From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 216 The Prelude to the Battle of the Three ‘Idiots’

If the intelligence personnel of Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense were asked to evaluate their recent work, they would get a very unified answer.

Gold mining in shitholes.

They never expected that the information about the company Atlas on the Internet would be so confusing.

Although they know that a lot of this information is fake news released by the other party to confuse them.

But they felt that it was impossible to spread the news in a short period of time by manpower alone.

If AI is used to do it, it can be easily identified.

Therefore, the intelligence personnel of these two companies believe that this information definitely contains truly valuable news.

This resulted in them having no choice but to bite the bullet and start retrieving this massive amount of information.

To this end, Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense specially obtained four powerful mainframe computers to assist their work.

And they finally came to a conclusion that, in their opinion, could stand verification.

That is the Atlas Private Military Company, although on the surface it appears to be just a company registered in the Thousand Planets Empire.

But in fact, it is a hustling company controlled by the nobles of the Star Dragon Empire and has long been present in the border areas between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire.

This can be confirmed from the Atlas Company battleships that spies photographed many times in the spaceport on the border.

Because they saw at least three Atlas battleships with different numbers, all of which were destroyers still in active service in the Star Dragon Empire.

As soon as this conclusion came out, the senior executives of Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense instantly felt that everything could be explained.

No wonder an Atlas suddenly appeared to fight against them.

Moreover, he chose to select the head of the R\u0026D department to ‘recruit talents’, something so insignificant as to cause trouble.

Obviously, these are the nobles of the Star Dragon Empire. Taking advantage of the outbreak of war between the two countries, they began to try to infiltrate the Federation and began to suppress the Federation's enterprises!

"We must not let them succeed! Our federal companies are not that easy to bully!"

At a certain meeting, a senior member of the board of directors of Mary Bay Industries said this.

"Even if it is just a deterrent, we must make these imperial nobles retreat when they are faced with difficulties!"

Soon, Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense held another joint press conference and officially announced that they would conduct a 'special combat operation' in the near future as a response to previous incidents.

Although before this kind of battle, you tell the enemy, ‘I’m coming to fight you! ’ is stupid.

But whether in the Federation or the Empire, this kind of thing can even be said to be a very common behavior.

After all, for these large companies, what they care most about is the company's stock price.

Generally speaking, as long as a similar statement is issued, the stock price will rise and they will recover a little bit.

So no matter whether you can fight or not, at least your posture must be adequate.

"Although it was not stated directly at the press conference, I guess 80% of the commander of their combined fleet is Antonio, whose internal nickname is 'Mad Bull'."

At a certain intelligence sharing meeting, Cliffs, who was invited to the meeting, made his own judgment.

“This person is one of the senior commanders of the Mary Bay Industrial Mobile Fleet. His combat style is very aggressive and he likes to carry out violent attacks on the enemy in battle.

It is precisely because of this that in fleet battles under his command, the fleet damage rate is often relatively high. "

Cliffs looked at the familiar figure presented by the holographic projection device and said slowly:

"Such a command style will naturally make the battle-loss ratio less attractive. Therefore, he usually does not go out in the field. Only when the company needs to use violence to solve competitors, will he be asked to command the battle."

The former captain of the Mary Bay Industrial Mobile Fleet destroyer was constantly recalling relevant information in his mind while narrating.

After all, among everyone present, he was the only one who was most familiar with the fleet situation of Mary Bay Industries.

"Another senior commander of the mobile fleet has been stationed in the 'home' all year round. It is unlikely that he will be sent out to take command this time.

As for Yaoguang Defense, although they will also send a fleet commander, it will definitely only be to assist. Antonio will actually be the one to command the joint fleet.

Don't look at me like this, believe me. Party B of Mary Bay Industrial is in such misery. "

The home planet of the Timler family, Esseus VI.

"So the result of your investigation is that it was a federal mining company that killed the pirates and kidnapped our miners and equipment?"

Upon hearing Ryan Timler's inquiry, Paul, the head of Timler Mining, bowed his head respectfully and replied:

"To be precise, it is a federal mining company registered in the Thousand Planets Empire, because the ships we recently detected are all federal military-standard destroyers."

Seeing that the master of the family was rarely angry, but listened patiently to his report, Paul continued.

"We sent people to the Thousand Planet Empire to check the company information. This legal person named Atlas Mining Company also owns an Atlas Private Military Company. And according to the gossip we found, this private company There are many former federal soldiers in the military company."

"Humph, the Federation can't defeat it on a frontal battlefield, so it started to engage in such little tricks? Bah! It's really disgusting!"

Ryan Timler had an unkind expression. As an imperial noble, although he was only a small viscount, like many military nobles, he valued the honor of the empire.

"Paul, if we were to conduct a demonstration attack, could we obtain the exact location of this company?"

"Sir, the headquarters of Atlas is within the Thousand Stars Empire. We may not be able to attack it. However, our scattered exploration team, while conducting mineral exploration in the asteroid belt, was also lucky enough to find someone who had been kidnapped by the opponent. base of operations!”

"Very good, that's enough."

Viscount Ryan Timler's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and then he summoned the butler through the touch command of rubbing the ring with his finger.

"Go and inform the senior commanders of the family fleet. No matter what method they use, I want to see them appear on time in the conference room of the family manor before two o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

After saying that, he looked at Paul who was standing aside waiting.

"You are going to join us for this demonstration and attack. It's time to start transforming you from the noble son who spends his days drinking and drinking."

At the same time that the three forces of Mary Bay Industries, Yaoguang Defense, and the Timler Family, with the efforts of Lilith and the Atlas Intelligence Team, successfully misjudged Atlas.

The Atlas fleet also welcomed the last destroyer of its recent expansion.

When this second-hand Swift-class destroyer officially joined Atlas's battle sequence, the total number of ships in the Atlas fleet also came to five.

Although they are all destroyers, there are at least 5 of them.

If Amber had followed his previous idea and bought a light cruiser directly, he would probably still be in the process of saving the last bit of money.

In the recent tense days, Atlas's military strength has been greatly improved with the support of the company's financial resources.

Not to mention fleet expansion.

The equipment R\u0026D and manufacturing center led by Eugene and Oens has also recently completed the development and trial production of the first-generation combat exoskeleton system.

After production, the combat exoskeletons of the three classes were distributed to the "experimental troops" for testing.

They will use this exoskeleton system intensively in daily training and try to find as many bugs and defects as possible.

This allows Eugene and Oens to optimize and improve this exoskeleton system called the 'Crazy Crocodile' before it is officially put into mass production.
