Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 407: Pulling Teeth from the Tiger's Mouth (Five in One)

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward.

Hai Lan naturally saw the dilemma faced by Su Ming and the others, and said with a helpless sigh.

"Mr. Su Ming, I don't actually want you to help us restore our country. I know this matter is beyond your ability. I just want to ask you to help introduce Lord Luo Kui."

When Su Ming heard Hai Lan say this, he coughed and replied.

"Mrs. Hailan, you came at a really bad time. Most of the troops have gone out to fight, and Commander Luo Kui and his men have also left."

"Ugh!"

Hai Lan sighed in disappointment when she heard Su Ming's words.

"Mother."

Kartini called out worriedly when she saw her mother was so depressed.

"It's fine."

Hailan showed an affectionate look and touched Kartini's head.

Gugu~!

At this moment, Kartini's stomach suddenly growled.

After hearing this, Su Ming smiled and said to Hai Lan and Kartini.

"Mrs. Hailan, Kartini. I think you haven't eaten yet, why don't I treat you to dinner first."

"Really?"

Kartini said very happily.

"Of course it's true, what do you want to eat?"

Su Ming asked as he rubbed Kartini's little head lovingly.

At this time, Hailan spoke with some regret.

"Mr. Su Ming, this is not good. It will cost you a lot of money."

"There's nothing wrong with it. We just got to know each other and have a meal. Besides, we haven't eaten yet. Let's go!"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Okay, excuse me then."

Seeing this, Hailan didn't insist anymore.

"let's go!"

Su Ming and his companions led them outside.

After a while.

Su Ming took them to a high-end beef restaurant.

"welcome."

Two tall waitresses with delicate makeup greeted respectfully.

"Give us a quiet room."

Su Ming gave simple instructions.

"Okay, please follow me."

The waitress led Su Ming and his friends to a private room in the corner of the second floor.

After Su Ming sat down, he picked up the menu and asked Hai Lan and Kartini.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Mr. Su Ming, just order whatever you want."

Hailan replied politely.

Su Ming then handed the menu to the waitress and gave her instructions.

"One signature set meal per person, and serve all your special dishes. Also, we don't need private room service, so don't come in and disturb us.

"Understood. Please wait a moment."

The waitress retreated respectfully.

Before long, plates of exquisite low-temperature steaks were served and filled the entire dining table.

Kartini looked at the meat on the table and couldn't help swallowing.

After seeing this, Su Ming smiled and said.

"Kartini, eat quickly."

"Ok."

When Kartini heard Su Ming's words, she happily picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece and put it in her mouth to chew.

Hailan sat there dignifiedly, watching her daughter eat quietly.

"Mrs. Hailan, you should try some too and see how it tastes."

Su Ming said upon seeing this.

"Ok."

Hailan nodded, picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece of beef, and tasted it.

Su Ming, Rhine and others also picked up their knives and forks and started eating.

However, after Su Ming took a few bites, he saw Hai Lan sitting there with a heavy heart and not eating at all.

Su Ming sighed secretly, raised his bracelet and searched the intelligence database of the General Operations Command for information about the Crimson Country.

Swish!
Dense amounts of information and messages popped up.

He looked at this information and couldn't help but shook his head.

The Crimson Nation is located at the center of the Danube Star Sea. Its geographical location is very important. It is one of the three major transit points in the Dark Star Empire's occupied area. When the Dark Star Empire started the war, the first country to be destroyed was the Crimson Nation.

The one guarding the Crimson Country now is the Deputy Commander of the Dark Star Empire's Third Legion, Avabido. He not only has a large number of troops under his command, but also a star destroyer, the Dark Blood.

In addition, Su Ming also saw a message that the royal family members of the Crimson Kingdom were slaughtered and there was no information about survivors.

Su Ming sighed slightly, then persuaded Hai Lan.

"Madam Hailan, please eat more. As for the restoration of the country, don't be anxious. After all, the Crimson Country has been invaded for more than one or two days. Now the Federation has assembled a large number of troops and also intends to push back. Maybe one day they will overthrow the Crimson Country. There is still a little hope."

