the days before i bought the galaxy

After the secret mobilization meeting ended, the enthusiasm of the entire Slim family was unprecedentedly high.

In just two weeks, Warren established his first Chamber of Commerce escort.The entire convoy consists of four medium-sized military ships and twelve small military ships, all of which are equipped with the most advanced heavy weapons.After a whole round of talent scouting, he finally got all the command and operations personnel.Due to insufficient personnel, most of the auxiliary armor and fighters that should have been operated by the crew have been replaced by unmanned fighters that can be controlled remotely.Among them, Lan alone can control more than [-] aircraft.All kinds of missiles, artillery, monitoring and communication equipment are installed in various strategic locations around the Red Capital.

The training for the Clark Germans was equally effective.Bogo referred to the fighting style left on the eggshell of each Clarke star, and equipped all the crocodile fighters with the most suitable melee weapons.At the same time, in order to enhance the ability of long-distance combat, he ordered everyone to start practicing the use of firearms.A batch of firearms transformed by engineers have become the special weapons of Clarke Germans.The establishment of the Clarke Star Guards ensured the ground defense capability of the Red Capital.All the major traffic crossings are jointly managed by the earthlings and the Clarke stars, in case one of them makes mistakes.

At the same time, a large number of materials were secretly transported to Hongdu, among which robots of various types accounted for a considerable proportion.Warren believes that in the case of relative shortage of personnel, robots can quickly fill vacancies without worrying about loyalty issues.Some robots were sent to build underground warehouses and various defense facilities.Charlie selected eleven secret locations for storing supplies.Another part of the robots is responsible for driving the miniature spacecraft to establish a monitoring network and a dense laser mine network around the red capital.To Warren's regret, buying a military version of the robot requires a special permit, and he can't buy one commercially.Although smuggled goods are not without, they are far inferior to authentic products in terms of safety and reliability, and there is no guarantee that the kernel program has been modified.

In this way, an efficient defense system is quietly taking shape around Hongdu.Of course, all this is not without cost. Warren has already used a small half of the first batch of deep space crystals mined back.Although he could temporarily appropriate Milit's half, he did not intend to do so.

It's all going on under Montgart's watch.Because Warren claimed that he was transferring resources from other planets to prepare for the overall relocation of the Chamber of Commerce, a large number of spaceships took off and landed and did not make Menggalt suspicious.The only thing to pay attention to is to hide the battleship and all combatants, and maintain the status quo of the Red Capital on the surface.This is not difficult for the local snake. After all, Menggalt is only responsible for responding quickly when encountering danger and protecting Warren's safety, and will not send people to monitor the entire planet.

At 5:17 pm on May 4th, a large number of yellow clouds hung over Hongdu, and even a large-scale environmental modification system could not drive these clouds away.Human beings can change the composition of the air on a planet, but they cannot completely change the climate of a planet. While everyone is stepping up their work, they are also looking forward to a dust rain.

The large-scale dust rain in Hongdu can last up to three days.When the dust rain passes, the sky will return to a clear blue sky, and the yellow soil falling on the ground can sometimes be as high as half a meter.There is a special substance in these soils, which is as delicate and soft as stepping on porcelain embryos, and will not stick to the feet at all.

Dust rain is a unique self-purification process of the planet itself, which greatly reduces the content of harmful substances in the air and at the same time fertilizes the land.The only downside is that before the dust rain comes, the air pressure will always drop very low, making people feel uncomfortable when they want to sweat but can't.

In short, on such a day to welcome the arrival of heavy rain, the control tower of Hongdu Airport received a red alert marked as the highest priority.The navigator's face changed drastically after reading the content of the alert, and he immediately requested to speak to Warren.

"You said Odin is back?" Warren frowned.Odin originally planned to return to the voyage in the evening three days later. What was the reason for his sudden return early?

As Warren expected, for more than a month, his eloquent adjutant successfully persuaded all the developers around the Red City to form a defensive alliance with the Slim family.As batches of weapons were sent to these developers, Warren was able to say that he had obtained many peripheral defensive fortresses.What he currently lacks most is manpower. People are precious resources that regenerate slowly and cannot be bought with money in a short period of time. Compared with them, sending some weapons for free is nothing at all.

"No, to be precise, Mr. Odin sent a message saying that he will arrive in Hongdu at midnight four days later."

Instead, arrive a day later than originally planned?

Warren frowned. "You just said it was a red alert?"

The navigator wiped the sweat from his forehead, he felt a little parched: "Yes. Mr. Odin said that he was followed by pirates. In addition, the real-time communication between us and Bethel was cut off."

Warren's reaction was much calmer than that of the Navigator, who was visibly spooked by the news.It had taken two months for the pirates to rush there, which was better than the worst he could have imagined.Destroying communication channels is a common tactic used by pirates. Fortunately, Millet has been away for more than a month, so she should already be outside the pirates' encirclement.According to the original plan, she would not only bring the escort of the Leslie family, but if the communication was interrupted, she would immediately request the rescue of the Bethel security forces.

