Chapter 694: The Cannon Sound of Lagu Xing
"Your Majesty, the Orioners have promised to assist us in our actions, and if there are no other changes, the plan will be carried out normally."
Su Yuren, the chief of imperial operations, knocked on the door and reported to Zhang Shusheng.
"Well, Yuren, sit."
Zhang Shusheng nodded, signaled that he knew, asked him to sit down, and continued to look through the information of Laguxing.
"In the eyes of the Orions, this is just a relatively backward planet with little strategic value, but for us, it is a treasure star."
Zhang Shusheng looked at Lagu Star on the electronic map with complicated eyes.
Although this Lagu Star ranks last in Ranke's domestic economic aggregate, its population size is not outstanding, and its scientific and technological level is also ranked last, it is a rare treasure star for the Empire.
First of all, the wealth it possesses is coveted by the entire empire, and according to the intelligence collected by Zhang Bing, the wealth that the rich people on this planet can "sponsor" is as much as billions of cosmic coins.
In other words, if all these people are scavenged, the strength of the empire can develop for many years.
In the era of interstellar civilization with class solidification and unusually large class power, these rich people are often treated with the highest treatment by the state, and their wealth is fully protected regardless of any form of government.
The rich are enjoying the best life, and at the same time, the Orion Alliance's loan of three billion cosmic coins is already a lot of money.
In Zhang Shusheng's view, if you look at it from the perspective of the poor, it is like the original 21st century, the world's top 50 richest people, each person's wealth is several times or even dozens of times compared to the military expenditure of a state act.
However, at that time, it was impossible for China to rob it, but now it is different, a lot of the wealth in the hands of these rich people is cosmic currency, as long as they can obtain cosmic currency, it is hard currency.
Ranke raised money in many ways, and he didn't dare to start with the rich, that was to consider the stability of the rule, but Zhang Shusheng didn't need to think about this problem, his goal was very clear, what he wanted was Laguxing's wealth, materials, mineral inventory, etc.
"How's our transport fleet ready?"
Zhang Shusheng raised his head and asked, it doesn't matter if you grab something, you have to be able to move it back, this is the most important thing.
"We have prepared more than 200 transport ships, large and small, and if necessary, the warships of the expeditionary fleet will also take turns to join in."
Su Yuren said, according to His Majesty's idea of emptying Lagu Star in one go, the empire has prepared a large number of transport ships this time, although there are only about a hundred of them that are real and large transport ships, but in order to empty Lagu Star, even some slower spaceships have gone into battle, for this reason, Zhang Shusheng also borrowed a batch of transport ships from Shusheng Company, Yawang and Yun Ya, all of which were piloted by smart brains and robots.
"Well, now that you've made your decision, you have to do it to the extreme. We will not forget that the people of Lagu have made such a great contribution to the empire, and when we liberate Ranke, the people of Lagu will enjoy a higher treatment than ordinary Rankers. ”
Zhang Shusheng will not be a woman's benevolence, the happiness of one party must be based on the pain of the other, just as the empire built warships, sold arms, and enjoyed the huge benefits brought by rapid development, the Rankers were undergoing fire and roasting over and over again.
As for pulling the Orions into the water to attract targets, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the operation, Zhang Shusheng did not dare to take such a huge risk, even if he dispatched an expeditionary fleet, he had to be absolutely sure that he would dare to empty a planet.
Because it is a border planet and has a backward economy, its military strength is not particularly strong, which also gives China an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Your Majesty, if this operation is successful, our capital planet Earth will soon be able to build into a true second-level civilization planet."
Su Yuren said with some expectation.
This often inconspicuous majesty will always have some particularly bold imagination, and the thinking jump surname is very strong, but many plans have been proven to have a viable surname.
"Haha, it's up to Songpo."
Zhang Shusheng's eyes looked into the distance, and the virtual screen in front of him flashed to the front line, and a huge fleet was setting sail.
"Target, Laguxing!"
…… Duchy of Rank, Ragu Star.
Laguxing, as the lowest-ranked planet of the Principality of Ranks, has not been cared for by the state, and the big families and warlords are in power, the rich enjoy a super-first-class life, and the middle-class and poor families enjoy a difficult life that can only barely survive.
The administrator of Laguxing was the Marquis of Doc.
"Lord Marquis, you don't have to worry at all, my reconnaissance ship told me that no suspicious ships have been found within 10 days of the speed of light in the vicinity.
After this return voyage, they will be dispatched again to carry out long-range vigilance missions. ”
The military commander of Laguxing is Vice Admiral Pengke, who not only commands a detachment of 20 battleships, but also commands more than 20,000 planetary defense guns on the planet.