"I know, but this is our last hope and we can't miss this opportunity."

Hailan forced a smile.

"But Madam Hailan, I don't quite understand why you are so persistent in restoring the country? After all, most of the royal family members of the Crimson Country have been killed."

Su Ming looked at Hai Lan with some confusion and asked.

Although what he said may not sound pleasant, given Hailan and the others' current situation, it is simply a fantasy to want to restore their country.

Even if the Federation really pushes back against the Crimson Nation, or even takes over the Crimson Nation.

The Federation may not be willing to help them restore their country. After all, without sufficient benefits, the Federation is unlikely to give up the territory it has conquered.

When Hai Lan and Kartini heard Su Ming's words, they looked very sad.

"Feel sorry."

Su Ming said apologetically upon seeing this.

Hai Lan shook her head and looked at Su Ming and said.

"Mr. Su Ming, you don't have to feel sorry. I knew about the sacrifice of my husband Amis and others a long time ago. And the reason why I am so persistent in restoring the country is because this is the wish of my husband Amis."

"Alas, I actually want to help you, but I am not strong enough to do so."

Su Ming said in a deep voice after hearing this.

"I understand."

Hailan nodded.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became a little heavy.

Rhine and others ate in silence with their heads down.

Not long after, Su Ming and the others finished their meal. However, since he ordered a lot, there were still quite a few dishes left.

Hai Lan spoke to Su Ming very calmly.

"Mr. Su Ming, can I take away the remaining dishes?"

"Of course, Rhine, go call the waiter."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he glanced at Lai Yin and then rubbed his fingers.

Rhine suddenly understood and left in a hurry.

"Thank you, Brother Su Ming."

Kartini said to Su Ming very happily.

"Small things."

Su Ming said to Kartini with a smile.

After a while.

Su Ming and his companions walked out of the restaurant.

Hai Lan stopped with the leftovers in her hand, bowed deeply to Su Ming and expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Su Ming, for your hospitality."

"You're welcome."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

"Brother Su Ming, will we meet again in the future?"

Kartini asked very reluctantly.

"Yes, you just follow your mother obediently. When I am free, I will go to see you."

Su Ming reached out and touched Kartini's little head.

At this time, Rhine ran back in a hurry, holding a large black bag in his hand and handed it to Su Ming.

Su Ming took the bag and handed it to Kartini.

"Kartini, this is for you."

"Mr. Su Ming, this is inappropriate. You have already helped us a lot."

Hailan could tell at a glance what was in the black bag. If she guessed correctly, it should be all cash.

"Mrs. Hyland, this is for Kartini."

Su Ming could see the plight of Hai Lan and the others at a glance, even though he had left a lot of money for them.

But after all, Starlight City is expensive, and they have to raise so many children and beg for help everywhere, so there probably isn't much left.

"Okay, Kartini, thank Mr. Su Ming quickly."

Hailan said to Kartini with a complicated expression.

"Thank you, Brother Su Ming."

Kartini thanked Su Ming obediently.

"Well, come to Brother Su Ming if you have anything."

Su Ming said to Kartini with a smile.

"it is good!"

Kartini nodded in response.

"We're leaving, Mrs. Hyland."

Su Ming then said goodbye to Madam Hai Lan.

"Walk slowly."

Madam Hai Lan bowed slightly again to Su Ming and the others.

Su Ming turned around and left with Rhine and a few others, heading towards the combat command headquarters.

Hai Lan looked at Su Ming's leaving back, with a very conflicted expression on her face.

At this time, she looked down at Kartini, took a deep breath, her expression became very determined, and then she pulled Kartini and chased after Su Ming and others, shouting.

"Mr. Su Ming, wait a moment!"

When Su Ming and his companions heard Hai Lan's shout, they stopped and turned to look at Hai Lan and Kartini who were chasing after them.

"Miss Hailan, is there anything else?"

Su Ming asked doubtfully.

The four people from Rhine also looked at Hailan in confusion.

