He first wanted to thank the great Uncle Chi Feng for his generosity, but he also felt a trace of indescribable unwillingness and grief from Ren Zhong's seemingly arrogant and domineering attitude.
Although it was only the first time they met, and although he had almost died in the hands of the other party before, Kui Sheng suddenly felt that he seemed to understand this new earl a little bit.
However, looking at Ren Zhong with a calm expression, Kui Sheng felt that he might be overthinking things.
Under Ren Zhong's direct and oppressive gaze, Kui Sheng slowly gathered his courage and stood up, but his head was still lowered subconsciously.
He understood the principle, but his body was still a little disobedient.
"Commander Kui, do you know why I was the first to receive you?"
Looking at his appearance, Ren Zhong also knew that it was difficult for others to sit and talk to him with peace of mind like others, so he simply stood up, walked to Kui Sheng's side, and asked.
Kui Sheng still lowered his head, "I don't know, please make it clear, Lord Earl."
Ren Zhonghui turned around and said with a smile, "Because among all the Five Old Pirate Groups, the low-level pirates under your Kuixing Pirate Group have the best living environment. Your Kui Sheng's real surname is not Kui. Your Kuixing Pirate Group's
The management rules are different. They do not pay attention to bloodline, but only ability. Only those who inherit the leadership of the pirate group will change their surname to Kui. This is a true democratically elected system. You have done something that the empire cannot do. You even have targeted people.
The disaster relief plan for the gravitational disaster has been implemented for many years. These points make me appreciate you very much. When the two sides were still hostile, I could destroy your ships one by one with my own hands, or I could destroy them in one minute.
Killing millions of you, but that is only about stance, not hatred. Now that you have chosen to surrender to me, I will naturally not be stingy with my appreciation for you. So, you can hold your head up and don't have to kneel down like this."
After Ren Zhong said so much in one breath, Kui Sheng finally felt at ease.
He was sure that Uncle Chi Feng's surrender was not just talk, and the promise of the status of supernumerary subjects mentioned by Uncle Chi Feng was no lie.
Kui Sheng raised his head and said respectfully with a slightly excited tone: "On behalf of all the people of the Kuixing Pirate Group, I would like to thank you, Lord Count, for your kindness."
Next, Kui Sheng truthfully explained many things to Ren Zhong, including the distribution and development of the Wulao Pirate Group and some other relatively ancient large-scale pirate groups, as well as the distribution and development of resource planets and hidden bases.
The First Expeditionary Force's infiltration and investigation of non-ruled areas has never stopped in the past few decades. Vincent Van Hoy, who is responsible for commanding the First Expeditionary Force station, is very clear about the heavy ambitions, but the past decades have
The in-depth investigation was not as detailed as what Kui Sheng, an insider, said in two hours.
Ren Zhong was very satisfied with Kui Sheng's performance.
He looked at the time again.
Kui Sheng understood this and knew that Lord Earl had other arrangements, so he rushed to ask before the conversation ended: "Lord Earl, can we continue to the Broken Star Ring? This is far from the exit of the Star Cluster Jump Channel.
Always stay close, I'm afraid that Uncle Nanxiang will notice the fighting situation here and make another move."
Ren Zhong shook his head, "There's no need to leave in a hurry. Even if Uncle Nanxiang's spies saw us parked here arrogantly, he wouldn't dare to do anything. Liu An may seem overbearing, but he actually has some brains.
Seeing that I was alive and well, the first thing he wanted to do was to figure out why the war situation was completely different from the deduction results of his military combat system. Before he figured out what trump card I had and made complete preparations, he
He can't do anything. He can't afford another failure. For this operation alone, I will have a good talk with him at that time. As for setting off, I'm afraid we have to wait a few days for the gathering and placement of the surrendered troops.
The work is not done yet.”
Hearing this, Kui Sheng felt a little confused and subconsciously asked, "Hasn't everything been gathered up already?"
"Not really." Ren Zhong shook his head, "It's just that the people who are easier to gather have been settled, but there are still many people trapped in the damaged ship. There are even people wearing individual armors floating in space.
Here, all these people must be saved."
"Ah? They all need to be saved?" Kui Sheng's face was filled with astonishment.
This time, Ren Zhong was confused, "What do you mean? Don't want to save me?"
