Chapter 253 Bad News

Southern Cross Spaceport Observatory.

"Team leader, is there any news these days? Why are there more and more large transport ships gathered at the port?"

"Who knows, why don't you care about others if you do your own thing well?"

"Hey, team leader, do you think you can make money by doing ocean trade?"

"Nonsense." The team leader stretched his waist: "Ocean trade... If you're lucky, you can make several times the profit by going back and forth to those small countries in the southeast."

"So much? It's a pity that with my salary, I have to go without food or drink for at least 50 years before I can afford a transport ship..."

The team leader gave him a blank look, and said: "Do you think ocean trade is easy to do? If you encounter pirates, let alone recover the cost, be careful that you will lose your life..."

The observer shrank his neck, not going to talk about this issue any more.

Suddenly, a group of neat light spots appeared on the screen, and the data showed that these light spots were rapidly approaching the spaceport.

As the opponent approaches, observers can also see these spacecraft with the help of remote observation systems.

All pure white brand-new Veyron Group's export-oriented standard warships are rapidly approaching in a neat formation.The observer pondered for a moment in his mind, and it seemed that no company or fleet had a pure white livery.The reflective performance of this kind of bright color painting is much higher than that of dark color painting, and it is easier for the enemy to find themselves, so few people will paint the spaceship used for battle in this color.

The observer's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Team leader, there is an unfamiliar fleet coming towards the space port, and the speed is very fast!"

The team leader immediately ran over, glanced at the screen, and then heaved a sigh of relief. He slapped the observer on the head and said, "You idiot, you don't even know this sign?"

As he spoke, he zoomed in on the logo on the bow of the ship.

It was a huge silver shield, with strange and somewhat mysterious patterns painted on the shield surface, and it was barely recognizable as two Y characters.

"This is?" The observer looked at his team leader in confusion.

"Idiot, this is the newly established Tower Shield Security Company!" After speaking, the team leader fixed his eyes on the screen and praised: "Such a neat formation can still have such a high speed, the command of this fleet Officer, he is definitely a master..."

The neat white fleet slowly entered the space port. Such a huge battle fleet entered the port, which immediately caught the attention of everyone in the port.

"Others don't get off the ship. Tianyuan, follow me to the company headquarters."

Taking Xu Tianyuan with him, Yun Yi came to the busiest avenue in Universe Port, where the company headquarters of Tower Shield Security is located.

"Hi boss!"

"Hi boss!"

Along the way, the employees were all working intensely, only a few of them knew the young chairman and greeted him one after another.But those newcomers looked at Yunyi in surprise, seeing his young appearance in surprise.

Yun Yi nodded to everyone, and strode into Lan Tian's office.Lan Tian was receiving a few clients, when she saw Yun Yi's arrival, she immediately apologized to those clients, and went to an empty office with Yun Yi.

"Lan Tian, ​​have you bought the electronic reconnaissance ship I requested? Also, how long will it take for the merchants to assemble and when can they set off?"

After closing the door, Lan Tian looked at Yun Yi with a cold face, and smiled lightly: "The electronic scout ship is in place and is being painted at the port. The crew can be stationed in the afternoon. There are ten ships in total, and all of them are equipped with electronic devices designated by the boss War equipment, a total of 740 million imperial gold dollars."

"740 million? It's about the same as I expected." Yun Yi nodded and said, "Where are those businessmen?"

"The deadline I gave them is tomorrow. If they don't arrive by 24 o'clock tomorrow, they will not be able to join the fleet and will also pay the company a large liquidated damages."

Yun Yi made some calculations, turned to Xu Tianyuan and said, "Tianyuan, you can go back now, organize the transport ships that have arrived according to our plan, and connect the control network on the ship to the flagship, so that we can In addition, you should inform Xiahou that after four o'clock in the afternoon, you will take someone to receive the electronic reconnaissance ships."

"Yes!" Xu Tianyuan had no objection, turned around and left after receiving the order.

After Xu Tianyuan left, Yun Yi casually found a chair and sat down, and said, "Now you can tell me, what exactly do you need to talk to me about?"

Yesterday afternoon, when Yun Yi was organizing the crew to board the ship, he suddenly received a communication from Lan Tian, ​​saying that there was an extremely important matter and he had to have an interview with Yun Yi.As a result, after the crew was in place, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.There was no other way, Yun Yi had no choice but to order the fleet to set off overnight, and rushed over in a hurry.Because there were only two drills, and many people on board did not have a good rest, there were always small problems of one kind or another on the road.Fortunately, both Xu Tianyuan and Xiahou Bubai's commanding abilities were outstanding, so no major incident happened, but it also made Yunyi's mood extremely bad.

