From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 505: Lubyon Galaxy Chicken Eating Contest

"Are we setting off tonight? The progress is much faster than I expected."

Franklin raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that these "trainees" would not set off so soon, but he did not expect that they would directly follow the Atlas freight fleet after its first delivery.

"It's mainly because the Atlas Group is so efficient. They sent a ship over before the freight fleet arrived, and then sent a group of advance personnel down through orbital airdrops."

There was some disbelief in Eleanor's tone, and it was obvious that she had not expected the progress to be so fast.

"Really, Franklin, I've learned a lot this time. This is the first time I've seen a company airdrop staff directly into a war zone for business.

It was also the first time I saw a company with staff who had the ability to do orbital airdrops. I heard from the person who was there that when this group of staff came, they thought they were paratroopers from the orbit, so our people initially thought Atlas had sent the wrong people.
Compared to the Atlas Group, I think the profit-oriented companies in the Federation are conservative. At least they won’t do such provocative things just for the sake of doing business.”

Eleanor quickly described the situation to Franklin. In short, with the help of this group of "advance" personnel with professional military capabilities, the Renaissance Alliance also quickly selected the first batch of "trainees" to go to the "Tower of Babel" comprehensive training center for training.

In the end, Eleanor couldn't help but praise these Atlas employees from the bottom of her heart, but she still said strangely in the end:

"These Atlas staff are good in every way, except that they seem to be too focused on efficiency. They are meticulous about the execution of the schedule and always talk about things like 'daily KPI', 'current progress', 'performance performance', etc., as if they would die if the task was not completed."

Franklin smiled and said, "Perhaps it is precisely because of their extreme pursuit of 'efficiency' that the progress is much faster than we expected. This is actually a good thing for us, isn't it?"

After the two talked for a while, Eleanor left soon. As Franklin's assistant, she suddenly had a lot of work to do after the Renaissance Alliance and the Atlas Group officially started cooperation.

As Eleanor closed the door, the smile on Franklin's face disappeared, and his whole expression became more solemn.

The depth of cooperation between the Renaissance Alliance and the Atlas Group was actually much deeper than Franklin had expected. In addition to the previously agreed interest-free loans, weapons and equipment transactions, and personnel training, the Atlas Group also obtained a large number of future development privileges and preferential policies on Rubion V.
In exchange for benefits, Atlas will also accept the Renaissance Alliance's "military contracting" project in the future, and assist the Renaissance Alliance's combat forces in subsequent battles - including fleet battles.

In the beginning, Franklin and Amber actually didn't want the Atlas Group to get so deeply involved, but the other senior leaders of the Renaissance Alliance didn't think so. After finally getting such a strong "thigh", they would definitely hold on tightly and not want to let go.

The Renaissance Alliance is obviously not a one-man show by Franklin. Most of the senior executives, including Eleanor, believe that doing so will be of great help to the Renaissance Alliance and will allow the Atlas Group to continue investing in building factories in the future.

Amber obviously didn't expect that the Renaissance Alliance would offer such good conditions, but since the other party had already proposed it, he obviously had no reason to refuse.

As for what Franklin thinks, that is not something he needs to consider.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Renaissance Alliance can become the final winner in the "First Rubion Galaxy Chicken Contest", otherwise nothing can be discussed. It is precisely because of this reason, coupled with the deepening of the cooperation between the two sides, that Amber also sent another small-scale combat fleet to arrive first, and then cooperated with the combat forces of the Renaissance Alliance to quickly capture the "Pillar of Heaven II" orbital elevator.

Although the appearance of Atlas's combat fleet and subsequent large-scale cargo fleet made the fleets of various forces in the orbit of Rubion V nervous, no one dared to come up to interfere or attack.
After all, the kilometer-long "Infinity" in the Atlas Group fleet would quickly dispel the idea of ​​such adventure.

Fleet commanders from all sides have witnessed the power of the Infinity through various channels. No one wants to experience the golden purifying beam that swept across the Federation's Thirteenth Fleet.

The cooperation between the Renaissance Alliance and the Atlas Group has already begun, so even if Franklin had any opinions or ideas, it was useless. He did not continue to think about this matter, but turned to think about more realistic issues.

That's how the Renaissance Alliance will win this 'chicken game'.

Right now, the entire Rubion Galaxy is a hodgepodge of various forces. Not to mention several resource planets and colonial satellites, they have already announced their separation from the jurisdiction of the Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government and started to pursue "independence".

On the most important Rubion V, the "Chicken Eating Competition" is the most intense, and it is also the area where many "heavyweight players" gather.

The first is the autonomous government, which is still the strongest at present. They have a large number of elite garrison troops under their command. They currently control the administrative capital of Rubion No. 5 and a large area to the north, including a large number of heavy industrial parks. This has greatly helped them maintain their leading military strength.

In addition, the Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government is one of the few forces in the galaxy that has an established combat fleet, and it also has the largest number of combat ships.

In the previous "Arctic Confrontation" incident, the autonomous government's combat fleet also confronted the "Rebel Joint Fleet" composed of multiple other forces on its own, and finally gained the upper hand and defeated these fleets.
And after that, there are a large number of "rebels" like the Renaissance Alliance. Some of these different "rebels" are warlords who set up their own factions, and some are corporate alliances who want to fish in troubled waters.

Some others are similar to the "Renaissance Alliance". They are spontaneously organized civilian forces and only have the ability to launch an "armed rebellion" after gaining the participation of some military and police units.

Although everyone is opposed to the federal government and the galaxy autonomous government, unfortunately, compared to the unity of the "rebels" in space, the "rebel" forces on the surface of these planets are basically hostile to each other.

As long as there is a chance, they will not hesitate to swallow up the weak neighbors around them, and then take the opportunity to expand their own power, trying to survive longer in this "chicken-eating competition".

Even though Franklin had previously proposed a "united resistance against the enemy" initiative, hoping that all forces would unite to eliminate the biggest enemy, the Galaxy Autonomous Government, only a few forces responded, and most of them scoffed at the initiative.

Franklin was not sure that he could lead the Renaissance Alliance to the end, because he knew that "belief" was not magic, and it would not protect you from attacks during the battle.

But now after in-depth cooperation with Atlas Group, the situation has quickly become completely different.
