After Yang Tianyi and Harland conducted on-site inspections for half a month, they finally found the most suitable location for the new headquarters of Qunxing Group within the Middle East Alliance.
That is the new Baghdad, which has been devastated by war and economic backwardness.
The phenomenon of warlord separatism in the Middle East Alliance is very serious, but because the oil resources have been completely monopolized by the large groups of the North American Alliance and the Pan-Asian Alliance, and the chaotic internal affairs have kept the country's economy stagnant.
This has resulted in the Middle East Alliance government being unable to send troops to eradicate domestic warlords. If the warlords are not eliminated, the country will not be able to develop.
The current Middle East Alliance has fallen into a desperate cycle. The last president of the Middle East Alliance committed suicide in his office less than three months after taking office, his suicide note read.
"I love this land so deeply. It is the biggest regret in my life to see that it has been devastated by various natural and man-made disasters but I am unable to change it."
At the end of his suicide note, he told his family not to try to join politics or the military, and to immigrate to other countries as soon as possible after the country's economy has not completely collapsed.
In his view, even the North African Alliance, which is undergoing a civil war, has a brighter situation than the lifeless Middle East Alliance.
New Baghdad, as one of the few large cities in the Middle East Alliance that is still functioning normally, has recently been threatened by nearby warlords.
The "Baath Front", a coalition of warlords headed by General Nasser, ordered Baghdad to stand on its side and provide sufficient soldiers and industrial products for their "just cause."
General Nasser claimed that his patience was limited. If the Baghdad city government did not give a satisfactory answer to the "Renewal Front" within two weeks, hundreds of large-caliber artillery would bombard densely populated areas of the city day and night, forcing Baghdad to surrender. .
Such a city that is under the threat of war and has relatively rich population and resources is an ideal location for the new headquarters.
Due to the long-term inaction of the central government, the Baghdad city government renamed the city "New Baghdad" more than ten years ago. The city government and the self-organized police army are responsible for the daily operations of the entire city and the protection of civilian safety.
After some negotiations with Haaland, his unusual eloquence and power of incitement won over many city government officials. They all said that if the Stars Group stood behind the new Baghdad, they would definitely lead the soldiers and General Nasser's unholy alliance fought to the end.
New Baghdad, with a population of more than eight million, can still squeeze out a lot of money. Thanks to the operation of the city government and the spontaneous donations of citizens, an order for two thousand Ranger robots was placed at the Star Group's new Baghdad location. in a simple factory.
Volunteered overtime and enthusiastic workers ensured that the robots would roll off the production line before Nasser's troops arrived.
The bribed city officials allocated a tenth of New Baghdad to the group in a collective voting meeting with a very high approval rate in exchange for the protection of the Star Army.
Also allocated to the Stars Group are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the area, and the city government will not interfere in the recruitment of the Stars Group. Under Haaland's masterful propaganda strategy, most people chose to stay at home and wait for the group to assign jobs to them.
In the plan jointly formulated by Harland and Yang Tianyi, tens of thousands of workers will be assigned to work on various assembly lines and construction sites, and there are thousands of adult men who meet the recruitment requirements. Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey should be aware of this. Very happy.
With the cooperation of robots and human workers, the construction speed of the new headquarters will be extremely fast. Unexpectedly, the prototype will be visible in a few months. By then, the military bases densely scattered around the headquarters will make less than half of the Middle East alliance Sheltered under the steel wings of the Star Group.
Although the central government of the Middle East Alliance did not want to give up its nominal rule over New Baghdad, it still had to give in under pressure from both the National Cooperation Bureau and the Elysium Space Management Committee.
...
"Even though our development has now entered the fast lane, we still cannot take it lightly."
Haaland stood next to a holographic projection of the Earth, pointing to the location of the North American Alliance. On the other side of the earth, the Pan-Asian Alliance was also strung together by Haaland's fingers.
"These two countries are the biggest obstacle to the establishment of a new order for the group. Whether it is military, economic, or political, we have no chance of winning against these two countries."
Yang Tianyi watched with a smile as Haaland stood beside the projection and gave an impassioned speech, with Gano and Jato sitting on his left and right respectively.
Garno is not very interested in his boss's plan. His experience as a slave soldier in his early years made him somewhat resistant to bloody wars. He still doesn't want to fight if he can avoid it. As for Jato, he is a pure warrior. He has no problem leading the charge on the battlefield. , but he really couldn't understand these plans.