Hailan took a deep breath and said with a firm look in her eyes.

"Mr. Su Ming, I am officially issuing you a commission. I hope you can help us restore our country."

Su Ming was very surprised when he heard Hai Lan's words.

Rhine and the others were stunned for a moment and spoke in shock.

"Mrs. Hailan, please stop joking. Let's not talk about whether we have the ability to help you restore your country. Restoring your country is not that simple. It requires a huge price. Do you understand? It's not just a little bit!"

"I know I can afford the price, and it's definitely enough."

Hailan replied very solemnly.

"how is this possible?"

Rhine and others replied in confusion.

They had just seen the plight of Hailan and her daughter, who could barely afford to eat. How could they possibly afford the price?

"Rhine, stop talking."

When Su Ming heard Hai Lan's words, his eyelids jumped and he interrupted Rhine very seriously.

Rhine and his men immediately shut their mouths.

Su Ming knew Madam Hai Lan very well.

She is a typical lady of aristocratic origin, well-educated and well-mannered, not the kind of person who talks big or does not know her limits.

"Mrs. Hailan, this is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else."

Su Ming said seriously.

"it is good."

Hailan nodded slightly.

"follow me."

Su Ming then took them away.

Not long after, Su Ming brought everyone to Villa A24, Anning Street.

This is a two-and-a-half-story villa built with white crystal stone, with a 100-square-meter courtyard.

Su Ming picked up his officer card and swiped the access control.

drop!
The door opens automatically.

Su Ming led everyone into the villa and came to the spacious and luxurious living room.

The furniture here is very high-end and all brand new. I have to say that the houses provided by the military are quite good.

However, Su Ming was not in the mood to check these things. He led everyone up the spiral staircase to the second floor and entered a guest room at random.

Then he spoke to Rhine and the others.

"Check this room, check every corner, and dismantle any suspicious electronic equipment."

"it is good!"

Rhine and others immediately started searching.

Then Su Ming activated the colonial armor to cover his entire body and scanned the entire room from all directions.

After a long time, all hidden dangers were checked.

Su Ming then said to Rhine and others.

"Rhine, go out and guard. Don't let anyone get close. I want to talk to Madam Hailan."

"it is good!"

The four Rhine people immediately left the room and closed the door.

Kartini looked at Su Ming and his mother in confusion. Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere was wrong.

At this time Su Ming spoke to Hai Lan very seriously.

"Mrs. Hailan, what you just said is very dangerous."

"I understand, so I never told anyone. Even if I wanted to meet Lord Roque, I just wanted to make contact. But I believe you."

Hailan nodded and replied.

In fact, Hai Lan didn't believe in the Federation at all, because she was robbed on the first day she entered the country. If she hadn't met Su Ming, she might have been dead on the street.

It’s not like the Crimson Nation has no assets in the Federation, but all of those assets are in trouble. They are either frozen or cannot be withdrawn.

After listening to Hai Lan's words, Su Ming was also somewhat touched, and then he spoke.

"But you should be aware that my current strength is not enough to help you restore your country."

"Mr. Su Ming, your current strength is indeed not enough. But in just over a year, you have been able to go from a student to a major general. There must be a big man behind you who can definitely do it."

Hailan replied with certainty.

"this."

When Su Ming heard Hai Lan's words, he immediately smiled bitterly and didn't know how to explain it.

"Mr. Su Ming, don't worry. The chips I give you far exceed the price you pay. It is definitely enough!"

Hai Lan said to Su Ming very seriously.

"What chips?"

After listening to Hai Lan's words, Su Ming became more curious and asked.

"Kartini, give me the necklace."

Hailan said softly to Kartini.

"Ah."

Kartini then took off the inconspicuous necklace from her neck and handed it to Hailan.

Hai Lan took it and handed it to Su Ming.

"Mr. Su Ming, here you go."

"What is this necklace?"

Su Ming took the necklace and looked at it carefully, frowning. This necklace didn't look that special, and the material wasn't good either.

Even if this necklace is made of pure eternal metal, it is not enough.

"This necklace is a key."

