Chapter 294: This World Giant Enterprise C is a guaranteed win! Stay steady and don’t waste time!

Immediately, Leto told Paul a lot of information about the Universal Corporation, but the core content was two points:
First of all, with the fleet of the world's giant enterprise here, there is basically no free C package.

The guards of our Atreides family are just there to cheer and take advantage of the gaps. The main output comes from the giant enterprise's troops, and it is enough for us to just give them an assist.

Don't rush forward and give away kills. If anyone dares to give away kills, don't blame me for scolding them through the microphone.

Secondly, the position of Galactic Emperor does not belong to their Atreides family, so there is no need for them to rush forward and work for the giant corporation.

The revolution will be successful soon and the fruits of victory will be shared. If you stay quiet, you can enjoy the benefits, which will last for generations. So don't do anything unnecessary now.

Keeping steady and not reckless is more important than anything else!

After learning that the Atreides Family had the powerful fleet of the Universal Corporation and the other party's unrivaled shield technology, which could crush any force of the Empire.

Paul was a little confused.

He suddenly remembered the man who appeared in his dream. Could it be Li Ang, the CEO of the Universal Corporation? !

If this is the case, then there is really no need for him to work harder. Instead, it would be easier to achieve the family's strategic goals if he works less hard at this time.

Since you can win by just lying down, there is really no need to do anything else.

"Okay father, I understand!"

Paul nodded thoughtfully, taking Leto's words to heart.

……

Two weeks later.

The fleet of the Atreides family successfully arrived at Arrakis without asking for help from the Guild of Astronautics, relying on the fleet power of the Universal Corporation.

This Atreides Fleet, composed of the advance expeditionary force of the Cosmic Corporation, two hundred micro-ships and five hundred flapping-wing aircraft, is the basis of Leto's fight against the Corino Royal Family.

Although there are less than a thousand spaceships and flapping-wing aircraft, which are not even comparable to the number of carrier-based aircraft carried by an aircraft carrier of a giant enterprise in the world, this is already all the assets of the Atreides family.

Fortunately, the giant ships of the Universal Corporation helped to hold the fort, so that the fleet of Atreides would not be destroyed in seconds by the tall ships of the Space Guild.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of many family forces, the giant corporate fleet that first occupied the low-Earth orbit on the sunlit side of Arrakis began to release countless AI drones and carrier-based aircraft towards the ground.

From a distance, it looked like a swarm of metal locusts. This scene surprised many family dignitaries.

They had no idea when the Atreides secretly built this huge interstellar fleet.

You know, the core technology of the Galactic Empire's warships is basically controlled by the engineers of the Astronomical Guild. Without the help of the Astronomical Guild, these families can only rely on self-research if they want to own a fleet!
But if we want to rely on self-research, we will need a large amount of Mentat for scientific research calculations, and the demand for spices is unimaginable.

The royal spies were furious when they saw that the guards of the Atreides family had arrived at Arrakis without the help of the Guild.

Because in order to weaken and delay the fleet of the Atreides Family, Emperor Saddam bribed the Space Guild with a large amount of spices, asking them to take their time and not to care so much about the affairs of the Atreides Family.

But who would have known that Leto never placed any orders for warships with the Guild, and instead drove his own fleet directly to Arrakis.

But the rewards have been given out, and those drug addicts in the Space Guild will not return the spices. They can only promise to provide more help to the royal family and the Harkonnen family in terms of warships.

As for how much it can help, that’s not certain!

At this moment, inside a spaceship in a star field 30,000 kilometers away from Arrakis, the senior members of the Harkonnen family were looking at the fleet of the Atreides family with expressions of curiosity and surprise.

Like members of other families, they were also curious about the Atreides' interstellar battleships, especially the blade-shaped dreadnought, which looked particularly domineering!
"My Lord Baron, the offensive equipment and aircraft carrier formation of that fleet seem quite powerful, and their reconnaissance and detection of the surroundings are also quite complete."

"Until now, our scouts have not obtained any useful intelligence. It seems that the Atreides family has been planning this for a long time. No wonder they dare to declare war on the emperor and us!"

