Chapter 120: Limitless Business Opportunities
When Liu Fei and Burleigh arrived in the conference room, they realized that the matter was much more serious than they imagined.
Austin and Wei San's 300,000 troops were mostly scattered by the gladiator heavy gold-armored cavalry, leaving less than 150,000, while the losses of Dezi who rushed to the aid were even heavier, and in the fierce and brutal engagement, Dezi's 100,000 army lost 60,000.
The 60,000 troops lost by Dezi are different from the more than 100,000 troops that Austin and Wei San were scattered, after all, the armies of Austin and Wei San were only scattered and could be gathered slowly, while the 60,000 troops lost by Dezi were killed on the battlefield.
Of course, Dezi exchanged the loss of 60,000 men for space, and a total of nearly 20 armies retreated a hundred miles away and set up camp on a mountain.
As the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, the armies of Austin, Wei San and Dezi had just converged, and they were immediately surrounded by 300,000 troops from the Eastern Military Region and the Western Military Region reinforcing Utopia City.
When the intelligence department reported the current information, the entire conference room fell into an extreme silence, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn and depressing.
Obviously, now Nancheng has encountered a problem that must be solved, should he send troops to save people or give up?
If they give up, the hundreds of thousands of troops are likely to be wiped out, which will deal a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Nancheng.
If it is rescued, the question is that now the entire southern city can mobilize no more than 300,000 soldiers, and it is still unknown whether the rescue will be successful......
……
In fact, Wei Chongyang put all his hopes on Liu Fei.
If Liu Fei piloted the mecha to participate in the battle, the situation may be reversed immediately, however, everyone is not the slightest sure whether Liu Fei will personally participate in the war, after all, starting from Wei Jiaji, Liu Fei seems to have been avoiding direct participation in the war, and even when he captured the southern city, Liu Fei only made a gesture of destroying the city wall after deciding to win.
From beginning to end, Liu Fei remained silent when the intelligence officers reported, and when all eyes fell on him, Liu Fei set his eyes on Burleigh.
"How's it going for you?"
"It will take at least three months to build the road from Nancheng to Utopia."
"Where's the weapon progress?" Liu Fei frowned and asked.
"Some of the weapons are already in service, but the supply lines are too long, it is very difficult to go to war, and we lack skilled operators and maintenance personnel." Burleigh let out a long sigh, although he had a large number of men at his disposal, but this planet was a planet in the Wild Age, and even a small mechanic was scarce, let alone those professional technicians.
At present, Burleigh's dilemma is not the manufacture of weapons, but high-tech talents, the vast majority of young people with simple control weapon systems can be competent, but the repair and maintenance of those high-tech weapons has become a weakness, after all, to train an ancient person into a high-tech talent in a very short time is tantamount to a fantasy.
"Can the construction of the highway be delayed, and can the original official road of the Utopian Republic pass through heavy weapons?" Liu Fei asked.
"There is no problem with the road, however, the bridge will be a big problem, the original bridge of the ideal star cannot withstand dozens of tons of armored vehicles, and the supply of gasoline will not be able to complete a large-scale war."
"Well, the plan to rush to Utopia City by land has been canceled for the time being, we don't have much time to spend on the war now, you mobilize all the airlift forces on the Brave Enterprising, and be sure to transport a mechanized force to Utopia City to defeat the armed forces of Utopia City in one fell swoop, destroy the will of the upper echelons of Utopia City to resist, and let them have no illusions!"
"Yes, Mr. Liu."
"Mr. Wei, you immediately endorse an order in the capacity of the provisional president, all high-ranking officials who organized resistance will be executed, and the high-ranking officials who have surrendered to Cheng must be given recognition of their status, including allowing them to join the decision-making level of the provisional government, in short, we must now break the enemy's will to resist as quickly as possible!"
"I'll do it right away, Mr. Liu!"
"Adjournment!"
……
After the meeting was dismissed, Burleigh did not leave immediately, but followed Liu Fei to the pioneer underground base, during the meeting, Burleigh vaguely felt that today's Liu Fei was a little extraordinary.
Boehly's feeling was not wrong, and Liu Fei took him straight to the main control room of the underground base.
"Boehly, look!" Liu Fei's hands flew on the main control board, full of rhythm.
