For Qu Jianlei, he didn't like the next month at all.
Although he still came out for inspection every three days as usual, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But that was just calm on the surface. In fact, he didn't dare to relax at all and was ready to fight at any time.
He likes to take the initiative to solve problems, but during this period of time, he can only wait passively, let alone show anxiety.
In order to ensure that he could fight at any time, he did not even set up a spirit gathering array, so as not to have time to deal with it when the time came.
This kind of suffering made him extremely irritable, and he really seemed to be waiting for the verdict.
It was not until a month later that his worries gradually began to subside, and the empire's fleet to capture him never showed up.
With such a long time, let alone the military dispatching troops to besiege him, it would be enough to carefully plan a sneak attack against him.
However, on this day, the high imitation warship 3344, which was quietly cruising outside, sent a message.
Two warships are sailing towards Godli. Although they are not painted, they are undoubtedly standard warships.
Accompanying the standard warship is a heavily loaded armed merchant ship - judging from the appearance, it should be the ship used by Wanmi Mining to transport cargo.
Qu Jianlei did not dare to neglect, and immediately opened the shipyard, drove out the tattered 8384, and also released the attack ship to stand by.
Wanmi Mine noticed this unusual behavior, and Dake immediately contacted Qu Jianlei and asked what happened.
Qu Jianlei did not answer directly, but said, "Tell Li Ang that he had better remember his promise."
The next moment, Li Ang took over the intercom, "I'm Li Ang. Something happened just now. What happened?"
Qu Jianlei did not hide anything from the other party and explained the situation again.
The two warships are currently in a state where they can attack the ground fortress of Wanmi Mine at any time.
Li Ang was also shocked when he heard this. He swore that Wan Mi would never take action against his collaborators and asked him to give him some time.
Twenty minutes later, he connected to ship 8384 again and said that he had figured it out and that the three starships that came had no malicious intent.
How could Qu Jianlei believe this? Both 8384 and the attack ship remained in the air.
However, the mine's ground fortress did not respond much, except that the defensive personnel were in place and the protective shield was ready to be opened.
However, this is a standard measure in the mine. A starship is about to appear. No matter who it is, you must be prepared to deal with it.
More than two hours later, three starships appeared.
Because Li Ang communicated in advance, the three starships were not surprised that the two battleships were floating in the air, but landed without hesitation.
The other party had no intention of taking action. Of course, Qu Jianlei would not take the initiative to provoke, and also controlled the two starships to land.
This time, Supreme Gothel of Wanmi Mining came again and was the first to step off the starship.
Qu Jianlei walked out of 8384 with the identity of "Rhodiola", and his body had the aura of rock armor.
This attitude is very obvious. He is very wary of the sudden arrival of two standard warships.
When Gothel saw this, he could only smile bitterly in return, "Your Excellency's attitude is not very friendly."
Qu Jianlei answered very simply, "I don't like uninvited guests."
The logic is obvious. Wanmi Mining could have communicated with the mine in advance, but it did not inform them that a warship was coming.
This is why Gothel smiled bitterly: The two warships asked him to keep it secret!
One of the two warships is from the transit star's garrison, and the other is from the anti-smuggling department. The garrison chose an unpainted warship to dilute the military's color, which means that the military will only have limited intervention.
The warships of the Anti-Smuggling Department are not painted, and the reason is very simple. This is the car of the boss of the Anti-Smuggling Department.
Normally, the warships of the Anti-Smuggling Department must be painted, but the identity of the boss is too sensitive.
It must be admitted that although the Anti-Smuggling Department has many hidden smugglers, their existence has indeed made smuggling more serious.
reduce.
In this way, offending people is inevitable, and there are many daring people among smugglers.
In any case, the Anti-Smuggling Department and the military came together to definitely solve the problems left over from that battle.
As for why we sought the supreme escort from Wanmi Mining, it was because we were worried that things would get out of hand.
But when they found Wan Mi, they asked him not to reveal the operation.
Wanmi Mining also knew what these two companies were thinking and directly sent Gothel, who had been in contact with Rhodiola rosea.
Gothel is not stupid, and he knows that the negotiation is most likely to be true, but the two parties are still a little unwilling.
So they planned to descend on Godley suddenly, catch the other side off guard, and see how the other side would react.
If the opponent is really unbearable, it is possible to have a fight. After all, in the asteroid belt, the louder the fist, the louder the sound.
Even if you don't fight, you can still take some initiative in negotiations if you go there with this kind of momentum.
Don't underestimate this initiative. Gothel can guess that these two families have probably not drawn a bottom line so far.
There is no way, this partner of my own is too mysterious, and it is impossible to judge the true strength.
Even the employer, the Saier Consortium, doesn't know the details of this force, let alone outsiders.
In any case, they came here with the intention of gaining a head start!
Gothel wanted to get this, but he couldn't do more... Notify Wanmi Mine privately? That's absolutely impossible!
