Machine War: Infinite Frontier

To return to Shuguang Heavy Industry, you need to pass through the dense restricted area defense line. It is a bit unpleasant that the originally quiet place has turned into such a mess.

Not long after returning to the villa, Xiao Yun was about to take off his clothes and rest, but Regeni hurriedly appeared and woke Xiao Yun up from the bed again.

"Sir, the leader of the investigation team is here to visit."

"It's annoying, it doesn't let people have a good rest, right?" Xiao Yun sighed and walked downstairs, even changing into a neat suit to show his attention.

At this moment, he saw a man wearing the uniform of the new unified army standing in the hall, with his hands behind his back as if he was visiting this villa specially built for Xiao Yun.

The other party's airs were very big. When Xiao Yun walked up to him, he had no intention of extending his hand to be polite. The sense of superiority of a superior person was vividly displayed when he stood there. He was a little taller than Xiao Yun, so his gaze was naturally a little bit... Condescending.

He is about thirty or forty years old, with an ordinary appearance but a burly build, and his ears are obviously different from those of normal humans.

Regeni pushed up his glasses and began to introduce: "Sir, this is Brigadier General Franco, the leader of the investigation team. Brigadier General Franco, this is my boss Shizhen Xiaoyun."

Franco nodded lightly: "Shi Zhen Xiao Yun, I have heard about the famous name for a long time."

Xiao Yun raised his hand with a smile: "I'm sorry, this is the first time I know about Brigadier General today, please."

"No need." Franco maintained an indifferent expression and said, "I came here to meet you today because I wanted to see what kind of person Shi Zhen Xiaoyun is, and I also came here to ask you to cooperate with the investigation."

"Investigation?" Xiao Yun nodded and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean, Brigadier. What you want to investigate requires my cooperation."

"You will know when the time comes." Franco raised his hand: "Please, Mr. Shizhen Xiaoyun."

Regeni smiled slightly: "Brigadier General Franco, we will cooperate with the investigation team's work, but it would be inappropriate to take my boss away."

Franco said indifferently: "Everyone has the responsibility to unconditionally cooperate with the investigation team's work. Do you think there is anything inappropriate? If you feel there is any dissatisfaction or inappropriateness, you are welcome to complain to the central government."

However, Xiao Yun laughed, raised his finger and pointed at Regeni and said with a smile: "The Brigadier General came here personally to invite you. This face must be given, please, Brigadier General Franco."

Franco glanced at Xiao Yun, twitched the corners of his mouth as if he was smiling, turned around and strode out of the villa.

Regeni quickly said to Xiao Yun: "Sir, we actually don't need to pay attention to them. The investigation team only has investigation responsibilities but no jurisdiction. Even if they cooperate with the investigation, they can be at the place designated by us."

Xiao Yun shook his head indifferently: "It would be a bit offending if the top leader of the investigation team appeared in person. If you don't give them a chance, how can you figure out what they want to do."

Regeni was a little helpless: "Then please be more careful, I will have people ready at all times."

"Um."

Xiao Yun nodded and walked out. The White Wolf Team also gathered outside the door and began to vaguely confront the people from the Central United Army Investigation Team outside.

Franco couldn't see these people from the White Wolf Team at all, and said directly to Xiao Yun: "Please get in the car."

Xiao Yun shrugged his shoulders and got into the car directly. Regeni followed him out and ordered the members of the White Wolf Team outside: "Follow your Excellency, don't let Your Majesty encounter danger."

"receive."

A member of the White Wolf Team in white clothes was also arrogant. He opened the passenger car of the car Xiao Yun was sitting in and got in. The surrounding members of the investigation team became nervous and wanted to raise their weapons one by one. Call people down.

But they just thought that the White Wolf team was faster, and before they could react, all the long guns and short guns were set up.

Regeni slowly came to Brigadier General Franco and said with a smile: "Sorry, it is their responsibility to protect you. The meaning of their existence is to protect you from leaving their sight. Brigadier General Franco also hopes that you can understand."

"snort."

Franco snorted, and Xiao Yun's voice sounded in his ears: "Hurry up, Brigadier General Franco, we have given you the position, it's time for us to set off!"

Franco looked intently and saw Xiao Yun, who had already gotten into the car, waving to him, and patted the vacant space thoughtfully to indicate that he should get in the car quickly.