If necessary, he can also take over the ships of the big families and the wealthy with a wartime military management policy.
"Intelligence indicates that the Orion fleet is infesting the border zone, and the probe also found the Chinese fleet roaming near the exit of the route before it is destroyed.
They're not going to join forces to attack Laguxing, are they? ”
Marquis Doc said worriedly, the perennial aristocratic life has made his weight reach an astonishing 330 catties, even after three gene treatments, it is only that his weight has not expanded to 400 catties, and the Marquis is too good to eat.
"The strategic value of our Lagu Star is too low, and the number of planetary defense main guns is particularly large, if it is not for a special purpose, the enemy will not come to attack.
Orion estimates what business they are doing with the Chinese, and the fleet is for escort.
Or maybe they are just passing by, compared to the Lagu Star, going to our Rank's internal star field is a line of defense, and going to the border of the Nok Business Alliance is the front line of our battle with Nok. ”
What Lieutenant General Peng Ke didn't say was that the strategic value of Laguxing was too small, and the enemy couldn't come here to touch the stones, but if the principality was finished, then Laguxing would definitely surrender.
The planetary defense cannon can defend against the enemy to fight the autumn wind, but it can't become the climate.
However, he knew very well how much the wealthy class of Lagu Star loved the more than 20,000 planetary defense cannons. He was also happy to do so, and helped his family's planet main gun factory sell more than 10,000 units, making a lot of money.
Therefore, he has been peddling the theory of the victory of the planet's main concoction to fool those wealthy classes, including the Marquis of Doc in front of him.
"That's good, that's good! General Peng, our nobles think that the planet needs more main guns, this year's military budget, I am ready to allocate another 1000 main guns, we should lay defenses on more satellites and asteroids, everything is hard general. ”
Marquis Doc mentioned the point, anyway, it doesn't matter if the enemy comes or not, the less coming is not enough for the main bombardment, too much, then you can surrender with peace of mind, this is the truest thought in his heart.
However, in his opinion, with 20,000 main guns, the enemy will definitely not be able to take it without five or six fleets.
"Hahaha, it's not hard, it's not hard, Lord Marquis works hard for the government affairs of the planet, how can General Ben not share his worries for adults."
Lieutenant General Peng Ke instantly laughed in his heart, and there were 1,000 main guns, which was enough to lay all the asteroids on the periphery, and his commission could reach seven or eight million cosmic coins.
In his opinion, the most important task of Laguxing is actually to defend against the harassment of small and medium-sized enemies, and according to the size of the standard fleet, unless it is five or six fleets, it will definitely pay a heavy price to take Laguxing.
If there are five or six fleets attacking Laguxing, then the question is simpler, surrender directly.
Therefore, reconnaissance of the enemy is just a routine, the Chinese are not in their eyes, although the Orions are annoying, but they also know the hard bone of Laguxing.
Back in his luxurious park town-style apartment, Lieutenant General Penco used encrypted communication to contact his father.
"Father, I got another purchase order for the main guns, which is the annual procurement task of 1,000 main guns, and the replacement and maintenance procurement are not included."
On the other end of the communication, a middle-aged old man in good spirits couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard the news.
"Hahaha, Peng Ke did a good job, I think it's suitable to support you to take another step."
"Father, isn't it good now? If I go one step further, I will have to be the commander of the fleet and go to the front. ”
Vice Admiral Peng Ke said with some puzzlement, according to the convention, the admiral promoted from the military chief of the planet will generally serve as the commander of the new fleet, or go to the front line to serve as the deputy of the main fleet.
"The people of Longshan are about to make a big move, if you can't catch this opportunity, you may never be able to enter the political stage of Rank, I told Vice Minister Rongchen that I will find an opportunity to recommend you as the commander of the new fleet.
You must know that we are the first family to be loyal to the Rong family, we have such privileges, and your position is particularly suitable. ”
The old man said happily that Peng Ke's performance in Laguxing was too good, a remote and poor Laguxing, originally thought that there was no chance to perform.
Unexpectedly, the youngest son directly fooled those timid nobles who were afraid of death, and took advantage of the fact of the crisis far away from Rank's hinterland to let them purchase a large number of planetary defense main guns, and as a result, it was now the second-to-last planet in the economy of Lagu Star, excluding military fortresses, but the number of main guns ranked third in the whole Frank Principality, only lower than Ranke and another strategic planet.
"Yes, Father, I will definitely redouble my efforts."
However, Lieutenant General Penko's mood did not last long, and only two weeks later, he was awakened by the shrill sirens in his bed.
"Boom !!"
Almost immediately, a series of explosions shook the earth, and the intensity of the explosion made a terrible fact flash in Pengke's mind: Laguxing had been attacked by the enemy.
