Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 273
Since Qin Xu was blocked by the stock exchange, he has never used his identity information to conduct any transactions.

The money in the account has not been touched much, and everything seems to have disappeared.

In fact, the 550w that had been put into Portman's network by Qin Xu has already gone crazy under the blessing of Qin Xu's predictive ability.

550w is invaded through hardware, not through network.

In addition, 550w was very low-key during this period, and transactions in the stock market used a large number of small transactions as much as possible to replace large transactions.

It seems that each order is very small, and the money earned is not much.

But in fact when all the orders are gathered together, it will be a huge astronomical amount of money.

Portman's folk are just too rich.

The Portman government is so rich, the companies, enterprises, and people here are the richest.

And most of these people's money is in the stock market.

It is also very easy to plunder 550w. Up to now, his principal has doubled countless times.

Soon, the Predator Empire sent another communication to 550w.

"Portman has dispatched a large number of troops to protect their merchant ships. Our recent plundering efficiency has become increasingly low..."

The other party's face was kind, but what was revealed inside and outside the words was nothing more than asking 550w to add more money to Portman's merchant ship.

You must know that although the money provided by Portman is small, it comes steadily at regular intervals and does not require them to do anything risky.

Although the money offered by 550w is a lot, they need to settle the accounts according to the plundered merchant ships.

In other words, there is a certain risk.

And this risk is equivalent to the denominator of the money, the larger the denominator, the less the amount of reward above.

550w quickly connected the call to Qin Xu.

The image is still a fuzzy image of 550w, but the sound has been specially processed by AI.

"Then how much do you think a merchant ship should pay you now?"

Qin Xu smiled and asked the question to the other side.

This question stumped the other party all of a sudden.

In fact, the Predator Empire has never received such a large amount of money until now.

Receive an advance and give them another batch of money for plundering merchant ships.

This was unimaginable before, so now I don’t know how to evaluate this price.

But when it comes to negotiation, it is natural for the lion to open its mouth a little wider, and if it is not appropriate, then bargaining.

So the person on the other side shouted out a very high price.

"can."

Qin Xu's second promise made the other party embarrassed again.

Did you shout down?But the price is already very high. Does the other party really not regard the money as money?
But the words have already been uttered, and it is impossible to change them.

"But if the price increases to such a high level, there must be an additional condition."

When the other party heard that it was conditional, he breathed a sigh of relief again and really thought he had shouted down.

"Just tell us, as long as it's within our capabilities, we'll be satisfied."

"I'm going to let you blow up the Portman Washington Trade Hub space station."

Qin Xu's words immediately stunned the Predator Empire.

No, why do these words feel so familiar?
It seems that not long ago, Portman asked them to blow up the Toronto trade hub of the Human Complex.To this end, Portman also provided them with a large number of battleships equipped with jump engines.

It can be said that the Predator Empire could easily blow up the Washington Trade Hub Space Station with the equipment Portman had provided them with military assistance.

The jump engine is currently only controlled by Field and Portman.

And the war between Field and Portman must not break out easily. Once it breaks out, it will be a disaster for the entire Eastern Milky Way.

Therefore, in terms of defense capabilities, although the Washington trade hub giant space station serves as one of the economic arterial routes of the entire Portman, it does not have a high level of defense.

Defense forces are concentrated at the entrances and exits of various hyperspace waterways. As long as these entrances and exits are blocked, the pirates will not be able to enter.

But there is one exception, that is, the Predator Empire can directly use the jump engine to jump to the galaxy where the Washington Space Station is located.

Just like when Dean attacked the Toronto Space Station.

Without giving the other party any time to react, a large number of fleets suddenly descended from the sky.

Coupled with the fact that the opponent's fleet is fighting fires everywhere at the moment, the military forces are already very scattered, and it is the best time to attack the trade hub of Washington.

But it's also a huge risk.

First of all, although Portman once gave them a large number of battleships capable of jump navigation, the Washington Space Station is the enemy's hinterland, and no one knows what the situation is inside.

Perhaps there is a huge standing army guarding there all the time.

Just when the Predator Empire was hesitating, Qin Xu was already relieved.

hesitate?Just hesitate.

As long as there is no immediate and face-to-face rejection, then the matter is already done.

"Kill the Washington Space Station and cut off Portman's economic artery. I will increase the price by 500% on the original basis and pay it all in one lump sum."

Hearing this, the other party's eyes were red with excitement.

However, Qin Xu's next sentence made his blood boil.

"This is separate from the money for attacking merchant ships. The original payment remains the same. This was only paid to you after you destroyed the Washington Space Station."

After hearing this, there is nothing to hesitate about.

The other party didn't even need to report to the superiors, and agreed immediately.

After the other party left, Qin Xu couldn't help but sigh, it's great to have money, and he doesn't even have to fight the war himself.

After sighing with emotion, he remembered the tragic situation of the Toronto Space Station at that time. The busy traffic lines were covered with countless human corpses and starship wreckage.

What was supposed to be the unity of mankind, the most prosperous place, and the most powerful economic engine, was directly destroyed.

However, out of fear of Portman, the human ensemble has not announced that the attack was caused by Portman.

Because Portman did not leave any traces, those battleships were really given to the Marauder Empire, and Portman did not do any recycling.

As for why pirates have so many battleships equipped with jump engines?
So what does that have to do with Portman?

You can't just assume that it was Portman who did it just because of this jump engine.

Therefore, those currently claimed to be killed by the Predator Empire.

And once the horrors of the Toronto space station are reproduced at the Washington space station, Portman can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

It was only humans on the front foot that the space station was destroyed by the Predator Empire, and Portman's on the back foot was also destroyed. You can't say that it was humans who did this.

In this case, even if Portman finds evidence, there is no way to tell it.

Because if humans lead the attack on the Portman Space Station, what about the space station on the human side?
