Him and their stars

Yu Lian's first reaction was "Ah, there is such a good thing?". Isn't this the same as when you marry a wife, you finally agreed that you don't need to pay a bride price, and your mother's family not only gives you a dowry, but also brings a maid to marry you? Hong Kong, even in the evil old society, it is possible to get this kind of treatment only if you catch a son-in-law under the ranking.

But then again, catching a son-in-law under the official list will naturally gain something, but why does the other party do it?

Because Yani said hello to Claire? Don't be ridiculous, those two are the most elite among the capitalists, and the most important thing is to separate public from private. Compared with them, the feudal nobles were considered to be full of humane feelings. Moreover, after all, he (on the surface) has no direct relationship with the armaments department. Even if he really values ​​his personal relationship with me, there is naturally a smarter way.

Therefore, there must be something fishy about this matter.

First of all, we still need to explain the concept of the universal compositor mentioned by the other party. We must understand that in an era where the technology tree is distorted, the so-called synthesizer, who has the same three-dimensional strike and delivery capabilities as Yu Lian's hometown in his previous life, can form more precise and flatter commands through digitalization. The tactical units of the system are different - Yu Lian actually hopes that he can establish this kind of tactical unit first; however, the hardware aspect of technology can be achieved and even rich, but the improvement of software is really time-consuming. . That requires several innovative levels of military awareness from the command level to grassroots officers and even ordinary soldiers.

What's more, this kind of war unit, which relies on high-quality soldiers and high-tech equipment, has great goals whether it is fighting, marching or stationed. In an era when mastering outer space orbits means one has absolute control over all war initiatives, it is easy to become a target for orbital bombing. In terms of cost-effectiveness, I'm afraid it really can't compare to the high-quality and low-priced line-filling motorized infantry.

Even so, knowledgeable people in the military circles of various countries have not completely given up on treatment. Although most of the resources are spent on the fleet, if possible, it is still hoped to somewhat improve the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps. This so-called "universal synthesizer" is one of the results.

As we all know, the Alliance is the largest country in the galaxy with the largest territory and the largest population. It is natural that it is also a multi-ethnic country.

Under such circumstances, the alliance's huge marine forces have always had the problem of too many troops, which also brings about complex equipment, huge logistical pressure, and an indescribable lack of combat effectiveness.

There is no way. After all, the alliance is known as a beacon of hope for civilization, and it must at least have a semblance of equality in the system. Like the Empire, it is entirely possible to select troops only from fighting races with martial virtues such as the Wulflings and Kieyyans, but the Alliance has no way of doing this.

There is nothing they can do to prevent ordinary people from joining the army. After all, this is a capitalist society that has never been tortured by the Red Army. Workers are always a vulnerable group, and once they lose their means of survival, becoming a soldier is also a good choice. For the alliance with deep pockets, making the unemployed young adults from the alien race a good brother who costs 50 yuan each is also a very cost-effective way to maintain stability. Why not do it?

All in all, the "pure" troops composed entirely of humans and demihumans are the sharp knives for attacking and suppressing riots, and are the "forbidden army" of the alliance. Some humans, plus the huge second-line troops of multiple alien races, are cannon fodder for the line-fillers, and they are "side soldiers."

The above two constitute the alliance's huge land combat force.

In addition, because of these huge "box soldiers" troops stationed in various places, the alliance abolished the establishment of local police forces a long time ago. Although some union republics and kingdoms still have their own local troops, they are not included in the establishment of the alliance's main army, and they do not feed into the central government's finances. After such an operation, although the alliance claims to be a republican federal government, its ability to centralize power is actually higher than that of the vast majority of countries with (apparently) authoritarian systems.

However, even if they are "soldiers" who maintain law and order and serve as cannon fodder, it is certainly great to improve their combat effectiveness.

So, there is this so-called universal synthesizer.

Note that "general use" is the most important. "Synthesis" does not refer to command synthesis, strike synthesis, or multi-arms synthesis, but "synthesis" in multi-racial organizations. This "general use" is mainly reflected in its main individual weapons, the Z99 White Tongue Rifle, and the GS59-style Hundred-Faced Giant Mecha Power Armor.

The former is a rifle that strengthens the durability of the barrel and propulsion device, and simplifies the adaptability of the energy device and capacitor. To put it bluntly, only the particularly durable gun barrel and its accessories are the main body, and the gun body and barrel can be adjusted at any time according to the user's race.

The same theory applies to the Hundred-Faced Giant Mecha. Its main power skeleton uses the memory alloy of Xiandanu Company, and it is said that there are also a certain number of nanorobots. In this case, the "skeleton" of the power armor can be extended and adjusted according to the user's body shape, and then according to local conditions, the modular assembled reactive armor can be hung like building blocks to become a versatile " "General purpose" mobile armor.

From this perspective alone, this can indeed be regarded as an epoch-making individual weapon.

Well, at this point, Yu Lian probably understood what the other party wanted to do.

He suppressed the joy in his heart, but said with a straight face:

"What's the matter? Then let's just use our battleships as guinea pigs. Are you still going to use our young Marines as guinea pigs?"

