Crossing to the Future, it’s Not Easy to Be a Man

Chapter 651: Interstellar Pirates!

"Aoqixing will definitely send pursuers." Li Lanfeng, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said.

Everyone focused their attention on him, and Li Lanfeng continued calmly: "In order to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess, Aoqixing inexplicably lost a strong man in the title field. Knowing that the target was on the Feiyang, of course he would not give up. "

"Besides, it's not that Aoqixing didn't have the idea of ​​Feiyang, but it just didn't have an excuse to detain it. In the end, under the strong pressure from the Federation, it had to let Feiyang set off on time. But the more this happened, the more the Aoqi star became. I can’t hold my breath..."

"Since we can't do it openly, we will definitely do it secretly." Li Lanfeng looked up at Ling Lan and said slowly, "There are many ways to do it secretly, and there is no way for people to catch it. The one who can escape perfectly is of course the interstellar pirates. "

A large part of the interstellar pirates are indeed criminals and fanatics wanted by various countries, but some are secret forces secretly supported by various countries. There are even some interstellar pirates who are all soldiers disguised as soldiers, including the Federation. There is also such a group. The federation cleans up some people or forces that cannot be touched on the surface. It's just that ordinary people won't know this.

Li Lanfeng's words made several others nod. Ling Lan continued the topic: "Lan Feng is right. During our next journey, we will definitely encounter at least one group of interstellar pirates. In fact, if you take over the mission from me Since then, I have thought that this journey cannot avoid interstellar pirates.”

"Why?" Li Yingjie was the only one who was curious about why Boss Lan thought so in the first place.

Li Lanfeng frowned when he heard this and decisively chose to ignore Li Yingjie. If the future head of the Li family is really Li Yingjie, he doubts that the throne of the super aristocratic family of the Li family will be taken away by the first-class aristocratic family below.

Compared to Li Lanfeng's dislike. Ling Lan didn't care about Li Yingjie's stubborn way of thinking. In fact, after looking at it for so many years, Ling Lan had long known that Li Yingjie was from a family with two shortcomings. With persistence and research, Li Shiyu ignored wealth and power. In a super-rich family, he was surrounded by various power struggles. There are two simple-minded and stubborn heirs. Ling Lan was very curious about how the Li family raised them. It was even more difficult to raise a prodigal than to raise a prodigal son.

Ling Lan replied very patiently: "Compared with other assassination methods, using interstellar pirates is the simplest and most effective. It is also the most concealed method. You can't be sure whether the other party is here for the princess, or if he is really just robbing... ...Even if the Feiyang becomes a ruin in the sky, the Federation cannot find any evidence and can only admit this reality in frustration. Who made them so unlucky that they would encounter interstellar pirates? "

"It's so poisonous." Li Yingjie finally understood. His expression suddenly changed.

"Politics is inherently dark." Gulibado is just a twenty-year-old girl, but she innocently becomes a pawn for all parties to achieve their own goals. In fact. Her life and death are not under her control at all. In the end, whether she lives or dies depends on which force from all parties succeeds.

Ling Lan thought of this. Her eyes suddenly turned deep and cold, as if she had regained her true form one day. If she becomes Ling Xiao's daughter, will she become a being like Gulibado, a pawn to attack or win over Ling Xiao?

Ling Lan's emotions suddenly fluctuated. A hint of his cold aura was revealed and then immediately withdrawn. Although the change was only instantaneous, the five people around him could clearly feel it.

"Boss, what's going on?" Although the expressions of the five people were calm, the muscles hidden under their clothes were already tense. If anything went wrong, they would turn into the sharpest attacks.

Ling Lan shook her head, her breath became gentle and harmless, and she changed the subject: "After you guys boarded the cruise ship, did Mu Youyun and the others find an opportunity to contact you?"

"No, they haven't done anything since we returned to the cruise ship on the third day." Zhao Jun replied. At that time, they sent Her Royal Highness back to the Feiyang and left quietly without revealing their identities. However, Zhao Jun knew very well that Captain Mu Youyun must know who was taking action.

Ling Lan nodded slightly. Colonel Mu Youyun was indeed an experienced team captain and knew how to hide them.

"In short, until they take the initiative to contact us, we will still follow the original arrangement."

Ling Lan didn't want to get too involved with Mu Youyun and the others. After all, they were the princess's bodyguards and attracted too much attention from all forces. Ling Lan didn't want to expose them because of them, as this would put them in too much danger.

