Looking at the list of supplies that the fat man brought over happily, Tang Lang truly understood what "people can't be rich without windfall" and why some people would rather risk their lives to become a sky pirate.
How should I put it? Not to mention the various other rare minerals, many of which Tang Lang had seen at Qingyu Military Academy, the white-haired old man had a measurement unit for the metals purified from these precious minerals.
It is calculated in kilograms, and every time I use a little bit of it on the "Xiang Yu" mecha, I grimace in distress.
But in this list, tons are used as the unit of calculation. The precious metal blue and gold, which is usually only used for exclusive weapons for high-end mechas, is as high as 800 tons. You know, that is the Southwest Federation.
The entire territory's production in the past two years, but here, is just the inventory of a relatively large air pirate gang.
Of course, it was Owen who explained it before Tang Lang knew why the Lexar Space Station had so many blue gold reserves. This was because the Dark Star Territory used blue gold coins as its currency, but those things were not like those in the ancient Blue Star era.
Banknotes are printed with a money printing machine. Every blue gold coin that enters circulation must be exchanged for real purified blue gold.
Ten grams of purified blue gold can be exchanged for one blue gold coin, one kilogram of blue gold can be exchanged for 100 blue gold coins, one ton of blue gold is actually only 100,000 blue gold coins, and 100 tons is 10 million blue gold coins. Some large gathering places must have something similar to a bank.
The blue gold reserves can be exchanged at any time. It is actually normal for a large gathering place like Lexar Space Station to have a blue gold reserve of nearly 80 million blue gold coins. Among the 922 celestial bodies where the Hebrews gather, it should also be
There are no less than 600 tons of blue gold reserves. As for the other powerful companies in the Meteor Star Territory, each of them may have no less than 400 tons of blue gold reserves.
Hearing Owen's words, the fat man almost drooled. "Boss, hurry up and strike while the iron is hot. Let's go grab some more votes from him. When we return to the Federation, we will change our mechas to blue and gold.
If you're short of money, just break it off..."
"You're so promising!" Tang Lang clicked the star tungsten on the list in a fit of laughter. "Why don't you use this thing to build mechas? There are more than ten tons of this ore!"
"Let's forget about this thing." The fat man shook his head like a rattle. "The tree is big and attracts the wind. Not to mention the lack of materials to build a mecha with this thing, I'm afraid that if I go to the battlefield with this thing, I will become a sight in everyone's eyes.
It’s so delicious, I don’t want to be that stupid BOSS who loses his equipment when he kills him!”
It seemed to make sense, Tang Lang was speechless!
All joking aside, but the huge gains made Tang Lang have enough favorable impressions of the "glorious" profession of "air pirate" for the first time. Judging from the gains from Lexa Space Station, what is waiting in the void is
The transport ship can fill most of it, and in this star field, except for the 922 celestial bodies of the Hebrews, the rest are "air pirates" and no one can steal them.
Thinking of this, Tang Lang couldn't help showing desire in his eyes and finally figured out one thing. The moment a certain old fox gave him the long list, he probably had the idea of letting him come here to be the leader of the "air pirates". If
No, even with Shen Chengfeng's thousands of men and horses, it would be impossible for them to dig out so many things even if they were exhausted.
Of course, in addition to leading this group of "air pirates" back to his old business, perhaps the old fox has other plans. For example, using continuous battles, the "independent group" that was originally composed of three or even many people
"Quickly kneaded into shape, each group of air pirates is like a big hammer, gradually tempering the unformed steel embryos of the "Independent Regiment" into refined steel; for another example, the "Independence Regiment" without parallel supplies from the federal mainland
"Regiment" can rely on war to cannibalize its opponents and strengthen itself bit by bit in this chaotic land...
Thinking of the destroyer modules supported by the Federation at all costs and the shipyards that were still in transit, Tang Lang's eyes narrowed. The Independent Regiment, an independent armed force hanging outside the territory, seemed to have more than one machine in the old fox's plan.
It's as simple as a regiment or a squadron!
If this is the case, what is the purpose of the old fox's foresight and foresight? Does he want to have a surprise force that can win the war in the future, or does he have other plans?
After all, Tang Lang was not a god. He could not figure out what the admiral with his ever-deep eyes was thinking. But he understood at least one thing now. Within a very limited time, he wanted to destroy this group that already had the designation of "Independent Regiment".
The army expanded in size and took shape, but more importantly, he wanted to firmly hold the command of this armed force in his own hands.
It is estimated that in addition to Taishan, the Dark Night 3, perhaps in future battles, one after another outstanding federal soldiers will quietly join the independent group for various reasons, which can not only help him support the increasingly large independent group,
It is also possible to turn Shen Chengfeng, who is still a dominant force at present, into the most important force in the independent group, but will no longer be the dominant force.
In the end, the only one who can stick to his word in the Independent Regiment is him, the current temporary supreme commander.
