Chapter 623 See Your Highness
"Trash! You trash! Why don't you die!" The unceremonious roar came from the communication terminal, making Cloros's face stiff.
"It's in vain that I trust you so much, I entrust this battle to you, and I have invested a huge amount of money to support your plan, but what have you brought me? Is this the brilliant victory you said?
My annual salary of hundreds of millions is just to raise a waste like you? ! "Kinloch's fat face was almost completely distorted.
More than 1000 warships were killed in the first battle. These are not cheap second-hand warships. Most of them belong to the most elite First Fleet. Those are all new and cutting-edge warships!
The Locke Consortium only has a total of more than [-] warships including the garrison fleet, which directly cut their military strength by almost half.
Thinking of the huge amount of wealth lost, Kinloch instantly felt a sense of suffocation in shock.
But this is not the worst situation, it is even worse once the news leaks...
Without the protection of force, the surrounding business environment will deteriorate sharply. Not to mention the downfall of competitors, even the Star Broken Pirates, who were living in peace before, may be ready to move.
And if the news reaches the capital market... Kinloch seems to have seen the tragic scene of the market value of his consortium falling green...
Although the Locke consortium is controlled by the Kinloch family, there are many big shots behind it.
For example, the second prince of the empire is the second largest shareholder of the Locke consortium. It is because of this relationship that Kinloch can obtain the "employment rights of vassal races" and "contracting rights for wormhole development".
But obviously, he definitely failed in his investment this time...
If shareholders withdraw their capital on a large scale due to this incident, the consequences will be disastrous!
"My lord, in fact, things may not be as bad as we thought..." Cloros said suddenly after listening to the roaring reprimand with a blank expression.
"What did you say? This isn't too bad, so wouldn't it be too bad if the whole army was wiped out?" Kinloch said angrily.
"The fleet suffered heavy losses this time. It is true that my intelligence work was not done well. I didn't expect that a mere twin star would have a near-light speed attack star.
But my plan worked just as well!
Now the opponent's fleet is almost completely wiped out, and there is no way to organize an effective resistance force in a short period of time. Next, I only need a thousand warships to occupy most of their territory.
With our advanced technological level, it is only a matter of time before we defeat Gemini by plundering resources to support wars, and at the same time purchasing a large number of warships to restore combat effectiveness.
The benefits gained from Gemini will soon make up for the losses we have suffered..."
The pie painted by Cloros successfully calmed Kinloch a little, but he still had doubts about Cloros's promise.
"Can you guarantee that the opponent's high-speed battle star will never appear again? Are you sure you can deal with it?"
"It can cause such damage to us, relying entirely on secrecy and surprise, with precautions, I have no less than ten ways to deal with it.
And... don't you think that the battle star might be the real treasure? A gleam flashed in Cloros' eyes.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Cosmic wonder!"
These four words made Kinloch's heart skip a beat.
"Hiss~ are you sure?"
"Instantly changing the motion vector of an object, this kind of dreamy technology is not something that a small Gemini can master. There is at least a [-]% or [-]% probability that the other party will obtain that kind of thing!"
Hearing this, Kinloch's breathing suddenly became a little short.
Seeing that Kinloch was already moved, Cloros hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"If we can get that thing in the end, let alone a fleet, even if all the fleets are included, it will definitely be a profitable business!" Cloros seduced with a tone full of money.
"But our current military strength is already stretched, how can we still gather the fleet to launch an attack? Once we mobilize our troops, the surrounding forces..." Kinlok frowned.
Cosmic wonders are of great value, but their own lair is fundamental.
In today's Woolf Empire, the central government has weak control over each star field. To protect its territory and property, it does not rely on the laws of the empire, but on its own giant ship and heavy artillery!
In the current situation where the troops are greatly reduced, if he continues to invest in the attack on Gemini, the defense power of his lair will drop to freezing point.
Those Star Broken Pirates are not good people. Once they know that the Locke Consortium is weakened, they will swarm like sharks that smell blood.
Even Hei Fan, his seemingly close ally, might not be able to resist coming over to take a bite of the fat!
"You don't need to worry about this at all!" Cloros smiled confidently.
"I have blocked the news for the first time and blocked all communication signals. So far, the news of our heavy loss has not been leaked.
Therefore, we only need to completely seal off the wormhole here, only to enter and not get in, and outsiders will never know the actual battle situation on the other side of the wormhole.
You only need to declare to the outside world that you have achieved a major victory in this war, and then you will gather more troops to aggressively invade the colonies of the Twin Stars, so that we can deploy troops into the Twin Stars as a cover.
Even if outsiders know that our rear is empty, they will never dare to take the risk of crazy revenge and provoke us during our "All-Out Expedition"! "
Kinloch's eyes lit up when he heard that.
The meaning of Cloros is very simple, that is, to conceal the news and make their "paper tiger" look more powerful with the power of "big victory", but...
"This news has been hidden for a while, but it won't be hidden forever." Kinlok said worriedly.
Wanting to completely defeat Gemini cannot be done overnight.
It’s okay to say that the time is short, once their main force’s “expedition” takes too long, and there is no news from the other side of the wormhole, even a fool will know that there must be something tricky inside.
"It doesn't take too long, give me half a year, and I will use a blitz to force Gemini to hand over that thing!" Cloros looked confident.
"Besides, we are busy, so naturally we can't let those pirates be too leisurely!
Isn't Heifan a little restless recently?Then let him make some big noises, as long as the Fragmentary Star Region is in chaos, who will have time to pay attention to us? "
"Oh? It seems that you have already made arrangements in the Broken Star Field?"
"Of course, my ability is absolutely worthy of the annual salary you gave me, haha!" Cloros smiled.
"Hahaha! Good! As expected of being my most capable general, then follow your plan and don't let me down again!" Kinloch had a friendly face at this time, as if it wasn't him who just ate a piece of trash. .
As long as he thinks of the strange thing he is about to get, Jinroc's heart is full of fire, and he seems to see the beautiful scene of his wealth growing wildly on a rocket...
"As you wish! My boss!"
Cloros bowed and saluted, but there was a slightly mocking smile on the corner of his mouth...
……
After hanging up the communication, Cloros curled his lips in disdain.
How dare a small merchant covet cosmic wonders?
He turned on the communicator and dialed a secret communication channel.
When the light and shadow of a handsome young man appeared in front of him, Cloros couldn't help showing a trace of heat in his eyes, and immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully.
"Your faithful servant Cloros, see Your Highness..."
