With the appointment from Meng Zong, Zhao Jian officially became the first commander of this new army of the empire, and became a real "admiral"!

However, although the official will provide money and weapons to fund the Zhao ship, the empire will never admit that it has anything to do with this force until it achieves a final victory in the true sense. Mengzong even allowed Zhao Jian to take the initiative to fight against the Tang army at the necessary moment in order to confuse the judgment of other forces.

At present, the actual soldiers of this new army are only a few hundred people under Zhao Jian, but Meng Zong gave Zhao Jian a Swiss bank account with a deposit of up to 50 million US dollars, which he can use to recruit troops. For the emperor's respect and trust, although Zhao Jian was moved, he was more puzzled.

Zhao Jian knows very well that his current family status belongs to "lonely people", and relatives who are related by blood are either no longer alive or have become passers-by. In other words, the royal family could not find a "hostage" from him that could be seized, and just because "he couldn't tie the dog chain", Zhao Jian's "loyalty" should be very problematic in the eyes of the royal family. At this time, Meng Zong seemed to see his doubts and asked with a smile.

"What? Feeling a little flattered? ”

"Yes, sort of!"

"Do your best! As long as you can do your best for this empire, on the day of the reward, I may consider marrying one of my sisters to you! ”

"Huh!?"

Hearing Meng Zong say that he wanted to reward himself with a princess, Zhao Jian was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what the royal family was planning to do.

"Feelings, this is going to 'beg for seeds' with me!"

After experiencing the "inheritance ceremony" not long ago, the royal family can be said to have a very deep understanding of Zhao Jian's "tonic value".

Originally, Mengzong wanted to put Zhao Jian under house arrest in the palace at the beginning and keep it for "unforeseen needs", but both the Yellow Emperor and Li Ti expressed strong opposition. Instead of using this tough method, it is better to use the Huairou policy, Li Ti even proposed to make peace, wanting to introduce the ancient human blood on Zhao Jian's body into the royal bloodline.

And in this way. Unless Zhao Jian had an objection from the beginning, then as long as he became a relative of the emperor, his loyalty would definitely increase significantly.

After figuring out this middle joint, Zhao Jian happily took the order to retreat.

Zhao Jian's desire for power is not great, and the "otaku thoughts" left over from his previous life make him have no interest in governing such a huge country, and the "Easy King" who just eats, drinks and has fun is his ultimate ideal!

Soon the 2 weeks passed in a blink of an eye, and Meng Zong and the Auxiliary Governor left to inspect other areas after attending the opening ceremony, while Zhao Jian submitted a leave of absence to the dean of education only a week after the start of the school year. The other party was not like the school leaders in his middle school. I had to talk hard to ink with him for a while, and the director, who wore the rank of major general, happily stamped him, and saluted him after handing it over to Zhao Jian.

"Don't disgrace the Navy and the school."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

This time to march to the Shattered Star Zone, Zhao Jian mobilized all the combat forces at hand, both light and dark. Originally, he had plans to develop in the Shattered Star Region, but Meng Zong's order could only be said to be pushing the boat down the river and helping him again.

At present, the hull on Zhao's hand includes 2 Kong-class battle cruisers, 2 Canalias-class heavy cruisers, three Bailu-class destroyers and cargo ships that are enough to undertake logistics support. The limited crew of the Zhao ship only needs to be responsible for the logistics personnel.

And in other areas of armament. Zhao Jian also from the German Ernst. The Heinkel Aircraft Company ordered 24 HE-112B1 fighters. Its prototype has competed with the BF109 for the next generation of the Luftwaffe's main model, and its performance is enough to be equal to the BF109, and even has a certain advantage in some values such as speed.

It's a pity that the structure of such a fighter is complex. And the excessive pursuit of curve configuration, which is not conducive to large-scale production, so in the end it failed to beat the BF109, whose performance is not much worse than it, but these problems are not a problem here in Zhao Jian, which is not in high demand. In the case that Zhao Jian took the initiative to increase the price by 5%. All of these fighters were delivered to Zhao in January, and the other party also sent a lot of spare parts wrapped in oil-paper for free.

In addition to these more "conventional" heavy weapons, Zhao Jian also specially modified an armored machine for the gravity-free environment of the Shattered Star Zone. That is the "Flying Wolf" based on the Tang Army's Sky Wolf medium-sized mecha!

At the beginning, in the research and development of the army's heavy equipment, Zhao Jian also thought about developing tracked tanks, but he soon found that in this time and space when the navy is too strong, the combat effect of large-scale armored clusters will be very unsatisfactory.

That is to say, if Germany can't play something new in the future, and still engage in "blitzkrieg" according to the way of play in another time and space, the German Army will be taught to be a man by the French Navy!

Therefore, Zhao Jian only developed two prototypes as technical reserves, and then focused on the development of space-based mechas.

The complex environment of the Shattered Star Region is destined to be unsuitable for the conventional army and large ships to exert their combat effectiveness, and small warships and fighter planes also have their own limitations, so Zhao Ship had a whim, based on the best comprehensive performance of the Tang Army, a special type for operations in the Shattered Star Zone.

They installed a "range hood" shaped flight pack on the back of the wolf, with two air hoses fixed to the legs, so that the pilot could control the flight direction of the mecha with his legs.

In addition, they have upgraded their armor and improved the airtightness of the cockpit, and the foot components have been replaced with three-toed bird's feet with the ability to grasp the surface of the asteroid instead of the iron-toed shoes that used to have a certain combat effect.

In the gravityless shattered star region, the maximum speed of the flying wolf can soar to about 140 kilometers per hour, which can be said to be just right for the shattered star region filled with a large number of asteroids and rocks. In some high-density areas where warships can't get in and fighters can't get in and out, the Flying Wolf can easily get through with its full speed and flexibility.

But after the first test flight, the test pilot said that the old observation equipment of Sky Wolf was very difficult to use in the three-dimensional space, and there were too many dead ends. So Zhao Jian and his researchers specially developed a new hemispherical head for the flying wolf, which can be linked with the pilot's helmet, and the periscope lens has a 360° field of view.

But this kind of transformation has made the originally handsome Sky Wolf suddenly ugly!

Especially with a hemispherical new head, the neck is gone, not to mention, the white ball wall and the blackened lens make it feel like a big eye ball directly on the shoulder.

Fortunately, the test pilot said that the flying wolf driving experience was very comfortable, and it felt as enjoyable as if he was flying.

"It's ugly that people don't want to drive, but you can't stop driving it!" (To be continued......)
