The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1603: Information (Part 2)

"The Republic's finances can't afford such a production capacity? It's hard to imagine that a businessman like Kuat Power Dockyard will make such a decision. This will mean that their expanded production capacity, increased production lines, engineers, and skilled workers this time will all be counted. into the extra cost, and no one will pay for them." Ling Liang frowned.

"What about the financial market?" Tang Xiao turned his head and glanced at a holographic projection next to him.

Impressively the current co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association (M), Thorn Hill. Compared to before, the Muun man chairman now has a more ruthless look. He is holding a black cat in his arms, and he also wears some hideous decorations on his body. His eyes are very sharp.

Ever since the Interstellar Banking Association split into a human faction headed by Planet Scipio and a Muun faction headed by Planet Mequito, the struggle in it was no less tragic than the frontal battlefield.

Whether it is suppressing those unstable factors inside, or the financial struggle with Planet Scipio outside, it is extremely cruel.

Among other things, in the past six months alone, Sang Hill directly plotted more than a thousand assassination plans. Over time, his temperament naturally changed.

"The 50 trillion credit bonds issued by the Galactic Republic through Rush-Clovis have not been clarified until now. With the status of the Kuat Power Dockyard, they will not accept this kind of bond. The Galactic Republic is now apart from this Apart from these credit bonds, there is no money to continue to pay military expenses.” Thorn-Hill said, “So this time the Kuat Power Shipyard expanded its production capacity, I think the Galactic Republic provided a mortgage, and then let them do it.”

"This expanded production capacity will almost undoubtedly be used on us." Qi Jian said, "Can you estimate how many warships there are?"

"This abnormal transfer of materials started about a month ago. But more than a month is not enough to complete the manufacture of a thousand-meter-class capital ship. The complete process will take at least three months. Therefore, it is very Difficult to estimate." Mrs. M said. Her forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, because during the recent period, the intelligence control of the Galactic Republic was unprecedented, which put her intelligence department under pressure.

At this time, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side, "That... can I talk about it?"

Everyone turned their heads away, only to see that it was Adele Ulan who raised a hand and spoke timidly!

In fact, she didn't need to attend the meeting originally, but Bangira Ulan gave her the position of executive director of Rendili Interstellar Power Company, at least in name, so she still needed to attend.

It's just that she never spoke before, and was a vase and a duchess, but this time, she actually mustered up the courage to speak.

This surprised everyone present.

"Say." Tang Xiao nodded expressionlessly.

"Actually... even if we don't use all our production potential, it doesn't mean we don't do anything. It doesn't matter whether it's Kuat or Lundili... that's Corellia. Engineering companies, they are mainly engaged in small and medium-sized warships and civilian spaceships, so they are relatively free.” Adair Ulan said, “For example, if we receive an order for 100 warships, but we don’t Probably only exactly 100 battleships were produced."

"How much should that be?" It was Volgograd-Kanidi who was speaking, and he seemed to be overwhelmed, or he was really interested in this kind of production management topic.

"From the point of view of orders, if there are some problems with the warships produced, we need to have spare products immediately instead of re-production. From the point of view of production management and cybernetics, all the parts we produce , It’s all based on batches.” Adele-Ulan said that she didn’t feel sleepy when she said this, and she analyzed it logically, “For example, the compression device of the XX-9 heavy-duty turbolaser cannon, a batch of 4705 can maximize the The raw materials and production equipment are used, and the armor damping plate is generally 120,000 pieces in a batch..."

She worked on the computer for a while and listed a lot of data, "In normal times, although we are not allowed to produce more warships than the order quantity, in fact all the parts are prepared in excess, and the frame of the warship is usually It will be produced and put there."

"So, the Kuat Power Shipyard can assemble a large number of warships in a short period of time after expanding production?" the flagship asked.

"That's right. For example, after the planet Lundili turned from darkness to light, we were able to produce more than 150 Victory-class Star Destroyers in just two months. That's how it came about." Adele Ulan said, "We I have visited Planet Kuat before, and according to my judgment, they should have the ability to assemble more than 1,000 warships in a short period of time. However, because these warships are reserved parts and frames, there should not be many latest models, and there are still many warships. Some are small and medium warships."

She continued to click on a large amount of data on the computer, "For example, if the spare parts of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser are to be used on the Knight-class Star Destroyer, it is estimated that at least 8 to 10 Jaeger-class ships can be pieced together Knight class. In short, it depends on the opponent's choice. According to my judgment, if it is a thousand-meter-class capital ship, the Quarter Power Shipyard should be able to produce about 200 ships, and there should not be too many Knight-class star destroyers. .”

Qi Jian's face became serious, "If such a force rushes over in one go, it is estimated that there is no front line that can be guaranteed to defend except the Eliadu galaxy."

"Is it possible for the second ship of the Ankron-class Titan battleship to form the most preliminary combat capability in the near future?" Tang Xiao turned to ask the representative of the Ji Wen people.

"It's absolutely impossible." The Ji Wen shook his head vigorously, "The frame of the Titan battleship has not even been built yet, and the internal system is only partially installed."

"If the Galactic Republic really has such an extra force suddenly, it will be very bad news for us, and we even have to prepare for the possibility of losing at least one of the fronts." Qi Jian said.

"In that case, instead of letting us make wild guesses here, it's better for us to choose the battlefield." Ling Liang said.

"What's your opinion? General Ling." Qi Jian nodded.

"Why don't we give the Galactic Republic a reason to attack our chosen battlefield?" Ling Liang said, "For example, the Yago-Dur galaxy is a good battlefield. In that three-body galaxy, the Galactic Republic It is difficult to deploy superior forces, and we still have room to resist. And the most important thing is..."

The corners of Ling Liang's mouth turned up slightly, "Don't the Galactic Republic want a Titan battleship? Let's give it to him." (End of this chapter)
