Chapter 1018: Canglan's Past
In this way, it ignores the enemy's strategic sneak attack on logistics cargo ships, and provides stable and sufficient strategic resource support for the army on the front line.
This is something that no fleet that relies on the support of conventional cargo ships can do, such as the war between the Estar Federation and the Celestial Legion, the logistics line is cut off by the free robot forces, and its huge fleet can only last for more than ten days.
And for the voyage in space, which can easily take days and dozens of days, the loss of logistical support is undoubtedly a very fatal blow to the army!
Therefore, the strategic cargo ship has become a heavy weapon of a great power and a symbol of strength, but from a rational point of view, the average small country, intermediate country and the same strength of the power have a limited territorial area, and the probability of ultra-long-distance combat is very low.
For them, this kind of strategic cargo ship is really tasteless and tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, and the maintenance of one strategic cargo ship is quite much more than the maintenance of two conventional combat star carriers, and it is really an expensive "ornament."
Back to the Canglan Star Domain, Luo Guozhi noticed that this strategic cargo ship had been in service for another 70 years, reaching 270 years, which can be described as very old.
This "meritorious ship" in the mouth of the Inca Empire is because it is a starship that participated in the war between the World Alliance and the Odin God Kingdom.
In that war-torn era, this strategic cargo ship, once the only remaining strategic cargo ship of the Inca Empire, undertook the important responsibility of supplying strategic materials to the front line with local logistics.
It strongly supported the numerous combat missions of the coalition forces, and after the war, it was completely renovated and became a prestigious "meritorious ship" for the public to see.
With the passage of the post-war peace era, the older generation of people who participated in or lived in that era gradually passed away, and the new generation of people did not have so deep feelings for that period of history, and this meritorious ship gradually faded from everyone's field of vision, and the empire had to provide it with huge maintenance costs every year.
So, of course, once again, in the Imperial Council, one of the members of the Imperial Council objected to this waste of resources, claiming that the Empire's victory in the first place did not need to be demonstrated by an old starship, and that instead of spending so much money every year, it should be used to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of remote systems.
In this way, the councillor's proposal became a bill, and after two years of debate, it was finally approved by the Imperial Diet by a majority of two votes, and no longer invested in the maintenance of this "meritorious ship", but transferred it to the private sector to raise funds for daily maintenance.
The military also completely dismantled the internal equipment, mainly the super energy reactor, as well as the corresponding engine thruster system.
After that, the capital raised by the private sector only lasted for only 7 years, and then it was declared that it was unable to continue, and completely stopped the maintenance and fundraising action of this "meritorious ship", and in this way, this huge strategic cargo ship docked in a simple space port of the private sector, and gradually became unpopular for 19 years.
It wasn't until three months before Luo Guozhi's arrival that a certain business group bought the ownership of the remote and barren planet where the strategic cargo ship was located, because the planet had discovered several rare resources that had not been detected before.
The space port it occupies is to be transformed into a future mineral resource transit base, and the huge size of the strategic cargo ship forms an obstacle.
It's not that they didn't think about renovating, but the limitations of the renovation are too great, it doesn't meet the needs of the mining base, and the cost is 1.3 times that of a new one, so they finally chose to dismember it and put it up for bidding from the public.
Luo Guozhi, who has deep pockets, came up with the idea of buying this strategic cargo ship, and it was very easy to get the agreement, and bought the strategic cargo ship, which had become an empty shell, almost at an extremely low price equivalent to scrap metal.
It also spent a lot of money to contact 11 large conventional star towing ships, and it took more than 9 months to tow it back to the Canglan Star Field, and invested a huge amount of money to transform it into the new space headquarters of their Takrada Group.
At that time, it also caused a great sensation, and the prestige of the Takrada Group in the eighteen star fields reached its peak for a while.
It's a pity that 30 years later, Luo Guozhi died, and the new successor of the Takarada Group was ambitious, taking a fancy to the unique geographical location of the Chaotic Star Domain, and wanted to open up a trade route to the Tiannan Democratic State from there, and even established a country across the Canglan Star Domain, part of the Chenyang Star Domain and the Wasteland Star Domain!
As a result, as the main force, they united the five major forces of the Chenyang Star Domain, the three major forces of the Wasteland Star Domain, the many forces of the Winter Thunder Star Domain and the Zhanhai Star Domain, and launched a war against the Star Pirate Alliance of the Chaotic Star Domain.
It's a pity that the power of the Star Thieves Group back then had the secret support of Su Ya, the former supreme administrator of the Odin Divine Kingdom, and the originally quick war turned into a protracted war.
The alliance of the five star fields was played by the army of cunning star thieves, and the three-year war exhausted the patience and confidence of various forces.
Moreover, because of the huge attrition of the war, the various forces have been unable to continue, and the Takrada group, as the initiator of the war, has also caused the severance of its own capital chain because of the long war, which has triggered a large-scale economic crisis and social panic.
In the end, the ruling system of the Takrada Group collapsed, the alliance forces of the five star fields were also disbanded, and the Star Thieves were extorted a huge amount of compensation one by one.
The Canglan Star Field also fell back into division, and the then chairman of the board of directors of the Takarada Group gradually divested most of the industries in order to preserve the last flame of the group, and finally left only the military industry and the mining industry.
Later, the mining industry was replaced by the emerging Roche Business Alliance, and the Takarada Group became the current Takarada Military Industry Group.
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Takarda Military Industry Group has not sold the headquarters transformed from a super flagship strategic cargo ship, which was once a symbol of glory, and its development ideas of seeking stability have also allowed them to gradually sit firmly in the position of the third largest force in the Canglan Star Domain.
The current CEO is a thin middle-aged man named Lander, who is only 71 years old, in the prime of life, and is known for his shrewdness within the Canglan Business Alliance.
