The fleet size of Tianhong team here is not much different from Zhou Shaohang's fleet, but slightly stronger, with 7 cruisers, 30 destroyers and 210 frigates.
For example, Fang Chen's current fleet is larger, assuming the battleships are eliminated.
In the early stage, a battleship has the function of a sea-fixing needle, which is equivalent to a large force having a flagship, which greatly improves the overall combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the leader of the Tianhong team at this time did not dare to act rashly. No matter how angry he was, he could only be patient and try to reason.
"Brother, what you're doing is unethical. You've crossed the line and broken the rules. If everyone does this, in the future..."
"Wait a moment!"
Fang Chen interrupted him directly:
"Let me tell you one thing first. Our Shengang team is Zhou Shaohang's team. It was established by me and Zhou Shaohang two years ago. It's just that I haven't come back for the past two years because of something else. Now that I'm back with the fleet, you and Zhou Shaohang The war between teams is the war with my Shengang team. I fight as the military chief of the team. This is very reasonable!"
Jiang Hong looked at Fang Chen with an expression that said, "Don't treat me like a fool."
"Brother, it doesn't make sense for you to say that. I've known about Zhou Shaohang a long time ago and I haven't been interested in this person at all in the past two years."
"That means your information is inaccurate."
"you...."
"What are you doing? I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. Either retreat or fight."
The communication was shut down, and Jiang Hong punched the console hard:
"grass!"
A man next to him asked:
"Boss, what should we do? According to the information we have collected, there is indeed Fang Chen. It was because of him that Zhou Shaohang withdrew from the Ember Guild."
"Of course I know about him."
Jiang Hong frowned and his mind was spinning rapidly.
This is also the main reason why he has no confidence to argue. As a competitor, why didn't he get to know Zhou Shaohang and his team? He knew that they quit the Ember Guild. He knew that Fang Chen was once Zhou Shaohang's subordinate, so now he takes action It is reasonable and reasonable, no one can say anything else.
But it's one thing to know, but it's another thing for a real person to come knocking on your door.
The most important thing is that you can't beat yourself. This is the key point.
Guangchen's current fleet alone couldn't beat it, and if Zhou Shaohang's fleet was added to it, it would be even more incapable. He didn't believe that Zhou Shaohang would keep watching the show when the battle started.
So after thinking about it, it seemed like there was no other choice.
If you don't want to leave this fleet here, there is only one way to retreat.
But he was unwilling to give in. A small mine was nothing to a large guild, but it was a cornucopia for a small team like them. The next one would be a steady stream of income, which could support the team's development and growth. It would not be a problem to double or triple the current base.
But no matter how unwilling you are, there is nothing you can do if you can't beat him.
With his mind spinning, Jiang Hong thought of all the possibilities but could not think of a way to break the situation, so Jiang Hong could only order a retreat with a look of reluctance.
Fang Chen did not pursue him and let him leave.
These may be potential partners or underlings.
Don't look at the fact that they fought to the death and fought several times before. That's because the strength of the two sides is not much different. If one of them completely overwhelms the other one day, there will be two different endings.
One possibility is that the loser quits completely and leaves this star field.
Another possibility is that the loser is convinced of the defeat and is unwilling to leave, so he will choose to join the winner's team and become a subordinate or partner.
It is very common for many guilds to develop and grow by merging former opponents.
Just like the three giants of the Ember Guild, they were developed by merging other teams during the expansion of the guild. The leader of the merged small team may only be an ordinary high-level leader, while the merged large team may become one of the three giants.
In fact, this is what the Shengang team is like now. He and Zhou Shaohang merged to form the new Shengang team, and they are one of the three giants of the team.
It is worth mentioning that they have not determined the specific position yet. Fang Chen is not the military chief of the team yet, but he is inclined to assume the position of military chief of the team.
After driving away the Rainbow team and occupying this galaxy, Fang Chen and Zhou Shaohang will convene a formal meeting with members to formally determine specific positions.
"Captain Fang is awesome!"
"With the Rainbow team withdrawing, this galaxy and small mineral deposits will belong to us."
"Developed!"
At this time, there was a burst of praise in the team channel, and everyone was excitedly talking about what to do next.
Fang Chen looked at everyone's words and could see that the team members at this time were full of vigor, enthusiasm, and aggressiveness. This is very important for a team.
