Chapter 109: Various Parties' Movements

"Don't forget the "Warhammer" forces. We just lost a battle two years ago, and the "Warhammer" forces defeated the "UNSC."

"How can the "UNSC" be compared with the "Xinjing Shogunate"? The "Xinjing Shogunate" is not the "Xinjing Shogunate" two years ago. If it weren't for the control of the "Trade Mall", how could we take the initiative to give in and avoid conflicts with the "Warhammer" forces."

"Humph, that's right. After we have consolidated our control over the "Trade Mall", we will come back to deal with the "Warhammer" forces."

"It's better to be cautious. For those known major forces, try to avoid conflicts as much as possible. Otherwise, it's easy to fall into the quagmire of war and can't extricate yourself. This is not good for both sides."

"Although the universe is big, there is no inch of place that is redundant, and no star system can be abandoned. As the "Xinjing Shogunate" expands outward, it will one day border the territories of other forces, and war is inevitable. If the "Xinjing Shogunate" wants to become the overlord of the S star zone, it can't be afraid of war."

At every meeting, cabinet members always quarrel.

Morimasa and Tomoya have become accustomed to it.

After all, everyone has their own ideas.

It would be abnormal if there were no arguments in the meeting one day.

"Everyone, quiet down, quiet down..."

In the end, it was Tomoya who spoke up to stop the meaningless arguments of the cabinet members.

The meeting room gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at Morimasa and Tomoya.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Tomoya said calmly: "This meeting is to report to everyone on the battle situation of the S-01904 star system. Now the first phase of the battle plan has been completed, and the second phase of the fortress plan is being implemented. It is at a critical moment and follow-up forces must follow up."

At this point, Tomoya paused and said: "I have discussed with the general to send another 100 engineering ships to the S-01904 star system to speed up the construction speed, and send another 10 Salamis cruisers and 5 Magellan-class battleships to bring the size of the standing garrison fleet stationed in the S-01904 star system to 41 ships, a total of eight squadrons."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked astonished.

One person said: "General, Mr. Morimasa, is it appropriate to send 90% of the warships?"

Since the last battle with the Warhammer forces failed, the "New Capital Shogunate" has built a new batch of warships.

A total of 50 warships were started at the same time and launched one after another within three years.

Only the "New Capital Shogunate" with sufficient manpower could build warships on such a large scale.

41 warships were sent out, and only seven warships remained in the fleet guarding the S-01908 star system.

There were also ten warships stationed at the orbital asteroid defense fortress on the orbit of S-01909-A.

Facing everyone's doubts, Tomoya explained: "This is only temporary, in order to prevent forces from invading the S-01904 star system during the construction of defense facilities by the engineering fleet. After the construction of defense facilities is completed, only 25 warships will be stationed, and the other warships will be transferred back."

So that's it...

Everyone understood.

Indeed, the second phase of the plan to build defense facilities must be protected by a strong fleet.

Otherwise, once the enemy invades, the fleet will be unable to resist, and the effort will fail.

...

S-01820 star system.

With Linda, the "UNSC" was the first force to know that the "Xinjing Shogunate" occupied the S-01904 star system.

"Star God" space station.

"What do you think about this?"

A dozen figures were sitting sparsely around the huge round table.

Since Wood Stevens set the development plan, the governors have all gone out to develop.

This has rapidly expanded the territory of the "UNSC", from the original several star system territories to more than a dozen.

The grand scene of a full meeting will not be seen in the short term.

Sitting at the round table, Leo said in a deep voice: "When a force is strong enough, it will naturally set its sights on the trade mall. The UNSC has thought about this before. The only difference between us and the Xinjing Shogunate is that we gave up, while they took action."

"It's only been four years. Where did they get so many warships? I heard that there are more than 20 fleets in the S-01904 star system. This is definitely not the full strength of the Xinjing Shogunate."

At the round table, the governors discussed.

"There's nothing strange about this. Small ships are of course built faster. The "New Capital Shogunate" has the "Mobile Suit Gundam" technology template. The warships are weak, and the combat depends entirely on ship-borne MS, that is, humanoid weapons and mechas."

"What should we do? Now we haven't even completed the population task. Once the "New Capital Shogunate" controls the trade mall, will they really be taxed on transportation and transactions?"

"Delusion, an Akita dog turned into a wolf, does it want to bite its master?"

"Master? The shackles on his body are long gone. If he doesn't bite the master to death, will he be ridden by others?"

"Let the Americans be the masters, we are not..."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's think about how to deal with it now. That's a 20% tax, not to mention the toll. Who knows how much the "Xinjing Shogunate" will charge? Those guys have a big appetite, and it will definitely not be less than 5%. This is a lot of money. Do you really want to give it?"

"Can you not give it? They are powerful now, so naturally they have the final say. If you don't want to give it, don't go to the trade mall. If you want to go to the trade mall, you have to give it. Otherwise, how can the "Xinjing Shogunate" target the trade mall."

"Do you think there will be a force that will launch a war against the "Xinjing Shogunate" and drive them out of the S-01904 star system."

As soon as this was said, everyone present frowned.

One person shook his head and said, "If there is such a force, the result will not change at all. It's just that the owner of the S-01904 star system has changed."

That's true...

If you have the ability to defeat the "Xinjing Shogunate", you naturally have the ability to control the trade mall.

No one would give up the meat in front of them, the meat that is within their reach.

If the "UNSC" has this strength, it will naturally not give up.

Wood Steven heard the words of the governors.

He turned around and asked Linda not far away: "Linda, what forces can threaten the "New Capital Shogunate"? "

The speaker of the parliament said that everyone looked at Linda.

They also wanted to know how many noteworthy forces there were in the nearby star field.

As the ruler of the "Earth Home", Linda's problem with the speaker of the parliament was naturally not a problem.