Looking at Yun Yi's stinky face, Lan Tian couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said, "Boss, do you have conflicts with the Mahmoud family?"

"The Mahmoud family? No, I haven't dealt with them, and I don't have any conflicts."

This family, Yunyi, has heard of it. Like the Chen family, the Felt family and other families, it is one of the thirteen families that control the Cologne Chamber of Commerce and is very powerful.

"What about the Hayreddins, the Races, and the Highburys?"

"Highbury?" Yun Yi looked at the blue sky fiercely, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Boss, although the Cologne Chamber of Commerce is controlled by thirteen families, under the subdivision of these thirteen families, it can be divided into three interest groups. Headed by the Mahmoud family, including Hayreddin, Reis He and Highbury are an interest group, headed by the Chen family, and the five families including Felt and Leiter are another interest group, while the other four families operate independently and never favor any side. These two groups are Political enemies, attacking each other. On the surface, the thirteen families are united in harmony and working together for the country. But in fact, these two groups have long been full of contradictions in order to compete for seats in the parliament."

Lan Tian looked at Yun Yi, as if trying to see something in his eyes, but found nothing.Shaking his head, he continued: "If the boss didn't have any conflicts with them, it should be because of the Chen family's support for us, which caused the Mahmoud family to think that we belonged to the Chen family..."

Yun Yi's face changed slightly: "You mean, the Mahmoud family has taken action against our company?"

Lan Tian nodded, turned on the portable optical computer he carried with him, called up some data and said: "According to the information I got, under the establishment of the Cologne Chamber of Commerce, the four families on Mahmoud's side used to be in the southeast universe. Great pirate..."

Yun Yi was slightly taken aback, feeling a little unbelievable.In a free trade country founded on commerce, some of its founders were pirates.

"It's not surprising." Lan Tian shook his head and said, "In the hundreds of years after the collapse of the Galactic Empire, the southern universe was in chaos, and these four families were all pirate kings. But after the rise of Chu Tang and New America , For the safety of trade routes, we have carried out joint campaigns many times. In order to prevent the monopoly of trade routes by the two big countries, the Pirate King joined forces with some big merchants to establish the Cologne Business Alliance."

Only then did Yun Yi understand that although it felt a bit unbelievable, in fact, whether it was a businessman or a pirate, they were all based on profit. Even former enemies could unite for profit.

Lan Tian continued: "In the current Cologne Merchant Alliance, apart from the fleets of each family, there are less than ten security companies with more than a hundred warships, and the two largest ones belong to the Mahmoud family and the Hayreddin family. Family. There are rumors that when the four major pirate kings joined the business alliance back then, they retained part of their strength and still engaged in pirate activities. Even now, the two parties are very closely connected. According to my investigation, The information received by the Chen family has already confirmed this."

Hearing this, Yun Yi already understood what Lan Tian meant. It seemed that these families were planning to use pirates to deal with them.

Lan Tian thought that it was because of the help of the Chen family that the hatred of the Mahmoud family was caused.But Yun Yi knew very well that such a thing happened must be because the Highbury family found some clues in the Broken Star Belt.

It has been more than four months since the Highbury family sent a fleet into the Broken Star, but they have not received any news. I am afraid that they have already sent people to the Republic of Oli to investigate.After receiving the news from Lianka Chenfeng, Felt, Skado and Chenjia had urgently prepared a fleet half a month ago, preparing to carry out detailed detection and preliminary development of NWAL0083.How could such a big move not be known to the Highbury family?
And the fact that I entered NWAL0083 as a mercenary will definitely be known by the Highbury family. If several aspects are connected, no matter how stupid the Highbury family is, I am afraid that they would have guessed that their fleet was wiped out in the Broken Star Belt. .And as Yunyi who arrived at the business alliance alive, coupled with the help of the Chen family, it is obvious that there is an unusual connection.

"Boss, according to the news from the insider of the Chen family among the pirates, some pirates have already started to unite, the number is extremely large, and the target is very likely to be our fleet."

For a moment, Yunyi had a terrible headache. She didn't expect to encounter such a serious problem when her career just started.

Looking at the blue sky around him, Yun Yi thought for a while, and decided to trust this young business genius.

"Lan Tian, ​​I want to tell you something about the Highbury family, maybe it will help this time..."
