Chapter 1023: Pirates Again
Personal worship to the point of blindness is a true reflection of the Spinning Water Federation’s worship of Grandpa Alyssa. They have revised their textbooks several times for this purpose, and even have a special subject to study Grandpa Alyssa. .
Banning nodded when he heard this:
"No problem, I will ask my friends. If that starship appears on the battlefield, it will be a huge blow to our morale."
If your hero runs to the opposite side of you, it will definitely be a blow.
But Alyssa said a little strangely:
"Banning, are you not at the military headquarters anymore?"
After Banning left the starship for adventure, he returned to the Whirlpool Federation. Due to his outstanding abilities and experience of following Mr. James' adventures, Banning was promoted as fast as a rocket. He once served as the commander of the Third Fleet of the Whirlpool Federation.
He said asking friends instead of subordinates meant there was a personnel change.
"After all, I'm not too young."
Banning pointed to the toad-skin-like bumps on his neck:
"Look, my bumps have turned white, but they turned out to be bright red."
It's really hard to tell the age of the slaad...
"I retired some time ago. The superiors thought it was too wasteful for me to lie around at home, so they made me serve as a diplomat."
When Alyssa heard this, she immediately realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, you are a diplomat... so you are planning to negotiate with the Red Maple Republic?"
The space station where everyone is located is a neutral space station and does not belong to the Whirlpool Federation. This galaxy is also a neutral galaxy and is equivalent to a buffer zone between the two countries.
Setting up diplomats here is like asking us to go to Switzerland to negotiate together.
"After all, it is just a border friction for the time being and has not escalated into a full-scale war. Both of us are still willing to resolve our differences through negotiation."
The two fleets and thousands of warships participated in the grand event together, and they were beaten to the bone.
Such a lively situation, placed in front of two huge interstellar countries, is really just a border friction, not even a special sergeant operation.
Speaking of war, Alyssa asked:
"I remember there wasn't much in the disputed star field. Have we still not negotiated it after so long?"
"This is actually a bit weird."
Banning said:
"Originally, we had signed a peace agreement with the Red Maple Empire, but twenty years ago, the empire began to be in civil strife. Some of us thought we could take the opportunity to annex it, so..."
Got it, I'm pushing my limits.
"However, after the establishment of the Red Maple Republic, we returned the extra money. At this time, the Red Maple Republic began to gradually tear up the agreement. At first, we knew that we were wrong, so we did not take any action. We just shouted "two" diplomatically. In a sentence, the friction has become more and more serious in recent years, and the situation has escalated little by little, and now it has evolved into a situation where fleets are dispatched to fight. "
The Xianshui Federation is indeed wrong, taking advantage of others' danger. But then the Red Maple Republic began to take the initiative to provoke disputes, and then the situation was another matter.
Alyssa didn't know much about the situation in the Red Maple Republic, but she could see the problem.
An empire was doing well, with no anger or revolution, and suddenly it became a republic.
In fact, there is no undying hatred between the two countries. It is just a matter of resource galaxy development, which can be solved through negotiation. It has to go to the point of pulling out the fleet.
The Red Maple Republic's initiative to provoke friction is very concerning.
Alyssa thought for a while:
"I may have brought you good news about the Red Maple Republic."
"What?"
Immediately, Alyssa told Banning about the royalists. "Are you sure it's true?"
"Of course, we got the princess out with our own hands."
For most people, this news is just something to talk about after dinner, but for the Xianshui Federation, it is very important information.
The Red Maple Republic has shown very obvious hostility. Even if this friction can be resolved through negotiation, there is no guarantee that the conflict will continue to escalate in the future.
But if we can contact the royalists of the original Red Maple Empire and let them overthrow the Republic, then the situation will be different.
This matter cannot be decided by Banning as a diplomat, and it requires careful study.
"Alyssa, you are indeed our hero, you brought very critical information."
Alyssa was about to say something polite, when the table filled with delicious food suddenly shook.
It was like an earthquake, but only for a moment.
"There may be a small problem with the attitude control of the space station. Don't worry about it."
Banning said respectfully, but as soon as he finished speaking, violent vibrations struck again, this time with a higher frequency.
The space station usually floats around the celestial body in a fixed orbit. However, due to various reasons, the orbit will not remain unchanged forever. When an orbit deviation is found, the attitude control engine of the space station will be started to make corrections. At this time, it will indeed happen. There is a shaking similar to an earthquake.
But such violent shaking is not normal.
The violent shaking comparable to an earthquake lasted for more than ten seconds, and then it calmed down. Banning immediately said to the maid next to him: "Bring me my communicator quickly, I need to ask what happened. "
The maid bowed and took the order. Before she could leave the house, everyone heard the whine of an alarm coming from outside. The lighting in the space station was turned off, and a large number of red warning lights appeared, reminding everyone to go to the nearest place immediately. escape hatch or bunker.
This is not as simple as re-adjustment.
The maid almost ran back, holding a 'big brother' that looked like a small pillow in her hand.
Banning grabbed the phone and dialed quickly. He didn't know who he called, but judging from the expression on his face, he was quite shocked.
"What did you say? Pirates? Impossible. How do they break through the patrols on the outer reaches of the galaxy?"
As if echoing Banning's words, it was accompanied by violent vibrations and a very scary sound, like metal being torn apart. The sound should be from outside.
Everyone left their seats one after another and lay beside the windows to look out.
A fading beam of light appeared overhead. It penetrated the outer armor of the space station and melted through a very large hole.
The air escapes from this hole, and terrible winds roll up in the space station. Lighter objects will be sucked in immediately, including people and vehicles.
However, the corresponding mechanism of the space station was still in place. Within a few seconds, the huge armor plate was lowered to block the large hole. At the same time, a large piece of what looked like fire bubbles covered the vicinity of the hole, blocking the leaked gas.
"I know, good luck to you."
Banning put down the communicator and said to the people lying by the window: "We need to evacuate immediately. It is no longer safe here. A group of pirates suddenly appeared and attacked."
It's pirates again, why are these guys everywhere?
But speaking of it, the pirates' behavior seems strange.
Fang Lanyin's hometown, Alan Starlink, was also attacked by pirates, and just like this time, they were already at the door of their home when they were discovered.
It's unclear whether this series of events are connected.
