Chapter 715 New arms sales target
In the Imperial Palace, a small meeting on arms sales is being held.
Zhang Shusheng sat at the top, and on either side sat Premier Zhou Guolai of the Imperial Government Council, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Liu Shaoqi, General Manager of Shusheng Company Sun Laixi, General Manager of Habarok Arms Company Hadun, Minister of Military Affairs Jiang Baili, Minister of Warfare Su Yuren and others.
Zhang Shusheng took the lead and lit a cigarette, indicating to others that they could smoke as they wished. He tapped a piece of information on the table with his right hand and said with a smile, "I know you have been arguing about these 110 Tianlong-class battleships for several months.
Some want to sell them to subsidize the empire's finances. Some want to join them in active service to enrich the empire's military strength.
In fact, I agree with both of your ideas, but I am more inclined to sell them.
How to sell it is a question, and who to sell it to is also a question. Everyone has seen these materials. Feel free to speak freely. We are all old acquaintances. Don't be restrained just because this emperor is here."[
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Shusheng's words caused a burst of laughter. Normally, as long as such closed meetings were not discussing any very serious national affairs, His Majesty the Emperor would take the initiative to liven up the atmosphere and complete the meeting in a relaxed atmosphere with cigarettes, snacks and tea.
"Your Majesty, after we evacuated Ragu Planet, the Lanks came back. They stationed heavy troops on Ragu Planet. It is conservatively estimated that they have more than 200 battleships. Relying on Ragu Star will have an adverse impact on our future actions.
It's a nail in the coffin.
There are short-term worries but long-term concerns. Don’t ignore the power behind the Lanke people.”
Jiang Baili wanted to fight for it again, emphasizing the importance of military preparedness. At this time, unlike in the past, the surrounding star fields of the empire were almost reduced to a pulp.
Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister Jiang's worries are justified. The current external situation is tending to become corrupt. Thousands of years of peace have accumulated too much hatred. The old forces are worried that their interests will be taken away by the new rising forces.
Rising forces are busy dealing with obstacles in their rise.
The fundamental reason for this war is that all parties, including the established countries, are no longer satisfied with the division of interests and want to use war to create a new division of power.
Of course, the trigger is the Rong family of the Silver Moon Empire."
The virtual projection device on the conference table projected a picture, and then switched continuously so that everyone could see it clearly. The above is information about the Rong family of the Silver Moon Empire.
"A super family eager to build a country. The Rong family must have seen the signs of the war storm in advance, so they eagerly jumped out to support the Principality of Lanke, and finally achieved the goal of founding the country in a curve and taking over Lanke.
Now the war is getting worse and worse, and the situation is getting worse and worse. However, the Rong family has stood firm with its absolute financial resources and the backing of the third-level civilization.
From the intelligence point of view, after fighting for such a long time, the strength of the Principality of Rank has not only not weakened, but has become stronger and stronger. The large fleet has gone from one scale before the war to four now, with more than 4,000 battleships.
, what is this concept? Four large fleets are equivalent to two and a half main fleets of the Nok Merchant Alliance, and the strength of the Rong family cannot be underestimated."
Jiang Baili stared at these pictures and data and said that he was familiar with these information about the Silver Moon Empire and the political and economic strength of the Rong family. He was shocked by the energy of such a large family every time.
"For the Rong family, this is not only a game of nation-building, but also a bet on the fate of the family. The internal power reshuffle of the Silver Moon Empire has left the Rong family at a disadvantage. In order to balance all parties, Silver Moon decided to support according to the old rules
Those families that lost power went out to form vassal countries of Silver Moon.
The power of the Rong family is too strong. Not to mention the support they receive from Silver Moon, their own economic strength and the administrative planet they manage are several times that of the Principality of Lanke.
It is actually a second-level civilization without a formal identity, and it is relatively powerful. Now it is just trying to jump onto the stage."
Zhang Shusheng had to lament the tyranny of the intermediate civilization. The third-level civilization was already considered an intermediate civilization. They were powerful, had vast territory, and had strong military power. Not to mention its own strength, any one of its families would be amazing.
Moreover, this method of resolving internal struggles, which is similar to "enfeoffment", has greatly alleviated the internal conflicts of Silver Moon for thousands of years. The winner will naturally continue to enjoy the rights and interests of the Silver Moon Empire, and the loser will also receive the full support of the Empire to build the country. Success will eventually
Naturally, everyone is happy, the Silver Moon Empire will also get a younger brother who is not weak, and the failed family will not be devastated, achieving an indirect win-win situation.
Especially now that the establishment of a family nation with the support of third-level civilization is also mixed with the conflicts between intermediate civilizations that have been accumulated for thousands of years, this matter has become a big deal.[
Jiang Baili continued: "After Ranke took over the Rong family, his strength increased dramatically, and the existence of the space gate made the support from the Silver Moon Empire almost continuous.