Hailan said calmly.

"key?"

Su Ming replied in surprise

"Yes, Mr. Su Ming, do you still remember the package I lost?"

"remember."

"There should be a small bottle of Eternal Metal in there, right?"

Hai Lan raised her head and looked at Su Ming and asked.

"Yes."

Su Ming nodded in response.

That bottle of eternal metal was used by him to make a mecha not long ago.

"My bargaining chip is a coordinate in the Dark Forest."

"Coordinates? What coordinates?"

"My husband, Amis, once went to explore the Dark Forest for the Crimson Country in his early years. During the exploration, he was attacked by monsters and lost his way in the Dark Forest. Later, he fled to a planet. This planet was of no value, but Amis found a giant Eternal Metal ore weighing a thousand tons on this planet."

Hai Lan looked at Su Ming seriously and said.

Su Ming's heart skipped a beat when he heard Hai Lan's words.

"Ms. Hailan, you are serious, right? Thousand tons?"

"Yes, it is a thousand tons. The small bottle of Eternal Metal you took earlier was scraped off from it, but I don't know the exact purity and content."

Hailan replied with certainty.

When Su Ming heard Hai Lan's words, he immediately walked around the room with his hands behind his back, his entire body numb.

One thousand tons of raw Eternal Gold.

Even if the content is only 50%, it is enough to make two V-generation mechas. No, it should be more than that, maybe even three.

The more Su Ming calculated, the more frightened he became.

Hai Lan looked at Su Ming quietly.

At this time, Su Ming suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said to Hai Lan.

"You continue."

"When Amis found the Eternal Metal stone, he did not bring it back. He knew very well that he was not the crown prince of the Crimson Country, and such a large piece of Eternal Metal would only bring disaster to the Crimson Country. Therefore, he built a small base on the spot and hid the Eternal Metal stone deep in the center of the earth. In the end, he came back from the Dark Forest alive alone! The necklace in your hand is the key to the base. If you, Mr. Su Ming, can help me restore my country, I will tell you how to go to that planet."

Hailan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

After listening to Hai Lan's words, Su Ming touched his forehead with a headache.

The bargaining chip given by Hailan is enough. If she hands it over to the Federation, there will be two results.

The first result is that the Federation fulfills its promise and helps Hailan restore its country.

In the second outcome, the Federation will get rid of Hailan and her daughter, because getting rid of them is much simpler than getting rid of the Dark Star Empire, and the cost is also lower.

To be honest, Su Ming is really tempted now, but the problem is that he can't eat this piece of cake. Moreover, he has his own principles and disdains to do those dirty things, not to mention that he has a good relationship with Hailan and her daughter.

Hai Lan waited quietly. She had already placed all her assets on Su Ming.

But she believed that she was not mistaken.

Su Ming's expression changed for a while, and finally he took a deep breath and spoke.

"Madam Hailan, I accept this mission. I will do my best to help you restore your country."

When Hai Lan heard Su Ming's words, she smiled and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Su Ming."

"You're welcome, Miss Hailan. I need you to do something now."

Su Ming said to Hai Lan.

"whats the matter?"

"I'll take you to Morris Star to open a black card and deposit 100 billion federal coins into it. Then we'll go to the combat headquarters, and you'll use the billion to launch the mission of restoring the Crimson Nation, and I'll take over this mission."

"it is good!"

Hai Lan immediately understood what Su Ming was going to do.

He wants to make this matter official and file a case with the federal government.

"Without further ado, let's go."

Su Ming then led them out of the room.

At this time, Rhine and others who were guarding the door saw Su Ming and others coming out, and immediately went up to them and asked.

"Boss, how's it going?"

"How about what?"

Su Ming replied in a deep voice.

"I was wondering how it could possibly work out."

Rhine and others let out a long sigh and said.

"I agreed."

Su Ming replied simply.

"what!"

"No!"

"Boss, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Rhine and others shouted in astonishment.

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me."

Su Ming and Rhine said.

"it is good."

Rhine replied in a trance. Not long after.

