Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

It doesn't matter whether Dawn is involved in the incident on the Alliance Star. What's important is that their true strength cannot be exposed. It would be enough to arrange a small team to serve as mercenaries, but a large-scale one would definitely not work, unless Dawn suddenly had a security fleet with sufficient strength.

Originally, there was no Dawn, both in name and in fact. There was enough power but it could not see the light and there were not enough warships.

But now it is possible, it is really possible, it just depends on whether someone can afford the price.

Johnson didn't know what was going on, and suddenly asked again: "Brother, do you really have that kind of power?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Yun looked at Johnson and said, "What, is it what you just said that you can handle it?"

Johnson said: "Yes, you really have such a combat force? Can it fight against our TMC?"

Xiao Yun said: "It's hard to say, brother. You know I have knights as my special guards, right?"

Johnson nodded, and Xiao Yun continued, "I have an elite force. It's not large, so a head-on confrontation is definitely not an option, but I can launch a sneak attack. I'm not like those people in the Freedom Alliance who have big dreams and grand strategies. I specialize in sneak attacks. Can you defend me? Can I launch a sneak attack and directly attack my hometown to destroy both sides?"

Johnson was stunned: "Is it possible? But how big is this scale?"

"It's just enough to protect myself." Xiao Yun spread his hands: "I don't have the energy to do more things, so creating conflicts and quarrels will only hurt both sides. Wouldn't it be better for me to use this time to make more money?"

"Don't even mention whether I can handle it or not. It's useless for anyone to take advantage of me and use their power to pressure me. I don't care how strong they are, but I have the confidence. I can protect myself and threaten them in return. That's enough. I'm not alone. It won't benefit anyone if I really stand in opposition. To be honest, there's nothing I can't give up. If someone really angers me, I'll just take my people and leave and kill his whole family. This isn't a strategy, it's a fight to the death. If I can't kill you, can't I kill your children?"

Johnson thought about it and understood what Xiao Yun meant. But after understanding it, Johnson couldn't help but take a breath. Doesn't this mean that whoever offends this guy must be on the lookout for assassination at any time? People living in the world must have family and friends, and people who help you do things also have family and friends. Xiao Yun can gather strength to randomly assassinate anyone, but Xiao Yun's enemies can't protect everyone.

Shameless and without bottom line.

Attacking innocent people...but the fight is already over to the death, so who is innocent?

Moreover, with Dawn's technical capabilities, they are definitely capable of producing sufficiently powerful machines. After all, this is not a war between forces without territory to defend. It is purely a vicious revenge of a real villain. If things go wrong, you may end up in bed and open your eyes to see hundreds of Dawn mechas surrounding you.

Damn, that’s cruel, is it poisonous?

However, Johnson also began to have some doubts. Of course, he suspected whether there was any relationship between Xiao Yun and Organization X. However, after investigating for so long, he really did not find any connection between the two. But if Dawn really has some hidden power, then maybe it can really be related to Organization X?

Once suspicion is planted, it is difficult to erase it. However, Xiao Yun does not care too much about it, because he will soon send people to the Alliance Star and some of it will naturally be exposed at that time. Anyway, as long as there is no evidence, suspicion will always be just suspicion, and there are too many ways to dispel suspicion.

Now even though Johnson knows that there are suspicious aspects of Dawn, he will not take any action. If there is really something wrong with Dawn, then he, Johnson, cannot escape responsibility. No one can jump away unless there is definite evidence that Dawn is the supplier of Organization X, or is actually a part of Organization X.

Xiao Yun brought Johnson to a closed testing ground, and then two ordinary T1 mechas appeared in Johnson's eyes.

"Is there really something new?"

Johnson didn't expect that Cruze was not just being polite, but really had something new and asked him to come and see.

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded and said with a smile, "Let's take a look first."

After saying that, Xiao Yun raised his hand to signal, and Johnson saw one of the T1s raised the beam weapon in its hand and attacked the other machine directly in front of everyone.

