Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 511 Bargaining
When Yu Linglong arrived, Zhan Ruilin was discussing with Lin Xiaoting about sending troops.

Since Yu Linglong hadn't been in contact with Yu Linglong, the matter of borrowing the transport spaceship from Yu's family could not be confirmed, so Zhan Ruilin asked Lin Xiaoting to formulate a new plan so that he could still be able to use the transport fleet without borrowing from Yu's family. Send the Legion to the most important colony systems in time.

Without thinking too much, Zhan Ruilin went to see Yu Linglong, and at the same time asked Lin Xiaoting to continue to perfect the backup plan.

Although there was a bad feeling, but Yu Linglong came to the headquarters of the third theater, and naturally had very important matters, so she must not miss her.Besides, it was Zhan Ruilin who came out to borrow the transport spaceship from Yu's family. Whether he borrowed it or not, Yu Tianba would reply.

Seeing Yu Linglong, Zhan Ruilin's worry became even more obvious.

"Marshal, the Patriarch has already made a decision."

"is it?"

"The head of the family promised to lend the transport fleet to the marshal, and arrangements have been made. It is expected to arrive in the home galaxy in a few days."

Zhan Ruilin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Yu Tianba to agree so readily, but he immediately thought that things were not that simple.

"It's just that the current situation is a bit complicated."

"complex?"

Yu Linglong sighed, and said: "So far, I have only contacted one transport fleet, and there are only about [-] million-ton transport spaceships."

Zhan Ruilin's brows twitched a few times, his previous worries were indeed right.

"The head of the family said that the affairs of the marshal are our affairs, but I have no other choice."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Ruilin secretly sighed, trying to calm down.

"The marshal should know that after the war broke out, especially after the home galaxy was surrounded by the enemy, in order to minimize losses, we had to disperse and hide the fleet. According to our plan, after the enemy retreated, the fleet scattered outside It will be concentrated and then deployed according to the actual situation. Prior to this, we have concentrated the fleet, and after the military department issued a comprehensive anti-war order, we began to support the resistance organizations in various colonial galaxies, and sent fleets to support these resistance organizations. Organize to send continued equipment and supplies, as well as rescue those civilians who lost their homes in the war." Yu Linglong paused for a moment before saying, "After the Patriarch made a decision, I immediately started contacting the transport delivery companies scattered in various places. It’s just that only one transport fleet has been contacted so far.”

"what about others?"

"I do not know either."

Zhan Ruilin frowned, and looked at Yu Linglong in confusion.

Yu Linglong let out a long breath before saying: "The Yu family's industries spread all over the entire Northern Fourth District, almost all the colonized galaxies, all the planets with human settlements have our people, and there are also businesses we have opened, or have cooperated with us. , a non-governmental organization with close contacts. In any case, it is impossible for us to abandon these people, and it is impossible for them to live in the shadow of the enemy all the time, so our fleet is all over the entire Northern Fourth District. The one we are contacting now The fleet is within the jurisdiction of the third war zone, and it is the only fleet within the jurisdiction of the third war zone. We are still trying to get in touch with other fleets, but it seems unlikely now."

"You mean, the other fleets are not within the jurisdiction of the third theater?"

Yu Linglong nodded, indicating that was exactly what she meant.

Zhan Ruilin's face twitched a few times, and his face became extremely ugly.Although Yu Linglong didn't mention the reason, the meaning was obvious.She did not contact other transport fleets, precisely because those fleets were within the jurisdiction of other theaters, they must have been requisitioned.

You should know that according to the wartime order just issued by the military department, the nine theaters have the right to unconditionally requisition civilian ships within their jurisdiction, and there is no need to notify or report in advance.Simply put, as long as you encounter it, you can directly requisition it.Leaving aside the fact that civilian spaceships do not have the combat power to fight against warships, refusing to requisition is equivalent to betrayal, and in times of war, the military has the right to directly deal with traitors.

Obviously, as long as they are requisitioned, these spaceships will no longer belong to the Yu family, and will no longer be deployed by the Yu family.

If you can't get in touch, it's a very normal thing.

"Only five hundred spaceships?" Zhan Ruilin didn't lose his mind from his anger.To put it bluntly, Yu's spaceship was requisitioned by other war zones, and he couldn't do anything about it.Even if he is the commander of the third war zone, he is very influential in the military and federal authorities, and it is impossible to blame other theaters for this matter.Besides, the third war zone is also doing the same thing, that is, Zhan Ruilin has long ordered the requisition of civilian spaceships within the jurisdiction.

"There are only five hundred million-ton ships, but there are also some slightly smaller spaceships."

"How many?" Zhan Ruilin saw hope.Although mega-ton ships are the ideal choice, small ships can also transport legions.

