Him and their stars

Chapter 724 The Messy Gate of Glory
Mr. Duba went to see those "goods" with great anticipation. Judging by the look of great interest, he clearly came to see the livestock.

However, to be honest, when those looters were used as "currency" to exchange for the items Yu Lian needed, they were no different from "animals".

"At least you gave them a way out." Feifei comforted Yu Lian and said, "If they were captured by the empire in the Modan galaxy, none of them would survive for three years. But if they were sold by the Tuos business group to the galaxy on the side of the alliance If you say no, you can live up to 3 years.”

Yu Lian always felt that Feifei was mocking herself, but there was no proof.

"Also, at least there is no slavery in the Union itself, and it is all under the banner of hard labor for criminals. This has at least a limited number of years. The plunderers captured by the Union will be exempted from crime after serving [-] years of hard labor and become citizens. There are still many examples of normal life in the world. You gave them hope, but you did not show mercy, and you also helped us exchange urgently needed supplies and available manpower." She added.

Well, indeed, from this perspective, the looters who are about to enter the sweatshops, farms and mines, and even the arenas and laboratories, should theoretically have to thank me.As soon as Yu Lian thought of this, he immediately felt that he had already stood on the moral high ground.

At this time, Feifei said again: "However, I thought. You provoked those looters to kill your own leader, and you are planning to reform and let them join us."

"Bandits are not ordinary oppressed working people. Once they have blood on their hands and do evil, it is not so easy to reform. However, they are not ordinary bandits, but institutionalized, systematic, and disciplined Predator group. I let them kill their leader, just to destroy the systemic concept. That way, at least they will gradually accept their fate as prisoners of war and slave labor, and then they will think more .” Yu Lian said.

"Then it will be more convenient for us to guard it, right?"

"That's it. But it's one thing to keep them quiet, it's one thing to make them work, and it's another thing to be a crew member. I don't like seeing the helmsman and engineer on my little red. The gunners are all in shackles, and it's not the Roman era."

"Xiaohong?" Feifei raised her eyebrows, then sighed: "Yu'er, don't worry about naming the boat. I will re-carve the seal after referring to everyone's opinions."

"...Uh, it doesn't matter." Anyway, Yu Lian never expected to come up with a good ship name that everyone would accept, so he continued: "Compared to comparison, mercenaries are more reliable."

"Of course, there are also students from the security company." Feifei smiled.

"Yes! There are also students from the security company." Yu Lian nodded seriously: "I am not only looking for a way out for the heinous thugs, but also responsible for the future of the young soldiers. Mentor?"

The trainees that Yu Lian and Mr. Duba mentioned before were the predecessors of the later Tuos Merchant Group Banner Guard Army.

As we all know, the United Merchant Corps of Toss, as one of the second-rate powers in the galaxy, actually does not have its own unified army.Its unified military protection is the responsibility of the alliance.And every large enterprise and convoy also has its own "security department".

These security guards are fierce.Equipped with high-performance externally powered mechs, fighter jets, and even small and medium-sized escort warships, they can fight more than ordinary small countries.

However, in front of a real military power, security is just security.In addition, because the security department is theoretically affiliated to the major companies, there is no unified command sequence, and they can only deal with some small-scale pirates.

Yes, they are just small-scale pirates. If the fleet encounters a large fleet of pirates or even predators during the voyage, they can only flee to the galaxy where the nearest alliance fleet is located.

The majestic Toth United Merchant Corps Kingdom is also the second row member of the Galactic Civilization Council, and it is also an old powerful country that has been established for a thousand years, but it is always bullied by pirates. Is this reasonable?
In short, there is indeed a group of forces within the business group, saying that in order to deal with pirates, they should build their own unified fleet.

This is really for dealing with pirates and looters, I hope other countries, especially the alliance that provides military protection to merchant groups, don't think too much about it.

Of course, so far, the so-called national fleet of the merchant group has not even been reported to the Supreme Council of the merchant group. It is still in the small-scale preparation stage, and even the basic military and political system has not yet been established.

However, they are already working on it.And the alliance probably doesn't know yet.