To give an example, on October 18, 1960, imperial time, that is, last year, the super fleet composed of the fifth and sixth fleets of the Nok Merchant Alliance severely defeated the first super fleet of the Lank people. The Lank people were only battleships.
More than 1,800 ships were lost. At that time, all public opinion believed that the Lank people were doomed. The people of the Nok Merchant Alliance were even preparing to celebrate wildly, but what was the result?
As a result, the secret fifth fleet of the Lancs quickly took over and deployed its defenses. Except for some advanced robots, the battleship soldiers were all soldiers of the Rong family. It was later proven that this was the Rong family's own fleet.
For another example, on February 18 this year, the Orions, in collaboration with four small countries, organized a super fleet of more than 3,000 battleships to launch a fierce attack on the Lank people, hoping to open up the situation and capture one or two of the Lank people in one fell swoop.
Planet.
According to our suggestions, the early Orions concentrated on using our Tianlong-class battleships, led by 150 Tianlong battleships, to make key breakthroughs. The Lancians were beaten back steadily, losing more than 600 battleships in half a month. What was the result?
?”
Zhang Shusheng smiled and answered, "As a result, the Lancians shamefully brought out one of their trump cards. A fleet of 200 F-class battleships went to the front line and fought a draw with our Tianlong battleship.
In terms of quality, our Tianlong-class battleships are better, and they already have certain advantages over conventional F-class battleships. This is why the Lank people were extremely shocked. They thought that the Kuluo Federation was secretly supporting the Orions, so they did not hesitate to expose their cards and send out an elite fleet.
reason.
Facts have proven that our 150 Tianlong-class ships still have certain advantages against the conventional F-class battleships of the Silver Moon Empire."
"Yes, so the Orions sent an urgent call, hoping to purchase another batch of Tianlong-class battleships, and even suggested that the price is not an issue."
Zhou Guolai said quickly.
Zhang Shusheng thought for a while and said, "The emotions of the Orions still need to be taken care of. The Lanke people have the support of the Rong family and they casually pulled out an elite small fleet. The Orions were greatly stimulated. President Hu Kun even contacted him personally
I hope we can urgently provide a group of battleships, which they will use to supplement the front line. This elite fleet of the Lancs scared the Orions.
I promised him that 75 of this batch of battleships will set sail this month, and the price is 138 times the previous price. General Manager Hatton is responsible for replenishing the remaining 35 ships in stock to 80 for us.
I would like to add that according to the latest news, the Orions also experimentally obtained a batch of F-class battleships from the Guluo Federation, but they used them in the capital star circle as a reserve force. There are about 150 battleships in this batch.
The performance is slightly worse than ours, and the price is five percentage points lower than our latest quotation."
Zhang Shusheng had never mentioned this news before. When he just said it, everyone was very surprised. It is a great thing that Tianlong-class battleships can be sold at such a good price. In this way, those who want to sell battleships can do so with 75 ships.
The original money for 110 ships.
However, the Kuluo Federation was finally willing to lower the price because of the tense situation. This behemoth would also start to support its forces. However, according to the usual habits of the Kuluo Federation, he neither wanted the Orions to be too powerful nor wanted to defeat the Orions, so
Although the price of F-class battleships has dropped, the number is not too much or too little, just enough to compete with the F-class battleships exposed by the Lancs.
As a result, if the Orions want to make a breakthrough on the front, they can only continue to purchase battleships from China and at the same time urge the Chinese to increase production capacity every day.
"In the eyes of the Orions, our annual output of 350 ships next year is still too low. They are probably hoping that our annual output will reach the level of 1,000 ships, which will allow them to capture half a Frank in one go."
Hatton said with a wry smile. When Zhang Shusheng talked about replenishing the battleships, he was focusing on the batch of completed battleships next month. "There is no problem in replenishing 45 battleships. There will be a batch of completed goods in two months. However,
After this batch is used up, we will have to wait until the end of this year."
"Your Majesty, the batch at the end of the year..."
Jiang Baili said quickly.
Zhang Shusheng finally made a decision, "There are 95 ships in the batch at the end of the year. Let's give it to your Space Force. In this way, you can make up 250 Tianlong-class battleships, plus 8 Shenlong-class flagship battleships. Your strength can already resist
We are about to be attacked by a large Lanc fleet."
The safety of the empire is still the most important. It is very important that the Imperial Space Force can rely on the planet fortress to defend against possible sneak attacks by the Ranks.[
Money can be earned slowly, and battleships can be produced as much as possible. As long as the cost is invested, the output will always be increased. But once the main force of the Lancs sneaks over, they will have no choice but to blow up the route and face the huge trouble of reopening it.
Zhang Shusheng returned to the topic and opened a situation map, which listed a total of 15 countries. He pointed with his right hand and said, "Look at the map, I have selected two countries. If there is no problem, this arms sales will occur in one of them.
Chapter completed!