However, Haaland quickly ended his empty explanation and turned to practical solutions.
His thoughts coincided with Yang Tianyi's.
Starship!
The main theme in the world of stars and the ultimate means of diplomacy between civilizations - interstellar battleships.
In Harland's view, as long as there is even one spacecraft or warship that can enter the hyperspace channel, the establishment of a new order will not be too simple.
A warship that can sail around the earth at sub-light speed and whose nuclear bombs are just the most common ship-borne weapons is by no means the best deterrent that the North American Alliance and the Pan-Asian Alliance can shake.
The swarm missile technology that Yang Tianyi had long forgotten can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of starships. The swarm missiles specially designed for breakthrough point defense systems are rarely intercepted by civilizations even in the world of stars.
Under Haaland's diligent collection, the raw materials for the twelve nuclear warheads required for a set of swarm missiles have been collected, and Yang Tianyi, the nuclear warhead manufacturing project, plans to place them in the new Baghdad military factory.
The yield of each nuclear warhead reaches millions of tons of TNT. If twelve warheads fall in one place at the same time, their destructive power is no less powerful than the former Soviet Union's "Big Ivan" nuclear bomb.
After spending system points to analyze the swarm missiles, Yang Tianyi also came up with a castrated version of the swarm missiles that can also be used with ordinary missiles. Although it is far less powerful than the version carrying nuclear warheads, it is still a good hand in breaking point defense.
The missiles and satellites required for the global strike strategy will also be deployed after the new headquarters is completed. The addition of a large number of new projects will result in New Baghdad being the focus of the Star Group's development in the next one to two years.
Back to the topic of starships.
Are there many starships in the Star World? a lot of.
But that is in the game. As the leader of the entire civilized empire, or the player is the empire itself, of course there are many starships that can be owned.
For the Qunxing Group, which was still in its infancy, Yang Tianyi didn't know how to get a starship that could be used normally.
He was not interested in small spacecraft that were more than ten meters long. He believed in the doctrine of big ships and big guns and was extremely doubtful about the combat effectiveness of small spacecrafts.
To do it, you have to go directly to the frigate - the most basic ship of the civilized empire.
Unfortunately, even the weakest battleship in the interstellar war, a frigate that is hundreds or even hundreds of meters long, requires complex technology that is completely beyond the capabilities of the current Star Group.
Fortunately, Yang Tianyi had a system nearby. He only needed a starship in good condition and he could spend points to analyze all the technologies needed to build a frigate.
Harland saw Yang Tianyi's desire for a starship, and smiled and gave three ways to obtain a starship.
"The first and safest one."
There was a hint of reluctance in Haaland's tone. It seemed that he himself did not recommend this method.
"Look for the Universal Group branch on Fenhabenis. These businessmen are willing to sell their own souls for credit points. As long as they have enough credit points, building a starship is a piece of cake for them."
Yang Tianyi also considered Huanyu Group's method and consulted secretly.
And the reply he got was that it was the last frigate that was eliminated by the empire navy of an unknown civilization.
Fifty million World Credits!
If door-to-door delivery and maintenance are required, an additional 30 million will be added.
Such a price far exceeded Yang Tianyi's psychological expectations. Although it was not unaffordable to bite the bullet, Haaland obviously had a better way.
"the second."
There was a hint of excitement in Harland's tone, and it seemed that he was somewhat optimistic about this approach.
"We can go to the starship cemetery on Fenhabennis. There are many First Alliance starship wrecks there. If Yang's ability is strong enough, you should be able to analyze the available technology."
However, Harland suddenly shook his head and muttered to himself in a low tone: "But all the starship cemeteries are occupied by the scientific expedition teams of the Civilized Empire. Once discovered, if we want to survive, we have no choice but to hide in Paradise. There is no other way outside the world of space.”
"The third one! I personally think this is the best!" Haaland's emotions rose again.
As soon as he heard what he said, Yang Tianyi knew that this kid had probably decided on the third option.
"Not long ago, I established a business relationship with a group of interstellar nomads. The current scale is not large, just some basic contraband transactions."
"As long as we can come up with products that interest the other party enough, I think buying and selling starships is acceptable to them."
