"I've been promised some kind of thing."
The old man replied.
Xu Le vaguely thought of something from this sentence, bowed his head and was silent.
"What we need most now is ammunition and military training.
Battleships and mechs are definitely something that you Federation people are reluctant to give, so please support us with enough guns and ammunition. ” "I think that's the biggest problem about how to send it over."
Xu Le raised his head and frowned and asked.
"You've been on the run for a year, and it doesn't seem like you're very clear about the current situation in the universe."
The old man said: "Your army has reached the southwest galaxy, and the entire space passage has been completely controlled by you, so it is not difficult to transport ammunition and weapons. ” In Xu Le's concept or impression, the Federation and the Empire are extremely distant existences separated by countless light years, whether it is six and a half years in the straight membrane space, or through the space channel, it makes the communication between the two sides very difficult, so there was such a question before, until he heard the words of the leader of Vos, he remembered that his heroic comrades-in-arms had already fought, and in an instant, an inexplicable excitement and desire poured into his body, and he couldn't wait to return to those guys' side and return to that dangerous battlefield.
"It's best to keep the smile on your lips under control."
Voss said indifferently: "The aggressor's smile is very piercing. ” The old man tapped a page in the document with trembling fingers and continued: "In addition, I hope that your troops will not enter this star field, and my organization and I will never allow you to really harvest our planet. ” "I can't really promise that."
Xu Le said directly.
Old Man Voss did not continue the topic, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then I ask your troops to remain calm enough on the occupied administrative star, and try not to harm civilians as much as possible. ” "Yes."
Xu Le replied without the slightest hesitation, and then added, "But the right to define civilians and the army must be determined by us, and it is impossible for me to make my own colleagues pay senseless sacrifices in order to avoid accidentally injuring the civilians of the empire." ” "As for the location of military training, I think this smuggling interstellar passage is more appropriate.
The requirements mentioned in the document are actually two sides of the same coin, and our economic resources mainly depend on this smuggling route. ” "Speaking of the economy, I hope that your political axe will give generous material assistance.
Remember, it is the currency of the Federation of Convertible Goods, which is equivalent to waste paper in the Empire. ” Xu Le patiently listened to the old man list the conditions of the resistance group one by one, until finally his mood finally became a little strange, his right hand pressed on the document, frowned and asked: "I only see our obligations, where the rights are, what can you do?"
"We'll send you back to your troops alive."
Voss looked him in the eye and said calmly.
"It's not enough."
Xu Le looked at the old man's cloudy eyes and said very seriously.
"We will provide you with information on the deployment of the Imperial Imperial Empire's direct troops, coordinate the relationship between you and the people of the occupied administrative stars, and help maintain order in the administrative stars."
After a pause, Voss replied with a smile, what he said was exactly the trickiest aspect of the Federation forces after they entered the Imperial Star Field.
"I doubt your abilities."
Xu Le glanced downstairs, shook his head and said, "I even doubt that the influence of the resistance group you lead can expand beyond this slum. ” "The fact that I was able to get you out of the Master Fan Mansion is a testament to our abilities."
"No, I don't believe you're capable of doing that."
Xu Le stared at his eyes and said, "Someone is helping you, who is that person?"
The old man's cloudy gaze fell on the paper, ignoring his seemingly impolite question.
"Do you want me to believe that with these unorganized and undisciplined gangsters downstairs, you can break through the conditions you promised to encircle the imperial troops, coordination, security, and intelligence, I can't believe that you can do it, even if all the underworld emperors in the entire imperial star field are your most fanatical supporters, the same is true."
"You underestimate our strength and seriously lack experience in administration."
The old man slowly raised his head, looked at him and said, "To maintain the security of the occupied planet, to intimidate the parents, wives and children of those hot-blooded guerrillas, and to search for the information you need from the dark night, there is no one more suitable than these underworld elements." ” Xu Le was silent, and found that although what the other party said seemed ridiculous, it was actually very reasonable, he shook his head and asked: "These underworld elements extort money, do all kinds of evil, and can enjoy a rich and indulgent life, why would they follow you and risk death to resist the emperor, and don't you worry that it will be a very dangerous thing for the resistance organization to be full of such careerists and butchers?"
"To find light in a society as dangerous as the Empire, we must unite all the forces that can be united.
