Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

The fire demon returned to his ship.

"Brother, how is it?" The woman came up and asked her brother anxiously.

"Things might be about to change." Fire Ghost looked at the small chicken island in the distance.

"The people on that island are beyond our imagination."

"Huh?" The woman was somewhat surprised.

She later learned about the negotiations from her brother.

"What?

"He actually made these demands?" the woman exclaimed in surprise.

I never expected that we would talk about these things.

"Brother, what have you decided to do?" The woman looked at her brother and asked him how he planned to handle the situation.

Fire Demon thought for a moment.

Then he said in a deep voice, "We've been waiting here for too long."

Although over the years, we have been trying to restore our country in accordance with our father's last wish.

We also possess these treasures, but when we actually put them into practice, we found that restoring the kingdom was not such a simple matter.

Even if you are given a mountain of gold, if you use it improperly, it will only bring disaster upon yourself.

That's why we've been dragging this out until now.

And now our Gold Mountain has been discovered.

We have no possibility of continuing to delay.

In contrast to what I mentioned earlier, we fled to other places.

That guy's suggestion was actually more appropriate.

However, we cannot rule out the possibility that he might set a trap for us.

But now we...

After a pause, Fire Ghost continued, "We have no other choice."

I will work with him.

"You should immediately set off for the Eastern Continent."

"Brother, are you worried about the danger?"

Only now are you letting me go?

No!!

I'm not leaving.

My father said before he passed away that we siblings should always be together, no matter what.

We can't be separated no matter what.

Since you've decided to cooperate with that Dragon King, then I'll fight alongside you.

Whether danger or hope lies ahead, I will never allow you to leave me alone!

The woman said very firmly.

The fire demon looked at his sister with a pained expression.

The woman raised her head and said, "Brother, you know my personality."

It's anything I decide.

No matter how much you say, it's useless.

You can forget about sending me alone to the Eastern Continent.

"Either we stay and do great things together, or we leave together!"

Looking at his sister's attitude.

The fire demon was also helpless.

He could only nod in agreement.

"Now that we've made our decision..."

Once we are fully prepared, we will begin formal negotiations with that King of the Wraiths.

We need to clearly define our interests; we can't let that guy lead us by the nose just because we're negotiating with him.

In the darkness of night.

Zhao Chen stood on the coastline of Little Chicken Island, gazing at the lights of the ship.

"Your Majesty, do you really believe that guy will agree to cooperate with us?" The secretary had just received the order from His Majesty Zhao Chen.

There is no need to worry about evacuation.

Continue with the original work; the alarm is off.

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I can't guarantee anything until I meet that guy."

But when I saw that person, I saw those eyes, and the expression in them.

I knew what kind of person he was.

I'm giving him this opportunity now.

He won't miss it.

I've seen far too many people like this.

Zhao Chen is the Emperor of the Dragon.

He had met far too many people in the previous decade or so.

Over time, he will be able to see through people's thoughts and feelings.

This is perhaps what is known as the art of physiognomy for emperors.

Time passed little by little.

As the morning light shone on the little chicken island the following day.

A small boat sailed towards Chicken Island.

Then we docked.

"We meet again."

"It seems you've already made your decision." Zhao Chen looked at the fire demon that had landed directly.

My opinion of this person has risen even higher; he is a man of both courage and wisdom.

If it were anyone else, someone like Pedro, they wouldn't dare talk to him on Chicken Island.

“I can work with you.”

However, we need to establish the details of cooperation for many things.

"And I want to see my treasures." The Fire Demon stared at Zhao Chen.

No problem.

Those treasures were originally yours.

Actually, I was just doing the task of keeping it safe for you.

After all, we're friends now.

"What if my friend's treasure gets stolen?" Zhao Chen shrugged.

That guy is shameless; he called someone a thief.

But right now, isn't it you who's hoarding this treasure?

Fire Demon didn't waste any words with this guy.

Zhao Chen led the Fire Ghost to see the underground vault where the treasures were stored.

All his treasures are here.

Fire Ghost breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also quite helpless.

These are all the riches accumulated by his empire, but now they are in the hands of others.

I am truly ashamed to face my father.

"If I were to take these things with me..."

"You won't agree, will you?" Fire Ghost looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen shrugged and said, "If you just need funds, you can take some with you."

But if you want to take everything...

Zhao Chen did not answer the question directly.

"Taking too much wealth with you will actually put you in danger."

After all, how could a pirate possibly have so much wealth?

That's why you left all this wealth here.

That's because you have this concern, isn't it?

And now, Chicken Island is mine.

No one will doubt that I am building a fortified city here.

When you need wealth, you can just come and take it.

My role is simply to safeguard this property for you.

Of course, I will build those war weapons for you later.

The payment will be deducted directly from this account.

You can now take stock of how much wealth you have here.

Then we can °• N o v e l i g h t •° skip the payment process.

So this is still a forced sale.

Even if I don't want it then, I won't be able to later.

"Can you really build those weapons on your blueprints?"

"Especially those warships." Fire Ghost looked at Zhao Chen with great suspicion.

“Building it is not actually that difficult.”

I just need a larger harbor and shipyard to build it.

Although ports can also meet the construction needs in my kingdom.

However, only small to medium-sized warships can be built; dreadnoughts are already the limit.

To build larger warships, a larger deep-water harbor dock is needed.

But I'm already thinking of a solution.

I acquired a territory near the coast of a certain kingdom through some means. I'll see if I can build a port there.

Then I can build a large number of warships.

By land, some raw material resources can also be purchased.

In short, it just takes time.

