Chapter 142: Transformation
"Your Excellency, Commander, we must speed up the pace of integration. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"I had hoped that the situation would not deteriorate, but now it seems to be an extravagant hope. But the situation on the side of the fleet, you know, I don't know anything. ”
"Huh."
Lu Lu's contact with Feng Qingyin again was not a private communication, but the use of the internal communication system of the navy, so the tone of the two people's words when they spoke was completely different.
After a vague conversation that looked like a dumb riddle, the two admirals ended the conversation with a sigh of tacit understanding. Then the berths of the Gillesis cluster were still busy, and the most conspicuous fortresses began to grow at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Cluster-scale military operations will not be launched so quickly, even if the Supreme Command of the Federal Navy has authorized the Gillesis cluster to fight independently, but the supplies from the rear cannot immediately cross the two star fields, from the distant central system of the Source Domain to the easternmost part of the Gillesis Star Field.
Starships that cannot recover their combat capability in the short term are towed to the vicinity of the fortress and then connected through a common interface, and the power system shield system is linked together using a central communication protocol, and the originally independent system is perfectly combined and becomes a part of the fortress.
Lelu has no doubt that when the war is over, a massive, completely artificially constructed object will emerge in this system, and the system will become a thriving economic center. Now the diameter of this fortress is more than 10,000 kilometers, almost the size of the earth, and it is still expanding at a rate of 100 kilometers every day.
Although this galaxy is relatively small, and there are only three natural stargates, humans have mastered the technology to open stargates while maintaining the stability of the current universe. If Lu Lu is willing to operate this place as a base, he can set up three star gates to connect the Emma Empire, but unfortunately this is the Gillesis Star Field after all, and it is not Lu Lu's turn to worry.
But Lu Lu didn't mind helping the Seventh Fleet build it into a new transportation hub. Although that was after Feng Qingyin agreed to split the local revenue in half for the next sixty years.
"Even death does not stop the instinct of capitalists to pursue profit, but the military chases glory. With the enemy's or their own death. ”
This is not a fool's errand, because Lu Lu is a soldier but also a businessman. While he traced with his fingers the rudder and anchor crest of the Navy on his floppy hat, his eyes were focused on the financial statements of the Military-Industrial Complex.
It is precisely because Lu Lu occupies a certain share of the federal arms industry, yes, his industry includes providing the federal navy with completely exclusive patent accessories such as shield generators and energy transmission turbines, and at the same time, he also collects high royalties for torpedoes and missile-related patents from the six major federal arms manufacturers.
Although the Lelu industry was subject to the needs of the Confederation under the threat of war, the credibility of the Confederation was excellent. Although the federal treasury is often out of money, it does not deliberately default on payments. Therefore, the arms dealers of the Federation are the most ethical businessmen in the entire universe, they do not deliberately produce inferior weapons and equipment, and all their research is based on the premise of winning wars.
Therefore, Lu Lu is not worried that his efforts will be wiped out in the future, and the Federation is not very worried that its own weapons manufacturers will suddenly fall to the enemy one day.
So Lu Lu casually flipped through the reports in his hand, which were basically from the Command, recording that the starship of a certain fleet had won meritorious service and what honors he had received, but Lu Lu still instinctively found hidden information from the report.
The scale of the fighting between the Federation and the Alliance in the eastern region has dropped dramatically, but at the same time, the frequency of exchanges between the two sides has increased, and the defeated Freedom Alliance forces and the Federation Navy who have come to encircle them are going back and forth in the sector. However, the warring parties are not so mad as to burn glass balls, which shows that the two sides are restrained and have a bottom line. But this is only the part that ordinary people can see, what they don't see is the sharp decline in the population of the eastern regions.
The population here actually refers to non-Yan and Huang ethnic groups. When war comes, those who are interested in the Federation will naturally obey the arrangements of the Federation and move to the western region. And those who claim to be nostalgic for their homeland are basically people who don't care who the ruler is, and they are just abandoned.
At the beginning of the war, these people actually thought it was okay, and the Confederates who were busy storming the federal fortress had no intention of managing it, so they achieved the coveted 'autonomy'. And then these people who are pursuing freedom and self-government, it only took two years to make a mess of everything on the ground.
Then there was the repeated tug-of-war between the Federation and the Allied forces in the eastern star sector, and the debris falling from the universe became a nightmare in the hearts of the inhabitants of the ground, but their demands were no longer heeded, after all, they were already autonomous.
