From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 215 Emergency Fleet Expansion

"So the public opinion detected so far mainly comes from Mary Bay Industries, Yaoguang Defense and the Timler family of the Star Dragon Empire?"

"Yes, the common characteristic of the three of them is that they have all been tricked by you."

There was a burst of laughter in the office of the intelligence analysis team.

"Ahem, you intelligence officers need to be strict in what you say. How can you call it a trap?"

Amber, who was sitting in the main seat, twisted her neck unconsciously, and then continued:

"Let's get down to business. According to the information you have collected, Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense issued a joint statement to respond to the unfair competition they have encountered recently? And the Timler family has also found the head of our Atlas. superior?"

"Yes, so we are very likely to face attacks from multiple directions at the same time."

"I understand the truth, and I can also guess the actions of Mary Bay Industries, but I still can't figure out why the Timler family can find us. Is there a mole among the miners who has leaked the secret?"

"We have also conducted investigations on this."

"If Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense jointly dispatched, while maintaining their own daily operations, they should be able to pull out a 15-20 ship escort detachment and equip it with a light cruiser as the flagship.

Although dozens of destroyers and frigates are not even a drop in the bucket in the navy of the Federation and the Empire.

"How many enemies do we need to deal with if we assume the worst?"

“With Atlas’s current funds, how many ships can it purchase in the second-hand ship market?”

Listen to the intelligence that Isabel compiled through the current intelligence network and the information provided by Orns and Cliffs.

"The capabilities of the Financial Business Department are indeed very strong. If we include the funds they will gradually recover in the past few days, we can purchase 3-4 more destroyers in a short period of time. The specific situation needs to be considered based on the actual market price. ”

While talking, Isabel opened another graphic investigation report.

Amber found that this group of people was indeed not that easy to deal with.

But there is nothing wrong with this sentence even if it is applied to the current situation.

The Timler family has not started negotiations with us yet, but if they are determined to cause trouble, judging from the strength of their family and the title of the family leader, 12% will dispatch a escort detachment of 15- ships. Moreover, the proportion of destroyers will be relatively high, and it is also very likely to be equipped with a light cruiser. "

Amber was a little helpless, but she really didn't think of a better solution at the time.

Amber rested her elbows on the table and crossed her hands on the bridge of her nose like a commander.

Speaking of this, Isabel had to say in an admiring tone:

"It seems that the fleet expansion plan must be started in advance. Originally, I wanted to develop it for a while."

'Spy Chief' Isabel said:
"However, the mining site in the asteroid belt has only one way to communicate with the outside world. Only the high-power communication device on the operational base can do this. We have checked the communication records from the time we took over to the present and found no abnormalities, so we have temporarily ruled out the possibility of an insider. possible."

"Tsk, I knew these people were unreliable."

After all, as long as there are traces of Lilith that cannot be removed through the Internet, they will always be discovered by someone who is interested.

"At present, we suspect that the most likely possibility is the black market doctors who removed the 'slave chip' at that time. These guys have no professional ethics, and people from the Timler family have indeed been frequently inquiring about information on the black market recently."

But in the current stage of the corporate war, just judging from the number of ships participating in the war, it can already be called a 'battle of bankruptcy for the loser'.

Everything you walk leaves behind a trace, although this is the famous saying of Edmond Rocca, the father of forensics.

"The funds obtained from the previous sale of the two Peregrine Falcons have all been used to expand the mining team. The current funds on the company's account mainly come from the income of Atlas Mining and the funds recently obtained by the 'Financial Business Department'. "

"That is to say, the fleet can only expand to six destroyers in a short period of time, which is still a little too few. A head-on battle will definitely not be enough."

"We also need to consider whether the training speed of the crew during this period can keep up."

Listening to Isabel's words, Amber couldn't help but fall into silence.

Looking at Amber, who had been thinking but had no clue, Isabel, Atlas's current 'secret agent', slowly said:

"Our intelligence analysis team has an idea." Amber raised her head and looked at the team in front of her, led by Isabel, with a few surviving electronic warfare technicians as the backbone, and a group of 'cat girls' as basic staff. Intelligence Team.

Finally nodded.

"Speak your mind."

"It's very simple. We are going to put on a good show where the crane and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins."

The method Isabel and the others came up with was very simple, which was to use the information gap between the two parties to muddy the water.

Although Atlas does not yet know about Lilith's existence, core employees still know that Amber possesses powerful network information warfare capabilities, and has recently developed black technology for real-time communication in nearby galaxies.

Since they have such ability, it is completely possible for the other party's intelligence personnel to be overwhelmed by a large amount of false intelligence, and ultimately draw wrong conclusions in the chaos.

It would be best if the other party can use wrong intelligence to lead the fleets of Mary Bay Industries, Yaoguang Defense and Timler Family to the engagement area arranged by Atlas after dispatching the fleet.

With the current relationship between the Federation and the Empire, if the timing is just right, everyone in Atlas can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch a big show.

But the premise of all this is to make the other party believe wrong information.

After listening to Isabel's words, Amber seemed to be awakened and quickly figured out some of the joints.

"Network information warfare is one aspect. We really need to muddy the water. If we want the other party to take the bait completely, we may need Randall and Cliffs to act. It just so happens that Hermes, Ari The Si number is quite suitable for this work.”

Amber rapped the table with the knuckle of her index finger.

"Let's just follow the general direction. I'll leave the details to everyone in the intelligence analysis team. I will also seize the time to expand our own fleet. We need to be strong ourselves. If we want to make things happen when they both lose, we ourselves The strength cannot be too weak.”

Just when the financial terrorists received Amber's instructions to "make money quickly, brothers", they urgently opened up a new track of making foreign exchange spreads.

Inside the newly put into use Atlas Equipment Manufacturing and R&D Center in Babel Manor.

The atmosphere between Eugene Koch and Ornes seemed awkward.

After all, Oens had planned to use special means to 'violently recruit' Eugene some time ago.

Now suddenly the two parties became colleagues in a new company, and the other party also became the director of the R&D center because he joined the company earlier and "brought money to join".

Moreover, all the equipment and skilled workers in the current research center are all packed and brought here from Trident Studio, so to be honest, Eugene still has a lot of say.

Although Orns, as the deputy director, did not pay too much attention to his position as deputy director, after all, the salary Amber offered him was enough for him to forget all his dissatisfaction.

But when facing Eugene, he still felt that he had a "different feeling in his heart".

"Mr. Oearns Mr. Oearns?"

Eugene waved his hand in front of Orns' eyes, pulling the distracted guy back.

"Sorry." Oens looked a little embarrassed.
"When I see you, I will unconsciously think of what happened before. Now that I think about it, what I did at that time was still too radical."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Oens, at least with the Boss's intervention, the bad ending didn't happen, right?"

Eugene smiled. As a rough-and-tumble person, he no longer had the initial sympathy for Oens during this period.

What's more, everyone is working at Atlas now and they are all colleagues.

“I also hope you can adjust as soon as possible, so that we can complete the finalization of the first-generation individual combat exoskeleton system as soon as possible and put it into mass production.

If you want to follow Boss's plan and equip all the company's marines with exoskeletons, this will be a big challenge. "

Looking at Eugene's energetic smile, Orns couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he first entered the industry.

After completely letting go of something buried deep in his heart, Oens also smiled and turned on the holographic projection device on the design desk.

"Then let's get started, Director Eugene."
