Chu Jungui put on a posture of dying together, and he also did this in several large-scale fleet battles, directly defeating the remaining remaining fleets of the Community with a similar strength. As a result, not many people in the community are willing to fight Chu Jungui. In the eyes of a large number of insightful people and strategic experts, the dynasty will be finished sooner or later. Without the dynasty as a backing, Lightyear is just a small force, and the main fleet will be destroyed as soon as it returns. There is no need to fight to the death with Mr. Chu now.
Chu Jungui did not deliberately seek a decisive battle. Instead, he wandered around, forcing one small country after another to hand over a large amount of supplies and equipment as ransom, and then robbed their docks, space stations, and starships under construction, leaving them with nothing. Destroyed on the spot.
In this way, after wandering around the community for a whole month, Chu Jungui returned to N77 with 15 space docks, 6 mobile bases and 4 million prisoners. Most of the prisoners were local garrison sailors and soldiers, and a small number were engineers.
Chu Jungui's attack was a blow to the community's starship industry, but it was not fatal, and it only reduced production capacity by 10%. After all, the community is too big, and Chu Jungui cannot jump too far into the hinterland of the community. However, the purpose of attacking the community has been achieved. In this month, two more fleet battles broke out between the dynasty and the coalition forces. The losses on both sides were roughly equal. The dynasty was destroyed another capital ship and 6 heavy cruisers, while the dynasty was in service during the same period. There are only 2 heavy cruisers and zero battleships. In contrast, the Federation and the Community added 6 heavy cruisers, which basically made up for the losses of large starships, but failed to make up for the vacancy of capital ships.
After returning to Light Years, Chu Jungui contacted Lin Xi again. Since becoming the commander of the independent squadron, Lin Xi has been at ease, displaying his superb command to the fullest and achieving a very high battle-loss ratio of 1:3. Basically, 40% of the federal losses were caused by her. Chu Jungui immediately decided to hand over the two heavy cruisers that were originally scheduled to be handed over to the Dynasty directly to Lin Xi, and also equipped them with basic crews. These crew members are all prisoners of war from the community and are competent enough.
This time, 2 unfinished heavy cruisers, 5 light cruisers and 10 destroyers were snatched from the community. The completion levels were all around 80%. Those that were too low were destroyed on the spot. Chu Jungui began to make drastic modifications to these nearly completed starships, removing all unnecessary things inside, greatly speeding up the construction progress.
At a time when life and death were at stake, the dynasty finally launched full-scale mobilization, and the upper echelons also began drastic personnel changes. A large number of generals who performed poorly in the war were captured, and some who wanted to enrich the country were severely punished. The downfall of these people also involved many people in high positions. At the same time, a group of young generals grew rapidly, and Xu Bingyan's subordinates who had been abandoned were also reactivated. The dynasty entered an extremely efficient operation mode from top to bottom, and many decisions that could not be made in the past were also made in this context. .
Chen Er contacted Chu Jungui again, this time as the third assistant to the Minister of Defense.
Chu Jungui looked Chen Er up and down and said, "The promotion is pretty fast."
Chen Er said with a smile: "Isn't that what your starships are for? You exchange a bunch of unused armors in the warehouse for starships, and whoever can do it will be promoted."
According to the dynasty's system, the first assistant to the minister is equivalent to the deputy minister, and the third assistant has to be downgraded by half a level. But being able to embark on this path shows that Chen Er has entered the fast track for promotion and has become a pivotal figure in the Ministry of National Defense. One step further is the real upper-level bureaucracy. Considering Chen Er's age, he has a bright future.
Time was running out, so Chen Er got straight to the point: "The Dynasty has now activated a batch of sealed mobile bases. I asked the minister for instructions and approved two of them for you. They should be unsealing them now, and they will start jumping after the maintenance is completed tomorrow."
"How could such a good thing happen to me?" Chu Jungui asked with a smile.
"Of course it's impossible in normal times, but it's different now. Winning this war is the first principle. Important supplies should be placed in the hands of people who can make good use of them. We have drawn up a list internally and will receive priority distribution of supplies. You and The Tianyu Li family is all on the list.”
"Then I'm welcome. Is there anything else?"
"Of course. Didn't I just give you the establishment of two fleets? Of course, it can't be given in vain. Now we have allocated a batch of inventory ship-based equipment, which is roughly enough to equip a fleet. In the next three months, I will give you the equipment for the second fleet. As for the hull, can you handle it yourself?"
"The equipment is so rich?" Chu Jungui asked.
"Many companies are now being requisitioned and converted to ship-based equipment. Our current production capacity is three times that of a year ago. After entering wartime, the production capacity can reach 10 times the usual level. However, the ship body cannot be that fast. After all, The shipyard is limited." Chen Er explained.
After explaining, Chen Er asked again: "Where are the personnel? Do you need any support?"
"No need for the moment, I have prisoners of war."
"Prisoner of war? Will there be no problems?"
"As long as no one holds me accountable under the POW Convention, I'll be fine."
The wise men have already given a plan for the use of prisoners of war. In specialized starships, intelligent sub-bodies will be responsible for all key positions, such as command, combat and life support systems, while experienced prisoners of war will be filled in large numbers into unimportant low-level positions. . In this way, the ratio of intelligent offspring to prisoners of war can reach 1:10, and the modified starship can also be transferred to the dynasty for use. Once prisoners of war do rebel, their positions are not important. They can be immediately cut off and cut off, and then the life support system can be turned off. All rebel prisoners of war can be eliminated in a few minutes.
Even if the entire ship's prisoners of war rebel at the same time, the life support system can be shut down immediately. Intelligent sub-bodies can survive in space, but humans do not have this ability. Therefore, Chu Jungui was not afraid of the prisoners of war rebelling at all.
Chen Er cleverly did not go into details, and finally gave Chu Jungui the title of dynasty marshal, but the authority was not as high as that of a normal marshal. He could not participate in the meetings of the joint command center, but he could check the battle reports of the general level.
Chu Jungui has no objection to this. After all, the Starship Joint Command Center is the highest command organ of the dynasty, responsible for the decision-making and command of the entire dynasty's foreign wars. To put it bluntly, Chu Jungui is still an outsider after all, and Lightyear is also independent. How could it be possible? Let him participate in the highest decision-making? However, the authority given to the general can be said to be full of sincerity, and Chu Jungui felt that there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.
At this moment, the dynasty is in turmoil, and the new group of people who have taken office are working vigorously and resolutely, putting aside all unnecessary worries, so that they can give so much. They obviously realized the importance of Chu Jun's return, so they tried every means to tie him to the dynasty's chariot.
Chen Er finished everything he needed to say, and finally asked: "Do you have any other requests?"
"Yes." Chu Jungui pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, give Lin Xi a promotion."
Chen Er smiled and said: "You don't need to tell me this. Based on her merits, she will be promoted soon, but she can't be promoted any more. If she gets promoted, she will be a general."
Chu Jungui thought about Lin Xi's age. A lieutenant general at this age seemed to be very impressive, so he made his last request: "Punish Su Jian."