Ling Lan really wanted to complete this escort mission, but if it cost her and her people their lives... Ling Lan was willing to fail the mission. In her eyes, her brothers and partners were more important than the mission.

After being instructed by Ling Lan, Qi Long and the others once again lived their simple life as interstellar tourists. Although Ling Lan said that there would be interstellar pirates in disguise coming to rob the Feiyang, there were no twists and turns in the following week, and the journey was uneventful. , making Mu Youyun and others think that they were dreaming about Aoqixing's assassination of the princess.

Of course, this is just an idea. The four-star teams are all experienced and powerful teams. They know that the calmer the situation, the more likely a big crisis will occur. Even the three teams around them, pretending to be an interstellar adventure group and an interstellar smuggling gang, also Starting to get nervous.

Unfortunately, as they were always on guard, three more calm days passed. Seeing that they were about to enter the Balaya Star Territory in two hours, Mu Youyun and the others couldn't help but wonder whether they would lose the powerful person in the title field. The enemy was wary, so he gave up on assassinating Her Royal Highness Princess Gulibado?

At this time, in Ling Lan's group's room, Ling Lan was playing chess with Li Lanfeng. Qi Long and Zhao Jun were very nervous, but they could still control themselves. Li Yingjie was a little restless and looked at the time on the communicator frequently. Somewhat impatient.

"Li Yingjie, stop looking, it's still early." Li Lanfeng reminded him without raising his head.

"Why? Didn't the boss say that interstellar pirates might appear in the last two hours?" The reason why Li Yingjie was so excited was entirely because Ling Lan originally estimated that the time for the catastrophe had arrived.

"Yes, so there are still two hours." Li Lanfeng replied calmly.

"You said you want to go to the end?" Li Yingjie said in shock.

"Yes, when everyone drops their guard, it's time for them to take action." Li Lanfeng moved a black chess piece. Decisively cutting straight into the hinterland of Linglan. Although there is a danger of a lone army going deep into the hinterland, Linglan's hinterland is very scattered, giving him enough space to move, so it is possible for him to do something.

"But, they were already in the Balaya border star field at that time. Aren't they afraid of being encircled and suppressed by the Balaya military fleet?" Li Yingjie asked puzzledly. There is Her Royal Highness Princess Gulibado in Feiyang. Once Baraya knows that the Feiyang has been hijacked, he will definitely send a fleet to come to the rescue.

"No, it can't really be regarded as the Balaya border star field. In fact, the star fields connected between each country have a transition zone. It is difficult to determine whose star field belongs to this transition zone, so this kind of star field is. It is called the fuzzy star field. If the military force of a country wants to enter it, it will be fine if another connected country does not protest or stop it. However, if it does stop or protest, it will be handed over to the United International Court of Humanity according to the international law of human society. Only when the country is judged to be allowed to enter can they allow military forces to enter the star field," Ling Lan explained simply.

"Isn't this taught in the Scout Academy?" Lin Zhongqing suddenly raised his head and asked.

Li Yingjie was stabbed in the vital point by Lin Zhongqing. He touched his nose shyly in his heart, but he turned away and snorted indifferently: "I was working hard to practice physical skills at that time. Who would listen to those lessons..."

"Oh!" Lin Zhongqing replied lightly, and then lowered his head to pack their luggage. As a logistics, he must know what they have now.

Lin Zhongqing's indifference made Li Yingjie feel even more embarrassed. Is this a sign of being completely despised by the other party? However, he really hates listening to these complicated theoretical classes, damn it.

"We don't have to expect Balaya's reinforcements at all. It's better to rely on ourselves than relying on others..."

Ling Lan said, she picked up a white chess piece, clicked it, and placed it next to the black chess piece. Since the opponent wanted to fight randomly, she would fight with him.

"If you can sneak into the Balaya border star field silently without being discovered, the scale of the interstellar pirates will not be too large." Li Lanfeng stood up, "Without the threat of Balaya's military power, the other party cannot send a large-scale force. If the interstellar pirates are discovered along the way and are encountered by patrol fleets from other countries, unnecessary losses will be caused. "

"Then what is the approximate scale of the interstellar pirates this time?" Zhao Jun asked aloud. He was very convinced of Li Lanfeng's deduction.