As for why in theory the alliance doesn't know about it, and the top level of the business group doesn't know about it, but Yu Lian knows about it?
In fact, things like building an army always have to go through many people, so there is no secret in any case.Yu Lian reckoned that the top management of the alliance already knew it, and the white-haired fox must know it too.The "army founding faction" on the side of the business group should also know that the alliance knows.The Alliance's intelligence services even knew that the Merchant knew they knew.

All in all, this is a delicate balance formed after the balance of interests that makes everyone happy.

But for Yu Lian, it should be a good thing for the community, as well as himself, to establish the flagship team of the Ruotos Merchant Group earlier.

After Yu Lian finished speaking to Mr. Duba, there were more than 200 passionate young people on the Scarlet Throne, of all races, among whom less than one-third were from Torun.Although the average age (according to human standards) is not more than twenty-five years old, they are all young elites who have received military education and ship driving training, at least reaching the average level of naval noncommissioned officers of various countries.

At least in terms of academic qualifications and familiarity with warships, he is much better than a scum who graduated from a public high school in a private land of a third-class ethnic group.

It was obvious that these young men had been removed from several ships that Mr. Durbar had brought with him.He is already trying his best to start with the naval seeds of these future business groups.

"These children are our future!" Mr. Duba touched Yu Lian's hands and shook them non-stop: "I entrust our future to you. Mr. Yu, as long as they can have you With one tenth of courage and one percent of ability, the future of the business group is promising."

"I hope you will still be our friend at that time." Yu Lian said.

"That's a must." Duba gave another thumbs up.

Then, the two of them laughed loudly at the same time.Although they all know that the world is impermanent, the possibility of these words being realized is too low, but it does not delay the sincerity at this moment.

The Torun merchant pondered for a moment, and then said: "All the marauders and captives on the ship have been inspected. I have also installed newer restraint devices on them... They only wore some handcuffs before, and added three layers to the outside of the room. It’s just an interior door. There are more than [-] people but they dare not riot, it must be because of your prestige.”

"Even if it's me and a dragon, even if one person cuts down [-] people, the ship will be lost." Yu Lian smiled.

Mr. Duba was not quite sure whether the other party was serious or joking, so he laughed more heartily.

"The business has been done very well this time, so I will send you another piece of news. It is about the battle situation at the Gate of Glory. Now, unprecedented changes have taken place for everyone." He showed a mysterious smile .

He really deserves to be the second-level salesman of the business group!Since they want to conduct business in the Abyss Nebula, they must also be familiar with the surrounding military situation.

"Look at what you said, our Compass Chamber of Commerce is a serious civilized enterprise, how could it have any business with the outlaws of the Abyss Nebula? I just wanted to see if I could find a new trade route before venturing here .Then I met you by fate. All of this is the guidance of the spirit of the universe." He said seriously.

"At least the official report is like this." He added embarrassingly: "No way, these ships are the property of the merchant group, all contacts are automatically recorded, and the board of directors will conduct spot checks from time to time. The alliance side The black-skinned dog is more diligent in spot checks than the board of directors."

"Why are the officials of the alliance qualified to randomly check the ship records of your merchant group? Aren't you allies of the alliance?" Yu Lian asked narrowly.

Mr. Duba pretended he didn't hear it, and continued: "Anyway, the Imperial Army has lost the Gate of Glory."

"The Gate of Glory? The entire star area?" This news really shocked Yu Lian.

You must know that the Gate of Glory star area is not only the gate of the Empire directly facing the Perseid cantilever area, but also the star gate L3, which is the location of the "Gate of Glory".One of the largest strategic groups in the empire is stationed here all year round, and its combat power is enough to hang and beat the fleet composed of more than [-] countries of the Perseid Pact on the opposite side.

In addition, the person who sits here and is in charge of all military and political affairs of the Gate of Glory Military Region is one of the only two active marshals in the current election emperor, the eighty-sixth generation of Slein King Bolei III.

However, Yu Lian's evaluation of this vassal king is actually higher than that of another active marshal, King Solein.

To be honest, King Thorane is not only the number one master among the emperors in the general election (currently), he is indeed a famous general who is as swift as the wind and invades the fire.Although the use of troops is bold and brave, it does not lose flexibility and strategy.However, he is still a warrior with a fiery personality, and lacks overall thinking and consideration in all matters except military affairs.In terms of military affairs, foreign affairs and internal affairs, there are no reliable achievements.

