Chapter 569 The Chairman's increasingly violent shipbuilding plan
On the evening of September 29, 832 Common Calendar, as a member of the Blue Star Community's military observation group, Yu Lianzheng, his senior brother, and Major Poppas were eating hot pot, singing songs, and cracking melon seeds, waiting for midnight.
moment, the beginning of the main play.
That was also the day when the "Honorary Mission" military exercise that the empire had been exaggerating for more than half a year began. At this moment, Yu Lian, who had been bored near Crystal City for nearly a whole week, felt that he was about to wither from waiting. He asked the universe
Zhiling promised that he was really looking forward to this military exercise and really wanted to watch its opening up close. He was definitely not using it to cover up his other purposes.
Imagine it. The Galactic Empire mobilized more than 3,000 large and small warships, including four Titan ships, hundreds of planet fortresses, and more than 4 million of the most elite officers and soldiers, spreading across hundreds of galaxies.
In the remote star areas of the empire, the sky is dark and the earth is dark. What man with a correct outlook on life and normal aesthetics would not be full of expectations for such a scene?
Of course the same is true for Yu Lian, not to mention, this is a special seat where you can watch the battle up close. In addition, I heard that there is a one percent casualty indicator for this God of War Festival?
You know, Yu Lian is the "God's Chosen Champion" who has just emerged from a real Shura field. For anyone, the only thing that is more satisfying than eating a melon is probably that he is regarded as a melon by others.
?
In short, these double reasons constitute double happiness. He is really looking forward to all this now. Even in his previous life, when he went to watch the Celestial Galaxy Cup finals and spent a lot of money to beat the earth to win the championship, he didn't.
So looking forward to it now.
However, maybe before something good happens, someone will always come to spoil the scenery, just like when everyone was a naughty kid, they were always forced to perform before going to have a big meal. So, there was only an hour before the military exercise officially started.
At that time, Yu Lian, who was at his observation post, received a communication from the earth.
At first, Yu Lian thought it was one of the Earth's Gonggun princes who was about to have a gastric ulcer due to his various tricks. Finally, he couldn't help but come to ask for punishment. Of course, this was also because of him.
As expected, and had already prepared the lines to fight back. But what he never expected was that the chairman of the National Defense Committee, Mr. Keith Nichta, who appeared in the light screen, was still tall and handsome.
He was smiling all over his face, and it was the kind of refreshing and sincere smile that is unique to young people who seem to have never been beaten by society.
For a moment, Yu Lian didn't know whether he should feel happy or sad, so he imitated the other person's behavior and forced himself to give himself a candid smile.
"Your Excellency, Chairman." Yu Lian and Major Poppas stood up and saluted.
"This is a private channel, not a formal occasion, so you don't need to be so polite." The chairman said: "Wow, hot pot! Hahahaha, this is a man's food! However, you can get this in a remote star area.
This stuff is really awesome."
Vickers Nichta, who was over forty years old, was filled with a very contagious and friendly smile. He first exchanged a few impeccable polite words with Tantai Jing, and then encouraged Major Poppas with a few words.
Cai Dao: "The country has been paying attention to the current situation of the exercise. However, the closer the exercise is, the more panicked I feel. I can't sleep, so I want to have a casual chat with you."
This is equivalent to saying clearly that this boy is my best friend, Keith Nicita. Although Yu Lian wanted to discuss this issue, he couldn't find an entry point for a while, so he could only let him go.
.
However, not speaking was acquiescing. Although Tantai Jing's expression did not change much, there were a few more indescribable emotions in his eyes. Major Poppas looked at Yu Lian with even more awe.
It is infinitely close to seeing golden thighs.
Since it was Big Brother who wanted to chat with his "brother", the two of them were of course ready to say goodbye, but His Excellency the Chairman said that he didn't need to mind him at all. Since it was a chat, of course the more friends he had, the more lively it would be. You are eating hot pot, right?
You can also add yourself. Isn't it also a kind of elegance for everyone to drink and chat across half the Milky Way?
I don't think it's elegant, I just think it's wasteful. Do you think the instant messaging of the seismic wave is cheap?
Although Yu Lian wanted to complain like this, Mr. Chairman had already called the attendant to bring him the same style of red pot and the same style of cold beer. For a moment, it really felt like we were dining together half a galaxy apart.
, it is indeed a very fresh experience. No, Major Poppas has been very moved.
