In the agreement reached between Lance and Chris, the Federation will provide a large number of warships to the civilian faction.
And this is also the most important part of the entire agreement.
After all, the reason why the civilian faction has not succeeded in overthrowing the nobles for 30,000 years is largely because of the battleships.
In the Langton Empire, all battleships in the empire are controlled by the royal family with the highest authority.
To put it simply, you usually have no problem controlling the battleship, but if one day you want to cause trouble, then as long as the royal family gives an order, you will no longer be able to control the battleship.
Even, the royal family can remotely control your warship to turn around and attack your own people!
Therefore, although 99.99% of the entire imperial fleet are civilians, they are still unable to resist the rule of the nobles.
Of course, you can learn to be a pirate and often attack some warship production bases and plunder some warships that have been built but have not had time to install the corresponding control systems.
However, just relying on these stolen warships may be more than enough for you to start a piracy career, but if you want to overthrow the aristocratic rule, this number is completely insufficient.
After all, the fleet in the hands of the imperial nobles includes hundreds of billions of warships!
Although the Federation is still the main combat force in the overall agreement between the two parties, the Federation can only join in the form of military support.
And this...
The civilian faction led by Lance needs to play a certain major role in this.
However, with the power currently controlled by the civilian faction, let alone playing a major role, it is very reluctant to just participate and show one's face.
Therefore, Lance needs a fleet, a fleet that is not controlled by the imperial royal family, and the Federation can just provide these warships!
after all...
The Federation has a large number of battleships that have been updated and retired. Although these battleships are outdated for the current Federation, when placed in the Langton Empire, they are still more powerful than the Empire's main battleships.
Of course, the Federation does not provide these warships for nothing, Lance still needs to pay the cost.
Well, from now on, the mining costs of Ailuo metal will be used to deduct it. Only after the account is paid off, the subsequent mining costs will obtain the corresponding federal affiliated civilization points.
In this way, the Federation got rid of tens of billions of decommissioned interstellar battleships, and Lance gained an important force that could confront or even overthrow the noble fleet. The two sides simply hit it off and were so happy.
------
Three days later.
The originally scheduled expedition plan for the federal-affiliated civilized coalition forces... has been suspended.
Instead, countless retired main warships of the previous generation from the empire were pulled out again and sent to Serra one after another through the super star gate.
And Lance, who was on Planet Serra, was not idle either.
You know, although this time the Federation has provided 20 billion battleships equivalent to the peak of level six civilization (according to convention, these battleships have backdoors left by the Federation), but the battleships are there, and you have to keep up.
Bar.
And the number of people required for these 20 billion warships is definitely a very terrifying number.
According to Lance's calculations, when the official operation begins, it will only be able to gather at most the number of people to operate 3 billion battleships, and this is already almost all the personnel of the civilian faction since its development.
As for other warships, they can only fight while recruiting more civilians to surrender and recruit more civilians to participate.
I believe that as soon as my flag is sent out, it shouldn't be difficult, and my fleet will snowball like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger!
As time goes by, a large number of civilian personnel from various administrative regions of the empire gradually gather on the planet Serra. Most of them are active and reserve soldiers of the empire. There is no need to start training from scratch. They can directly board the ship and start to familiarize themselves with the warship.
.
The most interesting thing is that the disappearance of so many active and reserve soldiers did not attract the attention of the empire's senior officials...
Although in normal times, the number of civilians is very serious due to various reasons, but this time such a large number of people disappeared at the same time, the nobles were a little too ambitious.
This also shows how rotten the entire empire's upper echelons have become.
After three months of preparation, Lance now has a fleet composed of 2.8 billion warships!
Even though there are only 2.8 billion in number, this is already several times more than the warships of all the pirate groups in the entire Pirate Federation combined.
Not to mention, there are still 17.2 billion warships idle because there are not enough manpower!
In the past, this would have been something that Lance would never have dared to think about.
Now, the time has come, Lance decided to take action, and his first goal is...
Kepler star field!
------
Kepler star field.
Located in the Weiss galaxy group and the third main spiral arm of the Cassano galaxy, it is one of the nine star fields in the galaxy and is also the star field where the Serra star is located!
The core location of the Kepler star field, Executive Star Rabbi.
In the Governor's Mansion, which is full of the atmosphere of the nouveau riche, Governor Osar is leisurely drinking afternoon tea and enjoying the life of a noble.
"Sir Governor, according to statistics, in the past three months, the number of personnel in our fleet has been reduced to 7 billion. This is really abnormal!"
"What's wrong? It's not that those bastards have overplayed their game. They are nothing more than some untouchables who will die as soon as they die. Anyway, they are like ants, they will never stop dying no matter how hard they die!"
Looking at the secretary who was reporting respectfully in front of him, Osar looked indifferent and even showed a look of not bothering me with this kind of thing.
In his opinion, this kind of thing is too normal.
After all, the nobles under their command like to play various games when they have nothing to do, and among them, the interstellar war game is the most popular among the noble gentlemen!
That’s right, it’s an interstellar war game!
Pull some warships from their respective fleets and conduct "live-fire exercises" to make a bet.
It is precisely because of this that even in peacetime, the imperial fleet suffers a large number of attrition of troops and training damage to battleships every year.
At this moment, regarding the secretary's report, Osar just thought that his group of guys were getting the upper hand.
"These guys don't know how to exercise restraint!"
While complaining, Osar continued to drink afternoon tea, not taking the matter seriously at all.
The secretary could only look helpless, but did not dare to say anything more.
But he knew in his heart that this time it was definitely not caused by the "live-fire exercise" of that group of aristocratic young men, but that such a large group of people really disappeared.
It feels like something big is going to happen!
------
In a colorful space, a huge fleet was marching in it, and Lance... was located inside one of the Titan-class battleships.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in hyperspace outside the porthole, Lance was also filled with emotion.
He never thought that in his lifetime, he would be able to command such a huge and powerful fleet, and be able to use technology that even the Empire did not have, and travel in the legendary hyperspace.
Perhaps, the 30,000-year long cherished wish of the civilian faction will be realized in their own hands...
"Chief, we are about to arrive at the star system where the executive star Rabbi is located, and there is a 30-second countdown to exiting hyperspace!"
