Volume I, Chapter 40 of Childhood, proposed

Warm and happy times are always short-lived, and when we recovered from this intoxicating emotion, Siegel, who had wiped all the tears away, sighed a little and sighed about our good intentions, and then turned the topic back to how to 'prevent' the countries of the Council. I only heard him say in a deep voice full of magnetism www.biquge.info "Qi, my father and I are very touched by your efforts, but then again, how do you plan to prevent the countries of the Council?"

Hearing this, I smiled and replied, "I talked about a bunch of needs before, but in fact, it can be summed up as nothing more than two aspects. One of them is military technology, which I have already started to work on. In fact, in addition to virtual reality, I have drafted another technology, but at the moment it is still in the hypothetical stage and it is not yet known how it will actually work. If the research and development can be completed and the desired effect can be achieved, then the result of this technology is likely to have the ability to annihilate the Möbius with a single aircraft, well, even heavy damage to the battleship is possible. However, the technical difficulty is too high, and if we do not cooperate with other research institutes, I am afraid that it will take a long time to develop. ”

Hearing me say this, Siegel was immediately interested, the beard on his lips shook slightly, and he opened his mouth to ask: "What kind of technology is this, it can be comparable to Mobius, and it is even possible to severely damage the battleship?" I smiled on my face, and did not answer Siegel's question directly, but avoided the important and said: "When it really has the possibility of realization, I will definitely present you with a report on this technology, father." ”

Hearing me say this, Siegel was still curious, but he knew that this technology was not yet possible. After all, once I get his support and invest unlimited funds, manpower, and resources, the benefits of developing this technology are indescribable, and it will definitely play a great role in promoting the progress of research and development.

"So to get back to the point, in addition to the preventive measure of developing military science and technology, another preventive measure is to build an army to defend against counterattacks. Father, I think you should also know the current military strength of the Zodiac League, I wonder if you can tell me what level and level of armament the Zodiac League has?"

Siegel smiled at me when he saw me staring at him curiously, and then with the dull sound of his finger bones tapping lightly on the armrest of the couch, Siegel pondered, apparently remembering the military power that the Zodiac Alliance currently possessed.

Seeing this, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, "How much does my father usually not pay attention to the military development of the Zodiac Alliance, and he still needs to think about it for so long......" As soon as I thought of this, Sig suddenly spoke: "At present, the armed forces controlled by the Zodiac Alliance are the police department under the Supreme Council of the Plant, and the independent fleet of the Zodiac Alliance, which is funded by our family and commanded by the Sara family. I think you know a thing or two about the police department, so I won't go into detail here. As for the Zodiac Alliance Independent Fleet, I don't think you know much about it, so I'll tell you about it. ”

"First of all, the original purpose of the establishment of this fleet is to maintain and expand the influence of our Zodiac Alliance in the universe, and secondly, it is also equivalent to the regular maintenance and cleaning of the fleet of the twelve major families of transportation routes and special routes. The reason why our fleet will serve the other families is because the establishment of this fleet is the result of the joint efforts of our twelve major families, so we naturally need to do this in return. ”

At first, I did not understand it, but it was not because our fleet served other families, but because the fleet could actually be built. It was only after hearing Siegel's later explanation that I knew why...... Behind the twelve great families are actually the shadows of certain forces in various countries, and if they do exert their influence, it is still possible to establish a fleet under the noses of the countries of the Council, because this is the result of mutual compromise between various forces.

"This fleet has a total of 10 Deshasui-class frigates, 6 Gersk-class destroyers, 2 Gerjd-class cruisers, and 1 Nikosius-class battleship, and I don't know the specific information about the battleships. The fleet wasn't loaded with Möbius, which was the result of a compromise, but it was more than enough to clear the shipping lanes, escort ships, and send off space pirates, after all, the fleet had a battleship. ”

Speaking of the latter, Siegel was quite proud, but listening to it in my ears made me feel like I couldn't cry or laugh. I estimate that the price of these warships is enough for the countries of the Council to buy another fleet of the same configuration and number as this fleet -- the reason is very simple, it is one thing to agree that you will build a fleet, and it is another thing whether you can buy warships or not. But since Siegel didn't mention it, I naturally won't bring up this topic in a boring way, after all, the money for this fleet is from our family, although I don't know how much of our family's money is the total amount.

