
After waiting for five minutes, Thomas said in a sweat: "We raised the price with them a little more, but if it is a little and a half times, there is still no way to accept it, in this case, they will choose to get these starships through other channels." ”
"What are you kidding? Do you think I'm an idiot? Don't forget that I'm also from the Federation fleet. Each Federation starship has its own special identification code, which does not mean that if you replace him, you can impersonate it, otherwise they would not have offered such a large price to exchange for these starships. Carmella pouted and sneered.
"If you lower the price a little, if we don't make a profit, we won't do this, how do you think this is a little double?" Thomas frowned, and cursed in his heart: This difficult woman.
"One point three times, the achievement of the transaction, not the achievement of the collapse. The matter of a few starships, just drive the fleet out and plunder it, don't forget that we are pirates, and the least bad thing is the starship. Carmella added.
"Okay, one three is one three." Thomas said helplessly.
In this way, when the two of them went to exchange starships, ten broken starships were exchanged for twelve full regular starships, for which Thomas also made an IOU for a regular starship.
Of course, these starships that Thomas obtained, they were all scrap metal, as he said, to exchange a complete starship for a broken one. Moreover, these broken starships were quickly dismantled from their batteries, engines, and defenses just in that time. In the face of this kind of goose plucking, Thomas was also quite helpless, but fortunately, he had completed his task and dragged the ten scrap iron slowly away.
After Thomas left, Carmela found that among the twelve starships, there were actually four starships of the Starlight Pirate Regiment, and most of the rest were also starships of other pirate groups.
It's good enough that these bastards traded captured pirate ships for Federation ships.