General Gujiao seemed to have a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he still said in an instructive tone like an elder: "You formed the community's first multi-ethnic marine division. Didn't you do the same thing?"

This guy is quite well informed. You know, the 38th Division has only been established for less than half a year. Moreover, because the community is not a multi-racial country, it is indeed the first army to introduce a large number of troops from foreign races.

Of course, if you want to sell equipment, it makes sense to be well-informed.

"Moreover, they are already on the front line. Although they have not directly encountered the predators at the moment, who can say for sure about the other enemies?"

"Who are you referring to?" Yu Lian grinned ferociously.

"Ah hahaha, I'm just saying that just in case. You came down from the battlefield, so you should understand what I mean. What's more, you also encountered many dangers in your battle to become famous. You shouldn't be naive enough to think that , when the predators are eliminated, the universe will be peaceful, right?" General Gujiao also opened his three-petal mouth and showed an extremely honest and simple smile.

"Yes, so our soldiers are also reorganizing the army and not daring to relax for a moment. But in such a sensitive period, do we need to replace a combat system that has never been tested? General, this is not a test of a new weapon , but to test a new set of combat systems. You and I are not laymen, so we should understand what this means, right?"

The other party's face paled slightly, but he still tried his best to maintain a simple and honest smile, and sighed: "But, this new combat system is better than the one they are using now, right? At least the Hundred-Faced Giant and Moxa, It is indeed designed as a weapon."

Well, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the 38th Division, in addition to the more than 4,000 humans from the three regiments reorganized by the garrison, those soldiers who came from the Rumina Factory Guards and the Sand Militia are still used by Everyone jokingly calls it the "Labor Warrior Type 1" equipment.

This kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is transformed from a simple labor-type power skeleton. At some key locations, you can pick up abandoned city gate panels, armored vehicle and light tank cover plates from anywhere, and you can probably form a beggar's version of power armor.

Although it is very green, although its performance is embarrassing, it is still better than nothing. Moreover, it is much more formal than the predators on the opposite side tying door panels to the trolls.

There is no way, the community's military industrial system is in line with the empire, and it has never considered producing power armor for large self-reliant lizardmen and large four-armed beetles. Yu Lian very much hopes that his own military industry department can achieve some results in this regard, but unfortunately, although the mobile armor is an individual weapon, it is also a system engineering after all, and it really cannot be solved by hand rub.

Under this circumstance, the Alliance's Hundred-Faced Giant Mecha and White Tongue Rifle are currently the only standard military weapons that can be used by the Sand People and Lumina people.

The main performances of these two pieces of equipment quickly flashed through Yu Lian's mind.

The former should be able to provide the user with 3 to 4 times the power, a speed bonus of more than 30 kilometers per hour, and a cruising time of about three hours for high-intensity combat. It can be equipped with several types of individual firepower units and communication units, but the battery will be tested even more.

To be honest, in terms of overall performance, it is not even as good as the Dragoon mecha, which is the mainstream equipment of the Community Marine Corps. The alliance has "FS18 Patriots" and "FS22 Pioneer Warriors" equipped with human (and demi-human) soldiers, which is even more different.

The latter is a weapon with great power but hard to describe accuracy, but it has the most important characteristics of being durable, easy to repair and easy to modify as a weapon for ordinary soldiers.

Before their own military design department makes a decisive design breakthrough, these equipment are indeed very important to the soldiers of the 38th Division.

General Gujiao should have grasped his own weakness, but in fact this was not the case. Looking at them like this, it seems that once they agree, the other party will take advantage of them. There is something strange here.

Yu Lian remembered clearly that in the last timeline, the alliance began to try to promote its "general-purpose synthesizer" equipment, which was already in 837. At that time, because the empire had the Colossus, it completely entered into a strategic offensive and massively projected power into the Feimo Nebula, as if it was preparing to completely capture the legacy of the original Ero Empire.

Under this circumstance, the Alliance signed the famous "Feimo Security Treaty" with all countries in and around the Fermor Nebula. Then more than 20 divisions of equipment were sold to the Circassian Kingdom, the Republic of Minlan, etc. at one time.

Well, it is indeed a sale, and it is an arms trade in which money is paid and delivered, rather than "military aid" that is half-sold and half-delivered, because those countries have very urgent national defense and security needs. The death merchants of the alliance know very well that steamed buns need to be dipped in fermented bean curd to eat. Not only are the arms sold, but the buyers have to thank themselves.

However, it has just arrived in the new year of 833. This kind of giant armor has just appeared, and even the alliance itself has only equipped one battalion on an experimental basis.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian felt that he should have realized it.

At this time, I heard General Gu Jiao say: "A general-purpose synthesizer's equipment and spare parts. This includes fifteen thousand sets of the Hundred-Faced Giant and twenty thousand Hundred-Snake Bird rifles, as well as one hundred and twenty full-scale synthesizers." Terrain firepower platform, fifty portable phase wave cannons. I think the total price of this transaction should be 2.5 billion satellites, but based on the long-standing friendly relations between the two countries and the prospects for all-round military cooperation, I can make the decision to lower it to 2000000000."

