Chapter 420: The Struggle for Power
Yang Yi is a soldier, and Yu Linglong also obtained the Origin Converter after being taken seriously.
Yu Linglong did not arrange a spaceship, nor did she bring her entourage, and the two flew straight out of the mountain fortress.
This mountain is not only a fortress, but also the center of a group of bases. There are dozens of military bases scattered around the mountain peak, but most of them are empty, and less than a third of them are staffed, and none of them are full.
Yang Yi noticed that there was still a lot of heavy equipment in those bases where the army was stationed, and most of them were new equipment.
"This is the area under my jurisdiction, and the army you want is here."
"How many?"
"A hundred legions have been formed, but many of them are not fully staffed, and the actual strength is about 500,000."
"Equivalent to fifty legions."
Yu Linglong nodded slightly, and said: "What is lacking now is only manpower, weapons and equipment are in place, and more than half of the regiment has completed basic training, and there are enough officers, as long as they make up for the soldiers, they can be pulled out to fight." Of course, the logistics are still being arranged, and it will still take some time. However, as long as you are not involved in large-scale battles, logistics can come step by step. β
"How many soldiers?"
"Not much, we don't have too many Primal Energy Converters. However, at your request, we are recruiting all soldiers with the original body. In other words, as long as there is an Origin Converter and the necessary training, they can all become soldiers, but their combat power will not be much stronger. β
"So it's still a lack of training."
Yu Linglong sighed and said, "This is something that can't be helped. Although we have many channels, the technology to make the Primordial Converter is in the hands of the top civilizations. Not to mention the current war period, various civilizations have tightened their control. Even in peacetime. It's also hard to get a Primal Energy Converter. Not to mention anything else, among the core members of our Jade Family, there are still many people who do not have Origin Converters. Although I applied to borrow some Primal Energy Converters for training, until now, they have not been approved. Of course. Nor can anyone else be blamed for this. Truth be told, there aren't many people who believe you can turn things around, so not everyone thinks they should put their hopes in you. β
"You've invested elsewhere?" Yang Yi asked directly.
Yu Linglong nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Looks like I'm going to have to put on a good show." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "If I am compared to others, I'm afraid I will throw the Yu family into the trash." β
"It's not like that, it's just ......"
"Just kidding. Don't take it seriously. β
"Yang Yi, please believe, I absolutely trust you and absolutely support you. Regardless of the attitude above, I will do my best to assist you. β
"Sister Linglong, it seems that I started to say the wrong thing."
Yu Linglong sighed, she didn't mean to blame Yang Yi, and she blamed herself very much.
"That's right. Where did all that gear come from? Yang Yi changed the topic, after all, Yu Linglong was his main backer in the Yu family. There's no need to be too embarrassed.
"This is it."
"Here?"
Yu Linglong pointed into the distance and said, "There is an industrial area over there, there are dozens of factories, and all the weapons used by the army are produced there. β
"Let's take a look."
"Nope."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at Yu Linglong incomprehensibly.
"It's not up to me over there, and it's according to the rules. Even I can't just go by. β
"This ......"
"Thank you for your understanding."
"Okay, then tell me what weapons and equipment you can produce, what weapons and equipment you can't produce, and what kind of technology you lack."
"This ......"
"Obviously. Relying on these weapons and equipment now, it is enough to deal with the legions of the Silicon Charm Alliance, but it is obviously not enough to deal with the legions of the Lei Ling Clan. β
"Can you get the technology to produce advanced weapons and equipment?"
"Don't forget, I am the chief staff officer and royal advisor of the Star Weaver Clan, and the entire female warrior guard is under my command, and the Star Soul Empress also has special trust in me."
This time, it was Yu Linglong's turn to be surprised.
"Why, you don't know?" Yang Yi deliberately looked surprised, and then told the Star Soul Empress about appointing him as the chief staff officer and royal advisor.
"Wait a minute, I'll take you to the master."
"Sister Linglong, you're too anxious."
"There's no hurry, and it's time to hurry. You must know the meaning of these two titles, and with such an identity, no one will dare to underestimate you. β
"It's just a title."
"Isn't that enough?"
Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The Star Soul Empress is thousands of light years away, even if you say it, I'm afraid no one will believe it, and we can't prove it now." What's more, these are just two titles, and the intention of the Star Soul Empress is to make Otis and other female warriors absolutely obey my orders. Although with my relationship with the Star Soul Empress, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to ask for some advanced technology, but when it comes to the core interests of the Star Weaver Clan, it must be determined in advance, and after there is a guarantee, it is not too late to tell others. Of course, it would be more convincing if there were actual results, such as a few sets of samples, and the advanced technology that you need most right now. β
"This ......"
