Two thousand brand-new armed warships are transporting "void" cargo, slowly crossing the safe boundary of the Nanxiang star cluster, moving at a so-called top speed of 0.15 times the speed of light, along a channel that is recognized as very dangerous, quietly but with much attention.
.
At this time, there are a large number of information flow radars scanning the armed merchant fleet repeatedly from far or near, and there are also countless pairs of eyes quietly watching the two thousand green light spots in the star map.
Behind this seemingly inconspicuous voyage, it symbolizes that the Nanxiang Star Cluster once again ushered in a secret confrontation between the two counts after many years of silence.
This may be the first time that Xingbo, a foreigner, shows off his horses and horses in an attempt to get rid of Nanxiangbo's oppression.
It's probably also the last time.
Many people feel extremely confused.
If Yuan Xingbo stays on Nanjiu C honestly, he will probably make no achievements during the hundred-year assessment period. After surviving this period, he will be a serious earl after all, and he can get dozens of food fiefs in the galaxy and become a new Anle.
One of the uncles.
The so-called Anlebo means that this kind of earl does not have any control over his own food town. The actual controller of the food town is an official appointed by the royal family, and he only needs to give Anlebo a certain percentage of tax commission on a regular basis.
There are not many such counts in the empire. Not every family has a talented and strategic leader. Instead of letting wasteful people ruin the family, it is better to trust them to officials who are like professional managers, and at least they can survive.
Food and clothing will be secure for all generations.
Although Anlebo's name is a bit embarrassing to be spoken out, his treatment is better than that of Viscount, and he enjoys a comfortable life that countless people can't envy.
But this Yuan Xingbo refused to accept his fate, and even without leaving any descendants, he personally led troops to do the logistics and commercial operations that such low-level people can do, and took the initiative to throw himself into danger, which is really confusing.
If Uncle Yuan Xing dies, then the position of earl he just obtained will be in vain, and his hard work will be in vain.
The funny thing is, he doesn't seem to have this self-awareness.
On the other side, Nanjiu Viscount Southgate and the spy chief at the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion were already happy.
When the Storm Pirate Group's spies just set off, they took advantage of their technological advantages to quietly approach the fleet within tens of billions of kilometers, and seized hold of it, gaining an absolute advantage in intelligence.
The three leaders of the pirate group even personally led an elite assault fleet group to set off brazenly from the base and attack directly.
No one knew that in the command ship of the armed commercial fleet, Ren Zhongzheng, Zheng Tian, Vincent Van Hoy and others were fully deducing the strength of the Storm Pirates, the performance of the warships, and the capabilities of individual soldiers, conducting counter-reactions.
Complex combat simulation.
The small reconnaissance ship from the Storm Pirates, which had obtained the information flow radar technology and primary camouflage stealth technology shared by Nanxiang Earl's Palace, was not able to remain invisible in the radar of the merchant fleet at all, but was like a light in the night sky.
Shining brightly like a beacon, every move is under control.
In terms of the information flow radar and the hidden performance of the ship, the technology was completely innovated in a very short period of time, and the armed fleet that used precious paint synthesized from the remains of the fourth-class mother queen's proliferator completely defeated the Storm Pirates.
"On the surface, we are in the open and the enemy is in the dark. But the actual situation is completely opposite. The Storm Pirates can only dispatch a thousand assault fleets known for their speed to pursue us, whether it is in terms of troop composition, weapons and equipment, or
It is at the level of information warfare, and we all have an absolute advantage. I have only one request, to wipe them all out, not to let anyone go, and not to let a trace of information leak. As for the legendary three sons of the storm, try to capture them alive. Liu An is not
Do you want to know what our combat power is? I asked him to understand a little bit, but he couldn’t quite understand it. He was just confused and asked him to take his time and guess."
At the pre-war discussion meeting, Ren Zhong said this in the headquarters.
Decades ago, he was indeed extremely wary of the pirate forces in the Broken Star Ring. In order to avoid the possible pirate coalition, he even chose to take a long way and move forward quietly.
However, after thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, today's armed fleet has undergone a five-year comprehensive upgrade, and its comprehensive war strength has more than doubled.
Moreover, Ren Zhong also used advance information collection and comprehensive layout to determine that this time he would only have to face a mere storm pirate group, rather than an overwhelming coalition force.
There's no reason why he can't get off to a good start.
…
Five and a half months later, the scattered armed commercial fleet is slowing down slightly, preparing to leave the bustling main channel along an arc and take a remote channel that is rarely visited.
According to the common sense of the commercial enterprises within the Nanxiang Star Cluster, although the fleets on the main channel are often intercepted and killed by space pirates, after all, the pirates have more targets to choose from, and it may not be their turn to be unlucky.
Furthermore, there will eventually be patrols by the security fleet under the Nanxiang Star Group's Military and Political Council on this main channel, which will act as a certain deterrent to space pirates' plunder, so even if they are attacked, they will rarely be completely wiped out.
There is always a chance for some people to survive.
