- Jiang Ping looked at the outline map of the star field in front of him, and from time to time whispered to Na Patrick, who was standing on the side, to have a few words.

Patrick stood there, answering the other party's questions and not hiding much.

"Captain, according to our observations, that Helms led his fleet, and has remained in the airspace around here, and has not left, do you guess what he is trying to do?"

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Ping called up the detailed star map of the surrounding star fields, and while looking at it carefully, he asked Patrick next to him seemingly casually.

Patrick didn't think much about it, and replied: "Commander Jiang, that Helms dog mongrel is still here, and in my opinion, there are still illusions that he wants to retake this place, because he is the supreme commander here, and if he loses this place, he will bear military responsibility." ”

Jiang Ping heard this and sneered: "Want to take back here? Do you think he has a glimmer of hope? ”

Patrick said: "Of course not, but this Helms is a nasty and stubborn thing, as long as there is a slight opportunity, he will not let go, he will not give up until the Yellow River." ”

"In addition, he is still here, presumably to continue to scout your Galactic Empire's fleet and spy on your intelligence."

Jiang Ping snorted, but frowned in his heart, this Helms is indeed a difficult guy.

Patrick glanced at him and asked, "Commander Jiang, why don't you send warships to encircle and suppress this damn dog mongrel?" You don't need to be polite to this dog mongrel, and it's best to let him go to the ground. ”

Jiang Ping listened. I secretly said in my heart, do you think I don't want to destroy this dog thing? But this man was so cunning that he only moved far around the perimeter and refused to come closer, and when our ships caught up with them, they fled, and our ships were not as fast as theirs, and could not catch up with them. And when our warships withdrew, they followed suit, like kraft candy.

So it seems. This Helms has also won the essence of guerrilla warfare in which the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy retreats and we advance.

Of course, he wouldn't say anything to the other party in this case, and immediately said lightly: "It's just a clown, my Galactic Empire fleet doesn't disdain to be like him, and besides, my Galactic Empire intends to coexist peacefully with the Grimm Empire, and I don't want to provoke any more disputes and further expand the situation." ”

Patrick said disapprerovingly: "Commander Jiang, you are really too merciful, for this kind of dog mongrel. You don't have to be so merciful! ”

Jiang Ping said in his heart, you think I don't want to, but now, he really can't find a way to deal with this Helms. Let Helms and the others roam the airspace nearby. It is also very detrimental to the next migration and development actions of the Great Migration Force here, and it is good to find a way to solve it.

He was thinking about it when he saw a communications soldier hurrying forward. "Commander, Commissioner Joseph and their troops were attacked in a settlement. One of our armed flying saucers was destroyed, and five soldiers on board the flying saucer were killed. ”

Hear this. Jiang Ping was taken aback, the news that came back earlier, Joseph's takeover force operation was going well, and they had successfully taken over several Grimm settlements, he thought that this takeover operation would end smoothly, but he didn't expect such a big basket to come out at the end.

"This damn Joseph can't even do this thing!"

Jiang Ping cursed indignantly a few times, his eyes swept over Patrick on the side, and saw that the other party's expression was a little strange, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, this time it was a fool's errand, cleaning up a few civilian settlements, there were also casualties, and an armed flying saucer was shot down, doesn't this seem that his side is too incompetent, I am afraid that the image of the "Galactic Empire" and "wise and powerful" will plummet in the eyes of the other party, which is not conducive to controlling the other party.

But at this point, he couldn't cover it up even if he wanted to, so he immediately called up the map of the planet, confirmed the location of the accident to the communications soldier, pointed to this place, and asked Patrick, "Captain, what is this place, what kind of factories are there?" ”

Napatrick glanced at the place on the map and replied, "This is our fifth settlement, and in addition to several metal smelting and machine-building factories, there is also a small military factory. ”

"Arsenal?"

Jiang Ping felt a little surprised, he didn't expect that there would be a military factory here, and then he secretly rejoiced in his heart, the military factory, this is a fragrant bait, generally speaking, military science and technology are representatives of the top first-class scientific and technological level of civilization, and the use of high technology is high-tech, I don't know what the technical level of this small military factory in front of me is.

"Let's go, let's see!"

He immediately strode out of the command building, to rush to the place where the accident occurred, Mereve followed closely with a team of soldiers, and the Patrick also followed, Jiang Ping did not speak, and no one stopped him from following.

