Interstellar Farmer

As the auction day approaches, more and more envoys come to participate. Especially in the last month, they seem to have been discussed and come together in a crowd! In the contact shortly afterwards, after accurate investigation by the Intelligence Department, this guess was confirmed - they really came here after forming a group. It was quite lively now, and there were more and more small groups!

Similar to the two hundred that Han Zhen expected, a total of 194 families and forces came. Now that everyone is here, the work of the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can be fully launched. The relevant departments have worked closely together to achieve the goal of what should have been an arduous task: let each of the 194 people have their own ideas. The family has only formed sixty or seventy small gangs with their own plans. If you push it upwards, you can only form nearly twenty slightly larger coalitions that are not even loose alliances. Contradictions abound, and disputes occur all the time. As long as it can be ensured that no one or a few dominant forces appear, it is a victory; and with constant provocation, the conflicts between the various forces are getting more and more intensified. The possibility of joining forces to exert pressure is basically blocked!

In the last month, the reception force temporarily formed by the border military region for this auction can be said to be busier than the two departments of intelligence and diplomacy. They also have to fight with some of these forces to enter the first border on the high seas. At that time, it was not a secret to receive the extra money brought by these forces - the 24 modified satellites sold directly by China in private. After paying the advance payment, these forces came back this time just to pay the remainder. China is currently able to install 157 satellites, most of which are obtained from advance payments. Although the advance payments originally required accounted for most of the sale price, when all these numbers are added up, there are a total of 73 satellites. and a small amount of unpaid equipment, parts and supplies.

These private forces do not belong to the 194 families participating in the auction. Although they have also stationed at the border of China, they are located in a much smaller area with no communication connections and almost bordering the buffer zone. middle. China also specially reminded them: Don’t form gangs, otherwise deviations will easily occur when delivering cargo satellites, and the smell of shock will be strong. Of course, if you want to buy another one and bid at a public auction, China is also very welcome, but you must obtain China's consent before you can enter the auction area. However, until the public auction, no one had submitted an application to China. After investigation, the two departments found out that they had this intention and planned to wait until they obtained the modified satellite.

The prices of the 24 planets sold directly are all different, and the first one from the Vani family is the cheapest. This makes Nivakar feel a little better. The others, especially the fourth one, are the cheapest. The sale begins with a small, secret auction, and the highest bidder wins. As soon as the satellite is obtained, the receiving troops will immediately drive to the satellite transformation center, transform it and equip it as quickly as possible - hurry up now, and the probability of foreign enemies in China's territory will be greater in the future!

It’s not that no one objects to China doing this, and no force wants to pay off the balance so early, but this is a seller’s market, and China has the final say. If he were not worried about stimulating these buyers too hard and causing them to fall out or join forces, Han Zhen would definitely require that all the money be paid in full from the beginning, and the delivery time would be at least eight years, but of course this is It didn't work. After countless negotiations, compromises, and concessions, the current deal was reached in which China seemed to have taken a big advantage.

***********

Each family or force at the auction point is assigned an area that does not interfere with each other. In the area of ​​the Holly family, the only control area on the satellite, the chief envoy who came this time, Lei Bai, is also The third son of Holly, the current patriarch, asked a deputy who had just received the message from the communication ship: What on earth does the Dodge family mean!?

The entire auction area has an extremely complete communication network, which can all communicate in real time. However, among the nearly two hundred families, almost no one uses it. They would rather use the most primitive communication ships and temporary, relay-type ones. Communication conversion device to undertake communication affairs. The reason is, without it, don’t worry! Don't worry about China, nor any other forces that come here. It's better to use your own, primitive but better confidential communication tools. Although it's a little slower, it's better than not knowing where you are hiding. It would be much better for your opponent to detect it!

Ramani has not expressed his position. It seems that he is still waiting and watching! The deputy envoy quickly browsed the news and opened the received intelligence as he spoke.

Still waiting to see?! What time has this old guy been! Lei Bai cursed, reviewing the situation of multiple forces in his mind, Forget it, ignore him anymore, what are you looking at? I had some contact with my family in the past, but with their little power, they really didn’t take it seriously!”

