At the Jolly Roger headquarters, Heather Wei was sitting in her own limited and very simple office, carefully reading the statement of the King's Flag mercenaries word by word. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she muttered to herself: "It's really arrogant, a bit unlike him? But that's not bad!"
She answered the summoning bell at the table, and a moment later the deputy came in. The deputy is a woman in her early 30s and looks very capable.
Hathaway opened her mouth and asked: "Where can I find the design drawings of the Champion Knight?"
The deputy was startled and said hurriedly: "The design is a federal top secret. How can we have it in our hands? It is only because of the relationship with the Winton family that we can allocate a few Champion Knights. Under normal circumstances, the Jolly Roger is not eligible to use the Champion Knights. .”
"Well, can we get a few more ships? You can buy them too!"
The deputy looked helpless and said: "The quota is fixed. There is no reason to take it as you say, let alone buy it. Miss, the champion knight is of no use, and it is useless to ask for more."
The little princess thought for a while and said, "That's right, okay, it's okay."
The Champion Knight is extremely expensive, one can be worth three ordinary heavy cruisers, and its daily maintenance is equivalent to four heavy cruisers, but it certainly cannot beat three heavy cruisers. The military expenditure of any legion is limited, and under normal circumstances everyone will choose the ordinary standard heavy patrol. Legions like the Jolly Roger like the Champion Knight very much. Many young generals with prominent backgrounds will buy one as their flagship even if they pay for it. The recognition is among the top five in the Federation, and the same is true on the battlefield.
In fact, of course the little princess knew that it was impossible to get the design drawings of the champion knight, so she just asked. After sending away the deputy, she dug out the statement from the Wang Banner mercenaries and read it carefully.
Earlier in the Canfu galaxy, Wang's flagship team was busy cleaning the battlefield. There was a light cruiser floating in the battlefield, its hull lights flashing, and the signal of surrender was repeatedly given. The two royal flag starships have already moved closer, and mercenaries are taking over various important departments of the starships. Several other starships are heading towards the planet's surface, and the phrase 'confiscating federal government assets' in the statement is no joke.
The orbital station is also an asset of the federal government, but Chu Jungui looked at the big holes on his starship and felt that an orbital station was not enough to make up for his losses. Although the output of survival-grade materials used in the Lightyear starship has increased exponentially, this material is similar to cement in the Lightyear, and it is still a low-grade material. However, no matter how small the loss is, it must be compensated and fully compensated.
Chu Jungui evaluated the value of the orbital station based on waste recycling standards, so the entire orbital station was estimated to be worth tens of thousands of tons of base metal, which was indeed not enough to compensate for Wang Qi's losses. Regarding Chu Jungui's evaluation criteria, everyone from the rail station to the station manager down to the cleaners actually had different opinions, but no one dared to speak out.
Since he heard no objections, Chu Jungui implemented it.
Not long after the mercenaries boarded the light cruiser, the captain's image appeared in front of Chu Jungui. The captain was a middle-aged colonel. His face was pale and he was very embarrassed. He did not even dare to look directly at Chu Jungui. Even if he looked straight at it, he couldn't see anything. Chu Jungui's image had been processed.
Chu Jungui chatted with him for a while and found out the reason for surrender. It's ridiculous to say that it was precisely because Chu Jungui's method of taking turns cutting the ship's hull at the center line that broke the captain's psychological defense. In his words, this was similar to Ling Chi. Chu Jungui had not really thought of this. He cut the middle section because he had calculated that cutting the head would result in the loss of the main brain and main gun, and the value of the entire ship would be lost by 35%. Hitting the tail will result in the loss of propellers, space jumpers and power engines, and the value of the entire ship will be lost by 40%. Only the middle section is mostly occupied by living areas and warehouses, and most entertainment areas are also here.
This kind of rescue fleet that came in a hurry didn't think there was anything valuable in the warehouse. Most of it was supplies of daily necessities. If it was destroyed, it would be destroyed.
Out of the original intention of minimizing damage as much as possible, Chu Jungui commanded his starships to cut one by one in succession, so as to ensure that the cutting area did not exceed 2 meters. If the entire fleet were to fire a salvo, dozens of meters of the ship would be evaporated.
In the end, only a quarter of it was cut, but the crew couldn't stand it anymore and forced Captain Gong to surrender. After all, all the crew members died in the middle section, and most of the senior officers were at the head and tail.
This light cruiser is the biggest unexpected gain of this trip. There is also a lot of equipment and crew on the two destroyers that can be recovered. The orbital station of the Cangfu Galaxy has a complete starship repair shop, as well as supplies for 1,000 people to live in for a year. Naturally, Chu Jungui accepted these without any courtesy. It’s impossible to let go of those starship spare parts in the warehouse.
There were too many things, and Chu Jungui only had one day to stay, so he didn't talk much with the colonel and captain. The rest of the conversation was about Chennault's various orders and his usual command style.
When the communication with the captain ended, Chu Jungui tapped the armrest and said to himself: "This Chennault is not easy to deal with!"
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Kaitian emerged and asked curiously: "Didn't we defeat the inferior creature opposite us? What else is there to worry about?"
Chu Jungui said: "That guy is very cunning. He immediately ran away when he saw that the situation was not right. The entire command basically made no mistakes. If we were a normal dynasty destroyer, then his strategy of using an average of five destroyers to focus on one was That's right, any more words would be a waste. It's just that he would make such a mistake when he met us. In fact, I like the kind of heroic and fearless commander the best."
Kaitian then asked: "For example, like Xino?"
"Yes!" Chu Jungui nodded, "If Xino was in command, I would be sure to annihilate his fleet. In fact, I originally planned to kill more than half of the opponent's fleet at the cost of a destroyer this time. Pity."
Only then did Kaitian understand what Chu Jungui meant, and said: "In that case, this Chennault is really difficult to deal with. It only takes 2 times to defeat normal low-level creatures, but it takes a lot of money to deal with such a cowardly low-level creature. Four or five times?”
"Yes, we have to find a way to kill him." Chu Jungui activated the political component and tactical deception component. The experiment reflected that he realized that killing enemies was not just on the battlefield, but killed more enemies off-site.
The plan proposed by the political component is to publicly humiliate the opponent and let public opinion put pressure on the federal government. Tactical deception was to whitewash battle reports to show the opponent's incompetence, and at the same time bribe senior officials within the federation, which eventually led to Chennault's removal.
After repeatedly comparing the political and tactical deception plans, Chu Jungui finally chose to take the political component plan as the lead, and thus the public statement was released. Despite the exaggerated claims, Chennault's fiasco was an indisputable fact. It can be expected that as soon as the statement comes out, federal public opinion will be in an uproar.
Even if there are knowledgeable people in the federal government who still want to activate Chennault, the people don’t agree!
