Chapter 681: The Great Expansion of the Army
The Chinese Empire, the Imperial Harbaroque warship factory in orbit around the moon.
"Cheer me up, double-check our equipment, and there must be no problems. Today is the time for our new battleships to cut the ribbon and enter service, and even His Majesty will visit the Habaroque battleship factory. ”
Above the Hackoque Battleship Factory, a small spaceship belonging to the Imperial Propaganda Department was flying back and forth, taking a full picture of the huge battleship factory.
At this time, in the live broadcast room on the spacecraft, the host was standing in front of the landing porthole, pointing to the huge battleship factory in the orbit around the moon outside, and introduced: "Audience friends, good evening, welcome to the 445th episode of Imperial Glory, today we will lead you to the Harbaroque battleship factory to enjoy the commissioning ceremony of my country's new battleship."
The Habaroque warship factory you see now is a multi-purpose warship production plant built four years ago, that is, in 1953, with a huge investment from the Empire.
After four years of development, the factory has formed an annual production capacity of nearly 10 large battleships, and the length of the entire plant is more than 30 kilometers......"
Immediately, her fingers swiped in front of her, and a 3D image popped up, with some images of battleships on it.
"What you see now are several major warships produced by battleship factories, this is a patrol ship, this is a destroyer, this is a cruiser......"
As the spacecraft flew directly above the factory, the host began to focus the camera on the factory, and viewers across the country could see the huge factory that stretched between the moon and the live spacecraft.
In a flash, there are multiple giant objects in the factory, which according to the introduction, are warships in production, countless engineering ships, huge assembly platforms, and some space supporting factories...... Everything in front of him, the imperial audience is not the first time to see it, when the factory was just established, Zhang Shusheng came to cut the ribbon, and the national audience saw it once.
However, at that time, the factory was still very small, and there were almost no supporting facilities, only one main factory group of about ten kilometers, and now it is good, after four years of development, Zhang Shusheng has continuously invested in capital and technology, and some large-scale equipment that has just been purchased is also placed in place, which is particularly magnificent.
Later, Imperial Television also invited a military lieutenant colonel to help warm up the show, and about half an hour later, the host said: "Audience friends, we are very happy to inform you that the battleship's induction ceremony is about to begin, and the latest news is that our great emperor His Majesty will also participate in the induction ceremony. ”
"Yes, and His Majesty will announce a major military decision this time."
The lieutenant colonel also added that these were just news from the Imperial Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Defense.
Soon, the camera began to stretch indefinitely, aiming directly at the battleship factory below, and the super wide-angle lens was also aimed at the lunar base, and according to the notice, the fleet would come from the lunar port in that direction.
The military did not delay, and at the moment of notification, a battleship began to come into view of the cameras.
"Audience friends, a battleship is heading towards us, let's guess if this battleship is His Majesty's ship?"
"Hey, there's another one."
As soon as the beautiful host's words fell, another behemoth came into view, and it was just accelerated out of the moon.
"Lieutenant Colonel Li Tian, aren't our battleships fighting the enemy on the front line? Now that 2 battleships have suddenly appeared, it seems that the empire still has a strong strategic reserve force, right? ”
"This may be another surprise from His Majesty."
Li Tian saw the two battleships with unfamiliar numbers, but his heart moved, a few days ago at the internal meeting reported that His Majesty had bought back a batch of battleships from aliens, it seems that this is it.
However, the cheers of the audience did not stop, and another battleship came into view.
And then, one and another, and one ...... "Oh my God, what did we see......
At this time, even the beautiful host was stunned, and the increased battleships on the screen seemed to be coming from the moon in a steady stream, first one, and then soon to ten, and when people thought it would be over, ten, ten...... In the dazzled eyes of the audience, a full 105 battleships sailed into the field of vision and began to form a triangular three-dimensional phalanx in space, and a large area of the starry sky on the screen was occupied by more than 100 battleships.
The 100 battleships slowly drove towards the factory, and it was discovered that in the middle of the triangular phalanx of battleships was a battleship marked with the Royal Ship.
"That's the Royal Throne!"
The host excitedly introduced that from the daily news reports, people can know that the Zhonghua is still fighting on the front line, and His Majesty has sent its own flagship, which is also the most powerful battleship in the Empire.
At this time, in the fleet, Zhang Shusheng was ready.
"Your Majesty, it's ready."
Cai Ye said to Zhang Shusheng, who was wearing the emperor's uniform on the side.
This Emperor's uniform is actually a black Space Force uniform embroidered with a golden dragon, and there is no marshal epaulettes, but a crown epaulette, which is not made of gold, but of something called energy gold.
Energy Gold is an extremely rare metal in Energy Ore, and the energy released by two epaulette-sized Energy Gold is equivalent to the standard energy block loaded on a standard G-type transport ship.
"Okay."
Zhang Shusheng took the army expansion plan in his hand and strode towards the porthole.
