412. Adding obstacles at both ends

Volgograd-Kanidi started drinking again, and this time he drank a lot. There were several empty wine bottles lying staggered next to him, and he smelled of alcohol.

Yesterday, the Luukri-Hok-class freighter sent to Dawn Star Planet returned, bringing 100 Mongoose light ATV, 80 Warthog multi-purpose off-road vehicle, 20 Goliath Mech, 20 Vulture Vehicle, and 10 War Wolf Mech that had just completed research and development and rolled off the production line.

In addition, there are 40 Wraith fighter, 5 Banshee Fighter, 10 Shriken Class Light Corvette and 10 Stilat Class Light Corvette. There are 150 fighter pilots, 1,000 Marines, Commander is Colonel Xiao Guanghua, and Carl of the Staff Department - Walton also visited the scene as a combat observer.

Not only that, it also brought two production lines for the production of various missiles and 1,000 tons of compressed explosive gas. There are even 1 million tons of supplies, including food, medicine, drinking water, etc.

It stands to reason that Kanidi should be happy to see so many supplies shipped, but he is not happy at all. This ship of arms has not even been unloaded. How could it be delivered? It is still placed intact in Luukri-Hok-class freighter's cargo hold.

Those pilots and Marines were provided with good food and drink, but they were not allowed to do anything.

But he himself still arranged the expansion of the entire colony in an orderly manner. The population of Black Horn City has exceeded 80,000, and mining areas and agricultural areas have also been established.

However, he never sent anyone to carry out drilling work in the Grey Sea.

Kanidi opened another bottle of wine, took a big gulp, looked at the cargo ship full of arms out the window, and cursed drunkenly, "Are you trying to force me to death? Lord Governor..."

Tang Xiao didn't say a word, and directly sent a ship of arms. The meaning was obvious - whether to fight or make peace, the decision is yours. I have prepared everything for you. You can choose the way to go.

But Kanidi is not a fool. He naturally knows that he will definitely not be able to control the situation here. This has nothing to do with ability, just because of status. It is impossible for Ayrou to approve him to negotiate. They will regard Fourth Civilization as contempt for sending only one regional governor to negotiate.

In fact, he had already talked with a chief of Ayrou yesterday, and the effect was very poor. The other party insisted that Fourth Civilization must stop colonial activities and leave Kuna's Tooth. The two sides did not even have a basis for negotiation.

At this moment, the adjutant walked in, took a look at the wine bottles on the floor, shook his head slightly, and said, "Sir, Ayrou requires us to negotiate again."

"When?" Kanidi took another sip of wine.

"In 30 minutes."

"Get ready, I'll talk to them with full authority." Kanidi emphasized the word full authority, as if venting his frustration.

Went to the communication room of the spacecraft and after waiting for a while, the communication was connected. The image of a middle-aged woman Ayrou appeared in the holographic projection.

Ayrou is a race of birds. They all have beautiful feathers on their heads. They are thin and can often reach 2 meters in height. Their limbs are slender and have three joints. When they are young, they can often be said to be very beautiful and handsome. However, when they get a little older, they will look like witches, which is very scary.

Just like the Ayrou in front of me, let her play the old witch in "The Little Mermaid" without even putting on makeup.

This Ayrou glanced at Kanidi and said in a sharp voice, "I am Annaj Planet Secretary of State Tarara-Ziad. Regarding the illegal colonization in Kuna's Tooth, I hope Dawn Star Planet will give an answer."

As a bird race, the voice of Ayrou is as unpleasant as the neighing of a crow. Of course, when they were young, their voices were very clear and pleasant, but that didn't last long.

In other words, if you are lucky enough to marry a Ayrou as your wife, then the first three years will be a beautiful fairy tale, the next three years will be a youth idol drama, and the rest of your life will be a horror movie.

Volgograd-Kanidi rubbed his ears and said, "We hope to drill in the Grey Sea to prepare for the future modification of Kuna's Tooth Planet's atmosphere. This should be a mutually beneficial thing."

"There is no mutual benefit!! Kuna Cluster is our Ayrou's sphere of influence! When I allowed you to colonize Endor system in the first place, it was already an act of mercy outside the law. Don't push yourself too far!" Tarara-Ziad said sharply.

Kanidi sighed and said, "You can't say that. I have inspected your settlement in Kuna's Tooth. Judging from the age of the building, it is at least 20 years old. In other words, with your current capabilities, it is indeed impossible to carry out large-scale development of Kuna's Tooth, but we can. Therefore, we hope that we can jointly develop it."

"We can develop our own sphere of influence however we want! It has nothing to do with you! Even if we only build one village in a hundred years, it has nothing to do with you! Now, get out of here Kuna's Tooth!!" Tarara-Ziad roared.

"We are all members of Galactic Republic. How can we continue talking with your attitude like this?" Kanidi frowned.

"Asking you Dawn Star Planet yourselves!! It's you who are so greedy that you not only set up illegal colonies in Kuna's Tooth, but also conduct large-scale mining in Kuna's Eye!! You have violated our bottom line!!" Tarara said loudly.

"Wait a minute! I didn't know we were still mining at Kuna's Eye?" Kanidi was shocked.

"Don't think I don't know where United Mining Group comes from." Tarara's face was gloomy.

"I think... I think I can confirm this. We must have a way to seek common ground while reserving differences and develop together." Kanidi was sweating coldly.

"So you are just a local governor, what qualifications do you have to talk!! Before you Governor of Dawn Star Planet come to talk to me in person, we will stop all channels for negotiation!! When I give you 48 standards, remove all the spaceships around Kuna's Tooth, and then the colony you have built will be managed by us Annaj Planet! Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!" Tarara snorted and cut off the communication.

Volgograd-Kanidi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly connected to Tang Xiao's communication. Tang Xiao was obviously a little impatient. With his expression on his face, he said carefully, "Sir Governor, why is United Mining Group still mining in Kuna's Eye!? This incident has stimulated Ayrou. Do you think..."

Tang Xiao just said coldly, "Volgograd-Kanidi, are you directing our Fourth Civilization expansion policy, or are you teaching me how to do things?"

"No... I mean, United Mining Group's actions are too reckless, which will cause us to directly conflict with Ayrou..." Kanidi quickly explained.

"Fourth Civilization's established policy is to occupy the entire Kuna Cluster. If we cannot achieve this goal, who will be responsible for the failure or even genocide we may face in future wars? You?" Tang Xiao dropped this sentence coldly, and then directly cut off the communication.
