Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1286 Someone is trying to lure me in?

"how is this possible?"

"What are those idiots in the Pirate Alliance good for?" Upon receiving the news, the leaders of the Black Rose Pirate Crew and the Bald Head Pirate Crew cursed loudly.

The two group leaders were quite happy just now because they had looted a lot of things.

The price of goods within the pirate territory has skyrocketed, partly due to increased escort efforts by various countries.

On the other hand, the pirates suffered heavy losses in their battles against the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh.

The number of lost warships was large, but the proportion of human casualties was not high; Lee John's side basically released all the people they encountered.

The majority of the pirate population still comes from the various bases.

On the one hand, fewer pirates went out to plunder and gain loot; on the other hand, the population decline was less significant, and the pirates suffered greater losses, so the price of goods naturally rose.

The intelligence for this mission was all provided by the Pirate Alliance.

The two guild leaders started cursing in the Alliance's virtual meeting room, but the Pirate Alliance simply said, "The intelligence we provided was very accurate. You have completed your mission. Your retreat route is none of our business."

The pirate alliance's words infuriated the two pirate captains, because the pirate alliance was right.

Because the pirate crews distrusted each other and the pirate alliance, they went their separate ways after the robbery.

Yang Bo knew the retreat routes of the two pirate groups because one of their E-class warships was the first warships from the other four pirate groups to cooperate with them.

As a result, four pirate crews rose up, and with more warships, they phased out some of their own.

Because at the time, these pirate groups granted John Lee surveillance privileges. As for Yang Bo, that freak, if you grant me privileges, can't I at least put something in your warship?

Furthermore, Yang Bo had removed the permissions of these people from the captured warships, so he must have tampered with them as well.

If Yang Bo were willing, he could quickly gain control of all the warships handled by these four pirate groups.

However, Yang Bo usually wouldn't, because the Empire and the Alliance Federation could also control the programs inside the hardware of these warships.

The warships I acquire in the future will require replacement of both hardware and software.

Because the warship's intelligent system and hardware system are too large, pirates do not have the capability to investigate its contents.

If pirates had that kind of skill, they could earn more by hacking and extorting other companies than by robbing them.

"Eight minutes left, get out of my Class C warship, or I'll blow it all up!" John Lee's arrogant voice echoed from the Pirate Alliance's virtual conference room.

There were pirate crews here who had been robbed by Lee John, and they were speechless when they heard Lee John's arrogant words.

There was a time when this shameless and utterly despicable guy claimed his pirate crew as his own and then kicked his men out.

They also have to voluntarily relinquish control, or they will be attacked by Lee John's energy cannon.

"That despicable bastard, who's the real pirate here!" The pirate captain, whose crew had been robbed by John Lee, cursed under his breath, but he felt a sense of satisfaction. The humiliation he had suffered was now being inflicted on others.

Pirates were inherently a disorganized group, with virtually no trust among themselves.

They can't stand seeing others do well.

The leaders of both the Black Rose Pirate Crew and the Bald Head Pirate Crew are heartbroken.

He wanted his men to rebel against John Lee, but he was also afraid that John Lee would wipe them out.

“John Lee, that damned bastard, he’s a federal general.”

"This guy is even more pirate-like than us pirates!"

"When we catch this guy, we'll definitely teach him a lesson."

"Why are you so unlucky to have run into this bastard?"

"That bastard is so lucky!"

"Who can argue with that? This bastard used to be just a small shareholder in a company, and in such a short time he became the governor of a planet."

"This guy is simply the nemesis of us pirates."

"You people on the council are really something. You know perfectly well that John Lee is not someone to mess with, so why didn't you send someone to keep an eye on him?!"

"We pirates have suffered losses at his hands time and time again."

"The spies you trained and planted in our pirate crew are better placed with John Lee!"

"Exactly!" The pirate leaders in the virtual conference room offered their opinions to the Pirate Alliance Council.

The secretary of the Pirate Alliance Council shook his head and said, "We sent people to Calaya a long time ago, but John Lee is very afraid of death. Even after returning to Calaya, he often stays on the warship."

"Moreover, John Lee is a very cunning person. No one knows his whereabouts at all, not even his closest friends."