"There should only be three starships." Li Lanfeng said categorically. One main ship and two cutting-edge ships are the best configuration. This kind of ultra-small fleet is easy to conceal when moving, especially the two small cutting-edge ships. , extremely fast, and flexible in operation, it is the best landing warship to attack other starships. The sharp ship can also be called the sharp bee ship. If a main ship can bring enough sharp ships, it can carry out swarm tactics. No matter how huge the starship is, when it encounters a dense group of sharp ships, it has to retreat three feet. If it is unlucky, it may be surrounded by these small sharp fleets and die.

Of course, the vanguard ship is not without its nemesis. He is most afraid of encountering densely packed mechas. Although the vanguard ship is very flexible and extremely fast, it cannot match the speed and flexibility of the mechas. Once the number exceeds what he can contend with, If the mecha is besieged, the outcome will not be much better. Therefore, when seeing the presence of a large interstellar aircraft carrier, the cutting-edge ship will generally not act rashly.

In fact, this is just like big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating rice and shrimps, but it is the other way around in starships. The vanguard ship is afraid of encountering mechas because it is relatively small and may not be hurt by mechas. It is a large battleship, but it can still inflict damage against the sharp ship. Once the number of mechas exceeds the number that the sharp ship can withstand, it can completely destroy the sharp ship.

However, mechas are powerless against giant starships. Without powerful thermal weapons, and cold weapons not large enough, it is impossible to inflict large-scale wounds on giant starships. Even if you want to break a small hole in the hull, you may not be able to do it with the weapons on the mecha. However, what the mecha is powerless to do, the vanguard ship may not be unable to do. Although the vanguard ship is relatively small, the power of its own main gun is not comparable to that of the mecha. When the number of vanguard ships increases, the main gun will fire continuously. Even giant starships cannot withstand attacks. This is why swarm tactics will be widely used in starry battles.

Although giant battleships cannot withstand swarm tactics, they are a powerful weapon against bulky starships. Starships are most afraid of giant battleships. Even if all the mechas they carry are released, they cannot deal with giant battleships...

Therefore, in a mature interstellar fleet, there will not be only one type of starship, but a mixture of all starships, so that the fleet does not have particularly obvious loopholes.

Of course, the above theory only applies to ace mechas and below. If there are enough ace mechas, this conclusion must be questioned. This is also the reason why ace mechas become the king of the battlefield, let alone mechas above ace. ...That is absolutely not allowed to occur on the battlefield.

The cutting-edge ship is the most powerful against cruise ships like the Feiyang. If interstellar pirates want to hijack a cruise ship, there will be no shortage of them. But the combat power of one ship is too small. The attack of two ships plus the main ship is enough to kill the Feiyang. . Therefore, Li Lanfeng judged that the other party would send a main ship and two cutting-edge ships.

Ling Lan nodded and confirmed, "That should be it."

"Boss, do you think they will have an ace mecha?" Li Yingjie said excitedly. Since he was promoted to ace, he has either competed with friendly forces or competed with his companions for training. This was his first real actual combat. Li Yingjie felt his heart pounding. They all jumped quickly.

"One hundred percent yes." Ling Lan stood up, and everyone stood up in unison. This was the captain's aura.

"Are you ready?" Qi Long geared up.

Ling Lan glanced at the time on the communicator and said calmly: "If the estimate is correct, the interstellar pirates should be here."

As soon as he finished speaking, an alarm bell was heard inside the Feiyang.

"Please note, passengers, please note, passengers, we have encountered interstellar pirates, and the battle is about to begin. All passengers, please stay calm and don't panic. Passengers who are still in the activity area, please return to their rooms immediately."

"Remind again: The battle is about to begin. All passengers please stay calm and don't panic. Passengers who are still in the activity area please return to their rooms immediately..."

"Is the boss a crow's mouth?" Li Yingjie looked at Ling Lan who took the lead to leave the room with strange eyes. Unexpectedly, the pirates really came just as Ling Lan said that the pirates were coming...

With a snap, his head was hit by Lin Zhongqing: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is called predicting the future."

Looking at Lin Zhongqing who followed Ling Lan after knocking him on the head, Li Yingjie grinned and rubbed his sore head, muttering: "I know that I have no status at all when I come to Lingtian. Even when I was beaten, The boy I bullied casually has bullied him to the point of being bullied..." (To be continued)
