The Vice Admiral squinted his eyes, looking at the Star Realm through the video communication screen and said, "It's not that simple. The Sinda Corporation, which is currently the most influential in this Star Realm, is unlikely to cooperate with you."

Bai Quan immediately nodded and said, "Yes, their attitude over there seems a bit... complicated?"

"The Sinda Corporation seems willing to contribute, but they only want to save Chen Ming, not waste financial resources to trouble Dusk."

"However, they are very eager to cooperate when we mention some exploratory missions, which is very strange."

"I believe it's because of their Sky Steel, so their attitude towards us has changed."

"I don't really want to get involved in this, but logistics is not under my jurisdiction."

The Vice Admiral recalled for a moment and said, "Logistics? Is it that kid surnamed Ping?"

"Yes, he said he wanted to use this opportunity to gain some benefits."

The Vice Admiral frowned slightly and said, "I know a bit about this matter, the Sinda Corporation's mining rights were forcibly taken by that group of incompetents using their authority, right? Don't do such things; it's disgraceful to talk about."

Bai Quan seemed a bit helpless as well and said, "I told him the same thing, but he said he feels the Sinda side thought we wanted to occupy their Sky Steel like that group of incompetents, so he's taking advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits through an information gap. The Sky Steel will definitely go through proper procedures to be returned."

The Vice Admiral released the frown on his brow and said, "Alright, then I'll give you another reminder."

"I believe Chen Ming's situation is actually quite bad right now."

"He might intend to stay on Dusk due to previous events, but Dusk is not easy to get along with."

"Things that Dusk wants to get rid of must have serious issues, either targeting Chen Ming, or directly targeting your efforts to rescue Chen Ming."

"Chen Ming must be rescued now, so if the front line fails, you must be very careful."

"Try to find a way to contact Chen Ming directly."

Bai Quan collected his expression and returned to his initial calm demeanor, saying:

"I also want to contact him, but our sources of intelligence are still too few. Currently, it seems only Sinda Corporation has the means to contact him."

"Moreover, even if we establish contact, I don't think it will be very effective."

"The Sinda Corporation doesn't have more information than we do; they only have the means to contact Chen Ming."

"The intelligence on Dusk remains only the part Chen Ming left behind. Even if we contact Chen Ming, there won't be significant changes in this aspect."

"If Chen Ming doesn't find a way to do something on his own, even without Dusk's items, unexpected situations might occur during the rescue."

This time, the Vice Admiral did not give Bai Quan any reminder, just said, "That's your problem to solve."

A young person suddenly appeared on the communication screen, also seemingly in their early twenties.

It was a girl with ear-length short hair, dressed in a sharp military uniform.

She stood beside the Vice Admiral facing the communication screen, with an intentionally serious expression and said, "The connection between Chen Ming and Sinda Corporation shouldn't have been severed, yet no intelligence has been sent back. I'm even beginning to suspect this situation..."

The Vice Admiral took a sip of tea and unceremoniously tapped her on the back of her head and said, "The more you say not to do such things, the more likely others are to do them. From Chen Ming's record, he shows no inclination towards anti-human behavior."

"As long as we can handle the previous matters justly, and send those people from the Star Zone forces to the places they should go, like the judgment platform."

The girl covered the back of her head, her expression no longer serious, and asked in a casual manner, "Is that enough?"

The Vice Admiral nodded and said, "Someone says it's enough, referring to the person who provided us with that military district smuggling information for the Legion."

"Rescuing Chen Ming is a must, and rescuing Cheng Xinghe is also a must. Xing Hai, don't always hope he'll die out there; losing a competitor isn't a good thing."

Cheng Xinghai regretfully sat nearby, his gaze gradually fixating on the Vice Admiral's tea and snacks.

The Major General didn't pay much attention to Cheng Xinghai, adjusted his glasses, and said, "My current basic objective is to ensure those two are safe; that won't change."

"But I hope to achieve some additional things besides the basic goals."

"The main purpose of this contact is to confirm the fleet the Legion can provide; if they can't, I'll have to apply actively."

The Vice Admiral had no issues with this; Bai Quan, being a Major General, clearly knows what should and shouldn't be done.

However, he also gave a suggestion, "You can wait two days and see the situation on the front line here."

"If the front line is advantageous and you destroy the things Dusk is making, you'll need to apply yourself."

"But if at a disadvantage and Dusk successfully sends things away, we must invest more resources on your side, and there will definitely be warships."

"Dusk is making big moves, and we need to bring back the people we can make big moves with in the future."

"Chen Ming or Cheng Xinghe?"

"Both count. Chen Ming's ability speaks for itself, and Xinghe's potential is also excellent."

"Our new batch of special warships developed in collaboration with Suzi needs a commander with enough capabilities."

"The way these new ships fight is very different from old ones and might overturn the current battleline combat system."

"We're old, our thinking is rigid and can't adapt to new ships, but he is young and has plenty of time to learn."

Cheng Xinghai, who had briefly disappeared with the snacks, suddenly reappeared on the communication screen, with an imperceptible hint of frustration on his face, saying, "I'm also young, I also have potential, why not mention me?"

"Hmm, hmm, you're included too."

The Vice Admiral mumbled ambiguously.

Bai Quan then questioned the Vice Admiral about the ships just mentioned, "I heard those ships are still in the experimental stage, and even the Guard Level ships are unstable?"

"Yes, that's why Chen Ming is also very important."

"If Chen Ming returns with us, by the time Cheng Xinghe has enough combat experience to be self-reliant, he will surely have made some achievements in the technology of these new ships."

"Even if he's not interested in developing in this area, his ability in combat is undeniably strong."

"You've all seen the battle footage, right? You know the combat power of those ships under his control."

"We must ensure the safety of these two, no matter what, so I don't want to hear similar things."

The Vice Admiral sternly stared at Cheng Xinghai nearby.

Cheng Xinghe's playful expression became more serious, and he nodded solemnly.

The Vice Admiral's face also showed satisfaction and said, "Xing Hai, your potential is quite impressive too. Together with them, you will certainly be the main force against Dusk and the Mechanical Race for us humans."

The Vice Admiral then turned to Bai Quan and asked, "Aside from the joint conference, how's your overall situation there?"

"Still stabilizing the fundamentals, not easy to make big moves."

"For now, still aiming to establish good relations with local forces like the Sinda Corporation."

"Gradually take over what's left by the previous military, lay the foundation well, and find opportunities to expand later."

The Vice Admiral had no objections to Bai Quan's approach.

"Yes, steady progress is fine; we're already somewhat constrained by Dusk and must find other paths."

"Your side is now considered our Fourteenth Legion's stepping stone in the Gallo Star Realm. Development there only needs stability."

"But other matters, especially the rescue of Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghe, must not be overly cautious."

Bai Quan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"I understand, I'm already organizing the advance team."