In terms of the alliance of small gangs, if they are family forces from the same country, as long as they are not mortal enemies, and as long as the conflicts are not particularly acute, it will be easy to reach a consensus on the division of interests. This is also a basis for the formation of small gangs. But this situation is very rare. The families that can come are considered the heroes of their respective countries, and the forces that can come from the same country basically have irreconcilable conflicts with each other - very good Understand, the reason for coming to this auction is to let your family be technologically superior to the enemy family. Since it can serve as an opponent, since it appears here, this family will definitely not be worse than my own family! How could they unite as soon as they arrived here? !

It is still feasible to unite with other families who have no direct conflicts of interest and have some understanding. But this is not easy to handle. There are not completely no conflicts between the families, but they are slightly smaller. This alone requires a long period of coordination and compromise; the power of each family is not weak, and the division of interests is very difficult. It is difficult to satisfy all parties. The question of who will take the leading position in the alliance can make people break their heads - this is related to future interests. Even if they want to give in, they have to listen to the voice of the family. . So no matter what, there is only one word, trouble, very trouble! It's not that I haven't thought about partnering with families that have neither direct conflicts of interest nor indirect conflicts, but these families are basically not familiar with each other and cannot know the root cause, and the defensiveness generated during the alliance will be even heavier.

So far, the Holly family has united with the Erman family in their country (the Tenglong Empire is also a seventh-level power. In addition, they have received more information than other families and forces, and the number of forces that have come has reached four. With more numbers, there are relative choices. The Erman family was chosen among them. It has had many cooperative relationships with the Holly family) and has had many contacts with the other three families and has a relatively harmonious relationship. In addition to the two families located in the neighboring countries of Tenglong, the conflicts are not too serious and can be mediated, the total is seven!

In such a coalition, Holly's Leiber reluctantly became the leader because he was the initiator and one of the best in terms of strength. However, this temporary coalition was too weak compared to the coalitions of other forces. Small! They must be increased as soon as possible, at least to break through to ten in a short period of time, in order to occupy a seat in this chaotic and terrible place!

Thinking of this, Lei Bai felt extremely depressed. Before he came, he never thought that the situation here would be so complicated, so complicated that he, who was already so arrogant, would want to lick a Dodge family who had just entered the seventh level a few years ago, and the whole country combined was about the same as his own family. Ass!

You will be nice to see when I go back! Lei Bai thought secretly, although he also knew that this was just a gamble in his heart. Although the country where Dodge is located has entered the seventh level less than three thousand years ago, it is still the largest and only royal family in that country. It has the final say over the entire country. Even if the power hidden below is not taken into account, it is not what the Holly family wants. Bullying can be bullied!

Sir, would you like to contact the two families of Manda and Hefke again? The deputy waited quietly and suggested after seeing Lei Bai calm down a little.

It's not necessary. I know something about the Manda family's envoy this time. Since he directly refused to contact us, it means that he will not change it again. Hefko has no chance to fight for it, so he put it away. If you come in, our life will be even more difficult! Lei Bai rejected it directly.

Sir, I have some doubts and I don't know whether to take it seriously or not. Seeing Lei Bai's signal, the deputy said quickly: I feel something is wrong. Manda is easy to understand. After all, I was deeply offended back then, but Hefke's side , they seem to have seen our arrangement from somewhere, this is basically impossible!

You mean, we have spies here?! Leiber said solemnly. After thinking about it, something was wrong. When talking about how to transport the satellite back after the auction, the leader of Hefko actually pointed out that there was an ambush at a certain location in one of the channels! If it hadn't been for it, I would be much better off now, and I should have gathered ten forces long ago to greatly increase my strength! And that place is quite secretive and shouldn't be known to it! It's useless to argue. Once you get to this damn place, you can't come in or out at will. But as long as you want to check, China, a bastard country, will be happy to help for a fee after charging a fee... Thinking of this, Lei Bai's face became even more ugly.
