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 Gathering Spirit Array, so as not to have time to deal with it.
This kind of suffering made him extremely irritable, and he was really 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, not to mention the military dispatching troops to besiege him, it would be enough to carefully plan a sneak attack against him.
But on this day, High Imitation Warship 3344, who was quietly wandering outside, still sent a message.
Two warships are sailing towards Godley. Although they are not painted, they are undoubtedly standard warships.
Along with the standard warship, there is also a Heavy Armed Merchant Ship - from the appearance, it should be the ship Wanmi Mining that transports cargo.
Qu Jianlei didn't dare to neglect, and immediately turned on Ship Hangar, drove out the tattered 8384, and Attack Ship was also put on standby.
Wanmi Mine noticed this unusual behavior, and Dak 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.
The two warships are currently in a state where they can attack Wanmi Mine's Ground Fortress at any time.
Li Ang was also shocked when he heard this. He swore that Wanmi would never take action against his collaborator and asked him to give him some time.
Twenty minutes later, he called 8384 Ship again and said that he had figured it out and that the three starships that came were not malicious.
Qu Jianlei How can you believe this? Both 8384 and Attack Ship remain in the air.
However, Ground Fortress in the mine did not react 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, 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 landing of the two starships.
This time, the supreme Gotel of Wanmi Mining came again and was the first to step off the starship.
Qu Jianlei walked out of 8384 with the identity of "Hongjingtian", with the aura of Rock Armor on his body.
This attitude is very obvious. He is very wary of the sudden arrival of two standard warships.
Gotel could only smile bitterly when he saw this, "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 also the reason why Gotel smiled bitterly: Those two warships asked him to keep it secret!
The two warships are one from the garrison of Transit Star and the other 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.
Anti-Smuggling Department's battleship is not painted, and the reason is very simple. This is the car of the Anti-Smuggling Department's boss.
Normally, Anti-Smuggling Department's battleships must be painted, but the identity of the boss is too sensitive.
It must be admitted that although Anti-Smuggling Department hides filth and evil, their existence has indeed led to a sharp reduction in smuggling.
In this way, offending people is inevitable, and there are many daring people among smugglers.
In any case, Anti-Smuggling Department came with the military to definitely solve the problems left over from that battle.
As for why I wanted to be escorted by Wanmi Mining, it was because I was 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 families were thinking and directly sent Gotel who had been in contact with Hongjingtian.
Gotel is not stupid. 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 opponent off guard, and see how the opponent would react.
If the opponent is really unbearable, a fight is possible. After all, in 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. Gotel can guess that these two companies 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 Sail Consortium doesn't know the details of this force, let alone outsiders.
In any case, they came here with the idea of gaining a head start! Gotel wants this, but he can't do more... Notify Wanmi Mine privately? That's absolutely impossible! The army is the most powerful war machine in the empire, and even the military is involved. This kind of thing is simply not something that a consortium can handle.
Therefore, Gotel 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 Hongjingtian's accusations, Gotel couldn't 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 do anything here."
Qu Jianlei was startled when he heard this, and then smiled disapprovingly.
"So that's it. I really didn't expect that the military and Anti-Smuggling Department people are so afraid of death!"
The military leader was a Earth Attribute Rank A. Hearing this, he couldn't help but asked, "Are you insulting the military?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently, "Little Rank A, who gave you the courage to talk to the Supreme Being like this?"
Earth Attribute Rank A's face changed when he heard this, "Sir, although I am only Rank A, 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.
It was not that he had never seen Rank A from the military, he had even killed him. However, at that time, he could only rely on sneak attacks.
Back in Hope Star Region, he was not far from Third War Zone's supreme Deng Xisi, but he was too lazy to show up.
Now, he can directly scold the opponent Rank A for being bold, which shows that the growth in strength is the real source of confidence.
Then he looked at the Anti-Smuggling Department's people, "They actually sent a Supreme Being here... Are you planning a sneak attack?"
That's right, this time Anti-Smuggling Department's leader is actually a supreme leader.
To say that there are about ten or twenty supremes in the empire Anti-Smuggling Department, but averaged over each star field, there are not many.
Like Hope Star Region and Anti-Smuggling Department, there is only one supreme player, and they often disappear while playing.
Therefore, Skyhook Star Region's Anti-Smuggling Department can send a supreme being, which is enough to prove that they attach great importance to this matter.
This Supreme Being's name is Sheriff. Faced with his provocation, this person responded calmly.
"There is no sneak attack. I am here to represent Anti-Smuggling Department's attention. Anti-Smuggling Department is never something everyone rubs against!"
That's right, the military didn't even send the Supreme Commander, and it seemed like they really didn't intend to fight a tough battle.
However, things are not that simple.
In the case of a surprise attack, it is not difficult to kill a Supreme with two warships and one Supreme.
It is a pity that Gotel of Wanmi Mining does not intend to cooperate, otherwise the probability will be greatly increased.
Qu Jianlei looked at him with a strange expression, "You Fire Attribute Supreme, who gave you the courage to speak like this?"
When fighting in space, the most powerful thing is to fight for equipment. The most powerful person can fight in person, but... Discrimination Chain exists objectively.
The ones with combat power bonuses are gold and water. Earth Attribute is not bad either, but Fire Attribute is a little too slim. The worst one is Wood Attribute.
What Qu Jianlei stated was the truth, and what he showed was that Earth Attribute was qualified to discriminate against the other party.
His standard of words and deeds is based on Qinghu, and he doesn't feel that his tone is so mean.
Sheriff heard this and spoke 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 not just about superiority or inferiority, but also about life and death. I'm not looking down on you... Do you dare?"
Sheriff was speechless upon hearing this. He came to protect Anti-Smuggling Department's dignity and was mentally prepared for a fierce fight.
But he really didn't dare to challenge him in a one-on-one battle to decide life and death. The reason was very simple... he couldn't beat him! Apart from anything else, he couldn't beat Sigwa who died in the opponent's hands, let alone the one on the other side who killed Sigwa?
However, he had no choice but to come. Anti-Smuggling Department's face was involved and he had to protect it.
It's strange to say that Anti-Smuggling Department is not good at space combat, so why did he come to Skyhook Star Region to inspect?
Sheriff was speechless. Seeing that the situation was not good, Rank A from the military 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 this plan! Military Rank A said calmly, "If you can solve the problem, why bother solving the people?"
Qu Jianlei heard this and frowned slightly, "When you speak like this, can I think that you are threatening me?"
He is actually not that aggressive as a person, but doesn't he know how to speak? They all learned from Qinghu.
However, although the military Rank A is stubborn, he will not make independent decisions on this kind of matter.
He shook his head slightly, "The military came here just to express support for the Anti-Smuggling Department. In any case, 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 Anti-Smuggling Department's fleet near Blue Elf Star... How should this be calculated?"
