The next few days were quiet, and everything was moving forward step by step.
At this moment, on Chu Jungui's desk, there is a virtual starship model, and the details are slowly being filled in. Whenever a sketch becomes a detailed drawing, the corresponding location on the schematic becomes clear. This is a plan to be submitted to the military, and 60% of the design will be completed the day before the bidding meeting. This progress is enough for bidding.
The dynasty's military is a real behemoth, with astronomical amounts of supplies coming in and out. Countless contracts come into effect and countless contracts expire every day. Now the Equipment Procurement and Logistics Department led by Lin Xuansheng has more than 12,000 employees combined. Even such a huge organization cannot handle the massive amount of affairs.
Under this circumstance, the dynasty's military procurement adopted a dynamic and open policy. There were almost no restrictions on the most peripheral bidding meetings, and anyone could participate. This kind of bidding will submit plans and design drawings. You can submit anything, even if you want to build a star destroyer cannon, there is no problem. After the design plan is evaluated and approved, it can enter the second round. The second ring bidding is for specific equipment that the military has actual needs. Companies that pass the second ring review and successfully complete orders will be qualified to enter the third ring. Only those with more than three rings can take orders for large and complex equipment.
What Chu Jungui was going to participate in was actually the bidding meeting of the 4th Ring Company. Only the 4th Ring Company was qualified to produce large-scale key equipment for the military. The battleship is actually about to reach the 5th ring, but what Chu Jungui has given so far is only a preliminary design plan, so it will be arranged to be carried out at the 4th ring.
Ring 4 is a military supplier in the traditional sense. Comet Devre is itself a company of Ring 5, and Lightyear needs a process to enter Ring 4. This is why Lin Xuansheng asked Chu Jungui to bid in the name of Comet Devre. s reason. But in fact, Lin Xuansheng is not optimistic about Chu Jungui's new plan. After all, the battleship cannot be built overnight.
In the cabinet behind Chu Jungui, there is an image of a starship, which is Lightyear's own version. This version of the starship is mostly in a blur. All resources are now concentrated on external models, and there is no excess computing power allocated to self-use models.
The current external environment of Light Year is honestly not bad. Everyone knows that the surface of the planet Light Year is invincible, and the orbit is just a few branches. Even if it destroys all the orbital power of Light Year, there is no point in defeating Light Year on the surface of the planet. The Federation has already proven Lightyear's war capabilities with the disastrous defeat of two ace marines and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of troops. Who else would be stupid enough to challenge Lightyear on Planet 4?
Chu Jungui fine-tuned the production sequence of Planet No. 4, and then sent the news about his preparations to participate in the military bidding meeting to several familiar reporters, using pseudonyms of course.
Several reporters immediately announced the news as if they were on fire. As for verifying the source or something, it doesn't matter at all. And they know that this message has been sent to countless copies, and if they don’t send it out, others will.
At the Fourth Fleet Mobile Command Base, Su Jian walked into his office on time as usual, with an error of less than one minute.
He sat behind his desk, first took a sip of tea at the right temperature, and then opened his personal terminal. The first page that popped up was the Lightyear page. Looking at the steadily rising stock price, Su Jian showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself. : "Want to build a capital ship? Dream on!"
His finger moved, and finally he clicked it hard and issued an order, and hundreds of thousands of light-year short orders appeared. In the turbulent trading, this order was instantly buried without anyone noticing.
Next comes the daily routine of the fleet, including training, reorganization, personnel, and equipment, each with its own chores. Then there are all kinds of intelligence shared from the headquarters, as well as interstellar events. After handling official duties for two full hours, Su Jian took another sip of tea, opened the Light Year page and took a look, and was stunned for a moment.
In this short period of time, Lightyear's stock price soared by 30%! Looking at the dazzling number starting with 2, Su Jian's blood suddenly surged, and he felt the urge to smash something. The short order worth hundreds of thousands of shares is now worth very little. This money may be nothing to other people, but Su Jian himself has no net worth. In order to settle the stupid things his son has done recently, he spent a lot of blood. The loss of this money is very distressing.
Su Jian closed his eyes and calmed down for a few seconds, then began to quickly browse the relevant news, and soon saw the news that Lightyear was bidding for the dynasty's military order through Comet Devre.
Su Jian's face was ashen and he went straight to the logistics department, but a new face appeared at the top of the address book. Su Jian stared at Lin Xuansheng's words for a long time, and his face became increasingly gloomy. Now he roughly understood why Guangnian had the confidence to participate in the dynasty's military procurement.
After pondering for a moment, Su Jian called an acquaintance from the military inspection department and said, "There may be something fishy about the latest military product order. If you keep an eye on a company called Devere Comet, you should be able to gain something. Maybe there will be something fishy." I can catch a big fish!”
"...Don't worry." A hoarse and cold voice came from the other side of the communication channel, and then hung up the communication.
Su Jian found another media person he was familiar with and said, "I have news for you."
The person on the other side of the channel immediately became excited: "It must be big news! Tell me!"
"Comet de Frey will not only get nothing at the order meeting this time, but will also get into big trouble."
"Let me see who Devry's Comet is... light years away! This is really big news! As per the old rules, I will never reveal the source of the news, and I owe you a big favor. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Lin Xuansheng, keep an eye on him, you will be surprised."
"The new Minister of Equipment? Ha, I get it, that's a big fish! He better hope he didn't do anything bad!"
Su Jian cut off the communication and closed his eyes tiredly. After a while, he woke up from his nap and saw that Lightyear's stock price began to turn downwards, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
After watching the trend for a while, Su Jian returned his attention to fleet affairs. Looking at the N77 star field on the star map, Su Jian's brows slowly furrowed again. Sitting in his position, there will be no enemies, and the enemies are all very powerful. So far, N77 is still under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Fleet. The big bosses in the headquarters seem to have fallen asleep collectively, turning a blind eye to the changes in N77 in recent months, and not revising previous orders.
If the order is not revised, it means that N77 is still regarded as dynasty territory. The Fourth Fleet cannot escape the responsibility for losing the territory. It must be fought back, otherwise Su Jian will be responsible. For this responsibility, I am afraid that mere removal from office is not enough. In the past, when the Federation occupied N77, it was easy to say that it could be linked to the longitudinal battlefield. If the battle there was not completed, this side was not the main direction. But who would have thought that the Federation would be repelled by Light Years and spit out half of the star field?
This is difficult to handle.
