the days before i bought the galaxy

Hongdu, the command module of Xiaguang——

"The indemnity of the Rudick family has arrived. The current reconstruction progress of the Red City is 87%. I hope that we can increase some active defense facilities in the Red City while we have the money. The compensation plus a part of the deep space previously obtained Crystal mines, and maybe the money in the Leslie Chamber of Commerce vaults, we've got a ton of cash to work with right now, what are your plans, Warren? Luckily the mining rigs that were up for order haven't been placed yet, otherwise we'd have About to lose money. Warren? Warren?"

"Huh?" Warren looked up as if waking up from a dream.

"If you plan to stare at the 'tin head' in heat all day, then you don't have to do any work!" Odin gritted his teeth at Warren dissatisfied.

"Is it obvious?"

"It's so obvious that I smell the fishy smell of someone eating meat for the first time early in the morning!" the half man said through gritted teeth.

Noticing the movement here, Charlie and Bogo immediately lowered their heads and started to do their work. Although the pink bubbles on Warren's body had filled the entire control cabin, they didn't have the courage to speak out like Odin.

"And you deliberately asked someone to move the captain's seat back. Anyone with eyes can see what your plans are!" Odin continued to expose Warren's "evil deeds".

Originally, the position of the captain of the Xiaguang was closest to the screen, followed by the position of the adjutant and the navigator.But now, after Warren moved his seat back, he could see directly into Blue's back.Even though he knew that Warren didn't do this to stare at him, the naked gaze from behind still made Odin very annoyed.

"I thought you approved of Lan's new relationship with me?" Warren smiled and took a sip of his coffee, "Didn't this happen on your suggestion?" Warren's eyes didn't immediately turn to the robot's back.Lan was seriously designing the new defense system of Hongdu, and his straight back gave Warren an urge to touch it.

"..." Odin was a little speechless. "That's without affecting the work!" He growled in a low voice.

"Me, I'll pay attention." Warren was in a great mood, his eyes narrowed into a line, "What did you just say?"

Odin took a deep breath to calm down, and then began to repeat what he had just said: "The Ruddick family's compensation has arrived, a total of 32 deep space crystals, plus the more than 10 deep space crystals we originally had, and Leslie's treasury. We have about 50 deep space crystals in cash, how do you plan to use this money?"

"30.00% of the indemnity will be taken as a pension and distributed to all the dead and wounded. If there is anything that can be compensated for by the Clarke German Stars, they should do their best. For all developers who suffered property losses in pirate attacks, Compensation will be paid at three times the price. Inform everyone that I will make a speech at twelve o'clock noon and announce the entire incident."

"Wait a minute, do you really want to announce it? Warren, I don't agree with you." Odin frowned and said, "Even for my own people, I tend to find an excuse to muddle through, otherwise it will definitely damage To your prestige. As for those irrelevant people, they just happened to be involved, and the three times the compensation, this price is a bit too high in my opinion."

"Do you think letting everyone know that the president of the Slim Chamber of Commerce was used by others, and he almost got his life but got nothing, will this happen to endanger my prestige?" Warren asked rhetorically.

"There is no doubt about it. They trust you blindly now, especially after the victory of the defense of the Red City. If you announce this kind of thing, they will doubt your ability. Personally, I think that although you can find an excuse to explain It is very difficult to lose the deep space crystal mine you got, but you still need to maintain your image."

"Odin, have you ever thought that blind trust itself is an extremely dangerous thing. I am also a human being, and I will make mistakes. If I become incapable of independent thinking because of too much trust in me, it will be very dangerous for Slim. It is harmful to the chamber of commerce. This time it is indeed my judgment that made a mistake, and I must take responsibility for it. A lie needs countless lies to support, and I don’t want to spend effort to establish a false image. As for what you said Those 'outsiders', it is a fact that they were involved because of my underestimation. If I succeeded in obtaining the deep space crystal mine, they would not get extra wealth. I have used them once, let them Is it too selfish to send them away with a small sum of money to become a barrier on the outskirts of Hongdu? After knowing the truth of the matter, some of them may still not forgive me, but at least I have asked my heart No shame."

"...Okay, you convinced me, I will notify everyone." Odin nodded, he paused, and said with some hesitation, "Warren, don't pay too much attention to the war."

"Huh?" Warren raised an eyebrow.

"There are bound to be casualties in wars, the important thing is that we can survive." Odin said in a rare serious tone, "At least we have obtained all the property of the Leslie Chamber of Commerce, so that the Slim family can already be regarded as a medium-sized chamber of commerce. , and obtained a lot of real estate in Bethel that is currently difficult to buy. In fact, with your talent, you can definitely earn more wealth than a mere deep-space crystal mine in your lifetime!" Odin's eyes were filled with The element of consolation is more to complain for Warren.He knows better than anyone the stress Warren is under in this matter.

"You're right, it's just a deep space crystal mine. My goal is something more ambitious." Warren smiled.

"Warren." Lan suddenly reported, "The communication of the Silver Shield family, the other party is Alfred, the first lieutenant of the Silver Shield family."

