Chapter 74: Caught

The farce at Airport No. 15 came to an end silently.

Tens of thousands of Chakna officers and soldiers watched the unconscious Salmon being carried off, and also watched Carolina and a group of Feiyang officers leave with sinking faces and angrily. What made them talk endlessly and marveled most was that they actually

When he saw the fat Major General Nalele, he followed behind Carolina.

Along the way, this guy shook hands with all the Feiyan officers and greeted him diligently. It seemed that the one who had just hit had nothing to do with him. Most of the Feiyan officers shook hands with him stiffly, but when he met two of them, they glared at him regardless of their demeanor.

The fat man also smiled honestly and looked magnanimous.

No matter how acute the conflict is, this is not the time to turn against each other.

Both the Feiyang people and the Chakna people knew this very well. Samon, who was beaten almost to death, was sent back to Feiyang on the ship before he could recover from his injuries.

Zhang Pengcheng didn’t mention it, and neither did Carolina.

The two sides each issued a gag order on what to do and what to do. Joint actual combat exercises, joint deductions between headquarters, defense plans and deployments, official documents and supplies exchanged, instructions uploaded and issued... On the surface, everything seemed to be back to normal.

However, everyone knows that beneath this calm normalcy, there are undercurrents.

The day after Zhang Pengcheng returned to the base, he reported the entire incident to the Chakna Military Headquarters.

This report naturally triggered an earthquake in the Chakna Military Department. President Chakna personally came forward to meet with Ambassador Feiyang for negotiation. The military departments of both sides even conducted face-to-face communication with coordination groups composed of senior generals.

Consultation.

The final outcome of the negotiations is unknown, but the Chakna officers and soldiers saw the satisfied look on General Zhang Pengcheng's face after receiving the news of the return of the military headquarters. They knew that this time, the Feiyang Republic must be bleeding heavily!

However, what everyone doesn't know is that this time, besides Chakna, there is also General Bernadotte of Leray who is satisfied. As the top general of the third party in the battle, he just got the report from the fat man.

After that, I walked around the joint command headquarters and President Chakna's office for a few times. I called President Feiyan and got some benefits!

Of course, these "some" are enough to make Bernadotte and Flavio hide in the office and laugh all day long.

Now that an agreement has been reached, the Feyan Republic and the Chakna Republic naturally kept the truth of the matter secret, and instead rushed to get ahead of Xiyo and trumpeted the victory of this battle.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, all the video materials were carefully selected and compiled into a special feature.

When this topic of a severely damaged fleet finally toying with the enemy with a Lu Ze growth formation and annihilating one and a half enemy fleets spread throughout the human world, you can imagine how big a ripple it would cause.

Everyone in the Fiyan Alliance is excited and the talk in the streets is about this miraculous victory. However, Western York, especially the Sus Empire, has lost face. They released a video of the Feyan Republic fleet betraying the Chakna fleet.

, was ridiculed as a fig leaf under Feiyang and Chakna's joint statement. Emperor O'Brady III kicked down the table in the palace at that time.

The officers and soldiers of Chakna let out a fierce breath. Everyone knew that all this was due to Major General Lelei. Until a few days later, the officers and soldiers of Chakna were still talking about Major General Lelei.

That mouthful of spit. When it comes to the intense part, everyone's eyebrows are dancing with joy, as if it is the most exciting and most exhilarating scene I have ever seen in my life.

All the Chakna officers and soldiers only had the word "submit" for Major General Le Lei, who had no soldiers. When they met on weekdays, they would always pay tribute with a smile. In addition, the fat man himself was a Chakna tribesman with black hair and eyes.

, in their hearts, everyone in the fleet of the Twelve Groups regarded Fatty as one of their own.

The Feiyang people, who have always been arrogant and arrogant, seem to be a lot silent from top to bottom. In addition to training, they are engaged in ship maintenance and routine outbound patrols. They rarely leave the base. Occasionally, I see a few Feiyang people in the bar outside the base.

The Yang officers and soldiers also quietly stayed away from the crowd, forming a sharp contrast with the laughing Chakna people.

