At the Jolly Roger headquarters, Heather Wei was sitting in her own limited and very simple office, carefully reading the statement of the Wangqi mercenaries word by word. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she said to herself: "It's really
It's arrogant, a bit unlike him? But that's not bad!"
She answered the call bell at the table, and a moment later the deputy came in. The deputy was a woman in her early 30s and looked very capable.
Hathaway opened her mouth and asked: "Where can I find the design of the Champion Knight?"
The deputy was startled and said hurriedly: "The design is a federal top secret. How can we have it in our hands? It is only because of the relationship with the Winton family that we can allocate a few Champion Knights. Under normal circumstances, the Jolly Roger is not eligible to use the Champion Knights.
.”
"Well, can we get a few more ships? You can buy them too!"
The deputy looked helpless and said: "The quotas are fixed. There is no reason to take it as soon as you say it, let alone buy it. Miss, the champion knight sees no use in it, and it is useless to ask for more."
The little princess thought for a while and said: "That's right, okay, it's okay."
The Champion Knight is extremely expensive. One can be worth three ordinary heavy cruisers, and its daily maintenance is equivalent to four heavy cruisers, but it will definitely not be able to beat three heavy cruisers. Any legion’s military expenditure is limited, and under normal circumstances everyone will choose it.
Ordinary standard heavy cruiser. Legions like the Jolly Roger like the Champion Knight very much. Many young generals with prominent backgrounds will buy one as their flagship even if they pay for it. The recognition is among the top five in the Federation, and the same is true on the battlefield.
In fact, of course the little princess knew that it was impossible to get the design drawings of the champion knight, so she just asked. After sending her deputy away, she pulled out the statement from the mercenaries of the King's Banner and read it carefully.
Earlier in the Sogo galaxy, the King's flagship fleet was busy cleaning the battlefield. There was a light cruiser floating in the battlefield, its lights flashing, and it repeatedly signaled surrender. Two King's flagship starships had already approached, and the mercenaries
They are taking over all important departments of the starship. Several other starships are heading to the surface of the planet. The statement 'confiscating federal government assets' is not a joke.
The orbital station is also an asset of the federal government, but Chu Jungui looked at the big holes on his starship and felt that one orbital station was not enough to make up for his losses. Although the output of survival-grade materials used in the lightyear starship has already reached a certain number
Level upgrade, this thing is similar to cement within light years, and it is still a low-grade one, but no matter how small the loss is, it must be compensated, fully compensated.
Chu Jungui evaluates the value of the orbital station based on waste recycling standards. In this way, the entire orbital station is estimated to be worth tens of thousands of tons of basic metal, which is indeed not enough to make up for Wang Qi's losses. As for Chu Jungui's evaluation standards, the orbital station
Everyone from the station manager to the cleaners actually have different opinions, but no one dares to speak out.
Since he heard no objections, Chu Jungui implemented it.
Not long after the mercenaries boarded the light cruiser, the captain's image appeared in front of Chu Jungui. The captain was a middle-aged colonel, his face was pale, and he was very embarrassed, and he did not even dare to look directly at Chu Jungui. He was
Even if you look directly, you can't see anything. Chu Jungui's image has been processed.
After Chu Jungui chatted with him for a while, he learned the reason for the surrender. It's funny to say that it was precisely because Chu Jungui's method of taking turns cutting the ship's hull on the center line broke the captain's psychological defense. According to him, this was the same as Ling Chi's.
Almost. Chu Jun had not thought of this before he returned. The reason why he cut the middle section was because he had calculated that if he cut the head, he would lose the main brain and main gun, and the value of the whole ship would be lost by 35%. If he cut the tail, he would lose the propeller and the space jumper.
and power engines, the value of the entire ship has been lost by 40%. Only the middle section is mostly occupied by living areas and warehouses, and most of the entertainment areas are also here.
This kind of rescue fleet that rushed in in a hurry didn't think there was anything valuable in the warehouse. Most of it was supplies of daily necessities. If it was destroyed, it would be destroyed.
Out of the original intention of minimizing damage as much as possible, Chu Jungui commanded his own starships to cut one by one, so as to ensure that the cutting area did not exceed 2 meters. If the entire fleet were to fire in a salvo, the ship's hull of dozens of meters would be
Evaporated and gone.
In the end, only a quarter of it was cut off, but the crew couldn't stand it anymore and forced Captain Gong to surrender. After all, all the crew members died in the middle section, and most of the senior officers were at the head and tail.
This light cruiser is the biggest unexpected gain of this trip. There is also a lot of equipment and crew on the two destroyers that can be recycled. The orbital station in the Canfu system has a complete starship repair shop and supplies for 1,000 people to live for one year.
Naturally, Chu Jungui accepted all the supplies without any courtesy. It was impossible to let go of the starship spare parts in the warehouse.
There were too many things, and Chu Jungui only had one day to stay, so he didn't talk much with the colonel and captain. The rest of the conversation was about Chennault's various orders and his usual command style.
When the communication with the captain ended, Chu Jungui tapped the armrest and said to himself: "This Chennault is not easy to deal with!"
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Kaitian appeared and asked curiously: "Didn't we defeat the inferior creature opposite us? What else is there to worry about?"
Chu Jungui said: "That guy is very cunning. He immediately ran away when he saw that the situation was not right. The entire command basically made no mistakes. If we were a normal dynasty destroyer, then his strategy of using an average of five destroyers to focus on one was
That's right, any more words would be a waste. It's just that he would make such a mistake when he met us. In fact, I like the kind of heroic and fearless commanders the best."
Kaitian then asked: "For example, like Xino?"
"Yes!" Chu Jungui nodded, "If Xino was in command, I would be sure to annihilate his fleet. In fact, I originally planned to pay the price of a destroyer this time and kill more than half of the opponent's fleet.
Pity."
Only then did Kaitian understand what Chu Jungui meant, and said: "In other words, this Chennault is really difficult to deal with. It only takes 2 times to defeat normal low-level creatures, but it takes a lot of money to deal with such a particularly cowardly low-level creature.
Four or five times?”
"That's right, we have to find a way to kill him." Chu Jungui activated the political component and tactical deception component. The experimenter now realized that killing enemies is not just on the battlefield, but kills more enemies off-site.
The plan given by the political component was to publicly humiliate the opponent and let public opinion put pressure on the federal government. Tactical deception was to whitewash battle reports to highlight the opponent's incompetence, while at the same time bribed senior officials within the federation, eventually leading to Chennault's removal.
After repeatedly comparing the political and tactical deception plans, Chu Jungui finally chose to take the political component plan as the leading option, so the public statement was released. Although the statement was slightly exaggerated, Chennault's fiasco was an indisputable fact. It can be
It was expected that as soon as the statement came out, federal public opinion would be in an uproar.
Even if there are knowledgeable people in the federal government who still want to activate Chennault, the people don’t agree!
