A Will Eternal Chapter 1258

,

The time has entered the summer of 140 years of the 41st millennium amidst the hustle and bustle of the Gothic sector.

An exciting good news was announced.

There are currently 207 human-colonized planets in the Gothic sector, and there are no omissions.

This means that the few human colonized planets enslaved by alien races have been recovered.

In these several recovery wars, the Gothic sector fleet was the most eye-catching.

Whether it's spaceship battles, martial arts orbital defense system battles, or orbital suppression firepower to support ground wars, they all performed well.

The ultra-low battle damage and dazzling feats even triggered a wave of gilding among the children of the wealthy families of Terra, and some children of the noble families joined the naval ranks in the Gothic star region.

Although these young soldiers have brought some troubles to Lowansberg, they are also beneficial, such as strengthening the connection between the Gothic sector and Terra.

The Gothic star region is a typical frontier, far away from the political center of the empire. In the past, grandma did not love her and uncle did not love her.

However, as the relationship deepened, the resources were skewed, and the response to various complaints was accelerated, the favorable situation came a little bit.

Of course, some people who know the secrets understand that this is actually the empire's preparations for the Chaos Expedition to deal with.

In fact, the forces of chaos have also heard about the changes in the Gothic star region.

However, factors such as age factors, spatial distance factors, and population isolation lead to the transmission and feedback of information, which is far from being comparable to the "global village" phenomenon of the modern earth.

More importantly, the characteristics of demons make it inappropriate to use human thinking to deduce the reactions of demons.

Looking at the size of the country and the level of power, it is not difficult to find that the "reckless system" represented by Khorne is the mainstream.

Of course, the core quality of demons is actually chaos.

And Mang has a market among the demonic groups in this world, which is also related to environmental factors.

If the demons have enemies like angels, they can't get any advantage in the main material world. Then Tzeentch's cunning style will be very marketable.

on the contrary,

It's okay to be reckless, why use your brain?

I'm trying so hard to break my head, I can't do this, I can't do that, I can't feel good!

Why be a devil? Isn't it cool enough to bully others without restraint?

Under such a tone, whether it is Abaddon or the so-called expedition think tank under his command, they are actually a bunch of jokes.

The reason why the original historical line was able to show a professional level in the early stage of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was not inferior, and the prelude battle that paved the way for the expedition was also very brilliant. The main thing is that the professional level of being a human being is at play, and then it is the counterparts, or the opponents are too inferior.

But now, Tzeentch, who is the only one who has seen some signs, is unwilling to speak out to remind him because he has been at odds with Khorne. Therefore, Abaddon's series of strategic formulation and implementation, which can still be evaluated as professional at this stage of the original historical line, seems to be working behind closed doors, and the head has hit a nail.

Of course, there are still echoes.

Even similar to this period in history, the human rulers of the Obscure Star Territory clearly felt that the robbers were rampant.

But in fact, the Gothic Star Region, which was supposed to be the main affected area, was not only not affected, but instead flourished and became more stable.

The reason behind this situation is naturally that the pirates in the Gothic star area have been basically wiped out. Even if there are still some, they are quick to see the opportunity and run to the adjacent star area to start work, or get up to avoid the limelight.

Near the Gothic Star District, there is not only the Eye of Terror, a place suitable for hiding filth, but also the type of people who usually do business and play pirates when they have the opportunity, so they can still live in cats.

In addition, the increase in looting incidents in the Obscure Starfield is also related to the frequent activities of Abaddon's vanguard fleet.

But compared to the same period in history, it has been much lighter.

After all, it is easy to enjoy the shade with the back of a big tree, and the Antioch Fortress is repairing ships day and night. It is not surprising that the Obscure Starfield Navy fleet has obtained part of the batch number.

With the entry of refurbished ships, the difficult situation of the Misty Starfield Navy has gradually eased. One of the specific manifestations is that the fleet is more capable of fighting, and the damage rate continues to decrease.

As for the fleet directly under the Gothic sector, the Divine Power will not be able to return to the battle order until the end of the year. In addition, only the Advanced, as well as several other battleships and heavy cruisers are still old, and the rest have been refurbished.

It can be said that up to now, the overall structure of the direct fleet has been greatly adjusted, and the total number of warships has exceeded 150, not to mention the combat power.