The contrast between the movements and silences of the two armies is sharp. When their eyes meet, everyone can feel the tense emotions between them. However, the top management has repeatedly issued prohibitions, and both sides deliberately maintain distance and restraint.

.

The war is still going on without stopping for a moment.

In the central theater, the Naga Federation and the Lane Republic, two sworn enemy neighbors for many years, have used all their strength. The Feyan Republic's military operations in the Carlston Galaxy and the Chakna Republic's military operations in the Lesk Galaxy are also gradually intensifying.

Battles of all sizes were fought one after another. News reports of victory continued one after another, but the lists of fallen soldiers on the bulletin board were getting denser and denser.

In Mars Freeport, where the faction war has ended, social order has returned to normal.

In this world exiled from mainstream human society, the forest law of the jungle has brought about not only bloody battles, but also strong vitality. Despite the almost crazy destruction by the Northern Alliance, when everything returned to calm,

The people of Mars suddenly popped up from all over the place like mushrooms after a rain, and started their new life on the ruins.

As merchant ships and smuggling ships in the free shipping lanes arrived in Mars Port one after another, the area around the ground port first became lively. People exchanged various things for the first batch of food and supplies to arrive in several months.

A spontaneous market for daily necessities was formed almost instantly.

Major companies also started resuming production after the raw materials transported by the corporate fleet arrived. Smugglers and border breakers quickly found their place, exchanged information with each other, and found out where their smuggling ships could pass.

Line. The free port is in dire need. The supplies organized by the business groups from all over the universe are sold out almost as soon as they arrive at the port. The role of mercenaries has also increased.

The only ones who are having a hard time are probably pirates and violent societies.

With the entry of the Fiyan Alliance forces, the violent associations attached to the major factions have almost no room for survival. The previous ruling pattern of the factions has been broken. Now it is the Feiyang people who make the rules. The people patrolling the streets are also Feiyang people.

Yang and Chuckner soldiers. No group dares to feel uncomfortable in front of these armed soldiers with cold eyes and the ferocious military mechas beside them. Although secretly, there are still some forced buying and selling, and some threats and intimidation, but openly

There is no trace of the unscrupulous robbery.

The pirate group is even more miserable. The main defensive area of ​​the Feiyang and Chakna fleets is the A-class channel leading from Mars Freeport to the main channel. Hundreds of warships cruise on these channels, with various jumping points

, are tightly guarded, and every ship passing by must undergo hull scanning and boarding inspection. Robbery in these star areas is simply courting death.

Don’t dare to stay in the A-level waterways, B-level, C-level and D-level channels, and the pirates don’t even dare to stay in the B-level waterways!

If we can say that as long as we keep a respectful distance from the regular fleet of the Fiji Alliance, do not feel uncomfortable under others' noses, and can still ensure safety, then the "Broken Ghost" fleet wandering in the free channel of Mars is simply a piece of cake.

The reminder will be attached to them when they know when.

Since the beginning of the faction war, this fleet has not stopped their actions.

Not only did they rob business groups and smugglers, leaving the pirates with no food to eat, they also attacked any pirate fleet that appeared in their sight. So far, more than twenty pirate groups, large and small, have encountered the Broken Ghost Fleet.

He was later removed from the list of the Mars Pirates. With this ghost fleet that was familiar with the Mars waterway and wandering around, the pirates would even hang out in front of their homes and ask for worship, let alone private plunder.

This day is obviously impossible to survive. Many pirate groups have changed their minds and started doing business.

Unlike during the faction wars, doing business now can still make a profit and is guaranteed.

After countless space stations in the Mars Free Channel and the Free Dock were captured by the "Broken Ghost" fleet, but eventually fell into the control of the bandits, everyone understood the relationship between this fleet and the bandits in Protown. Therefore, when one day, everyone

No one was surprised when they found out that they could buy passes in Protown and in the space stations and free docks controlled by the bandits.

The pass is charged according to the type of ship, type and quantity of cargo. The average fee is 20%.

