At this moment, the N77 star field suddenly became the focus again.
Many reconnaissance ships quietly appeared around the galaxy, closely monitoring Lightyear's every move. However, as the Lightyear fleet came in and out, they just hid and watched in secret. Even Chu Jungui tentatively sent a fleet to land.
In one galaxy of the community, there was no response from the community. The ground defenders of that galaxy resisted tenaciously, but without the support of the orbital fleet, this resistance could only be suppressed.
Chu Jungui returned to his flagship and was looking at the latest battle report. The battle report was the latest and extremely detailed, with a large number of real-time images of the battlefield attached.
In the second theater, the combined fleets of the Federation and the Community launched 4 assaults, penetrated the two lines of defense of the dynasty, and occupied 3 key systems. Both fleets suffered heavy losses, with two capital ships each being severely damaged and withdrawing from the battlefield.
.The dynasty has a slight advantage in terms of battle losses, but it has a clear disadvantage in terms of the proportion of military losses.
At the end of the battle report, the dynasty finally started full-scale mobilization and wartime conscription, which also meant that the entire dynasty would become a war machine, everything served the war, and all private property could be conscripted. No matter how bad the situation in the dynasty was before,
, refused to start wartime recruitment, and now it shows that they are really forced to a dead end.
Chu Jungui put down the battle report, looked at the time, opened his personal terminal, and inserted a special chip. A special channel appeared in the terminal, flashing continuously. Chu Jungui entered the channel, logged in, and went through a series of complicated processes.
During the verification process, his vision changed and he appeared in a large solemn conference room.
In the center of the conference room is a long table with ten seats on each side. Surrounding it is a circle of high platforms with two rows of seats, a total of sixty or seventy seats.
Chu Jungui appeared on a seat in the first row of the high platform, and then the meeting regulations and precautions appeared in his field of vision.
This is the conference room of the Dynasty Starship Joint Command Center. Regular meetings are held once a month, and the highest-level combat matters are discussed. Those who can sit on the central conference table are permanent members. Chu Jungui is the leader of the two fleets.
The commander-in-chief has a status second only to the standing committee members. However, Chu Jungui was only observing this meeting and could not speak without permission.
This is the first time he has participated in a meeting of this level. The fate of the entire dynasty's more than 800 galaxies and nearly 100 billion people will be decided at this meeting.
The meeting started, and the opening section was quickly skipped. The chairman said: "There is a new member in this meeting, that is Marshal Chu Jungui, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth and Seventh Fleets. I don't need to say more about Marshal Chu's deeds. Everyone knows.
Already known, we first welcome Marshal Chu to join us!"
After a burst of applause, we moved on to the first topic without any hesitation.
The first topic is about the standards for recruiting private starships. The discussion was short and efficient, and no minute was wasted. The final standards were very broad, and almost all larger private starships can be recruited. This standard is even higher than that of the Federation
The conscription campaign at that time was still exaggerated.
The standards were passed and implemented immediately. However, there was no sign of relaxation on the faces of the marshals present. They were all solemn and heavy. There is no upper limit for this recruitment. Even if the war is won after the recruitment, the dynasty government will face huge compensation after the war.
It will take decades to pay off the debt.
Each of the following issues was quickly discussed and passed.
Chu Jungui listened quietly, and heard a lot of key information throughout the meeting. For example, the dynasty's military expenditure now accounts for 70% of the government's total budget, and it is almost impossible to increase. The proportion of government revenue in GDP has also increased.
As the war continues to rise, it has now exceeded half. This has reached the limit in the dispersed interstellar era, and when recruitment begins, it is possible to directly exceed 100%. The excess will come from the accumulated wealth of the residents.
The huge war machine of the dynasty has finally begun to run at overspeed. Of course, the cost is extremely huge, and many measures have endless consequences. But for the sake of war, there is no longer enough to worry about.
In addition, the dynasty has completed the mobilization of 50 million reserves, and there are still 500 million being mobilized. In the interstellar era, this mobilization ratio has also exceeded the limit. There are still 12 million people fighting on the planets in the star systems that have fallen on the front line, and their fate is inevitable
It will fail, but it can delay the Federation's control of these galaxies and buy time for the dynasty to counterattack.
Another cruel decision was the remobilization of the lightly wounded and the delay in the payment of pensions. The huge dynasty was so embarrassed that it could hardly afford the pensions? Chu Jungui checked the information and found out that
Only then did they discover that the number of people in need of pensions for the dynasty has exceeded 5 million! The normal pension standard for the dynasty is 1 million, and the starting pension for starship crew members is 1.5 million. This is another astronomical number.
After 5 hours, the meeting finally ended.
Before the end of the meeting, the image of an officer appeared in front of Chu Jungui and said, "Marshal Chu, please wait a moment. Minister Cheng wants to meet with you after the meeting."
"Okay." Chu Jungui agreed.
