Angels Are Not Birdmen [Interstellar]

In the next few days, Si Chen and Lu Yu were busy in the Eastern Military Region.

Early this morning, Si Chen was processing documents when the optical brain on his wrist suddenly lit up.

"Uncle Huang, is there an urgent order?" Si Chen answered the communication immediately.

Lu Yu, who was studying the mecha theory, also raised his head and looked at Si Yuan in the light curtain. "Chirp?"

"There is no urgent order, but I have something to discuss with you." Si Yuan's expression was obviously much more serious than before. “A result needs to be negotiated as soon as possible.”

Si Yuan put aside the document he was processing. "What makes you so anxious?"

"The Federation took the initiative to contact us, hoping to determine the ownership of Owendor in the near future." Si Yuan looked down at the star map.

Owendo star is located at the junction of the empire and the federal star field, and it has great strategic significance for both parties.

The unique Owen polycrystalline stone in the planet is extremely valuable and has a wide range of uses.It can be seen in fields such as mechs, energy weapons, potions, and formations.

Both the empire and the federation wanted to include this planet in their starry sky, but they never succeeded.The biggest reason preventing them from obtaining this planet is the interference of the other party.

If one party voluntarily gives up, the other party will be able to take Ao Wenxing into his pocket.The obstacles inside the planet are not worth mentioning to them.

"What specific regulations?" Si Chen stretched out his hand to stroke Lu Yu's feathers, already having some guesses in his mind.

"The federation invited our empire to conduct a military exercise, and the winning side will get the right to own the Owendo planet." Si Yuan paused for a moment, and his tone became deeper. "During the exercise, life and death don't matter."

"It appears to be a joint military exercise, but it's actually a small-scale battle." Si Chen explained the essence, "If my guess is correct, the Federation should have other arrangements for this battle."

"Currently neither the Empire nor the Federation's armies are suitable for major damage. The Federation proposes to adopt a team competition method for this reason. The two sides each select 20 teams, and each team has a maximum of [-] people. The team that wins in the end will decide. Victory belongs."

Si Yuan operated the optical brain. "I'll forward the file to you, please read it carefully."

"Okay." Si Chen turned on the optical computer and checked the document just received.

Lu Yu also moved his head closer to watch the content of the file together.

Si Chen rubbed Lu Yu's head, "Uncle, I personally think that I can agree to the federation's invitation. You have long wanted to include Owendo planet into the empire's territory, and now is a good time."

"If the Federation chooses to conduct military exercises at other times, I may directly agree. Now..." Si Yuan pursed his lips, "Obviously there are other plans."

"Does the Federation want to use Owendo Star as a bet in exchange for a chance to attack me and Lu Yu?" Si Chen was very clear about the Federation's plan.

Si Yuan nodded, "I don't want Lu Yu to take risks."

He had confidence in Si Chen's strength, but he wasn't sure if Lu Yu would be able to escape unscathed.

Si Chen is the hero of the empire and the confidant of the Federation.

The Federation may have started planning against Si Chen and his contracted beast as early as when Si Chen signed the contract with the spirit beast.If the plan does not have a few points of winning percentage, it is impossible to bet on Ao Wenxing.

No one will give up treasures to an outsider for no reason, they will only use treasures as bait.

This joint military exercise is bound to be full of crises.

"Lu Yu has the ability to protect himself." When Si Chen mentioned this, his face became a little more proud.

Si Yuan looked at the white ball of hair in Si Chen's arms, "Could it be that Lu Yu got some great racial inheritance?"

"Yes." Si Chen gave an affirmative answer.

Lu Yu's control of the mecha relies on extremely sensitive thinking, which is related to mysterious spiritual power.Mental power is affected by special energy, so it has characteristics different from ordinary people.This ability to control mechs can be regarded as a special racial inheritance.

In addition to the ability to control mechs, Lu Yu also has other life-saving methods in his memory.The spell that confuses Kelvin in the virtual battlefield can be used to save life at critical moments.

"Chirp." Lu Yu also responded.

Si Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Since this is the case, then take a risk. The most important thing for you is to protect yourself, and you can give up Owendo if necessary."

"We understand." Si Chen's hand stroking the feather paused slightly. "Uncle should still discuss the details with the Federal Parliament?"

"There is no opponent in the federation that can fight you fairly, and it is very likely that you will use the method of siege. I will try to reduce the number of people participating in the competition on both sides as much as possible, and reduce the threat to you caused by the opponent's encirclement..." Si Yuan looked at the document again . "When necessary, you can choose to open the war and use public opinion to suppress people."

Si Chen's strength is not afraid of an aboveboard opponent, but what is worrying is the method hidden in the dark.

If open warfare puts everything under the eyes of the people, the Federation will have to be more cautious when using methods.

Of course, it is impossible to make a normal battle public. Right now it is just a 'joint military exercise', and it is possible to make it public.

"I trust uncle." Si Chen's expression softened a little, "You can definitely get us a lot of convenience."

