Christopher and his companions returned to their country with a frustrated look on their faces.
After receiving Christophine's report, Yelishaud almost couldn't help but curse.
Yelishaud rubbed his temples to make himself more energetic. He thought to himself, "Let's talk about the ransom. Not to mention that the current Dion Empire can't afford it, even the Dion Empire five years ago, which hadn't started the war, couldn't afford it either. Not to mention that the treasury will be emptied, the defense budget for several years will be eaten up. Forget it. The Tianyi Mercenary Group doesn't want to talk to us at all. I guess they are worried that the captured Dion soldiers will turn their guns and join the battlefield once they return to their country. What they are most worried about is that our country will fight with them again."
Yelishaud decided to put this matter on hold for the time being. Now he had to deal with the visit of the diplomatic team from the Ouya Cross Country in a few weeks.
…
On the other hand, Long Fei really didn't want to return the captured Dion troops to the Dion Empire, so he asked Li Jiaming's people to put forward a bunch of excessive and exorbitant conditions.
The main reason was that they were certain that the Dion Empire would never agree to their conditions.
If these captured Dion soldiers were allowed to return to their country, the Dion Empire, which was originally seriously short of soldiers, could slightly solve their urgent problem of severe shortage of troops.
If they are unlucky, these captives will return to their country just in time for Fadis to wake up.
"Based on Faddis's character, he might start a war again, trying to make up for his loss in order to realize his boring neo-humanism." Long Fei thought to himself as he evaluated and speculated about Faddis.
"Instead of doing this, it is better to put these prisoners in my detention center. Even if Faddis really wakes up, he can't make any waves."
Long Fei sat on the sofa, holding a tablet and looking at the projected document. He looked at his two daughters sitting together, watching cartoons on the tablet, while his wife Taoxiang was lying on his bed taking a nap.
Today happened to be Sunday, so Long Fei asked his wife to rest more. Also, when Taoxiang was pregnant with her second child, she felt sleepy from time to time, so Long Fei tried his best to let his wife rest more.
Moreover, Long Fei also sensed that the baby in his wife's belly had been sleeping frequently in recent times, even though he tried to contact the child through telepathy.
The baby in the belly will wake up immediately and expel his mental perception from the mother's body, as if protesting to the father not to disturb his sleep.
Long Fei thought that he would be able to meet his child in December this year.
Then, Long Fei looked at the other reports.
Currently, the new branch base of Tianyi Mercenary Group is under construction in full swing. If nothing unexpected happens, the 23rd, 24th and 25th branch bases will be opened one after another next month.
Currently, soldiers from the fallen nation have joined the Tianyi Mercenary Corps, causing the number of members in the Corps to exceed saturation. This has forced the Corps to open new branch bases.
Other branch bases also began to expand, mainly to share the mountains of commissions as much as possible.
Moreover, the excess mercenaries can be arranged as much as possible to go to new branch bases that are about to open or branch bases that are about to be expanded.
Because there were so many extra mercenaries, it was impossible to arrange work normally. Moreover, the dormitories could not be divided evenly, so some mercenaries set up camp in the branch bases.
Another point is that the Tianyi Mercenary Group has been the most profitable subsidiary of the Tianyi Group in the past few months. Even the monthly profit of the Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company is only half of that of the Tianyi Mercenary Group.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group is now also nicknamed the nuclear-powered money printing machine by other subsidiaries.
There was so much money that one layer was stacked higher than the other. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was piled like a mountain.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group now has so much money that it has no place to spend it. Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming now invests all the money from the monthly settlement into the development and manufacture of the mobile fortress Downs, and he directly wants ten of them.
Long Fei even wondered if Li Jiaming was crazy? Was he spending too much money?
Li Jiaming explained: "The mobile fortress Downs can be moved and can also be used as a special sub-base. In the future, these mobile fortresses can be used to receive business or even repair other fleets. It doesn't hurt to build more mobile fortresses that can be used for multiple purposes."
Long Fei thought about it and felt that it was feasible.
Originally, there were to be six Gondwana-class Ms carriers for safety reasons, but now two more have been added, bringing the total to eight.
The Fa-Zos, Fa-Boser, Dogos-Kia and Gvardan-class battleships are also being manufactured at this moment.
Originally, many generals thought that the Gvardan-class battleships were unnecessary, but after seeing the money earned during this period, the generals thought that they should build some, since the Ms's carrying capacity was indeed enough.
Among these four types of warships, the Dogos Kia-class battleships were manufactured the most, with a manufacturing ratio higher than that of Archangel and La Kelum, followed by Fa Zos, with a manufacturing ratio slightly lower than that of Archangel.
The Fa-Boser and Gvardan class battleships were built in the smallest numbers.
The eight directly affiliated units are also very interested in these new warships and demand upgrades.
Teams like the Cross Vanguard, the Bloodthirsty Wolf Squad, the Shadow Mad Dogs, etc., which own the Ireland-class Ms mothership, all require that the Ireland-class Ms mothership be replaced with the Dogos Kia-class battleship.
The Fa-Zos and Fa-Boser were also the battleships they wanted, and even the Black Rabbit Force was clamoring for these two fighters.
Rabbi Anrose is also being manufactured in large quantities, and a battalion-level fleet requires at least one Rabbi Anrose.
Moreover, all the manufacturing factories of the Tianyi Mercenary Group are now working 24 hours a day to manufacture all the warships, Ms, mobile fortresses and other weapons.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group worked desperately to produce these weapons, mainly because the extra mercenaries were waiting for them.
Originally, Long Fei wanted to make Gundams such as the Unicorn, but seeing the current situation, looking at his own children and the baby in his wife's belly that is yet to be born, he decided to make the Unicorn.
His own factory is currently manufacturing the weapons he needs. "The children are still young, and the second child has not yet been born, so we should hold off on making Gundams with spiritual skeletons like Unicorn for the time being."
On the other side, Li Jiaming originally wanted to build two mobile fortresses, Bulger, at once.
If all the expanded production lines were not busy making other things, Li Jiaming would really like to build two mobile fortresses, the Bulger.
Long Fei looked at the report in front of him and thought, "If Li Jiaming had dared to spend money like this in the past, I would probably have yelled at him and scolded him for spending money recklessly. Did he think my money came from the wind?"
Long Fei then watched the Tianyi Mercenary Group summarize their earnings from the previous week, and thought to himself, "If it weren't for the fact that the Tianyi Mercenary Group is making more money faster than it's spending, I might have shot him dead by then."
"However, currently spies from various countries have infiltrated every subsidiary of Tianyi Group. Some of the fallen soldiers are spies from certain countries. There are some things that I can tell you, but there are some things that I cannot tell you. If you want to know, you will have to pay a price."
