Chapter 546: Pressure From Interstellar Nobles

In the conference room, everyone felt sad after hearing this.

Such a large number of warships may be able to arm a regular regiment of the United Government.

This level of equipment quality is simply not something that an ordinary interstellar pirate group can possess.

Even if this interstellar pirate group is funded by interstellar nobles, the status of the interstellar nobles who sponsor them must not be low among the countries that join the United Government.

At least they have never heard of an ordinary interstellar noble whose troops and equipment are rich enough to arm an interstellar pirate group of this size.

The poor current situation of the Blackstone Kingdom is a good example.

Everyone was a little worried, afraid that they would not be able to offend the forces behind this interstellar pirate group.

Augustine said angrily:

“You’ve been arrested, are you afraid that the forces behind you will come to your door?

Besides, if the other party dares to attack us openly, why should they use the help of this interstellar pirate group? "

Everyone nodded, thinking that what Augustine said made sense.

They had already learned from the second leader of the pirate group that there were shadows of interstellar nobles behind this pirate group.

And the other party also knew that the merchant ship they attacked belonged to the Aocheng Group.

It was obvious that the instructions given to the other party were directed at them.

They had just resolved the political crisis in the Blackstone Kingdom and did not want to cause trouble.

But when trouble comes to their door, they are not afraid of it.

As a result, Liu Cheng asked people to bring all the dozen or so high-level leaders of the pirate groups who had stayed behind.

Separate them into different rooms and interrogate them one by one.

With the assistance of the personnel department's superpowers and the interrogation of some Black Rock City employees' respective "excellent methods".

The leaders of more than a dozen pirate groups all confessed the information honestly.

It turns out that there is not just one interstellar noble force behind them, but more than a dozen interstellar nobles supporting their activities.

In order to achieve the private interests of these dozen interstellar nobles.

Sometimes their mission is robbery, sometimes they are simply carrying out terrorist attacks.

In short, these dozen interstellar nobles, as long as there is a shameful task that they need to do, they will complete it.

They also benefited a lot afterwards.

In addition to grabbing most of the shares of the supplies, these dozen interstellar nobles will also give them some additional supplies of ships and weapons.

This has led to their interstellar pirate group becoming more and more powerful, now numbering tens of thousands.

Of course, the increase in weapons does not mean that the combat effectiveness will also increase one to one.

If the same quantity and quality of weapons were given to the mercenary troops of the Veterans Association and the Aocheng Group.

They were afraid that they might have a chance of defeating the regiment led by Galiwei with the same number of people.

The reason why it is possible is because of what Galliway said.

Don't underestimate the corps-level battles. There are no less than ten thousand professionals who collect information and make suggestions.

Although Liu Cheng and Song Ziming's respective troops did not have any shortcomings in combat effectiveness.

But in terms of intelligence information and tactical planning, there is still a long way to go.

This is also the reason why the Aocheng Group retained Li Kang and others to help command the fleet battle.

As for the leader of the pirate group, his name is Yestorovsky.

I heard that he was a private mercenary officer of the interstellar nobles, and was sent by the interstellar nobles to lead these interstellar pirate groups.

It can be regarded as the spokesperson of the interstellar nobles in the interstellar pirate group.

"In other words, these interstellar pirate groups were not an organization before?"

Liu Cheng asked.

Yestolovsky nodded and replied:

“With the abilities of these interstellar pirates, how could it possibly grow to a scale of tens of thousands?

They were originally pirate groups of dozens or hundreds of people, integrated together.

The result is still a piece of loose sand that will break apart at the first touch..."

Yestolovsky sounded a little unhappy.

I don’t know if it’s because I was captured because I had such a bunch of pig teammates, and I feel resentful.

The reason why the interstellar pirates attacked the Aocheng Group is also very simple.

That is because the United Government targeted the Blackstone Kingdom before because they wanted to secretly find the whereabouts of the artifact.

The other interstellar nobles targeted the Blackstone Kingdom because they felt unhappy when Wu Sheng, who was born as a slave, was on an equal footing with them.

Therefore, an interstellar pirate group was sent to harass the surroundings of the Black Sand Star Territory in order to curb the development of the Blackstone Kingdom.

As the most important economy and large company in the Blackstone Kingdom, the merchant ships owned by Aocheng Group have also borne the brunt of attacks by pirates.

At this moment, Liu Cheng suddenly received a communication message from Ryan.

It was said that King Wu Sheng had sent ministers to negotiate, saying that there was an urgent matter.

Liu Cheng said to the mercenaries on the side:

"Augustine and I will go out for a while. You guys should keep an eye on this person."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Liu Cheng and Augustine walked outside, saw Ryan, and asked:

"Did Wu Sheng send someone here?"

Ryan replied:

"Well, I'm waiting in the reception room."

The three of them went to the reception room together to meet with the official representatives sent by Wu Sheng.

When the officials saw Liu Cheng and others, they said hello briefly, and then went straight to the point and stated their intentions.

After listening to this, Liu Cheng and others understood what was going on.

It turned out that the news that they had defeated the interstellar pirate group reached the ears of the interstellar nobles behind these people.

The interstellar nobles put pressure on the Blackstone Kingdom by uniting with the government.

Dozens of complaints were filed against the Blackstone Kingdom.

As a member of the United Government, the Blackstone Kingdom, which has just resolved its political crisis, will definitely not be able to face the pressure from more than a dozen other member countries.

To put it bluntly, there is no political crisis in the Blackstone Kingdom.

But at the political level, he didn't have any allies.

Although the Pope King Wu Sheng is willing to help Liu Cheng and others, his ability is limited.

The official said before leaving:

“Although you have solved the interstellar pirates, it will be beneficial to the entire Blackstone Kingdom.

But King Wu Sheng is also facing great pressure now.

I also hope that Chairman Tucheng and Chairman Augustine can come up with a response strategy as soon as possible. "

Liu Chengdao:

"I understand, and I will give King Wu Sheng a satisfactory answer later.

It just takes a while.

Could you please tell King Wu Sheng to help me delay this for a few more days?

It can take up to half a month. "

When the officials of the Blackstone Kingdom heard this, they were able to delay it for half a month.

After all, just wrangling at the meetings of the members of the United Government can last for several months.

So he nodded and said goodbye.

After the officials from the Blackstone Kingdom left, Ryan asked:

"Chairman Tucheng, do you really want to compromise with those interstellar nobles?

You know, they won't let us spit out everyone in the entire interstellar pirate group and all the captured ships.

It will definitely not give up! "

Augustine frowned and sighed:

“It’s impossible not to compromise!

Our current power is still too weak to compete with interstellar noble-level forces.

Not to mention more than a dozen interstellar nobles joining forces. "

Ryan felt helpless, but he also knew that Augustine was right.

As a result, the two of them heard Liu Cheng say:

"compromise?

Haha, I won’t compromise!

Why should I hand over the prisoners and warships that I captured with my own skills? "

Augustine and Ryan were confused when they heard this, Augustine asked:

"Liu Cheng, what do you mean?"

Liu Cheng did not answer Augustine, but said to Ryan:

“Lian, call Wang Biao from the black market.

No matter what happens to the Black Tiger Gang, let it go first. "

When the two heard this, they immediately understood what Liu Cheng meant.

Liu Cheng wanted to use Wang Biao's judgment ability to turn Yestorovsky into someone completely loyal to him!
