1603. Intelligence (Part 2)
“The Republic’s finances cannot afford such production capacity? It is difficult to imagine that businessmen like Kuat Power Shipyard would make such a decision. This will mean that their expanded production capacity this time will increase The production lines, engineers, and technical workers will all be included in the additional costs, 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.
It is surprisingly the current co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association (M), Thorn Hill. Now the Muen Chairman is a little more ruthless than before. He is holding a black cat in his arms, wearing some ferocious-looking decorations, and his eyes are very sharp.
Since the Interstellar Banking Association split into the human faction headed by the planet Scipio and the Muen faction headed by the planet Mequito, the struggle has been as fierce as the frontal battlefield.
Whether it is suppressing the unstable factors internally or the financial struggle with the planet Scipio externally, it is extremely cruel.
Not to mention anything else, in the past six months alone, Thornhill directly planned more than a thousand assassination plans. Over time, his temperament naturally changed.
"The 50 trillion credit bonds previously issued by the Galactic Republic through Rush-Clovis have not yet been made clear. Given the status of the Quat Power Shipyard, they will not accept such bonds. And the Galactic Republic now has no money to continue paying military expenses except for this kind of credit bonds," San-Hill said, "So this time the Quat Power Shipyard expanded its production capacity, I think the Galactic Republic provided the mortgage and then let it go. They did this."
"This expanded production capacity will almost certainly be used by us," Qi Jian said, "Can you estimate the approximate number of warships?"
"This abnormal mobilization of materials started about more than a month ago. But more than a month is not enough to complete the manufacturing of a thousand-meter-class battleship. The complete process will take at least three months. Therefore, it is very difficult It’s hard to estimate,” Mrs. M said. Cold sweat was already streaming down her forehead, because during the recent period, the Galactic Republic's intelligence control had been unprecedentedly tight, which put her intelligence department under pressure.
At this time, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side, "Well...can I talk about it?"
Everyone turned their heads, only to see a hand raised, speaking timidly. Yes, it’s Adele Ulan!
She actually did not need to attend the meeting, but Bangila Ulan at least nominally handed her the position of executive director of Lundili Interstellar Power Company, so she still needed to attend. .
It’s just that she never spoke before, just being a vase and 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 do nothing. Whether it’s Quart or Lundilli, it’s the same... That is Corellian Engineering Company. They specialize in small and medium-sized warships and civilian spacecraft, so they are relatively free," Adele Ulan said, "For example, if we receive a request for 100 warships. Order, but it is impossible for us to produce exactly 100 warships. ""How many should it be?" It was Volgograd-Kanidi who spoke. He seemed to be angry, or he was not familiar with this kind of production management. The topic is indeed of interest.
“From an order perspective, if there are some problems with the warships produced, we need to have alternate products immediately instead of starting production all over again. From the perspective of production management and control From a theoretical point of view, all the parts we produce are based on batches." Adele Ulan said that she was no longer sleepy, and her analysis was clear and logical, "For example, the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon. Compression devices, a batch of 4,705 pieces can maximize the use of raw materials and production equipment, while armor shock-absorbing plates are generally 120,000 pieces in a batch..."
She operated on the computer for a while, listing A large amount of data, "In normal times, although we are not allowed to produce more warships than the order quantity, in fact all parts are prepared in excess, and the frames of the warships are usually produced and placed there."
"So, Kuat Power Shipyard can assemble a large number of warships in a short time after expanding production?" asked the flagship.
"That's right. For example, after the planet Rendili 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 have visited Kuat Planet before, and based on our 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, the latest models There should not be many, and there are also some small and medium-sized battleships."
She continued to click on a large amount of data on the computer, "For example, if you want to use the spare parts of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser to the Knight-class destroyer. As for the starship, it is estimated that it will take at least 8 to 10 Jaeger-class ships to piece together a Knight-class ship. In short, it depends on the opponent's choice. The shipyard should be able to produce about 200 ships, and there shouldn't be too many Knight-class Star Destroyers."
Qi Jian's face became solemn, "If such a force comes all at once, there will probably be no one except Eria. Outside the Du Galaxy, no front can be guaranteed to be defended."
"Is it possible for the second ship of the Ankeron-class Titan battleship to form its initial combat effectiveness in the near future?" Tang Xiao turned to ask the Jiwen people. represent.
"It's completely impossible." The Given shook his head vigorously. "The frame of the Titan battleship has not even been completed, and only part of the internal system has been installed."
"If the Galactic Republic suddenly has such a With one force, it is very bad news for us, and we even have to prepare for the possibility that at least one of the fronts will be lost," Qi Jian said.
"In that case, instead of letting us make random guesses here, it is better for us to choose the battlefield." Ling Liang said.
"What do you think? General Ling." Qi Jian nodded.
“Wouldn’t it be great if we gave the Galactic Republic a reason to attack the battlefield we chose?” Ling Liang said, “For example, the Yago-Dur system is a very good battlefield. In that three In the galaxy, it is difficult for the Galactic Republic to deploy its 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 the Titan battleship? Let's give it to him." (End of Chapter)
