Chapter 2073: Chapter 2069 expansion of military power
Translator: 549690339
When Jiang Fei and the rest of the fleet returned to Skoda Star, it had already been more than four months since their departure. Although everything was going smoothly, the interstellar journey was a waste of time.
After returning to Skoda Star, Jiang Fei did not have to worry about the compensation of the soldiers who died in battle. The staff below would handle it. However, he had to take charge of the reception of the new battles.h.i.+ps.
In these four months, the new batch of main s.h.i.+ps that Bella had chosen had been completed. As it was a new type of battles.h.i.+p, it required a completely different production line. This resulted in the production of the new battles.h.i.+ps being more time-consuming, in these four months, only one battles.h.i.+p was launched from each production line. However, because the production line had been expanded, the production of the next battles.h.i.+ps would be much faster.
The new main s.h.i.+ps were lined up in a row. They were all parked in the large military port outside the orbit of Skoda star, waiting for Jiang Fei to inspect them.
Among these wars.h.i.+ps, the cole-cla.s.s battles.h.i.+p was the most ferocious. It was like a giant beast with cannon barrels all over its body. Jiang Fei did not even need to listen to the engineers to explain its abilities. He could already guess its terrifying firepower.
In comparison, the DUNOV battlecruiser was much more “Elegant”. This functional main s.h.i.+p that was modified from an old-fas.h.i.+oned cargo s.h.i.+p did not have many firepower points, its ability was to support friendly s.h.i.+ps and weaken the enemy’s main s.h.i.+p. Therefore, its slender body could ensure that it had the smallest area of impact when facing the enemy head-on.
There was nothing much to say about the sova-cla.s.s aircraft carrier. It was in a normal shape. On both sides of the slender hull were hatches for drones to enter and exit. The only difference was that it was different from other heavy aircraft carriers, the sova-cla.s.s aircraft carrier was also equipped with a missile platform launcher.
Because it had a large number of drone production lines, the sova-cla.s.s heavy aircraft carrier could start production lines to produce some simple missile platforms when it did not need to produce drones. These missile platforms were simple in structure, it would not last long before it collapsed on its own. However, during this period of time, it could completely release all the missiles it carried to provide firepower support to its allies.
The Martha cla.s.s dreadnought s.h.i.+p behind it was unusually arrogant. It was different from the Cole cla.s.s battles.h.i.+p that was covered in cannons. The most eye-catching part of the Martha cla.s.s dreadnought s.h.i.+p was the vast number of missile launchers, jiang Fei could almost imagine how martha-cla.s.s dreadnought would look like in battle.
The last main s.h.i.+p that was waiting for acceptance was the va.s.sef-cla.s.s battlecruiser. At first glance, no one thought of this s.h.i.+p as a main s.h.i.+p because of its appearance alone, it was no different from an ordinary strategic transport s.h.i.+p.
On the Va.s.sEF, one could not see any weapon devices. The few small cannons were only at the level of heavy patrol. They were not worthy of the t.i.tle of main s.h.i.+p, however, this s.h.i.+p was equipped with the most advanced teleportation device. It could send special forces to any corner of the battlefield. It could even ignore the s.h.i.+eld and send special forces to the enemy’s battles.h.i.+p!
A main s.h.i.+p like Kra.s.sev would be useless in the previous era of the Merchant Alliance. On the contrary, the Vasari army was very interested in this kind of battles.h.i.+p because in that era.., the Vasari Army’s marines were the strongest in the universe.
However, it was different now. Jiang Fei had a group of experts from the five directions. These people were able to completely crush the Vasari Army’s marines. Therefore, with the help of this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.., it would be a piece of cake for Jiang Fei’s fleet to seize the enemy’s battles.h.i.+p!
“Everyone, thank you for your hard work!”After Jiang Fei finished inspecting these new main s.h.i.+ps, he first bowed to the engineers.
“Hula…”when Jiang Fei bowed, the engineers around him all moved away. No one dared to accept his bow.
After all, Jiang Fei was the grand marshal of the Empire, the actual ruler of Skoda Star. Some of the more well-informed people even heard that Jiang Fei had abolished Rivendell to become a new ruler, who would dare to accept a bow from such a big shot?
“Grand Marshal, this is what we should do!”An elderly engineer said. He was clearly the leader of these engineers.
“No matter what, thank you all. With these new battles.h.i.+ps, our fleet will be even stronger. Only when the fleet is strong will our losses in the war be reduced to the minimum. I thank you all on behalf of the soldiers at the front line!”Jiang Fei said from the bottom of his heart, in essence, Jiang Fei was not a person who liked to fight. This was especially true for war. This was the last thing that Jiang Fei wanted to happen.
However, there was no other way. The world was like this. It would not change for one person. One could only adapt to this world.
Therefore, war could not be avoided. Only by expanding one’s strength could one reduce one’s losses in the war. Although Jiang Fei did not want anyone to die in the war, if someone had to die.., of course, it would be the enemy!
After inspecting the wars.h.i.+ps, Jiang Fei ordered all the military factories on Skoda Star to start operating at full capacity. Other than replenis.h.i.+ng a large number of main s.h.i.+ps, the other wars.h.i.+ps had to be produced at full capacity. Although the Vasari Army had suffered heavy losses.., jiang Fei had a nagging feeling that trouble was coming.
Jiang Fei had no reason to have such a premonition. Moreover, based on the current situation, it was impossible for any faction to threaten the safety of the empire. However, Jiang Fei was very confident in his sixth sense, therefore, he planned to meet Vinylon again.
After making up his mind, Jiang Fei was not in a hurry to leave. After all, he had just brought Aurelia back. Moreover, he had only been reunited with the girls for a few days. If he left right away, it would not make sense.
Therefore, Jiang Fei stayed on Skoda Star for more than a month. During this period of time, Jiang Fei did not do anything else. He stayed by the girls’side all day long. Everyone was chatting and sharing their feelings.
During this period of time, although Jiang Fei and the rest had lived a peaceful life, Skoda Star had been operating at full speed. A large number of battles.h.i.+ps sailed out of the s.p.a.ce dock. Batch after batch of battles.h.i.+ps sailed towards the temporary military port, this was because the previous military port could no longer accommodate so many battles.h.i.+ps!
Previously, when Jiang Fei and the rest had left, the main reason why the construction of the main battles.h.i.+ps had been so slow was because all of the production of Skoda Star had been placed in the construction of the dock. Now, in the gravity well of Skoda star.., there were battles.h.i.+p factories everywhere. There were s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+pyards everywhere.
During this one month, a large number of transport s.h.i.+ps came from all corners of the Empire to Skoda star every day. A large number of raw materials were transported here. Under the full operation of Skoda Star, a large number of battles.h.i.+ps were launched into the sea, this allowed Jiang Fei’s fleet to be greatly expanded!
After a month, Jiang Fei finally decided to leave because the sense of danger in his heart was becoming more and more clear.