Inexplicably, Franco felt a little annoyed. Xiao Yun's behavior made him feel that it was more irritating than the scene of the confrontation with guns drawn. What on earth did this guy think of the investigation team's cooperation with the investigation? Spring outing?

Regeni raised his hand with a smile on his face: "Please, Brigadier General Franco."

Franco looked at Regeni, then at Xiao Yun who was impatient, and got into the car with a dark face under the gunfire.

"go back."

The driver nodded and wanted to start the car, but there was someone standing in front of the car to block him. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Brigadier Franco behind him, not knowing what to do.

"Shizhen Xiaoyun, are you refusing to cooperate?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "It's okay, I'm very cooperative. Hey, what's the situation in front of you?"

The co-pilot member of the White Wolf Team quickly replied: "BOSS, guys need to prepare. They'll be ready soon."

Xiao Yun glanced at Brigadier General Franco: "Wait a minute?"

Franco grinded his teeth so hard that he almost made a sound. He closed his eyes and completely ignored Xiao Yun beside him.

Franco ignored Xiao Yun and didn't make him feel bored. He looked at the person sitting in the passenger seat and asked, "I've seen you before."

The person in the co-pilot nodded helplessly: "Yes BOSS, I am James, James Cooper."

Xiao Yun clapped his hands and laughed: "I remember, white clothes. You like white very much. You are also wearing white today. Keep it up."

James twitched the corner of his mouth twice and sat back down, but continued to maintain the same attitude. The combat uniforms of the all-White Wolves were almost always black. If he continued to maintain the white color, wouldn't he be clearly telling the enemy that the bullets were coming towards him? Normally, that would be fine. Only a fool would dress himself in white again when fighting.

When the White Wolf team members were ready, the people in front of the car automatically moved out of the way so that the team could set off, and soon left the territory of Sugon Heavy Industries.

There were four people in the car. James didn't want to talk to Xiao Yun, nor did Brigadier General Franco. It was even more impossible for the one driving the car to say anything to Xiao Yun, which made Xiao Yun look a little bored.

All the way to the military management area of ​​the main island, the convoy was blocked again at the gate.

Feeling that the car had stopped, Franco, who had closed his eyes and slept all the way, opened his eyes, frowned and asked unhappily: "What happened again?"

Xiao Yun tilted his head and looked ahead: "It seems that the new unified management of the ship group has blocked the road in front. Otherwise, I will go down to clear the road, and I will delay everything day by day. I will be the first to do whatever I can't do." ”

Franco opened and closed his mouth slightly, and glanced at Xiao Yun with a strange look under his frown.

But there was no need for Xiao Yun to go down to clear things up. Another person, also wearing a new unified uniform, appeared next to the car and gently knocked on the window.

Franco looked outside and opened the door with a dark face and got out of the car. Xiao Yun also joined in the fun and opened the door and got out of the car. Then he waved lightly at the visitor and said hello: "Schneizel, we meet again."

"Mr. Shizhen." Schneizel nodded in the direction of Xiao Yun, then looked at Commodore Franco and said, "Commodore Franco is planning to take the important business leaders of our fleet to where, Shi Sugon Heavy Industries and Shuguang PMC controlled by Mr. Zhen are very important to Frontier and are related to the livelihood security of countless citizens in the fleet. Commodore Franco went too far by taking people away without informing them. "

Facing Schneizel, Frank felt unhappy and could only respond proactively: "Assistant Schneizel, don't worry, I just asked Mr. Shizhen to cooperate with the investigation. After the investigation is completed, Mr. Shizhen will definitely be found." Send the injured ones back.”

Schneizel was even more arrogant and arrogant than Franco. His tone was unwavering and his expression was as cold as an iceberg: "Since this is an investigation and it concerns us Frontier, we Frontier should also have the right to know. I'm ready. We have found a place, please ask Brigadier General Franco to move."

After saying that, Schneizel turned to Xiao Yun and said, "Mr. Shizhen, please come with me."

"That's it." Xiao Yun nodded and said nonchalantly: "You guys are too casual, okay, okay, anyway, I will cooperate with you today and I will do whatever you ask me to do. Just walk."

"Mr. Shizhen, please, I have already prepared Mr. Shizhen's favorite tea and the cigars provided by the president."

Xiao Yun waved his hand and followed Schneizel away. Brigadier General Franco gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his eyes showing more gloominess, but now he could only helplessly follow behind the two of them.