Kui Sheng's lips trembled, not knowing what to say.
According to the common sense he got from the empire, whether it was the surrender or the rescue operation, it should be over at this point.
Maybe as Ren Zhong said, there are still many people who have not been rescued, but so what?
Could a pirate's life be more valuable than a battleship's energy battery?
This is unscientific, unreasonable, and not in line with the principles of management cost control.
No matter whether it is the civilians in the Nanxiang Star Cluster or the pirate civilians themselves, they all agree on a common sense, that is, the lives of pirates are worthless, and even their time is not valuable.
Based on the consistent behavior of Uncle Nanxiang or other forces in the star cluster, there is no way that precious time and resources will be wasted here.
Ending it now and leaving immediately is the most cost-effective option.
You must know that because each prisoner of war is in a different situation, the difficulty and cost of resettling prisoners of war will inevitably continue to increase as the degree of completion increases.
To rescue prisoners of war who are trapped in sealed cabins or in space suits floating in the air, the human and material resources required are definitely several times greater than those of receiving people in batches, and the risks are also countless times greater.
But Chi Fengbo was obviously not joking, but serious. What he wanted was 100% completion.
With unspeakable doubts, Kui Sheng returned to the fortress where prisoners of war were concentrated.
Other pirates came up to him and asked him how he was doing.
Kui Sheng first stood in front of the visual window of the fortress and looked at the multi-functional rescue aircraft that were filing out like a swarm of locusts. He did not rush to answer everyone's questions, but recalled in his mind his last words before leaving Ren Zhong's office.
Hear that sentence.
"The reason why we must do our best to save everyone is because everyone's life is worthy of respect."
At that time, Chifeng Bo Renzhong said this in a calm tone.
But these words sounded like thunder in Kui Sheng's heart, blasting through his cognition.
To this day, Kui Sheng is still recalling this simple sentence over and over again in his mind, and trying to figure out whether it is true or false from Ren Zhong's micro-expression and the hidden details in his tone at that time.
He really wanted to know whether this was what Uncle Chi Feng said from the bottom of his heart, or whether it was just a political means to win people's hearts.
If it's the former, Kui Sheng will feel that his hundreds of years have been in vain.
If it was the latter, Kui Sheng would also feel that Chi Fengbo was unfathomable and extremely scary because he was really touched at that time.
After a long time, Kui Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head subconsciously.
He couldn't think of an answer.
Seeing Kui Sheng behaving like this, the other pirates were frightened and thought.
Someone couldn't hold it in anymore and stood directly next to Kui Sheng and pulled his shoulders over, "Commander Kui, please tell the truth. Is this surrender a scam at all? Is Uncle Chi Feng planning to gather us together?"
It's easier to get up and kill faster? When do you think he will take action? What will happen to our families in the base? Is there still a chance for negotiation? What can we do to convince him of our sincerity in surrendering?"
"Yes, Commander Kui, you need to say something."
"If you keep waiting like this, you really don't know what to do, so please give it a good time."
…
Everyone said a lot with one glance and one word, and each one was more excited than the other.
Kui Sheng looked around and saw everyone acting like this. He felt a little ridiculous and ridiculous for a moment, and felt wronged for Uncle Chi Feng.
After thinking about it, Kui Sheng simply pointed to the circular viewing window and said, "Have you seen those small aircraft outside?"
"I saw it, what's it for?"
"Is there anyone still resisting? Are these people going to clean up the battlefield?"
Kui Sheng shook his head, "In the past two days, Chi Fengbo spent an hour designing a brand new multi-functional aircraft. This aircraft is based on their high-performance single-man fighters.
"
"Multi-functional? More weapons installed? That's not necessary!"
"Yes, that kind of fighter is very terrifying. All aspects of the design have reached the pinnacle of Nanxiang Star Cluster's material science. There is no room for improvement, right?"
Kui Sheng: "No. These aircraft have had their weapon systems removed and then installed with devices such as rapid cutting, sealing gel spray, integrated first aid kits, high-precision short-range life detectors, etc. Now they are no longer designed to kill people.
