418. Kanidi's anger

Volgograd-Kanidi drove the Mongoose at lightning speed all the way back to Black Horn City. His adjutant came up to him, his face was a little ugly, and he hesitated to speak.

Kanidi ignored him and said directly, "Send people to the mine immediately to rescue all the miners. Form a patrol team. Each team will have 1 Warthog off-road vehicle and 3 Mongoose off-road motorcycle. Bring enough ammunition and send out 40 Team, expand the inspection scope to Black Horn City including 200 kilometers around the mining area. In addition, pick up Xiao Guanghua and Carl-Walton and hold a combat meeting in half an hour."

"Then what should you do if you meet Ayrou?" The adjutant's tone was a little cold.

"Tang Xiao, what should we do?" Kanidi asked in return.

"The Governor has issued an ultimatum to Ayrou."

"Since war has not been officially declared, if the other party does not take the initiative to attack, fire a warning shot, and shoot those who refuse to obey. If the other party takes the initiative to attack, then shoot and kill." Kanidi answered directly without hesitation.

The adjutant bit his lower lip, gave a serious military salute to Kanidi, turned around and went out, and immediately went to make arrangements.

Kanidi subconsciously reached out and grabbed a bottle of wine, but then his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he smashed the bottle against the wall and shattered it to the ground. The smell of wine spread. He took a few deep breaths and connected to Tang Xiao's communication.

After a while, Tang Xiao's figure appeared in the holographic projection. He said slowly, "Mr. Kanidi, if you still insist on resigning, then I can seriously consider it now."

"You planned all this, right? Including Commander who asked me to take charge of this colony!" Kanidi looked fiercely.

"No matter how much you deify me, it won't be like this." Tang Xiao seemed very relaxed now, and said with a slight smile, "Your appointment did not go through me, it was Administrative Department's decision, and I never made it I thought I would have a conflict with Ayrou at this time, maybe in the future, but definitely not with Kuna's Tooth... As it turned out, I still underestimated Ayrou's determination."

"Then you use me and my trauma to give you a layer of victimhood Halo! Cover up your wolfish ambition!!" Kanidi shouted.

"I said, whether I'm using you or forcing you, it's just a side effect of my established policy. I really didn't expect Ayrou to be so tough, but then I understood that their toughness was an opportunity that I could take advantage of, an opportunity to occupy Kuna Cluster and dominate Modell Sector in a short period of time. So, yes, I took advantage of your weakness." Tang Xiao said frankly.

"Compared with the bastards I have met, at least you can tell the truth." Kanidi gritted his teeth and said, "How come you don't care about me! But what about those miners? What about the pioneers? And what about Tiur? Their lives, what do they mean to you?!"

Tang Xiao crossed his hands to support his chin, "This is an easy multiple-choice question, Kanidi. They are a group of desperate refugees. Without my rescue, they may have starved to death in the corner of a certain planet. I don't want to kill them intentionally, but if necessary, I don't have much psychological burden to sacrifice their lives."

"This is just your war, it has nothing to do with them." Kanidi's voice deepened.

"The individual and the country are closely connected. An individual without the country is nothing, and the reverse is also true. I have emphasized more than once that we are facing war. If we cannot prepare for war, then I and my people will die without a burial place." Tang Xiao said.

"This is just your personal ambition!"

"Whatever you want to understand." Tang Xiao smiled, "Okay, what's your answer? Resign, or what? My fleet is ready and they will arrive at Kuna's Tooth in 5 hours."

Kanidi's eyes were extremely sharp, "You put the lives of 500,000 people in my hands, how can you ask me to resign?!"

Tang Xiao changed his position to make himself more comfortable, "Actually, I am also teaching Ayrou how to use ultimatums. Ultimatums are not used to block doors or spray paint. It is used to throw shit. The ultimatum... is used for war... So, if you don't resign, then Kuna Cluster or even Modell Sector, the war that is about to break out will involve you."