"Ah...... What is it? ”
Burleigh's eyes widened as he watched the 3D animation of the main control room, a look of surprise as the animation showed that the massive underground base was stretching out somewhere.
In fact, Burleigh already knew the base very well, and all the information of the base was fed back to the main control optical brain of the Brave Endeavor for analysis, whether it was a cross-section or an anatomical drawing, Burleigh was shocked by the sudden extension of the channel.
"This is the analysis map analyzed by the main control optical brain of the Brave Enterprising, according to the direction of the building, facing the west, there should be a fairly large base, from the layout of the network pipeline, it is speculated that this should be a launch base, it is likely to be an outer space defense system!"
"Outer space defense system?!" Burleigh's body shook.
"Yes, this base is not a simple military base, but a military code with the highest authority, and the main control brain of the Brave Endeavor cannot be opened, if there is an outer space defense system here, then, most likely, there will be a spaceship here!"
"Spaceship ......" Burley was stunned.
"Well, spaceship, however, we need to get the highest password authority to be able to fully activate this base, so we must take Utopia City as soon as possible."
"The highest privilege password is in Utopia City?"
"Theoretically, yes." Liu Fei said lightly.
"Okay, I'll organize an attack immediately and take Utopia City as soon as possible!" Burleigh was excited, if they could find the complete spaceship, it would mean that they would be able to leave the ideal star.
Getting a complete spaceship and repairing the Brave Endeavor are completely different things, after all, the Brave Endeavor is badly damaged, and if you want to repair it, it is definitely not possible to complete it in a short time, in fact, Burleigh is also ready for the long term to build a large industrial base.
"The Great Leader of Austin may not be able to support it for long, you need to speed up."
"Don't worry, we can leave tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we can be under the city of Utopia!" Burleigh said with a proud face.
Liu Fei nodded, Boehly acted vigorously and resolutely, without dragging his feet, Liu Fei was deeply appreciative.
Mr. Liu...... I...... I have a question for you......" Burleigh suddenly stopped talking, looking unspeakable.
"Huh?"
"If we find the spaceship, will we leave the ideal star immediately?" Burleigh took a deep breath and said as if plucking up courage.
"Tell me what you think." Liu Fei glanced at Boehly quietly.
"Mr. Liu, we have also paid a lot for the ideal star, I think...... I think we deserve something in return......"
"Return?!"
"Ahem...... Mr. Liu, the ideal star is now in a state of wilderness, we can help them directly enter the interstellar age, in fact, without our help, they will grope in the dark for many years, it is better to ...... It's better to ......," Burleigh said.
Liu Fei frowned and looked at Boehly silently.
"I ...... I'm just talking, Mr. Liu doesn't need to ......"
"Why just talk? We have paid for it and we need to pay it back! ”
"Ah...... Yes, yes, we should get something in return, why don't we sign some contracts with Mr. Wei, for example, we are responsible for training a group of scientific and technological talents for Ideal Star, or establishing a school, and ...... And also...... We can sell the Ideal Star to other planets, or set up an interstellar travel agency...... If you think about it, this is a planet in the era of cold weapons, and it will definitely arouse the interest of many people, and I believe that everyone in the Seven Star Fields will be interested in what gladiator cavalry...... In short, as long as the ideal stars are unified and business opportunities are everywhere, it will be difficult for us not to get rich when the time comes...... Hehe......" The more Boehly spoke, the more excited he became, dancing with his hands.
"Yes, the war horses of the Ideal Star are stronger than the horses of the Seven Star Domains, if the horses of the Ideal Star are introduced into the Seven Star Domains, it will definitely arouse the love of some people, and we can build a racecourse in the Ideal Star......
"Yes, yes, we can also introduce some mechas, hovercars, virtual fighting rooms, ...... from the seven star fields."
"Well, some electronic components, hologram devices, etc., there are infinite business opportunities."
"Yes, yes, we can use the connections we have to directly produce mechas, why don't we recruit students now and set up a modern school......"
“……”
……
The more the two talked, the more energetic they became, and even Liu Fei, who had always been calm, was enthusiastically boiled by Boehly's thoughts.
For Liu Fei and Burleigh, who grew up in the Seven Star Domains, the ideal star is a blank sheet of paper on which the most beautiful pictures can be sketched.
