Chapter 701: Extorting local tyrants(1/2)
,
spn Ragus, near-Earth outer space.
A dozen battleships from the empire were lined up on both sides, with a huge Shenlong-class battleship in the middle. This majestic new battleship was actually an entry-level super battleship.
The wealthy class of Ragu Star were loaded onto a transport ship in one go, and then quickly moved towards the heavily lined up offensive position. The transport ship moved forward in a straight line towards the target ship, forming a 'mountain' shape. Imperial Battleship
Just on the sides and at the end.
Kang Ming and Zhu Ye have been observing the situation since they boarded the ship. As one of the 100 richest people on Lagu Planet, Kang Ming keeps a low profile, but the wealth he actually controls is enough to dwarf Lagu Planet.
This transport ship has prepared basic seats. Looking at the rich people around them, many people have some impressions, and it seems that they have not escaped.[
"Lao Kang, what do they want to do? They don't want to throw us into space and kill us, right?"
A rich man like Zhu Ye, who is also middle-aged, is most timid and afraid of death. Seeing the group of children and grandchildren around him being scared to death, he asked the backbone of the family.
"If you want to kill us, you can do it on the ground. Pirates don't need any reason to kill. On the contrary, if they don't kill, they can find many reasons, such as money."
After all, Kang Ming is used to wind and rain, and the ferocity of pirates is relatively common in this universe.
However, pirates generally only rob wilderness planets or mine stars. It is rare for such powerful pirates to break in and rob administrative planets.
In his opinion, Ragu is also extremely unlucky. The Lanc military has too much time to take care of itself, and there are no other covetous forces around. They are alone outside. The pirates don't want to occupy your planet, so they don't need to consider the issues of the people, they just rob and run away.
.
In his opinion, even if Ragu is captured by the Orion Alliance in a roundabout way, it will not be treated like this. Instead, they will be happy to have a living planet instead of coming to rob it like crazy.
Now that I have encountered pirates, I have absolutely no place to reason.
"Then what should we do? Our grandchildren are still so young. If something happens to them, I won't be able to live either."
Zhuye was crying so much that the children and grandchildren next to her were even more frightened to death.
"Cry. Why are you crying! Humph. Pirates believe in the law of survival in the universe. The jungle of the jungle will eat the strong, and they will not let you go just because you cry a few times. On the contrary, if they have other intentions, as long as you satisfy them, you will
You can escape."
After all, Kang Ming is well-informed. Although pirates have a bad reputation, they are no longer the bandits and robbers of ancient times who killed people and stole goods. As long as their demands can be met, they generally do not kill.
He didn't know yet what the pirates in front of him wanted to do, but he was sure that they must have something they wanted.
The entire ship was filled with all the prominent and wealthy people on the planet Ragu. Even those who were hiding underground were found by the imperial soldiers using the secret surveillance data collected on the planet Ragu.
"General Luo, the entire ship is carrying 1,551 wealthy people on the planet Ragu with wealth exceeding 5 million cosmic coins. About 122 of the targets have escaped, and the hunt is currently being stepped up."
Wu Peiqiang reported to Lieutenant General Luo Chengjun, who was wearing a black military uniform.
During this operation, everyone wore combat uniforms with deformation and concealment functions. As long as the deformation function was turned on, the whole person would be enveloped by the combat uniforms.
"Let's go and meet them."
Luo Chengjun saw from the surveillance footage that the panic-stricken wealthy people had been driven into the huge front hall of the Shenlong-class battleship by passionate soldiers. This area was originally used as an internal training ground for officers and soldiers, and the family members of the company were sitting there.
Three thousand people is still very easy.[
Kang Ming and Zhu Ye led their family into this huge venue. After finding seats and sitting down, they knew that someone from the pirates would come to meet them. This was a venue.
Looking at the densely packed soldiers throughout the venue, everyone is wearing black combat uniforms with an arrogant pirate logo on them. This logo is not known to anyone and looks very mysterious.
Many people are very scared, and some people even fainted several times, but pirates will not be kind enough to lift you down. Anyone who faints or pretends to be sick will be awakened by electric shocks. Of course, those who are really scared will become sick.
Yes, the pirates will still give you a special life shot.
Therefore, although everyone was scared to death, no one left the scene yet, they were all waiting here quietly.
Two of them took advantage of their rich money and good eloquence to communicate in Cosmic Language with the heavily armed pirate soldiers next to them. However, the other party didn't give them a chance at all. They just hit them with the butts of their rifles and no longer dared to strike up a conversation.
Just when the local tycoons didn't know how long they had to wait, they saw the heavily armed soldiers around them standing at attention and raising their hands in salute. The local tycoons were shocked, knowing that the main character had appeared.
Sure enough, the lights on the empty rostrum in front were already on, and then a man also dressed in black, but obviously a senior military officer, came out.
"Crack!"
