Chapter 206: Lend-Lease Fleet Agreement
Third Sector, within the Nuland Empire.
Eliza stood in the command room, surrounded by projections of the operational status of the various battle systems.
The flash of fire shone on her face.
A large number of staff members are running around the command room, staggering data submissions and integrating intelligence.
"The Imperial Third Fleet has lost its combat capability!"
"The enemy has only 433 warships left, and the Combined Fleet of the Mutual Welfare Society will arrive in 75 minutes."
"The Ninda system has been breached, and we ask for reinforcements!"
....
A barrage of debriefings popped up in front of Eliza.
In addition to the fleet commander's handling, these battles also had to be seen by her, and such control was often terrifying.
The battle situation is not good.
Eliza was well aware of the situation.
Systems with broken gates are only 4 jump points away from the nearest battlefield.
Under the powerful fleet of the Co-Welfare Society, the power empire with the Stargate has only the option of surrendering.
But the combined fleet of the three alliances also followed, vowing to bite off this piece of fat.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was thinking about reducing their losses and waiting until the most powerful enemy was eliminated before fighting, I'm afraid the Kofukai wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
To put it simply, everyone is dragging until a party's resources can't keep up.
Battles are not only focused on the present, but also must be considered in the future.
If the resources are fought to the end and there is no defense, let alone the competition for strategic places, the coveting of the surrounding empires is not so easy to solve.
If you are not careful, it will be a loss to your wife and a soldier.
And Eliza was also waiting for time, until today, the communication that should have come has finally arrived.
During the meeting communication, the bearded man nodded slightly to Eliza in greeting.
"Fortunately, Miss Eliza." This person smiled, his face was ruddy, and it was obvious that he was constantly happy.
"Well, hats off, Mr. Osman."
Eliza also bowed her head slightly, and gave some sincerity to the ruler who was older than herself.
This time, she can be regarded as asking for him, and the etiquette she should have still has to give.
"We don't need to be so polite, let's get down to business." Looking at a serious Eliza, Osman simply spared the troublesome etiquette and went straight to the subject of both sides.
"Okay....."
Eliza nodded and began to work on the fleet lease project for this campaign.
Fleet Lend-Lease is a special project that can be carried out by a military empire.
At a more affordable price, give aid to the opponent's fleet of a group.
This would not violate the laws of war, but would also achieve the purpose of replenishing warships.
As for the price, it depends on the battleship's ability to fight.
However, the people are leasing the fleet, not buying and selling the fleet, and the aid fleet will not fight to the end, and it can retreat after receiving a certain amount of damage.
The current market price is 0.5%-1.5% of the cost of each battleship per day, at least one month.
The Ottoman Empire has just finished the conquest of the second sector and is in a stable state, and it also happens to have a lot of expanded warships.
When he received Eliza's loan request from the Nuland Empire, Ottoman was a little surprised.
I even thought about whether to take this opportunity to attack the Kofukai and annex the Bollywood Empire.
However, it is limited to the agreement signed between the Great Xia Empire and the Nuland Empire to ensure the security of the wormhole galaxy, so it can only be abandoned.
"30% of the battle damage, the lease limit of 600,000 energy coins ......"
Osman looked at the Lend-Lease agreement sent by Eliza, thought for a while, and asked, "How many warships do you want?" ”
"All the amount, if you can, all the battleships, as long as you can provide it."
Eliza's expression remained unchanged, as if she was a Middle Eastern tyrant and replied without bargaining.
Ottoman snorted lightly, "Do you think that my Ottoman Empire can't provide so many warships?" ”
What a big breath woman, with a quota of 600,000, you can rent hundreds of battleships.
And the daily fleet rent is at least 600 units of energy coins, so much of the resource output of the Nuland Empire?
Eliza shook her head slightly, "This is our first time working together, and I have given enough sincerity to believe that you will arrange it properly." ”
Osman looked at her for a moment, then smiled approvingly, "Interesting, you're quite stylish." ”
Eliza didn't reply, just waited for the other party to agree.
The price she gave for this lease order was not low, and the maintenance cost of the fleet was also paid by the Nuland Empire, and after calculation, the Ottoman Empire was able to earn nearly 500,000 energy coins in a short period of time, and the profit was rich enough.
So she was confident enough that the Ottomans would agree to the Lend-Lease agreement.
"Well, it's not impossible to supply all the battleships, it's just that I also need part of the fleet to defend the border."
Sure enough, the Ottomans agreed to the project and gave the number of fleets they could provide.
"So, this time I will supply 200 battleships, 1300 heavy cruisers, and 900 destroyers."
"This is actually more than the limit, even if I gave it to you, but the rental fee is still calculated as usual."
With the Ottomans' rather proud words, the number of fleets appeared on the Lend-Lease agreement.
When it comes to sincerity, this proposal is amazing enough.
Eliza was also a little surprised, and replied in a slightly grateful tone: "Although we are not close partners, you have won my friendship, and the Nuland Empire will establish diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire, I hope you will not refuse." ”
After the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two empires, the exchanges between the two sides will grow explosively.
If the Ottoman Empire and the Nuland Empire established diplomatic relations, there would be signs of a strong alliance between the two military empires.
Osman did not refuse, nor did he immediately agree, but after leaving an inexplicable smile, he withdrew from the communication.
Eliza looked at the electronic image that remained after the other party exited, and pondered for a moment.
Regardless of the intentions of the other side, there is now an Ottoman fleet.
There will be a turning point in the war in the Third Sector.
"Winston, contact the economic department, increase the earnings, and guarantee that the average earnings per day for this month will be more than 750 points!"
Eliza contacts the Star Governor to initiate an order, which is the goal to be achieved no matter what.
The Nuland Empire itself has only reached 500 Energy Coins per day.
The income from trade and vassalage is good, with hundreds of thousands of dollars per month, but this part must be guaranteed on the operation of the fleet.
They are transported to the various docks almost all the time.
The demand for professionals has also increased the load of consumer goods in the empire, and now the income is already in a flat state, if the war situation is no longer unfavorable, it will inevitably fall into a landslide and enter a negative growth stage.
Winston, who was slightly obese, quickly withdrew from the newsletter and immediately assembled a team to execute a temporary earnings growth plan.
There are many projects that can be operated for temporary growth like this.
Intensify production and dumping, and semi-compulsory trade exchanges.
Squeeze the subjects, squeeze the members of the alliance.
Or, allow some smuggling to increase additional revenue..... Wait a minute.
There are many methods, and the main thing that Xingdu has to consider is the impact it will have in the future.
And this third star zone must be contested, and now it seems that there is going to be an ending....
