Chapter 103: The Anikes join the front
Using the information channels set up in the early stage, while keeping an eye on the front, the Pan Wen family's Golden and Angel Captains led two Anik ships to persuade potential collaborators in MR246.
"Little ghost, you're making it hard for me."
This is a communication in progress, and in addition to the blue-skinned guys and Panwen on the screen, there is also the representative of the first group of Agnic mercenaries, Irene .
The guy who made the fortune is obviously not as polite as Irene is, but fortunately Pan Wen is not a person who likes to buckle details, as long as the result meets expectations.
"The Anike people need more room to develop, and obviously I can't represent the overall view of humanity, so I can only seek a way out for you."
"Hmm...... I guess I need time to think about it. ”
"Hope to wait for your good news."
As on this occasion, the results of lobbying were not always good.
Because of the shadow of the last human-insect war, and the relationship between the Anikes and humans, they are basically conservatives. Pan Wen has attracted some people who are good at communicating with humans through the business of D21 Development Company, but to fight, it is obvious that there will be more and more powerful existence in the conservatives, and trying to convince these guys is the reason why Pan Wen is delaying time in MR246.
Among the Anike conservatives, the big snake head in front of him is quite easy to speak, and there are some who are ready to fight at every turn, even if there are the same kind of Anikes in the team.
During the two weeks he stayed in MR246, if it weren't for the heavy cruisers that Pan Wen brought this time, he would have spent all day in battle.
After contacting the last smuggler in the previous list, estimating and assessing the situation on the front line and the strength of Anike's mercenaries, Pan Wen suspended his activities in MR246 and led the team back to MR249 to start organizing.
Because it is a cooperative relationship, Pan Wen cannot adjust the personnel of the fleet, and the contradiction between the Anik and the human beings and the geographical span of the subsequent operation decided that it is impossible to establish a real-time coordination center on the Golden as with the mercenaries, and the so-called adjustment is also a very simple division of labor.
Let the Anike people recommend an internal affairs officer, with a small number of younger brothers, who will be responsible for the coordination with MR246, MR249, and D21 companies, including follow-up lobbying work, making necessary benefits for lobbying, and Anike's mercenary registration work in MR249, etc.
The rest follow the gold number back to K11 and move on to the next step.
Before that, there is also an identity.
The Aniks are mercenaries registered in MR249, but they still need the tacit approval of the Combined Fleet of the Empire and the Federation on the front line, in fact, they just need to issue a contact code and wait for the official ship of the Combined Fleet to come.
Just as it is difficult for the Anniks to accept humans, it is difficult for humans to work safely with these good-tempered creatures.
Take the battle-hardened veterans of the Golden Ship as an example, in just two weeks, the statistics of the second host Doudou show that the frequency of swearing by the crew has exceeded the state of the MR241 two months after stealing the mine, and is 17 times the average of the previous maintenance completed, and the value can fully show the troubles of the crew.
Therefore, Pan Wen did not intend to let the Aniks enter combat mode as soon as they came, but divided them into two groups to do something else, and took the opportunity to let his fleet rest for a while.
The grouping of the Anikes, Pan Wen divided it in the simplest way - the state of the ship.
The owners of those old ships with too many old ships were grouped together to help build a new L1 ecosystem. The transfer of materials was liaisoned by the special task force of the D21 Development Company's office in K11, and Qian Panwen did not give a cent, only promising that the things made would belong to the Anikes.
The L1 ecosystem of the Anike people is not very good by analogy with technology, but they live in space all year round, have their own ecosystem system, and are said to be very efficient in the use of resources, and may be able to provide some additional low-cost food products for K11.
The rest of the Anike mercenaries are sloppy, with an average age of 21 years, and only a very small part of them are products from two generations ago.
After a short period of arguing with this Boanik people, under the strong request and persuasion of Pan Wen, they will carry out in-depth maintenance of the ship in the next period of time.
The term "deep maintenance" is very nonsense, it is specifically compared with ship refurbishment, overhaul engineering, the difference between the two is that deep maintenance is very cost-effective, only refurbishment of the precision parts of the weapon system and the investigation and repair of important equipment major hidden dangers, and will not replace the second-class equipment whose reliability has declined, let alone re-lay the line.
According to Pan Wen's idea, if he can overhaul them all, even if it is a battleship of the previous generation, he dares to take the Anike mercenaries to walk around the swarm when the opportunity is good.
However, the Anike people regard the life of Star Coin as important, and it is impossible to agree to overhaul at their own expense, after all, for some ships with many hidden dangers, the cost of overhaul is not much different from buying a second-hand ship that is thirty or forty years old.
The Anike mercenaries had too many ships, and Pan Wen couldn't afford a huge amount of money to subsidize them for overhaul repairs, so he could only take a step back and agree that they would only do deep maintenance.
The manufacturer that provides maintenance is naturally the internal chamber of commerce of the resistance forces that have cooperated in the past.
In order to make everyone accept the existence of Anike's mercenaries, Pan Wen struggled to negotiate with all parties in the next few days, so that Anike people can enjoy the rights equivalent to ordinary foreign chambers of commerce in K11.
