Chapter 215 Emergency Fleet Expansion
“So the public opinion detected so far mainly comes from Mary Bay Industries, Yaoguang Defense and the Timler family of the Star Dragon Empire?”
“Yes Yes, the common characteristic of the three of them is that they have all been tricked by you."
There was a burst of laughter in the office of the intelligence analysis team.
“Ahem, you intelligence officers need to be strict in what they say. How can you call it a trap?”
Amber, who was sitting in the main seat, twisted her neck unconsciously, and then continued:
“Let’s get down to business. According to the information you have collected, Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense have issued a joint statement. In response to the unfair competition they have encountered recently? And the Timler family has also found out about Atlas?"
"Yes, so we are likely to face multiple threats at the same time. "I understand the truth, and I can also guess the actions of Mary Bay Industries, but I still can't figure out why the Timler family can find us. Could it be that they were incorporated? Is there someone inside the miner who leaked the secret?”
“We have also investigated this.”
'Spy Chief' Isabel said:
"However, the mining site in the asteroid belt has only one way to communicate with the outside world. Only the high-power communication device on the operational base can do it. We have checked the communications from the time we took over until now. No abnormalities were found in the records, so the possibility of an insider has been ruled out for the time being."
While speaking, Isabel opened another graphic investigation report.
"At present, we suspect that the most likely possibility is the black market doctors who removed the 'slave chip' at that time. These guys have no professional ethics, and the Timler family has indeed been frequently inquiring about information on the black market recently."
“Tsk, I knew these people were unreliable.”
Amber was a little helpless, but she really didn't think of a better solution at the time.
Every step you take leaves a trace, although this is the famous saying of Edmond Rocca, the father of forensics.
But there is nothing wrong with this sentence even if it is applied to the current situation.
After all, as long as there are traces of Lilith that cannot be removed through the Internet, they will always be discovered by someone who is interested.
“If we prepare for the worst, how many enemies do we need to deal with?”
"If Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense jointly dispatch, while maintaining their own daily operations, they should be able to pull out a 15-20 ship escort detachment, equipped with a light cruiser as the flagship.
The Timler family has not started negotiations with us yet, but if they are determined to cause trouble, judging from the strength of their family and the title of their head, 80% will dispatch a fleet of 12-15 ships. The escort team, and the proportion of destroyers will be relatively high, and it is also very likely to be equipped with a light cruiser."
Listen to what Isabel provided through the current intelligence network and Orns and Cliffs. Information, compiled intelligence.
Amber found that this group of people was indeed not that easy to deal with.
Although dozens of destroyers and frigates are not even a drop in the bucket in the navy of the Federation and the Empire.
But in the current stage of the corporate war, just judging from the number of ships participating in the war, it can already be called a 'battle of bankruptcy for the losing side'.
“It seems that we have to start the fleet expansion plan in advance. Originally, I wanted to develop it for a while.”
Amber rested her elbows on the table and crossed her hands. Make an Ikari-like shape on the bridge of your nose.
“With Atlas’s current funds, how many ships can it purchase in the second-hand ship market?”
“All the funds obtained from the previous sale of the two Peregrine-class ships have been It is used to expand the mining team. The current funds on the company's account mainly come from the income of Atlas Mining and the funds recently obtained by the 'Financial Business Department'."
Speaking of this, Isabel had to say in an admiring tone:
"The financial business department is indeed very capable. If we count the funds they will gradually recover in the past few days, we can The specific situation of purchasing 3-4 more destroyers in a short period of time needs to be considered based on the actual market price. "
"In other words, the fleet can be expanded to a maximum of 6 destroyers in a short period of time, which is still too few. A little bit, the head-on battle is definitely not enough."
"We also need to consider whether the crew training speed during this period can keep up."
Listening to Isabel's words, An. Po couldn't help but fell into silence.
Looking at Amber, who has been thinking but has no clue, Isabel, who is Atlas's current 'secret chief', slowly said:
"Our intelligence analysis team does have an idea." Amber raised her head and looked at the intelligence team in front of her that was led by Isabel, with a few surviving electronic warfare technicians as the backbone, and a group of 'cat girls' as the basic staff.
Finally nodded.
“Say what you think.”
"It's very simple. We plan to put on a good show of 'a crane and a clam fight, and the fisherman benefits.'"
The method Isabel and the others came up with is very simple, that is, to use the information gap between the two parties to muddy the water.
Although Atlas is not yet aware of the existence of Lilith, core employees still know that Amber has powerful network information warfare capabilities and has recently developed a real-time communication system for nearby galaxies. Black technology.
With such ability, it is completely possible for the other party's intelligence personnel to be overwhelmed by a large amount of false intelligence, and ultimately draw wrong conclusions in the chaos.
It would be best if the other party can use wrong intelligence to lead the fleets of Mary Bay Industries, Yaoguang Defense and Timler Family to the engagement area arranged by Atlas after dispatching the fleet.
With the current relationship between the Federation and the Empire, if the timing is just right, everyone in Atlas can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch a big show.
But the premise of all this is to make the other party believe wrong information.
After listening to Isabel’s words, Amber seemed to be awakened and quickly figured out some of the joints.
"Network information warfare is one aspect. We really need to muddy the water. If we want the other party to take the bait completely, we may need Randall and Cliffs to act. It just so happens that Hull The Mess and Ares are also suitable for this work."
Amber tapped the table with the knuckle of her index finger.
"Let's just follow the general direction. I'll leave the details to everyone in the intelligence analysis team. I will also seize the time to expand our own fleet. We need to be strong ourselves. If we want to make things happen when they both lose, we ourselves The power cannot be too weak. "
At the same time that the financial terrorists received Amber's instructions to "make money quickly, brothers," they urgently opened up a new way of making money from foreign exchange spreads.
Inside the newly put into use Atlas Equipment Manufacturing and R&D Center in Babel Manor.
The atmosphere between Eugene Koch and Orns seemed awkward.
After all, Oens had planned to use special means to 'violently recruit' Eugene some time ago.
Now suddenly the two parties became colleagues in a new company, and the other party also became the director of the R&D center because he joined the company earlier and "brought money to join".
And the current equipment and skilled workers in the research center are all packed and brought here from Trident Studio, so to be honest, Eugene still has a lot of say.
Although Orns, as the deputy director, did not pay too much attention to his position as deputy director, after all, the salary Amber offered him was enough for him to put all his dissatisfaction behind.
But when facing Eugene, he still felt that ‘there is something wrong in his heart’.
"Mr. Oearns Mr. Oearns?"
Eugene waved his hand in front of Orns' eyes, pulling the distracted guy back.
"I'm sorry." Oens's face was a little embarrassed,
"When I see you, I will unconsciously think of what happened before. Now that I think about it, what I did at that time was still too radical. "
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Oens, at least with the Boss's intervention, the bad ending didn't happen, right?"
Eugene smiled, as a rough person, he During this period, I no longer had the initial diaphragmatic reaction towards Oens.
What's more, everyone is working at Atlas now and they are all colleagues.
“I also hope that you can adjust as soon as possible, so that we can complete the finalization of the first-generation individual combat exoskeleton system as soon as possible and put it into mass production.
If you want to follow Boss’s instructions Planning to equip the company's marines with exoskeletons is a big challenge."
Looking at Eugene's energetic smile, Orns couldn't help but think of when he first entered the industry. look.
After completely letting go of something buried deep in his heart, Oens also smiled and turned on the holographic projection device on the design desk.
"Then let's get started, Director Eugene."
