Chapter 722: Staring at the Normandy, A Conjecture Begins
Facts have proved that as long as the price is set, the parliament can always turn a funeral into a happy event.
Xie Yuan drove away the collectors this time and preserved the Horizon Colony. On the second day of the voyage, word of mouth from local residents spread throughout the galaxy.
Because Pan Asia didn't value the applause brought by this incident, Xie Yuan directly put the credit on the Star Alliance Marines.
Externally, they were praised for their firm will, courage to fight and charge, and after suffering huge casualties, they were able to actively counterattack, repel the enemy, and save the colonial residents.
As for other mutant troops who also fought bravely and made sacrifices, Xie Yuan's response was to attend a memorial service for his fellow mutants who died, and at the same time give each of them a military establishment recognized in Pan-Asia.
Finally, it was the turn of the mixed formation of Space Marines. Xie Yuan held a solemn celebration party for them, and paid a generous bonus after the meeting - for the two godsons Coze and Angron.
, it is also good to help them reduce some of the pressure on expenses.
In this way, all the credit goes to the Marines of the Star Alliance Navy, which is enough to give the Star Alliance Navy enough face - the image gain is still far greater than the pensions of a dozen Marines' families, and the victory ratio is
Any public relations image is more convincing.
Xie Yuan's private army can be considered as a formal establishment... Of course, this establishment is indeed inferior to the Star Alliance Navy's soldier establishment. It is the military status of Pan-Asian RM and JFJ, and Xie Yuan will gradually hand over the command authority later.
To Pan Asia.
But Xie Yuan does feel that handing over the troops to the public will be better for their future. Plus Xie Yuan will not leave Pan Asia in this universe, so he does not feel it is a loss... Rice bugs within the system will always be more comfortable than working alone in the wild.
too much.
As for Curze and Angron's subordinates... they are their private armies, and Xie Yuan has no power to decide their personnel.
After such operations, when Xie Yuan arrived at the Arcturus Space Station, what Xie Yuan saw was two people from Pan Asia and a disciplinary officer from the Star Alliance Navy questioning him.
Sure enough, after some reciprocal exchange of interests, the Star Alliance Navy took the initiative to suppress the parliament's desire to amplify the incident.
Does the Star Alliance Navy want the Restoration? I think, this is the first new ship that shows huge combat effectiveness. Of course the Star Alliance wants its most trusted elites to control it.
But if you want to come back, you need to achieve two things: Either remove the Recovery from the Citadel United Fleet; or let the Citadel space nominate a third human ghost.
Only by meeting these two prerequisites can the Navy obtain the Guangfu in a fair and just manner - but unfortunately, neither can be achieved in a short time.
Moreover, even the Pan-Asian part of the parliament that does not want to break away will not just watch a huge military force be lost in vain - such a clever robbery will not only completely offend Pan-Asian, but also allow alien races to discover the barriers between the two parties and try to eliminate them.
use.
By then, not to mention whether they can survive the "so-called" Reaper attack, other council races may want to get involved in the dispute between the two parties.
Then you can't even keep your old capital.
This is also something senior military officials like General Hackett and Congressman Anderson are trying to avoid - they hate separatism very much, but they also want to bridge the East and West poles that have become estranged and gradually drifted apart.
Fortunately, this is the interstellar era. Under the general environment, both parties have begun to put aside some of their grievances and gradually merged.
However, the arrival of the Reapers is very likely to make this pressure too much, and instead promote the desire of both parties to separate.
Everyone was working hard for "One". Fortunately, Xie Yuan also gave in and sent a funeral gift to the navy. The navy also suppressed the parliament's desire to control and made the incident smooth.
be ended.
The inquiry meeting was just as Xie Yuan predicted. After answering some questions about the choice of tactics in detail, it was finally judged that there was no breach of responsibility.
After the inquiry meeting, the Star Alliance Navy indeed added a reinforced battalion of heavy-armed synthetic battalions of marines. Xie Yuan did not refuse, but just led the Guangfu to leave Arcturus and go to the Jupiter shipbuilding industry in the solar system.
factory.
This time Xie Yuan wanted to apply some more diamond ablative armor - the combination of electromagnetic armor and nano-film was very successful, but ablative armor is the top protection for Asari, so it would be better to add more.
After finishing all this, Xie Yuan left the solar system with the Guangfu without stopping, and continued to wander around the boundary of the Jieshen galaxy close to the Turian territory.
The reason why he wants to leave so anxiously is because Xie Yuan just got something very interesting through Ada's intelligence network - the Illusive Man seems to have been secretly communicating with the Collector recently.