After the meeting, the scene in front of Chu Jungui changed and he appeared in an office. The office was not big and the furnishings inside were very simple. It was hard to imagine that this was the office of the Minister of Defense of the Dynasty.
The marshal who was presiding over the meeting just now was sitting behind his desk. The Dynasty Ministry of National Defense and the Starship Joint Command Center were not in the same system, and he was also presiding over the meeting remotely.
Only then did Chu Jungui have the opportunity to observe closely the core figure in the power center of the dynasty and the promoter of the Great Purge. Most of the military changes in the post-Xu Bingyan era were made by this man. In terms of his influence on the political situation,
Minister Cheng is already among the top three people.
Chu Jungui quickly reviewed the other party's information in his mind. Cheng Weiqi, the dynasty marshal, was also a starship fleet commander. He is less than 70 this year, which is very young for his position. Before the purge, the dynasty's senior officials
There are many people who are nearly a hundred years old, and now more than half of them have been purged.
Cheng Weiqi stood up from behind his desk, greeted Chu Jungui, and then said: "Chen Er told me about you many times, and said that he would resign and work in Lightyear after the war, haha!"
"He's a good joker."
"No, he is serious."
Chu Jungui was a little surprised and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Cheng Weiqi saw Chu Jungui's expression and said: "This is also very simple. Chen Er's previous experience was flawed. Now is a war period, everything can be changed.
, as long as we can win. But it won’t be like this after the war. Everything you have done must be found out, and you must pay a price. No matter how many achievements Chen Er has made, it is still a different matter. After the war, the best he can do is to be exempted from punishment.
, but the charges cannot be eliminated, otherwise where will the law be concerned? If this battle is won, he should resign, and going to Lightyear would really be a good choice at that time."
"Before Chen Er..."
Cheng Weiqi sighed and said: "At that time, it would be impossible if he didn't do this. I understand, but there is no other way. Now that the forces of various aristocratic families have been almost completely purged, I plan to recruit several aristocratic families for this recruitment.
Their roots have been pulled out. If they are left alive, they will be a cancer to the dynasty."
Chu Jungui didn't answer. Speaking of cancers, I'm afraid the biggest cancer right now is Light Years.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Weiqi's next words were: "What I can remove are only small tumors, but the largest ones that are light years away can't be moved, haha!"
After laughing, Cheng Weiqi said: "I was joking."
Chu Jungui didn't believe this.
After joking, Cheng Weiqi said seriously: "You have also seen the situation in today's meeting. The dynasty is very difficult now. The capital system has begun to mobilize and is ready to start fortification at any time. Once the fleet cannot stop the enemy, we will prepare to attack the capital system in the capital system.
Carry out a final decisive battle. If you still cannot hold it, continue to retreat, but you will leave 5 million ground troops in the capital system and drag the enemy into the quagmire."
Chu Jungui knew that if this happened, the capital system would inevitably be in ruins, and the loss would be too great to add to.
Cheng Weiqi paused and asked: "I want to know how many starships Lightyear has now? Can we launch an attack into the heart of the community and force the community to retreat first?"
Chu Jungui had been prepared for a long time and said: "I still have 4 heavy cruisers and 6 light cruisers that can fight, and only half of them can be used. As for forcing the community to retreat, it may be difficult. I have captured nearly 10
Galaxy, but they are completely unresponsive now."
"The community continues to attack! How many starships are you currently building? I want all that can be used within three months!"
Chu Jungui hesitated this time. Although there are many starships under construction in Light Year, most of them are Fog starships, and very few of them can be used by humans. The newly started construction is all Fog starships.
There is not even one for human use. The cost of building one human starship can be used to build seven or eight Mist Starships. Most of the ones Chu Jungui handed over to the dynasty were snatched from the community or captured.
After the starships arrived, we can piece together the parts that were disassembled after cleaning up the battlefield, and we can make up a few more ships, but the hulls will have to be rebuilt. We can now change the terrifying production capabilities of the planet in light years. The difficulty lies in the shipboard equipment.
Building a ship hull couldn't be simpler.
Chu Jungui thought for a while and said: "There will be a new battleship in two months that can barely meet the undocking standards. I wonder if it will be too late?"
Cheng Weiqi's eyes lit up instantly, and the fatigue on his face was wiped away. He rushed up and grabbed Chu Jungui's hand, but missed. Then he remembered that Chu Jungui was just an image, and said: "Everyone
I forgot that you are not here. I want this starship, but you can raise the conditions!"
Chu Jungui thought about it carefully, but he really didn't know what to mention. The current dynasty was in turmoil, it lacked everything and had nothing to offer. After thinking about it, he remembered one thing and said: "There are quite a few
The children of the aristocratic family want to join my fleet, so I hope that the personnel appointments can be more relaxed."
"It's up to you to choose your fleet. Oh, by the way, we still have a surplus of officers. Do we need some support for you?"
Chu Jungui quickly refused. His fleet did not need people, and even the current officers and crew had nowhere to put them.