"Just leave it to me!" Si Yuan was also confident about this. "You have arranged in advance and are ready to leave the Eastern Military Region at any time. The Federation will not give Lu Yu time to grow up. They propose to hold military exercises in five days. I can push the time back, but it is impossible to extend it for too long."

Si Chen didn't care. "It's enough."

Five days is enough for them.

Lu Yu didn't need time to learn mech driving as outsiders thought.

The growth rate of contracted beasts is slow, and it is difficult to use supernatural powers to help contractors in the early stage, mainly using mechas to cooperate with contractors.

If the contractor does not cooperate with the contractor to drive the mecha, it will not be able to provide much help to the contractor, and may even become a drag on the contractor.

Those opponents were so eager to make a move because they didn't want the contracted beast to help Si Chen.When encountering a special case like Lu Yu, it can only be said that they are unlucky.

Si Chen didn't think about rejecting Si Yuan's kindness either.

Although Lu Yu didn't need to learn mecha driving, they could use the time Si Chen bought to further develop a tacit understanding.If you cooperate well when driving the mech, the strength you can display is not as simple as [-]+[-].

"I'll reply to the Federation first." Si Yuan looked down at the document, as if he had already entered the state. "I will communicate with you later."

"Okay." Si Chen watched Si Yuan disappear in the light curtain, raised his hand to open another communication.

Wang Qi appeared on the communication screen. "General."

"Come over here and bring the investigation results of the virtual battlefield." Si Chen ordered directly.

Wang Qi pursed her lips slightly. "yes."

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Qi walked into the room.

"General, this is the result of the latest investigation." Wang Qian presented the document in her hand with a helpless expression. "I encountered obstacles during my investigation. I only identified the accomplice, but failed to investigate the mastermind."

Si Chen took the document panel, swipe his fingers to flip through the contents, and he has read the last page in a short while. "Everyone on the file will be disposed of."

"General, this is likely to scare the snake." Wang Qian felt that it was impossible for Si Chen not to notice. "Are you not going to look for the mastermind again? Or do you already know the identity of the mastermind?"

"Let's put this matter aside for now." Si Chen didn't answer. "The Federation is going to hold a small joint military exercise with the Empire. You and Vice General Xie are on the list, so prepare in advance."

"Deputy General Xie is also here?" Wang Qian often followed Si Chen to the north and south, and she was not surprised that her name would be on the list.But Xie Yuancheng was helping Si Chen with military affairs most of the time, and he didn't go to the battlefield many times.

"This military exercise has a lot to do with it." Si Chen pushed the document back in front of Wang Qian, "Most of the S-level forces of the empire will participate, and Vice-General Xie will naturally not be absent."

"Your subordinate understands." Wang Qian didn't ask any more questions, but there was a little bit of hesitation in her heart.

She always felt that at this time, the general had other intentions in bringing Xie Yuancheng to the battlefield.

Could it be that Xie Yuancheng was related to the previous virtual battlefield accident?

This idea flashed in his mind, but was dismissed directly.

Xie Yuancheng was born in a down-and-out family, and he didn't have the conditions to get in touch with top technology in his early years.After he entered the army, he continued to improve his strength, and only then did he have his current military achievements and status.Right now, he has become the general's right-hand man, and he is also busy every day... He has no time to learn top technology at all, so how can he influence the virtual battlefield without leaving a trace?

Thinking of this, Wang Qi felt a little guilty. She shouldn't doubt her colleagues.

"Job and Aike will also accompany you, and you will select another fifteen A-level peak fighters to prepare for this mission." Si Chen tapped the table with his fingers.

"General, who will be in charge of the military region?" Wang Qian had to confirm who would stay, so she could arrange another [-] troops.

"Qi Qingxu will take over Xie Yuancheng's task, and Fei Rui will take over your work." Si Chen had already made a decision.

"Ferry Harold is really good, Qi Qingxu..." Wang Qi didn't know how to make a decision.

Although Qi Qingxu is not a direct descendant of the Qi family, he is also a direct bloodline.

Before the Qi family wanted to remain neutral, their relationship with the royal family was rather delicate, and Qi Qingxu's position in the army was equally delicate.His position is not low, but he can't touch the secrets.It is really impossible to determine his ability from his past resumes.

Wang Qian has no objection to Qi Qingxu's identity, but doubts his ability.

"Qi Qingxu is capable enough, but his experience may be lacking." Si Chen's subordinates obviously knew better than Wang Qian, and the appointment at this time was not just because of the surrender of the Qi family. "You arrange for Pei Rui to help. The emperor will also pay attention to the Eastern Military Region in the near future."

"Understood." Wang Qian's face became brighter.

It seems that the rumor that the Qi family is going to fall to the royal family is not groundless.

However, the Qi family obviously still needs to be tested, and it is obvious that the general Qi family is testing them now.

She will tell Pei Rui later to 'help' Qi Qingxu.Even if Qi Qingxu really had a problem, with His Majesty around, the Eastern Military Region would not make any mistakes.

If Qi Qingxu earnestly completes the task of the general, the news that he holds an important position in the Eastern Military Region will quickly spread to the upper echelons of the empire, and the Qi family will be labeled as the royal family, and it will be very difficult to remove it.
