Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 1018

In this way, the enemy's strategic sneak attack on the logistics cargo ship is ignored, and the frontline army is provided with stable and sufficient strategic resource support. The army supported by the strategic cargo ship often has an extremely long combat distance and combat time, and even if used properly , an army can carry out long-term battles anywhere in the world for all mankind!

This is impossible for any fleet that relies on the support of conventional cargo ships. For example, in the war between the Estar Federation and the Tianxin Legion, the logistics line was cut off by the free robot force, and its huge fleet can only support it. It's only ten days.

As for the voyage in space, which often takes days or tens of days, the loss of logistical support is undoubtedly a very fatal blow to the army!

Therefore, the strategic cargo ship has become a heavy weapon of a big country, and it is also a symbol of strength. However, from a rational point of view, small countries, mid-level countries, and forces of the same strength have limited territorial area, and the probability of ultra-long-distance combat is very low. .

For them, this kind of strategic cargo ship is really a pity that they are tasteless and tasteless. To maintain a strategic cargo ship is quite far away from maintaining two conventional combat starships. It is really an expensive "decoration". That's all.

Back at the Canglan Starfield, what Luo Guozhi noticed at the time was that this strategic cargo ship had been in service for another 70 years, reaching 270 years, which can be said to be very old.

The "meritorious ship" in the mouth of the Inca Empire is because it is a starship that participated in the war between the World Alliance and the Kingdom of Odin.

In that war-torn era, this strategic cargo ship was once the only remaining strategic cargo ship in the Inca Empire. It assumed the important responsibility of local logistics to supply strategic materials to the front line. Under his wise command, he turned the crisis into safety.

It has strongly supported countless combat missions of the coalition forces, and was completely repaired after the war, becoming a prestigious "meritorious ship" for the public to visit and admire.

With the passage of the post-war peace era, people of the older generation who participated in or lived in that era gradually passed away, and the new generation of people did not have such deep feelings for that period of history, and this meritorious ship gradually disappeared from everyone. It faded away from the field of vision, and the empire has to provide it with a huge maintenance fee every year.

So, as a matter of course, once again in the Imperial Parliament, a member raised objections to this waste of resources, and claimed that the empire's original victory did not need to be displayed with an old starship, instead of spending so much money every year, It is better to use it to improve the living conditions of the residents of remote galaxies.

In this way, the congressman's proposal became a motion. After two years of argumentation, it was finally approved by the Imperial Parliament with an advantage of two votes. Instead of investing money in maintaining this "meritorious ship", it was transferred to Funds were raised from the private sector for daily maintenance.

The military also completely dismantled the internal equipment-mainly the super energy reactor, and the corresponding engine propulsion system.

After that, the capital raised by the people only lasted for no more than 7 years, and it was declared powerless, and the maintenance and donation of this "meritorious ship" was completely stopped. In this way, this huge strategic cargo ship , it was docked in a simple space port among the people, and gradually no one cared about it for 19 years.

Until three months before Luo Guozhi's arrival, a certain business group bought the ownership of the remote and desolate planet where the strategic cargo ship was located, because several rare resources that had not been detected before were discovered on this planet.

And the space port it occupies will be transformed into a future mineral resources transfer base, and the huge body of the strategic cargo ship has formed an obstacle.

It’s not that they didn’t think about transforming it, but the limitations of the transforming it are too large to meet the various needs of the mining base, and the cost is 1.3 times that of the new building. They finally chose to dismember it and invite public bidding.

Luo Guozhi, who is rich and powerful, had the idea of ​​acquiring this strategic cargo ship, and obtained the agreement very easily, and bought this strategic cargo ship that had become an empty shell at an extremely low price that was almost equivalent to scrap metal.

It cost a huge amount of money to contact 11 large-scale conventional space transport ships, and it took more than 9 months to tow it back to the Canglan star field, and invested a lot of money to transform it into the new space headquarters of their Takarada Group.

At that time, it also caused a great sensation, and the reputation of the Takarada Group in the eighteen star fields reached its peak for a while.

Unfortunately, 30 years later, Luo Guozhi passed away, and the new successor of the Takarada Group was ambitious. He took a fancy to the unique geographical location of the Chaotic Star Field, and wanted to open up a trade channel to the Tiannan Democratic Republic from there, and even, Establish a country that spans the Canglan star field-chaotic star field, a part of the morning central star field and the wasteland star field!

Therefore, as the main force, they united the five major forces in the Chenyang Starfield, the three major forces in the Wasteland Starfield, the Dongting Starfield and the Zhanhai Starfield, and launched a war against the Star Thief Alliance in the Chaotic Starfield.

It's a pity that behind the power of the Star Thief Group back then, there was the secret support of Su Ya, the former highest administrator of the Odin Kingdom, and the war that was originally a quick battle turned into a protracted war.

The coalition forces of the five major star fields were tricked by the army of cunning star thieves. The three-year war exhausted the patience and confidence of each force.

Moreover, due to the huge consumption of the war, various forces have been unable to continue. As the initiator of the war, the Takarada Group also cut off its own capital chain due to the long war, triggering a large-scale economic crisis and social panic.

In the end, the ruling system of the Takarada Group collapsed, and the five star field coalition forces were also declared disbanded, and a huge amount of compensation was severely extorted by the Star Thieves one by one.

The Canglan Starfield also fell into division again. In order to preserve the last fire of the group, the then chairman of the board of directors of Takarada Group gradually divested most of its industries, leaving only the military industry and the mining industry in the end.

Later, the mining industry was replaced by the emerging Roche Business Alliance, and the Takarada Group became the current Takarada Military Industry Group.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Takarada Military Industry Group has never sold the headquarters transformed from a super flagship strategic cargo ship, which was once a symbol of glory, and its stable development ideas have gradually allowed them to sit firmly. The position of the third largest force in the Canglan Starfield.

The current CEO is a thin middle-aged man named Rand, who is only 71 years old and in his prime. He is known for his shrewd mind within the Canglan Business Alliance.