"A large deep-water port, huh?"

"If that's what you need, I can actually help you with that," Fire Ghost said.

Zhao Chen looked at the Fire Ghost with some surprise.

"We are pirates."

Where did our ship come from?

It's impossible that we built it ourselves.

We also cooperate with some ship manufacturers or sellers.

Sometimes when our warships need maintenance and repair, we also sail to these ports.

So I can use my connections to get in touch with shipyards in some ports.

When Zhao Chen heard this...

A plan popped into his mind.

As things stand, it would take Zhao Chen a great deal of time to manufacture a large number of warships using only his own shipyard.

But what if we could use someone else's resources to achieve our goals?

They used existing shipyards to build warships.

It could even be an existing weapons manufacturer's factory that builds some army weapons.

These are all theoretically achievable.

The only thing to worry about is the issue of technology leaks.

But this problem isn't actually that big of a problem for Zhao Chen.

After all, the current technologies are only suitable for this stage.

This does not mean that Zhao Chen does not have more advanced technology.

In a year or two, depending on the changes in the environment, Zhao Chen could come up with other technologies.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the issue of leaks.

"If we cooperate, we both need to quickly build a strong army."

Whether it's the navy or the army, this is something we must do.

Rather than borrowing someone else's shipyard.

Instead of buying or leasing shipyards, we could simply purchase or lease some shipyards, or even factories capable of producing weapons and equipment.

"Let's just use someone else's resources to our advantage!" Zhao Chen said, expressing his idea.

Several lines are running simultaneously.

The current weapons and equipment can be developed by borrowing resources and developing them first.

Then they simultaneously built their own shipyards and weapons manufacturing companies.

Preparing for the future.

With these preparations in place, it will benefit them both now and in the future.

They were all of great help.

"Your idea is indeed quite good." Fire Ghost also showed an appreciative expression.

"You have a wide network of connections."

Then you'll be in charge of this.

The funds needed for the purchase will come from here.

The best location is either the western or northern continent.

Once the location was chosen, I assigned my skilled workers to take over and begin production.

Build us warships and weapons.

“No problem.” Fire Ghost nodded.

"How are the manufactured weapons distributed?"

Fire Ghost changed the subject and looked at Zhao Chen.

"It's very simple, a 50/50 split."

The technology is mine, but the money used is yours.

"We'll split every batch of weapons we build 50/50," Zhao Chen said frankly.

Fire Demon thought for a moment.

At first glance, it seems like they're at a disadvantage, but smart people can see that.

Zhao Chen possesses advanced technology; without it, they wouldn't even be able to manufacture anything.

Therefore, Fire Ghost actually has no initiative in negotiations in this regard.

As for the wealth stored here, there shouldn't be any problems for a very long time.

After all, this is a legacy left by an empire.

He and his father have used a lot over the past fifty years.

But that's only less than one in a thousand.

That's why he needed an underground space on an island to store these treasures.

In fact, he himself wasn't telling the truth either.

That is one of the hidden treasures on Chicken Island.

There are some in other places as well.

He himself was well aware of the principle that one should not put all their eggs in one basket.

"How much time do you need to arrange all this?" Zhao Chen asked.

Fire Ghost thought for a moment and said, "I can get all the factories you want sorted out within a month."

"Okay, then one month it will be."

You can bring people to Chicken Island then.

I will arrange for a team of technicians to accompany you to take over these factories and begin production immediately.

When Zhao Chen arrived, he paused, looking at the Fire Ghost with a serious expression.

"But I have to say something unpleasant beforehand."

I know that we people have always valued interests.

But I hate sacrifices that come from betrayal.

If you want to betray me, then do it on the battlefield.

But if I find out that you have done anything to harm my subordinates...

I will make you pay a very heavy price!

This is a warning to Zhao Chen.

Fire Ghost looked at Zhao Chen in front of him with some surprise.

He had never been this serious in previous negotiations involving various interests.

But the murderous aura emanating from him now made him very aware of it.

Everything he's saying now is true.

If I dare to do anything to his technicians, he will pay the price!

"no problem.

"I can assure you of that." The Fire Demon raised his head, his aura more like that of a medieval knight than a pirate.

"Speaking of which, you come from that pirate crew or something."

He was the seventh in that pirate crew.

I want to know.

"The pirate crew behind you, and you... and us..." Zhao Chen gestured.

The fire demon naturally understood what this meant.

Now that we are in a cooperative relationship, there are some things that cannot be hidden.

He looked towards the sea and said, "The leader of this pirate crew was a friend of my father."

But at that time, my father's identity had changed to that of a merchant caravan, and it was my father who saved him and his pirate crew.

Since then, the two sides have had contact.

Then my father's caravan didn't operate for long. He wasn't good at business and was attacked by his competitors in trade.

I'm very disappointed that the business I worked so hard to build has been swallowed up.

Left with no other choice, he decided to lead us to seek refuge with his friends in the pirate crew.

They took us in because of the life-saving grace they had shown us years ago.

My father fell ill due to depression and eventually passed away.

My sister and I grew up in a pirate crew and learned many skills.

I also participated in the pirate crew's operations, thanks to several outstanding performances.

I became the seventh member of the pirate crew, which gave me some status.

However... they cannot fully trust it.

They don't know my identity, nor do they know about the treasures I've hidden.

Even the fleets I brought from abroad were all my trusted confidants.

They didn't know what was on the island either.

I simply told them I wanted to come here and loot.

"Then it seems you'll have to keep these secrets hidden for a while longer," Zhao Chen said with a slight smile.
