After Windemir declared war on Caius, everyone in the Ragna branch happened to sign a new contract. This contract had a longer term of validity, and it also included a rule that they were not allowed to quit Caius during wartime. Of course, the benefits would also be increased. When this contract was signed, it was voluntary. Fortunately, everyone in the Ragna branch had signed this contract. In other words, under the current situation, even if Xiao Ran acquired Caius, none of these people had the right to quit. That was why Xiao Ran said that they were lucky to be able to keep all these people.
The acquisition of Caius by Xiao Ran was definitely a very sudden thing for Ernest and the others. A few days ago, Caius had either tactfully or explicitly rejected Xiao Ran. But now, a few days later, Xiao Ran had become the biggest boss of Caius, holding all the rights of Caius single-handedly. And it was Xiao Ran who came to inform them, which shocked Ernest quite a bit.
But it had been quite some time since Xiao Ran sent Cruzet to Earth. Under the current situation, the first thing Cruzet did after arriving on Earth was to contact the real higher-ups of Caius. Cruzet alone was enough to take on two people. Not to mention, Bai Hechou and Uzzes also followed Cruzet to Earth.
In less than thirty-six hours, Xiao Ran had obtained more than sixty percent of Caius' shares and changed Caius' surname to Xiao. As for the higher-ups of Caius on Earth, other than the stubborn ones, most of them had more or less received compensation from Xiao Ran. They had also agreed to some conditions and conditions. Kreutzer and the others did not wipe out all of the other party's shares. Instead, they left these people some shares that were not enough to affect the future development of Caius. They were allowed to follow the army and enjoy a certain amount of benefits. However, at the same time, these people had also lost all authority to command Caius.
Facing the strength of the army and the foreseeable benefits in the future, as well as the conditions that Cruzet and the others were willing to pay, the higher-ups of Caius, whether it was the nobles in the unified government or the big shots in the military, could only smile and agree in their hearts. In fact, the consequences of not agreeing were completely predictable. They would either become puppets or never see the light of day.
Xiao Ran's methods were sometimes quite evil, but Cruzet, Bai Hechou, Uzzes, and the others combined their methods were even more evil and cruel. Moreover, they had an absolute advantage in terms of ability and strength, an absolute advantage in terms of background, and the support of the most powerful people in the unified government. Some things were simply too easy for them.
After dealing with Caius, Cruzet, Bai Hechou, Uzzes, and the others, they did not continue to focus on the acquisition of companies. Instead, they sent the acquisition negotiation team out to stir up trouble while they secretly began to contact the president of the new unified government, preparing to start a thorough purge of the new unified government on Earth.
As soon as he obtained the ownership of Caius, Xiao Ran was notified. But now, Xiao Ran was most interested in the intelligence agency of Caius, the current Ragnar branch, and all the technology of Caius. After letting the intelligence department take over the intelligence agency of Caius and send all the technology back to the fleet, Xiao Ran personally came to Ernest's office and temporarily put all the rest of the takeover and reorganization of Caius on hold. He only ordered the other branches of Caius to maintain the status quo, and the rest could only be dealt with slowly after the matter of the unification of the Brichgaman Star Cluster and Earth was resolved.
On Ragnar's side, when he heard Xiao Ran's words, Ernest was also shocked for a while. He opened his mouth, but what he said to Xiao Ran was completely different from what he thought in his heart. "Lord Xiao Ran, I will immediately confirm with HQ."
Xiao Ran smiled casually. "I just received the news not long ago. I think you should get the news soon too. If there's nothing else, you can wait for a while."
Ernest nodded. Seeing how confident Xiao Ran was, he actually believed everything Xiao Ran said just now. Caius had been acquired by Xiao Ran of F Fleet. Deep down, Ernest knew that once Xiao Ran acquired Caius, it would definitely be a good thing for the people fighting on the frontlines. But at the same time, Ernest also wondered how Caius could decide on the acquisition and get the final result in such a short time when Caius had clearly expressed its refusal.
Thinking of the information he got from Yao and Allard not long ago, Ernest, of course, doubted that Xiao Ran's acquisition of Caius was normal and reasonable. Whether the senior personnel were controlled, whether they sold Caius to Xiao Ran voluntarily, and whether Unified would agree to let such a private armed force fall into the hands of Xiao Ran. Ernest did not even think about it, because he knew that Unified was definitely on Xiao Ran's side.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ernest to receive a formal internal notice from Caius. This notice was not only for the Ragnar branch, but also for all branches of Caius. It informed all members of Caius that Caius had been acquired by F Ship Group and had become a subsidiary of F Ship Group. From today onwards, all members of Caius would strictly follow F Ship Group, or rather, Xiao Ran's orders.
But before the acquisition and reorganization began, all branches would continue to act according to the original plan without making any arrangements. Everyone's salary would be raised by one level, and the required funds, supplies, and other requirements would be distributed according to the plan. At the same time, all branches would be given a new inventory of supplies, and they could start to apply for the latest supplies, including the transformation fighter. All members of Caius would also be rewarded according to the original contribution record of Caius.
The latter could barely be regarded as a benefit for Caius. Since Caius had been acquired by F Fleet, of course, the treatment would be raised to the same level as F Fleet.