After Su Ming took Hai Lan and others to Morris Interstellar Bank to open a black card, he hurried to the central hall of the combat command center.

Then they came to window number 1.

"Hello, what business do you want to handle?"

A female staff member with long black hair and brightly dressed asked Hailan politely.

Of course, the reason why she was so polite was because Su Ming was standing next to Hai Lan and was obviously a relative of her.

"I am Hailan, the royal representative of the Crimson Kingdom. I am going to issue a mission to restore the country."

"what?"

The female staff member was stunned.

"What? The Crimson Nation has always been a friendly neutral country recognized by the Federation, and the Federation now has a policy that allows neutral countries to issue missions here. Please follow the regulations."

Su Ming immediately said to the female staff member.

"I can't make the decision on this. How about I ask the supervisor to come over?"

The female staff member said uneasily.

"Go."

Su Ming didn't make things difficult for her.

The female staff member quickly stood up, opened the door at the back and went in.

Not long after, Lieutenant Oz came out in a hurry.

When he saw Su Ming and the others, he was also stunned and spoke in surprise.

"It's you, no, Commander Su Ming."

"What a coincidence. Since we are old acquaintances, please help me with the formalities and issue the task."

Su Ming looked at Lieutenant Oz and said with a smile.

He still has a good impression of Lieutenant Oz.

"Commander Su Ming, there is no problem in releasing her according to the rules, but a large deposit is required. This kind of mission is not given out casually."

Lieutenant Oz said in embarrassment.

"It's okay, Mrs. Hailan, give it to him."

Su Ming said to Hai Lan.

Hailan then took out the black card and handed it over.

"Sir, there are 10 billion federal coins in here."

Oz was also stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that people from a fallen country could come up with so much money. Although no one would accept a task of this level with this amount of money, it was enough to issue the task.

He took a deep breath and said.

"Okay, I'll do it for you right away."

Oz immediately took action.

It didn't take long for Oz to successfully launch the mission.

In an instant, the huge projection device in the hall suddenly displayed a new task.

S-level mission.

Crimson Sorrow.

Mission requirements: Help the Crimson Nation restore its independence.

Mission reward: 100 billion federal coins.

Many officers who came to provide support were very surprised when they saw the new tasks.

"Damn, a new mission has been refreshed, and the rewards are so generous."

"Fenghou, open your eyes and see that the country that wants to restore its nation is not some small country, but the Crimson Country. It is a strategic location. 100 billion is useless and not enough to fill the gaps in our teeth."

"It seems so."

"No one would accept such a small amount of money, but it's normal. The Crimson Country has been gone for a long time. It's great that they can pay 10 billion."

At this time, at the window, Oz said to Su Ming.

"It's done."

"Okay, please help me take on the mission, and I need all the information about the Crimson Country."

Su Ming took out his military officer ID and handed it over.

"what?"

Oz was a little down for a while. What was going on?

"Is there a problem?"

Su Ming asked calmly.

"No problem, I'll do it for you right away."

Oz immediately gave Su Ming the operation.

Oz quickly completed the task, and the public screen immediately showed that the task had been accepted.

Many officers were furious when they saw this scene.

"Fuck, which idiot answered this?"

"I don't know which idiot accepted the mission without reading it carefully. But I know he's going to cry soon. There is a penalty for abandoning a mission."

"At least 20% liquidated damages must be paid, and the longer the time is delayed, the more expensive the liquidated damages will be."

At this time, Su Ming took the task and left the window with Hai Lan and others.

They then heard the officers walking around discussing the restoration of the Crimson Nation.

Rhine and others said to Su Ming with bitter faces.

"Boss, are you sure everything is alright?"

"Yeah, are we really going to go after the Star Destroyer?"

"Don't worry about this matter, just wait for me to arrange it."

Su Ming replied with great uncertainty in his heart. Even though he seemed to be very quick to answer the call, he still had a headache after answering it.

"Okay, so what do we do now?"

Rhine and others asked blankly.

"Go back to the villa and rest."

Su Ming said to everyone.

"it is good!"

Rhine and others nodded in response.

