Mecha and Knife

Ji Xinghe's order shocked everyone who heard the news.

Including Xie Rui, the captain of the space battleship Peace, he was happily returning with the independent regiment that had won a complete victory, as well as a large number of marquis armor captured by the independent regiment. Suddenly, he received an order to capture/destroy a Federation Spaceship orders.

Old man, are you going to turn against me at last?

Can't.

The shocked Xie Rui ordered to change the course without any hesitation, and informed the relevant personnel of the independent regiment who were on the Safety, and in the process, he also understood why he received such an order.

"Damn it, how dare you snatch the spoils of our independent regiment? It's just against the sky."

The pursuit officially begins.

It was precisely because the space battleship Ping An suddenly changed its course that the Nantianmen Command knew the cause and effect, and they were all shocked.

As for how much is pretended, only those people know.

"Is the Trident crazy?" Lieutenant General Davis said angrily in the command center: "Contact me with the spaceship of the Trident immediately, and let them immediately send the loot of the Independent Regiment to Base No. 6."

"Report, Trident said that they have received an order to transport the relevant spoils to Base Nine."

Davis frowned: "Who gave the order?"

"Department of Defense Equipment."

"..." Davis took a deep breath: "Get me the commander-in-chief."

"yes."

This matter is obviously beyond the purview of the lieutenant general Davis, even if he is the rotating commander of the command center of the Nantianmen Command. Because the National Defense Equipment Department is no worse than the Nantianmen Command in terms of level, from a certain point of view, the National Defense Equipment Department is more powerful than the Nantianmen Command.

Because they are in charge of all the weapons and equipment of the federal military, including but not limited to procurement, production, research and development, and sales.

While waiting for the communication to connect, Davis felt that he had figured out the problem.

Although the Ministry of National Defense Equipment of the Federation had the power to 'sell' before, who did it sell to? After the mercenary system was launched, it was different. The security companies formed by various capitals became customers of the Ministry of National Defense Equipment.

According to the information obtained by Davis, up to now, the Ministry of National Defense Equipment has achieved trillions of "sales" through this system, and the profits are even more exaggerated.

Just looking at the number of mechas owned by the mercenary regiments, you can understand one or two. There are more than 3,000 regular-level standard mechas, and the average unit price cost is not more than 80 million in the military report. Can it sell for more than 700 billion?

This is just the beginning, because if the mecha is going to participate in the war, it will definitely be damaged, and the parts for repairing the mecha are more expensive, and there is no other place to buy it. The Federation only has this one.

There is a ten-fold difference in odds ratio, can you believe it?

Regardless of whether the security companies dare to believe it or not, they have to buy it, as long as they want to profit from this war.

And the large amount of money they paid also eased the problem of insufficient military spending by the federal military.

The Federation's military spending has always been insufficient. Even though the Federation's annual gross product has already exceeded one trillion yuan, and there is an annual military spending quota of more than ten trillion yuan, it still can't hold back the firepower that is king.

As for this battle, the Nantianmen Command's fire support to the second theater used a quota of hundreds of billions. If you fight like this a hundred times, it may not be enough to fill in all the military expenses for a year.

Of course, the Federation is very willing to fight this way a hundred times, and they are also willing to fight a thousand times, because the independent group is too good at fighting, in other words, it is too profitable, invest 100 billion, and multiply it for you Earn it back, who wouldn't?

Accounts cannot be considered partial.

For example, the value of the spoils captured in the Gods Mountain theater in this battle is far less than the sacrifice and loss. If you want to calculate the economic account, it is equivalent to a loss of hundreds of billions in this business.

Not counting these economic accounts, just counting the survival and training of millions of people on Alien Planet, the daily expenditure is an astronomical figure.

Therefore, the use of the mercenary system does have a sense of relieving the urgent need.

But now the mercenary regiment has been disabled, and more than half of it has been lost. Although the military can be 'not responsible', if it can't be resolved, then this urgent business can't be done in the future.

Davis, who was thinking about this in his heart, had already thought of his speech when Ivanovic connected to the communication.

"General Ji will really knock down that spaceship, just like breaking General Tu Yuan's leg before."

Davis did not settle economic accounts, nor did he give Ivanovic the opportunity to calculate economic accounts. He calculated another kind of 'account' for Ivanovic.

"Commander, you don't want to see General Ji give up his general title, do you?"

Giving up the general title means leaving completely. Whether it is becoming a mercenary organization, or supporting soldiers to stand on their own...

