Chapter 6 Stubborn

Di Changli said: "Mr. Ning, if I were you, I would not waste time here, but immediately go to see Captain Wilson, ask him to change the route to the nearest galaxy immediately, and send an emergency message for help to inform the federal fleet cruising in the surrounding star domains to escort. Otherwise, the longer it takes, the more likely the Wrangler will be in danger.

Ning Jing looked at Di Changli as if he was looking at a madman, or a complete idiot. He sneered and said, "It turns out that you made such a suggestion. Hey hey... Do you really think they dare to risk the world's reckless force to hijack the Wrangler? Do you know what serious consequences will be if they do this?

Why don't they dare? What are the serious consequences?" Di Changli asked indifferently.

Is this kind of question worth discussing? Ning Jing simply felt unreasonable. He doubted whether he was talking to a mentally ill guy and said impatiently, "If they do this, it is equivalent to digging their own graves. With the current status quo of the Federation, after it is disclosed and being known by the public, not to mention that the administrative committee was pulled down, even the whole federation. The government will have strong turmoil and may even cause social unrest. No one can afford this responsibility.

After saying this, Ning Jing was a little depressed and suddenly laughed. Why did he say this to this young man? Nowadays, the federal government's system is rigid and corrupt, the economy has declined sharply, the rich are polarized, and the contradictions of various classes are becoming increasingly intensified. It is a fact that the government has basically lost the support of the people. The accumulation of contradictions has given birth to a serious social crisis. Stimulated by powerful factors, major unrest is likely to break out. It is also true that the political system has been divided and disintegrated. But this is the foresight of a very few people with keen vision. Although young people like Di Changli have a more flexible mind and limited knowledge, how can they see the current complex social situation? It will only be alarmist here.

"Well, it sounds like the consequences are very serious." Di Changli's eyes showed an unexamined strange light and said indifferently, "The question is, if there is a pirate attack and looting the Wrangler in the next voyage, how much disturbance can this kind of violent incident, which is already common in the Federation, cause?" Can you find evidence that the pirate's actions were at the behst of that consortium?

Ning Jing was stunned and had time to say anything in the future. Di Changli looked saistic and then said, "Ten thousand steps back, even if it was possible to find out that the pirate's looting was at the direction of the consortium, and the executive committee you mentioned was the consortium's*. The news caused a great uproar, and the people rose up to overthrow it angrily. What can happen to the existing regime?"

Di Changli's eyes were more sarcastic, stopped, and continued: "To be honest, I don't know anything about politics, but I still have a little experience of people's hearts... The privileged class of the Federation, vested interests, have gained enough wealth and dug up the Federation into a lot of holes, and now there is only one rotten Stall, what do they care about? Anyway, it's a mess. It's better to break it. Just break the rules of the game and start all over again. Maybe they still think so and try to push it in this direction, so they plunder and grab it more crazily. Otherwise, Mr. Ning, you should be more or less a rich man with status and status. How can that consortium swallow your assets? This can only show that the people in power of the Federation have seen this very clearly and understand that there is not much time left. They are ready to tear off the ugly cloth on their faces and unscrupulously get a handful at the last dinner party.

Ning Jing was stunned and his mind was confused. Di Changli's remarks had too much impact on him, which was shocking and unimaginable. At first, he heard it was groundless and absurd, but when he thought about it carefully, he pointed to the essence of the matter. No one dared not conclude that there was really no such possibility.

"Who the hell are you?" Ning Jing recovered from shock and stared at Di Changli's question.

"It's too far. Let's come back to our eyes." Di Chang avoided answering and said as if nothing had happened, "Mr. Ning, I don't have any friendship with you. Your life or death originally had nothing to do with me, but you are the brother of the concubine, and this matter is also related to the safety of the concubine, so I will give you the above suggestions. As for whether you can't listen, then It's up to you."

"What if I can hear it? The Wrangler is the master of Captain Wilson. Will he change the route and take emergency measures based on such analysis and speculation alone? It's impossible." Ning Jing completely regained his composure. Although he thought that what Di Changli said was a little reasonable, he still held a fantasy and said, "Although my dymium mine is a rare mineral, its value is not high enough to make them bold to be lawless, right?"