"The commander of this fleet is Hobe Gleason, he was born in the Eurasian Federation, and later served as the fleet commander of the third independent fleet of the Eurasian Federation Aerospace Force because of his outstanding fleet command ability, but unfortunately the persecution of our adjusters by natural people is too serious, and finally Hobb, who can't stay in the Eurasian Federation, was moved and hired by Packerit, so he took up the position of fleet commander of our independent fleet of the Zodiac Alliance. His personality and talent are of the highest standard, but it is a pity that the size of our fleet is not up to the standard configuration of an independent fleet of the countries of the Council, otherwise we will be able to fully exert his ability. ”

Seriously, the configuration of the independent fleet of the Zodiac Alliance is already very good, although it does not reach the number of ships of the independent fleet of the countries of the Council, but it is only slightly weaker. Of course, this is only a comparison with the independent fleets of the countries of the Council, if it is compared with the group fleets of the countries of the Council...... Think about it or forget it, this combat power is not of an order of magnitude at all.

Compared with the countries of the Council, the combat effectiveness of the Zodiac Alliance Independent Fleet is a little weaker (even the combat effectiveness level of the standard independent fleet is not up to the level), but compared to the space fleet of the space pirates or space mercenaries who are circulating in various Grand points, it can be called a luxurious configuration, after all, this fleet also has a big killer weapon of the cosmic age - a battleship!

"You probably understand what I mean, don't you?" said Siegel as he reached out and picked up the delicate porcelain cup that had been filled with pink milk tea by Lux from the coffee table, he took a sip, and when I nodded to show that I understood, he continued, "So...... Now it's up to you. Hearing this, I nodded again, but I didn't rush to speak, because I didn't expect the Zodiac Alliance to have a space fleet beforehand, although I had heard that the Sara family had a space fleet.

"I can't give any opinion on the fleet, after all, I don't know much about warships or anything yet......"

I'm telling the truth, in my previous life, although the world had partially entered the space age, most of the human beings still lived on Earth, well, to put it simply, there were no towns such as the lunar city of 'Copernicus', and some were at most military bases.

"However, I personally think that it is best for our family to build a fleet that belongs to our family, after all, the power in the hands of others is only someone else's in the end, even if you put in a thousand times the effort. Therefore, I hope that you will pay attention to the matter of building a fleet for the family, father. Of course, I also know that the family may not have suitable flight attendants, but these can be trained, after all, warships cannot be built in a moment, so I hope that my father can secretly order some warships to form a fleet that belongs to our family. ”

Siegel nodded noncommittally to my suggestion, and motioned for me to move on to something else.

"That's all for the fleet, but for the army...... The Zodiac does not currently have any military units on staff, and is only a police department attached to the Supreme Council of the Plant. Taking into account the military personnel that may be needed in the future, I think that the father should come forward and propose the creation of a specialized academy specializing in military education. ”

Hearing this, Siegel couldn't help but be stunned, and then he laughed in the inexplicable eyes of me and Lux, very happy. Lux and I were full of doubts, and I really couldn't understand why Siegel suddenly laughed, but Siegel obviously had no intention of selling off, and after laughing for a while, he said bluntly: "Pakritt also talked to me about establishing a professional military academy, but that was two years ago......

"Two years ago, Pacritt proposed to me to establish a military academy, but at that time, the 'cosmic joint force' composed of the three major powers of the Council had just entered the surrounding universe of the plant, and I was worried that the establishment of a professional military academy would stimulate the nerves of the three council members and cause further oppression, so I rejected Pacritt's proposal. Packeret knew this very well, so I refused and didn't mention it again. Of course, the so-called one time and another...... Just last year, before you and Lux knew each other, the Council had intensified its oppression of the Plant, allowing it to evolve into a source of energy and industrial products to the planet. ”

"Unfortunately, Packeret and I were busy promoting the Zodiac Alliance, so neither of us thought of establishing a professional military academy...... But listening to you today, I think this may be the right time. Speaking of this, Siegel suddenly paused, he seemed to have the intention of examining me, looked at me with a little inquiring in his eyes, and asked: "Qi, on what basis did you mention the establishment of a professional military academy?"