The person who spoke was Peter DeVore, the mentat of the Harkonnen family. As a loyal lackey of the Harkonnen family, Peter gained the trust of Baron Barron with his cleverness and vicious tactics.

The head of the Harkonnen family is Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, but he is different from Duke Leto, who is mature, sophisticated and has extraordinary temperament.

At this moment, Baron Barron looked like a piece of white and tender human-shaped pork belly, bloated, greasy and fat. It was hard to tell that he was the patriarch of the Harkonnen family.

But in fact, Baron Barron once had a period of extraordinary handsomeness, but because he offended the Virgin Helen, he was infected with the virus and became the half-human he is now.

This state of being a fat otaku also created Baron Barron's abnormal, vicious and crazy personality. Greed, lust and love of money are the basic colors of his character.

In order to maximize the exploitation of Arrakis' spice resources, this fat guy oppressed and exploited the local indigenous Fremen.

This has led to the Fremen's long-standing resentment towards the Harkonnen family. As long as there is an opportunity, they will rush up and crush this powerful family.

"Is there really no news at all?"

Barron squeezed out a low, questioning voice from his fat throat. He suspected that his subordinates were incompetent and couldn't even do such a small thing.

"I have already urged them. I believe there will be new news soon!"

Peter responded cautiously. He knew his baron's temper, and any answer that did not conform to his will immediately arouse his anger.

To put it nicely, his kindness and severity are unpredictable; to put it bluntly, he is just a giant baby who cannot control his emotions, a classic crazy tyrant.

"Haha! That fleet looks pretty impressive. No wonder old Leto dared to attack us."

At this time, Baron Barron sneered. He didn't understand why the Atreides family would be willing to spend such a huge price to create that bunch of living targets.

Do you really think their Holtzman shield doesn't exist?

"That fleet is big, but it won't take many energy turrets to take it out. Leto is old and confused."

Barron expressed his contempt and disdain for the Atreides family unabashedly. These idiots were worthy of coming to seize his Arrakis and spice business. They could only dream on!

But Peter, who noticed something was wrong, hesitated for a moment before reminding Barron and said:

"My Lord Baron, I don't think this matter is that simple. Duke Leto may not be equipped with the Holtzman shield. In that case, it may not be that easy to destroy this fleet."

Just by looking at the warships from a distance, Peter felt that the enemy's armor was ridiculously thick, and relying on some small-caliber energy cannons might not be effective. "That's fine."

Baron Barron smiled disapprovingly and said, "War is just a waste of money. In order to completely destroy the Atreides Family, I exchanged all the money that the Harkonnen Family earned from spices over the years for warships."

"Now nearly half of the Guild's ships, warships, and navigators are basically on our side. Atreides has built so many useless things. I guess they have reached the end of their rope."

"Leto is just an old poor fellow now. Once this war starts, he will be killed even if it is delayed!"

In the Galactic Empire, the space fleet strength of each major family is almost zero.

Most of the time, when they need warships or spaceships, they will look for the Space Guild and organize an interstellar battleship corps.

Either by renting or by buying out.

Of course, most families would choose the more cost-effective option of renting spaceships. After all, the cost of long-term upkeep and maintenance of a fleet is simply too high!
In addition, there are usually not many conflicts between families that would get to the point of a life-and-death struggle, so even top families like the Harkonnen family would only ask the Space Guild to rent ships to fight.

Even the royal family is the same.

In short, fighting a war is a very expensive hobby in itself, and fighting an interstellar naval battle is an even more expensive and extravagant act.

Therefore, in this awkward situation where a good cook cannot cook without rice, the major families in the empire would basically set a battlefield first before arranging a fight, and everyone would fight a more "economical" ground war.

Anyway, the dead soldiers can allow civilians to continue living, but if a spaceship is destroyed, the family will really have to spend real money to buy or rent it!

What's more, this time the Colino royal family took the lead and let the Harkonnen family gang up on the Atreides family. The two families worked together to seize Lei Toladen's gold coins. Where can you find such a good thing?

