422 'Deterrence' class warships

After leaving the Garil Constellation and returning to Falla, Russell first issued 3 decrees.

1. Close the borders, and the Human Federation will no longer accept immigrants and refugees of any kind from now on

2. Trade control, all foreign trade in the Far Eastern Star Domain must be monitored and controlled by the army from now on, and the underground black market that once turned a blind eye and allowed it to grow savagely will be completely cut off

3. Armament reform, the giant dockyard will no longer build more armed ships from now on, due to some special threat, the principle of "can be used" will replace the once refined armament concept, and the Federation of Mankind officially began to produce low-cost "deterrence" class warships

Grey Wind obediently sent his decision out, but she still had doubts about Russell's approach.

The 'Deterrence' class warship is a war concept that can only be adopted after a civilization truly incarnates a natural disaster.

This particular type of ship is 'fanatical', 'paranoid', 'extreme', 'sacrificial'...... Synonymous with other words, all the cost of the whole ship of the Deterrent-class battleship is focused on the two aspects of attack and mobility, and the armor and defense parts related to the life of the crew are better than nothing - in fact, the Deterrent-class battleship does not even have the most basic energy shield, and the Void Shield and the Dark Matter Deflection Shield are not to be expected.

The energy that should have supplied the shield generator was used to mount more weapons in pursuit of greater damage, and any cumbersome armor was removed in pursuit of greater speed and maneuverability.

Inflicting maximum damage on the enemy in the shortest possible time is the only concept of building a Deterrent-class warship.

As for the damage rate of the ship and the survival rate of the crew, these inconsequential things are not considered by the Deterrent-class warship at all, and it is the lifelong pursuit of the ship designer to have 101 martyrs among the 100 crew members, which is one of the reasons why only the civilization that incarnates after the natural disaster can build the Deterrent-class warship.

Only a natural disaster civilization that has completely fallen into the madness of war can withstand the huge casualties caused by the massive installation of deterrent-class warships, and will not cause social collapse due to the high war weariness caused by successive suicide attacks.

So can the current Federation of Humans afford this concept of warfare that treats human life as a consumable?

Absolutely, easily.

In fact, under the backdrop of the anthropomorphic rule of the human empire, even the extreme and crazy war concept of the deterrent-class battleship seems to be so affectionate.

It is better to say that many people are surprised that the bullet star has not started to use human life as a consumable until today, such a benevolent approach makes people can't help but burst into tears, and for a while, the whole society is sighing that the star bulleter is really a good leader who is sympathetic to the people......

What makes Grey Wind wonder is why Russell would start military reform at such a time and let the giant dockyard start producing Deterrent-class warships?

"In response to a runaway correction agreement." Russell said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Gray Feng's face turned pale, and she immediately inspected the hull of the ship, and found that the main engine of Suzheng was still locked in the cabin of the gray Gu mothership unharmed, whether it was the time loop cage or the physical cover, everything was normal, and there was no sign of getting out of trouble.

“…… But the Rectification Agreement has not been extricated? Grey Wind asked, confused.

"Let's just let it get out of trouble." Russell patted Grey Wind on the shoulder:

"Preparing for the worst is like calling the consumer hotline before you go shopping, taking a few alcoholic pills before drinking, and contacting your insurance company and explaining your will to a lawyer before you go out on a boat...... Whenever anything bad happens, we should treat it as if it has already happened and deal with it with all our might. ”

Gray Wind blinked, "Could it be that some overreaction?" The impact of military reform to this extent covers all aspects of the entire society, and the lives of many ordinary citizens will be affected, and the impact on the economy will be even greater, and the losses will be difficult to measure......"

"Just do it." Russell did not waver in the slightest: "As for the quality of life of ordinary citizens ... Who cares? Do you care? ”

Grey Wind shook his head repeatedly, "I don't care. ”

She just thought Russell would care.

Russell's three words as light as dust fell like three mountains, and the Human Federation began a comprehensive reform.

The first to be hit was the underground black market, where various resources, industrial products, and technological products were traded privately, and the hidden trade routes were cleanly cut off, leaving no room for resistance.

Every citizen of the Human Federation has had a nano-implant implanted in his brain stem since birth, and every wisp of thought of every member of this polity is under Gestalt surveillance, and any form of information is something that Grey Wind does not want to know, and there is nothing that cannot be known.

The black market used to flourish with the acquiescence of the federal government, but now that this tacit agreement has been broken, both the empire and the federation have suffered a huge shock.

On the Imperial side, the dignitaries who cherish their lives have an infinite demand for artificial blackstones that can isolate the influence of subspace, and Soul Purification Field Generators that purify chaos pollution, and the casting worlds of the major mechanical guilds are also eager to study the various creations of Qunxing Technology.

With the black market channels cut off and the high taxes to be paid through the official trade channels of the Order of Truth, the prices of a large number of industrial luxury goods represented by artificial black stone began to rise sharply, and a large number of merchants with a keen sense of smell took this opportunity to stock up and soar in value.

On the part of the Federation, as a legal tender, the 'psionic dust' is also an important energy source to support the normal operation of various psionic devices, due to the cutting off of the huge underground trading network, the Federation has lost a large amount of psionic dust from unknown sources provided by the imperial black merchants, and the speed at which the psionic dust produced by the Spiritual Ranch in Koronia is far from keeping up with the daily consumption of a large amount of equipment of the Truth Order.

As the stock of psionic dust became smaller and smaller, its value became higher and higher, prices began to fall, and the federal society ushered in a round of inexplicable deflation.

The second is the problem of refugees caused by the closure of the borders, the federal government has been gentle on the large number of fugitives from all parts of the human empire in the past, anyone who is willing to accept the scan of the brain by nanoimplants, and renounce faith in the emperor, the human federation welcomes all fellow human beings to join.

However, with the issuance of the Bullet Star Decree, one key Stargate port after another was closed, the heavily armed fleet and army blocked all trade routes, and the Far Eastern Star Domain no longer accepted refugee ships.

The soldiers watched indifferently as the refugee ships that had exhausted their resources during the long escape were turned away from the border, and their remaining energy and food were no longer enough to sustain them adrift to another manned planet.

People with nowhere else to go cried in their cabins begging for extrajudicial mercy from the army that blocked the border, and after countless calls to the name of the bullet star received no response, the people fell into despair.

As time passed, hunger and violence began to spread through the stinking and overcrowded cabins of refugee ships, and the Union soldiers struggled to keep themselves from thinking about what refugees desperately starved of food and water would eat and drink in the cabins to stay alive.

It's the 61st year of the 40th millennium, and the galaxy is filled with all the bloody atrocities you can think of that that exterminated humanity.

Just like every year before.
