"At today's meeting, we are going to discuss how to combat smuggling, so please speak freely." Liu Yi said to everyone in the conference room.

This was a meeting specially convened by Liu Yi to discuss the anti-smuggling plan, and since this plan involved many departments, Liu Yi had to involve each department.

In addition to all the military officers who attended the meeting, there were also key forces from various departments who also attended the meeting, and although Shangguanqi and others were not soldiers, they also attended as observers.

The first to speak was Che Kuang, the fleet commander in charge of military operations, who, as the head of the fleet, was in charge of not only the various ships of the fortress, but also the landing troops.

Therefore, Che Kuang must be the one who rushed to the forefront of the anti-smuggling operation, and his opinion has a decisive weight in the whole plan.

"I have no problem with cracking down on smuggling, but at the moment we are understaffed and have limited ships, so it is unrealistic to cover the entire airspace, so I think we should focus on the main routes." Che Kuang said unhurriedly.

Liu Yi looked at Che Kuang and saw that he didn't have any expression on his face, obviously not very enthusiastic about the anti-smuggling matter, just treating it as a daily job.

However, it is no wonder that the traffic is empty, the current conditions of the fortress are like this, and in order to expand the intensity of the fight against smuggling, it is necessary to increase investment in all aspects, and the Ministry of Defense obviously has no such plan.

Che Kuang's speech did not cause much repercussions, the fortress has been like this all these years, and the officers who served here have long been accustomed to it.

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Che is right, do the others have any good suggestions?" ”

As he spoke, Liu Yi's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and most of them had an attitude of not caring about themselves.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Yi had to say it himself: "Since everyone has no good suggestions for a while, then let me say a few words." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yi deliberately paused to see if anyone could hear his voice and take the initiative to express his opinion. However, the room was still silent, and no one was about to open their mouths to break the ice.

In desperation, Liu Yi could only continue: "I have learned some relevant information in advance, there are a lot of ships engaged in smuggling in this area, and with our current capabilities, it is indeed difficult to comprehensively crack down. Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Che's opinion is right, and he must strike at it in a focused manner, otherwise he will only be exhausted. ”

As he spoke, Liu Yi turned on the holographic projection, pointed to the airspace map in the projection and said: "The airspace we are responsible for is so large, and there are a large number of asteroids in between, the situation is very complicated, in addition to the many known routes, there must be a lot of hidden routes that we don't know, only strike on some of them, the effect will not be too good." ”

When Liu Yi said this, Che Kuang's face showed a look of disdain, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Liu Yi's statement. Liu Yi saw these small movements of Che Kuang, but he was too lazy to bother with him.

"I think we should adjust our previous strategy, and instead of only fortifying some of the main routes, we should talk about other shipping lanes and let passing ships take a limited number of routes, so that we can save a lot of trouble." Liu Yi said.

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Che Kuang immediately raised objections: "Chief Lord, please forgive me for being blunt, this will not work." ”

"Oh, why not?" Liu Yi asked.

"The situation in this area is very complicated, the position and orbit of the asteroids often change, blocking the shipping route, and maybe changing after a few days, not only does it not carry out an effective blockade, but it can also pose a danger to normal passing ships." Che Kuang said eloquently.

Liu Yi nodded and said: "You are right, but it is not comprehensive, I have studied the information of this airspace, most of the asteroid movements are relatively regular, and only a few areas will change frequently, and these areas are not on the route in the first place."

At present, we basically have the safest routes, so the blockade of those more dangerous routes is originally to improve safety. I don't think Lieutenant Colonel Che would object to this, right? ”

Che Kuang nodded helplessly, he wanted Liu Yi to retreat and dispel the idea of blocking the route, but he didn't expect that Liu Yi had already done his homework and didn't back down at all.

"My suggestion is that space mines can be set up on these more dangerous routes, and then the safe routes can be announced, and if anyone does not listen to the dissuasion and insists on going from dangerous places, then please bear the consequences." Liu Yi said seriously: "I don't think most legal merchant ships will take risks, only those smugglers will take those dangerous routes." ”

Liu Yi's words made Che Kuang unable to refute, but Che Kuang was not willing to admit defeat like this, and changed his words and said: "Okay, even if this is the case, we don't have so many weapons to block the route." With such a large airspace, how many space mines are needed to cover it, I'm afraid it will take several million. ”

Che Kuang's tone was full of mockery, and there was no one present who couldn't hear it, and everyone who followed Liu Yi to the fortress all showed dissatisfied looks.