"So that's it, the Yanhuang people don't need the labor force of these demographics at all, because their stubborn conservatism determines their low value." When Hayabusa said this, he seemed particularly indifferent. But almost no one in the Yanhuang people will stand up and refute it, because this is the truth.
Due to the difference in racial lifespan, the same thirty years is only a mere adulthood for the descendants of the earth, while the Mimatar people have already gone through a fifth of their lives. The Yanhuang people spent thirty years learning all kinds of knowledge, but the Mimatar people could not be so extravagant, so the more technology advanced, the greater the gap between the two races.
The Yanhuang can make a plan for the Wellspring for two hundred years because they have enough time to wait for two or three generations of Mimatar to die. The descendants of Earth know all too well that time is the most terrible weapon of fusion. After two or three generations, the Mimatar who had tried to gain independence would default to the rule of the Yanhuang.
Just like the ordinary Mimatar people in the Eastern Star Sector, they have long acquiesced to the Yanhuang people ruling the starry sky above them. Freedom and autonomy after the instigation of careerists became the negative teaching material for those who came after the war. The gap in absolute strength is not something that can be caught up in a short period of time.
"Mimatar's eighty years of preparation is simply unscrupulous and impulsive in the eyes of the Yanhuang people." Lu Lu sighed.
"Anyway, the purpose of our participation in the war has been achieved. A large and stable population with knowledge and experience enters the Wellspring Domain and joins your business. The corners of his mouth twitched, expressing his disdain for the big capitalist Lu Lu.
"It's our business, and don't forget, His Royal Highness the Viscount of a certain foreign country also holds shares." After Lu Lu finished speaking, he began to laugh. Only when Hayabusa had begun to roll his eyes in boredom did he close the document and say that he had turned over the matter. "So, when will our lovely rescue begin?"
Falcon, who was in the same room, looked up to observe Lu Lu's expression, and then said in an easy-going tone: "You can do it at any time, but I think it is better to wait for the joint announcement from the Headquarters and the Intelligence Department to arrive." ”
Use large-scale normal military operations to hide their original intentions. Lu Lu praised Hayabusa's increasingly comfortable use of the military as a cover. The military operations of the special service fleet are often accompanied by more meaning, which is already well known, at least the one who should know everything, and those who do not know will never know.
So, let the enemy guess whether the special service fleet is conducting normal military activities or is carrying out special operations. Anyway, it was originally a normal military mission, but by the way, it was just to save the important people who were arrested by the police.
Although the true purpose of the combat mission was not told to the soldiers fighting on the front lines, whatever the reason, Hayabusa wanted to minimize the risk.
As a result, the normal patrol group was transformed from half a detachment into a whole detachment, that is, from fifty battleships to one hundred, accompanied by up to two thousand cruisers and assault ships. This formation, which is a little bloated on weekdays, means that it is strong enough to survive at this time.
In the unlikely event of an enemy counterattack, they would at least have a chance to hold out and wait for reinforcements before they were outnumbered tenfold. In fact, if there are more than three times as many enemies, they will have to hold on and wait for help. As for the enemy forces with a comparable number, then they will not hesitate, and direct destruction is the only option.
As there is also a nominal mission to put pressure on the Alliance's side, the patrol fleet will fire several shots at the administrative planets within the Freedom Alliance. Because it was not a weapon of destruction specifically against the surface, the shelling of battleships had only two natural effects.
The first is to burn a glass hole at the point of impact, and the second is to blow away a small part of the atmosphere. The former creates a new active volcano, while the latter causes an imbalance in atmospheric circulation. But each of the five empires has its own planetary modification technology, so neither of these problems is a problem for modern technology.
As for what kind of chaos will happen to the ground under attack, and whether there will be any human damage, it is not a matter for the Federal Navy. In fact, if the planet had not been deliberately burned into glass balls, this kind of deterrent shelling would not have caused as many casualties as space garbage. In the eastern part of the Federation, there is an unfortunate planet that has been frequently hit by the wreckage of battleships and has split into four larger pieces in just one week.
As for the natives of the planet, the generals of the warring sides would only conclude with the words "collateral damage of war" in their reports.
Therefore, theoretically, there will be no problem with the incidental rescue plan, but for the staff officers of the special service fleet, any combat plan that has begun will be subject to unexpected situations anytime and anywhere. Otherwise, this is not a war, and this is not a battlefield. (To be continued.) )