At this time, from the perspective of the audience and space, the fleet just stopped at the gate of the Habaroque battleship factory, however, Zhang Shusheng's ship did not enter the factory, but stopped there.
In front of the fleet was a huge platform, extending from the factory, on which a shield was opened, and hundreds of thousands of workers and crews were seated, and opposite them were a mountain of warships.
Zhang Shusheng's ship stopped there, the porthole slowly opened, Zhang Shusheng walked out of the battleship so calmly, the viewing platform of the factory and the battleship just docked, Zhang Shusheng stood on the high platform outside the battleship, facing nearly 100,000 workers and staff, officers and soldiers, and the audience in front of the TV, ready to speak.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Shusheng also adopted some kind of advanced means of protection, but only a few people know that Zhang Shusheng did not wear any protective equipment, which is also a manifestation of the development of civilization in the body to an extremely high point, and when personal cultivation breaks through to a stellar master, he can survive in space without relying on external forces.
As soon as Zhang Shusheng appeared, the ten small spaceships on the side fired low-energy salutes at the starry sky, a total of 99 rounds, endlessly, illuminating the entire starry sky.
"Subjects of the Empire,
Hello everyone, first of all, I'm glad to see you all again, the last time I appeared on the screen was a year ago, and I am personally very happy that I didn't take up everyone's time to watch TV dramas during this year.
As we all know, we are at war with the Rankers on the front lines, but what you may not know is that the entire southwestern star field of the galaxy is currently in chaos, and the clouds of war are thick.
Compared with the clouds of war on the eve of World War I and World War II, this time it will be a war that has swept countless countries, countless planets, and hundreds of millions of people, and this war has not been encountered for thousands of years.
Looking back at the whole of last year, we destroyed 11 battleships, 20 cruisers, and many transports of the Rankers, and our losses were negligible.
We were able to achieve this result for two reasons, the first of which is that we have excellent commanders and thousands of good officers and men of warships. Secondly, we have warships that are no worse than the enemy, and even stronger than the enemy.
With the idea of fighting guerrilla warfare, we destroyed 31 of the enemy's main warships in the course of one year, creating asymmetrical results between small and large countries.
Of course, guerrilla warfare in space does not bring us victory at the strategic level, so we need to build a stronger fleet.
Now, let's welcome five of our new battleships, which I'll cut the ribbon with General Manager Hatton of the Harbaroque Warship Factory. ”
Soon, Hatton, who was wearing a simple space protective suit, came to Zhang Shusheng.
Zhang Shusheng faced the camera and said with a smile, "Since it is a ribbon cutting, let us welcome Mr. Cai Yi, the deputy minister of the emperor's affairs, again." ”
Cai Ye was on Zhang Shusheng's ship at this time, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the sudden shouting, he didn't expect Zhang Shusheng to let him participate in the ribbon cutting, although he was the deputy minister of military affairs, but he had not yet reached such a high level of real power.
But Zhang Shusheng said it himself, he could only put on protective clothing and go out.
So, the three of them worked together to prepare to cut the ribbon.
From time to time, five huge battleships flew in from the airspace of the plant's spaceport.
"Lieutenant Colonel Li Tian, this, why are these warships so huge, each one is as huge as the Zhonghua."
At this time, both the host and Lieutenant Colonel Li Tian were stunned, on the screen, each of the five giants was 3,000 meters long, and the murderous starry sky was coming, and then gradually stopped on the side of the platform and the ship group, waiting for review.
Zhang Shusheng said at this time: "The five battleships you see now are the latest battleships produced by our empire, the Shenlong-class battleships and the Tianlong-class battleships. ”
Sure enough, as the battleship approached, everyone saw clearly that there were two battleships with five-clawed golden dragons on them, and the other three battleships had the three-clawed golden dragon logo on them.
"As the Empire is currently facing a severe war situation, and a major war is imminent, we must equip more battleships in order to defend our homeland and defend the Lost Star Field.
Therefore, I announce that the Empire will carry out a second expansion of the Space Force.
Two Shenlong-class battleships will join the First Fleet and the soon-to-be-formed Second Fleet, respectively. Three Tenryu-class battleships will join the Guards Fleet, led by the Zhonghua.
These 105 battleships behind me, everyone has also seen them.
In addition to the five of these battleships, which are old battleships, the other 30 are the ones we just ordered from the alien allies, and the other 70 are the ships that the allies have replaced to support us.
Over the next year or two, these 100 battleships will gradually join the First and Second Fleets.
It must be noted that I have decided that the Second Fleet will be held by the Vice Minister of Imperial Affairs General Cai Yi, and now, let's review our Second Fleet together! ”
As a result, the citizens of the three planets saw the most enthusiastic and exciting moment in the past four years, when hundreds of battleships held a military parade in space on behalf of the Second Fleet.
The empire also officially has two main fleets with quite good strength from this moment, not only military and political personnel, but even ordinary people have smelled the smell of war, the empire has taken precautions, it seems that His Majesty said that a big battle is just around the corner.
