"This is the starship order that Queen Medusa has placed with us this time.
We must deliver this order before mid-June without affecting our own production plan." Zhao Chen handed over the starship catalog that Queen Medusa had asked for before to Secretary Lilith and Anne in front of him.
Chief Engineer.
After all, this matter involves the finances of the Xiaolong Base and the built interstellar battleships.
"So much? Mid-June!" Chief Engineer Anne was shocked when she saw the number on the order, her head shaking like a rattle.
"Even if Anne is split in half, it is impossible to build so many star battleships in such a short period of time.
I really can’t squeeze out..."
Secretary Lilith looked at the request above.
Three T3 Blizzard class light interstellar battlecruisers, ten T2 Snowmastiff class heavy interstellar battleships and one hundred T2 Black Rhino class interstellar heavy assault frigates.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"This quantity is indeed quite large. Although our original production plan had some spare capacity.
But it is still very difficult to complete the production plan of these interstellar battleships before mid-June." Secretary Lilith said objectively from the side.
Zhao Chen explained: "I'm not asking you to rebuild the interstellar battleship.
It means phasing out some of our old star warships currently in service, and we can build and replenish the share of these phased out star warships later, right?"
Hearing what Commander Zhao Chen said, Chief Engineer Anne breathed a sigh of relief: "The commander is really an old sly man who sold a second-hand star battleship to others at the original price."
A few seconds later, Chief Engineer Annie covered her red cheeks, with a glint in her eyes.
Reporting there honestly: "If it is based on the commander's request, there will be no problem in delivering these star battleships before the end of June.
As for our vacant space battleships, we can all make up for them before mid-July."
Zhao Chen looked at Chief Engineer Anni's face and saw that it felt pretty good.
Chief Engineer Annie felt Commander Zhao Chen's gaze, and immediately retreated behind Secretary Lilith, muttering in a low voice: "If you pinch Annie's face again, it will swell..."
"Ahem... Just follow this plan. We just need to ensure that there are no problems with the quality and performance of the delivered star battleships, and then make some modifications to the appearance. At the same time, remember to install this backdoor system." Zhao Chenxu said with eyes.
Chief Engineer Anni narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Chen. She was about to open her mouth, but thinking of the burning feeling on her cheeks, she immediately held back what she wanted to say.
But I still muttered in my heart: Old silver coins!
Zhao Chen glanced over.
"Annie, let's do it now!" Chief Engineer Anne immediately ran to work, fearing that if she took a step too late, her little face would suffer again.
"Sir Commander, the situation in the Reef Star Territory seems to be about to break out into a major crisis." Secretary Lilith took a further look at this matter.
Zhao Chen nodded: "Yes, the withdrawal of the Machine Tribe triggered a series of chain reactions.
It breaks a lot of the original balance.”
"Our Lion Galaxy will be hard-pressed to survive the war in the Reef Star Territory in the future. We must figure out how to deal with it next," Secretary Lilith reminded.
Reef Starfield!
Zhao Chen thought.
[Trigger system mission ‘Battle of the Reef Star 1/3’]
The system prompt sounded in Zhao Chen's mind.
Battle of the Reef?
This system couldn't have come at a better time.
Keep up with current events.
[Battle of the Reef Starfield 1/3
Please choose a faction first: Surrender to the Star Empire Faction, Surrender to the Warhammer Interstellar United Faction, and Independent Faction]
Isn't this what Queen Medusa told herself before about the three current factions in the Reef Star Territory?
Surrendering to the Xingyao Empire would definitely not work, as that would go against Zhao Chen's original intention of establishing the Xiaolong Galaxy.
Although it is somewhat feasible to surrender to the Warhammer Interstellar United States, the initiative rests with Warhammer. If someone gets moody, Zhao Chen's side will suffer.
Those with the highest degree of freedom are, of course, the independents.
‘Choose an independent’
Zhao Chen had a thought in his mind.
[Battle of the Reef Starfield 1/3
Independent has been chosen
Please complete the first phase of the mission: amidst the civil strife in the Reef Star Territory, help the independent faction rise and defeat the other two main military forces]
The emergence of this mission was basically expected by Zhao Chen.
It is estimated that the tasks of choosing the other two factions are also similar.
In terms of strength, the independent faction is undoubtedly the weakest.
Because the other two factions must be secretly supported by the two interstellar empires to some extent.
Otherwise, Queen Medusa would not have had no choice but to purchase a star battleship from herself.
"Commander...commander?"
Lilith's call in his ears brought Zhao Chen back to his senses.
"Ah... I was thinking about something just now." Zhao Chen said seriously: "This area of the Reef Star Territory is quite special, and we cannot let it be controlled by any force.
We can't get in too early now, so I think we can prepare in advance.
Providing Queen Medusa with these interstellar battleships is the first step. We ourselves must also expand our interstellar fleet as soon as possible and be ready for war at any time.
At the same time, although we will not join the game on the surface, we can send the T3 Silver Rat-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship into various parts of the reef star field to spy on intelligence.
Paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Reef Star Territory in real time can help us choose an appropriate time for our official entry."
Secretary Lilith understood what Commander Zhao Chen meant and agreed with him.
Nowadays, the partisanship in the Star Empire is also very complicated, and the Lion Galaxy and even the Reef Star Territory may become Zhao Chen's retreat in the future.
"In short, for now, let's just wait and see from the other side and improve our own strength." Zhao Chen highlighted the key points.
Secretary Lilith nodded.
…
Time flies to mid-June of 3032 in the Milky Way star calendar.
Because of the Beiyan Starship Technology Group incident, the Starship Empire is getting closer and closer to the delivery date of the second batch of starships for its military purchase order, causing the incident to reach its peak.
At the same time, several armed conflicts broke out in the Reef Star Territory.
From the very beginning, several forces discussed the future of the Reef Star Territory, but in the end they were unable to convince each other and started large-scale armaments.
A large number of star battleships produced by the Star Empire and the Warhammer Star Wars began to be continuously imported into the star fleets of various forces in the Reef Star Territory.
The smoke in the Reef Star Territory has become increasingly fierce, as if it might explode at any time.
Among them, the independent faction is the weakest because there are no channels to purchase high-quality star battleships.
This caused many interstellar forces that were originally on the side of the independent faction to defect to the other two factions one after another.
Lion Galaxy Stargate
Queen Medusa, who had been waiting for Zhao Chen's notification, immediately rushed to the Lion Galaxy with her reserve crew after receiving the detailed delivery time.
Within the restricted war zone of the Star Gate.
A T3 Scorpion-class medium-sized interstellar cruiser bridge
Queen Medusa is waiting eagerly. Her face looks a little haggard. It seems that the affairs in the Reef Star Territory during this period have made her very anxious.