Late at night.

Inside the villa's master bedroom.

Su Ming sat on a chair and used his bracelet to project a map of the entire Danube Star Sea.

He stared at the area where the Crimson Country was located. The entire area was dark red, indicating that it was heavily controlled by the Dark Star Empire.

Although the military's data did not include the specific deployment map of the Imperial Army in the Scarlet Country, it did include information on the number of troops.

The entire Crimson Country is stationed with nearly one-fifth of the Red Fang Legion's troops, which is hundreds of times more than his own. Moreover, he does not have a level 5 ship, so he is not on the same level no matter how you look at it.

"How do we fight this? Do we really need help?"

Su Ming muttered to himself.

He now had only one choice, which was to ask the legion commander for help, but if he asked her, there was a high probability that her power would be confiscated.

The Federation is now desperately short of high-end materials, which can be seen from the dividends from the Insect Star.

No matter how Su Ming thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. With so much Eternal Metal, he really wanted to swallow it all himself, but the problem was that he couldn't swallow it all.

"call!"

Su Ming took a few deep breaths to calm his fluctuating heart. He concentrated on looking at the star map and thinking about various tactics.

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Have it!"
-
The next morning.

Rhine, Ankajia and the other three were preparing breakfast in the restaurant.

"Rhine, what happened to the boss? He locked himself in his room after returning last night and hasn't come out yet."

Zhang Yi said in a low voice.

"You ask me, who should I ask? I am still confused now."

Rhine's head almost exploded at the thought of attacking the Crimson Nation.

He was not idle last night either. He specifically looked up information about the Crimson Country, but the more he read, the more desperate he became.

"Tell me, what did Madam Hailan talk to the boss about? I can't figure out how Madam Hailan convinced the boss."

Ankaja asked curiously.

They knew Su Ming very well. He was a very rational person and the decisions he made were difficult to change.

Su Ming would not take them into danger unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Have no idea."

Hamiu shook his head like a rattle.

At this time, Hailan came down from upstairs with Kartini.

Rhine saw it and immediately spoke.

"Mrs. Hailan, breakfast is ready, come and have some."

"Okay, is Mr. Su Ming still awake?"

Hailan turned her head and looked around.

"The boss hasn't woken up yet, let's eat first."

Rhine said to Hailan and the others.

"Ok."

Hailan nodded in response.

They sat around the dining table and had breakfast.

Just when they had almost finished eating, Su Ming hurried down the stairs.

"Boss, time for breakfast."

Rhine shouted at Su Ming.

"Rhine, Ankajia, you two come with me to the headquarters. Zhang Yi, Hamiu, you stay with Madam Hailan."

Su Ming made simple arrangements.

"it is good!"

After hearing this, Rhine and Ankajia immediately stood up and followed Su Ming away.

Soon after.

Su Ming and his team arrived at the headquarters.

"Boss, what are we doing here?"

Rhine asked curiously.

"I have an appointment with Colonel Adoka, the head of logistics at the headquarters."

Su Ming simply said to Rhine.

"Ah, boss, you want supplies?"

Ankaja asked doubtfully.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

Soon they arrived at the logistics area and saw a middle-aged man with a bloated body, a fat head and big ears, a mustache, and wearing a colonel's military uniform, who was lecturing his subordinates.

"Listen carefully, all of you. All logistics supply requests, except for those approved by the legion commander and quota supplies, must be settled in cash. No delays are allowed! Who will fill the gaps created by delays today and tomorrow?"

"Yes, Commander Adoka."

Everyone responded one after another.

"Boss, this Colonel Adoka seems to be difficult to talk to?"

Rhine said in a low voice.

"I know."

Su Ming nodded and walked up.

At this time, Adoka also saw Su Ming coming over, and then waved to his subordinates.

"It's all gone!"

Many officers breathed a sigh of relief and left.

"Colonel Adoka, I am Major General Su Ming. You should have seen the appointment information, right?"

Su Ming said to Adoka.

"I see. But sir, there is no problem with your supply needs. But you should have heard my lecture to the subordinates just now, right?"

