Chapter 1784: Chapter 1784, cooperation requirements
“Requirements?”l.u.s.ter was overjoyed. He had spent so much effort to get Jiang Fei to become an official. Moreover, he had even handed over the most elite fleet to him. He did not expect Jiang Fei to not thank him at all, he had to make a condition before he could accept it.
“That’s right!”Jiang Fei nodded. It was as if the commander of the fleet was not a valuable job at all.
“Tell me!”Lu site laughed. He wanted to know what Jiang Fei was up to.
“First of all, I demand the absolute command of this fleet!”Jiang Fei said.
“Absolute command? What Absolute Command?”Lu site frowned. Jiang Fei’s first condition was already sharp enough. How absolute was the absolute command? Could it be that even if he rebelled, the fleet would have to obey him?
“As long as the fleet moves outside the Merchant Alliance’s territory, you can not interfere!”Jiang Fei said. He did not want to have a king on his head. When that time came, he would have all sorts of restrictions.
“HMM, I’ll think about it. You can continue.”Lu site nodded. Although it was the absolute command for the fleet to move outside, what if Jiang Fei kidnapped the fleet?
“I want a dedicated Air Base!”Jiang Fei said.
“That’s not a problem!”Lu site did not have any doubts about this condition and agreed on the spot.
“Don’t be in a hurry to agree. I’m not done yet. I want an independent planet with all the necessary facilities, especially the important industrial facilities!”Jiang Fei said.
“Tell me more!”Lu site’s smile disappeared.
“More specifically, this planet must be able to produce battles.h.i.+ps independently!”Jiang Fei said as he looked straight into Lu site’s eyes.
“Hiss… you sure have a big appet.i.te!”Lu site frowned.
“Don’t worry. I’m not asking you for nothing. When the battles.h.i.+ps are produced, I’ll give you a few of the ones I can’t use!”Jiang Fei smiled confidently.
“HMM? ! You want to build your own battles.h.i.+ps? Do you have a unique blueprint?”l.u.s.te was suddenly excited, the technology of the business alliance was not as good as the Vasari Army. After all, they were a group of merchants who developed their technology later on in order to protect themselves. Although the civilian technology was very advanced, the military technology.., especially in the aspect of battles.h.i.+ps, they were really lacking.
Why were the Merchant Alliance’s wars.h.i.+ps so ugly? Why did they develop cheap wars.h.i.+ps? It was because their technology was not good, and they could only use numbers to make up for it. However, this also caused a problem, and that was the high casualty rate!
The high casualty rate might not be of much significance to the “Players”. After all, they only lost their s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, and they could just buy them later. However, every time the merchant alliance lost a wars.h.i.+p.., that meant that tens of thousands of soldiers would die in battle. In a s.p.a.ce war, human lives were not worth much.
However, it was easy to die, but it was difficult to train them. Even if ordinary soldiers could use clone warriors, what about high-level pilots? What about the captain of the battles.h.i.+p? What about high-level maintenance personnel? This would take more than ten years or even decades to train.
Therefore, improving the performance of the battles.h.i.+p had always been an urgent matter for the merchant alliance. Therefore, when Jiang Fei hinted that he could provide new blueprints, l.u.s.te was immediately tempted.
Similarly, Jiang Fei had to find someone to work with. The reason was very simple. Firstly, he did not have money!
Money was a fatal thing. War was all about money, especially s.p.a.ce wars. The cost of a battles.h.i.+p was unimaginable for ordinary people. Without sufficient funds, Jiang Fei could only build a batch of battles.h.i.+ps, after the war was over, there would be no more battles.h.i.+ps!
Therefore, he had to find someone to work with. Naturally, the merchant alliance was the best choice.
The second reason why Jiang Fei found someone to work with was that he lacked a large number of basic industries. Although 0541’s factory could make parts for a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, it could build one, the time required to build a fleet was too long. Jiang Fei could not wait.
It was precisely because of these two reasons that Jiang Fei had to find someone to cooperate with. The two strongest forces in the universe were the Vasari Army and the Merchant Alliance. However, the Vasari Army was too evil. Moreover, there were too many experts inside, jiang Fei was afraid that he would not be able to handle it. As for the merchant alliance, although these rich people had money and could hire some thugs, which hermit-level expert would work for a few dollars?
Therefore, once he broke with the Merchant Alliance, Jiang Fei was not afraid at all with his own strength. This was considered foolproof.
It was because of these considerations, coupled with the fact that Jiang Fei was in the merchant alliance, it was natural for him to choose the merchant alliance as his partner.
“You will know when the time comes. Now, it’s up to you to decide.”Jiang Fei smiled faintly. He knew that these profiteers were also hanging on to him. That was why he would take the bait.
“I can’t make my own decisions on this matter. Wait a moment. I’ll contact you again later!”Lu site said and hung up the call. It was obvious that he was looking for other big shots to negotiate.
“Husband, are you really going to cooperate with them?”Bella asked.
“Yes, that’s a must!”Jiang Fei nodded.
“We worked hard to get the blueprint. Why should we let them have it?”Sylvie rolled her eyes.
“It’s not that we let them off so easily. This time, they are going to pay a huge sum of money. Moreover, how can we stop the ‘player’fleet that is about to appear? When that happens, the entire universe will join forces to fight back. With their small broken s.h.i.+ps, they will become cannon fodder for the ‘players’to level up? “Give them some new s.h.i.+ps. Let them take some hits even if they get hit!”Jiang Fei said with a sigh.
If it was any other time, he would not be willing to share the new blueprints with others. However, in the face of the threat of “Players”, he had no choice but to act selflessly.
“What do you plan to do? Build according to the blueprints we have?”Bella asked.
“That won’t do. Let’s not talk about the Merchant Alliance’s technical standards. Let’s talk about the many components of the “Player”battles.h.i.+p. We have nowhere to go!”Jiang Fei sighed.
“What do you mean? So, we can only make the monkey version?”Sylvie frowned. If that was the case, how could they fight against the “Players”!
“The monkey version is for sure. There’s nothing we can do about it. However, 0541 and I have also modified the localization of the blueprint. Although the combat power is slightly inferior to the original battles.h.i.+p, the difference won’t be too big. The main thing will still depend on the ability of the commander,”said Jiang Fei with more confidence, even if it was the second generation of the Merchant Alliance, they would still graduate from the Interstellar Naval Academy. No matter what, they were still much better than the “Players”who came to play!