The small warship that the group came up with was the small warship that Jiang Ping brought from the Nebula, and this small warship was specially equipped with a new type of energy shield, so the safety was naturally enough to ensure it.

In a short time, small warships flew over the settlement where the accident had occurred, and joined up with the small group of takeover forces that were still stranded nearby.

With the exception of the fifth settlement, the other four settlements have been successfully taken over by human forces.

The leader of the takeover unit, a lieutenant company commander, got on the spaceship, met with Jiang Ping, and reported in detail what had happened.

Previously, they had taken over several settlements without any conflict, and after seeing the flying saucer of the takeover of the troops coming, the Grimm people in the settlement obediently surrendered.

Previously, when I learned of the "alien" invasion, many people here had already run away, and the rest were abandoned people who didn't have time to get on the spaceship, and they didn't have any heart to resist.

However, when they arrived at the settlement, the receiver was suddenly attacked, and a rocket fired from the settlement hit one of the receiver's armed flying saucers, destroying them on the spot and killing the soldiers on the flying saucer.

After this sudden attack, the taking over troops did not dare to advance further, and immediately retreated far to the periphery, and reported the news to Jiang Ping.

After learning about what happened, Jiang Ping did not shout and accuse, but comforted and praised a few words, and said to the lieutenant company commander: "This time we are not prepared enough to understand the situation, which led to such an unfortunate incident, I am careless, your actions are still doing a good job on the whole, and I want to take credit for you." ”

The lieutenant company commander was already ready to accept the other party's scolding, but he didn't expect that the scolding didn't come, but instead he got a compliment and reward, and he was confused for a while.

Jiang Ping asked: "Do I want to take credit for you?" ”

The lieutenant company commander shook his head blankly, he really didn't know what to do.

It is said that this takeover operation, although everything went smoothly in the front, but in the end, something went wrong, and an armed flying saucer was destroyed, this is a new type of armed flying saucer, and now they are not able to produce energy chips on their own, such a new type of armed flying saucer can be said to destroy one less one.

So this time their operation, no matter how you say it, is a failure, even if there is some credit, it is too much merit, so when Jiang Ping praised them for doing a good job, and had to take credit for them, this lieutenant company commander was very surprised, and he didn't understand it.

Jiang Ping said: "I want to take credit for you, because after you suffered a surprise attack, you did not recklessly continue to move forward and launch retaliatory actions, but retreated wisely and decisively, maintaining a restrained attitude, which is a very correct disposition." ”

"If you retaliate at that time, I am afraid that this settlement will be destroyed, and the factories inside will not be saved, and these factories will have a great effect on our future, do you understand?"

The lieutenant company commander finally understood a little and nodded again and again.

"By the way, where is Minister Joseph, why didn't he come?" At this time, Jiang Ping saw that Joseph was not there, and immediately asked.

The lieutenant company commander said: "Commander Huijiang, Minister Joseph stayed there after we captured the first settlement, and did not come with us. ”

"Stayed? What did he stay there for? Jiang Ping couldn't help but ask again.

The lieutenant company commander said, "According to Minister Joseph, he is going to negotiate with the Greens there and calm their panic. ”

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Ping couldn't help but scold, that settlement had already surrendered and was occupied and taken over by the takeover troops, and he Joseph still had to negotiate with some Greens, which was obviously an excuse that he didn't want to take risks with the takeover troops.

But at this time, he didn't care about settling accounts with the other party, so he still solved the matter in front of him first.

The spaceship flew over the settlement, almost close to the ground at an ultra-low altitude, and the huge hull and the swarthy launch ports everywhere seemed to be a monster that wanted to choose people to devour, bringing people powerful coercion and panic.

On the ground, there were panicked Grimm people running and fleeing in all directions.

"Whoosh-"

At this moment, somewhere in front of him, a flash of fire flashed and a rocket flew in, accurately hitting the spacecraft that was flying at an ultra-low altitude.

Of course, such an attack was like scratching an itch in a boot for Jiang Ping's spaceship, and it couldn't cause the slightest damage.

After the firelight, the ship flew forward unharmed, as if the attack was just a mosquito bite from a giant beast.

"Whoosh-"

In the darkness ahead, several more flames flared up, and the Grimm, unwilling to fail, fired multiple rockets again.

However, their attack was in vain, and the rockets hit Jiang Ping's spaceship like small waves on a rock, and did not cause the slightest damage. (To be continued......)