I have to say that there are some shortcomings, and the ability to face the line is a little bit worse, because the battleships and heavy cruisers are still old and young.

If he hadn't known that the twelfth Black Expedition would break out, Luwansberg would be very satisfied with the current situation of the direct fleet. Because it is very comfortable to use.

But when he thought about going head-on, the enemy still had a super warship like Planet Killer, he felt that it was not enough. Especially without a big guy to stand on the platform, it's really impossible.

Battleships are really useful, even if they just exist, its majestic body can give great encouragement to naval officers and soldiers. For human navies, morale is still very important.

For this reason, Lowansberg has been busy wrangling the minds of the star system fleet recently.

The 207 colonies represent 183 star system fleets. Although the star system fleets have only three or five ships, the number combined is very impressive.

Thinking that in Kane's prophecy, the ships of these fleets either defected or were destroyed by sabotage or various fancy breakups, Lowansberg was in pain.

But even though he is the admiral of the Gothic sector navy, nominally the naval ships of the entire sector are under his control, but in fact his control over the stellar fleet is not strong, or even very weak.

The main reason is that as long as the colonial stars pay enough tithes, other empires basically don't care about it.

The stellar fleet is a colony that raises money to buy, maintain, and protect itself. It is not included in the tithe. It is called a navy because there are unified regulations. If you really treat it like a son’s pastime, then you are wrong .

Fortunately, Lowansberg now has ship repair indicators available.

The target is money, if you are willing to spend money, how many things can’t be done?

Anyway, in the past year, many stellar fleets have been destroyed by his money offensive.

That year, and the refurbished pirate ship that Kane gave him later, so far, only 110 ships have entered the direct fleet sequence, and the rest were handed over to the star fleet by him.

And what he got was a variety of large old ships such as battle cruisers and heavy cruisers.

Battlecruiser, battlecruiser, the firepower of a battleship, the speed of a cruiser, thin skin.

Heavy cruisers, heavy cruisers, small battleships, the composite index is higher than that of cruisers, but lower than that of battleships.

Due to the special national conditions of the empire, there are indeed many overlaps in terms of ship positioning. There are many levels and many types. But in fact, due to the corresponding technological trends in each period, none of them jumped out of the framework of the Gothic series. Is this a blessing in misfortune? Otherwise, the logistics of the empire may be several times the pressure it is now.

Luwansberg doesn't care about these, what he cares about is how to refurbish these recovered old ships so that they can be put on the battlefield during the Twelfth Black Expedition.

He thought, if all these groups go up, the fleet directly under the Gothic Star Region will be even more luxurious than the large fleet directly under the Obscure Star Region. Even if Abaddon has a planetary killer, he may not be able to pretend to be inferior.

As for the battleship, people need to drive it.

Lowansberger can now answer this question very bluntly: people are not the problem!

This confidence is mainly given by the families of naval officers and soldiers.

Now Antioch Fortress (Earth Sea Star) is famous, and some people tout it as a paradise on earth in the Gothic sector.

Because the ship repair business of trade-in for new ones is in full swing, Dihaixing has also gained a lot of jobs. Such as bed sheets, quilts, and other ship supplies are all orders, and then turned into the work of military members.

There are jobs, benefits are good, and several members of the family go to work, and the living conditions are naturally improved as soon as they are seen.

Therefore, the threshold for serving as a soldier in the direct fleet is higher than in the past, and there are still countless people who go through the back door.

The Naval Reserve was expanded one after another, and then due to practical needs. A large number of new openings of the old generation, which used to be only a dream, have finally come true. If you don't cut your salary on vacation, just ask if you are beautiful?

Moreover, the social status of the navy has also been greatly improved. Even a soldier in a navy uniform can be regarded as a decent person on the street. After all, everyone knows that their treatment is good, and their life safety is greatly guaranteed because of the refurbishment of the ship.

Of course, some people laughed while others cried. The great improvement of the navy, the people of the colonial planets saw it, and they cried to the rulers, and then happened to catch up with Chaos and launched operations to disrupt the rear. A series of strikes, marches, vandalism and looting with slogans such as fighting for legitimate rights and interests, we want to take a vacation, and we don’t want to die from overwork, etc. began and intensified.

