169. Battle of Malastare Canyon (4)
"Lord Yularen, our planet has been besieged by the mercenaries of the Corporate Alliance for three full days. Originally, our planet's agricultural products mainly relied on imports. These three days of siege have almost caused the economy of our planet to collapse!" In the holographic projection, Malastare representatives, Ainlee-Senator Tim said worriedly.
"Please rest assured, Senator Tim. The purpose of our trip is to rescue Malastare. We hope that both of you can finally return to the negotiating table." Wullf-Yularen said calmly.
"I wish you good luck in martial arts, Lord Yularen. You are my only hope..." Senator Tim sighed and closed the communication.
"The whole army sets off! Start jumping at the same time in 30 seconds, target - Malastare!" Wullf-Captain Yularen gave the order, and the fleet of 200 spaceships set off immediately and flew straight towards the core of the conflict.
Malastare Narrows, Corporate Alliance fleet blockade line.
There are already a large number of wreckage of spacecraft floating around here, and the twisted corpses of the operators who were thrown out can be seen everywhere.
The three-day blockade almost put Malastare into a desperate situation. During this period, they tried every means to allow the spacecraft to sneak across the blockade and bring much-needed supplies to the planet.
In fact, this is also a major hidden danger of Galactic Republic, because most of Mid Rim and Outer Rim planets among Galactic Republic have not actually entered the interstellar era, and many are even still in medieval feudal society. Therefore, after joining Galactic Republic, these planets are somewhat out of place.
However, driven by Galactic Republic's major business giants, these backward planets often become commodity dumping grounds and cheap labor export places for business giants. A large number of commodities that exceed the level of these civilizations are swept over the sky, and most planets, from their rulers to their people, will fall into ruin and indulge in the extremely advanced luxury goods provided by business giants.
Not enough money? Borrow money! No money to pay back? Selling natural resources and manpower, there is always something to sell. Therefore, under the guidance of the ulterior motives of the business giants, these planets will basically have a population explosion, and then they will all rely on imported goods to survive.
After all, only when there are more people can there be consumption and labor force. As for the quality of life of these people, no one cares at all.
The result is that these planets have basically become part of the economic system of these business giants, and they almost have no ability to be self-sufficient. As for strategic reserves, in this peaceful Galactic Republic, there is no such concept at all!
Therefore, before Rodian planet suffered from famine due to reduced food production, Malastare was already dying after only three days of blockade - this kind of planet is extremely dependent on blood transfusions from Galactic Republic. Once the blood transfusions are cut off, the original shape will be revealed immediately.
The expanding population due to the continuous investment of business giants will immediately become a burden to them, because these planets originally did not have the ability to maintain this amount of population.
Then, business giants can directly cut off the backbone of a planet through trade sanctions or even force blockade and make them submit obediently.
Tang Xiao stared boredly at the ever-changing scenery outside the window. Under the influence of the magnetic field nebula around Malastare Narrows, there were streaks of bizarre and colorful haze around it, which looked like ribbons flying in the universe.
A faint sense of crisis struck Tang Xiao's heartstrings across the galaxy. He turned around and stared at a direction in the void, with a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
He patted Ni Yongxiao who was also looking at the scenery outside the window and said, "Ah Xiao, do you know? Before Republic fleet sets off, the representative of Malastare will definitely say this to him - You are my only hope!"
"Does this sentence have any special meaning?" Ni Yongxiao asked.
"The weak pray to the strong, leaving their future and destiny to others." Tang Xiao said, "Because of the existence of the Force, I really believe that there is a destiny in this universe. Because of this, people here are often more willing to place their hope in some higher-level power. This is their thinking mode."
"So, you who master the Force represent that higher level of power?" Ni Yongxiao asked.
"I can only touch this kind of power slightly. Moreover, I have some vague guesses about this kind of power, but further confirmation is needed. Forget it, before that, it is useless to think too much. You go and inform Igor-Zavalov, and be ready for battle, the enemy is coming."
Ni Yongxiao nodded, walked to the bridge command center, and informed Igor of the news.
Igor immediately issued an order, and all warships entered the highest combat preparation, ready for combat at all times. At the same time, he notified the commander-in-chief General Trench of the news.
"Are the enemies coming? Tsk tsk tsk tsk... As I expected, Galactic Republic will definitely take action, tsk tsk tsk tsk... But I am also waiting for their arrival." Trench slowly stroked the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth, and his six scarlet eyes narrowed slightly.
Then he waved the pointer in his hand suddenly and ordered, "Fourth Group fleet, move forward immediately, the bearing coordinates are 55.73 southeast, and move forward at full speed!"
Igor nodded, turned around and said to the navigator, "All spaceships are moving forward in formation, bearing coordinates are 55.73 southeast, moving forward at full speed!"
Trench looked fiercely, "Let's give Republic fleet a surprise! Count down for 30 seconds, and then start Blocker Number Two!!"
Republic fleet, who was in the hyperspace channel, had no idea that he was entering a carefully laid trap.
Wullf-Captain Yularen straightened his military cap and stood on the still blank holographic map. The combat information has been sent. The blockade fleet of the Corporate Alliance has placed a blocker at the position of Malastare Narrows coordinate 57.88, and deployed the fleet behind the blocker.
"Adjust the hyperspace jump distance and set the coordinates of the escape jump location to 58.04! Remember, distance is our key to victory!" Wullf-Yularen ordered.
"Yes!" The navigator immediately started operating.
At this moment, General Trench also issued an order, "Start, Blocker Number Two! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Didi didi!!! A piercing siren sounded on the bridge of Republic fleet, and the navigator screamed loudly, "Hyperspace navigation has been interfered with! We are about to leave hyperspace!!"