This scene surprised Johnson a little, but even more surprises were yet to come.

The beam of light landed on the machine in the blink of an eye, but suddenly a diffuse light flashed on the surface of the machine, as if there was a special barrier protecting the surface of the machine. The beam rifle, which was originally powerful, failed to cause any damage to the machine.

Johnson was a little surprised: "What is this!?"

"Don't worry bro, just keep watching."

The attacking T1 changed to other weapons. He had just tested the light beam and now started to use live ammunition to shoot. However, this time Xiao Yun took Johnson to move much further away. When Johnson saw that the live ammunition hit the target but only produced some sparks, his mouth opened so wide that he couldn't close it.

Xiao Yun said to Johnson, "This is a new type of protection system we have developed, the FT armor. It has a very high defense effect against both live ammunition and beam attacks. Although it is very high, it still has an upper limit. But compared to any existing defense methods, it is definitely the most advanced one. It can be installed on the body, so the energy consumption is very small. It is definitely not comparable to those fixed, ultra-high energy-consuming protective shields. It is completely attached to the body armor. How about this thing, brother?"

"Not bad!"

Johnson's eyes lit up, and his previous doubts inexplicably dissipated a lot. This kind of thing can completely enhance combat capabilities. This technology is simply NBPLUS. This technology is definitely something that all parties will hide. Xiao Yun even took out this technology to do business. This doesn't seem like something that bad organizations can do.

"What about the cost?"

Xiao Yun said: "Well, it's not too low. After all, it's a newly developed technology, and developing technology is very expensive."

"We can subsidize this money, or we can cooperate as before." Johnson said without hesitation: "But you must reduce the cost. What is the installation method? Is it a single device or a whole? Can it be easily installed?"

Xiao Yun said: "The armor needs to be replaced, but we can recycle the replaced armor. You can discuss the details with Gina."

Johnson fully understood that Xiao Yun generally didn't care about business matters. As long as it was business, it was Gina.

Johnson laughed: "Brother, you really gave me a big surprise this time."

Xiao Yun also smiled and said: "The purpose of researching technology is to make money, as long as you are satisfied, brother."

Johnson didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to Gina and started negotiations. Because of the production capacity, Gina agreed to cooperate in the same way as before, that is, Suguang would provide the technology, TMC would pay a large sum of money to purchase the right to use, and then Suguang would just sit back and collect the money.

It was only after a long discussion on the specific figures that both parties came to a result that satisfied both parties. Once the money was received, TMC could tow away the T1 and take away the FT armor technology.

Giving out technology licenses may seem like a loss, but in fact it is not a loss at all. The real thing is making money. Dawn's current production capacity is simply unable to meet the needs of TMC, not to mention the Federation and the Free Alliance. The armaments produced by Dawn itself will also have no worries about sales. The original money can be earned now and even more.

Now, Dawn charges astronomical figures for licensing fees every cycle. Not only TMC is replacing its equipment, but the War Federation on the Alliance Star is also rushing to equip various new aircraft. If it weren't for these aircraft that can be operated by fighter pilots, the battle line on the Alliance Star might have collapsed long ago.

It's different on Kona Industries' side. With the strong support of the Free Federation, its production capacity far exceeds that of Dawn, and it can basically do business on its own. It's also profitable. No matter what era, those who make arms can really make money.

But in addition to negotiating these matters, Gina also got what he wanted, a security company license issued by the federal government. With this, Shuguang can establish a real military contracting company, and Shuguang Military can also be established as a subsidiary of Shuguang. It is not impossible for it to develop into the scale of TMC in the future, but now this license still has many restrictions.

For example, there are restrictions on the number of warships of various levels, the types of armaments that can be used, the size and number of people, etc. If you want to develop openly, you must abide by these restrictions. If you want to expand in the future, you have to do it step by step. TMC did not grow so big all at once, but has gradually become what it is today over the years.