While any team members were chatting in the channel, Fang Chen sent a message to Zhou Shaohang and exchanged opinions with him on issues related to team positions.
"I want to serve as the military chief of the team, and you will serve as the administrative chief of the team. The industrial chief is temporarily vacant. We will talk about it if a brother makes a great contribution, or if the team merges with another powerful team."
Zhou Shaohang was silent for a while and said:
"The military chief needs to have the strongest military strength of the team. I wonder...hiss...well, you will be the military chief of the guild!"
The internal structures of any team, guild, or even legion are similar, with the three giants forming the top decision-making level.
They are the military commander-in-chief who controls the military.
The Chief Executive who is in charge of the human resources and administrative affairs of the team.
and the Director General of Industry in charge of the teams Industry & Economics and Finance.
Logically speaking, the chief executive who controls the appointment and removal of personnel has the highest status, but in fact the highest status among most forces is the military chief who controls the strongest force in the team. The chief of industry usually ranks third.
Zhou Shaohang originally wanted to serve as military chief, but when he was about to propose it, he saw the attributes of the Ascendant of Light (Navy) sent by Fang Chen, and then he wisely shut up.
The position of military chief does not depend on who supports you, but depends entirely on strength.
If there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, the support of other senior leaders of the team is very important, which directly determines who gets the position.
But if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the support of other people within the influence will not matter.
There is a saying that goes, right comes from the stalk of a gun. If you have the strongest force, who can oppose you?
Although Zhou Shaohang felt that the force he now held was not inferior to Fang Chen, and he also had a battleship, he completely gave up his thoughts after seeing the naval attributes of the Ascendant of Light.
"Damn, how come you have such a perverted talent?"
Zhou Shaohang was speechless, but with joy in his speech, he said:
"With your talent and the bonus of basic naval skills, you can fight against five without any problem. The Tianhong team and the surrounding teams are no match for you. When my fleet comes over, I will easily defeat them and occupy the surrounding star field. If we use this as a foundation to develop for a period of time, we will be sure to establish a guild."
"At that time, Lu Guangren will no longer be able to easily rob us, unless he calls in the main force of the Ember Guild."
Fang Chen laughed and said:
"What does Lu Guangren mean to him? You know it. Two years ago, I took away all the Ember Guild's shipyards. There are two battleship dock arrays inside. I have several T5-class battleship blueprints in my hand. As long as there are enough materials and can be constructed immediately.”
Zhou Shaohang clapped his hands and said with joy:
"Materials are not a problem. There will be money to expand the territory. As long as we wait for a few battleships to be launched in a few years, we will be able to protect ourselves."
"It will take about ten years to gather more than ten battleships. With your ability, we will even have the power to counterattack."
Why does it take ten years...
Fang Chen hasn't shown him the ruling attributes of the Lord of Light yet, otherwise he will be even more shocked.
The two reached an agreement, discussed for a while, and finalized the team structure.
Because there are not many team members, even if everyone is assigned a position, there are still a lot of vacant positions.
As team veterans, everyone has a position, regardless of whether they are qualified or not. Anyway, we will take office first at this stage.
When the team develops and there are more people in the future, assessments will be conducted, and those who are capable will be promoted and those who are not capable will be demoted.
Of course, they are the original veterans of the team, and they will not be turned into ordinary members. However, if they are not capable enough, their positions will be adjusted from important positions to some less important positions or relegated to the second line, but the benefits will be greatly improved.
No one had any objections to this decision, and they were not newbies, so they all understood the truth.
After completing the team's internal structure, Fang Chen and Zhou Shaohang went to the planet's orbit to inspect this small mineral deposit.
This is a small white quartz mine with a daily output of about 10 million tons. According to the price of white quartz per ton of 60 star dollars, the daily income is 600 million star dollars, a total of 219 billion star dollars for 365 days a year.
This income is not an exaggeration, but it is stable and continuous, every day.
For the start-up Shengang team, this small mineral deposit is a good and stable income. Zhou Shaohang said to Fang Chen:
"Our original plan was to move the team headquarters here if we captured this small mine, what do you think?"
Fang Chenqi said:
"What about the original headquarters?"