With the facilities and supply rights granted by the Combined Fleet, the basic rights of ordinary foreign chambers of commerce seem to be useless, but they are indispensable to Pan Wen.
The Aniks had to have this right in order for them to have more contact, contact, and communication with other human teams before they could truly realize that they were not just low-level creatures who were bent on violence. If they are less hostile to each other, they don't have to worry about the internal contradictions being too sharp and causing a worse situation when forming a mixed fleet. Of course, the premise is that both sides maintain sufficient rationality and restraint in the engagement.
Whether it's the preparation of Anike's mercenaries or their adaptation to working with humans, it takes time, and it just so happens that time is not so abundant right now.
While Phan Van was running around to strengthen the K11 civilian armed forces to seek relations between all parties, the situation of K11 was not all smooth sailing, and the commanders of the combined fleet had more headaches than him, and the situation deteriorated too quickly.
In the previous two weeks, a large-scale attack had been launched on the left wing of the KT cluster, and in less than twelve hours, the K21-K23 new defense sector of the right wing had also been hit by the right wing swarm.
The losses of the official forces of both defense zones were significant.
On the K11 joint front, almost half of the combined fleets of the Empire and the Federation were lost in defensive battles. The situation is even worse with the new line of defense of K21-K23, in which the armed forces in the K21 area are completely wiped out, and the line can no longer be called a line of defense.
The combined fleet of K11 suffered huge losses, at least there were a large number of mercenaries to cope with the situation, and the entire defense line in the K21-K23 area was finished without playing a role from beginning to end, and the rear was in chaos, and it could not be replenished, which was a huge blow to the confidence in the war of people and insects.
The K21-K23 defense line has been destroyed, and there is no place to defend the next K12-K20 area, and the only remaining strength of the KT star cluster is no longer enough to lay a new defense area covering the K14-K16 area, and the only way out is to fully shrink and use K11 as the last bridgehead to build a key defense area for density explosion.
The less bad part of the bad news may be that in this conflict, the humans still wiped out all the bugs they could find, although the original resident planet of D21 was eroded, but the evacuation work there has been basically completed, and the resident planet will not be left with resources left by the bugs when the army is withdrawn.
The defeat was not all bad, as both lines of defense were severely damaged at the same time, and finally the commanders of the Combined Fleet realized that the armed forces against the swarm were still far from enough, and began to think of ways to make up for the disadvantage.
It is inevitable that the empire and the federation will urge the domestic army to increase, but it involves the border security of the two rival neighbors, whether it is a temporary expansion of the army or a direct transfer, it needs to be discussed by both sides, and the territory of these two countries spans a large area, even if a request for additional troops has been submitted as early as the previous time the federal fleet was created, there will be no results for a while.
But the empire and the federation are not just watching, less than 12 hours after the results of the large-scale attack of the swarm came out, the two sides announced at the same time that they would convert 20% of the domestic production capacity into a wartime material production mechanism to fully meet the military needs of the MR243 and K11 regions.
The superpower's wartime production mechanism is very powerful, when those manufacturers of luxury goods produce battleship interiors and high-precision components, the primary material manufacturers will switch to the production of specified profiles to save the subsequent manufacturing process, just 20% of the capacity conversion, can provide the front line with at least 300 frigate-class warships per day, and this is only the additional amount given by the activation of the wartime production mechanism!
Within a short period of time after this news was released, the two countries reached an agreement with the small local countries of MR243 that the Empire and the Federation would provide more senior instructors to MR243, and MR243 countries would provide basic personnel, greatly expanding the training of backup forces.
In addition, the BU program, which provides technical support for the human insect war, is also expanding resources and talent channels, and the first batch of test weapons and equipment has entered the authorization stage, and will soon be available for purchase from major manufacturers.
This is true outside the battle line, and there are naturally more things going on inside K11.
A new command system is being built, in addition to the original Combined Fleet Command, under the leadership of the Empire and the Federation, a group of people and ships have also been made out of the retreating armies of the right wing star sector to form the Eastern Sector Command, and all the withdrawn official troops will be included in the system, and those that have been scattered among the civilian population will also be recalled by the department as much as possible.
The organization of the local owners now has an official name, and the name is very frustrating, called the Vigilante Front, and a large part of the reason why Pan Wen returned to the front is the credit of the news.
It is not just a new name, according to sources, with the improvement of functional departments, it will also have a small number of administrative functions to help manage the registration of civilian armed forces and the management of the entry and exit of some materials.
K11 has always been a free trade zone, there is no official body, at most there are a few private chambers of commerce, and even if the combined fleet comes in, it is only military control and no administrative regulations. The sudden emergence of quasi-administrative institutions has completely changed the business environment, and a group of merchants may withdraw from K11 if they are not careful.
Although Pan Wen is relatively poor, his reputation in K11 is okay, and the D21 development company behind him is also a bit of a scale now, so he thinks that coming to K11 to watch the construction of the quasi-administrative structure may be bigger than staying in MR246 to continue recruiting Anike mercenary department.
Next, wait for the new weapons provided by the BU project to appear, and see if there is a chance to trap the bugs to ease the situation or delay the evacuation of the right-wing sector for some time.