All the officers and soldiers in the audience stamped their feet and saluted, which frightened the rich people and made them even more afraid of the person who appeared.
The visitor nodded in salute and then walked up to the podium.
"I'm glad to see you all here. You can call me by my codename L. As a great pirate, I must tell you that I believe in justice by nature and am not bloodthirsty. Okay, come all the way for us
Guests, please bring the drinks."
Luo Chengjun had no unnecessary nonsense. After his opening remarks, he waved his hands, and teams of robots came up with drinks, one for each person. Now the trouble came. With the drinks in their hands, they neither sat down nor put them down. Many people were even more excited.
nervous.
Luo Chengjun smiled, raised the drink in his hand and downed it in one gulp, then motioned for everyone to drink. After all, he wanted to talk about something and let them drink water.
After his standard Cosmic Language was mechanically processed, no one could recognize his accent. They only knew that he was a man, and a very dignified man at that.
"Very good, let's start real communication now."
Luo Chengjun clapped his hands and then started talking.
"Everyone knows what kind of existence we are, yes, pirates, real pirates. The purpose of inviting this person here today is only one, and that is the cosmic coins in your pockets.
I am a very kind person. We have also investigated qnghu about your assets.
Our conditions are not loose, but they should still be within your acceptable range."
Luo Chengjun waved his hand and said: "I know that 99% of your Universe Coins are stored in banks instead of being buried at home. In order to exchange for your safety and freedom in life, you must pay 90% of the amount of your Universe Coin account.
, paid on the spot and released on the spot.
Of course. To show our friendliness, we will not touch a penny of your Lank coins. No matter where you store them, we will not take any of them. We only want the Universe coins.
Very good. I'll give you 5 minutes to think about it."[
He clapped his hands, and then a dozen robots brought up a dozen devices, which were virtual Internet devices used for transfers.
"What? You want us to hand over 90% of our Universe Coin deposits?"
"This is wishful thinking."
"I will never agree!"
Noisy quarrels suddenly sounded, and the entire lobby was like a pot exploding. These rich people took money very seriously, and when they heard that the pirates actually wanted 90% of their Cosmic Coin deposits, these rich people ran away on the spot.
Luo Chengjun, on the other hand, clasped his hands behind his back and said nothing. He told them to give them five minutes to think about it, and then waited there quietly without threatening or persuading them, just letting them make noise.
Many of the local tycoons were excited and waving their fists. If they weren't still wary of the soldiers around them, they might have charged on them on the spot.
"What should I do? Lao Kang."
Zhu Ye was in a very bad mood and cursed a few times in a low voice, but she was particularly afraid of those soldiers, so she only dared to curse secretly.
"Let's take a look first."
Kang Ming's psychological quality is obviously better than many people. There are many people here who are richer than him, but their psychological quality is not as good as him.
"If they all give it, we will give it too. Let's see what happens to the pirates. Anyway, our position is not in the front."
Kang Ming was not a person who wanted money rather than his life, so he chose to wait.
Soon, five minutes passed.
"Very good, I believe you have made a relatively correct choice."
Luo Chengjun clapped his hands, and the soldiers began to pull the wealthy people sitting in the front row to the virtual network login machine and motioned them to transfer money.
"No, I will never give you my money, you damn pirates."
The first rich man was very uncooperative!
Luo Chengjun saw this, but said nothing. Wu Peiqiang next to him waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately mentioned the rich man and several of his family members, and left straight away. A door appeared in front, which was an execution ground.
"Bang! Bang!..."
Four gunshots were fired, and the wealthy man and his family were shot dead.
"They really know how to kill people..."
Only then did the local tycoons realize that these soldiers really knew how to kill people, and they would not give them any chance to defend themselves. They would kill people without cooperation or payment.
Luo Chengjun shook his head at this time and said: "I am not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, but I can guarantee that more than 90% of the people here are stained with dirty blood. You are committing adultery."
Ke, you violate the law, you even rape women, and use various means to plot against your opponents. Of course, I don’t care what your crime is, and I don’t care if you are a good guy or a bad guy.
In my opinion, money must be given, otherwise you will be our enemy."
In Luo Chengjun's view, in the primary stage of society, the rich accumulated wealth through their own efforts, but on secondary civilized planets like Lagu, there are almost no stories of grassroots rise. It's all about the rich.
In the past, they fought openly and secretly, and they controlled social resources, which fully proved the evil of capital. They will do whatever it takes to get wealth.
Especially since the local tycoons here have reached the entry threshold of 5 million cosmic coins. Such wealth is not money earned by kind-hearted ordinary people through hard work.
This is a huge sum of money, enough to buy a battleship.
From Lagu Xing's point of view, killing one of the tycoons here might not lead to death, but killing every other one would definitely result in something being missed.
Of course, the most fundamental reason why Luo Chengjun was so decisive was that outsiders who did not cooperate with the empire's policies and hindered the development of the empire were enemies.
The enemy should be punished.
