Chapter 1138: Join forces to force the palace
There is still one month left before the upcoming crack opens.
All the ships that can be assembled have been assembled here, and this is all the power that Earth and its allies can put forward.
But this is not the last line of defense. The last line of defense should be the earth and its allies' planets.These will be the last lines of defense to stop the swarm. If even these lines of defense collapse, it will be declared a failure.
According to the expected plan, the fleet can be completely annihilated here, but in order to weaken as much as possible the effective crack transmitted by the insect swarm, it is impossible to open it all the time. Before the crack opens, it is completely a slow foreplay.
But even such a foreplay left the Earth and its allies exhausted.
There is no need to mention the ship losses at all. They are still within the expected losses in normal battles, but the number of casualties is really too many.
Especially now, it is quite difficult for the earth to train sailors and astronauts who can fight in the universe.
Wherever he was, he was already beaten and disabled like this.
But so what?In the final analysis, before receiving technological support from other civilizations, the earth was a backward pre-nuclear civilization that could no longer be left behind.
Normal control of nuclear energy cannot be achieved, let alone other life-extension technologies.
There are no space mercenaries that can be hired in the universe.
Those who are unwilling to accept employment also don’t want to get involved in this muddy water. They think this muddy water is too dangerous, and they may fall into it and be unable to pull out.
As the saying goes, it is more terrifying than anything else to take life at the expense of life.
These mercenaries know one thing very well: only money that can be obtained and spent is the real idea, and everything else is fake.
What happened on the supply ship was indeed a warning to all mercenaries.
However, the leaders of these mercenaries were not so easy to talk to. They gathered one by one and prepared to jointly put pressure on Mark. They were confident that as long as they had more people, they would be able to have a big enough impact on Mark. Then Mark would only be able to If you can give in obediently, give them more money.
As for breaking up and giving up on this mission, that doesn't happen.
The number of fleets now being replenished, leaving aside the Little Golden Man and the Nova Corps, the Earthlings' own warships alone are completely capable of annihilating them here.
It’s just that people on Earth have to pay a heavy price.
If Mark's fleet is included in Wuhu, it is even more unthinkable.
To put it nicely, these mercenaries are fighting for enough benefits for themselves, but to put it worse, they are just sitting on the ground and raising prices.
The so-called professional ethics have long been thrown into the trash can by them.In the face of money, morality is nothing.It's only useful if you get the money in your hand.
...
Mark's Captain's Office.
This is announced to the outside world, but in fact Mark is almost never here.
However, Mark has indeed been here to check the situation of the entire fleet in recent days to ensure that there will be no major losses before the war begins.
Just when Mark was about to finish today's inspection work, there was a knock on the door.
"What's up?"
"Boss, the leaders of the mercenaries have gathered together and said they have important matters to discuss with you. Do you want to meet with them?" The gatekeeper who was responsible for guarding the door reported the situation to Mark.
"Let them in!"
"Yes!"
With a sound, the door was slowly opened.
The mercenary leaders walked in from outside the gate. These were the leaders of the large fleet.The leaders of the small fleet and the medium-sized fleet have no right to be here.But they also chose representatives who arrived here to represent their interests.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm very pressed for time right now. I don't have time to play riddles with you here. If you have anything to say, please tell me." Mark looked at his watch. After finishing his work, he could still go back at this time. Have dinner and watch a TV show with the family.
"Hello, dear Mr. Komnenos, I think you should have heard about a conflict that occurred on the supply ship. My crew members were discriminated against and treated inhumanely. You should at least do something about this matter. Express it!" The leader of the mercenary fleet captain said to Mark excitedly.
He is the leader of those mercenaries, and now he is completely venting his anger on his younger brother.
"I heard that you insulted the crew of the supply ship. With this, I can ask the crew of the supply ship to cut off the supply to you. I will send you supplies in a short time through more than a dozen jump points. , is it just for you to ridicule here? And with your help, what exactly was said in the dog's mouth? This lesson is all clearly recorded," Mark said, pressing the remote control, and the audio playback began.
