Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1396 is rather tricky.
“Mr. 9527?” Zhang Han was still a little worried inside the transport ship, fearing that it was a trap.

Zhang Han was also prepared; wasn't the transport ship carrying energy stones?
If it's a trap, then you'll have to threaten to detonate those energy stones.

If these energy stones are detonated, then the enemy warships will definitely not be able to escape if they are too close.

"It's me!" Yang Bo pretended to be Third Master.

While maintaining contact with 9527, Zhang Han attempted to analyze the characteristics of the enemy warship through signal analysis.

The other side possesses a Class C warship, but the signal characteristics of this Class C warship are not recorded in any publicly available information or in the Federation military's systems.

"May I ask your name, sir?" Zhang Han asked again over the communication channel.

The two parties are currently communicating in encrypted form.

"It's just a title. I want to see the goods first." Yang Bo was both skilled and daring, and he didn't take the other party's transport spaceship seriously at all.

"Sir, are you here to take a look?" Zhang Han didn't know how the other party wanted to inspect the goods.

"I'll just take a fighter jet over here!"

"Okay." That's how it was agreed between the two parties.

Two hours later, Yang Bo boarded the transport ship by fighter jet.

The main issue is the distance between the two spaceships, even though they are in the same star system.

Yang Bo will only activate his fighter jets once the two spacecraft have come within a certain distance.

Zhang Han personally greeted them at a hatch on the transport ship, while the fighter jets were parked at an external hardpoint outside the spacecraft.

People entered through the ship's hatches.

"General Zhang, congratulations!" Yang Bo greeted Zhang Han from afar as soon as the cabin door opened.

Because there was no one else around Zhang Han.

Zhang Han used a transport ship to transport the standard energy stone this time.

That's because transport ships don't need more people.

There were only a few of Zhang Han's trusted confidants on the transport ship.

"I have to thank you for all of this, sir!" Zhang Han looked at the other person and couldn't recall any information about him. Of course, it was also possible that the other person had used a disguise drug.

"General Zhang is truly capable!" Yang Bo was also very curious about how many standard energy stones Zhang Han had obtained.

"Hehe, may I ask your name, sir?" Zhang Han asked again.

You can call me Third Master!

"General Zhang must have heard of my other name, which is the leader of the Silver Moon Pirates." Yang Bo disguised himself as the leader of the Silver Moon Pirates.

Upon hearing this introduction, Zhang Han immediately realized why this guy had offered him information.

The dispute between the Silver Moon Pirates' leader and the Pirate Alliance had already spread far and wide.

They even kidnapped, beat, and extorted elders from the Pirate Alliance's council.

"Third Master is indeed amazing!"

"When I first heard that Third Master had beaten up the elders who had kidnapped and extorted the pirate alliance, I knew he was someone special," Zhang Han said, offering a small compliment.

"Haha, if these elders weren't puppets, I would have killed them long ago."

"But these guys are all puppets. If you kill them, someone else will just come up and take their place. It's no fun." Yang Bo laughed arrogantly.

"General Zhang, if there's anything you need, I'm happy to help," Yang Bo said as he followed Zhang Han inside.

Zhang Han understood what Yang Bo meant, so he asked, "If something were to happen to me, what would you do, Third Master?"

"It's very simple!"

"If General Zhang has any competitors, we can also help him eliminate them!"

"General Zhang must have many rivals, both within his family and in the army!"

"The solution is simple: encounter pirates and get robbed!" Yang Bo said as he walked.

"Is Third Master capable of dealing with a squadron?" Zhang Han was subtly trying to find out the other party's strength.

"Hehe, let alone a squadron, even a main fleet is no problem!"

"Have you forgotten that your main fleet was defeated by the pirate alliance last time?"

"I can also sell the information to the pirate alliance!"

"I have no problem personally dealing with a squadron."

"Besides, we don't always have to take a hard line. We can just launch a terrorist attack and be done with it," Yang Bo said with a smile.

"..." Zhang Han couldn't refute these words, nor did he know just how strong the other party was.

