"I have said for a long time that negotiations can not solve any problems. We must declare our position before the first fleet installs new equipment! Force them to recognize the status quo! "

The so-called status quo is the reality that Martians can get better development under the rule of Martians. From now on, they will no longer need to give blood to the "suzerain" economically. They will no longer need to sell cheap industrial costs to cover the needs of tens of billions of people's consumer goods. They will formulate tariffs and immigration policies to protect the rights and interests of Martians, rather than only looking forward to the Pan Asian horse as before

Gao Ruiming, Xiao Hong's office secretary and his staff, said this. It can even be said that Xiao Hong has at least half the credit for being mayor of Tiangong city so smoothly.

"There are still dreams, Mr. Secretary General of the future. It's best if we can avoid war. If we can't, at least we have a moral advantage. "

Looking at the reply on the holographic screen, especially when reading the section of sending troops, Xue Hong's eyes floated a light worry.

What he worries about is not the future of the individual or the fate of Pan Asian cooperation, but the inevitable moment in history when there was a better solution.

That is to say, the first is to establish a fair expansion of the Mars Defense Fleet, and then wait until the strength of the second fleet is equal to that of the first fleet, and then further help their friend, other Mars cities to achieve independence, and finally slowly seek their own independence.

But for now, it seems that Li Guangya is not going to give them this opportunity.

The two moves of exercise and garrison almost cut off his thinking in this respect.

"Obviously, the olive branch we threw was in exchange for the shackles on our hands and feet," said Xue Hong, who turned off the reply from the Pan Asian authorities with regret as his index finger swept across the holographic screen If only that accident had been successful a year ago. "

The so-called accident naturally refers to the hijacking of flight n-177 a year ago.

According to their original plan, the hijacked n-177 flight will directly hit the space station Tianzhou, and the generated space garbage will directly reduce the navigation safety factor of the whole synchronous orbit by two levels, which will seriously affect the supply of the space station Yuegong and the space base Lagrange.

At that time, they only need to take over the supply line of the space base at Lagrange point and at the same time propose to the Pan Asian authorities to strengthen the asteroid belt patrol. The Pan Asian authorities have little choice.

They can strengthen the autonomy of Mars colony and expand the scale of Mars Defense Fleet, and finally achieve the real sense of independence.

Xiao Hong even thought about the name at that time. However, who would have thought that an old man who had been sleeping for 100 years had mixed up with the dead flight with a fake passport that he didn't know where to get.

If it's just like this, it's a big deal. This guy woke up and died on that flight, but no one thought that this guy actually killed the hijacker.

As a result, their plans were not only all disrupted, but also forced to lie dormant for a whole year. If the global economy is not hit hard by the intelligence crisis, which leads to the further upgrading of Pan Asian cooperation's industrial dependence on the back garden of Mars, they may have to endure for another few years

However, it is obviously impossible to continue to bear it.

The warp speed technology has been broken through. Once superluminal communication and superluminal cruise are realized, the advantage of Mars colony in distance will no longer exist. Pan Asian cooperation will certainly recover the autonomy of Mars in the first time.

Or at least, they will become a new special economic zone just like Guanghan.

"It's no use regretting what happened. What we have to do now is that they have handed the knife to our neck," Gao continued in a serious tone, staring at the mayor behind his desk. "If we don't act again, we will be very passive."

Xue Hong pondered for a while, looked at his office secretary and asked.

"How are you doing?"

Hearing this, Gao Ruiming's face finally showed a smile and said in a confident voice.

"Thanks to the expansion of our capacity due to the order demand for space elevators and the actions of the alien colony Foundation Now we can build ships in a synchronous orbit and transfuse our fleet. As far as our commander's feedback is concerned, the number of starships we have has reached 50. Although there is still a certain gap between the size of starships and the first fleet, with the advantages of supply and waterway, as well as the support of other air thieves, as long as we turn this war into a protracted war, we will win at last. "

Xiao Hong sighed and shook his head.

"Quantity doesn't make any sense. The key is quality. A star ship with a curved engine is facing a star ship equipped with a traditional engine, just like a jet plane is facing a propeller plane. Do you know what I mean? We need warp speed. That's our only chance. So what I need to confirm now is whether EAI's Mars plant has started to produce orders from the first fleet. If so, how long will it take to complete the production of the second 'full' engine? "It is said that the transition speed of the full version is several times faster than that of the demo version, and it can even surpass the speed of light completely, spanning a distance of 1-2au in a few seconds.

If the first fleet is fully equipped with such engines, they don't have to think about getting rid of the Pan Asian cooperation control. Let alone the solar system, which is an acre of land, is that the world outside the solar system will be under their control.

Seeing the fear in mayor Xiao's eyes, Gao Ruiming nodded slightly.

"I see what you mean."

"Just understand," Mayor Xiao nodded. "You should know what to do."

……

It's located in a house on the edge of Tiangong city.

A man in a brown windbreaker handed a black card to Wang Peng and said.

"I have sorted out all the information you need. The basic information is the same as what I told you last time. At present, we have enough evidence to prove that the spirit of the universe foundation has transferred the base area from the earth to here. During this period, I have been tracking the clues in this respect But what's interesting is that recently I've found something very interesting. "

After receiving the card with important information, Wang Peng cast his eyes to inquire.

"What?"

"Remember the plane crash a year ago?"

Slightly frowned, Wang Peng said in an uncertain tone.

"You mean Flight n-177? "

"That's right."

"Of course, do you have any questions?"

Remember what happened when he just woke up from this era.

Wang Peng still remembers that it was when director Li came to visit him that they saw the news of the hijacking of flight n-177 on the screen of holographic TV.

And it was at that time that he learned that the boat was still alive.

The man in the brown windbreaker nodded his head, looked at the white board with photos hanging on the wall, and his face showed a worried expression.

“…… Maybe it's just that I think more about it. When I investigated the entry and exit records, I found several names that should not have appeared on them, as well as a batch of goods that have not been examined and passed the customs. And when I followed these clues, I found the characters n-177. "

"You mean Is the hijacking of flight n-177 actually the act of the foundation? "

"If only it were that simple," said the man in the brown windbreaker, shaking his head with a complex expression, "I found a name I shouldn't have in a signed document."

Wang Peng: "who?"

"The current mayor," the man continued, looking at him, "I checked his resume. At this time last year, he was director of the colonial customs service."

Hearing this, Wang Peng's eyes showed a solemn expression.

"I'll pay attention to it."

"Well, please," the man continued, with a helpless expression and a shrug of his shoulders, "after all, with my authority, I am not qualified to investigate such a big man. Besides, I have an immature suggestion. "

Wang Peng looked at him seriously and asked, "you say."

"It's better to find academician Lu as soon as possible," the man continued, speculating, "if flight n-177 is really related to mayor Xiao Isn't his situation a little more delicate? "
