Chapter 235 The Undeclared War of the Shatta United Empire
With Li Qing's official return, the entire territory is gradually changing.
In the past, the entire territory was only developing silently. The active range of the territory's main members and fleets was mostly within a range of less than a hundred light years centered on the lord's capital galaxy, Jialan.
Now that Li Qing has returned, not only has the construction of the territory been accelerated and a large number of purchase orders have been released, but it can also be clearly seen that the territory has expanded its patrol scope and the number of small patrol fleets.
Some people with a sensitive sense of smell have been able to detect a hint of war, which has caused imperceptible changes in the entire territory.
Any war does not start immediately. Preparation may take longer than the war.
Even if they are strong enough now, they still need to make a lot of preparations in advance before attacking the Shata United Empire.
First of all, it is necessary to store enough industrial products to provide daily consumer goods for all the people in the territory and nearby active players for several years, as well as the most important food reserves, various maintenance supplies, etc.
Civilized wars naturally resort to all possible means. Attacking logistics and cutting off transportation are all routine operations. At that time, there was basically no need to expect external supplies to be as timely as usual. At this time, the consumption of the entire territory needed to be stored in advance. .
If the strategic reserves are not sufficient and the war lasts for a long time but cannot be replenished, resulting in a shortage of consumer goods and food, big problems will arise. The enemy may not break through but internal chaos will occur first.
Of course, Li Qing's problem is not big. The food production in the universe he currently controls is extremely sufficient. Not only can it fully meet the needs of the entire territory, but there is also a surplus to store, so there is no food shortage.
But it’s one thing not to have a shortage, but to prepare more and save more if you can.
Moreover, this operation can also subtly convey a signal to outsiders that the territory is short of food. If the Baji Consortium wants to cause trouble, they will not miss this opportunity.
Li Qing wanted to see if the bugs hiding in the territory would take this opportunity to cause trouble. If they were really lured out, they would be killed in one fell swoop.
"Boss, Wang Yanqing and other old brothers want to meet you."
Li Lieru said to him in the lord's office.
Li Qing raised his head in surprise, paused, nodded and said:
"Okay, where are they now?"
Li Lie immediately replied:
"Their team headquarters is established about two hundred light years north of the territory. They happened to come over today and are now in the Jialan Galaxy."
"Well, then you contact them and find a place to meet."
"By the way, how are they developing now?"
Li Lie hesitated and said:
"All of them have developed well. At least one of them has five or six hundred battleships, and several have more than a thousand battleships. Wang Yanqing is the strongest. He has the full support of his family and now has three flagships and nearly 3,000 battleships."
"Huh?"
Li Qing paused and raised his head in doubt.
"Three flagships and nearly three thousand battleships?"
"Yes!"
Li Lie explained:
"Although they are separated, his assets and personal strength are extremely strong. In addition, boss, you have promised to help him seize a life planet. He has the full support of the Wang family, which directly integrates all the Wang family's development in Zutar. No matter the main line or the branch lines are all under his command, the total strength is so strong."
"Then why does he have three flagships? It's impossible to build them so quickly now."
"I'm not very sure about this. I heard that one of them was a reward for a difficult task, and another was dug up from a grave."
Li Qing frowned after hearing this and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The expansion of this strength is a bit ridiculous, and it is comparable to cheating yourself.
But this strength can be traced. The increase of each flagship has its source and does not increase out of thin air.
There seemed to be nothing wrong, but Li Qing's first reaction was that it was abnormal.
After pondering for a while, he waved his hand to signal Li Lie to leave, then opened the communication to communicate with Yu Yuefei, told her his guess, and asked her to find someone to collect information on the core of the many former legions.
In addition, he contacted the group of lurkers he had initiated before and asked them some questions.
After finishing the necessary questions, Li Qing fell into deep thought again.
He shook his head for a while and said with a smile:
"What's there to worry about? No matter whether they have strange thoughts or not, soldiers will stop them, and water will flood them. Naturally, it's best if there is no one. If there is, then deal with it the same way."
He was not too surprised. People's hearts can change. There are many cases of people falling out on the spot for profit. Backstabbing in the same trench one second and the next. There are countless cases of former friends turning against each other for profit.
Li Qing didn't think too much and could only say that he hoped he was wrong.
