The lord of salted fish does not want to engage in construction

The roar gradually weakened as the huge survival base completed the landing procedure, and the silence in the central hall became prominent.

All were seated safely in their safe seats without any commotion.

No one stood up impatiently until the safety warning light went off.

Orderly.

After waiting for a full 3 minutes and still not hearing any instructions, a person sitting in the center seat of the first row stood up.

Turning around neatly, his eyes swept over the more than 200 people behind him.

"Confirm the overall safety situation, and report the numbers in order, starting from the left."

A total of 279 people, no one has any objection.

After checking the numbers, a new voice sounded in the room.

The sound connected to the command center finally started to work, and the voice that everyone was waiting for came out: "Hi everyone, welcome to planet No. [-] to join our easy base. I am your new lord, Rong Di."

The leading commander turned around upon hearing this, instead of sitting down, he raised his eyes to look at the camera in front of the hall.

As if sensing his gaze, Rong Di said again, "Have you checked the situation of the personnel? Are there any problems?"

"Hello, Lord Rongdi. All the staff of the temporary base have landed safely, a total of 279 people. Confirmation has been completed. Please instruct the next step." The commander raised his head and reported with a firm and powerful voice.

This airy look is very confident, putting it on ordinary people, it will make people doubt his intentions.

But this person did not actually show any dissatisfaction or suspicion.

Although there is no logo on the clothing, and there is nothing special in the movements, the military color of the commander is still very obvious.

After all, he was sent by the military.

Moreover, it was a face that Rong Di recognized.

He called out the other party's name: "Let's disband at the same place first. Everyone settles down individually, according to your original distribution. Come to the command room after Jun's settlement."

The people on the screen started to act in an orderly manner because of Rong Di's words, making very little noise, as if everyone knew exactly what they should do.

This is in sharp contrast to the scene when Coastal No. [-] landed.

Rong Di stopped communicating with the voice over there after speaking three sentences.

Beside him, Ren Zimo showed a surprised expression because of the name he heard: "Congjun? This seems to be the name of our No.3 in the same period?"

"It's him." After speaking, Rong Di sighed lightly, "It's really surprising that he was sent here."

"He's also from the military?" Ren Zimo was even more surprised, "You knew it beforehand?"

Rong Di nodded: "At the configuration warehouse of the origin spaceport, they were next to us, do you remember? We met and said hello at that time."

"I didn't notice..." Ren Zimo regretted, "They also failed?"

Rong Di flipped through the rookie file that he had just received, and the first thing he saw was Cong Jun, whose identity as the base lord of Phase 214 was also listed on it.After him, there are still dozens of people with the same resume.Then, in the future, people with older qualifications began to appear.

None of these people's resumes have the identity mark of "official soldier".

However, there are records of ability assessments related to starships or mechas.

"It's all about talent."

******

On the warship, as soon as the dropped survival base landed, another message marked as "suspicious" appeared, which made the soldiers who had just relaxed be more vigilant.

Keith immediately asked in a serious tone: "What's the situation?"

"Suspicious movement traces were captured in orbit around the world, but the source could not be determined." The security officer who received the warning reported back immediately.

"Yes, yes, no, no, why can't it be judged? All nearby waterways should be within the monitoring range." Keith dissatisfied.

The security officer was silent for a while, and his eyes scanned his work interface again: "It is impossible to fully confirm whether it is the traces of autonomous flying inorganic objects, or there are other new routes that can pass through small starships. After the new supplementary detection conditions were launched ten days ago , it’s starting to happen.”

"We discovered this situation again." The deputy standing aside frowned and suggested to Keith, "Sir, can we take this opportunity to continue the thorough investigation? The environment here is safer than the front line."

Keith nodded, and then couldn't help but think of what Jundi said in the last call, suggesting that there might be a problem with Planet One.

"Sir, Lord Yi's communication signal has been connected."

"You guys continue to investigate." After Keith ordered, he turned and entered the captain's room which was separated separately at the rear.

The last conversation between the two parties was conducted directly in the driving command room. Other soldiers would not interrupt, but they would still hear the content of the conversation.

But this time the situation is different from before, Keith is more cautious.

After the pleasantries, Keith cut straight to the point.The possible traces he discovered just now made him more concerned about the strange issue. First, let’s talk about the history of Planet One that Rongdi asked last time: "I found the base you mentioned from the military rescue records of previous years."

"Huh?" Rong Di in the picture showed a rather surprised look, "He was rescued by the military?"

"Indeed, 22 years ago in the federal calendar, the patrol force came across a request for help from the Hoshino Administration Bureau. The people rescued at that time belonged to the 'East Gate Base'. An unknown threat caused the lord to die for unknown reasons, while the rest of the personnel were basically undamaged. Military investigators were unable to find the source of the lord's poisoning death, so they assisted in the overall transfer."

"'East Gate Base'? The name sounds familiar."

"Yes." Keith nodded again, "Three of the people who sent you here last time were members of the East Gate base. But they don't know the administrative number of the planet, and they may not know that they have returned to the original place." You can learn more about the specific situation at that time. I checked the information of Hoshino East District over the years, and found no other records about Planet One. "

"Is this your white area of ​​concern?" Rong Di asked again.