However, Dawn itself is a weapons development company, and now it has begun to get involved in the warship industry, so there are almost no restrictions on the levels of weapons and warships. All of them can be stuffed into Dawn's military in the name of testing and collecting data.

But Xiao Yun is not planning to develop Dawn Military on his own now. Even if the subsidiary independent of Dawn Industry gets the license, it will just be an empty shell. But this empty shell will be very valuable. It is also what Johnson and Xiao Yun discussed before. It can be sold at a good price.

Dawn Industry cannot allow anyone to interfere, but Dawn Military is different. Even if ten or a hundred people intervene, it is no problem. As long as the rules allow, these are small matters but can allow Xiao Yun to make a bigger fortune.

Kruze took over Shuguang Military and started to run it. He invited those who had expressed their intention to cooperate with Shuguang Industry, and then explained the conditions clearly to them.

This condition is not too harsh. They can only invest in Shuguang Military and Shuguang Industrial. The condition that they must sign an order with Shuguang Industry is not the main issue.

The main reason is that the size of the Dawn Military is limited, so not many people can join, which is equivalent to everyone sharing a piece of the pie. The Dawn Military can give up 80% of the share under the limit, and every point of the share is money, or it can be exchanged for rare resources, but in the end all the income on the Alliance Star or all the income earned by the Dawn Military in the future will be calculated separately, and after calculation, 25% will need to be handed over to Dawn.

The biggest controversy about this condition is the 25% after independent accounting. Shuguang Military has completely become a subcontractor that does not care about anything. Although the 20% share kept by Shuguang itself is small, it is enough for the time being. If it gets more, Shuguang cannot develop now. If it can become an unlimited military contractor like TMC in the future, it can develop in any way it wants.

Moreover, if Shuguang really wants to develop, it will not care about restrictions or not. At most, it will be hidden from the public. Now, taking this 20% share means that it must show some strength that can be seen in the public eye.

Xiao Yun ignored these matters throughout the process. It was Cruze who negotiated everything. Finally, two companies agreed to Cruze's conditions in order to get the opportunity to intervene in the Alliance Star. One of them occupied 40% of the places. To be precise, they got this opportunity after showing their sincerity.

Signing a purchase agreement with Sugon is not a condition, it is a benefit for them. Sugon's products are so competitive now that there are only three official channels to purchase mechas.

A joint enterprise, a large joint manufacturer in which Dawn and Kona Industries both have shares, and then there are Dawn and Kona Industries. The mechas are simply in short supply and the ones produced are basically absorbed by TMC, the Free Alliance and the Federation. The orders that can be sent out are not enough for two or three kittens to share.

Just looking at this point, some people will try to establish a relationship with Sugon. Now Sugon is small in scale but unique in technical capabilities. However, some people have high vision and big appetite, and they want to take a bite of Sugon Industry. While these people are still thinking of this crooked idea, Cruze has already selected the two companies with the greatest sincerity to secure the cooperation.

By the time other people reacted, it was too late to regret. It was useless to try to put pressure on Dawn through other means. TMC would not pay attention to such requests. The pressure that would eventually fall on Dawn Industry through the federation's relationship would first be borne by TMC, and then the officers stationed in the Chimera Federation Fleet, whom Xiao Yun had spent so much effort to win over, would bear some of the pressure. As for the rest, Xiao Yun could really ignore it.

Later, Xiao Yun received another important piece of news from Johnson. The Federation will mobilize a core fleet to the border. The time when the core fleet arrives is the time to completely recover the Alliance Star and launch a counterattack. Judging from the speed, it will take about three to five months. The counterattack will take such a long time, but now we can start preparing in advance to weaken the alien race's combat effectiveness and lay a solid foundation for the counterattack.

After making preparations, Xiao Yun boarded the completely modified warship he had purchased from the Federation Army and began to head for the Alliance Star. The ship was ultimately not named Bronze Sparrow, and its official name became Valkyrie.