The two quickly arrived at the adjacent cargo warehouse, where there was zero gravity.

Zhang Han directly controls the smart devices inside the warehouse.

They then presented the standard energy stone to Yang Bo.

The standard energy stone triangle is placed in a container with a special solution.

"General Zhang is indeed incredibly capable!" Yang Bo carefully counted the standard energy stones and discovered that the number of these energy stones was enormous.

"Thank you so much for the information, sir!"

"Without you, sir, I wouldn't be where I am today," Zhang Han said humbly.

Because Zhang Han not only benefited from this incident himself, but also his family and even Madhya Pradesh benefited.

The main problem is that the items the Morning Star Pirate Crew brought this time were too sensitive: clones of the Emperor and other famous figures.

There are even clones of many families in the Alliance and many nobles in the Empire.

These forces paid a considerable price to reclaim their clones.

Of course, Madhya Pradesh did not go too far, because the situation in Madhya Pradesh is not good right now.

“This is your good luck, General Zhang. To be honest, we didn’t know that the goods transported by the Morning Star Pirates were so sensitive!” Yang Bo said.

"I wonder if Third Master can provide more information, it's very important to me!" Zhang Han asked upon hearing this.

“Of course, we are the closest of partners, and the more unlucky those pirates are, the happier I am.” Yang Bo nodded.

The energy stones brought by Zhang Han are worth 1.2 trillion credits.

Standard energy stones are a form of hard currency internationally.

Yang Bo also knew that Zhang Han had gained more than ten times the benefits this time, but this was all due to Zhang Han's own efforts.

To be honest, it's not good for Yang Bo to get involved in the matter of the Morning Star Pirates himself.

Because on the surface, the profits seem huge, but it also offends quite a few people.

After all, the power behind obtaining biological samples from so many celebrities and members of large families must be extraordinary.

Only official organizations can take on this matter.

Even for someone like John Lee, doing this would be somewhat inappropriate.

Because after John Lee did this, the federal government will not endorse it.

The federal government might do something else in a sarcastic way.

Only someone with Zhang Han's status as a regular soldier would do something like this. After waiting for more than an hour, when the two spaceships were very close, the cargo robot was activated to deliver the standard energy stones directly to the Class C warship.

This cargo robot has its own power system and can move a large cargo container in the vacuum of space and in the weightless environment.

Zhang Han was very anxious because Third Master had not given him any information.

Zhang Han also knew that the standard energy stones he brought out were negligible compared to the benefits he had gained in the last operation.

However, the benefits of the last operation did not only go to myself, but also to others.

"Third Master?"

"If I can achieve merit, then I will have the opportunity to become the commander of a main fleet, so I need your help."

"I think if I were to become the commander of a main fleet, our cooperation would only get better and better."

“If Third Master wants to deal with those pirates, I’ll just bring out my main fleet,” Zhang Han couldn’t help but explain.

Zhang Han knew that the opportunity was rare, and if he acted too late, someone else might snatch it up first.

I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

"I'm going to make you achieve a great feat!" Yang Bo had already released a spiritual seed into the other person while they were talking.

Zhang Han's true feelings were not what he claimed on the surface.

Zhang Han already had a plan in mind: to first use the information provided by Third Master to obtain the position of captain of the main warship.

Then they would turn around and kill Third Master, so that no one would know about his dark past.

Zhang Han knew that becoming the commander of a main fleet was his limit, and there was no way he could go any higher.

The commander of the main fleet already holds the highest position of real power.

While it's said online that military ranks and positions are high, they don't actually have much power.

In the federal government, you need a position with real power to reap the rewards.

Yang Bo knew exactly what kind of people in the Federation were, so he spoke very sincerely on the surface.

Yang Bo was not afraid at all. If Zhang Han came after him, he would just wipe out Zhang Han's main fleet if Zhang Han turned against him!
It just so happens that I'm short of a main warship.

"Thank you, Third Master!"

"Once I become the captain of the main fleet, I have a big reward for you," Zhang Han promised Yang Bo.