Instead of fighter planes, they are multi-functional rescue aircraft that can save people. Those elite fighter pilots who previously left us helpless on the battlefield have now become rescuers. The reason why Uncle Chi Feng has not had time to see me in the past two days is because
Because he is personally responsible for the modification work of these emergency aircraft. He single-handedly handles all work stages from design to production management to product acceptance."
"this……"
"Why! What is he trying to do? Is he planning to..."
Kui Sheng: "Yes, he just plans to rescue everyone who can be rescued. Even if it seems to be a loss and no cost-effectiveness, even if we fought him to the death two days ago, even if there are actually many Chifeng people
The soldier died in our hands. But that's what he did. Before I came back, he said something to me."
"What words?"
"Commander Kui, you should hurry up and say it, don't show off!"
Kui Sheng took a deep breath and said, "He said that everyone's life is worthy of respect."
"ah?"
"this……"
The hall where the high-ranking prisoners of war gathered was suddenly silent and silent.
Everyone even forgot to ask how they would be punished.
It's not necessary.
These words of Uncle Chi Feng are the most solid attitude.
But some people were still deeply confused and couldn't help but say: "But we did destroy some Chifeng Army warships and killed many of them."
Kui Sheng nodded, "That's right. I didn't discuss this topic with Chi Feng Bo in detail. But from his attitude and some words, I roughly confirmed his thoughts. That is, he understood our previous relationship.
It has to be a last resort. After all, pirates like us seem to be prosperous in the Broken Star Ring, but when facing the oppression of Uncle Nanxiang, we really have no choice. He knows that Uncle Nanxiang is the real enemy, and we are just tools. The tools themselves
There is no sin. So he has forgiven us a long time ago."
"Before meeting Uncle Chi Feng, I actually had a brief exchange with Marshal Ying Zhenshan and Deputy Marshal Yuan Qinhu. Instead of humiliating me, they even comforted me and told me not to feel any psychological pressure. Uncle Chi Feng
The army is different from the army of any force we know, and it is also completely different from us."
Having said everything to this extent, if anyone still thinks that Uncle Chi Feng's surrender is not sincere, then they are simply stupid.
Everyone knows the truth, but this reality is so dreamy that it is hard to believe.
But they soon came to believe it even if they didn’t believe it.
After a short debugging, the rescue aircraft has started live broadcast of disaster relief.
In the hall where the prisoners of war are located, there is a multifunctional stereoscopic projection. The prisoners of war can use this projection to watch at will, and even switch to different video source channels at will to see the rescue and disaster relief situations in different areas.
Seeing is believing, hearing is believing.
Watching these multi-functional aircraft carefully cut away the damaged parts of the battleship, trying to enter every corner where there might be survivors, and then trap those in sealed cabins, or wearing space suits but being clamped by deformed metal
The pirates who could not escape were carefully rescued. Kui Sheng and others standing in the hall were so nervous that they subconsciously held their breath.
They don't know these low-level pirates, but that doesn't stop them from worrying about the fate of these strangers at this moment.
They also saw the rescued crying and hugging the rescuers and kowtowing frantically to express their gratitude after they were finally safe.
Of course, some people still wonder in their hearts whether this is a special effect simulated by the brain.
With the Empire's technological level, it is certainly possible to make the special effects look as if they were real.
Until someone in the hall finally screamed with excitement.
"That's my wife! Oh my God!"
Others turned to look at the lucky pirate leader with indescribable envy in their eyes.
Everyone present had their relatives and friends killed or injured, and many people even died until they were left alone.
Not only did this guy survive, but his wife is also alive. He must have been the Chosen One in his previous life and saved the empire to have such a blessing.
"Oh! This is the leader of the Xisen Pirates, my good brother! Hahaha, this guy is still so timid, he actually kowtows and begs the rescuers not to kill him."
"Yeah, he doesn't even think about it. If someone really wants to kill him, why go to all the trouble to rescue him first."
"We'll have to laugh at him later."
"hey-hey."
As the number of rescued pirates continues to increase, familiar faces begin to appear one after another.
Slowly, no one doubted the authenticity of these scenes.
Today is Mother's Day. I took my wife and children out for a dinner party, so I was forced to fill in the word count again, which caused trouble to everyone. I'm sorry. Today there are only 4,000 words, and there will be no second update. Tomorrow there will be 6,000 words.
, and there will be no word count padding! I said so!