The territory seems peaceful, but in fact it has been eroded and riddled with holes. Data shows that in the past two years, there have been a large number of teams that have suddenly emerged and big businessmen who control important commodities. People from the Baji Consortium are lurking everywhere. When the time comes, he can immediately catch him off guard.
Therefore, necessary preparation and vigilance are still necessary.
In the afternoon, Li Qing met with Wang Yanqing and others who came to visit in Star City No. 1.
He had no suspicion at all in the office before and received them very warmly.
Everyone was chatting and laughing together, talking about the past, and they were having a good time, looking like they always did.
After the party, Wang Yanqing found him in private and talked to him about the original agreement again.
Li Qing smiled and said:
"Don't worry, my promise is always valid, and I will definitely help you win a living planet."
However, Wang Yanqing looked embarrassed and did not answer.
Li Qing's laughter slowly disappeared and he asked in a deep voice:
"Is there any change?"
He touched his head in embarrassment and said with an embarrassed look:
"It's like this. My family feels that I am strong enough now. There is no other team in the entire expeditionary force except you that is my opponent. Taking over a living planet is not a big problem, so."
He couldn't say the next words, but Li Qing guessed it instantly and asked with a surprised look:
"Your family wants to give up that promise and get back that dividend?"
The expression on Wang Yanqing's face became even more awkward, and he neither nodded nor shook his head, but Li Qing knew that he had guessed correctly, and then he was speechless.
This was the first time I encountered this situation, and I actually felt regretful about the completed transaction.
Logically speaking, he could refuse this matter with confidence, even Wang could not say anything.
However, he did not do so and directly agreed.
"Yes, if you want to go back on your word, you can return the flagship I sold you and I will pay you 158 trillion star yuan."
Wang Yanqing nodded, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"But I don't have that much cash now, how about waiting for me for a week?"
"Okay."
The two parties reached a verbal agreement, and then Wang Yanqing said goodbye and left without talking about anything.
That’s it, what else is there to talk about.
Li Qing watched Wang Yanqing leave and sat there in silence for a long time.
“Interesting!”
He is not sure now whether Wang Yanqing was bought by the Baji Consortium, or whether his strength has really expanded, or whether he is really instigated by the family behind him. It makes no difference. Anyway, from today on, their relationship will never be the same again. .
"Two flagships and more than 3,000 battleships are equivalent to the comprehensive strength of an enhanced brigade. No wonder it is expanding!"
I don't blame him for doing this. It's possible that he would choose this way.
He has the ability to seize a planet, but when he thinks back to the fact that he lost 150 trillion star yuan for a promise that no longer matters, no one is willing to accept it.
One hundred and fifty trillion star dollars is a huge sum of money that no military leader will ignore. It can do countless things. A direct purchase of one finished battleship worth 75 billion star dollars can buy 2,100 battleships in one go.
Although it is a bit abrupt, this is reality, this is human nature, and thoughts are different at different times.
At first, Wang Yanqing was not strong enough, so he naturally wanted his help. But later, when he became stronger, he could solve it himself whether he needed help or not, and he would definitely feel heartbroken when he thought about the money he would lose.
A week later, Li Qing transferred 1.58 trillion star yuan to Wang Yanqing, and Wang Yanqing also sent back the flagship aircraft carrier.
It's exactly the same as before, but it's been two years.
Li Lie and Li Qi had some complaints, but Li Qing didn't care.
It's just a small loss, and there's no telling who will suffer the loss in the future.
In the following days, Li Qing stayed in the territory every day, either handling official duties or entering the universe in his palm.
As time went by, after consuming a full 500 civilization points and the joint efforts of many Star Negatives and hundreds of golden servants of light engineers and physicists, the first-generation battleship mother chip was finally successfully assembled.
Next is the upgrade.
In addition to sociobiological scientists, all physics and engineering scientists in the entire palm of the universe are working hard to upgrade the battleship mother chip.
A large number of civilization points continue to be consumed as if they are free of charge. Li Qing hopes to upgrade the battleship mother chip to the fifth generation within two years, and then combine the battleship and dreadnought flagship mother chips to launch the dreadnought battleship mother chip.
In reality, the territory is also gradually preparing for battle, and a large amount of supplies have been stockpiled. Li Qingte took out a large amount of food from the palm of the universe and stored it in the warehouse of the Jialan Galaxy to prevent the war from escalating. He did not have time to move the food out in time, resulting in a lack of food in the territory.