The latest news is that the Normandy has just left Heystrom - Heystrom is one of the former colonies of the Quarians, and there are a small number of unstable satellites used to observe the planet.
Unfortunately, its military value was also lost in the war with the geth.
Recent intelligence shows that Heistrom's unstable sun has entered early age and turned into a red giant sun - yes, the high-intensity radiation can even burn unshielded creatures alive.
Roasted to death.
It is not yet certain what problem Shepard's appearance solved, but the final result is that given that Ilim recruited a top killer of the Drakes, Thain, and the Asari civilization has a class similar to the European Inquisitor.
After the punishment of Samara, the old subordinate of the Normandy, information and network security expert Talizora Normandy, once again joined the new Normandy SR-2.
But then, something interesting happened. The Normandy's itinerary was predicted by the relay it passed through, and it was actually led to a galaxy in the corner of the corner.
One of the requirements that Xie Yuan set for Ada was to keep all surveillance forces focused on the Normandy. Although this was a bit expensive, even Ada had to admit that following Shepard
If you are smart and pay attention to the current affairs around her, you will always have a chance to make a fortune.
Because in the end, you can always make a small profit by taking advantage of the information gap, and the profit earned can even offset the expenses... Ada has now become very active in tracking the Normandy.
However, the Normandy was attracted to the corner area, and according to the teammate list, after completing the team collection task... Xie Yuan was a little doubtful whether the Illusive Man briefly sold the Normandy.
Of course, it is up to the Illusive Man whether to sell it or not. What Xie Yuan considered is that if the Illusive Man is willing to sell the whereabouts of the Normandy to the Collector... does that mean that the Collector's battleship is also there?
Now the Collector's warship cannot return to Omega for the time being - Relay No. 4 has assembled a patrol fleet wandering near Relay No. 4 Omega. This is the only way to an unknown star field space.
.
Of course, this method actually treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Blocking the No. 4 relay only prevents it from returning to the city through the relay, but it cannot prevent the mysterious relay from going to any star field.
Moreover, it is difficult to say that the only way for collectors to reach other realms is through the Omega 4 repeater. As long as they are willing, it is not a problem to take a long detour.
However... it is already commendable that the Citadel is willing to send people to block the Omega 4 repeater. What else can we expect them to do?
The collectors made a good calculation this time. The most direct victims are humans, and it has nothing to do with other people for the time being - if the collectors had not been confirmed to be the pioneers of the reapers, they would actually be unwilling to add a patrol fleet here.
——You must know that Omega is not far from here, and the addition of the patrol fleet will affect the gray business, which makes Elia very complaining.
Fortunately, she also knew that if she really allowed the collectors to plunder the human race, something bad might happen, so it was the right way to delay it for a while.
And now, the Normandy has entered a strange area so abruptly, saying that it has not been misled... Well, unless everyone is a fool.
However, now that he was ready to rush over, Xie Yuan also planned to do one thing before going: find some hardy helpers to break into the collector warship.
This battle is Xie Yuan's own decision, so he must be very particular about hiring people: no Marines - Xie Yuan doesn't want the Marines to die too many people and be dragged to a hearing. These guys can't afford to die.
; Nor do we want a mutant army - it would be painful if many of our own subordinates died, and it would be troublesome to replace them, not to mention having to keep an eye on the Marines, so there is no room for failure; and we cannot use Space Marines - our godson to pull up a team.
It’s not easy either. Because of my radical strategy, I lost employees, and I feel bad about it.
It is necessary to bring some military power that is worthy of death, will not cause adverse consequences, and will have no side effects if abandoned.
After much deliberation, I can only recommend the MEC series first. There are 25 white MECs and 5 red heavy-duty MECs on Xie Yuan's ship this time, and they will be brought along when the time comes.
Then there is Ciri, who can teleport back to the ship by himself when the time comes. This person is the first choice.
Who else can?
You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat, and you won't feel bad if you sacrifice, let alone suffer future troubles - Hey, Xie Yuan suddenly remembered that there are indeed some military forces in his collection that meet this requirement...
Or rather, prisoners.
Although Xie Yuan subdued the Eldar team that originally wanted to assassinate Angron as a child, it was undeniable that these people's abilities could easily kill 70% of the military forces on his ship.
The key point is that I don't feel bad about sacrificing them. I originally wanted to sell the ark ship to them in exchange for something... but now it doesn't hurt to use it in advance.
Moreover, if the Eldar, a civilization with tens of thousands of years of history, could settle down in this universe... would they be able to hide from the Reapers?
Or will he be acclimated to the local environment, and in the end would rather risk his life by the enemy, crying and shouting to return to his hometown?
Xie Yuan couldn't guess, but he had already had the idea of giving it a try.
