Chapter 395: Is it time for the military-industrial complex to start functioning?
"Yes. Simply winning in strategic decisive battles cannot solve all problems."
Miller nodded, looked seriously into Brandon's eyes and said: "Especially Internal problem. "
"Want to hear the details." Brandon seemed to realize something and no longer avoided Miller's eyes, but began to look at the latter.
“Originally, these issues should not be discussed by me. After all, these are all 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’ The problem has risen to the level of a threat to national defense security. ”
"Do you really think that these matters involve 'national defense and security', or is this just an excuse for your military to interfere in 'internal affairs'?"
There was no concealment of his disdain for Mi in Brandon's words. Le and Trafalgar, the military chiefs' malicious speculations, but the latter two did not react accordingly.
Perhaps it is because Miller has done a good job of psychological construction with Marshal Trafalgar in advance, or it may be because he has stayed on the front line for more than a year and his fiery temper has calmed down a lot. In short, even Trafalgar The marshal did not get angry as usual.
"Hahahaha, you are really joking, Mr. President." Miller smiled and shook his head,
"To tell you the truth, if it hadn't really risen to the level of 'national defense and security', Our military has no interest in the nonsense going on 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 rapidly rising Atlas, they have already touched the boundary of 'national defense and security'.
At worst, the former may directly lead to the splitting 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 know the true purpose of Atlas yet, 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 crack at these two hidden dangers, instead of us fighting life and death out front, only to have 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 'hidden dangers' Miller mentioned in his mind. How likely is it to actually happen?
“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 the No. 3 and No. 4 mobile fortresses - the construction of mobile fortresses takes too long If we wait for them to be completed before engaging in a decisive battle, it will be too late.
The freed manpower, material resources and production capacity will be 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?" Brandon laughed.
"We only saved less than 20 pieces in total 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. Peace Can it be compared with Japan? 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 question, Mi He replied confidently that he has always been a person who is good at considering all possibilities and preparing all issues before non-improving meetings.
". Are there 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 various galaxies. If they have self-government, they should be strengthened when necessary, right”
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 Ruubian System Autonomous Government, right? You can prioritize this system to suppress the development momentum of the separatist forces in the system and cut them off from Atlas. With the relationship between the Sri Lankan Group, we can pull out this 'nail' and achieve the effect of 'killing two birds with one stone'."
"What is the specific method?"
"This is not what you and I need to consider. From a certain point of view, the rapid rise of Atlas. Those military-industrial complexes with which you have a good relationship should feel a sense of crisis to some extent now, right?
Now that they have absorbed the Federation? After sucking blood for so long, now facing a common enemy, shouldn’t it be time for them to do something useful?”
——
Just like Brandon and two military bosses, they were discussing how to use the power of the military-industrial complex to cause a little trouble for Atlas in the Lubion system, and at the same time, they were hammering away. This increasingly restless galactic self-government.
Atlas's main combat force began to 'clean up' the somewhat 'hot' planet of Para 4.
The Infinity was also anchored in the low orbit of Para 4 at this time, and put down the 'deployable space-to-earth shuttle module' that many people regarded as a 'miracle'.
The 'Deployable Space-to-Earth 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 passage 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' towards the Infinity above under the action of anti-gravity, and then pass through the last wave near the Infinity. A 'worker bee (outer space working type)' in one channel guides and recovers.
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 is unfolding its modules and becomes A temporary spaceport was built
Of course, according to Saleh, the 'space-to-ground passageway' currently deployed by 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 recovered for the time being, it will be maintained for a long time. Delivery mode' activation.
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 through the efficient transportation capabilities of this delivery channel, with the purpose of clearing out all the enemies entrenched on the ground. armed forces, and at the same time conduct actual combat testing of these new weapons.
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 of the track high into the air.
