Chapter 70: Good Pull

What is noteworthy is that after the successful launch, watching the live broadcast of the personnel near the launch base on Planet Walker, none of them stood up to celebrate or applaud as the personnel on other planets imagined. Instead, they just quietly lined up and returned to the military vehicles after the launch and evacuated in an orderly manner, as if this was just an ordinary mission launch.

For a time, speculation about the conspiracy theory of Volk's military power filled the entire boring area of ​​the Star Network platform.

Of course, Fu Qianshen had told Mo Siming and the others in advance that this was Shengxia's initiative. She specifically mentioned that the soldiers should not get too excited after the launch and should maintain the calm and seriousness that is required in combat.

Of course, there is another more important reason. These soldiers did not know that the missiles they launched contained cargo to be delivered, and what the consequences would be if the launch failed.

Everything passed uneventfully. Shengxia also emphasized to him again and again that this mission must maintain a rigorous yet relatively relaxed atmosphere to avoid making the soldiers nervous.

As for the surrounding star field forces and even the Federal Bureau, the series of problems caused by the successful delivery were enough to make them a mess.

Arka was the first to express its stance, withdrawing from the sanctions against Volk, and insisting that it was all a misunderstanding. In addition, Arka promised to send some of Volk's citizens who were still stranded on their planet to the Federation to show their sincerity.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Planet Volk also wants to accept their citizens, and the Federation needs to provide corresponding starships to transport these citizens. Of course, the other party proposed this condition more in the hope of testing the Federation's current attitude towards Planet Volk.

After all, the technological leap of Planet Volk this year has far exceeded their imagination, and coupled with the new planet commander, it makes people confused.

Most importantly, the sudden large amount of arms sales made it difficult for everyone to figure out whether the federal government was behind this.

As for the Federation, they really have a love-hate relationship with Shengxia. When Shengxia proposed that they provide starships to transport the arms cargo, the opposition found a lot of excuses, but Shengxia casually said, "If you have money, we can also give you a mechanical dog and missiles."

"Just one?!"

"But you can take it, research it, and claim it as your own technology. Sharing the technology and then upgrading it will be enough to repay my debt based on the current arms trade volume."

Shengxia's words were like a sign of surrender, giving herself a way out. The hard-line senior members of the meeting became inexplicably excited. Coupled with the intervention of Professor Musk and others who were already curious about her, the Federal Bureau finally agreed to the delivery operation.

Because they had to experience the gravitational chaos phenomenon in the extremely cold weather of the Volk planet, they even added a special action subsidy to this operation and named it "Warrior".

But when the front-line warships actually started to carry out the mission, they found that the height of the cargo launched from the planet Volk had been calculated to avoid the corresponding gravitational out-of-control area, so it was actually effortless for them to catch these cargoes.

With the success of this delivery, the discussion about the winter military power of the Volk planet has become more and more intense, and the debates and consultations between the Federation and the surrounding star field forces have become more and more frequent. In contrast, the popularity of the Volk planet has strangely gradually decreased in this round of conflict. Perhaps this is also the effect that Shengxia wants to achieve.

After all, the live broadcasts these days, apart from the tiresome constant broadcasts about the construction project of the Volk Planet Hot Springs Memorial Park, are also filled with images of Shengxia, the planetary commander, constantly immersed in the old excavation base near Ghost Mountain, regardless of any announcements from surrounding star field forces or new policies introduced by the Federal Bureau.

Shengxia seemed unconcerned about Arka's plan to transport citizens from Volk. However, within Volk, the talent shortage caused by the success of this round of arms trade attracted everyone's attention, so much so that the topic of the Independence Army began to be mentioned repeatedly within Rongdong.

On Wei Jie's side, Sheng Xia specifically asked him after the goods were successfully transported: "How was the experience of talking to the customer?"

"The customer didn't bother me much, Kuku just transferred the money to me." Wei Jie said truthfully.

"Hahahaha, that's because your price is too low." Shengxia laughed casually.

"Me?" Wei Jie couldn't believe it and even wanted to complain. The price was clearly marked by Shengxia herself and it really had nothing to do with him.

"Practice more. I'll find you some books on the relevant field later. After you've read them, you can start teaching students. We'll also develop the Volk Planet-related arms trade, a field of talent development that didn't exist before."

"Me?" Wei Jie couldn't help but ask again.

What I gained was the affirmation and persistence brought out by the casual laughter of summer:

"What? You're not confident in yourself? But you just completed your first arms deal. Experience comes from practice. Nothing can be prepared perfectly. Even if we do suffer a loss, we can afford it now."

Wei Jie: ... I don't know how to respond to Sheng Xia's arrogance.

However, the third brother from the Independence Army suddenly jumped out and shouted that he must be brought along for this kind of thing. He was very familiar with arms and arms trading, so how could he not join in the fun?

