Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 286 Helpless (Update )
"Humph, this won't work, and that won't work either, let's just go back."

Teacher Tang Xuan said irritably.

"I love hearing that! Just go back if you want."

Mia shrugged her shoulders and said, "Anyway, she has made enough money. The sooner she goes back, the sooner she can cash in and sell it for a good price."

"No! Wouldn't that be like giving it up? The school invested a lot of money, manpower, material resources, and technology transfer in that mining area before signing a cooperation agreement with the Abek Kingdom. If we leave empty-handed now, wouldn't that be like a waste of time?"

Fleck replied very unwillingly.

"So what are you going to do? They're clearly trying to eat you, what can you do?"

Mia asked with a sigh.

"These guys are too much. We gave them money, effort and technology, and treated them so well, but they treated us like this. They are simply ungrateful!"

Teacher Chen Yue cursed angrily.

"Don't say that. In their eyes, the materials produced originally belong to them. We are black-hearted capitalists. Why should they give them to us?"

Mia came straight to the point and said it clearly.

When Chen Yue and others heard Mia's words, they fell silent.

In the office of the City Lord's Mansion in the City of Starlight.

Jakkers sat at his desk and asked Secretary Yunrou in a hoarse voice.

"How is the evacuation of personnel and supplies from neutral countries going?"

"Lord Jakkers, the retreat was not smooth, and the recovery of many supplies was blocked. Moreover, many of our people failed to escape from the occupied country and were detained by the Imperial Army. We are now negotiating. However, the negotiation situation is not ideal. The Imperial Army is being arrogant and refuses to admit that they have detained our people. This is the detailed report."

Yun Rou respectfully placed a thick report document on the table.

"I see."

Jakkers looked at the report document that Yunrou placed in front of him with a very tired expression.

Yun Rou looked at this scene and said after some hesitation.

"Master Jakkers, can I ask you a question?"

"Just ask!"

"The Imperial Army is so brutal, neutral countries keep asking us for help, and our people are outraged. Why doesn't the Federation send troops?"

"Fight? How? The people in the Federation are not united at all right now. They are like a pile of loose sand. Everyone has his own plans, and no one will submit to anyone else! Do you think I can mobilize the other two cities, the sixteen districts, and the other nine planets?"

Jakkers asked directly.

Yun Rou was also slightly startled.

Then Jakkers continued to speak to Yunrou.

"Alas, even if everyone is united, do you think we can win? Those neutral countries are either fence-sitters or have extremely poor defenses! If the federal army goes out to fight the imperial army and loses, the next step will be the enemy at the gates, and the federation will be in complete danger! Even if we are lucky and win, you may have forgotten that the imperial army is not the only one in this world, the Kingdom of Apocalypse is also watching. I believe they are happy to stand by and watch, and wait until we and the imperial army are both defeated, and then come to fight us. I can't make the decision on such a matter that involves the fate of the country, and I don't have the ability to make the decision!"

"So what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Of course we have to recover resources and defend our homeland. Our only advantage now is that we can rely on the Black Flame Star defense line to conduct operations on our homeland."

"But we can't keep going like this!"

"Of course I know it's impossible. Now we can only delay time and wait for the Speaker of the Parliament to wake up. Only the Speaker of the Parliament has enough prestige to lead all the people in the Federation to solve the dilemma."

When Jakkers said this, he missed the days when the head of the parliament was here. Even if the sky was broken, he would not be as scared, anxious, and confused as he is now.

"When will the Lord Council President wake up?"

"I do not know either."

When Jakkers said this, he seemed to become even older.

three days later.

Inside Hangar No. 1 of the Akatsuki.

Su Ming stood in front of the Lancer, looking at the students from the Mechanical Maintenance Department who were performing maintenance on the Lancer.

"Wow! What a big chicken rack!"

Kartini followed her mother over and pointed at the Lancer excitedly.

"It's a mecha, not a chicken rack." Su Ming corrected with a smile.

"Um, big brother, is this chicken rack yours?"

"Yes!"

"That's amazing! I wish I could drive too. Then I can protect my mother."

Kartini looked at Su Ming with great admiration.

"When you grow up, you can learn it."

Su Ming smiled and touched Kartini's little head.

Just then, Mia came over, yawning, with a bottle of wine in her hand.

When Hailan saw Mia coming, she quickly took Kartini's hand and said gently.

"Kartini, let's go play over there and don't disturb the big brothers."

"it is good!"

Kartini followed her mother obediently and went to play nearby.

Su Ming turned his head to look at Mia and greeted her with a smile.

"Teacher, what time is it?"

"There's no class today, so who cares what time it is."

Mia replied, taking a sip of her drink.

"Okay, by the way, Sensei. What do we do with this Lancer? They didn't recycle it."

Su Ming hurriedly asked Mia.

"This Lancer is yours. I have asked someone to secretly add this mecha to the boarding record, which means you brought it on board. As for the Iron Guard, I will report it as a battle loss!"

Mia replied very straightforwardly.

"awesome!"

When Su Ming heard Mia's words, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up in response.

"Okay, just don't forget to buy me a drink later."

Mia said very casually.

"Of course, but teacher, the main weapon of my mecha is lost. In order to use the mechanical launcher, I had to throw away the spear. Can you help me get a weapon?"

"You lost your spear, which is a bit troublesome. And the mechanical nail gun in your mecha's hand is useless without the matching spear."

"Yeah, that's why I thought of asking you."

"I don't have any good ideas. You'll probably have to pay for another one. But the lances that come with the Lancers aren't cheap. I remember one costing 1 million federal coins!"

"So expensive?"

When Su Ming heard the price, he felt a little pained.

"You know the pain, right? You threw away 1 million federal coins."

“There was nothing we could do at the time.”

"That's right. Just use it and we'll talk about it when we get back to the academy."

"Okay, but what's the situation now, teacher? Didn't you say that we would transfer the supplies and leave immediately after arriving at the Kingdom of Abaike? But three days have passed and there is no movement at all, and we are not allowed to disembark."

"Don't mention it. Something happened."

Mia replied angrily.

"What happened?"

Su Ming asked curiously after hearing Mia's words.