"Of course, I need to know what you need before I can ask Otis for it."
Yu Linglong nodded slightly and said, "It's inconvenient here, let's go back and talk about it." β
After a while, the two returned to Yu Linglong's room.
After turning on the light brain, Yu Linglong quickly called up the relevant information on arms production. Although it is all top-secret information, Yu Linglong is the supervisor and has access to it.
After a general browsing, Yang Yi found the key and sighed secretly.
Obviously, the Yu family has been preparing for war, and these materials related to the production of arms are the best evidence.
To put it simply, the Yu family's arms production technology is definitely no worse than that of the federal authorities. It can be said that the Jade family has all the relevant technologies mastered by the Human Federation, and they are more comprehensive. In addition, the Yu family has also mastered some advanced technologies from advanced civilizations, and even top civilizations, but they are not comprehensive, and some even have serious loopholes, so the weapons and equipment produced using these technologies are flawed.
There is no doubt that these techniques were definitely not acquired after the outbreak of war.
In other words, before the outbreak of the war, the Yu family obtained the technology of producing advanced weapons and equipment through various channels, and spent a lot of effort to research and improve it. Perhaps in the past thousand years, the Jade family has been secretly stealing advanced technology from high-level civilizations and top-level civilizations. Because the origin is not so glorious, the Yu family did not hand over these technologies to the federal authorities, let alone take the initiative to publicize them.
The problem is that these stolen technologies are all vulnerable, and they have been proven, but they can't be solved.
After thinking for a while, Yang Yi said: "It's not enough to have technology, the key is productivity." To put it simply, even if I can get advanced technology from the Weavers, will you be able to use it to create weapons, especially advanced weapons that can determine the outcome of this war? β
"Are you worried about our abilities?"
Yang Yi smiled reluctantly, he really meant that.
"You don't need to worry about this, if nothing else, just the production base here can build SSS-class warships, and we have more than enough channels to get the resources we need to build warships. It's not very efficient, but it's better than nothing. In addition, if we can recover some star systems, then with the ability of our Jade Family, we can use the colonized planets in these star systems within a few years. Yu Linglong paused slightly, and then said, "What we lack is technology, and key technologies such as building SSS-class warships have always been in the hands of top civilizations, and even the federal authorities can only obtain construction capabilities through imports or the introduction of talents." β
Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yu Linglong meant.
"Actually, you should think long-term."
"What do you mean?"
"Now, there aren't many people who know that you're allied with our Jade Family, and even fewer people know that we're secretly supporting you, so no one pays attention to you, and no one sees you as a real threat. It's just that after you go out from here with the army, regardless of the outcome of the subsequent battle, your relationship with the Yu family is no longer a secret. Obviously, at that time, not to mention the marshals of other war zones, I'm afraid that even Zhan Ruilin won't be able to tolerate you. β
"Really?"
"No matter what, as long as your relationship with the Weavers remains the same, we will fully support you. It's just that those in power will certainly not be so open-minded. If I were you, you'd lay the groundwork for yourself, such as acquiring a few star systems and establishing your own sphere of influence. β
"Is this necessary?"
"Why are you so naΓ―ve?" Yu Linglong was obviously a little speechless. "Do you think that a person in power like Zhan Ruilin would willingly give up the power in his hands? If you think I'm talking nonsense, then by the time you understand, I'm afraid it's too late. β
"Sister Linglong, I'm just asking."
"You ......"
"Anyway, you have to take it one step at a time, right?"
Yu Linglong glared at Yang Yi and couldn't give Yang Yi a slap.
"Well, you make a list as soon as possible, not too much, and focus on the key technologies that are urgently needed. Wait, I'll talk to Otis. Just don't get your hopes up. She's only the captain of the guard, and even if she can get these techniques, I'm afraid she'll have to ask the Star Soul Empress. In any case, I will bring it up directly to the Empress, and let the Empress know that this is the sincerity of the alliance with us. β
"Straight to the point?"
"Of course, I don't like to beat around the bush, and without even that sincerity, we have to think long-term."
Yu Linglong was slightly stunned and couldn't help but sigh.
"Also, don't publicize this matter for the time being. Don't tell anyone until I get the results, like you said, no one will voluntarily give up their power. Whatever those in power will do to keep power, it will be no different for those who hold real power here. β
Yu Linglong nodded, indicating that she understood what Yang Yi meant. (To be continued.) )