"It has to be said that these people who grew up in the Federation are all very terrifying psychologically."

"Besides, this time it was really just bad luck. Didn't the Witch Pirates leave smoothly?"

No one from the Witch Pirates is here, and no one from the Witch Pirates is currently in contact, meaning the Witch Pirates are safe now.

After looting, these pirates would each plan their own routes and leave the area.

"Abandon ship!" The leaders of the Black Rose Pirate Gang and the Bald Head Pirate Gang had no choice but to issue the order to abandon their warships.

Right now, John Lee only needs two Class C warships.

The E-class warship, which has already been destroyed, has not only lost the warship but also its crew.

However, at that moment, John Lee's voice came from the virtual conference room again.

"Next, I will continue to attack your other warships. If you abandon your warships within two minutes, I will forgo the supplies on them."

"Anyway, these supplies are stolen goods, and I'll have to return them to the other party after I get them."

The Black Rose Pirate Crew and the Bald Head Pirate Crew quickly gave orders to their respective first vice-captains.

The virtual meeting room can hear John Lee's voice, but John Lee cannot hear the voices from this side.

These pirates certainly understood what John Lee meant. The pirate gang had robbed the Masonic State Consortium of its property, and if John Lee took it back, the Masonic State Consortium might demand that he return it.

Everyone knows about the conflict between John Lee and Madhya Pradesh, which means that if they give up now, they can still recover some losses.

Yang Bo looked at the Black Rose and Bald Head pirate crews and abandoned their Class C warships.

They then granted access to the Class C warships and subsequently released all the looted supplies from the warships into space.

Then they changed the direction of the two warships.

All personnel on the warship left the warship on a communication boat.

The people on the pirate ship breathed a sigh of relief!

In fact, the people in the pirate crew would rather run into John Lee than the regular army.

Because last time they encountered the regular army of Madhya Pradesh, they basically destroyed both their men and their warships.

Even after some people escaped from the life pods, they were directly wiped out by the regular army of Madhya Pradesh.

Although meeting John Lee was frustrating, at least he was still alive.

Yang Bo's three C-class warships lined up to pursue the two pirate groups' C-class warships.

Because the two sides were quite far apart, and the pirate crew's C-class warships were automatically controlled, although they were already slowing down, the distance between them was still over two million kilometers. Yang Bo's three C-class warships accelerated, and in addition, Yang Bo had remotely gained control of two more C-class warships.

The remaining warships of the Black Rose Pirate Crew and the Bald Head Pirate Crew were busy collecting the abandoned cargo, watching helplessly as John Lee's three Class C warships swaggered past them.

Of course, this is what we see on radar, because the actual distance between the two sides is at least several hundred thousand kilometers.

The Black Rose Pirates and the Bald Head Pirates lost one E-class warship and two C-class warships. They only lost part of the crew on the E-class warship because some of the crew members were unable to evacuate in time, while the others evacuated quickly afterward.

Yang Bo successfully acquired two more Class C warships!
Then Yang Bo rushed off to the next place to fleece the pirates.

Meanwhile, in another location, the Witch Pirates are gathering with three other pirate groups.

These four pirate groups were targeting a squadron of the Madhya Pradesh fleet.

The Pirate Alliance and the Federal State of Madhya are now engaged in almost full-scale warfare.

The two sides have now reached a point where it's almost a fight to the death.

Of course, Yang Bo knew that the Empire and the Alliance behind the Pirate Alliance had a great deal of influence.

Of course, more importantly, the Pirate Alliance Council found that fighting Madhya Pradesh had many benefits.

If the Madhya Pradesh fleet wins, it will weaken the pirate group's strength.

For the Pirate Alliance Council, some pirate groups are too powerful and somewhat disobedient.

Therefore, regardless of winning or losing, the Pirate Alliance Council is the winner.

If a pirate crew loses, its strength will be weakened, and it will no longer be able to oppose any resolutions of the Pirate Alliance Council.

If the pirate crew wins, then the Pirate Alliance Council will also be a winner, because most of the supplies looted by the pirate crew will have to go through the council as a transit point!

There's nothing we can do about it, even though in theory pirate crews can trade with each other.