However, Liu Yi did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, he had already expected these reactions, and if he didn't even think of this, he would not convene this meeting.

"Lieutenant Colonel Che has some point, but such considerations are only valid in normal circumstances." Liu Yi said and clicked a few times on the portable computer, only to see a new image immediately appear in the projection in the center of the conference room.

"Look, this is the distribution of major asteroids in the airspace. As you can see, there are a lot of asteroids in the airspace, and these are natural weapons that can be used. Liu Yi operated on the portable computer again, and many flashing red points of light immediately appeared in the asteroid distribution map.

Liu Yi continued: "These are the results based on the distribution of asteroids and the calculation of artificial intelligence, we don't actually need to set up a lot of space mines, just set them in some important places. Once a spaceship triggers a space mine, the explosion of the space mine will trigger a chain reaction of the asteroid, thus posing a huge threat to the spacecraft.

Therefore, we don't need to set up so many space mines, as long as there are about thousands, and this number of space mines is currently available in the warehouse, so there is no need to use them in vain, and there is no need for additional investment. ”

Liu Yi used to study the galactic defense system, and using all natural conditions to lay out the defense network is his specialty.

Everyone who participated in the meeting saw that Liu Yi thought it through so thoroughly, not only the plan was simple and easy, but also did not require additional investment, which can be said to be very good.

Those who had always been skeptical of the plan had to let out an exclamation at this time, and a small discussion rang out in the conference room.

Che Kuang, who was still mocking Liu Yi just now, also put away his arrogant attitude at this time, supported his chin with his hand, and carefully observed Liu Yi to give a map of the distribution of space mines.

"If that's the case, I have no problem with the plan, and I will do my best to cooperate." Equipment supervisor Sun Ning said.

Everyone saw that someone took the lead, and they all expressed their support for the plan, but Ye Na and Che Kuang never expressed their position, and they always kept their faces calm and did not speak.

After this period of understanding, Liu Yi knows very well that Ye Na's attitude is very critical, if she doesn't express her position, others may also take the method of acting against her.

Therefore, if Liu Yi wants to carry out this plan, he must ask Ye Na to express his support.

"Director Ye, you are in charge of administration, and this plan needs your strong support to be carried out, what is your opinion?" Liu Yi asked directly by name.

The conference room was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Na, wanting to see what she would say.

Ye Na nodded slightly, and said unhurriedly: "The chief only said the beginning of the plan, I want to know what is left?" Will the blockade of the shipping route be able to curb smuggling activities? ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly and replied, "Of course, if the route is only restricted, the smuggling activities will not decrease." Next, we implemented strict controls on the navigable routes, and all ships had to enter the airport for inspection. ”

"And then you make a fortune by repairing?" Ye Na smiled contemptuously.

Seeing her openly mocking herself like this, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel a little angry, picked up the water cup and poured a sip, which suppressed his emotions.

"This is only one aspect, the main purpose is to crack down on smuggling, especially the smuggling of weapons, these people are the factors that seriously threaten the security of the empire, and they must be severely cracked down."

"Did the chief ever think that if these smuggling groups were pressed too hard, it would only lead to their stubborn resistance, and the fortress would have such men and weapons to fight against the smuggling groups every day, and I am afraid that they would die in two months." Ye Na said angrily.

"So what do you mean? Just let these smuggling syndicates go? Liu Yi said with some anger.

"I didn't say that." Ye Na said without flinching: "It's okay if the chief wants us to work hard, after all, you are the superior, and we must carry out orders if you have them." But we want the Boss to fight alongside us, not hide in the fortress and give orders. ”

"Very well, of course I will fight side by side with everyone, not only me, but also the people I bring with me!"

"Hehe, that's a nice thing to say, do you know how to fight? I'm afraid you'll have to be taken care of by someone else when you go to war, right? ”

"And what do you say?" Liu Yi said angrily.

Ye Na replied loudly: "It's very simple, you are driving a mecha and fighting with us, do you dare?" ”

Liu Yi saw that Ye Na was intent on challenging herself, and if she didn't show her momentum at this time, she wouldn't want to suppress her in the future.

"Good! As long as the battle is needed, I will definitely be like everyone else, driving a mecha to fight! Liu Yi said word by word.
