Volume III Scarlet 537 Fleet Preparation IV

Why do you say that? Because our army no longer has a more powerful battleship than the Horned Dragon, the corps level is almost the limit of the current Zodiac Fleet's establishment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"An army equipped with a Horned-class battleship or a more powerful battleship or type of ship than a Horned-class battleship......"

When I mentioned this, both Siegel and Packeret couldn't help but show thoughtful looks, and when they thought of the group army-level establishment I mentioned, and when they thought about the words I mentioned now, they couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces, and they vaguely understood what I meant.

"The 2nd Division is equipped with two Horned Dragon-class battleships, the 4th Brigade is equipped with four Younglong-class heavy cruisers, Liuqu is equipped with six Younglong-class heavy cruisers, and 30 Tun is equipped with 30 Child-Dragon-class light cruisers. Therefore, a military establishment is equipped with a total of three Horned-class battleships, 10 Young-Dragon-class heavy cruisers, and 30 Child-class light cruisers, carrying 5,000 men and 300 mobile suits. ”

The military-level configuration is designed by me after careful consideration, fully considering the national conditions of the zodiac and the current funds of each family.

Its combat effectiveness is undoubtedly quite formidable. Although it may not seem to be much different from the military establishment of the earth, in fact, the military establishment with three battleships, ten heavy cruisers, and thirty light cruisers is at least twice as strong as the standard military establishment of the countries of the earth. And the reason why I say that I have fully considered the national conditions of the zodiac is because the current zodiac has not begun to produce battleships, so naturally I don't know how long it will take for the fleets of various families to complete the installation of battleships.

Battleships are very expensive to build, so they don't have the possibility of widespread installation, so they can only be used as a key piece of the killer weapon. There is no doubt that the total number of battleships equipped with the military-class establishment of three is almost the limit of what each family can equip at present...... As far as Yitzhak mentioned to me, the cost of developing the Ceratosaurus-class battleship is currently close to 20 billion.

And this is just the development cost, the actual manufacturing cost should be slightly lower than it, so its manufacturing cost should be stable between 16 billion and 18 billion.

Of course, if it is sold to various families at cost price, the Jiuer family will not have to make money, so in fact, although the manufacturing cost may only be 16 billion, the actual selling price should be inclined to the standard of all countries on the earth, that is, between 38 billion and 45 billion. Of course, this price should be lowering a little, after all, if all the families are competing to buy, the Jiuer family must need a discount, well, it's eight points off, what do you think? laugh......

After hearing that I finished talking about the general-level establishment, Pacritt's expression couldn't help but become serious, and his right hand was unconsciously bent, tapping lightly on the table, and the crisp sound kept coming from the speaker, making us all silent for a while.

This is Pakrit's habitual movement when he thinks deeply, and Siegel has been with Packeret for so many years, and he is very clear about his habitual movements, so when he saw that I seemed to want to say something, he gently raised his palm to me, and shook it slightly, signaling me not to speak for a while.

Seeing Siegel's gesture, I naturally nodded with a clear expression.

Lowered her head and glanced at Lux, who was still very bored at this time and gently shook her little feet hidden under the coffee table, her crystal clear, white skin like white jade, which looked quite shiny under the light, and people couldn't help but have a desire to play with it in the applause.

Seeing Lux's cute little feet, I naturally had the desire to play as mentioned above, but I didn't take action, but after smiling faintly, I stretched out my hand and picked up the teacup that was filled up on the table, and drank it slowly.

At this moment, Pakritt stopped tapping his index finger on the table, but he didn't speak, just opened the information on the table, and after a careful look, he read it aloud: "The group army has jurisdiction over the Second Army, the Fifth Division, the Eighth Brigade, the Tenth Qu, and the Sixty Tun, with the rank of commander and the rank of general and the rank of deputy commander and major general." In total, it was equipped with seven battleships, twenty heavy cruisers, and sixty light cruisers, carrying 11,820 men and 600 mobile suit ......"

When he said this, Pacritt paused, then glanced at me with a smile on his face, and then sighed: "With the current economic situation of each family, at most, it can only be armed with a military-level establishment, and as for the group-level configuration, I am afraid it is impossible to be armed." If you look at it this way, why do you want to set up this group army-level configuration?"

At this point, when Parklit read aloud the group-level configuration, Siegel couldn't help but look at me with a puzzled expression.

Their doubts were not difficult to answer, and after I smiled calmly, I said in harmony: "The combat effectiveness of the military level is not much different from the group army level of the countries on the earth, and it is not a big problem to defeat the group army level of the countries on the earth...... And the reason why I set up the establishment of the group army level is actually just to give us an impetus. Think about it, the actual combat effectiveness of a group army-level establishment is almost twice or even more than three times that of the army-level establishment, and as soon as the army-level establishment touches the group army establishment, it will almost only be completely annihilated......

"If the various families of the zodiac have the capital to form a group army-level establishment, then it is entirely possible that they will do so...... And once successfully formed, then the commander of this fleet will undoubtedly receive the rank of admiral. Although the military rank does not mean anything, after all, whether it is the position of Speaker of the National Assembly or the Chairman of the National Defense Committee, his military rank is at the rank of general. But sometimes people are so vain, for the sake of a mere reputation, they will do their best...... Therefore, in the final analysis, the purpose of my design of this organization is actually only to strengthen the military strength of my ecliptic. ”

"Once it is done well, then the military strength of my zodiac will undoubtedly be greatly improved...... However, as Uncle Pakritt said, at present, the various families do not have the capital to set up a group army. But the future may not be clear...... Isn't it?"

My unhurried explanation made both Pacritt and Siegel nod their heads.

As I said, people sometimes live for the sake of face and breath, and if someone really sets up a fleet at the level of a group army, then giving a general rank is a completely inconsequential matter. As for whether it is possible to grasp the strength of this group army, ha...... Neither Pakritt nor Siegel were worried about this, because with the current strength of the Klein faction, it was undoubtedly a difficult but impossible task to form an army-level fleet.

Therefore, even if the other families really form a group arm-level fleet, they will have to obey the deployment of the National Defense Committee in the face of the pressure from my Klein faction......