But the Ragnar branch also received another order in addition to the official letter, and that was to unconditionally cooperate and obey Xiao Ran's orders. And from today onwards, the Ragnar branch would be directly under Xiao Ran's command. In fact, it didn't matter whether there was this order or not. It was just more formal.
After Ernest finished reading all the official documents, he sighed softly and saluted Xiao Ran again. "Lord Xiao Ran, the Caius Ragnar branch will obey all the arrangements and orders of the Lord Xiao Ran from now on."
Ernest's words and actions made Yao and Allad understand that Caius had indeed become Xiao Ran's company, which made them feel quite complicated. They followed behind Ernest and saluted Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded and gestured for the three to put down their hands. He said, "Since you've confirmed it, we're now a family. There's no need to be polite and superfluous. As for the rest, it doesn't matter who you want to confirm it with. I won't deny that I used some means in the acquisition of Caius. It's not a big deal to me, but at least everyone has a good ending in the end."
"Now that you are my subordinates, I will say these words to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings between us. This will also cause you to have some unwanted thoughts, doubts, and even doubts when you carry out your orders. In the end, it will cause problems for the mission."
"If you have any questions, you can ask them later. No matter what the question is, as long as I think I can answer it, I'll give you the answer, including the whole process of the acquisition of Caius."
Ernest nodded silently. Xiao Ran's words were generous. He didn't care about the investigation and confirmation at all. Although Caius had a MS. M, she wasn't an independent owner of Caius. Even if she didn't agree to Xiao Ran's acquisition of Caius, she or she didn't have the ability to stop Caius from falling into Xiao Ran's hands.
And now, this MS. M was currently on Earth. According to Cruzet's description, she was a beautiful lady in her fifties or sixties, but she looked like she was in her forties. After reaching an agreement with the other higher-ups of Caius, she had no choice but to sell the shares that belonged to Caius. But in the end, she still kept 10% and had the right to supervise Caius.
As for the true identity of this MS. M, Kreutzer and the others didn't do anything inappropriate to this lady they were cooperating with. Therefore, they only sent people to monitor her, and couldn't find out anything about her past from her mouth.
Ernest didn't say anything. Instead, Barkania deliberately asked, "Lord Xiao Ran, I just want to know if the acquisition process is legal and reasonable."
"It's barely legal." Xiao Ran looked at Barkania with a smile and said, "At least on the surface, there isn't any problem with the whole process. I know what you want to ask, but the report I received said that more than 80% of the people reached the agreement under their own will. As for the remaining few, they were more or less treated differently."
"I won't hide this from you. For me, the most important thing is the harmony between my subordinates and my superiors. But at least the final result is good for them. They can get resources from the fleet, resources that they can't get in the entire Milky Way. After all, this is a business and also an act of war. The business world is like a battlefield, and some tricks are unavoidable."
Barkania nodded and didn't say anything. Although Xiao Ran didn't explain clearly what the so-called tricks were, she really didn't want to imagine the darkest and most terrifying means. After all, although she was a member of Caius, the higher-ups had nothing to do with her. Things had already reached this stage, and with her ability and authority, what could she do? At least, from the fact that more than 80% of the people were willing to work for Xiao Ran was enough for her to obediently work for him.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Xiao Ran looked at the three of them, stood up from where he was sitting, and said to the three of them, "Then you should prepare as soon as possible. All members of the Caius Ragnar branch will head to the fleet immediately. After that, you will undergo special training."
"Captain Ernest, please pass on all the information about the Ragnar branch to Kane or El Erf as soon as possible."
Ernest nodded. "Yes, but Lord Xiao Ran, if the Ragnar branch leaves, how should we deal with the situation in Windemere? At least let the Valkyrie stay. Their ability can suppress the berserker's disease, and I believe it will be of some help to Lord Xiao Ran's next operation and the entire Brichgaman Star Cluster."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Ernest. After pondering for a moment, he nodded. "Very well. The Valkyrie team will stay, and the Delta team will head to my fleet with the branch."
Ernest nodded. He knew that he definitely couldn't stay, and the combat power of the Delta team was not worth mentioning in Xiao Ran's eyes. It was impossible for them to stay, but at least the Valkyrie had to stay, not only because the Valkyrie could suppress the berserker's disease, but also because he hoped that the Valkyrie could participate in Xiao Ran's next operation and let him know all the changes that would happen in the Brichgaman Star Cluster.
Ernest spoke again. "Lord Xiao Ran, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of training will we receive next?"
Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously. "The training of the entire Ragnar branch will be far beyond your expectations, especially you, Ernest. Your task will be more than others. Not only will you have to fully understand the current situation of the fleet, the parameters of all the weapons, all the tactics and combinations of all the military forces, you will also need to learn the new warship command method and tactical system, and you will personally lead the fleet to undergo actual combat training. Someone will make detailed arrangements for you by then."
"As for the Delta team and the other combat forces of this warship, all of them will undergo an early assessment before the training begins. Those who pass and those who fail will undergo completely different training at the same time, but they will also have to familiarize themselves with the new body, tactics, and weapons. Eventually, they will also undergo endless actual combat training with you."
Xiao Ran deliberately paused here, and then continued. "To be honest, the combat power of the Delta team may be the trump card in your eyes, but in my fleet, they can barely reach the elite level, not even the captain level, let alone the trump card. Their overall strength is only the intermediate level, barely enough to enter the central army of my fleet."
