the days before i bought the galaxy

"It's really a pleasure to see two outstanding young people in a row within a few days." After reaching a consensus with Warren, Henry Wickham couldn't help sighing.

Warren immediately thought of the other person the administrator was referring to.

The heir of the Yindun family, that business genius who is three years younger than him!

"Who do you think is stronger between me and the heir of the Silver Shield family?" Warren asked curiously.

"In terms of excellence, it's hard to judge. But if I were the last generation of the Silver Shield family in power..." Henry Wickham smiled, "I will also choose him as my successor, not you."

Warren also laughed: "It seems that his talent is indeed extraordinary, and your evaluation of him is even higher than mine." Warren didn't care that the administrator promoted the heir of the Silver Shield family so much.In his opinion, it would be surprising if someone really incompetent took this position.

"No, Heinrich's strength is not his talent. His abilities make him a perfect fit for Silver Shield, and you are a better fit for your proposed plan. If you reversed the positions of the two of you, That would be a disaster. Of course, for now, you're still no match for him."

"Heinrich..." Warren chewed on the first name he'd heard.

"Warren, you're young, there's a lot you don't know, and the world isn't as simple as you think. If we were all standing on a mountain, the best you could see was where you were One kilometer ahead, my position can see a hundred kilometers, and Heinrich...he can almost see the whole world! He knows things that you never think about, he needs to be like a machine Think carefully, instead of being as innovative as you are. This is the difference between the two of you. What the Silver Shield family needs is not a reformer, but a person who can inherit the glory."

"I think I have roughly understood. I will find a way to go to a higher position, and one day I will surpass his height, and even see the unknown world clearly! The Silver Shield family is the resistance I have to face .”

Henry Wickham shook his head: "My advice is, never stand against Silver Shield, think about how to get him to admit and help you."

"Henry, are you afraid? Afraid of the power of the silver shield? Just because it has been strong for too long?" Warren asked back.

"No. I respect this family for its indelible contributions to humanity, but I am not afraid of it. Warren, you should remember that I have never been afraid of anything!"

Warren felt that the powerful aura emanating from Henry Wickham at this moment was the unmatched confidence that time had bestowed on this man, something he didn't have right now.

"Okay then, let's take the Silver Shield family off the hostile list for now. I should respect the opinions of my partners, shouldn't I?" Warren compromised.

Henry Wickham was amazed by the way Warren talked about the Silver Shields.He had just heard today the most daring and incredible plan he had ever heard in his life.Now, he actually felt that if someone like Warren Slim was in charge, this plan would really be possible to realize!

It's worth a try anyway.He told himself that even if he only implemented the first and second stages of the plan, it would be enough to bring Bethel to a higher glory!

When Warren walked out of the administrator's mansion, he saw Lan's figure in the distance.The flat expression on the robot's face came to life immediately after seeing him, and Warren felt his heartstrings being tugged at.Although this vividness may be just a slight change of expression in the eyes of others, he knows that Lan cares about him all the time, and will even sacrifice everything for him as long as there is a need.

"Let's go!" Warren walked over and tapped Lan on the shoulder with his fist.

Lan nodded and immediately followed his footsteps.Around them is a thin blue film that is so light that it is almost invisible, which is Lan's upgraded protective shield.Except for a few heavy weapons, not even lasers can penetrate this powerful protective shield.In the past few days, Lan has been with Warren almost 24 hours a day. The robot, who has always been thrifty (?), even spent a lot of money to install a flight system for himself, so that he can take Warren out of the dangerous area when necessary.

"Go back to the hotel." Warren glanced at the iron gate of the administrator's mansion that was slowly closing, "Henry also thinks that space pirates did it. We will leave Bethel in three days, and he will send a frigate to escort us .”

Lan started the airship: "A military frigate?"

"The specific model is unknown. I guess it should be a regular frigate of the local security force. I will assign you to serve as a liaison officer with the military. You must find a way to obtain some information from this spaceship." Looking out of the car window, Bei The street scene in Searle began to accelerate backwards, and Warren suddenly felt a little emotional, "When I come back here next time, everything will be different, right?"

"Bethel has entered a period of stability and prosperity. If we come back within ten years, the cityscape and streetscape should not be much different." Lan said while driving the airship, "What kind of information do you want me to obtain?"

"Regarding the establishment, training, weapons, and combat methods of the local security forces, all aspects, if possible, should be collected as much as possible. It is best to find a way to get retired soldiers to join us. You must also ensure that this spaceship will not There is a threat to us." Warren's face became a little dignified, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his pursed lips formed a stern arc.

"Are you going to build a guard?" Lan asked suspiciously.

The army of the people on earth can be roughly divided into four categories. According to the combat effectiveness, they are the federal regular army, local security forces, mercenaries, and chamber of commerce guards.

Among them, the Federal Regular Army has the longest history and the most brilliant record.This army has not only confronted many alien forces head-on, but also successfully disintegrated the two largest human separatist activities in history.But at present, the whereabouts of this army is a mystery. No one except the high-level federal government knows where it is stationed, and it has not been seen in public for a full 200 years.

