On the afternoon of the day when the first version of the military's strategic plan was formulated, Shen Chao appeared alone outside the meeting hall of the representatives of the major ethnic governments. This is the former town hall in the expropriated city.

Since it was requisitioned, it has been used as the main venue for various political meetings. Now in the main chamber, the officers of the corps are presenting to politicians the initial strategy they have developed.

And Shen Chao is one of the few people who have the authority to enter and leave here now, and the meeting is still going on in the venue at this time, and the lowest member of the meeting is also a figure at the level of a country's vice minister of foreign affairs. People like Shen Chao can only wait outside.

The security work here is also very tight, and there are several ghosts of the Divine Citadel like him on the scene, basically taking on the job of protecting an important person at close range. But Shen Chao is not, he is here to wait for people.

Finally, after waiting for an unknown amount of time, the meeting finally ended, and more than 100 leaders from various ethnic groups left the venue at their own pace.

Asare, Touareg, Salarui, Krogan, Waller, Hana...... Normally, there are no supreme leaders or representatives of so many races in the Divine Castle.

As soon as these distinguished guests left the venue, they were quickly picked up by their respective bodyguards or entourage from the hall. With everyone leaving, Shen Chao also found the person he needed.

"Madam Councillor, please wait a minute. He shouted in the hall and stopped Congressman Asari, who was about to leave. As a close representative of the Citadel Council, this councillor has been busy these days, but now he seems to be in good spirits.

"Isn't this our most reliable ghost, what's the matter with you, Major?" Councilor Asari sighed when he saw that it was Shen Chao who called her, and then quietly mocked him.

She and several other councillors were still a little angry at Shen Chao and Sister Xue's behavior of not notifying the council first, but Shen Chao was not dissatisfied with each other's this, and what they were going to talk about next was far more important than the councillor's sarcasm about him.

"I have something to talk to you about, Councillor. I know you still have an appointment at 5 o'clock. But it's early, isn't it? Shen Chao saw the other party's expression of wanting to refuse, and immediately said.

Through the report of the spy stationed here by the Shadow Broker's intelligence network, he has long known the agenda of most of the big names on Eden Primary.

Congressman Asari in front of him will have a very secret meeting in a few hours. It's the type that can't be disclosed, so when he says this, he actually means that he knows the other party's schedule, and don't find a reason to shirk it.

With that, he made a gesture of please. Pointing to an empty conference room next to him, Councillor Asari accepted his invitation after a moment's consideration, leaving his two bodyguards outside. followed Shen Chao into the room.

It was a small conference room that looked ordinary, with a long table and a few chairs, it was a government department's office before, Shen Chao had inspected this room before, and there was no eavesdropping equipment.

"Tell me what you want, Major. After Shen Chao closed the door, Councillor Asari asked directly. She doesn't like to be threatened, especially a ghost of the Citadel who is theoretically subordinate to her management.

"I want to talk about dealing with the Reaper threat. ”

"Everybody's talking about this, what do you want to say?" The female parliamentarian had a headache when she heard Shen Chao say this, after all, everyone has not stopped the relevant discussions these days. She had long been tired of the topic.

"I would like to say that although now our government departments and military departments are working closely together these days. There has also been a lot of progress on all sides.

But I personally don't think it's enough to just prepare like this, and given the current military power of the intelligent races in the galaxy, our hope of defeating the Reapers is slim. ”

What Shen Chao said was the truth, the military of various races had conducted a lot of tactical and strategic discussions in the past few days, and had also used the supercomputer on the Arcturus space station to conduct many super-large-scale battle simulations.

The simulations were conducted in the virtual world at full scale, with accurate models of existing Clan and Reaper ships as well as new warships that were just beginning to take shape.

As a result, the final simulation results were frustrating regardless of the version. That's why Shen Chao said that. He really didn't think much of the current galaxy's ability to deal with the Reaper.

"Your views seem a little too pessimistic for a ghost, Major. The Combined Officers Corps had just told us that with enough time to prepare, the Coalition could finally defeat the Reapers. ”

Congressman Asari retorted to Shen Chao's point of view, and he didn't understand why Shen Chao would comment like this, as the officer corps had just shown them a close simulation of a battle in the venue.

In that simulation, the combined fleet of various clans was very good, and it was only a two-to-one draw with the Reaper fleet.

