Mecha Journey

What Yang Mu said was actually what happened during the inspection of the galaxy in the mining area. The response of the captain of the mining area and the actual data detected at that time, plus what Ma Rui said, made Yang Mu feel that he seemed to have caught something fishy.

Yang Mu didn't know exactly what kind of trouble it was, but Yang Mu had already figured out how to draw out the trouble in the mining area.

"Captain, what you mean is that our so-called false shot is actually just to put so-called psychological pressure on them." In the cruise ship's command room, Liu Jie took a cup of hot drink, took a few sips, and frowned.

"But why did you find that they sent a spaceship to follow us here?" Liu Jie looked at the small mottled spacecraft on the screen in front of him that was hidden in the star field below the fleet just now, and he was a little confused.

Yang Mu rubbed his eyes and explained: "Psychological warfare is sometimes easier to fight than real combat. It is easy for people with evil intentions to try it out. But at that time, I just had the idea of ​​​​trying it. I didn't expect that the mining team was thinking There is indeed a ghost.”

"But what's below is obviously a spaceship belonging to the Star Thief Group. How can we deduce that they are related to the mining area? Maybe they just happened to be passing by and stopped to observe our somewhat weird exercise." Liu Jie still didn't agree with Yang Mu. said, trying to analyze.

Yang Mu shook his head. It was hard to say whether Liu Jie, as the cruiser's staff officer, had learned too little about psychological warfare. Yang Mu was able to draw such an inference, which was not only simple, but also extremely accurate.

"Commander Liu, please recall, how many planetary systems and asteroid belts are suitable for building a space base in the place where our route passed this time?"

Liu Jie frowned when he heard Yang Mu's erroneous question, but still said: "It passed through three asteroid belts, but they are located in deep space and the temperature is extremely low. It is impossible for star thieves to be stationed. The planetary system passed through one. It’s the mining area.”

Speaking of this, Liu Jie suddenly froze for a moment and said in horror: "You mean, the Star Thief got the information from the mining area and came to keep an eye on him?"

Yang Mu nodded and finished the hot drink in the cup: "That's right. Only the people in the mining area knew the patrol direction we deliberately spread when we left. And when we made a false shot in the mining area galaxy, some people would inevitably think that we discovered it. What, they will naturally keep an eye on us while diverting those dirty tricks. It is impossible for the mining area to expose itself, but the Star Thieves Group is a good choice. Therefore, everything depends on whose things are staring at us. If it is the mining area itself Yes, it means they made something themselves, and it belongs to the Star Thieves, which means they are colluding together."

"However, they were still fighting fiercely last year. I heard that a number of people died in the mining area, and Megan Mining even threatened to take revenge..."

"Interests, as long as they are large enough, for the company's managers, how can the loss of one or two employees be compared to the vested interests?"

Yang Mu said with a cold face, turning his head to look at the stars flashing outside. "If I'm not mistaken, their dirty tricks are probably those ordinary ores."

At this point, Yang Mu suddenly smiled and murmured to himself: "Smuggling with the Star Pirates, this Megan Mining really doesn't take Uncle Zheng Hai seriously."

…

"Why are you shipping the goods today? Expedited shipping costs extra."

In the Mining Star 2 office, a black man wearing colorful clothes and a turban on his head was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette and looking at the bearded man in front of him.

The bearded man looked at the other party coldly and snorted. "I have forged the shipping manifest. If you can't ship it today, the fleet will go back and send someone to check, and we will all be doomed."

When the black man heard this, he sneered, looked up at the frowning bearded man, and said jokingly: "Didn't Mr. Captain say that he had already made preparations for exploration on the edge of the planet?" There are no traces, and they were not reported to the military. Isn’t this move of attacking from the east to the west guaranteed by you?"

"That's because the fleet captain has not been changed! I didn't expect that the old man actually retired and was replaced by a new captain. This captain is still Yang Mu, the star of the Republic who turned his pen into a soldier a while ago!"

