Star Fleet: Age of Lords.

Chapter 79 The fish is dead and the net is broken
"In my opinion, at worst, they can just follow Feng Moyu and fight to the death. While the Bai family can still afford a fleet, they can directly drive the T4 fleet to the Storm Galaxy and turn the entire Storm Galaxy into the Bai family's territory. What can little Feng Mo do?"

The person who spoke was the manager of the Bai family branch, sitting third to the left of Bai Yanbing. Although he looked young, he was actually just a centenarian with a strong build. When everyone was sighing, he was the only one sitting on the chair with a sharp look. It was obvious that he was a pro-war faction.

"That's easy to say. We're still occupying the Storm Galaxy. Now the entire Storm Galaxy is protected by the Federation. Federal law prohibits attacking noble territories. It's okay if it's non-Federation personnel."

Bai Yanbing, who was sitting in the main seat, opened his mouth to refute, but he was stunned as he spoke. He kept repeating that he must be a non-federal personnel. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he remembered.

Yes, the Storm Galaxy is protected by federal law, but it is not federal territory after all. If the Bai family sends a fleet to attack the Storm Galaxy, the federal government will send troops to attack it. But if it is a foreign race, the federation will not care, and the Storm Galaxy can only rely on its escort fleet to deal with it.

This is a solution, but where can the aliens find it? We have it, the Demon Galaxy. Let’s look for it in the Demon Galaxy. They are the interstellar lords who own two T4 fleets.

After selecting the target, Bai Yanbing fell into deep thought again. He wanted to ask the Demon Galaxy to send troops, but the price he had to pay was something the Bai family couldn't afford at the moment. However, he had to do it, otherwise the Bai family would be slowly dying.

Nowadays, the Bai family is constrained in every way in the Snow Eagle Empire. What if the Bai family can develop beyond the Federation's sphere of influence, such as the Storm Galaxy, and with the large number of resource planets in the U5 Galaxy, why should the Bai family worry about not being able to prosper again?
Bai Yanbing had a very good idea, but how to ask the demon lord of the demon galaxy to take action became a problem. Just when he was in trouble, Bai Muchen's words opened up Bai Yanbing's mind.

"Father, although the Demon Galaxy has two T4 fleets, most of them are starships purchased from the Federation or distant mechanical races. They produce very few starships themselves because they don't have the design drawings."

"Moreover, the Demon Galaxy is salivating over the design drawings of the quasi-T5 starship and is trying its best to get it. If my Bai family can provide all of these, can we ask the Demon Galaxy to help once?"

Bai Muchen's words immediately enlightened Bai Yanbing. Yes, with the Bai family's background, they could still gather one or two design drawings of a T4 starship, but the design drawings of a quasi-T5 starship were beyond the reach of the Bai family.

I just don't know if the two T4 starship design drawings can impress the Demon Lord and make him help the Bai family. I still need to contact them first.

"Mu Chen, go to the Demon Galaxy for me and ask the Demon Lord to help you once in exchange for two T4 interstellar design drawings. If he doesn't agree, you can raise the conditions to a quasi-T5 starship. As for the design drawings, I have my own way."

At this time, Bai Yanbing also made up his mind. With the Bai family's background and connections, he could still get two copies of the T4 design drawings. As for the quasi-T5 starship, he had no choice but to use that method.

Bai Yanbing left the meeting room alone, found a quiet room, and dialed a video call. After the call was connected, he said to the silver-haired old man on the other side:
"Mr. Qiao, the Bai family is desperate. Considering our past friendship, I hope the Qiao family can help the Bai family through this difficult time."

The silver-haired old man on the opposite side shook his head and sighed after hearing this:

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't. The eldest lady of the Chu family has personally come out to target the Bai family. My personal connections are far inferior to those of the eldest lady of the Chu family."

"As for the grudge between the Qiao family and the Yue family, you also understand it. Now that the Yue family has the upper hand, the Qiao family is already in a difficult situation. At this juncture, they will definitely not help the Bai family and risk offending the Huiyao Chu family."

"Besides, the Chu family is trying to help their own son-in-law, while your Bai family has no nominal relationship with the Qiao family. The Qiao family is willing but powerless." After hearing this, Bai Yanbing sneered in his heart, saying that the Bai and Qiao families were still unwilling to help fight against the Chu family. After all, the Bai family was no longer of any use, and it would be a loss to personally fight against the Chu family.

Whether it is a family or an individual, there are only a handful of people who can help you when you encounter difficulties, and everything is based on interests.

"Since the Qiao family can't help the Bai family, then Old Qiao has to do something for Yan Bing. I need a design drawing of a quasi-T5 starship. I won't make it difficult for Old Qiao. A destroyer or a frigate will do."

After hearing this, Mr. Qiao on the other side of the video suddenly turned pale and growled angrily:
"Bai Yanbing, what do you want to do? Are you treating me as a prop to make a wish? The design drawings of the quasi-T5 starship are confidential within the clan, how can I get them?"

"Then it has nothing to do with the military exercise. I will only give you seven days. If you don't see the quasi-T5 starship design drawings after seven days, a video in my hand will be spread throughout the Federation in the Star Network space."

"Mr. Qiao, you don't want this video to be seen by others, right? I have to say that you and your first wife are indeed close friends, but it's a pity that you chose the wrong place to have sex. Anyway, I want to see who I want in seven days, otherwise it will be up to God whether you two dogs can survive."

After Bai Yanbing finished speaking, he completely ignored the crazy roar of Mr. Qiao on the other side and directly hung up the video. The eldest wife of the Qiao family was the legal wife of Duke Qiao.

If the video of Mr. Qiao and the first wife having an affair were to spread, it would be a major event that would shock the entire federation, and Duke Qiao might become the laughing stock of the entire federation's aristocracy.

By then, the eldest wife might not be in trouble as she has the protection of her parents' family, but Old Qiao is bound to die, the kind that cannot die any more. This is how the relationship between Bai Yanbing and Old Qiao came about.

On the other side of the video, after a period of impotent rage, Mr. Qiao gradually calmed down. While inquiring about the recent movements of the Snow Eagle Bai family through the intelligence system, he communicated with the first wife and discussed the matter.

After learning that the Bai family fleet was escorting Bai Muchen to the Demon Galaxy, Old Qiao instantly understood what Bai Yanbing was thinking. He inadvertently revealed a sinister smile and muttered to himself:
"I will use a profit to lure the demon lord into attacking the Storm Galaxy. The profit is the design drawings of the quasi-T5 starship in my hand. If you succeed in this, your Bai family will get a galaxy with nothing."

"And I will be eaten by you for the rest of my life because of this secret. If that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel. It seems that the Snow Eagle Bai family has no need to exist. After all, only the dead can't talk."

Just as Bai Muchen was heading to the Demon Galaxy, Feng Mo and Alyssa, with big dark circles under their eyes, were concentrating on looking at the data on the holographic projection. Today was the trial voyage of the Hurricane.

Whether the Hurricane's sea trial can be successful is related to Feng Mo and Elisa's success in the past six months. During this period, the two of them worked day and night, eating and sleeping in the main control room, and discussed every day how to improve the Hurricane.

After half a year, the new Hurricane was finally built. The two were already impatient to know the performance of this modified starship.
