1602.Intelligence (Part 1)
"I want to make sure that the Model Sector is foolproof now!" Tang Xiao asked, looking at Volgograd-Kanidi who was participating in the meeting remotely through holographic projection, "My request is that the Model Sector needs to increase its standing army by 20 million. And build spaceports on the planet Annaji, Vathian and Orville III that are enough for 500 warships to dock and supply! It will be completed within two months."
Volgograd-Kanidi said: "In the past month, the immigrant population in the Model sector has increased by more than 5 billion, and this number is still increasing. In this case, large-scale projects are being carried out , may exist..."
"What I want is the result! Once the Model Sector falls, there will indeed be no need to consider immigration." Tang Xiao interrupted him coldly.
"I have already started to let immigrants join the construction project and provide work-for-relief, which will speed up the construction progress of the space port. If the requirements are lowered, it is possible to complete the space port that can accommodate 500 warships to dock and supply." Carney Di said expressionlessly, "But this will undoubtedly slow down the construction progress of the colony, and many people will starve in the future."
"The Model Sector is about to become a battlefield, and this time, the Republic will use all possible means. Maybe soon, you won't have to worry about the population problem." Helmut Zemo said coldly.
Anger flashed in Canidi's eyes, "What are you talking about!?"
"How many orbital bombardments do you think the planetary shield of Planet Annaji can withstand?" Zemo was obviously provoking, "Once it can't withstand it, I think you won't have to worry about overpopulation right away."
"Then do you dare to come here and say this to me face to face?" Canidi was obviously angry, and his voice was like a roaring lion.
Qi Jian stood up and smoothed things over: "Comrades, Planet Annaji is not the only issue we need to consider. The trend of the Galactic Republic is still difficult to judge. There is a lot of information from all aspects, and the only thing we can be sure of is that the Galactic Republic will be at the most A full-scale attack will be launched against us within two months. Therefore, in addition to the Model sector, we also need to prepare for defense in other directions."
"What does the Military Intelligence Department say?" Tang Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. M.
"The Galactic Republic is paying more and more attention to intelligence work, and it is becoming more and more difficult for our agents to penetrate. What is certain now is that there are a lot of hyperspace fluctuations in the 17th Military District and the 20th Military District of the Republic." Mrs. M said, "But this information can be anything, such as civilian spacecraft, such as supply ships or engineering ships. The area under the jurisdiction of the 17th Army now needs to be rebuilt, so it is not surprising that there are a large number of spacecraft movements. But from another perspective, this is also It may be that the Republic took advantage of the situation, made do with it in the ruined base on the planet Kira, and then directly gathered its troops to attack."
"If this is all, then I think there is no need for your Military Intelligence Department to exist." Tang Xiao's tone turned cold, "Wouldn't it be better if I build a few more hyperspace outposts?"
Mrs. M's face turned slightly pale. Tang Xiao's words could be said to be very serious. In fact, she also knew that Tang Xiao's temper was getting more and more irritable, and the saying "Being with the king is like being with the tiger" was gradually reflected in him more and more vividly.
And Tang Xiao wasn't losing his temper irrationally, he was just becoming increasingly unable to accept failure. Especially when the discovery of the Principality of Dawn became more and more powerful, Tang Xiao began to have more choices. Now he will not give any face to the awakened legendary figures such as Mrs. M. With the national power of the Principality of Dawn, it will be very difficult to replace them. easy.
"The Galactic Republic's fleet assembly this time is mainly on the core circle planets. This situation is different from before. In the past, they would assemble the fleet near the front line and carry out sufficient supplies before launching an attack. But now they probably don't think so. "Mrs. M said, "This is their plan to launch an attack from a long distance from the core circle. This will increase the surprise, but after all, the fleet is not in good condition, so the first thing they do after launching the attack is The strategic goal should be to occupy a planet as an advance base."
Mrs. M opened another page of data and continued: "In addition, our latent agents also discovered that in the recent period
Over time, the resource demand of Kuat Power Shipyard has increased sharply, exceeding the normal range..."
"What does it mean to exceed the normal range? Will Kuat Power Shipyard save its own production capacity?" Tang Xiao's expression finally softened.
In fact, looking at the entire galaxy, it is very difficult to obtain intelligence. Because the distance between galaxies is calculated in light years, the distance from the core circle to the outer ring is tens of thousands of light years. At this distance, any observation method is in vain.
To put it bluntly, if you look at Coruscant with an optical telescope from the Dawn Planet, what you see in the optical image is still the situation of Coruscant tens of thousands of years ago. Just kidding, maybe what you are seeing is a war between boasters and philosophers...
Under such circumstances, if you want to obtain information, there is basically only one way - send intelligence personnel or reconnaissance planes there, go directly to the vicinity of the planet to check, and then send the information back through hyperspace communications.
Therefore, compared to the war within the planet, which has long been able to open the entire map through satellites, in the interstellar era, intelligence warfare has become more primitive. The reason why traditional agents like 007 were able to shine before was also for this reason.
The job of an agent is to personally obtain information and then send it out. There is basically no possibility of obtaining information from a distance.
In the early days of the war, because the war was originally a civil war, personnel from both sides were mixed together and everywhere. It was basically difficult to distinguish who was an agent and who was a secret agent. So at that time, especially for Dawn Planet, which had long focused on infiltrating intelligence into the Galactic Republic, intelligence warfare had a great advantage.
However, as the war continues to advance, the Galactic Republic has also purged its own internal affairs time and time again, and the entry and exit management of spacecraft is also very strict. Now in terms of obtaining intelligence, the two sides have returned to the same starting point. The competition now is purely about the methods of both sides.
For example, Tang Xiao wanted to sneak into the planet Korriban before, because this planet was within the control of the Galactic Republic. Although it was relatively remote, he still had to ask for help from the gangster Bloody Dawn on the planet Corellia to quietly sneak into the planet. Sneak in. This is also caused by the Republic's increasingly strict management of spaceships.
Mrs. M said: "Under normal circumstances, Kuat Power Shipyard will not directly fill its production capacity. Because of the financial problems of the Galactic Republic, the orders they have received cannot yet reach saturation, so they are basically in a scientific operation stage. If you want to operate at saturation, you need to invest additional manpower and material resources. These manpower and material resources will not disappear out of thin air after the end of production. Therefore, unless such a state can be maintained, a short-term burst of production capacity will always be accompanied by a large amount of losses. "
Qi Jian frowned and said, "So, this time Kuate Power Shipyard imported a large amount of supplies, does that mean they spent a lot of money?"
"As far as I know, the economic situation of the Republic cannot afford it," Mrs. M said.
