Chapter Ninety-Four: Transactions
Back in the room, Qin Feng wanted to contact Rogge, but before he could sit down, he heard a knock on the door outside.
"Is Lord Qin Feng here?"
Qin Feng opened the door and felt a little surprised, it turned out to be Laclair, the commander of the guard army, and he was followed by a subordinate officer.
"General, please come in." Qin Feng stretched out his hand and let him into the house.
Raclair turned to the officer and said, "Stay at the door, don't let anyone approach." Then he walked into Qin Feng's room.
Qin Feng let Laclair to the table and sat down separately, Qin Feng asked, "I don't know what General Laclair is doing here?" β
Raclair hurriedly said, "My lord, I'm here to ask you for advice. β
"The general is gracious."
"Your Excellency, you also know the current situation, if I want to organize Star City to resist, I don't know what to do?"
"This ......," Qin Feng pondered, "This is a big problem, it depends on the level of the general, if it is said that the subordinate race fleet is not allowed to attack, it is actually very simple, only Star City needs to completely close the passage." β
Racle thought about it and nodded slightly.
"But my lord, what if the opposing fleet fortified it around this space, cut off our open passage, and trapped us here?" After all, Laclay is the army controller of Star City, and his military literacy is much higher than Qin Feng's, and he also knows the current state of Star City best.
Qin Feng smiled slightly, "This, can the general tell me that the location of Star City's opening passage is fixed?" β
"Well, of course, the position can be adjusted, but judging from the current state of Star City, it can almost be regarded as fixed."
"If it can be adjusted at any time, then if the opposing fleet wants to trap here, it needs to invest more warships, which requires time and unified scheduling, and it is impossible from the perspective of the scale of the fleets that come alone, unless it is the Protoss to coordinate and mobilize more fleets in the star field."
"If it's basically fixed, then Star City wants to defend the opponent's fleet outside of space, and it's very stressful."
Qin Feng paused, and then said, "It is estimated that the subordinate races will not have the ability to break through the space, but it is difficult to say about the Protoss, especially those divine warriors with the weapons of the Protoss. Once the subordinate races are unable to break through this space, they may ask the Protoss to deal with it, and then they will be all wiped out. β
When Laclay heard this, his face also became extremely bad, "So it's difficult to defend Star City?" β
"I have a question, I wonder if the general can tell me the truth?" Qin Feng didn't answer, but asked a question.
"My lord, excuse me." Raclair has some six gods without a master.
"How many troops and warships are there in Star City?"
Qin Feng asked the last question about the details of Star City.
"There are about 10,000 guards in Star City, which could have been more, but there is a lack of food at present, and it is difficult to afford more troops. There are now 17 battleships in the guard, most of them frigates, and some are not in my control. The magistrate had two in his hands, Rocky had five, and the lord had another in his own hands. β
"Is there something the General knows?"
"Your Excellency, please speak."
"A few days ago, Rocky and I found a passage jammer in a weapons shop, and the city lord said it could interfere with the closure of the jump passage." Qin Feng said seemingly casually.
"What?" Raclair almost jumped up, and his reaction was extremely violent, "If the passage can't be closed, then the opponent's fleet can use the passage to drive straight in, and catch us off guard, even if you want to defend, it is extremely difficult." β
"For such an urgent matter, why didn't the city lord inform the guards?" Racle was a little depressed, apparently knowing why.
Looking at Laclay's appearance, Qin Feng was even more sure of the suspicions in his heart.
"Actually, as I just said, it is very difficult to defend the opposing fleet outside of space, but it does not mean that it is completely impossible to defend."
"Tell me, my lord, how to defend it?" Raclair was so anxious that he propped his hand on the table and asked.
Qin Feng remembered the movie of tunnel warfare he watched when he was a child, and said with a smile, "First of all, I want to ask this space, has Star City only opened up two passages?" β
Laclaire was also taken aback, "The adults have really got a lot of information, yes, there are only two passages. β
"That's good, you can send a fleet to defend the exit of the two passages, but don't close them completely, so that the opponent's fleet can't pour in in large numbers, slowly put in the opponent's fleet, come in and destroy one, you won't face the attack of a large number of opponent's warships, and the jammers placed by the opponent in advance will not play a big role."
This world generally uses a large number of fleets to attack, and rarely uses any tactics, so when Qin Feng said this, Lacle's eyes lit up, "Good way, so that we can always maintain an advantage." β
"Your Excellency, you are smart."