The local security forces belong to various business circles and are the main force for maintaining peace within the sphere of influence of the earthlings.The command of the local security forces generally belongs to the highest administrator in the business circle.In areas where the federal jurisdiction is not favorable, this army maintained by the taxation of the business circle has basically become the private army of the administrator.This is the greatest reason why administrators enjoy great privileges in business circles.

Usually, the local security forces are stationed on the main star of the business circle, and their routine tasks include defense, suppression of pirates, escort, patrol, and assistance in law enforcement, etc.Its activity range is within 20 light-years around the main star of the business circle, and except for special circumstances, it must ensure that more than 60% of its troops are stationed on the main star.The old tavern star that Warren passed by had no choice but to ask for help from the Federation when it was under siege, because the old tavern star was too far away from Bethel, and the local security forces would not be dispatched for such a thing.

Most of the mercenaries are separated from the formally organized troops for various reasons.As the name suggests, they rely on wages they receive to sustain their military expenditures.Although each mercenary had to go through a unified review by the Federation and issue a qualification certificate, a large part of the tasks they accepted fell into the gray area, wandering on the edge of the law.

The last category of the human army, the chamber of commerce escort, is generally less effective than the first three, but it cannot be ruled out that a small number of large chambers of commerce have considerable force.The chamber of commerce escort is mainly used to defend the territory of the chamber of commerce, escort merchant ships, strike or counterattack hostile forces.Since this type of army is entirely supported by the Chamber of Commerce's own funds, it is generally proportional to the size of the Chamber of Commerce.Ordinary small and medium-sized chambers of commerce seldom actually purchase warships to form an army. Most of them will choose to equip a small number of commercial and warships, and increase the attack and defense capabilities of the spaceship by reducing a part of the cargo hold.In Warren's Xiaguang formation, there are two commercial warship frigates.

Judging from the current scale of the Slim Chamber of Commerce, it is too early to form an independent Chamber of Commerce escort.However, Warren intends to collect intelligence first before deciding on future strategies, so this cooperation with the local security forces has become an excellent opportunity to gain access to intelligence in the military field.

Space pirates have always been a serious concern for Warren.Since the Red City is too far away from Bethel, it is impossible for the local guards to play a role in defending the Red City. As his strength gradually increases, he must consider the possibility of being targeted by pirates.Many chambers of commerce relocated their headquarters to the main planet of the business circle as soon as they received permission, partly because it was safer there.But Warren doesn't want to relocate to Bethel en masse.He has a bigger plan, and Hongdu is the urban planet in his plan.This assassination reminded Warren that it was time for military construction.

"I won't build a real escort just yet, but I need intelligence to develop an efficient defense. Find a way to get on that military ship and get it all for me."

blue:"……"

"Lan, you won't tell me this violates federal law, will you?" Warren stared at Lan's profile.

"No." Lan shook his head, "This doesn't violate any laws. I'm just calculating the possibility of completing the mission. I haven't loaded any intelligence collection modules, and such modules are military modules, and I don't have permission to download them. I Nothing comparable has ever been done before."

"so?"

"So I can only complete the task as much as possible." The robot suddenly laughed, "Warren, I will get it all for you."

Warren laughed too: "You can write a module for yourself, and I think your autonomous module is much better than what's out there. If you were a real military robot, you wouldn't be able to get on that ship. Yeah. Now, Lan, what gift do you think I should give Odin?"

"Gift?"

"He saved my life. Without him, I don't think I would have survived the shooting. So I'm going to give him a gift, but what should I give..." Warren showed a slightly distressed look.

"Odin, money and baby products should like it." Lan said seriously.

"Huh? Are you ready to analyze your preferences?"

"This is mine..." Lang paused, and removed the word "feeling". "This is just my analysis based on demand. Just like Charlie probably likes wine and cigars, Bogo likes everything except toothpaste." Anything, but fresh raw meat will not be refused, I think Odin should accept money and baby items as gifts."

"Baby products don't seem to feel sincere, so it's better to give money." Warren touched his chin, and suddenly thought of a question, "What about me? If you want to give me a gift, what will you choose?"

"Probably a new comfortable bed!" Lan said with a smile, "You have mentioned more than once that you want a double bed like the one in the hotel."

"Makes sense." Warren put his hands together in front of his lips and chuckled.

"Gift?"

Odin opened the red box that Warren had left in the room before leaving.A silver necklace lay quietly at the bottom of the palm-sized box, and the pendant of the necklace turned out to be a deep space crystal.Since the deep space crystal cannot be punched, the part connected to the chain is specially made into a wolf claw-shaped bracket.

Thanks to him, he can figure out how to make a necklace with deep space crystals!

However, if you need money or energy urgently, it is also very practical.

The half man smiled and put the necklace around his neck.

The author has something to say: [Small theater about gifts]

"Gift?"

Odin opened the red box that Warren had left in the room before leaving.A package of colorful packaging lay quietly at the bottom of the box.

xx brand baby diapers (for semi-personal use), light and close-fitting, not wet, you are worth having!

"Wo~~~lun~~~!"

The half man hit the table with a punch!