"I will protect my Pioneer Corps! I don't need your fleet!" Kanidi said through gritted teeth.

Tang Xiao laughed, "It's good that you have this determination. Then, I will continue to let you serve as Pioneer Corps Commander, and let me see how far you can go. Your mission is to guard Kuna's Tooth for me, and you cannot lose this planet until I open up the situation in other directions! Remember, behind you is the entire Fourth Civilization."

Kanidi didn't wait for Tang Xiao to finish speaking and had already turned around and left.

He went straight to the command center, where Carl Si-Walton, Xiao Guanghua and others were already waiting here. Seeing Kanidi coming, they all stood up and saluted.

Jin Chen, the adjutant of Kanidi, said, "We have just received notification that Commander of Fleet A Matt-Hona has led the fleet to set off. It is expected to arrive at Kuna's Tooth System in 5 hours. We will launch a counterattack."

"Fleet A will not come, I told them to go back on their own. Kuna's Tooth's blood debt will be paid by me myself to Ayrou." Almost every word of Kanidi came out from between his teeth.

"But without the support of Fleet A, we..."

"No but! Ayrou doesn't want war? Then give them war!" Kanidi said decisively, "Let the armaments on cargo ship No. 5 begin to unload and organize immediately. I need a mechanized assault force!"

"Leave it to me." Carl Si-Walton stood up and said. He looked at Kanidi and nodded, "Since I am here, I will temporarily accept your command, regardless of my military rank."

"Thank you." Kanidi nodded in thanks and continued, "Next, we will cut off Ayrou's supply line!"

"Rush over directly?" Jin Chen asked.

"Of course... impossible." Kanidi raised his finger and drew a route on the star map, "Start from here!"

"Have you found out? Why did Russo shoot!!" On Kuna's Tooth Planet, in the Ayrou colony, General Telsi was furious, "Because of his stupidity, we completely lost the support of public opinion!!"

"According to the investigation results from Annaj Planet, he owed a large sum of money to Tatooine, and he killed his entire family before setting off. It seemed that he was determined to die." The colonial official lowered his head and said.

"Impossible!! There must be something wrong with this result!!" Telsi made a sharp cry.

At this time, a communications soldier rushed in and said loudly, "General! General!! The latest news from Annaj Planet! Ayrou Queen has officially rejected Dawn Star Planet's ultimatum, and now both of us have entered a state of war!"

General Telsi looked at the time and said, "Our next batch of supplies will arrive at half a standard hour. Once we get this batch of supplies, we will immediately launch an attack on Dawn Star Planet's colony!! Their Pioneer Corps has a large population and cannot be given the chance to train those people into soldiers!"

"Yes!!"

"Order all spaceships to deploy along the equator of Kuna's Tooth! Monitor the hyperspace channel at all times! Be prepared to prevent the other party from using those large cargo ships to cause trouble!" General Telsi continued to order, one instruction after another in an orderly manner.

Obviously, to be assigned to the forefront of this conflict by Ayrou Queen, Telsi's ability has been recognized by Queen.

At this moment, the radar soldier suddenly screamed, "Hyperspace jump detected!! Coordinates are being calculated!! No... impossible!!"

"What happened?"

The radar soldier's face turned pale and he looked at General Telsi blankly, "The coordinates of the hyperspace jump are inside the gravitational circle of Kuna's Tooth Planet!!"

"Are they going to commit suicide?" General Telsi frowned.

"Wait a minute... the further coordinates have been calculated... the landing point of their jump is just blocking our supply fleet!!" the radar soldier said loudly.

"What did you say?! Let our fleet come back for reinforcements immediately! Immediately!!!" Telsi was so frightened that his voice became sharp.

However, the warning time for the hyperspace jump was less than 1 minute. A burst of white light flashed, and a huge Luukri-Hok-class freighter suddenly appeared in the universe! -