If it were in mainstream human society, such a high cost would be enough to drive people crazy, but in the free world of Mars, for corporate fleets and merchant fleets whose profits often reach hundreds or even thousands of percent, this would not even matter.

Nothing. They were even secretly happy that the bandits were willing to charge such a fee.

Facts have proved that businessmen always have sharp eyesight. Not only does the fleet with the pass have complete unimpeded access to the Mars Free Channel, but it also has no access to supplies and maintenance at the free dock or transactions on the space station.

Any trouble. Some fleets, after encountering the "Broken Ghost", actually enjoyed the excellent service of this broken fleet - escort.

The captain of the first merchant ship to encounter the "Broken Ghost" fleet anxiously sent an electronic pass and saw the broken warships viciously surrounding the transport ship, slowly transforming into an escort formation, and greeting him, and he was literally in tears.

Manmian. From hell to heaven was so exciting that he couldn't stand it.

There was once a group of blind pirates who robbed a fleet of merchants who had purchased a pass. However, within two days, the pirates were wiped out. All the goods were returned to the owners intact.

This incident made the fleet, like crucian carp crossing the river, crossing the free channel understand who is the master in this star field.

The Mars Channel is like a large distribution market. Its buyers are not only business groups such as the Mars Channel, but also all over the surrounding areas, including Chakna, Suss, Jeppon, and Salega.

The entire southeastern star region including Lelei, Tartania, Puditok, and Dexik. In addition to the above countries, there are also neutral countries further north and west that provide sources of goods for this market.

When a valve is installed on the flow of goods in such a market, you can imagine how much money flowed into the pockets of the bandits.

Feiyang, Chakna, Bandit Army.

These are the three largest forces that dominate Mars Freeport. The life of every Mars person is affected by these three forces. People will always pay attention to the subtle changes among them.

The Soos people's spying on this star field; the establishment of the Mars ruling system; the apparent incompatibility of the Chakna and Feiyang people; the collective disappearance of the factions and forces that the Puluo Town bandit army joined together. Released by the Mars Front of the Fei Alliance

The announcement of the genre certification and the organization of the genre mecha competition. As well as the Tailiu and Juesha flows, which people originally thought had been unable to stand up, reappeared in a grand manner... All of these have become Ma

A topic that people talk about every day.

From these topics, people can get a glimpse of the complex situation of Mars at this moment that is incomprehensible.

The light rain hazy covered the sky. The gray clouds could not be distinguished at all, just a vast gray cloud.

On Brown Street in the central city of Mars, simple shelves stretch across the entire block. On the shelves, rainproof awnings are set up with raincloths or wooden boards. There are several shelves, and even some are made of light materials picked up.

Bulletproof walls are used to protect the rain. There are various things on the shelves. They are daily necessities newly shipped to Mars, and there are also a small number of various things such as mecha parts, antiques, etc. These are all Mars.

It was left behind by the civilians of Ers when they came here to exchange for food.

The market was bustling with people coming and going. The rain seemed to have no impact on the place at all. The goods owners, who were already relatively well-off, stood reservedly behind the shelves, bargaining with hesitant customers. On the ruins of the ruins, dripping

The falling raindrops pitter-pattered into the small puddles on the street. The street was crowded with people, and the accumulated water on the ground kept splashing under people's feet. From time to time, someone came closer with something in their arms.

After asking a few questions, he left frustrated.

Most of the buildings on both sides of Brown Street are incomplete. The flowing rainwater seems to have coated the ruins with a light film. Even the brick piles and ruins in the block have been washed away clean. At the crossroads of the block

At the entrance, there is only one relatively intact gray eight-story building. It was originally the site of a bank, and now it has the name of Mars Free Exchange. This is also the most prosperous place in this temporary market.

.

The former Mars Free Trading Center no longer exists. However, as one of the symbols of the free world of Mars, the exchange reopened immediately after the faction war ended. Although it is simple, the current trading

There are more commodities, materials and various information scrolling on the trading screen than in previous trading centers.

At the entrance of the exchange, several men in thin clothes, with their chests radiating steaming heat open, worked together to unload the last micro container from the heavy truck and put it on the porch in front of the exchange's entrance.