Zhou Shaohang smiled bitterly and said:
"It turns out that the headquarters is temporary. Lu Guangren comes to plunder it every few months and destroy everything. It turns out that the headquarters system cannot be built at all. Over time, it was simply given up. Now the team does not have a formal headquarters."
"That's it..."
Fang Chen thought for a while and said:
"In that case, let's move the temporary headquarters here. However, this galaxy is also a temporary headquarters. We can only build one star port at most. With our development and expansion speed, it won't be long before we find a more suitable galaxy as our headquarters galaxy."
Zhou Shaohang laughed and said:
"That's true. This place is not that good. We are too weak to occupy a good place."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Fang Chen suddenly thought of something and asked:
"You have been here for two years. How well do you know the nearby galaxies? Do you know which galaxy is rich in resources and suitable for being a galaxy headquarters?"
"There are many galaxies nearby that are suitable for headquarters, but most of them are occupied by other teams, or by powerful wild monster BOSS or NPC forces. With our current strength, we cannot occupy any of them."
"Very difficult?"
"Quite high."
"Do you have a star map and detailed information? Let me check it out."
"Of course, I will send it to you now."
Fang Chen quickly received the star map information from Zhou Shaohang. After loading, a large area of the nearby star map instantly lit up.
"You did a good job in your homework."
He randomly clicked on a galaxy marked in red that was more than ten hops away, and an introduction to the galaxy immediately appeared, with detailed information on the reconnaissance inside the galaxy.
"The nameless galaxy has a four-star danger level and two powerful BOSS-level fleets."
"The nameless galaxy has a three-star danger level. There is a branch of the Phegia criminal group in it, which can enhance its reputation."
After looking at several galaxies, Fang Chen clicked on a nearby galaxy marked with a skull:
"The Scarlet Galaxy has a danger level of 9 stars. There is an extremely powerful pirate NPC force named the Scarlet Pirate Group, which can enhance your reputation."
But there is another note under this scarlet pirate group:
"The Scarlet Pirates are wanted by Hanhai Universal Enterprise. Any force that destroys any big pirate in the Scarlet Pirate Group will be rewarded with 1,000 reputation points from Hanhai Universal Enterprise and a bounty of 2,000 billion star dollars."
"Destroy the Red Throne, the flagship of the Red Pirates, and gain 2,000 reputation points and a bounty of 3,000 billion star dollars."
"If we can completely destroy the Scarlet Pirates, our reputation will be raised to a minimum of Reverence + 5000 additional reputation points, and a bounty of 10,000,000,000,000 stars."
"Good guy!"
Fang Chen marked this galaxy as a key point. If he has time, he can go there and scout it to see if there are any opportunities.
Zhou Shaohang's homework was really good. The star map was very detailed. In addition to these dangerous galaxies, the territories of various large and small forces nearby were also circled, including some important resource points they occupied.
There are hundreds of large and small teams in nearby galaxies, but there are only four strongest ones, all of which are large guilds that are more powerful than the Ember Guild. The original Zhou Shaohang is considered to be at the bottom of the group.
But now that he has joined, plus the fleet secretly built by Zhou Shaohang, the two battleships are definitely not weak, and their paper strength has become close to the middle level among many forces.
If the local forces are divided into ten levels, their paper strength should be considered third level, but if Fang Chen's talent bonus is added, the comprehensive force can reach the fourth or fifth level.
After looking at the star map for a while, Fang Chen drew a circle on the star map, pointed to one of the points and said to Zhou Shaohang:
"If we want to develop and become the fifth major force in the nearby area, we must capture this galaxy."
Zhou Shaohang saw that the galaxy he pointed at was connected with the colors of several surrounding galaxies. The corner of his mouth twitched and he said:
"This galaxy is the headquarters galaxy of the Sky Blue Guild. Although the Sky Blue is not the four major guilds, it is still the strongest among the four. Its strength is not inferior to the Ember Guild. We are no match for them now."
Fang Chen smiled and said:
"Of course we are not opponents now. I am just referring to a long-term goal. At this stage, we should first defeat and annex several small forces nearby."
Zhou Shaohang felt relieved, nodded and said:
"That's true. If we can defeat the Sky Blue Guild and seize their headquarters galaxy, we will have a foothold and the ability to compete with the four major guilds."