"Cheers! To our God-chosen champion! I wish Mr. Lan and Mr. Mei good health! Oh, and thank you to all the soldiers who are loyal to the country." He raised the beer glass and spoke in a serious and even playful tone.
This way, you can show your open-mindedness and unrestrainedness without being cold-hearted, and everything from your demeanor to your tone is completely natural, without any sense of design.
He just has this ability. He can be majestic when he should be majestic, making others feel that he is born to be superior to others. But if he wants to show his affinity, he can make others regard him as a friend who talks about everything in two minutes.
Just like that, Mr. Chairman took over the dining table from half a galaxy away, and everyone slowly let down their guard and started drinking from half a galaxy away.
It has to be said that when the villain in history really turned into a vivid image and appeared in front of him, it gave Yu Lian a deeper experience of the complexity of the human form. If nothing else, he is
I am really impressed by Mr. Keith Nichta's emotional intelligence.
Tantai Jing is fine. After all, this person is the head of the Spiritual Research Association and a disciple of the Martial God of the Community. In this universe, as long as politicians have normal IQs, they will definitely find ways to have a good relationship with psychic masters.
But Major Poppas was just an ordinary Marine officer, and he was not born into an elite bureaucratic group. Unless something big happened, his future would be as high as a colonel at most. Even so, Mr. Generalissimo did not neglect him at all. So, a few
As soon as the bottle of beer came down, the major was so moved. If Yu Lian hadn't secretly kicked him next to him, this guy would have stood up and said: "As long as the chairman of the committee has six lives, the subordinate officer can do anything."
.
Seeing that everyone's favorability towards him seemed to be very high, the Chairman calmed down his smile a little and said in a deep voice: "Yu Lian, do you know how many troops the country used in this exercise?
"
Yu Lian pondered for a moment, and then recited the numbers that he was already familiar with.
"There are four more Titans," the chairman added.
"Yes, there are indeed four Titans." Yu Lian nodded.
"Ahahahaha! Many people, including my colleagues on Earth who are above us, have no idea about the strength of the empire. We only had a small victory in the far shore nebula, and we really felt that we were invincible.
It's good now, this exercise is a demonstration of the empire's power, and I hope it can cure some people's childish disease."
Having said this, the Chairman took another sip of wine: "On Earth, most of my colleagues are idiots, but I still have to say good morning to them every day with a smiling face. Haha, the National Defense Committee was in Congress the day before yesterday
During a routine question, a member of parliament brought up the battle example of the Far Coast Nebula and said that since the power of the high-speed cruiser has been proven, it is better to cancel the battlecruiser shipbuilding plan, cancel the alliance's orders for several dreadnoughts, and make full efforts to imitate them.
This new type of cruiser. Haha, the golden lady from the public relations department of the New Venice Shipyard took a set of Chinese porcelain vases from the 10th century of the Earth's era to his country villa and stayed there for three days. Do you really think I don't know?"
Major Poppas began to feel restless again. He felt that he had heard too many heavyweight confidences that his life could not bear recently, and it was really unbearable at the moment.
The elder brother was very excited when he heard that. He seemed to think that these gossips were very useful for the development of the spiritual seminar, and he had the attitude of a true social person.
"This is really causing trouble for you!" Yu Lian apologized not very sincerely.
"This has nothing to do with you. As I said, I'm looking forward to the scale of the empire's exercises to scare these fools to death..." The chairman shook his hand and said with a helpless smile: "But, if I think about it more carefully, I think I
I’m about to pee! Yu Lian, tell me, the empire’s military strength in exercises alone exceeds our country’s entire mobilization. Once a war breaks out with the other side, can we win?”
Why are you asking me about this kind of thing? Are all the generals in the Military Command Headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters dead? Yu Lian said with a smile, "This is something I can say at will."
"Hey, you're a young man, why are you so oily at such a young age? Let's be brighter and brighter. Tell me, do we have any hope of winning?" the Chairman of the National Defense Committee said angrily.
"Only on our own?" Yu Lian asked.
"Yes, we only rely on our own strength." Chairman He drank a glass of wine and whispered: "We have no allies, we only rely on ourselves."
"It's very difficult, there is almost no chance." This is indeed the truth. Although Yu Lian was able to fool King Suliuka with a modified version of Teacher Li's "On Protracted War" at the banquet, he understood it too well.
