Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Earth House" space station.

In a temporary conference room...

"This time our losses are not small. There are nearly 72 frigates, and only 50 "Rain-class" frigates are still capable of combat. Nearly 50% of the battle damage is not bad. The "Dawn Council" only It can stay behind [-] "Rain-class" frigates."

Although the number of anti-model Gundams to meet the "Dawn Parliament" fleet is not as large as that of the "Rain-class" frigates.

However, the combat power of the "Rain-class" frigate is really a bit crotch, and it is a small spaceship unit.

Although there is a shield, it is extremely weak and cannot hold up to several MEGA particle cannons.

Coupled with the interference of Minovsky particles, the electronic system has been seriously disturbed.

As a result, the weapon system of the "Rain-class" frigate cannot accurately target the high-speed maneuvering Gundam.

Although the "Rain-class" frigate has super anti-interference ability, it seems to be ineffective against Minovsky particles.

However, despite being at a disadvantage in all aspects, the fleet of the "Dawn Council" still held back the Gundam troops of the "Xinjing Shogunate".

Two-thirds of the more than 100 anti-model Gundams were wiped out, and only dozens of Gundams fled back at the last moment.

At the round table, seven people sat facing each other.

There were still those seven people, three representatives from "UNSC" and "Dawn Council", and Li Meng.

Glancing at Li Meng and then at Lin Wenshi, Leo said: "If you want to keep the fruits of victory, you must strengthen the guard fleet of the S-01904 star system. Our fleet has lost a lot. Eleven firm-class frigates have been lost. Four of them were destroyed, and three of the remaining seven warships were seriously damaged. I will leave four intact. In the next six months, "UNSC" will send more warships to station in the S-01904 star system. It will be less than 12."

Speaking of this, Leo looked at Li Meng.

Everyone at the round table looked at Li Meng.

Both the "UNSC" and the "Dawn Council" have expressed their views, and only the "Terra Empire" is left.

As much as I hate to admit it, everyone knows it.

In this war, the fleet of the "Terra Empire" is the main force.

Without the fleet of the "Terra Empire", it is undoubtedly a dream to defeat the "Xinjing Shogunate".

If the "Tara Empire" is replaced by another force, such as the fifth force that appears.

The probability of defeating the "Xinjing Shogunate" will be very low, not higher than 50%.

Because it is impossible for the fleets of the three forces to bombard the "Xinjing Shogunate" fleet and defensive front without accidentally injuring the trade mall.

There is no possibility of close combat, and I am afraid that they will be completely wiped out before they get close.

Only the giant ships of the "Terra Empire" have strong enough shields and strong enough melee capabilities.

Only then can the defense line of the "Xinjing Shogunate" be destroyed like a broken bamboo, and only then can it bring the final victory to the alliance.

Facing everyone's eyes, Li Meng showed a thoughtful look.

Because the warships of the empire are too huge, the construction period is far longer than the small ships of various forces.

Naturally, it is far inferior to other forces in terms of quantity.

Right now the S-01919 star system. The defense forces of the S-01888 star system are very weak, and he cannot leave all the battleships in the S-01904 star system.

After thinking about it, Li Meng said, "The "Terra Empire" will leave six warships stationed here."

In this war, the loss of the Imperial Fleet was not small.

Three battleships were severely damaged, almost in a half-scratched state, and had no repair value.

Four warships suffered moderate damage, and three warships suffered minor damage.

Only three warships were intact, not even their shields were broken.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and no matter how severely damaged a battleship is, it is a better idea than rebuilding one.

For those warships that were almost scrapped, Li Meng asked the technology priest to perform simple repairs.

Let it have the ability to sail in subspace, and be able to return to the S-01919 star system with the returning fleet.

This is the benefit of a large ship, unless it is martyred, or the enemy has super-large-caliber anti-ship weapons.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to destroy a giant ship with a length of 1.5 kilometers.

Regardless of the huge size of the imperial battleship, its structure is very strong.

There is no cutting corners on metal materials, the collision angle of the bow, and the armor of important parts are all cast from fine gold.

As the hardest metal material in the empire, its defensive properties are beyond doubt.

In a word, the loss is great, but it seems that there is no loss.

Those severely damaged warships can be repaired in half a year at most, even with the return time added.

Leo pondered: "It should be enough as a defense fleet. What do you think about the construction of the defense system of the S-01904 star system?"

To completely control the S-01904 star system, the fleet alone is not enough, and a strong defense system is also required.

Only when the defense system is perfected can the alliance truly gain a firm foothold in S-01904.

What Leo said silenced everyone at the round table.

This is the most critical benefit part.

The construction of the defense system is related to the interests of all forces.

It cannot be handed over to a certain force to complete.

Only by building its own defense system in the S-01904 star system can it enjoy its own benefits steadily.

As if thinking of something, Lin Wenshi said: "Well, there are five directions in the trading mall where defense facilities can be built. Each of our three forces chooses one direction. How to build and how large-scale the defense facilities are, each has the final say."

Leo nodded and said, "I have no objection..."

Lin Wenshi's method is the best, no one is in the way, Leo naturally has no objection.

Naturally, Li Meng would not refuse.

After all, this alliance is relatively loose, and it is just a joint military operation.

Building defenses is a claim, a claim to the supremacy of the S-01904 star system.

Li Meng said: "Let's do it like this..."

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Lin Wenshi said again: "Then it's settled. Each company arranges its own engineering fleet to build defense facilities. The "Earth Home" space station will serve as the site of the three forces, and the left-behind personnel will make their own arrangements."

In the time that followed, the meeting went on for a long, long time.

The content of the meeting is very simple, how to obtain benefits and how to distribute benefits.

The three have different opinions on how to obtain benefits.

The disagreement is not about collecting taxes, but how much to collect.

Do you want to collect transaction tax and toll tax like the "Xinjing Shogunate".

Or just one of the two taxes.

How much transaction tax is collected, and how much toll tax is charged, these issues need to be discussed.

"Talk about these issues yourself, just let me know the result, I have no objection..."

Standing up, Li Meng interrupted the debate on the conference table.

After saying that, ignoring the pair of eyes with different expressions, Li Meng turned and left with a bored expression.

so boring...

It was this kind of occasion that he hated most.

Simple questions have to be debated endlessly, which is tiresome to listen to.

Let them fight, he can accept any result.

It wasn't until Li Meng left the conference room that everyone looked away and looked at each other.

"We must be cautious and not go too far, so as not to step into the footsteps of the "Xinjing Shogunate"."

"That's right, it should be as little as possible. I think 5% transaction tax is enough, plus 5% toll tax..."

"Too little, even with the 10% transaction tax of the trade mall, the total is only 20%..."

Following Li Meng's departure, the meeting room was once again in dispute.