"Very good, now you have your first student, Weijie."

Wei Jie: ...Forget it, no matter how crazy the future is, just do it!

While the authorities were secretly collaborating with the Independence Army, rumors about the Independence Army within the Rongdong Cave had also surfaced, seemingly unsealed. This was especially true when the soldiers in charge of the silo mentioned that the corresponding maintenance and calibration work had been handed over to the Independence Army soldiers who had suddenly appeared.

Everyone then remembered that in addition to the existing citizen group, there was another group of Volk planet natives who were equally patriotic and quietly paying attention to the development of Volk planet.

"We were initially quite worried, but they didn't attack us. Instead, they took the initiative to teach us about maintenance and launching, and encouraged us to learn well."

"Yes, they also said that the current planet commander is very good and can let them see a completely different planet Volk. Although they don't know when they can return, seeing that the current Volk planet is so good, they can rest assured."

In the Rongdong Food Zone, when the soldiers were discussing this matter, the owners of the food zone couldn't help but ask if the Independence Army was doing well now, if they had food, and if they had a place to spend the winter.

"From their description, it seems they're doing pretty well. Thanks to our planetary commander not attacking them this year, they've had a chance to catch their breath."

"If you think about it, they are actually the same as us..."

"I think they are much braver than us. When we were afraid to resist, they took the initiative to stand up against the corrupt and incompetent federal government."

"Shhhhhh, can you say that casually now?"

Mo Han, whose mouth was suddenly covered, said: ...

He looked at the crowd around him and felt that Shengxia was really cunning. This arrangement allowed the independent army to get closer to the regular army, and also made the regular army realize that the previous conflicts between them were entirely the government's responsibility. Originally, there was no barrier between them. They were all a group of soldiers who tried their best to make the future life better for themselves and their families.

This also lays a broad mass foundation for the future return of the independence army.

As Mo Han lowered his head to eat his wrap, he thought about Sheng Xia's attitude when he reported the public outcry. "Isn't this a good thing? They were originally citizens of Volk. When hope was at its most bleak, they stood up and firmly protected Volk's future. They are true warriors."

"So what do you think of the citizen acceptance plan proposed by Planet Arka?"

Facing Mo Siming's question, Sheng Xia fell silent. Mo Han took a peek at the first batch of citizen emigrants from the planet Volker, which had been sent by the planet Arka. The list contained a complex mix of people: some had been caught smuggling across the planet; some had applied for visas to work there; some had applied for Arka green cards but were rejected; and some were already imprisoned criminals...

Obviously, the intention of Arka Planet in releasing this list of recipients is not simple. If they want to accept part of it, they must consider whether to give up the other part.

After a long while, Shengxia instructed Mo Siming to forward the list to Ji Zhuifeng, who was still in prison, and the Independence Army. "First, investigate the interpersonal networks of this group of people before making a decision. At this time, the intelligence obtained through interpersonal networks is much more accurate than archival records."

"Besides, if we really want to accept these citizens, we have to wait until the winter is over. We can't just put our people in cargo boxes and send them back."

"Planet Commander!"

Following Li Xiuqi's shout from the Ghost Mountain Abandoned Mining Base, Shengxia looked up from the explosion-proof ice-breaking police car and saw the other party waving vigorously in her direction and then crossing his arms, which was a gesture that the internal road had been opened.

During this period, due to the complex and winding mountain conditions in the Guishan mining area, the excavation team and the exploration team jointly studied and discussed and determined that they could only rely on manual labor to open up the first section of the abandoned base leading to the interior of the mountain.

"In order to prevent possible collapse and avalanches, we have to carry out reinforcement work in addition to excavation. In reality, we can only dig a few meters a month."

"Yes, that's not counting the work of clearing the debris, which is all done by hand instead of machines."

Just when the morale of the excavation and exploration teams was low, Shengxia stepped forward and made the final decision:

"Open up the first section first. We can use the robot dog to explore the rest after we evacuate the corresponding high-risk areas."

"Does the robot dog already have the ability to work in extremely cold environments?"

"The corresponding cold-resistant technology is being rapidly upgraded in the cave. Anyway, let's excavate the first part first."

Having said that, in fact, this corresponding cold-resistant technology was directly taken out from Xiao Ai's database by Shengxia and given to the relevant researchers in Rongdong for research.

Shengxia could feel her inner impatience. The closer she got to this place, the more inexplicable memories would flood into her mind from time to time, causing her to uncontrollably overlap the scenes in her memory with the scenes happening in reality, and then... it was as if she saw a certain future, but the end of this future was chaos, destruction and failure.

"It's okay, you go first. Even if I can't find you later, I will definitely wait for you here, Xia."

"One more time...one more try."