Warren: "Come in."

A black-haired man about 25 years old soon appeared on the big screen.His face was somewhat narrow, and his facial features were very deep. The most surprising thing was that, as the first lieutenant of the Yindun family, he turned out to be a half-human, with two pointed black ears sticking out of his head.

"what?"

Both Odin and the man on the screen look surprised when they see each other, though the latter immediately reverts to his formulaic face.

"Hello, I'm Alfred, the first lieutenant of the Silver Shield family, and I'm also the commander of the Red Capital operation. You must have received a communication from Mirit Leslie and know the details of this incident." The whole story. Here, on behalf of the Yindun family, I would like to express my sympathy for your loss, but at the same time, I hope that you can understand that since the deep space crystal mine involved in this matter is not within your territorial scope, what Yindun has done None of the federal laws have been violated, we just had a fair deal with Miss Millet Leslie. Nevertheless, Master Heinrich of our chamber of commerce has decided to give 5% of the total value of the deep space crystal mine to %, about 9120 million deep space crystals will be given to you as compensation. This money is already on my spaceship, and you can choose to take it now, or have Silver Shield deposit the money to a reliable broker In the financial institution, it will be withdrawn later.”

"Hello, I am Warren Slim, the president of the Slim Chamber of Commerce. Please tell Heinrich that I am very grateful for his kindness, but I have decided to declare war on the Silver Shield family, so the money is still reserved. It's better with him."

"What did you say?" Alfred was taken aback by Warren's answer.In his eyes, Heinrich's decision this time was somewhat suspected of overemphasizing the Slim Chamber of Commerce, but the other party would object, which was beyond his expectation.

"I mean, when I beat Silver Shield in the future, I will ask him to return the money to me with interest." The smile on Warren's face did not change at all.

"Do you really want to declare war on the Silver Shield family, Master Heinrich?"

The picture freezes at the moment when Alfred turns his head back, and shortly thereafter, the character on the picture is replaced by a boy with black hair and black eyes.

"Hello, I am Heinrich Wilhelm Alsobert von Padua Silver Shield, the current head of the Silver Shield family." The young man's face was like the most exquisite porcelain in the world, and his black eyes were like precious stones shining brightly.He exudes unparalleled self-confidence all over his body, but he doesn't make people feel that there is any element of arrogance.

"Huh? It's you?" Warren couldn't help being a little surprised.This was clearly the same person who had warned him not to approach Mirit at the administrator's dinner.Warren at the time dismissed the possibility that they were the same person because their appearance did not match the age of the Silver Shield heir.

"We met again." Heinrich's complexion was much better than when he met Warren last time. His skin was no longer nearly translucent, and his face was slightly rosy. "Are you going to declare war on Silver Shield? At what level?" He didn't seem surprised by Warren's decision.

The hostile state between chambers of commerce does not refer to fighting in the true sense. It is divided into three types according to the level of declaration of war. In the case of declaring war at the highest level, the respective allies of the chamber of commerce will also be classified as hostile camps. The intensity was comparable to a bloodless war.

"I'm going to declare war on Silver Shield," Warren said calmly.In the case of a declaration of war at the first level, the Slim Chamber of Commerce will be suppressed by Silver Shield and all of Silver Shield's allies, and will not be able to trade in any planet or spaceport that has signed a cooperation agreement with Silver Shield.

"Has it been decided?" Heinrich frowned slightly.

Warren nodded.

"It's a pity, it looks like we'll have to wait a long time before we get a chance to drink together."

"Just wait until the day when the winner is decided." Warren smiled, "I thought you didn't like drinking with me."

"I'm just not used to toasting strangers." Heinrich's implication is that Warren no longer belongs to the category of strangers. "So, what are your plans for the future?" he asked casually.

"Although Millet thinks that money is the root of all evil, for me, money is a very important thing that can be used to change the world. In order to win or lose with you as soon as possible, I think I should use Bethel is on the move for the stronghold."

"In this case, Silver Shield has many industries on the first, second, and fourth planets of Bethel. In order not to be suppressed and blocked, I suggest you develop in other directions." Heinrich said.

Warren smiled: "You seem like the type to be ruthless with your enemies."

"Of course, the enemies of Silver Shield are my enemies."

Heinrich cut off the communication quite simply.

Hours later, Warren addressed the entire Red City crowd.In this speech, he stated in an objective tone the whole story of the Red Capital Defense War, and issued a statement on the issue of pensions and compensation.At the end of his speech, he made a first-order declaration of war on the Silver Shield family.

At the time, this declaration of war was as ridiculous as a mayfly declaring that it wanted to shake a big tree, but people were surprised and raised a strange expectation for Warren.No matter in which era, those who shake authority by their own power will be regarded as heroes.The Silver Shield has been glorious for too many years, and mankind is looking forward to the rise of a new star...

The author has something to say: the third volume of "Battle of the Red City" is over. Congratulations to Warren for finally eating Lan! [Applause for 3 minutes, slap, slap, slap, pal Odin is really getting more and more arrogant.
