Chapter 223: Compromise and Competition

After listening to Zhang Hai's objective analysis, the first mate Wang Kang nodded approvingly, and said: "Yes, it seems that after two battles in the Autumn Leaves Star Domain and the Iron Claw Security Group army, our Sixth Task Force has also gained a lot. After listening to Wang Kang's expectations for the future, Zhang Hai smiled and said: Well, after all, what I have worked hard for is valuable and reliable, you must know that the titles of our Kunlong Empire are all based on the real talents of professionals from all walks of life, and just this alone, the titles of those royal and aristocratic members of the Orca Empire are too watery. When he heard Zhang Hai mention the question of the professional level of the personnel of the Orca Empire, Wang Kang also nodded, and said: Have you read the report of the regiment headquarters on the prisoners after this encounter?

After hearing Wang Kang's question, I saw Zhang Hai say without thinking: I didn't look carefully, I glanced at it casually, what's wrong? After Zhang Hai made this answer, I saw Wang Kang smile quite profoundly, and said: I carefully read the detailed report of the regiment headquarters on the captive personnel, and found that among the prisoners of the 805th Brigade, the royal family and noble members of the Orca Empire basically served as commanders on various starships, and they were basically large and medium-sized starships, and the brigade commander of the 805th Brigade, Brigadier General Charles, was born in a large aristocratic group within the Orca Empire. Earlier, you said that after this defeat, the Orca Empire may try its best to adjust the tactical system of the army, but I think that there is nothing more difficult than moving the interests of these royal families and great nobles.

Maybe after some tossing, the Orca Empire's army will indeed be topped up a little, but I don't think the actual combat power of their army can be high at all, because the royal family and nobles of the Orca Empire cannot tolerate the loss of control over their army, so it is natural that the members of the royal family and nobles will continue to occupy various prominent positions in the Orca Empire's army, and this situation remains unchanged, and the personnel rights within the Orca Empire's army will still be privately granted by its royal family and nobles. Turning into a tool for cronyism and encircling interest groups, with this kind of sweetness, it is impossible for the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Orca Empire's army to completely climb up.

After Wang Kang finished speaking, Zhang Hai nodded slightly, and sighed: Inertia and comfort zone are two things, but it is not that they can be changed immediately if they are gotten rid of, how can there be such an easy thing, I think, unless our Kunlong Empire has comprehensively defeated the Orca Empire's army, otherwise the situation of the royal family and noble members of the Orca Empire stealing high positions is unlikely to change.

Just six hours after Wang Kang and Zhang Hai's duty time had passed, the starship cluster of the Sixth Task Force had finally been repaired under the careful care of the logistics department personnel of the Huben Security Company, and then the personnel of the logistics department on the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier also returned to the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier after handling the first and last matters. At this time, Zhang Hai noticed that at this time, the combat software and hardware of many departments on the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier had been supplemented with a lot of new things, and after discovering this situation, Zhang Hai hurriedly pulled Wang Kang to study some new guys on the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier.

In Zhang Hai's eyes, what attracted his attention the most, of course, was the armor module and the short-range air defense interception module on the newly upgraded mecha of the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion, and Wang Kang was most interested in the small-scale hardware update of the Lucky Cat's integrated weapon system, and the first thing that made Wang Kang happy was that the heavy missile had undergone a large-scale reloading. Moreover, the Lucky Cat's fighter cluster has also strengthened the power system, which means that the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier fighter cluster will fly faster in the future, and it will be more difficult to be targeted and attacked by the enemy's destroyer group.

At the same time, a small change has also been made to the ground thruster of the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier, adding a short-range acceleration module, which can make the short-range tactical maneuver of the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier more flexible. Just when Zhang Hai and Wang Kang were immersed in the novelty brought by the maintenance and repair of the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier, time also passed minute by minute, in Zhang Hai and Wang Kang's perception, it didn't seem to be long, the Lucky Cat Aircraft Carrier Command Room was already bright outside the porthole, of course, I noticed this because the staff in the canteen sent breakfast, through the second mate He Hai on duty The third officer Cheng Yuan reminded, Zhang Hai and Wang Kang were separated from the intoxication of exploring the various new system modules of the Lucky Cat, and ate breakfast in a good mood.