It was exactly what those idiots said in the supply ship's mess hall.
"Then can you explain to me what your subordinates said in the supply ship mean?"
"It's just young people talking arrogantly for a moment. I can ask them to apologize to you personally for this matter, but there is no need to fight with them. One of my hired team members lost two teeth and his face because of this. It's still swollen to this day." The captain was still justifying his subordinates.
The other captains had actually seen it at this time.
It is estimated that Joe has no hope of getting more money. Mark's strong attitude is obviously that he is trying to break the net and really intends to jointly exert pressure. The final result is very likely that Mark will slap them to death.
They know their status is nothing more than cannon fodder in front of the combined fleet.
But why are they willing to become cannon fodder?
Because Mark gave too much!
It is for this reason that they are willing to accept it.
"Listen to me! I don't care what kind of dogs you were before, just lie down on my territory. If something like this happens again, I guarantee that those guys will not lose a few teeth, but them My head! Don’t think that I can’t do this kind of thing. As for those of you who came here, I understand your thoughts. The final fund settlement increased by 10%, but this guy didn’t get a single point." Mark said and raised his finger. Referring to the captain who was standing up for his subordinates just now.
The captain's face was ashen, and Mark used just one move to completely collapse their internal alliance.
Facing the temptation of interests, they were tied together, and now they collapsed under the drive of interests.In the final analysis, this alliance is just pursuing interests, and now everyone has obtained the interests, only this fleet has not.
No one will fight for this fleet and Mark. Everyone wants to keep their own 10%!
Let everyone leave except the captain who didn't get the funding increase.
If he goes back in despair like this, the mercenaries under him will probably mutiny soon, and his body will be floating in the universe.
Captains who cannot bring benefits to the fleet will be quickly abandoned.Especially when other ship types are striving for sufficient benefits for the fleet, they increasingly show their helplessness.
In fact, the mercenary fleet is so cruel.
Although it also has its own small products and leadership management, no one can guarantee who is loyal internally, and there will be no factional fighting.
Unfortunately, he had several internal competitors who wanted to kill him.
Mark walked up to him, patted his face gently with his hand and said with a sneer: "Before you cause trouble next time, investigate and find out what kind of person your opponent is. Don't be so self-righteous anymore. I'll let you go temporarily this time." A 5% improvement is the final bottom line, and the other 5% is your punishment.
Of course, if you are willing to be my internal support, then I will give you the remaining 5%. If you do well, you can even increase it by 10%...20%.No one knows that extra 10%, it will be yours alone. "
What Mark is saying now is equivalent to the black snake in the Garden of Eden, which constantly tempted the captain towards the dark abyss.
"Is everything you said true?"
"I don't need to lie to people, and I don't deserve to lie to people because of you. I have plenty of money in my hands, and I have a lot of resources. I can squander it unscrupulously. What do you have? What do you have that is worthy of me lying to you? ? Don’t be too self-righteous."
"I am willing to work hard for you."
"Keep an eye on the other mercenaries for me. If any of them escape from the battlefield, notify me as soon as possible."
The captain knew that he had been on the opposite side of those captains since he agreed, and based on Mark's character, he must have recorded the conversation between the two, and he would become the target of public criticism.
As for Mark's plan being exposed... Mark clearly told them to monitor them, and the captains of the fleets had no choice.
"get out!"
The captain quickly left Mark's office without even looking back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mark closed the door to his office, the portal leading to his home on Earth.
We arrived home smoothly before dinner, and luckily we were able to make it in time for dinner.
"I'm back!" Mark seemed to be a different person when he returned home, with a smile that couldn't go away from his face.
Yrel also walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, holding the last plate of food in his hand.
"When you come back, wash your hands quickly. Don't sit there in a daze. After washing your hands, go get the dishes and chopsticks."
Because of Mark’s personal habits, most people in the family also used Chinese dishes and chopsticks.
Everyone has strong learning ability, so there were no difficulties. Now they are all able to use chopsticks proficiently.
Mark smiled and took off his coat, then walked towards the sink, humming an unknown tune without any sadness.