The black man obviously knew the name, but he said without changing his face: "So what, a young boy, he can still see so clearly?"

"At least he is smarter than you. Anyway, he has so many titles. Even if others say that he is not worthy of his name, I can't just risk it." The bearded man seemed to be very angry and asked.

"The people you sent to follow are not reliable. I don't want any problems to happen now."

The black man grinned, took out a large old-fashioned personal terminal, and projected a video to the bearded man.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will never delay their work. The Show of the Republic you mentioned seems to be having internal strife."

The bearded man grabbed the opponent's personal terminal and looked at the video in front of him. Two assault ships were firing fiercely at a cruiser, and it seemed that this was the fleet that came to patrol him before.

What's going on here? How can one's own people beat one's own people? exercise? But this is obviously a battle with real swords and guns. Could something happen inside?

"What now? Are they still fighting?" Big Beard wanted to see more clearly, but the personal terminal was taken away by a black man. Big Beard asked quickly.

"Otherwise? Don't worry, this rotten fleet is already fighting hard. It seems that the new captain is dissatisfied and betrayed? Haha, this fleet is really rubbish."

The bearded man finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the black man's answer, but he still said immediately: "Let your people speed up and leave here with the goods as soon as possible. The destination is still the same place. You know what to do."

The black man put away his personal terminal, but did not respond to the bearded man's words. Instead, he turned around and sat back on the chair, turning the chair around. The bearded man frowned slightly.

"Of course I know how to do it, but the shipping costs are going up." The black man smiled triumphantly, rubbed his fingers, and said sadly.

"One and a half percent ore." The bearded man was silent for a moment and said coldly.

The black man raised his palms, closed his eyes and shook his head.

"I've already given you an extra shipping fee. In the past, it was only 10%." The bearded man was obviously very unhappy when he saw the black man sitting on the ground and raising the price, and said in a deep voice.

"Thirty percent, fixed price." The black man slowly stretched out three fingers and said calmly.

"You are just raising your price from the ground. Do you want to accept the anger from Megan Mining?!" Upon hearing this, the bearded man was furious and started to fight.

"Na na na, Mr. Captain, you are so majestic." The black man narrowed his eyes slightly and said, but suddenly he put out the cigarette butt in his hand, leaned forward, widened his eyes and said arrogantly to the bearded man.

"The anger of Megan Mining, will you have to bear the anger from the New Star Territory Fleet and the New Star Territory Administration Office? Colluding with star thieves and smuggling minerals, well, let me think about how many people can be arrested for this crime. "

"Hey, it seems Mr. Captain can't escape either." The black man showed his white teeth and said proudly.

The bearded man clenched his fists, the veins on his face surged, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget that you have the leverage in our hands."

"Isn't it our station? Don't worry, I'll leave it to you. If we hadn't abided by the rules, I would have swallowed this batch of your goods without hesitation. Comrade Captain, what do you think? "

At this moment, the bearded man was sweating profusely from his back, cursing himself for how he could trust the Star Thieves, but he had to take action. Although the matter of smuggling ore was the intention of the higher-ups, if something went wrong, he would definitely have to bear the responsibility.

"Twenty percent."

"Twenty-five percent, Mr. Captain, that's enough sincerity." The black man sat back on the chair expressionlessly and said, murderous intent seeping out of his gloomy eyes.

The bearded man closed his eyes tightly and nodded heavily. The black man suddenly showed a satisfied smile.

"Hey, that's right. Happy cooperation, happy cooperation." The black man crossed his legs and stretched out his hand, but the door of the office was kicked open. The black man immediately turned around and yelled in anger, but Seeing his little brother coming up anxiously.

"Chief, what's wrong, three warships, a cruiser, and two assault ships have arrived from the outer reaches of the galaxy. They have already killed many of our brothers!"

"What?!" The black man and the bearded man stood up suddenly.