At this point, the territory's general war preparations have been completed, and they are just waiting for the battleship mother chip to be upgraded and to build as many battleships as possible.
Two months later, the second batch of flagships was officially built. A total of eight dreadnoughts were completed and left the dock. After the crews and commanders were assigned, they were directly incorporated into the first division.
The construction of the Titan super flag and super aircraft carrier takes nine months longer than the dreadnought, and it is estimated that there will be no time to enter service before the war begins.
Using the freed up dock capacity, he boarded a total of 20 dreadnoughts, with each dreadnought taking up 500 ships, for a total of 10,000 ships.
At this time, the second batch of battleships was hundreds less than the first batch, freeing up this space, otherwise it would not be enough.
When the construction of this batch of battleships is completed, the battleship blueprints have been used up, and the total number of battleships owned by the Jialan First Division exceeds 5,000, which is equivalent to half of the division.
Now it's just time to accumulate.
A few days later, Li Qing left the territory and appeared in the isolated galaxy after two jumps, arriving in front of the Cybertron Fortress.
From a distance, you can see a mobile fortress like a star parked in the void. At this time, the shell of the fortress has been repaired and the energy shield has been reinstalled and restarted. From a distance, it looks like an asteroid with a thick atmosphere. .
Entering the fortress, Long Yun said to him:
"Now the exterior of the fortress has been repaired, and the interior has also been repaired, including the internal dock and arsenal. The only thing missing is the weapons and equipment fleet."
After a pause, he continued:
"Although the internal shipyard and arsenal can produce various weapon accessories, the output is limited. If you want to serve as soon as possible, you need your Majesty's cooperation."
Li Qing immediately understood what he meant and nodded:
"Make a list for me."
At this time, they had reached the depths of the fortress, the core of the original fortress, and once again arrived at the location where the Cybertron god general once slept.
Not much has changed, it's still the same pyramid and pagoda with its spire, but compared to when there was no one around, now there are many consoles around the core space, and many maintenance engineers are debugging equipment at the consoles.
This is the main control room of the mobile fortress and the general headquarters of the entire fleet.
You can control the internal situation of the entire mobile fortress here, or command the entire fleet through here.
Li Qing came to the pyramid, walked to the top, and sat down on the throne. With a thought, a transparent twisted light pillar covering the entire pyramid fell down from above his head. As if something had been activated, a circle of signal light waves started with him. The center quickly spread to the surroundings, and many lights in the entire core control room that had not been lit before lit up.
Li Qing felt that his consciousness was rapidly expanding under the influence of some kind of instrument, and it was rapidly extending around the fortress along some kind of passage.
In less than a minute, he felt that his consciousness had extended to every inch of the entire fortress, and he could even control every cannon and weapon in the fortress.
It's just that most of the weapon slots are empty now, but he is sure that he can control them.
“Quite high-end!”
This control system is definitely the sixth generation control system of Star Sea Lord, and it also has the unique characteristics of mechanical ascenders. He has been on the sixth generation Titan supership, and its command system is not so powerful.
After thinking for a while, Li Qing thought, the door of the black hole opened, and Cybertron, the Star Negator, walked out of it. He was stunned when he saw the greatly changed fortress.
Li Qing pointed to the fortress and said to him:
"If the property returns to its original owner, you will still be the captain of this fortress."
Cybertron nodded, walked up to the pyramid without hesitation, turned around and sat down slowly. For a moment, Li Qing seemed to have seen some kind of illusion, as if he had seen some hallucination.
The most powerful general of Senluo, who once dominated the sea of stars, has returned again with a stronger attitude!
"Very good!"
Li Qing clapped his hands in admiration and said:
"From now on, you will be the commander-in-chief of the first division of the territory."
The Cybertron god general nodded slowly:
"I don't dare to ask my ears, but I have my own wish!"
Li Qing nodded. As the former owner of this mobile fortress, he would definitely be able to maximize the combat effectiveness of this mobile fortress.
However, the joy on his face had not lasted for a few seconds when a message from Chuyuan who had stayed behind in the Jialan Galaxy came into his heart:
"The United Empire of Shatta sent troops to Locke Fortress eleven minutes ago and officially declared war on us!"