If it weren't for the fact that the Gate of Glory is inseparable from a powerful figure with both civil and military skills, King Slein would be more suitable to enter the Privy Council to control the overall situation.

It stands to reason that with such a military and political all-rounder in charge of the Gate of Glory's affairs, and with so many troops in his hands, it should be impossible for anything to happen there.

"I have guessed the intention of the predators. Their large fleet will pass through the abyss nebula, cross the defense zone of the imperial army, and directly enter the hinterland of the star zone. They will be caught off guard..." Yu Lian said.

"That's right. Now, the main fleet of the predators has entered the Gate of Glory! It has defeated several frontier defense fleets with superior forces, and is currently approaching the green ocean." Mr. Duba said here, then With a curious expression: "Your Excellency, how did those large ships cross the Abyss Nebula?"

Yu Lian glanced at it, smiled and said, "That's another price."

Mr. Duba blinked his small round eyes, and sighed: "It seems that this is really not a secret that I can afford."

"No, based on your current status, even if you know this secret, it won't do you any good."

The Torun businessman didn't take it seriously, but instead showed a grateful expression: "This is a kind word, thank you very much."

"However, with the troops deployed by the empire in the Glory sector and King Slein's ability, even if the looters are caught off guard, they shouldn't be taken advantage of so quickly, right?"

According to Yu Lianyi's initial calculation.Since the Predator has already mastered the channel of the Abyss Nebula, then by bypassing the enemy's main force this time, he can completely enter the hinterland of the star area and grab a big one.This place is much richer than Extreme Frontier. As long as you conquer a few densely populated planets, the benefits you get will far exceed the cost of sending troops this time.

In addition, making the empire's most important frontier star field a beacon fire, maybe it can make the allies of the Persian Treaty and even the empire behind them ready to move, and it can indeed deal a good blow to the prestige of the empire.

Based on this alone, the newly enthroned Great Khan is enough to secure his position.

However, Yu Lian never imagined that the empire would be in such a mess.

"Yes! It stands to reason that they shouldn't... But King Slein is dead."

This news was even more shocking than what Yu Lian had heard before. He was stunned for three seconds, and then he couldn't help but pat his ears.

"...Dead?" The guy who later took charge of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and the Privy Council died just like that?Well, King Bolei III of Slein's reputation in the future was not too loud, because he had a slight disagreement with Queen Brunhilt's political opinions, and spent the rest of his life living in seclusion in his own territory, even the meetings of the Privy Council and the Senate Also basically absent.

He lived in seclusion in the territory for the rest of his life, and has been serving as the chairman of the university in his hometown. He has cultivated many talents and turned a third-rate university in a place into a first-class school.

When Yu Lianchuan came back, the contemporary Slein King Bolei III, who had faded out of politics for more than half a century, was still alive and kicking.

In short, whether as a transitional figure between the two eras of Emperor Eliser and Queen Brunhilt, or as an educator, he still represents a period of history and should be eligible for history textbooks.

Then, just die?

"Well, I was assassinated. It's just gone." Duba showed a sad expression: "Your Highness is a good man!"

For a business group like them wandering around the universe, an enlightened local military and political chief is naturally a good person, at least it will be much more convenient to do business.

It is not clear what impact the death of King Slein will have on future interstellar trade, but what is certain is that the imperial army in the Gate of Glory sector has indeed fallen into brief chaos.A large number of the main fleet gathered on the border of the extreme frontier star region acted a little dull for a while, and did not return to the hinterland of the star region immediately.By the time they received the order from the Generalissimo's Mansion, it was already a step too late.

Now, the reinforcement fleet coming from the border of the star region and the hinterland of the empire is approaching the Green Ocean Planet, but no matter how they are calculated, they will be one step behind the main force of the predators.

Duba said again: "I also heard that there seems to be a plague on the Green Ocean Star, and it is quite chaotic now. If this continues, the Green Ocean Star may not be able to survive."

Although he looked worried, it was difficult to hide his gloating emotions in those small black bean-like eyes.