"Send me the full text of the message."

It may be that Warren's calm performance made the navigator slightly relieved, and he read the content of the red alert to Warren in a smooth tone.

According to Odin's judgment, the scale of this pirate attack was very unusual.

On the way back to the voyage, Odin received a distress letter from a developer. The other party lost contact with Odin only in time to say that he was attacked by a large group of pirates.He immediately tried to communicate with Bethel in real time and found that the communication had been cut off.From this point of view, the pirates have at least occupied Bethel's side and have established a communication shielding network.Odin did not continue to wait for other news, but took the initiative to contact all the developers around the incident site to make them more vigilant.

The next few attacks took Odin by surprise.He found that pirates had at least three strands, and each strand was powerful. All the developers who were attacked could not survive for an hour.The opponent is coming fiercely, and the target is directly at Hongdu. According to this speed, they will come to the city in three to four days.

Things have gotten to the point where small developers are doing nothing to stop pirates.In order to reduce the loss, Odin decisively instructed all the developers on the route of the pirates to immediately retreat to the direction of Hongdu.At this time, the only way to escape the catastrophe is to temporarily abandon the planet.After all, pirates don't know how to develop resources, and after they retreat, they can go back again.

In addition, Odin also decided to stay in the rear for the time being, trying to delay the pirates and buy time for their retreat.He issued a red alert, hoping that Warren would be ready to defend and receive asylum seekers at any time.

"You said he intends to use four commercial warships to stop an unknown number of pirates in three directions?"

Warren's cold tone made the navigator tremble with fear.He secretly calculated the time and found that if Odin maintained the original plan to return, he should arrive more than 12 hours earlier than the pirates.But if Odin's planned arrival time is four days later at midnight, it is likely that he and the pirates arrived one after the other.

Stupid decision!What will he use to stop the pirates?This is simply a joke with life!

"Mr. President..." The navigator's forehead began to sweat again.

"Understood, continue with your work!" Warren nodded and ended the communication.

The dust rain in the sky is about to fall, and the dull feeling is almost suffocating.But in this way, opening the protective shield above the entire planet becomes less easy to be discovered.

After ending the call, Warren immediately declared a state of war.He ordered to open the protective cover, and all the spacecraft returned immediately. Once it was confirmed that all personnel had entered the red capital, the tens of millions of laser mines and tens of thousands of laser defense towers deployed around them would be activated.Everyone in the Slim family was in a very good mood, without much panic, probably because they had just undergone training, and their tension was relatively moderate.

Now, Warren has to do something else.He needed to visit Menggalt, because once a large number of spaceships from the non-Slim family landed in the Red Capital, it would be impossible for the local security forces not to find something unusual.Instead of waiting until that time to let the senior general of the security forces know that he was put together by Mirit, it is better to have an open and honest talk with him now.

Warren is very clear about the force in his hands, and he will not fantasize about thinking that with four medium-sized warships, his combat effectiveness is four times that of Montgart.In the absence of experienced combatants, his air power was probably only comparable to Montgart's frigates.So at this time, whether Menggalt is fully on his side becomes extremely important.

"Lan, come with me to see Montgart." Warren said to the robot standing beside him. "Also, tell Bogo that he will be responsible for settling the asylum seekers from other planets."

Lan was taken aback by this order: "Wouldn't it be better to let Charlie do it? Those people are all from Earth, and Charlie has always been in charge of dealing with people from the surrounding planets."

"No, that's why we can't let Charlie show up first." Warren smiled and said, "Crocodiles look much scarier than humans. This is an extraordinary time. We must calm down the situation first, lest these people not only be unappreciative We still think that we caused the disaster. After Bogo and the Clarke star people settle them down, let Charlie come forward to appease them, and check whether there are pirates among these people."

"Okay, I will notify them." Lan nodded and started the airship.

Ten minutes later, Warren stood at the door of Montgart's villa.

"Please inform Captain Montgalt on your behalf. Because of the urgency, the president of our club needs to meet with him immediately." Lan stepped forward to talk to the orderly guarding the door.

The other party seemed to be very familiar with Lan, and went directly to the villa to report the news without asking any questions.Montgart was painting in the living room at this time.Disturbed by the low air pressure that had lingered all day, he finally decided to ask the orderly to take out the oil paints and begin to paint calmly. The object of his sketch was a model of an ancient airplane.

"Let them in."

Bad weather had created a bad association in Montgart, culminated in the rain of dust that fell the instant Warren walked into the living room.

"Is it a pirate?" Montgart's voice seemed very small in the storm, and the orderly hurriedly closed the doors and windows with his voice.

Warren nodded: "The news I just got is that there are at least three bands of pirates who will arrive in Hongdu as soon as midnight the day after tomorrow."

"I see. Now, are you willing to tell me what attracted the pirates?" As if to vent his anger, Montgart raised his voice, overshadowing the people who were gradually isolated outside the villa. rain.

"That's why I'm here," Warren said, looking frankly into Montgart's eyes.