The most powerful caravan main ship has a pretty good survival rate, and the middle and high-level caravans can always survive.
But by taking a remote waterway, the probability of a caravan encountering space pirates becomes lower, and the chance of arriving safely with all cargo ships increases.
But risks and rewards always coexist.
If there is a space pirate with a clear goal that has been staring at this fleet from the beginning, once it is attacked in a remote and inaccessible channel, it will often mean hopeless annihilation.
In the Nanxiang star cluster, many people were shocked when they discovered that the Source Star armed merchant fleet had chosen to change its course. Some people sighed with regret, some were dejected, some were secretly happy, and some even celebrated.
In short, the behavior of the fleet entering the remote channel was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. This new nobleman who had just become an earl had reached a dead end.
Since Yuan Xingbo's fate has been decided, the Nanjiu C clan, which was originally unloved by grandpa and grandma in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, suddenly became a favorite again.
Even many nobles, including Viscount Southgate of Nanjiu and people from the Earl's Mansion of Nanxiang, have successively extended olive branches to the Origin Star humans who can only stay in the ships orbiting Nanjiu C.
Trying to recruit.
The objective fact that the humans of the Origin Star are extremely resistant to becoming a "stallion" has become well-known. This time, many forces have changed their minds and no longer propose harsh conditions. Instead, they only propose reasonable employment with favorable treatment.
The calculations of these forces are ringing in the air.
Now that Ren Zhong is not dead, the people of Ren Zhong are owned by their owners and must be respected, so they are hired as normal.
But after a short wait, when Ren Zhongzhen is dead, they can make arrangements at will. It is absolutely impossible to return the person. Of course, it does not necessarily need to use force. If these Source Star humans really show enough outstanding abilities, they can
Just like normal recruitment and employment, put them in a high position and use benefits to keep them.
It is conceivable that when these Source Star humans from remote areas live in their own power for a period of time, they will naturally integrate into it, and they will always meet someone they like, and it is natural for them to get married and have children.
Before the death of Ren Zhong is confirmed, the humans of Source Star are the private property of the Count Ren Zhong. According to the laws of the empire, all parties cannot directly contact the recruitment targets by bypassing the management system established by Ren Zhong. They must contact the person who has been authorized by Ren Zhong. Communication with chief officer Ju Qingmeng.
Originally, many forces were worried that he would still be stubborn and forcefully reject everyone, but they never thought that he seemed to have no vigilance about his personal safety and only gave Ju Qingmeng full authority to do things for his own convenience.
Ju Qingmeng was much easier to deal with than Ren Zhong, and even quickly established a human resources and trade department. In just one week, he signed a large number of manpower dispatch trade export orders, providing services to as many as one million people who had just graduated from various academies within the fleet. New graduates, as well as a small number of technical teams who have completed their scientific research tasks and have no new jobs for the time being, have arranged their places.
The Earl's Palace of Source Star will receive 20% of the increased wealth of these migrant workers, which is regarded as "introduction fee" and "management fee". For example, after leaving the Source Star Fleet, a person enters the territory of a certain viscount to hold a certain position, and obtains His annual salary is one million contribution points a year, the work contract he signed is for a life span of ten years, and it will take another hundred years to complete the contract.
During this period, this person participated in local financial trade and made various investments to increase his wealth, eventually gaining a wealth of 5 billion contribution points. Then the Source Star Fleet will receive 20% of it, which is one billion contribution points.
In fact, this ratio was originally set at 10%, but it was jointly opposed by graduates and scientific researchers who were preparing to go out to work. On the one hand, they did not trust external financial institutions, and on the other hand, they felt that it was so low. The commission ratio is not conducive to the development of humanity on Source Star. After comprehensive discussions and public voting, the ratio was raised to 20%.
As for the packaged technical teams, although the number is small, these people will play a more important role than fresh graduates. As early as a few years ago, the Source Star Fleet had tried to rely on exporting high-end R&D capabilities to make up for the inability to The financial crisis caused by the development of the planet can also quickly increase the influence of the Source Star humans in the Nanxiang star cluster. This plan was well planned, but it was still blocked, and now it seems that the situation has suddenly opened up.
Because all the external forces that are swarming in and preparing to poach firmly believe that death is inevitable if the task is too hard.
Wen Yuanbo, the royal viscount who only knew a little about Ren Zhong's true strength and had acted with him in a play, thought to himself, how happy these people are in robbing people today, how much headaches they will have in the future.
If Ren Zhong really does what he promised, shows his sword in a battle, and establishes his position completely, those migrant workers who are regarded as cheap and hired by various forces will become the Source Star humans and invade the various forces in the Nanxiang Star Cluster. The wedge, using moist but firm power to slowly pry open the complete blockade of the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion.
In order to get Wen Yuanbo on board, Ren Zhong showed a little bit of the R&D strength of the Yuanxing Fleet when communicating with him. Wen Yuanbo was shocked on the spot, and he could even foresee that those who were packaged and hired would have a slightly different position within the fleet. It is embarrassing, and even some of the R&D teams and graduates who are neither good nor good will adapt to the work needs in a very short period of time after arriving at the employer's site, quickly complete the accumulation of knowledge, and then quickly rise to become the leaders of various forces in all walks of life. An indispensable subject leader in various industries.
