Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Earth Home" space station.

In a temporary conference room...

"Our losses this time are not small. We have nearly two hundred frigates, and only 72 "Yu-class" frigates are left with combat capabilities. Nearly 50% of the battle losses are not unbearable. The "Morning Council" can only It can keep 50 "Yu-class" frigates."

Although the number of anti-aircraft Gundams that faced the "Morning Council" fleet was not as high as that of the "Rain-class" frigates.

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

Although it has a shield, it is extremely weak and cannot withstand several rounds of MEGA particle cannons.

Coupled with the interference of Minovsky particles, the electronic system was 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 capabilities, it seems to be ineffective against Minovsky particles.

However, despite being at a disadvantage in all aspects, the "Morning Council" fleet was still able to hold back the Gundam troops of the "Xinjing Shogunate".

Two-thirds of more than a hundred anti-aircraft Gundams were wiped out, and only a few dozen Gundams escaped at the last moment.

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

The same seven people, three representatives each from the "UNSC" and the "Morning Council", as well as Li Meng.

Looking 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 suffered a lot of losses, including the loss of eleven Steadfast-class frigates. Four battleships were killed, and three of the remaining seven battleships were seriously damaged. I will leave the four battleships intact. In the next six months, the "UNSC" will send additional battleships to garrison the S-01904 star system. The total number will not be There will be less than 12 ships.”

Speaking of this, Leo looked at Li Meng.

Everyone at the round table looked at Li Meng.

The "UNSC" and the "Morning Council" have both expressed their stance, and then only the "Terra Empire" is left.

Although I hate to admit it, everyone knows it.

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

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

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

The chance of defeating the "Xinjing Shogunate" will be very low, no higher than 50%.

Because it is impossible for the fleets of the three parties to attack the "Xinjing Shogunate" fleet and defensive front without accidentally damaging the trading mall.

There is no possibility of close combat. They may have been wiped out before they even get close.

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

Only by overwhelmingly destroying the defense line of the "Xinjing Shogunate" can the alliance bring final victory.

Facing everyone's gaze, Li Meng looked thoughtful.

Because the empire's warships are too huge, the construction period is much longer than that of small ships from various forces.

Naturally, they are far less numerous than other forces.

Currently 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 to station here."

In this war, the Imperial fleet suffered considerable losses.

Three battleships were severely damaged and were almost in a semi-scrap state with no repair value.

Four battleships sustained moderate damage and three suffered minor damage.

Only three battleships were intact, and even their shields were not broken.

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

For those warships that were almost scrapped, Li Meng asked the Tech Priest to make simple repairs.

Give it the ability to sail in subspace and be able to return to the S-01919 star system with the return fleet.

This is the advantage of a large ship, unless it suffers an explosion or the enemy has super-large-caliber anti-ship weapons.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to destroy a giant ship that is 1.5 kilometers long.

Although the Imperial battleship is huge, its structure is very strong.

No corners were cut when it comes to metal materials. The collision angle of the bow and important parts of the armor are all made of fine gold.

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

In a word, the loss is great, but there seems to be no loss.

Those severely damaged warships can be repaired in up to half a year, even if the time required to return home is included.

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?"

If you want to completely control the S-01904 star system, you cannot rely solely on the fleet, you must also have a powerful defense system.

Only by improving the defense system 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 defense systems is related to the interests of all forces.

It cannot be left to a certain force to complete.

Only by building your own defense system in the S-01904 star system can you firmly enjoy your own interests.

As if he thought of something, Lin Wenshi said: "Let's see, there are five directions in which defense facilities can be built in the trading mall. Each of our three forces chooses a direction. It is up to each of us to decide how to build and how large-scale defense facilities to build."

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

Lin Wenshi's method was the best. No one would be in the way, so Leo naturally had no objection.

Naturally, Li Meng would not refuse.

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

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

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

Seeing that no one had any objections, Lin Wenshi said again: "Then it's settled. Each company will arrange its own engineering fleet to build defense facilities. The "Earth Home" space station will serve as the site for the three forces, and everyone will make their own arrangements for the remaining personnel."

The meeting lasted for a long time.

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

The three companies have different opinions on how to obtain benefits.

The disagreement is not about tax collection, but how much tax to collect.

Should we collect transaction tax and toll tax like the "New Kyoto Shogunate"?

Or is it that only one of the two taxes is charged?

How much should be collected for transaction tax and how much should be collected for toll tax? These issues need to be discussed.

"You can discuss these issues among yourselves. Just let me know the results. I have no objection..."

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

After finishing his words, Li Meng turned around and left with a bored expression, ignoring the pairs of eyes with different expressions.

So boring...

What he hated most was this kind of situation.

Simple issues must be argued endlessly, which makes people bored.

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 in confusion.

"We must be cautious and not go too far, lest we fall into the footsteps of the "Xinjing Shogunate"."

"That's right, it should be as low as possible. I only think of a 5% transaction tax, plus a 5% toll tax..."

"It's too little. Even if you add the 10% transaction tax from the trading mall, the total is only 20%..."

As Li Meng left, the conference room fell into controversy again.