It is indeed not what Ivanovic wants to see, not now, nor before.

But his expression and tone were very helpless.

"Davis, I have always been very optimistic about you. I have been very fond of you since you were under Ken Weiss. At that time, you were the commander of the Western Theater, and the relationship with the Eastern Theater was very good."

Ivanovic is from Xiongzhou, and the main force in the eastern theater of Battle Scar Canyon is also from Xiongzhou. Naturally, Ivanovic is under the attention of Ivanovic, so this praise is sincere.

"But." Ivanovic changed the subject: "You are indeed not as good as Tang Qiao."

"kindness?"

"If it was Tang Qiao, he would not come to me, because he knows that when this kind of thing happens, there is nothing I can do."

"ah?"

Ivanovic hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I know you have a good relationship with General Ji, you can tell him directly now that some people just want to force him to destroy the spaceship, or use other methods The way to capture that spaceship that will never stop."

Davis frowned even more, he understood what Ivanovic meant.

Destroying that spacecraft is easy to explain. This is completely different from the nature of Ji Xinghe destroying that spacecraft when he was in Azure Star, and the consequences will naturally be completely different.

And to capture that spaceship by other means...

Davis thought about the unimaginable breakthroughs in the battle report information of the second theater, and finally realized that Ivanovic really couldn't stop it.

The only person who can stop this matter is Ji Xinghe himself.

He had thought that Ji Xinghe would have many, big troubles before, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, obviously he was prepared for it.

"Okay, then I'll contact General Ji."

Before the communication here was hung up, Davis asked someone to pick up Ji Xinghe's communication.

The first sentence he opened his mouth was: "Old man, the matter is not as simple as you think, it is very complicated, please tell the Ping An to stop firing first, listen to me..."

Ivanovic is a little speechless, in front of me is General Ji, and in a blink of an eye is the old man?

It's too fake.

It's no wonder that some people use this method to suppress Ji Xinghe.

Ivanovic's slander is not over yet, and before Davis can finish speaking, Ji Xinghe's voice has already sounded.

"I authorize the Ping An to open fire freely."

"???"

"!!!"

Davis looked in horror at the information icon that was tracking the Heian space battleship, so he saw a scene that made him even more terrified.

The space battleship Heian really fired.

The space battleship Ping An is very fast, and it is not fully loaded. In contrast, the small spaceship that snatched the spoils of the independent regiment is already fully loaded.

So not long after both parties ascended into space, the Ping An had successfully caught up with the Trident Security Company's spaceship.

Needless to say, the process of shouting, a spaceship with a special mission, even the orders from the Nantianmen Command can be ignored, let alone the shouting of the Ping An?

After the communication failed, Xie Rui applied to Ji Xinghe for authorization to fire. This application was in compliance with the rules and regulations, because the space battleship Ping An belonged to the second theater, and the commander of the second theater was Ji Xinghe.

As for whether Ji Xinghe's orders and authorizations comply with the relevant rules and regulations, that is not something that Xie Rui needs to consider. irrelevant.

Just execute the command.

Without any accidents, how can a spaceship with almost no weapons configuration be able to block the attack launched by the Federation's main space battleship Heian?

Maybe he didn't think about resisting at all, so he didn't even activate the only close-in defense gun.

A missile traced an unsightly trajectory in the vacuum of space, and hit the spaceship of the Trident Security Company with incomparable precision, directly destroying one of the propulsion engines of the spaceship.

The hit spacecraft bumped and swayed in space for a short time, and finally stabilized its balance. In fact, it has not lost its ability to fly, just like the civil aviation airliner on the Azure Star, which can continue to fly when one side of the engine is lost. In space, let alone three propulsion engines, even if there is only one It can also continue to fly, as long as the spacecraft does not disintegrate and explode.

And disintegration and explosion are also impossible, Xie Rui is too professional.

But it chose to stop and surrender, as if the people in it were afraid of death. It also seems that in the eyes of some people at this moment, this spaceship is the winning party.

Until this time, Ji Xinghe did not explain to Davis, and seemed to be making some kind of announcement through Davis.

"Look, it's actually not that complicated, it's very simple to deal with."

Davis said helplessly: "Yeah, it's really simple with only one missile, but what about after that? Old man, you... oh!"

Ji Xinghe's tone remained calm, as if he hadn't heard Davis' overtones at all, and he hadn't thought about anything else at all.

He said.

"And then it's easy because, well, I've got a lot, a lot, a lot of missiles."

Davis: "!!!"

Ivanovic: "!!!"