"There are about a thousand ships of the [-]-ton class, and there are also some small cargo ships of the [-]-ton class that do not independently cross the star system. I am not very clear about the exact number, but it will certainly not be much less. "Yu Linglong let out a long breath, and said, "Of course, we have improved these spaceships so that they can travel across star systems, but they must be assisted by other large spaceships."

Zhan Ruilin nodded slightly and said, "When will the fleet arrive?"

"marshal……"

"Although what we need is a large spaceship, in the current situation, even a small spaceship can come in handy, at least it is better than nothing. You should know that just a few days ago, the enemy destroyed three colonial galaxies. Three galaxies of extremely important value. If..."

"marshal!"

After Yu Linglong raised her voice, Zhan Ruilin stopped.

"The head of the family said that it is no problem to lend the fleet to the third war zone, even if it is to provide more support. It is just that the Yu family has made great contributions to this war and assumed many responsibilities that did not belong to us. And now There are many places that need our support."

"is it?"

Yu Linglong forced a smile and said, "The Patriarch means that we support the third war zone, and hope that the Marshal will consider us."

"Of course, the Yu family supports me unconditionally, so I will naturally think about the Yu family."

"The marshal has said so, so I won't beat around the bush anymore."

Although Zhan Ruilin readily agreed, his words were very vague, as if he didn't agree to anything.However, Yu Linglong pretended not to hear it.

Zhan Ruilin nodded slightly and asked Yu Linglong to continue.

"The Patriarch means that if the Marshal thinks about us, he will show something, such as helping us find the lost transport fleet. Of course, the Patriarch is also thinking of the Marshal, all we need is to know the whereabouts of these fleets. Although our Yu family has its own intelligence system, it is a time of war, and the fleet is likely to be detained by other theaters. It is not easy to obtain information. Of course, with the ability of the marshal, obtaining information is not What's the matter. The owner also asked me to tell the marshal that if the marshal is willing to help us take back these fleets, then no matter what the result is, we will jointly control these fleets with the marshal, or the marshal has priority."

Zhan Ruilin frowned and did not rush to speak.

Yu Linglong didn't continue to say, this is only the first condition, if they can't agree on this point, there is no need to raise the second condition.

After a while, Zhan Ruilin said: "This matter is a bit tricky. As you said, it is now a time of war. Although I am the commander of the third war zone and have the right to speak in the military department, the nine war zones are all concerned about their own interests. Yes, not to mention exchanging information, we have never even really cooperated. Of course, I will do my best to find out the whereabouts of those fleets as soon as possible. As for whether to assist the Yu family to regain the fleet, we will talk about it at that time."

"It is enough to have the marshal's words."

"So, when will you take the current fleet..."

"Marshal, the owner of the family promised to lend the fleet to the marshal, but he did not agree to hand over the fleet to the marshal."

Zhan Ruilin was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yu Linglong incomprehensibly, feeling that there was no difference between the two.

"Actually, it's not that we don't trust the marshal, but because of what happened during this period, we must have some reservations. Although the owner promised to lend the fleet to the marshal, it must be controlled by our people, that is, all the crew will be dispatched by us. Just follow the dispatch of the third war zone." Yu Linglong paused for a moment, and then said, "This arrangement is just to ensure that after completing the transportation task arranged by the marshal, we can send the fleet to other places in time to perform other tasks. Anyway, there are many places that need transport fleets now. Besides, this is the last fleet directly controlled by our Yu Family. Even if the Patriarch absolutely trusts the Marshal, we dare not take the risk."

"So, it's just a temporary loan?"

Yu Linglong nodded, indicating that was what she meant, and then said: "Actually, the Patriarch made this arrangement for the sake of the marshal. Anyway, our Yu family has ready-made crew members, and they are very familiar with their spaceships, and there are With rich experience in spaceflight. Although the third war zone has a lot of talents and no shortage of crews, taking over thousands of spaceships is a troublesome matter, and it will definitely take a lot of time, which will also have an impact on the operations of the third war zone. Obviously , the last thing to waste now is time."

Zhan Ruilin was a little speechless, but he couldn't refute Yu Linglong's point of view.

If time is delayed due to taking over the transport fleet and the opportunity to recover the colonial galaxy is missed, even if the fleet is taken as their own, it will not be worth the loss.

You know, a fleet is nothing compared to those colonial galaxies with great strategic significance.

Besides, as long as the action is timely and enough colony systems are seized, and the third war zone becomes the most powerful military force of the Human Federation, will the Yu family have any other choice?On the contrary, if the third war zone is not the most powerful existence of the Human Federation, the Yu family must have other ideas.

After quick consideration, Zhan Ruilin knew that he didn't have much bargaining chips.

To put it bluntly, now he is begging the Yu family, not the Yu family begging him.Among other things, as long as Yu Linglong discloses the news that the Yu family still has a fleet, the commanders of the other eight war zones may take the initiative to find her and discuss with her the cooperation with the Yu family.