The army is the empire's most powerful war machine, and even the military is involved. This kind of thing is simply not something that a consortium can handle.
Therefore, Gothel can only execute according to the other party's requirements.
Finally, it was okay, because he agreed to this request, and the two families also said that you just need to coordinate in the middle, and we won't make it difficult for you.
Faced with Rhodiola's accusations, Gothel was unable to explain too much, so he could only express it simply.
"I just want to be a witness. Wanmi has no position on this matter, but... I hope we won't take action here."
Qu Jianlei was startled when he heard this, and then smiled disapprovingly.
"That's it. I really didn't expect that people from the military and the anti-smuggling department are so afraid of death!"
The military leader was an A-level earth attribute person. Hearing this, he couldn't help but asked, "Are you insulting the military?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at him indifferently, "Little A-level, who gave you the courage to talk to the Supreme like this?"
The earth attribute A-level's face changed when he heard this, "Sir, although I am only A-level, the honor of the army cannot be insulted!"
The Supreme Being cannot be insulted, this is the rule of the empire, but this time he represents the military and cannot be weak.
Qu Jianlei was not surprised, but rather touched.
He had seen and killed military A-levels, but at that time, he could only rely on sneak attacks.
Back in the Hope Star Territory, he was not far from Supreme Dencis in the Third War Zone, but he was too lazy to show up.
Now, he can directly scold the opponent for being A-level brave, which shows that the growth in strength is the real source of confidence.
Then he looked at the people from the Anti-Smuggling Department, "They actually sent a Supreme Being here... Are you planning a sneak attack?"
That's right, this time the leader of the anti-smuggling department is actually a supreme leader.
To say that there are about ten or twenty of the Imperial Anti-Smuggling Department, but averaged over each star field, there are not many.
For example, the Anti-Smuggling Department of the Hope Star Territory only has one Supreme Commander, and he often disappears. Therefore, the Anti-Smuggling Department of the Skyhook Star Territory can send a Supreme Commander, which is enough to prove that they attach great importance to this matter.
The supreme leader was named Sharif. Faced with his provocation, he said calmly, "There is no sneak attack. I am here to represent the importance of the Anti-Smuggling Department. The Anti-Smuggling Department is never something everyone rubs against!"
You're right, the military didn't even send the Supreme Commander here, and it seemed like they really didn't intend to fight a tough battle.
However things are not that simple.
Out of nowhere
If you want to make a sneak attack, it is not difficult to kill a supreme with two warships and one supreme.
It is a pity that Gothel of Wanmi Mining does not intend to cooperate, otherwise the probability will greatly increase.
Qu Jianlei looked at him with a strange expression, "You have the highest fire attribute, who gave you the courage to speak like this?"
When fighting in space, the most powerful thing is to fight for equipment, and the most powerful person can fight physically, but... the chain of discrimination exists objectively.
The ones with combat power bonuses are gold and water. The earth attribute is not bad either, but the fire attribute is more awkward. The worst is the wood attribute.
What Qu Jianlei stated was the truth. He showed his earthly nature and was qualified to discriminate against the other party.
His standards of words and deeds are based on Qinghu, and he doesn't feel that his tone is too harsh.
Upon hearing this, Sharif said calmly, "Are you planning to touch it?" In fact, he was so annoyed that he didn't even bother to call him "Your Excellency" and directly asked the other party if he dared.
"Then come," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "It's a distinction between superiority and inferiority, as well as life and death. I'm not looking down on you... How dare you?"
Sharif was speechless after hearing this. He was here to maintain the dignity of the Anti-Smuggling Department, and he was mentally prepared for a fierce fight.
But he really didn't dare to challenge him to a one-on-one fight to decide life and death. The reason was very simple... he couldn't beat him!
Apart from anything else, he couldn't beat Sigvar who died in the opponent's hands, let alone the one on the other side who killed Sigvar?
However, he had no choice but to come. The face of the Anti-Smuggling Department was involved and he had to protect it.
It's strange to say that the Anti-Smuggling Department is not good at space warfare, so why did he come to the Skyhook Star Territory to patrol?
Sharif was speechless. Seeing that the situation was not good, the military's A-class came to the rescue, "Sir, we are here to solve the problem."
Qu Jianlei snorted coldly when he heard this, "How do I feel that you are here to solve the people who caused the problem?"
We do have such a plan! The military level A said calmly, "If you can solve the problem, why solve the person?"
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, "When you speak like this, can I think that you are threatening me?"
In fact, he is not that aggressive as a person, but doesn't he know how to speak? He just learned Qing Hu's tricks.
However, although the A-level military officers are strong-willed, they will not make decisions on this matter. He shook his head slightly and said, "The military is here just to express support for the anti-smuggling department. After all, we are a government system."
"Seriousness is the power of adults. No one can tell what is going on."
"We really want to know that your Excellency openly attacked the Anti-Smuggling Department's fleet near the Smurf Star... How should this be calculated?"