He looked at Yu Lian with vigour, and almost said, "You only need 2 billion to buy back a division with only 2 billion. You can neither suffer a loss nor be fooled."

But Yu Lian chuckled: "Since it is based on the long-standing good-neighborly and friendly relations, it should be military aid. Talking about money is so hurtful!"

The other party's face suddenly fell.

Indeed, in the future, the alliance's multi-racial "general-purpose" divisions equipped with the Hundred-Faced Giant Mecha will in many cases display a combat effectiveness no less than those of ace divisions composed of humans and demi-humans. They were able to suppress the rebels, beat the swarms, and even compete with the Empire's elite Panzergrenadiers for several rounds.

Although the purchase price of general-purpose combat skeletons using nanorobots and memory alloy technology has gone up, considering the increase in combat effectiveness, the price/performance ratio is certainly better.

But the problem is, the other party doesn’t know yet!

Yu Lian can now guess that the top military leaders of the alliance and the politicians in the parliament must be full of doubts about this new equipment.

After all, it's really unclear whether the combat effectiveness can be improved, but what they can see is that the design department's whims have caused the purchase price to increase by leaps and bounds.

Why do we spend so much money to equip the second-line cannon fodder with such expensive equipment?

Obviously, General Gujiao is not a human being, not even a demi-human. Even in the Alliance, which is known as a "beacon of hope" for "racial equality" and civilization, it is not easy to reach the position of lieutenant general.

He may really want to promote this "general-purpose" synthetic division equipment into the military, but it should be very unsuccessful. After all, we all know that no matter what you do, as long as it involves adding money, it will be extremely difficult.

Now, the Community's first 38th Division composed of multi-racial soldiers may be the breakthrough he has found.

Yu Lian confirmed this from the twinkling eyes of the other party, and his momentum suddenly became more intense, and he said loudly: "In business, you really need to do publicity and promotion. But this is the first time I have heard that advertising requires people to pay for it. Yes. I just think your country is a bit rough when dealing with foreign trade disputes, but I don’t know that this is also the virtue in doing business.”

General Gujiao and his colleagues quickly exchanged glances and said bravely: "However, you must also admit that the Hundred-Faced Giant is also an epoch-making design. It was equipped with another country for the first time, so it should have performed decently. "

"Yeah, give me some. You can't insult those designers and engineers who have worked so hard!" General Greco also added.

I seem to have heard this before. Yu Lian thought so. However, since the other party has said this, doesn't it mean that he has given up treatment completely?

Yu Liangang was about to say something, but his own General Oswood said expressionlessly: "We don't have such authority."

There was a palpable twinkle of impatience in his tone and expression, the standard reaction of a senior bureaucrat when faced with an unplanned situation.

Yu Lian couldn't help but glance at the chief military attache of the embassy from the corner of his eye.

No matter what this person's true thoughts were, it really served as a divine assist.

"As you can see, I do not have the purchasing authority for the Marine Corps. The most I can do is convince the leaders to allow these equipment to be used as military aid as an addition to this warship purchase. Of course, if you agree, I will find ways to facilitate the deal. Yes, you can also try to ensure that the 38th Division makes good use of the new equipment and give detailed usage experience." Yu Lian smiled and shrugged: "If the other party is still unwilling to accept it, I have to ask you to find some from the Feimo Nebula. The family organized against the system.”

Of course the alliance is not happy. As for the anti-imperial rebel organizations in Feimo, if new equipment is given to them, it might fall into the hands of the empire tomorrow, and more advanced imitations will come out the day after tomorrow.

Now, the 38th Division of the Community on the front line of the New World is the alliance's best choice.

Humph, the arms trade is a seller’s market? Labor and management want to make it a seller's market.

After Yu Liangan Gang made up his mind, he turned to his opponent, General Gujiao, and said impatiently: "Okay, that's it, we have to establish a written document!"

"..."

Gee, why does it feel like this guy is taking advantage of something?

For a moment, Yu Lian doubted whether there were any safety hazards in the equipment of the entire division, and decided to check it in person before sending it to the New World.

Looking at the rest of the people, whether they were from the community or the alliance, they all showed expressions of astonishment.

"Forgive me, General Yu Lian. I admit that I am a little selfish, but the Hundred-Faced Giant and the general-purpose synthesizer system are really epoch-making equipment, but many people do not agree with this. But you must have a way Prove their power." General Gujiao apologized to Yu Lian candidly. This was the most sincere expression Yu Lian had ever seen on his face.

Then, I saw the Waying general picking up a bottle of champagne from under the table and pulling out a row of wine glasses: "Gentlemen, we have indeed made a good win-win business!"

Yu Lian looked at the general's bright smile and decided to accept the celebration with a glass of wine. As for other possible problems, they will be implemented slowly later.

With the sound of "pop", Lieutenant General Gu Jiao opened the bottle cap, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

General Waying's head was like a balloon that had been suddenly injected with a lot of helium. It suddenly expanded and deformed in a very twisted way, and then fell apart on the spot with dirty blood.