"They haven't told you how this was done, have they?" Shen Chao sighed when he heard this.

Of course, he knew the results of the simulation that the officer corps had just shown, and he had also participated in the super-large simulation, and he knew that the simulation was filled with water.

The main purpose of showing the results of this water injection simulation is to appease the various small races in attendance, so that they can invest money in a few large races, so that they can build ships on a large scale.

To put it simply, the results of the simulation announced this time are completely a trap for the non-parliamentary races, allowing these small races to contribute money and efforts.

"In fact, we used a lot of the "Reaper Killer" in the simulation battle, and the number of many conventional warships was changed to this kind of super battleship, so we achieved the effect in the demonstration just now. ”

Shen Chao revealed that the "Reaper Killer" is a warship that is being designed, and the battleship design engineers designed this kind of warship according to the requirements of the military.

Although the first drawings have only just been completed, the supership of this design has already been dubbed the "Reaper Killer" by the engineers.

The reason is also very simple, it is a kind of giant ship that is not much different from the type of the overlord. The firepower and protection are more than ten times that of the current mainstream dreadnoughts.

Although it is still only on the drawings, the minimum design indicators have been determined, and the goal given by the military is very clear, this kind of battleship uses particle beam main guns, which can theoretically break through the capital ship of the Overlord-class Reaper defense in a short time.

It was the electronic model of this new type of warship that was also massively added to the simulation program, and some models of dreadnoughts and cruisers were used to set the number of such warships.

These vest-clad superships then work with regular ships against the Reaper fleet, so the final simulation for politicians doesn't look so bad.

But there is a small problem here, they do not yet have this kind of powerful battleship that is named "Reaper Killer", even if it is a qiēshun lì, it is estimated that it will be several months before it is possible to build a sample ship.

And want to install it on a large scale before the arrival of the Reaper? It was almost impossible, Shen Chao explained this simple truth, and sure enough, the female councillor became depressed when she heard this.

Originally, if Shen Chao didn't tell her, the senior officers of the Asari tribe would also tell her the truth later, but Shen Chao made the congresswoman experience this loss too early.

"Do you have a better way?" After a while, Congresswoman Asari continued to ask, knowing that it would be extremely difficult to fight the Reapers. And Shen Chao's success made her feel more difficult.

"Frontal combat?" No. But I have some other types of plans, some options that we are not ready to talk about at this stage, but which are very realistic. ”

"I'm listening......" Congressman Asari was visibly interested when he heard this.

"The focus of the discussions in these few days has been on how to beat the Reaper, but there is one possibility that has been forgotten. After all, the number of Reapers is too large, and our plans may be the same as those of the Prosians, and we will not be able to stop them in the end. ”

"But imagine what will happen if our fleet fails? Our race may all be wiped out. ”

"I know all of this. What's your Jianyì? ”

"I think we have to be prepared with both hands, on the one hand, we will lift the arms restrictions according to Hackett's proposal and concentrate the main resources of the galaxy to expand the arms war.

But in addition to that, we also need to invest some resources in just in case. For example, learn from the Prothean and build some hidden shelters......"

Shen Chao recounted his plan, ostensibly, that he was building a way out of the mainstream to prepare for war, and to build some hibernation facilities and hidden industrial bases like Prosian, so that he could make a comeback after defeat.

But in fact, this technique he proposed was to develop his own strength in the main plane, and it had nothing to do with the Shenma Vault at all.

"Do you have a specific plan?" Congressman Asari asked, in fact, everyone has such an idea, but no one dares to raise it at this stage of the meeting.

The current atmosphere of the meeting is to defeat the Reaper at any cost, rather than trying to save yourself, and the meeting has come to an end, and the news of the Proxian and the Reaper will soon be announced to the public, so this kind of plan cannot be mentioned publicly.

"No, but I already have a prototype of a plan, and I'll need time to prototype and validate the feasibility, so I need to ......"

"Time ......," Congressman Asari said on his behalf.

After all, it is a centuries-old politician, although he seems to be incompetent in many cases, and his ability to make decisions in many major matters is not good, but the other party's ability to observe words and emotions is very powerful.

"That's right, I need time and complete freedom of movement. I need the council to stop giving me any orders for some time to come, and I'll need to devote myself to the preparation of this vault for at least a year. (To be continued.) )