"Emperor Saddam has brought his Sadoka Legion to guard the battlefield. With the combined siege of our two families, I want to see how long that old man can survive!"

……

While Baron Barron and the major families were closely watching the war taking place in the Galactic Empire, a group of Atreides guards had already appeared on the ground of Arrakis.

On the dry, sandy planet, guards from the Hawat and Atreides families had arrived here in advance and conducted a series of inspections and reconnaissance in preparation for Duke Leto's arrival.

After clearing out the assassins and assassins left behind by the Harkonnen family, Hawat dared to allow Duke Leto to visit Arrakis.

Here, as the two flapping-wing aircraft slowly descended, Duke Leto, dressed in military uniform, and his family members all walked out of the cabin.

Leto had come to the battlefield despite the danger, mainly to show that he had come to Arrakis in keeping his contract and was waiting for the troops of Corinor and Harkonnen to come and fight.

Who will be the throne of the Galactic Empire? Let’s find out on the battlefield!

At this moment, Duke Leto stood on the high platform and looked around at the soldiers. When he saw the family guards and tens of thousands of Fremen mercenaries, he suddenly felt his blood boiling.

Although these people were just there to make up the numbers and their main role was to help out, it did not affect Duke Leto's passionate mood at the moment.

Listening to the melodious war drums and the cheers from below, Duke Leto nodded and said with emotion: "From now on, the masters of Arrakis are our Atreides!"

But soon, Leto realized that he had said the wrong thing. Arrakis and the spices were things chosen by the Universal Corporation. He was only holding them temporarily.

Thinking of this, Leto immediately whispered to Hawat, "We must mine as much spice as possible before the Universal Corporation takes over Arrakis, in case of emergency."

Now that the Atreides family has reached an agreement with the Universal Corporation, they cannot go back on their word.

But it would be a pity to give up the spices just like that. While we can still mine some, we should try to save some for ourselves as a backup.

"Yes... However, at our current mining speed, it may be a bit slow."

Hawat said with a smile.

It turned out that before leaving Arrakis, the Harkonnen family had taken away all the advanced mining equipment, leaving behind only some old and backward mining machines.

This also resulted in their mining efficiency being a bit slow. Fortunately, Universal Corporation had agreed to provide equipment to help them mine spices, but it had not been delivered yet.

"Ah."

Leto nodded.

Of course, it would be best to have the help of a global giant.

But when he thought of the mysterious giant company executive Leon, Leto felt a strong curiosity and the desire to meet him.

Through the information about the giant company provided by Song Zhaomei, Leto learned that Song Zhaomei was just an ordinary department executive within the giant company, and not even the most important department executive.

What kind of big shot is Le Ang, who is about to become the Emperor of the Galactic Empire?

After thinking for a moment, Leto came to his senses and continued to ask Hawat: "Has anything important happened during this period?"

Hawat thought about it and then replied: "Nothing serious, it's basically within our expectations."

"Emperor Saddam spent a large sum of money to send the Sadoka Legion here, and Barron also spent a lot of money to rent spaceships and warships."

The Sadoka Legion is the elite force of the Corino Imperial Family. They are quite capable in ground combat, but now times have changed.

On the surface, Leto had agreed with Emperor Saddam and Baron Barron to fight on the ground of Arrakis, but in fact, he had already ordered the fleet of the Megacorp to occupy various fortress passages in advance.

One part was used as a frontal lure, and the other part was used as an ambush force to attack from the rear.

As soon as the Space Guild's tall ships and the spaceships carrying the Sadok Legion appear, they will immediately attack and defeat the enemy halfway across the river!

With a powerful naval fleet, who would be stupid enough to wait for the enemy to land on the planet and engage in a time-consuming and laborious land battle?

Since the royal family can team up to play a righteous two-on-one, it is not excessive for the Atreides family to launch a sneak attack.

With the huge expeditionary force of the Universal Corporation, the royal family and Harkonnen's ground forces would have to get through the Universal Corporation first if they want to land on Arrakis.

As soon as the fleets of these two companies clash with the giant enterprises, they will immediately know what the civilization-level gap is!