Although Mu En is engaged in many shady careers and is a mafia leader who is feared or admired by many, he is a high-ranking cadre of the organization, and he and his gang are one of the most reliable armed forces of the resistance. ” "Like us, Muen was born as a pariah, and his entire family died under the butcher's knives of the imperial thieves, so we never doubted his loyalty, because we had the same painful experience and determination to change the world."
"Just like you, you are a member of the Federation, and you don't have to doubt your determination to return to the Federation."
The old man's gaze at him suddenly softened, and he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you on behalf of many people in the Empire. ” "Thank me" "You have lived in Tianjing Star for nearly a year, and perhaps in your opinion, the class contradictions in the empire have not intensified to the point of being out of control, but that is because you have not had the opportunity to go to other planets to see those planets that are red with the blood of untouchables."
Cold flames jumped in the old man's eyes: "Tianjing Star is the face of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally not allow too bloody massacres, and on those planets where the untouchables dare to resist, His Majesty the Emperor's butcher's knife has never been sheathed." ” "Caton is his biggest butcher's knife, and tens of millions of rebels and innocent civilians died under his bloody suppression, which became a bargaining chip for his promotion."
"In the past few years, Emperor Fucha has snubbed him, and he doesn't want to have too much to do with the blood in the hands of this butcher."
"Caton died at your hands, and thousands of heads who are unwilling to close their eyes and their relatives who are still alive will thank you for avenging them.
For example, Mu En, whom you just met, his sister died under the iron hooves of Caton's direct division. ” Xu Le paused for a moment and explained, "I'm avenging myself, and I didn't think of this when I killed Caton. ” "But he died at your hands after all."
Old Man Voss smiled and said, "So it's easier to convince the young people within the organization to make some kind of deal with you. ” "Well, I admit that you are an excellent persuader, and I personally agree with this agreement."
Xu Le said: "But I have been thinking about a question, according to your political philosophy and program, if the federal forces continue to penetrate, if the imperial Hibiscus Dynasty really falls, then you and I will definitely have a fierce war again." ” "But that's a long time later."
Old Man Voss didn't hide anything in front of Xu Le, and said simply and clearly: "You invaders are the second mountain in front of us, and we have to overturn a mountain first."
As for your political axe officials, after getting this agreement, they will definitely have similar views. ” "At the current stage of history, we can be friends."
"In later historical stages, we will inevitably be enemies."
"As for what will become of the relationship between the Federation and the Empire in the rivers of more ancient history, let it be left to the Creator."
The old man in front of him constantly shifts between the three roles of the respected leader of the resistance, a ruthless businessman full of speculation, and a philosopher who summarizes complex futures with simple concepts with a nihilistic atmosphere, and this transition makes Xu Le feel a little strange, and he always feels that this atmosphere is very familiar.
Naturally, he thought of Shi Gongzi's uncle at the Double Moon Festival Dance, the most legendary figure in Qinglong Mountain, and couldn't help frowning slightly, smelling some kind of weird smell.

"The last question is a repetition question."
He looked at the old man in the chair and said, "Who rescued me from the Master's Mansion?"
"It's us."
"I don't believe it."
Because of the long-term war, Xu Le did not have even the slightest favor towards all the people of the empire in the past, and he did not have the slightest interest in the internal political struggle of the enemy country.
After staying in the slums of Tianjing Star Capital City for nearly a year, especially Aunt Susan and Paul in that warm courtyard, his mentality gradually changed.
Deep down, he knew that the poor and less free people of the lower classes of the empire had a natural right name to rebel against the rule of the imperial family, and in an emotional position, he sympathized with the oppressed, but he still did not take the initiative to do something.
Because as Professor Lin said, there has never been any truth in the universe, and naturally there is no real fairness, as a citizen of the Federation, the first thing he has to protect is the Federation, and what he has to maintain is something worth maintaining within the Federation.
The joys and sorrows of human beings may be connected, if it is recognized that the Federation and the Imperial are both human beings, the Federation people should also be able to clearly feel the sadness or joy of the Imperial people, but the snow in front of their own house has not been swept away, even if they see the eaves of the other courtyard collapse, what can they do The problem is that now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and he has sat under the crumbling eaves of someone else's courtyard, and has to be forced to join forces with the owner of this courtyard and work hard in the wind and snow.
Xu Le sat on the balcony on the second floor of the repair shop, looking at the blackened slum buildings in the Tianjing Star Capital, and sighed.