"no problem."

"Okay then, what supplies do you want?"

Adoka raised his tablet and tapped it a few times, and a virtual projection interface popped up.

"I want two sets of XSK-05 advanced nuclear fuel rods for the pseudo-V-generation mecha, and nuclear fuel rods for the 2th-generation mecha Lei Yu."

Su Ming stated his needs one by one.

He bought himself two sets of spare fuel rods and some commonly used accessories, and also prepared supplies for the Wind-Moon and other mechas. As for regular supplies, he directly filled them up.

Adoka looked at the list of quantities and looked at Su Ming in surprise.

"Sir, you want so much?"

"What's the problem? I don't owe you any money."

Su Ming said to Adoka.

"Uh, okay! That's 230 billion in total."

Adoka quoted Su Ming a price.

"So expensive? Can it be cheaper?"

Su Ming also frowned slightly, feeling a little painful.

"Sir, the pseudo-V-generation mecha fuel rods and accessories you requested are very expensive. If you think you can't afford it, just reduce the quantity."

Adoka replied without giving any face.

"No, that's all. I also want to buy nuclear torpedo missiles, both mecha-filling and ship-launching."

Su Ming then said to Adoka.

After hearing this, the fat on Adoka's face wiggled a little, and then he spoke.

"Sir, it's fine if you want to buy nuclear mines, but there is a purchase limit. Your current rank is major general, so you can only buy 10."

"Can't you sell me more?"

Su Ming asked with a sinking heart.

"No, if you want to hold more, you need to apply to Lord Luo Kui."

"Fine!"

"There are four types of nuclear mines available. Take a look at them yourself."

Adoka tapped on the tablet.

Swish!
The virtual interface switched for a while.

HXC-01 sub-light-speed nuclear torpedo missile·Fengkui: mecha filling type, tactical type, price 10 billion federal coins.

HXC-02 Sublight-Speed ​​Nuclear Torpedo Missile·Stormfury: Mecha-filled model, heavy-duty model, price 20 billion federal coins.

SCX-01 Nuclear Thunder and Lightbringer: Ship filling model, tactical type, price 20 billion federal coins.

SCX-02 Nuclear Thunder Storm's Fury: Ship filling model, heavy type: 30 billion federal coins.

Su Ming took a quick glance and then spoke.

"5 Wind Sunflowers, 3 Wind Rages, and 2 Storm Furys."

"Exactly 400 billion federal coins."

"Okay, please equip me with them as soon as possible. I need them urgently."

Su Ming raised his bracelet and transferred the money over.

"Okay, we can get it ready this afternoon. Where do you want it shipped to? We can deliver it to your door."

Adoka's attitude instantly changed 180 degrees and he spoke earnestly.

People like them who work in logistics prefer superiors who are rich and generous, rather than those who are stingy.

"Okay, help me get it to the Fengdong."

Su Ming said to Adoka.

"no problem."

Adoka responded with a smile.

"let's go."

Su Ming then took Rhine and the other person away.

When they walked out of the headquarters building, Rhine and Ankajia came back to their senses from their trance, swallowed hard and asked.

"Boss, you got so many weapons and supplies, you're not planning to fight the Crimson Country's Imperial Army alone, are you?"

"Yes, why are you scared?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"How is that possible? We will follow you through fire and water. If we even blink, we will lose!"

"Okay, let's go back and meet up with Zhang Yi and the others, and then return to Feng Dong!"

"Ok!"

Rhine and the other man responded immediately.

In the afternoon.

Femank base city interstellar airport.

The Level 4 Wind Movement was docked at the berth, and supply transport vehicles drove over like a long dragon.

Inside the cargo hold.

Su Ming, Xiu En and others stood on the observation deck, looking at the iron heads loading and unloading, bringing up packaged weapon boxes and supply boxes.

"Why are there so many supplies?"

Hegaz asked, somewhat dumbfounded.

"It's not just supplies, there are a lot of nuclear mines here, Su Ming, what are you planning to do?"