What would the empire be like if its national strength were fully developed? He really felt that the only chance of victory was to establish a highly effective and disciplined team, widely mobilize the mass power within the community, and fight the empire for a long time
guerrilla warfare and security warfare. At the same time, we must also find ways to burn the flames of revolution into the empire itself, leaving them too busy to take care of themselves.
However, the premise of all this is that the community can really have an organization comparable to that group.
As for defeating the empire's army on the frontal battlefield...Old Tan, Teacher Yang and Wayne have actually done their best. Even if they add themselves, how much difference will they make?"
When he thought of this, Yu Lian's eyes couldn't help but become a little sad.
The chairman nodded clearly: "I understand. With our own strength, it is indeed difficult to defeat the empire head-on, so we need more friends. Brother Yu Lian, it is for this reason that you and Beren
Are you dating the eldest daughter of the Kester family? I understand your sacrifice and thank you for your hard work."
Do you understand? Do you understand a der? Do you understand?
"Mr. Case, Yani is a good girl. She and I hit it off right away and became very good friends. Other than that, it is all wanton hype by the unscrupulous media!"
"Brother understands what you are thinking. Thinking like this will make you feel better. I really understand." Nishita raised her glass to Yu Lian, expressed her gratitude sincerely, and then said: "But, I really do
I didn't expect that Major Fina Li is also such a good boy who understands justice. I understand your sacrifices and I am really grateful. Please tell Major Li that you don't need to pay too much attention to the situation here in the exercise and stay with me...ah
No, as long as we can better maintain the friendly relationship between us and the eldest lady of the Belenkeist family, this will be a great contribution to our country."
How come she understands the righteousness so well? In this short period of time, she eats with Yani every day, and can just take some videos and eat the luxury meal specially provided by the alliance with her. What exactly is she sacrificing?
At this time, Nihita changed the subject and said, "In any case, we have friends. Yu Lian, during this period, the military industry and shipbuilding departments have conducted a complete analysis of the results you have brought back."
The so-called achievements are, of course, those brought back from the Far Coast Nebula.
"We have thoroughly understood the structure and design ideas of the empire's new cruiser and can restore it... Well, it seems that some of the materials are not interesting, but we can find substitutes from the alliance and it can indeed be restored. Therefore, we have decided to imitate this kind of cruiser.
The cruiser was named the Far Shore class, and thirty-six ships were built in the first batch."
Although it is not a big deal, considering the consistent style of the Gungun princes of Earth, it can be regarded as a very courageous act.
Yu Lian felt very satisfied. Although the most valuable trophy, the miniaturized hyperspace generator, had been taken away by him, the remaining scraps could also bring some benefits to the compatriots on Earth, so it was naturally worth it.
proudly.
"As for the Unicorn-class aircraft carrier... it is still difficult to restore some core technologies. Therefore, we have decided to cooperate with the alliance and learn from some concepts of the Unicorn-class aircraft carrier to develop our country's next-generation heavy-duty aircraft carrier.
"
It’s really hopeless. Yu Lian curled his lips in his heart. He had already expected the decision-making level of the community, so he was not surprised, but he still wanted to curse.
If I can't recover immediately, I'll find a way to organize everyone to tackle the problem! If my hometown in my previous life was as hopeless as you, where would the two bombs, one star and the black ribbon come from?
Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Lian still had a smile on his face and nodded slightly: "I understand. Uh, but is it okay to tell this kind of military secret here?"
"What kind of military secret is this? Every time a new type of warship appears in the Empire and the Alliance, they wish they could publicize it at the drawing stage. I only told you three days in advance. There will be a special press conference in the next few days."
In short, this new aircraft carrier will absorb the advantages of the Unicorn class, but its size and tonnage will be more than twice that of the latter, reaching a record-breaking 4.2 million tons. This is already the level of a dreadnought.
This fearless-class aircraft carrier has been named the "Freedom Class" and has been designed by the Alliance's Fanguang Design Bureau. Once the drawings are completed, construction work will begin immediately and it will be equipped for the Alliance and the Community. Among them, the Community will be the first
Six ships will be built in batches, of which the first four will be built in the alliance. The other two will be completed domestically by the alliance under the guidance of the community after the technology matures.
If you add the twelve Dreadnoughts ordered from the Alliance...well, the Generalissimo's large-scale construction plan is really getting wilder. However, in the eyes of others, and even if you look at it without prejudice, it is true.
It is a brilliant political achievement.
However, before the glory mission exercise started, he made a special call to talk about this, but why?