The metal extracted from the mistium ore is the main material for the production of high-precision weapons. If it is true, as Di Changli analyzed, after the federal government falls into civil strife, the value of the mistium ore in Ning Jing's hands will rise at an alarming rate in the near future. Who will be willing to let go of this big fat meat? Di Changli frowned and didn't bother to talk to Ning Jingduo anymore. He only said, "Whung or not, it's your business whether you can convince Captain Wilson. Anyway, the target they are dealing with is you, including me. As long as other people on the spacecraft do not hinder their actions, there should be no danger. What should they do? It's up to you."

Ning Jing's face changed. For a moment, she smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I believe you are useless, I can't convince Captain Wilson anyway. Your suggestion is just equivalent to not saying anything."

"I also know this." Di Changli nodded and said, "So, I want to make another suggestion to you, that is, give the concubine to protect me... Your goal is too obvious. If what I said really happens at that time, you can't take care of the concubine at all. It's much safer for her to stay with me."

"Do you want me to give you the concubine? Impossible." Ning Jing refused and sneered, "If you are really the person they sent, won't I take the initiative to send the sheep into the tiger's mouth? Don't you think I will be as credulous as a concubine?"

"Since you don't want to believe me, please leave here. It's better to take away those two men who monitor me. Although they can't do anything, it's good to protect yourself with more strength. Di Changli knew that Ning Jing would have such a stubborn attitude, sighed and issued an eviction order.

Looking at Di Changli, who closed his mouth and pretended not to talk any more, Ning Jing only felt that this young man was really mysterious and unpredictable and did not know how to deal with it. After sitting for a moment, Ning Jing finally got up and left, but when he left, he did not take the two men away, but ordered them to strengthen their supervision.

The Wrangler spacecraft commanded the bridge, and the crew on duty seemed to be a little slack. About a dozen standards away from the next space jump point, sailing on this fixed route year after year, the process was calm and boring. Captain Wilson rested in his cabin. The vice captain on duty was a kind and considerate and good gentleman who turned a blind eye to the crew's work performance at this time. One eye, so in addition to the spirit of a new observer who just boarded the ship this time, the rest of the people are chatting lazily or browsing outdated news or film and television programs.

A female crew member brought out a cup of coffee from the lounge. Just as she was walking to her seat and sitting down, someone next to her suddenly shouted, "There's a situation."

The female crew shook her hands in shock, and a cup full of steaming coffee suddenly spilled out. She was almost burned. She jumped up in a hurry and complained angrily, "Mark, what the hell is your name?"

It was the new observer who shouted. His name is Mark. The pronunciation of his name is the same as that of an abandoned currency. He is young and has a simple personality. He is very active and responsible at ordinary times. Everyone has a good impression of this new partner. If there is another person, the female crew will probably be flam.

Mark, who has always been extremely polite to people, ignored her and shouted, "Mr. Rubini, there is a situation that a spaceship is approaching us at high speed."

Everyone was a little nervous by Mark's sudden cry. As soon as they heard that he had just observed another spaceship, they couldn't help crying and laughing. Someone shouted, "Mark, why are you making a fus? Do you think only our Wrangler is allowed to sail in space?

Everyone laughed.

"No." Mark blushed and argued eagerly, "At this time on this route, there has never been a record of meeting other spacecraft in the log. Moreover, you see, this spacecraft of unknown origin is still flying towards us at a high speed, which is very abnormal... Mr. Rubini, you'd better come and have a look."

"Hey, you guys, find something to gag your mouth." Vice Captain Rubini scolded the crew members who were still laughing and came over quickly. Mark, ignore these guys and calmly tell me what happened.

"Okay, Mr. Roubini." Mark took a deep breath, pointed to the screen and said, "You see, this spacecraft suddenly appeared in this direction, and from its speed and course, it will be at the same point as the Wrangler in half an hour."

"So, we will collide in half an hour?" Rubini tightened his eyebrows.

"Yes, Mr. Roubini." Mark replied.

The command bridge is quiet.