In terms of rank alone, Schneizel, as an auxiliary officer, is higher than Franco's brigadier general. But speaking of the position, of course the Central New Unified Army has more cards, but after the advent of the new unification era, various ship groups They are all autonomous, and whether they can succumb to the new integration of the central government also depends on the situation. Sometimes they have to give face, but if they face a mere investigation team, if they give face, then they really give face.

Xiao Yun was brought by Schneizel into a reception room in the base of the military control area. As expected, tea and cigars were prepared, and the table was filled with fruits and snacks.

Brigadier General Franco stood outside the door and did not come in for the time being. Only Schneizel and Xiao Yun were doing whatever they were supposed to do inside.

At this time, at Dawn Heavy Industries, Kruse was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and didn't take Xiao Yun's being taken to heart at all. He was holding paper documents in his hand and looking at them slowly.

Xiao Yun being taken away is not too unexpected. The investigation team wants to create a big scene. Now Shuguang Heavy Industry is an important link that cannot be avoided. If Xiao Yun is not taken away, how can the investigation team exert pressure? Even if it is not If you want to put pressure on people and talk about cooperation, you have to find a convenient place. If you want to talk about cooperation, you need to find a convenient place. This is definitely the case for the investigation team.

Kruse was also seizing the time to make up lessons at this time, but what he made up for in the lessons was about history and politics, and the relationship between the unified central government and the autonomous government of the ship group. From time to time, he used the computer to check information and other things to support it. .

"The old unification was ruthless and didn't have many harsh words. It put a lot of pressure on the various fleets. The high degree of centralization led to the alienation of the colonies and fleets. The new unity is interesting. They love each other and don't care about anything unless the colonies and fleets tell them. Ask for help, but once you ask for help, you are giving up your autonomy. Interestingly, there are many things hidden under this system. Grasp the core and let go of the restrictions to let the colonial fleets and consortiums compete with each other. They can enjoy it effortlessly from behind. Success has more means than the Federation No. 0."

"It is also for this reason that private PMCs and PMUs have risen rapidly, becoming the most direct and effective means of force besides the self-raised military forces of various fleets and colonies, and there are no cumbersome procedures."

Regeni was standing in front of Cruze at this time: "Master Cruze, what does Mr. Cruze think the purpose of this investigation team is."

"Perhaps the biggest goal is FOLD crystallization."

After speaking, Kruse looked at a very huge purple crystal on the table in front of him: "It took six people to sacrifice something dug out of the Vajra battleship class center. How long can such a large piece be used?"

Regeni looked at it and said: "The mass of this piece alone is already greater than all the crystals we have obtained before. If necessary, it can be completely consumed by just carrying out FOLD technological transformation on one warship."

Cruze nodded slightly: "Let's think about the worst aspect. Even if everything the Galaxy fleet did is not known to the new unity, it can be speculated that someone sent the information to the new unity. It cannot be "Excluding the possibility that some people want to continue to complete the original plan for Galaxy, we need to be prepared for this."

Regeni smiled slightly: "Save the world?"

Kruse smiled lightly and said: "It could also be world domination. The worst case scenario is that the new integration is interested in the Dimension Devourer under the FOLD technology system and FOLD's new jump engine. In addition, the new FOLD wave communication can also It greatly enhances the centralized power of the new centralized government. After all, even if it is freeing now, it still needs to be intimidated to maintain its current status. FOLD crystals, FOLD technology, singers, and vajra larvae that can be used as tickets are now all in our hands. On hand, there is also the Galaxy main island that only we know about, and Sugon Heavy Industry is indeed a bit too much in the way. "

"Sometimes I think about how he could hold all the cards in his hands unknowingly in such a short period of time. When the local forces react and suddenly find that their neck is stuck, everyone will be anxious. If he gets some more reports, No normal person would think that we have nothing to do with this series of events, and it is even possible to imagine that we are the real mastermind behind everything.”

Regeni shook his head: "Obviously I am involved in many things, but I do find it all a bit incredible. Master Xiao Yun is indeed worthy of being Master Xiao Yun."

Kruse stood up: "Now the investigation team is also starting to attack, and I suddenly feel a little worried."

Regeni asked: "What is Mr. Cruze worried about?"

Cruze glanced at Regeni and said calmly: "Your Lord Xiao Yun may choose to jump back next time. I don't think he has the patience to play slowly with the new unity. It would be more difficult to just flip the table." It fits his character." (End of chapter)
