章節 1107: 1107 Naturally

[Commander, a delicate matter has come up, and we require your insight at your urgent convenience.]

[Max, we are in the process of a hostile takeover of sixty different intergalactic military suppliers. Stall the Envoys for one hour and it will be a done deal.]

That shouldn't be too difficult to do, as they were likely to have a lot to talk about, and he could get them lost in the details for a while before anything significant came up. 

[I will do my best. They have already requested an urgent meeting, and getting that arranged should burn the first thirty minutes. Send me the list as you have them finalized.]

[Will do. I expect great things.]