And naturally, because of Changsun Xueqing, Changsun Hong was confident enough to be able to control Tang Lang, and also control this armed force that he had spent huge manpower and material resources to build hundreds of light years away.
After thinking about this, Tang Lang, as a chess piece, was inevitably a little unhappy, but it was difficult to have enough dislike for this person, and more of it could only be admiration. His plan was logically rigorous, and it won all the hearts of the people.
Despite his human nature, it is difficult for anyone to escape from his control.
Even as a chess piece, under the command of such a super chess player, he can only follow the trend.
However, there was always a hint of stubbornness in Tang Lang's eyes. The big men used the world as a chessboard and everything in the world as chess pieces, but the little men also had to make their own struggles for their own destiny. One day, he would have to fight with them.
The brothers stand on this chessboard bounded by stars and say no to those big shots who always only see numbers.
Perhaps, at this moment, Tang Langcai seemed like a young man, with the stubbornness and pride unique to young people, and did not hope that everything he did had actually been designed by his elders.
However, no matter whether Tang Lang is willing or unwilling, at least for now, he can only be a small chess piece and more chess pieces doing what he should do under the baton of the big shots.
In addition to the large amount of seized materials that need to be transported back to the Karama planet, more surrendered air pirates need to be screened and selected. Except for Arthur and Artest who are familiar with the Lexar Space Station and can only be determined to fight with the independent group
In addition to the need for mixed personnel to participate in the screening of available personnel, the brainwave lie detector developed by Hob Roat is also widely used.
All personnel who have any dissatisfaction with the "Phoenix Army" will be discarded after being screened with clever psychological test papers and brainwave lie detectors. This is easy to understand. There is no such armed force that only focuses on increasing its strength.
Let those who are dissatisfied be added to it.
But it was an extremely huge task to identify nearly 2,000 mecha masters who wanted to join the "Phoenix Legion". However, with the arrival of an episode, the situation changed.
Tang Lang refused to accept all Jiepen people in Lexar Space Station.
The two elite mecha platoons that followed Kei Higashino into the Lexar Space Station had almost no surrenders. They were very strong, but under siege by a force several times their size, they were all ruthlessly killed. However, there were all kinds of people in the Lexar Space Station.
There are all of them. People with the characteristics of the Eastern ethnic groups on the ancient Blue Star account for at least more than 30%. There are at least thousands of Jiepen people, and there are many high-level mecha masters among them.
But with Tang Lang's order, all the Jiepen people were excluded. Whether they truly surrendered or just superficially surrendered, all the Jiepen people became the first group to be completely abandoned under Tang Lang's order.
crowd. And they were ordered not to continue living on the Lexar Space Station, and were eventually moved collectively to the mining star. However, the treatment was slightly better than that of the air pirates who were judged to enter the mining star for mining. At least they could exchange minerals at market prices.
Living supplies and are eligible to build your own town!
Some people wanted to resist, but were mercilessly killed by the law enforcers. In the end, these Jiepen people had no choice but to give in and were transported by a starship along with their few possessions to a mining star a light-year away from here.
At the same time, the people of the Great Eagle Empire and its allies received similar treatment. After killing dozens of resisters, more than 100,000 people left their homes in mourning and went to live in the desolate mining star.
There, it will take them decades or even longer to build a town that represents modern civilization.
Perhaps, only the Federation within the Independent Regiment and a few senior leaders of the Independent Regiment know the real reason why Tang Lang did this. In the near future, the Federation will go to war with the Jiepen Empire, and the Independent Regiment does not know when it will enter the battlefield. No matter what, the Federation will go to war with the Jiepen Empire.
Will the loyal Jipeng people still be firm with their guns when facing their former tribesmen? By doing this, Tang Lang naturally nipped all possible hidden dangers in the bud.
Although some air pirates who surrendered were puzzled by Tang Lang's approach, few people criticized this arrangement. If it were them who won the war, these guys they looked down upon would not have spent much money.
The starship sent them to the mining star, so it would be the easiest thing to just kill them all.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit" is nothing more than that.
But Tang Lang's ruthless method of throwing hundreds of thousands of people onto the mining planet still greatly shocked the original personnel of the Lexar Space Station. From the perspective of them who had enjoyed the prosperity of the space station, they suddenly felt that
It would be better to die if the relatively civilized space age suddenly returns to the desolate planet surface.
Of course, that's because they haven't really faced death yet. When death comes, many people's thinking will immediately change to "it's better to die than to live." Digging soil on the surface of the planet is worse than being buried in the soil. More!
What was originally a method of eliminating hidden dangers turned into a thunderous deterrent. This was somewhat beyond Tang Lang's expectation, but it made the process of selecting people much easier.
If you don’t really want to join the independent group or have ulterior motives, you basically don’t dare to squeeze in. If the new and old general throws mineral stars into it, you and your family will be in trouble.