But this kind of deal is like a gangster deal; you're afraid I'll double-cross you, and I'm afraid you'll double-cross me.

On whose territory and where will the transaction take place? And how will the funds be protected after the transaction?

So everyone is very worried.

Therefore, 99% of pirates, after plundering supplies, would put the excess supplies on the council for trading.

This was also caused by the lack of trust between pirate groups.

Moreover, the Pirate Alliance Council has a very strong intelligence network.

However, Yang Bo felt that there seemed to be some problems with the cooperation between the Witch Pirate Crew and the other three pirate crews!

Because Yang Bo not only had a thorough understanding of the intelligence in the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh, but also had a relatively good understanding of the Pirate Alliance.

The four pirate groups were heading in directions that did not include any Federation fleets.

Therefore, Yang Bo suspected that these four pirate groups were probably a test conducted by the Pirate Alliance.

Because every time the pirate crew encounters him, they suffer a loss.

The pirate alliance had long suspected an internal intelligence leak.

The pirate alliance will definitely have to react.

If Yang Bo suspected it was a trap or something, why did he still go?
Yang Bo believed that if the pirate alliance was trying to lure them in, then they must have other hidden methods.

In other words, the pirate alliance probably has a backup plan.

Having prepared a backup plan means that there are more pirate groups hiding in the shadows or other armed forces.

Yang Bo wanted to join in the fun.

So Yang Bo anonymously sent an email to the intelligence department of Madhya Pradesh.

Yang Bo plans to have Madhya Pradesh act as the fish that takes the bait.

If the Pirate Alliance has a backup plan, then the Madhya Pradesh will take the bait, and the Pirate Alliance will have to use that plan.

Then we'll wait for Madhya Pradesh and the pirate alliance to fight again.

He will wait until Madhya Pradesh and the Pirate Alliance have finished fighting before launching another attack on the Pirate Alliance and its pirate crews.

This way, he wouldn't be afraid of being suspected, because once the Madhya Pradesh and the pirate alliance started fighting, the news would naturally spread.

The president and vice president were furious because a transport fleet had recently been robbed by pirates, and all the people on board had been taken away.

Even the transport ships were all destroyed!

These transport ships are also very valuable, not to mention the cargo on board and the many people who have been lost.

News of John Lee's robbery of the Black Rose pirate crew and the Bald Head pirate crew's C-class warship has not yet spread.

Because John Lee didn't stream, and the Pirate Alliance was too embarrassed to bring it up themselves.

The president and vice president are also in a real bind right now.

The armed forces of Madhya Pradesh are strong, but the people are not.

Although Madhya Pradesh still has several main fleets, only three are operational.

These three main fleets were completely helpless against those elusive pirates.

The main fleet appeared on the foreheads of these pirates.

Without a main fleet, these pirates swarmed in.

Commercial activities in Madhya Pradesh cannot rely entirely on three main fleets.

Madhya Pradesh now harbors deep hatred for the other states!

The main problem is that Madhya Pradesh has been too harsh on other states in the past.

Previously, the vast majority of federal tax revenue was used by Madhya Pradesh.

The Madhya Pradesh is currently in a state of chaos due to piracy, while the other states are secretly delighted.

At that moment, the intelligence department of Madhya Pradesh received an anonymous tip.

This indicates that the pirate alliance has discovered that four pirate groups have gathered in a certain location.

The president and vice president were both somewhat doubtful, unsure whether the intelligence was true or false.

"Do you think this intelligence is true or false?" the federal president asked the director of the Federal Intelligence Service directly!
"I personally believe this intelligence is true because it is so detailed. It not only lists the names of four pirate groups but also provides detailed fleet configurations!"

"So who do you think it is? Could the message they sent us be a trap?" the federal vice president asked again.

"I think it's an internal conflict within the pirate alliance!"

"The pirate groups within the Pirate Alliance are not only not united, but some are even enemies!"

"Moreover, the Pirate Alliance is actually quite wary of some of the stronger pirate groups. There have been reports that the Pirate Alliance would actively weaken the power of some of the stronger pirate groups."

"Unfortunately, our people can't get any information from the pirate alliance," the head of the federal intelligence department said.