"That's right, the turmoil over the years, including the star beast tide, has not affected this planet. So you can rest assured that it is very safe except for the incident at the East Gate Base. There may be a misunderstanding in that incident."

Keith looked calm as he spoke.But in fact, he was not so calm when he discovered this situation.

Hoshino East District has always been famous for its difficulty in governance. In the consensus of the military, it is often described as "inches of scorched earth".

So, Keith was very surprised when he found out about this.

It was precisely because of this discovery that General Liu was finally firm in his decision to provide assistance for the second time.

Safety is also what the military department values.

Keith didn't fully reveal it, but Jundi seemed not to be fooled, and he immediately asked another question: "So, the people sent this time are different from the last time, and they are not just to help us out, right? Safe?"

"It's not just a rescue." Keith didn't hide anything, "The cost of these two times is not the same, so this time there are conditions."

Without waiting for him to explain the specific content, Rong Di asked again: "Is it a condition or an order?"

Keith couldn't help frowning slightly: "It's a condition and an order. It depends on how you respond. The latest situation, this round of star beast tide has been shrinking in stages, but the range of activities has overflowed the federal border. It is suspected that some star beast groups have moved into the empty area The defense level of all border outposts of the military department has been improved. But in terms of the characteristics of the activities of the star beast tide, our outposts are not enough."

"So you want to establish an outpost here?" Rong Di immediately followed Keith's rhythm and responded immediately, "But I am not interested in becoming a direct subordinate of the military department in the actual sense, if this is the price of receiving aid."

His refusal was very straightforward, without any hesitation, and he seemed completely unconcerned about the possibility of conflict with the military.

Even if the aid has fallen to the ground, it is difficult to take it back.

Few people can still maintain such a confident attitude when interacting with the military.

Fortunately, Keith also understood Rongdi's previous behavior, so he didn't feel disgusted.

But he couldn't help sighing that when preparing for this negotiation with Yi Base, General Liu's insight was still more accurate: "Outposts and strategic material production sites are all things the military hopes to have on Planet One. Deployment, but this does not include your team. This time, on behalf of my superior, General Liu, Commander of the Hoshino East District of the Military Department, conveyed the intention of cooperation. If our strategic goal can be achieved, the Humans are members of the outposts and production bases of the future. But until these two strategic goals are built, they are available to you."

At the strategic level of the military, such an attempt is not the first, but it is not known to outsiders.

After listening to Rong Di, his face remained unchanged, and he even nodded slightly: "Planet No. [-] is huge, and it can indeed accommodate more than us. General Liu's meaning is equivalent to using the value of talent support services to buy the space of Planet No. [-]. This The method is really good, and it can kill three birds with one stone, that is, it has helped the development of our base, can further put pressure on the Hoshino Administration, and has chosen an excellent entry point for the development of low-cost outposts. Supervise the situation here so that it is not too beyond your control. The admiral is indeed worthy of being the backbone of the Federal Army."

Keith didn't deny it, but just looked at Rongdi quietly.

Supervision means that there must be some, but they have their own limits.

The final key is whether Rongdi can accept it.

"That's okay. There is no problem with this transaction for the time being. As for the future situation, let's talk about it."

Rong Di didn't think about it for too long, and he was still as straightforward as Keith remembered.The look of hesitation never seemed to appear on him.Rong Di also showed a meaningful smile, and added: "Maybe you will be the first to change your mind in the future."

This seems to be incomprehensible as the expression of "speaking harshly" caught Keith's attention, but before he could ask, Rong Di seemed to have no more desire to communicate, and ended the conversation: "Please help me convey the message to the general. Thank you, again, yes!"

******

"Are we going to cooperate with the military?" Ren Zimo said after finishing the call, still worried.

But he also expressed a part of the meaning of approval: "From the perspective of the personnel levels that appear, the military department is still more sincere in cooperation than the Hoshino Administration."

"A large colonel, and a commander-in-chief of a sub-district station, are out of reach of ordinary people." Rong Di is fairly familiar with the ranks of the military department, and he discovered the clue last time.Keith's military rank is much higher than he expected, "But the military department is indeed more urgent than the Hoshino Administration. Their actual pressure is greater, and they don't care about the same things."

"Then you want to agree?"

"Why not?" Rong Di didn't intend to control this place to death.

"Then what were you hesitating just now?" Ren Zimo was a little curious, "During the call, you were distracted for a while."

Rong Di turned his head to look at the deputy lord, but he didn't expect his trance to be noticed.

He did get distracted for a moment, while Keith was talking about the information.

The startled awakening in his mind made him catch a trace of concern, but because of the interference of other information, he still hasn't recalled what he cared about at that moment.

Because he doesn't care about many things, he rarely makes such unclear judgments.

The situation of planet No. [-] is the most noteworthy content now, and the three people from the East Gate base that Keith mentioned are Geng Jun, Lu Dong and Yu Chang, who are now capable.

But there is nothing unusual about these three people, and they also spared no effort in helping Fu Taiping in Coast No. [-].

What could it be that could touch him?

The author has something to say: Ren Zimo: What were you hesitating just now?

Rong Di: (instantly lost in thought, silent)...

Ren Zimo:! ! ! (After Congjun, he actually has a new secret?)