Those poaching forces will be surprised and painful to find that they have found a treasure, but this "treasure" is a hot potato. Originally they just wanted some high-quality "stallions", but the promotion shown by these "stallions"
The ability of science is really addictive and difficult to give up.
They will feel distressed.
As long as Ren Zhong survives, the employees from the Source Star Fleet will always be the private property of the dignified Earl. Ren Zhong's title and power will become the guarantee for the safety and status of migrant workers, making it impossible for the employer to forcibly occupy the scientific researchers.
Own it for yourself.
Moreover, if the heavy-duty armed fleet can really annihilate the Storm Pirates without a trace, the military power and potential displayed will definitely make people particularly fearful.
The stronger the armed forces that Ren Zhong brings out, the higher the degree of deterrence to all parties will be, and the security and status guarantees that those who work outside the country will get will also increase.
But at the same time, every time these migrant workers are allowed to participate in more things, it will increase the power of the Source Star civilization on the side. Because the migrant workers sign time-limited contracts, sooner or later they will be recalled by the Source Star fleet, and by the way
Bring back all your knowledge, experience, connections and wealth.
Or, if these people can extend their contracts, stay with the employer for a long time and branch out, it can actually be regarded as the external expansion of the Source Star humanity, echoing the "bridgehead" built by those pioneers who first took refuge in the Nine Viscounts.
It's a pity to abandon it, but it's a fear to eat it. This is the dilemma that poaching forces are likely to face.
Ren Zhong used a small trick like throwing himself into death to give most of the forces in the entire Nanxiang star cluster a poisonous but irresistible bait.
Wen Yuanbo's views are basically consistent with Ren Zhong's overall planning.
In the online conference room of the Armed Commercial Transport Fleet, Ren Zhong analyzed the pros and cons in this way and issued the final mobilization.
"This battle is of great significance. It can only succeed, not fail. The enemy must be wiped out cleanly! Like every war in the past, I will still charge forward."
Wearing pure black, the fifth generation improved red front armor, Zhong Renzhong, stood in the cockpit of his own shuttle ship and said to the camera.
His pictures and sounds were completely synchronized before the 12000 people in the entire armed fleet.
Everyone knows that soon, the humans of the Source Star will show their swords, causing those with evil intentions in the Nanxiang Star Cluster to tremble with fear.
No one thought about a question. The humans of the Source Star were obviously just new arrivals. They had entered the Empire sequence for less than eight years and had not even completed the landing. Is it too early to start a war with others? Including Zheng Tian and Vincent Fan
Everyone, including Hoy, had only one idea: since Ren Zhong had made a decision, let's implement it.
So far, we have never missed a big task, so even though we have a short preparation time, we already have the power to win the battle.
If he thinks it works, it will work.
The atmosphere in the fleet suddenly became fanatical, but only Ren Zhong felt the pressure.
He is repeatedly checking and verifying the campaign plan submitted by the combat command.
From time to time, he closes his eyes and meditates. This is an attempt to mobilize his ability to predict the future.
Then he would suddenly open his eyes from time to time and make various fine-tunings in the battle plan.
Every fine-tuning he makes will be synchronized to the staff led by Vincent Van Hoy through the command center information system. A large group of people will use Sun Ai's computing power to simulate and verify it, and then the verification results will be quickly
Submit it to Zheng Tian, who will then integrate and summarize everyone's opinions and submit it to Ren Zhong.
Huge amounts of information are circulating repeatedly along such a loop, becoming more and more perfect and accurate. From time to time, one or two pieces of information are scattered out of the information loop, which is transformed into more detailed commands, such as additionally enhancing the capabilities of certain squads.
Firepower, changing the types of preloaded ammunition of some ships, adjusting the personnel configuration of some special attack teams, etc.
Three hours later, quietly, 800,000 eye ships equipped with stealth coatings and enhanced information flow scanning radars rushed out, passing the 5,000 shuttles led by Ren Zhong, Ma Xiaoling and Shi Lin.
The ships headed towards the vast starry sky and gradually dispersed.
Twelve days later, the 800,000 eye ships had completely expanded and turned into a huge pocket shape.
At this time, the front end of the bag is slowly closing.
A Storm Pirates fleet consisting of a thousand assault ships 20 kilometers long and shaped like medicine bottles is in the middle of this big pocket. The three Sons of the Storm are full of ambition.
In addition, a total of 500 shuttle ship teams were scattered outside the big pocket, using the cover of the cosmic background to quietly approach one after another scout ships sent by the Storm Pirates in advance at an extremely slow speed.
Most of the captains of the Source Star Armed Fleet were constantly looking at their watches.
Suddenly, the imperial time displayed on the watch reached a certain number that Ren Zhong had arranged in advance.