"Good!" Yang Bo also released spiritual seeds to several of Zhang Han's confidants.

When the time comes, they can make Zhang Han die however they want.

If Zhang Han continues to obey, then I will keep him.

After completing the cargo transfer, Yang Bo bid farewell to Zhang Han.

Then the two left.

Zhang Han brought out so many energy stones this time, partly as a way to lure people in.

Yang Bo returned to his warship and began to count the energy stones, transferring them all to the underground laboratory of Bart on Devon Star.

Then they discarded the outer packaging of these energy stones, along with other items.

Zhang Han and his trusted confidants quickly left on the transport ship.

Zhang Han was also afraid that the Third Master had other intentions.

Yang Bo wasn't going to give Zhang Han any information anytime soon; he wanted to keep Zhang Han anxious.

Yang Bo is now facing a rather thorny problem: the three Class A warships delivered by the Empire are being escorted by a Federation squadron.

This fleet consists of one Class A warship, two Class B warships, and four Class C warships.

In other words, this escort fleet has a total of 4 Class A warships, although the combat power of the other three Class A warships will be greatly reduced.

However, the A-class warships have the strongest defensive and combat capabilities, second only to capital warships.

Even with only limited access, its combat power is still extremely strong.

After thinking it over, Yang Bo decided to infiltrate the fleet himself.

Although there is already a combined pirate fleet consisting of four pirate crews, including the Hound Pirates!
This pirate fleet had a large number of warships, but they were not in the same class.

Yang Bo didn't want to give up this opportunity, because this kind of thing could only be done once.

Next time, it might be the Empire's main fleet escorting them, with the Federation's main fleet providing support.

So this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if things go well this time, we might even be able to get four Class A warships.

The Empire delivered three Class A warships to the Federation, along with one Class A warship to the Federation's squadron.

"If we can also acquire the main warships from Zhang Han, then our warships in the Second World will be almost complete." Yang Bo calculated that it would be about right.

For an administrative planet, this configuration of warships is sufficient.

Because whether it's the Alliance or the Empire, they all need to think carefully when facing two capital warships.

Although these two countries have the military strength to destroy the Second World.

However, don't forget that the Second World also has two capital warships. If these two capital warships leave directly to seek revenge.

Then the alliance and the empire would be doomed.

Because it is difficult to defend against two main warships.

Defense is easier to handle with administrative stars, since they are fixed.

However, this affects the overall operation of commerce within the country, particularly the transportation of goods and people.

Then it definitely won't be possible to do it.

Of course, doing so would offend another country.

"But I'm afraid that we'll offend the Federation again!"

"After all, both of the main warships will belong to the Federation."

"But then we can use John Lee to hold the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh back." Yang Bo realized that he was getting closer and closer to his ultimate goal.

Then Yang Bo discovered that the email he had sent to the Shui Lan Empire's royal family had received a message that the empire's fleet had escorted three first-class warships away from the empire.

"Sigh!!" Yang Bo sighed inwardly, not expecting the Federation and the Empire to move so quickly this time.

Yang Bo guessed that the emperor of the Blue Ocean Empire was probably behind this.

Last time, my unrestrained mockery probably infuriated the other person.

That's why they had the Federation fleet escort three Class A warships in advance, fearing that their own people might have infiltrated.

Yang Bo's guess was only half right; the emperor was mostly just trying to see who was trying to extort money and how powerful he was.

The emperor also wanted to get information about the scandals involving the politicians in the alliance as soon as possible.

The emperor also had another plan: if those who were blackmailing him couldn't get their hands on the three Class A warships, he would use other means, such as exchanging them for other conditions, and then arrest those people directly.

Yang Bo had no choice but to order the entire Weili pirate crew to ambush the escort fleet.

"It seems I need to prepare other methods." Yang Bo thought for a moment and decided to add some more.

So he controlled the warship to head towards the ambush area. Yang Bo was going to prepare a giant energy bomb inside the ambush area, using the energy stone he had obtained from Zhang Han.