Qin Feng paused again, then thought for a while and continued, "If the number of opponents' fleets is large, if they want to occupy Star City, they will definitely carry out landing operations, based on the calculation of more than 100 warships on the other side, the maximum number of troops is only two or three hundred thousand, of course, except for the case of large troop carriers, this time it is estimated that the opponent's troops will not exceed 500,000, and the soldiers who can be put on landing operations will never exceed 400,000." Star City Defense can completely use the battleship to contain the opponent's warship, and let the opponent's troop carrier drop soldiers into Star City, as long as it is organized to annihilate it in batches, the other party will not be wiped out more or less. β
"400,000 soldiers, this is too much, the total population of Star City is less than 200,000." Laclaire was clearly frightened by the number.
Qin Feng took a sip of water and continued, "It seems that the other party can put a lot of people into landing operations, but due to the limited surface area of Star City, the landing ships or troop carriers are very large, and it is definitely impossible to let multiple troop carriers put more soldiers at the same time. β

"Gao Ming, my lord's idea is really clever." Raclair's eyes were almost starry when he heard this, and his confidence had regained a lot.
But immediately he thought of something, and his expression froze.
"But my lord, if you want to organize more defensive forces, there is a lack of supplies in Star City, the first few times the city lord sent people to purchase supplies, there was no news, and now Cold Moon City is about to run out of ammunition, and there are not many crystal coins in stock."
"Even if it's too late to make external purchases now, let's not say whether the other party can let us out."
"I heard that the adults are going to make a deal with Rocky in front of us, so I wonder if the adults will be willing to help us." Racle said with some pleading.
Qin Feng ignored his request, and just said slowly, "I did reach an agreement with Rocky and the City Lord before, and I also brought food, but I had already made a lot of sacrifices and concessions that time, and I just asked the City Lord to use the star map in his possession to trade. β
"If the general wants to trade with me, I don't know what kind of equivalent can be offered in exchange?"
"What do grown-ups want?"
Qin Feng didn't even look at him, "I still have the original trading conditions, that is, I also need the space technology that the Protoss is interested in, as well as the construction drawings of Star City." β
"It's ......," Lacleton snapped.
Lacle smiled awkwardly, "My lord, I don't have to say this, even if I do, I don't have what the adults ask for." β
"It's true that I'm the lord's younger brother, but I'm just an illegitimate child, and I've never been favored, at the beginning of the war, I was just a petty officer in the army, and when the lord hurriedly withdrew, he took me with me, and in the end, when he died in battle, I was the only direct male, so he threw me the position of the guard."
"But this Star City has always been controlled by Elise, and the guard force of Star City has not been strengthened at all for more than a year, and the battleship has not been well maintained, and now it is good to be able to take to the air to fight."
Seeing that Qin Feng was unmoved, Lacle thought for a long time and said, "Is it possible for the adults to use population as a transaction at the beginning?" β
"Oh? Didn't the general oppose this kind of employment in the first place? Qin Feng was surprised.
Laclay sighed helplessly, "Once the war starts, human life is the least valuable, who cares about whom, I don't know what the outcome of this battle will be, even if it is a victory, it is estimated to be a miserable victory, adults can take some more, wouldn't it be better to let these people live." β
"First of all, I don't want to be burdensome, skilled personnel are preferred, don't send those boring officials over, and send me to be killed." After Qin Feng made a request, he said, "What do you need?" β
"I don't expect your lordship to send warships to help you fight, I guess not only those officials won't agree, but even the lord of the castle won't agree. I just need some equipment and information from my lords, we are desperately short of provisions, and the guards are simply not capable of fighting. β
"And how much do you need?"
"I need 10,000 sets of equipment for soldiers and food for 20,000 people for seven days."
"Oh? The food is easy to manage, I can provide you with interstellar standard food, according to the wartime supply requirements of one per person per day, but 10,000 sets of equipment is a little difficult, and I am afraid it will be a little too late to produce. β
"How much can the adults offer?"
"I can only deliver five thousand sets in three days."
Lacle gritted his teeth, "Five thousand sets are fine, but I have a request, this transaction is also required to be kept secret, and the delivery of materials also needs to be hidden from others first, especially the city lord, I am afraid that there will be obstacles at that time." β
"That's fine." Qin Feng thought to himself, you came to the City Lord's Mansion so boldly, can Elise still know? Besides, this is the Lord's Palace, and it's Elise's territory, so how do you know there are no listening devices here?
But he didn't point it out, but continued, "The general can deploy the warship near the exit of the passage in the name of patrolling. β
"When the time comes, you find an excuse to scout the information, and I will transport it directly from the passage in a small transport ship. You'll need to get your personnel ready and load them onto the patrol ships, and we'll trade them directly when the time comes. Qin Feng suggested.
After negotiating the conditions, Laclay didn't stay, "Okay, then I won't bother much." β
Laclay left a communicator behind before leaving, and then said to Qin Feng, "My lord, when I'm ready, we can use this to communicate directly." "I want to talk about "Rise of the Void" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