So, under pressure, Bruce Icarus, Governor of the Gothic Star Region, took the initiative to come to talk to Lowansberg.

You used to ignore me, but now you can't afford it.

The attitude reflected in this statement is a bit petty, but everyone has it more or less, and so does Lowansberg.

So he was very reserved, meaning: You see, I only care about the navy, is it appropriate for you to ask me to talk about this kind of government affairs?

Lowansberger's previous anger was mainly due to two factors.

1. Logistics escort, and even security maintenance in the star area, is his job. No matter who takes the position of admiral, he must do this well. Icarus didn't have to ask him for that.

2. The military expenses and supplies of the fleet directly under it should have been paid by the Ministry of the Navy. But a long time ago, due to delays in scheduling, capacity, and other issues, the practice of first having a place to advance part of the payment, and then the Navy repaying it.

Now this practice is not only intensified, the proportion of advance payments is getting higher and higher, and there are more ways to play IOUs.

Theoretically, the empire owes the colony to the Gothic sector, but when it will be paid back, I don’t know.

And the governor is precisely the representative of the colony constellation.

Eat people's mouth is short.

The admiral Luwansberg couldn't straighten his waist in front of Governor Icarus.

But San Kane came.

Now Lowansberg has two big sources of money at his disposal.

The first is the starfish.

Although Dihaixing is still a city, its population is already tens of millions.

Its production capacity is good, but because it belongs to the military, it does not need to pay taxes.

Lewansberg took the money very hard.

Lao Tzu helped the naval officers and soldiers under his command to solve their worries and save them from worrying about bloodshed and tears. Such a big good deed didn’t take a dime from the Ministry of the Navy, and vaguely even saved pensions. You still want Lao Tzu to pay taxes, but you are still human ?

Another source of income is the refurbishment of matchmaking ships.

The empire needs to repair too many ships, and if the production capacity is expanded a hundred times, it may take hundreds of years.

So who comes first, does it matter?

certainly.

For those who waited hundreds of years before the possibility of repairing ships, this good news is not as bad as it is.

And part of the ship repairing capacity of Antioch Fortress, the batch number is in his hands.

These batch numbers can be money, things or favors.

What's more, Lowansberg also has a large number of restored pirate ships for free.

The First Order doesn't want this kind of thing. It's just adding burden and burden to yourself.

Exquisite and simple, powerful and guaranteed, isn't it good? It's not a starship museum.

So even if the outer fleet of the first order, that is, the logistics fleet composed of standard-class modified transport ships, has exceeded 2,000 ships, forming a transport fleet of 100, the number of escort warships has also increased to 800 (on the second day of the week) , and emergency backup) are still the Minor Arcana series.

And all kinds of captured pirate ships, including the ships obtained from the recovery of those human colony planets, except for a very small number that were turned into raw materials, most of them were repaired and given to him.

Of course, this part still has a cost, because the first order will not pay for the ships repaired by the First Order at the Antioch Fortress, and the daily necessities used inside.

But compared with a refurbished ship, the cost of that little thing is a drop in the bucket.

So now Lowansberg can be very rich just by reselling the ships in his hand.

In addition, Lowansberg now has another way to make money, that is, space scavengers.

The First Order supported his high-power search device, and he organized a fleet of personnel to detect the star-filled area, determine the wreckage of the ship, and then tow it back to sell scrap iron.

The first order is not short of energy. Once the electroslag furnace is turned on, it can digest as much steel as possible. Just to fill the vacancy of ship repair. After all, every time a ship is repaired, the First Order will take away some of the rare materials on the ship.

Now even the admirals in the nearby star areas are actively collecting wreckage and selling scrap iron. Nobody did this business before, but now the First Order can keep costs down and offer high scrap iron prices. Once people settle accounts and make money, they do it. After all, it is said to be wreckage, but if you don't make up a million-ton or more level, you will be embarrassed to sell it. Once the quantity comes up, the profits will naturally be considerable.

In particular, there have already been enough precedents for replacing ships with scrap iron, and everyone is full of enthusiasm.

Luwansberg is now walking on the avenue of the God of Wealth's light, and he just rushed to this, and his waist is not weak when he sees Icarus.

As for Icarus' appeal, after some manipulations, Lowansberg said Kane's original statement: pull him into the water!
