News of the armistice spread to every corner of the universe at the speed of its own wormhole, and even isolated places like Planet 4 received the news.
The two sides agreed to cease fire across the board at the same time and launch armistice negotiations to determine the aftermath. Although the news was vague, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the war started by the Federation and the Federation took the initiative to propose a ceasefire would be the dominant side of the Tang Dynasty.
After receiving the news, Chu Jungui, who was building a starship, put down his work and returned to the orbital platform. In the office, Li Ruobai was looking through the latest battle reports and news.
"Is there a truce?" Chu Jungui asked.
"It's just in name. It's just a temporary ceasefire. The two sides are starting to negotiate. If they can't reach an agreement, they may continue to fight at any time. Even if they finally reach an agreement, they will probably have to fight several times in the middle. If we don't understand it, how can we negotiate it clearly?
"Li Ruobai saw clearly.
Chu Jungui received the battle report, scanned all the content in an instant, and had a clear understanding of the situation. The dynasty's vertical line plan was a great success, and they firmly controlled the landing site galaxy and fortified one of its satellites. From here
Jumping, it can attack 12 manned star systems in the Federation within a radius of 30 light years, including 2 important regional colonial systems and 6 industrial stars.
In this way, the dynasty has taken the strategic initiative and can threaten many key points in the hinterland of the Federation at any time. The Federation must deploy heavy troops for confrontation in the surrounding areas, so that a large number of mobile troops can be firmly contained.
In the N77 star field, the rest of the Ninth Fleet persisted much longer than expected, and the Federation's losses were twice as high as expected. The battle loss ratio was completely unacceptable. Even if the main fleet was mobilized to force the Ninth Fleet back, it would be
It doesn't help. In this case, the Federation has to return to the negotiating table.
Li Ruobai was waiting for Chu Jungui to read the battle report and said, "What are your thoughts?"
"Are we safe?"
"Of course not." Li Ruobai smiled and said: "The agreement is just an agreement, it has no binding force at all. If there is, it is only for the main fleets of both sides. Many legions in the Federation are private armies and are not very popular.
Constrained by the federal central government. They are unlikely to openly violate the ceasefire agreement, but they will not strictly abide by it. To put it bluntly, they will find every possible way to test their opponents' weaknesses, including low-intensity wars. You
do you understand?"
"In other words, this agreement cannot guarantee our safety?"
"Guarantee? Of course there is no guarantee. Even if a formal agreement is signed, it cannot guarantee our safety. The agreement only protects the official forces of the dynasty and the federation, and our nature is a registered mercenary organization. Oh, we have not registered yet. Okay.
Well, then our nature is almost the same as that of star thieves, the only difference is probably that we will not be wanted by the dynasty, that's all."
"Is it unsafe?" Chu Jungui frowned slightly and began to seriously think about where the danger came from. The best safety guarantee is to eliminate all sources of danger.
Li Ruobai knew Chu Jungui very well at this time, and with a smile on his lips, he said: "Don't worry, I'm already making preparations. I will send the message out when the next communication window opens, and let people help us collect the surrounding information.
Source of risk."
"As soon as possible." Chu Jungui said seriously.
At this time, a flashing light lit up in the deep sky in the distance, which was the signal of optical communication. Then a high-speed shuttle appeared and slowly docked at the orbital station.
This is a small boat with only a dozen crew members, usually used for emergency communications. Zhao Jingsi walked out of the shuttle boat and was brought to Chu Jungui.
Zhao Jingsi paid a military salute to Chu Jungui and said: "The colonel sent me here to inform you of a piece of information. Because the war between the two sides has stopped, the colonel decided to lead the fleet back to build and will leave with the mobile base in 24 hours.
.The defense here will be taken over by the Fourth Fleet. Because of time constraints, the colonel did not have time to say goodbye in person, so he specially sent me to say goodbye to you."
Somehow, Chu Jungui felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. However, he had the ability to perfectly control his emotions, and his face was as calm as if nothing had happened.
Li Ruobai shrugged and said, "That's great. I don't know when we will meet again."
Zhao Jingsi looked at Chu Jungui with a complicated expression. He definitely didn't like the man in front of him, but he couldn't hate him either, and he even admired him. He knew very well that it was the man in front of him who behaved seemingly absurdly again and again.
and design, turning the tide of the war bit by bit.
He also watched with his own eyes how Chu Jungui built an orbital station from scratch, from a charging station to a starship factory. In front of this man, it seemed that miracles just came at his fingertips.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Jingsi gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please help the colonel!"
Li Ruobai was taken aback, grabbed Zhao Jingsi, and shouted: "What's wrong with Sister Xi?!"
Chu Jungui gently pressed down Li Ruobai's hand and asked, "What's going on?"
"I heard that the colonel will be transferred and reviewed as soon as she returns. The content is whether she has committed treason on the front line."
Li Ruobai frowned, "Is the news true?"
"This was revealed to me by a very good friend of mine in the gendarmerie. He couldn't stand some of the behavior above. It is said that the head of the gendarmerie department did not advocate review this time, but the report had already been submitted to the above for review.
The program has been started, and there is nothing he can do."
Chu Jungui looked at Li Ruobai and asked, "Is it serious?"
Li Ruobai frowned and said, "It's a bit serious..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Jungui turned around and left.
"Jun Gui, what are you doing?"
Chu Jungui turned around and said, "Go and knock down the mobile base and rob people."
Not only Zhao Jingsi was shocked, but Li Ruobai was also taken aback and hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive!"
Chu Jungui said calmly: "I am not impulsive, and the mobile base is not difficult to attack. If I rob someone and leave, the battleship will probably not have time to react. As for other starships, they are probably no match for me."
Li Ruobai covered his face and said: "Sister Xi didn't commit treason in the first place, but she became treason after you did this! Jun Gui, are you addicted to robbing? Can you stop thinking about robbing everything?"
"Didn't you say it was very serious?"
"It's a little bit, not very!" Li Ruobai raised his voice and stopped in front of Chu Jungui to prevent him from actually driving the starship.
"Jun Gui, listen to me. Once this kind of review is started, it will not stop halfway, because only when there is conclusive evidence, a special review will be started. In addition, Sister Xi is a member of the Lin family, and you are not the current domestic situation.
I don’t know, but people from the Lin family have been being targeted. You have to know that the Lin family has been working in the military for hundreds of years. While its power is deep, it also means there are many enemies."
"I understand, it is indeed very serious." Chu Jungui carried Li Ruobai aside and strode towards the starship.
