Eliza stood in the command room, surrounded by projections of the combat status of various star systems.
The exploding firelight kept shining on her face.
A large number of staff are running around in the command room, staggeredly submitting data and integrating intelligence.
"The Empire's Third Fleet has lost its combat capability!"
"The enemy has only 433 warships left, and the joint fleet of the Communist Welfare Association will arrive in 75 minutes."
"The Gongda Galaxy has been breached, please support!"
....
A series of reports popped up in front of Eliza.
In addition to the fleet commander having to deal with these battle situations, she also has to review them. Such control is often frightening.
The battle is not going well.
Eliza understood the current situation very well.
The system with the broken stargate is only 4 jump points away from the nearest battlefield.
Under the powerful fleet of the Shared Welfare Association, the empire with the Star Gate had no choice but to surrender.
But the combined fleets of the three alliances also came, vowing to take a bite of this piece of fat.
If everyone hadn't tried to reduce losses and wait until the most powerful enemy was defeated before fighting, I'm afraid the Shared Welfare Association wouldn't have been able to sustain it for long.
To put it simply, everyone is dragging it until a certain party’s resources can’t keep up.
The battle is not only focused on the present, the future must also be considered.
If resources are exhausted and there is no defense capability, let alone fighting for strategic locations, the covetousness of surrounding empires will not be easy to solve.
If you are not careful, you will lose both your wife and your troops.
And Eliza was also waiting for time, until today, the communication that was due finally came.
In the meeting communication, the bearded man nodded slightly to Eliza to express his greetings.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Eliza." This person smiled, his face was rosy, and he was obviously happy.
"Well, I salute you, Mr. Osman."
Eliza also bowed her head slightly, showing some sincerity to this ruler who was older than herself.
This time, she was asking for something from him, and she still had to give him the due etiquette.
"We don't need to be so polite, let's just talk about business." Looking at the serious Eliza, Osman simply skipped the troublesome etiquette and went straight to the topic of both parties.
"OK....."
Eliza nodded and began to launch the fleet leasing project for this campaign.
Fleet leasing is a special project that a military empire can launch.
Provide assistance to the opponent with a fleet of ships at a relatively affordable price.
This will not violate the regulations of war, but also achieve the purpose of replenishing warships.
As for the price, it depends on the battleship's combat capabilities.
However, they are leasing the fleet, not buying and selling the fleet. The assisting fleet will not fight to the end and can retreat after receiving a certain amount of damage.
The current market price is: 0.5%-1.5% of the cost of each warship per day, at least one month.
The Ottoman Empire has recently concluded its conquest in the second sector, is in a stable state, and has many expanded warships on hand.
Osman was a little surprised when he received the lease request from Eliza of the Newland Empire.
I even thought about taking this opportunity to attack the Gongfu Society and annex the Baolai Empire.
However, due to the agreement signed between the Daxia Empire and the Newland Empire to ensure the security of the wormhole galaxy, it could only be abandoned.
"Battle damage level 30%, rental amount of 600,000 energy coins..."
Osman looked at the lease agreement sent by Eliza, thought about it for a while and asked: "How many battleships do you want?"
"The entire quota, if possible, all the battleships will be fine, as long as you can provide it."
Eliza's expression remained unchanged, and she replied without hesitation like a rich man from the Middle East.
Ottoman snorted softly, "Do you think the Ottoman Empire cannot provide that many warships?"
What a big-hearted woman, with a quota of 600,000, you can rent hundreds of battleships.
Moreover, the daily fleet rental requires at least 600 units of energy coins. How much resource output does the Newland Empire have?
Eliza shook her head slightly, "This is the first time we have cooperated. I have shown enough sincerity and I believe you will make arrangements properly."
Osman looked at her for a while, then smiled approvingly, "Interesting, you have quite a bit of style."
Eliza didn't reply, just waiting for the other party's answer.
The price she gave for this lease order was not low, and the maintenance costs of the fleet were also paid by the Newland Empire. After all, the Ottoman Empire was able to earn nearly half a million energy coins in a short period of time, and the profits were generous enough.
Therefore, she is confident enough to believe that Ottoman will agree to this lease fleet agreement.
"Well, it's not impossible to provide all the battleships, but I also need part of the fleet to defend the border."
Sure enough, Osman agreed to this project and gave the number of fleets he could provide.
"So, this time I will provide 200 battleships, 1,300 heavy cruisers, and 900 destroyers."
"This has actually exceeded the limit. The excess will be considered as a gift from me, but the rental fee will still be calculated as usual."
As Osman spoke with pride, the number of fleets appeared in the Lend-Lease Agreement.
Speaking of sincerity, this proposal is amazing.
Eliza was also a little surprised, and replied with a slightly grateful tone: "Although we are not close partners, you have won my friendship. The Newland Empire will establish diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire. I hope you will not refuse.
.”
After the two empires complete the establishment of diplomatic relations, the exchanges between the two sides will experience explosive growth.
If the Ottoman Empire and the Newland Empire established diplomatic relations, there would be signs of a powerful alliance between the two military empires.
Osman did not refuse, nor did he agree immediately. He just left the communication with an inexplicable smile.
Eliza looked at the electronic image that remained after the other party exited, and pondered for a moment.
Regardless of the other party's intentions, now they have the Ottoman Empire's fleet.
The war in the third sector will take a turn for the better.
"Winston, contact the economic department to increase your income and ensure that the average daily income this month is more than 750 points!"
Eliza contacted the Star Governor to initiate the order, which was a goal that must be achieved no matter what.
The Newland Empire's own energy coin income has just reached 500 per day.
The income from trade and vassalage is quite good, with hundreds of thousands of income per month, but this part must be guaranteed above the operation of the fleet.
They are transported to various shipyards almost all the time.
The demand for professionals has also increased the empire's load of consumer goods. The current income is already at a flat state. If the war situation is unfavorable, it will surely fall into a landslide and enter a stage of negative growth.
The slightly obese Winston quickly quit the communication after receiving the order, and immediately convened the team to implement the temporary revenue growth plan.
There are many projects that can be run for temporary growth needs like this.
Increase the intensity of production and dumping, and conduct semi-mandatory trade transactions.
Exploit the subject countries and exploit the alliance members.
Or, allow some smuggling activities to increase additional income...etc.
There are many methods, but the main thing Star Governor has to consider is the impact it will have in the future.
And this must-win place in the third star sector now seems to be coming to an end...
