Chapter 395 Is It Time for the Military-Industrial Complex to Start Functioning?
"Yes. Simply winning a strategic decisive battle cannot solve all problems."
Miller nodded, looked seriously into Brandon's eyes and said, "Especially internal issues."
"Want to hear the details." Brandon seemed to realize something and no longer avoided Miller's gaze, but began to look at the latter.
"Originally, these issues should not be discussed by me. After all, these are considered internal affairs issues. But now that this series of events have occurred, and based on the information I have obtained, I have reason to believe that these 'internal affairs issues' have reached the level of Issues that threaten 'national defense security'."
"Do you really think these matters involve 'national defense and security', or is this just an excuse for your military to interfere in 'internal affairs'?"
Brandon's words did not conceal his malicious speculations about military leaders such as Miller and Trafalgar, and the latter two did not react accordingly.
Maybe it's because Miller has done a good job of psychological construction with Marshal Trafalgar in advance, or maybe it's because he stayed on the front line for more than a year and his fiery temper has calmed down a lot. In short, even Marshal Trafalgar is not as usual. get angry.
"Hahahaha, you are really joking, Mr. President." Miller smiled and shook his head.
“To tell you the truth, if it doesn’t really rise to the level of ‘national defense and security’, our military has no interest in the bullshit within the federal government, let alone getting involved.
But whether it is the autonomous governments of various galaxies that are ready to move, or the rapid rise of Atlas, they have already touched the boundary of 'national defense and security'.
At worst, the former may directly lead to the division of various galaxies and eventually plunge the Federation into civil war, while the latter has already choked us in key areas and relies on this technology to continuously penetrate into the Federation.
Although we don't yet know Atlas' true purpose, there is no doubt that it is indeed a threat to the Federation. "
"That's right." Trafalgar took over what Secretary of Defense Miller said and continued:
"The military has spent almost all its energy just paying attention to the war on the front line. We are raising these issues now, just hoping that you and the federal government can take a look at these two hidden dangers, instead of us fighting life and death on the front. As a result, There was a sudden fire in the backyard.”
"Okay. So what do you want to do? Or what do you want me to do?"
Brandon said, and at the same time, he began to think about the possibility of these 'hidden dangers' that Miller mentioned actually happening.
"Accelerate the transformation of the unmanned fleet into a 'semi-automated' fleet, and at the same time free up more manpower and material resources from the initial construction of Mobile Fortress No. 3 and No. 4 - the construction of Mobile Fortress takes too long. If you have to wait If they are completed and the decisive battle begins, it will be too late.
The freed manpower, material resources and production capacity have been invested in regular fleet crew training and the production of proton annihilation bombs. We hope to have at least five more proton annihilation bombs before the strategic decisive battle begins. "
"Five? Are you kidding me?" Brandon laughed out loud.
"We only saved less than 20 pieces before the war started. Now you have to produce 5 pieces in a short time."
"Before the war, it was before the war, and now it is the military production capacity under the current general mobilization situation. Can it be compared with that in peacetime? We have consulted with relevant personnel. As long as more manpower and material resources are invested in this area, this number can be achieved. "
Faced with Brandon's rhetorical question, Miller answered confidently that he has always been a person who is good at considering all possibilities and preparing all issues before non-temporary meetings.
".Any more?"
"There are also issues within the federation. These matters are all the federal government needs to worry about. You and the various government departments should pay attention to starting to suppress the autonomous governments of various galaxies, and strengthen them when necessary. ,correct"
Miller seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I remember that the Atlas Group has a close relationship with the Rubin Galaxy Autonomous Government, right? You can prioritize this galaxy to suppress the development momentum of the separatist forces in the galaxy, cut off their relationship with the Atlas Group, and This 'nail' was removed and the effect of 'killing two birds with one stone' was achieved."
"What's the specific method?"
"This is not something you and I need to consider. From a certain perspective, the rapid rise of Atlas. Those military-industrial complexes with which you have a good relationship should now have a sense of crisis to some extent, right?
Since they have been sucking the federation's blood for so long, now facing a common enemy, shouldn't it be time for them to do something useful? "
——
Just as Brandon and two military bosses were discussing how to use the power of the military-industrial complex to cause some 'little trouble' to Atlas in the Lubion Galaxy, they would also hammer this increasingly restless galaxy. When self-government.
Atlas's main combat force began to 'clean up' the somewhat 'hot' planet of Para 4.
At this time, Infinity was also anchored in the low orbit of Para 4, and put down the "deployable space-to-earth shuttle module" that many people considered a "miracle".
The 'deployable space-to-ground shuttle module' is essentially powered by a large number of carbon nanotubes and microwaves hanging from the ship's hull, and then generates a gravity control channel with a cross-section of three square kilometers.
Ten gravity control rings manufactured based on Forerunner technology were separated from the bottom of the ship and arranged at a certain distance along the entire passage between heaven and earth.
Inside this channel, gravity is not consistent with the outside world, but is determined by the operating mode of the gravity control ring.
In the delivery mode, the gravity inside the heaven-to-earth round-trip channel will be much lower than the outside world, and at the same time, the materials being delivered will be accurately decelerated.
Located in the 'base area' at the bottom of the ground, there will be a large number of worker bees responsible for transporting and sorting materials, and moving the delivered items to the 'material sorting area' outside the passage.
In the recovery mode, the gravity inside the round trip channel will be directly reversed. The materials entering the recovery channel will "fall" to the Infinity above under the action of anti-gravity, and then use the "infinity" in the last channel near the Infinity to "fall". Worker bees (outer space working types)' conduct guidance and recovery.
After seeing the tunnel between heaven and earth running successfully, Amber had to sigh. The shock of seeing this thing in reality was definitely not comparable to that in the game.
And this channel, whose delivery efficiency is much higher than that of the orbital elevator, also deploys a large amount of materials and personnel to the ground at an extremely fast speed. Even the Infinity itself has become a temporary space port after unfolding its modules.
Of course, according to Saleh, the ‘space-to-earth passageway’ currently deployed by the Infinity is actually the least efficient among the Forerunner technologies.
After all, only one of the delivery mode and the recycling mode can be activated at the same time, so the current operation mode of the delivery channel is to rotate once a day. If there are no people and materials that need to be recycled for the time being, the 'delivery mode' will be kept activated for a long time. .
But Amber has no regrets about this, as long as it works.
To be honest, the fact that the Equipment R&D Center was able to develop gravity control in a short period of time was beyond his expectation. In his opinion, the speed of copying this technology was no different from opening a 'Golden Finger'.
During this period, Atlas has deployed a large number of ground troops and many experimental weapons by leveraging the efficient transportation capabilities of this delivery channel. The purpose is to clear out the various armed forces entrenched on the ground and at the same time target These new weapons undergo actual combat testing.
Amber also returned to the ground. Now she was looking at a five-axis special vehicle beside her, slowly raising the electromagnetic gun with a huge inner diameter high into the air.