At this time, Xiuen saw several weapon boxes with nuclear torpedo logos on them, and said with his eyelids twitching wildly.

"Su Ming, what big mission have you accepted? Why are you investing so much money?"

Timmy asked with a smile.

"Well, I took a super mission."

Su Ming nodded in response.

"What's the mission? The reward is very generous, right?"

Hegas and others asked expectantly.

"Help Madam Hailan to recover the Crimson Kingdom."

Su Ming coughed and said.

After hearing Su Ming's words, Timmy and others froze in place, and the scene fell into complete silence.

After a long moment, Hegas scratched his head and spoke.

"Commander Su Ming, you are not kidding us, right?"

"You must be joking. I'm serious. We'll set off immediately after the cargo is loaded."

Su Ming said simply and clearly.

Timmy took a deep breath and said with a smile.

"Commander Su Ming, how much is the reward for this mission?"

"If I say 100 billion, would you believe me?"

Su Ming looked at Timmy and the others and said.

"Do not believe!"

Timmy and the others all shook their heads. These supplies alone cost more than 10 billion federal coins. Isn't this a pure loss of money?
"Okay, this is a secret. I'll tell you when the time is right. Now all you need to do is hurry up and get familiar with the Thunder Mech. We are really going to go to war with the Imperial Army, and this time our opponent is very strong."

Su Ming said very seriously.

"understand!"

Timmy and the others responded seriously.

Not long after, Fengdong finished its resupply and set sail towards the sky.

In the central control room.

Timmy said to Li Menghan.

"Preheat the FTL flight device and wait for orders."

"understand!"

Li Menghan responded immediately.

At this time, Timmy turned his head and looked at Su Ming.

"Where are we flying to?"

"Let's go meet up with Vickers first. I want to ask him for some mechanical octopuses. I'll make the arrangements later."

Su Ming said to Timmy.

"I see."

Timmy then called up the star map and arranged the preliminary navigation route on his own.

Soon, the Fengdong activated the superluminal flight device and entered the subspace.

At this time, Su Ming was sitting on a chair. He raised his bracelet to call up the star map of the entire Danube Star Sea and observe the situation on the entire battlefield.

So far, the troops of the Dark Star Empire and the Federation have encountered each other in various neutral countries, and both sides are trying to stop the war and grab supplies.

This resulted in a large number of Dark Star Empire troops being tied up, so the Dark Star Empire's military strength is now very tight.

This is also one of the most important reasons why Su Ming dared to take on the mission of the Crimson Country.

Otherwise, relying on him alone would be courting death.

And now there is another good news. Luo Kui moved the main force to the neutral country of Kviten, the planet of Black Kank, which is opposite to the Crimson Country. A temporary headquarters was established there to support and provide supplies for all participating troops.

Once the Dark Star Empire's Blood Edge Fortress or Star Destroyer joins the battle, they will immediately rush over to support.

Therefore, if your supplies run out, you can retreat there to resupply.

In fact, at the beginning, Su Ming had thought about mobilizing a large force to fight against the Dark Star Empire.

But after much calculation, Su Ming found that his influence was very limited, and it was simply unrealistic to mobilize a large force.

Therefore, you still have to rely more on yourself.

Su Ming thought of this and immediately enlarged the star map of the Crimson Country.

The Crimson Country is one of the three major transit points of the Dark Star Empire, and it is also the central transit point. Every day, the imperial army returns to the rear after plundering supplies.

The Dark Star Empire will not let anyone easily take away such an important strategic point.

However, this time Su Ming insisted on pulling out the tooth from the tiger's mouth. For a moment, he inexplicably felt his blood getting excited.

Su Ming stretched out his hand and slid the star map, carefully examining the starry sky area outside the border of the Crimson Country.

As a result, dozens of meteorite areas were discovered, all of which were suitable for hiding.

Su Ming stroked his chin and analyzed it carefully.

He wanted to find a place that was inconspicuous, not easily discovered by the Imperial Army, and convenient for retreat, as a hiding place for the Wind.

It’s a pity that he looked around and couldn’t find a place that met his needs.