And an hour later, Captain Feng Qi, Sailor Battalion Deputy Zhang Heng and Captain He Suji came to change shifts on time, so, with a little reluctance to the new toys and new modules, Zhang Hai and Wang Kang dispersed to rest, while the other three took over the command of Zhang Hai and Wang Kang, and also explored the new combat modules on the Lucky Cat aircraft carrier with high interest.

After Task Force 6 inflicted a devastating blow on the 805th Brigade during the Akiba Star Domain's encounter, all of Task Force 6's starships took a break in the dedicated ground airfield of the Cloud Sea Star Domain's Embassy in Haipu. During this period of time, as if due to the butterfly effect caused by the 6th Task Force's public defeat of the 805th Brigade of the Iron Claw Security Group, with the 23rd Army of the Kunlong Empire openly stationed in the territory of the Yuanyu Empire, the relationship between the small and medium-sized empires that were previously vassal of the Orca Empire and the Orca Empire began to suddenly become cloudy.

First of all, the Yuanyu Empire, which originally maintained a groveling attitude towards the Orca Empire, first issued a series of measures to increase taxes on the Orca Empire's goods, and unsurprisingly triggered a strong warning from the Orca Empire to the Yuanyu Empire, and then the Orca Empire was ready to mobilize the Orca Empire's Royal 6th Legion stationed in the Yuanyu Empire to put pressure on the Yuanyu Empire, but it didn't work, because just when the Orca Empire's Royal 6th Legion was about to leave, it was already blocked by the 23rd Legion of the Kunlong Empire stationed in the Yuanyu Empire.

And when the two armies were facing each other, the two neighboring countries around the Yuanyu Empire, the Gongji Empire and the Taikai Empire, also announced a tax increase on the goods of the Orca Empire, and also caused a change in the Orca Empire's garrisons in the Gongji Empire and the Taikai Empire, and it was not surprising that the 22nd Legion and the 20th Legion of the Kunlong Empire stationed in the Gongji Empire and the Taikai Empire also blocked the passage of the Royal Legions of the Orca Empire stationed in these two countries, and triggered an armed confrontation. Judging from these signs, it seems that a large-scale conflict between the Orca Empire and the Kunlong Empire is about to break out.

I don't know if it was influenced by the previous three empires or in a herd mentality, after the Gongji Empire, the Yuanyu Empire and the Taikai Empire publicly announced the tax increase on the goods of the Orca Empire, other small and medium-sized empires around the Orca Empire have more or less begun to raise the tax rate of their empires on the goods of the Orca Empire, and what happened with these things, as well as the various armies of the Kunlong Empire have settled in these small and medium-sized empires around the Orca Empire, so within these small and medium-sized empires around the Orca Empire, It formed a strange scene of the original garrison of the Orca Empire and the newly settled army of the Kunlong Empire facing each other equally.

In contrast to this seemingly tense military confrontation was the frequent and frequent friendly diplomatic meetings between the Orca Empire and the Kunlong Empire. And just half a month after the 6th Task Force defeated the 805th Brigade, an explosive news was revealed, the specific content was that after many negotiations between the Kunlong Empire and the Orca Empire, the Kunlong Empire finally agreed to release the captured soldiers of the 805th Brigade of the Killer Whale Empire's Iron Claw Security Group, but none of the starships of the 805th Brigade were returned.

Just after the news of the release of the soldiers of the 805th Brigade of the Ironclaw Security Group of the Killer Whale Empire was announced, as expected, it immediately aroused discussion among almost all empires in the known universe, and the Kunlong Empire and the Orca Empire, which were at the center of the whirlpool of events, began to refuse to make more comments after releasing this brief news of the release of the captives.
