1603.Intelligence (Part 2)
"Can't the Republic's finances afford such a production capacity? It's hard to imagine that businessmen like Quat Power Shipyard would make such a decision. This will mean that their expanded production capacity this time, the additional production lines, engineers, and skilled workers will all be counted. There are additional costs, and no one will pay for them." Ling Liang frowned.
"What about the financial market?" Tang Xiao turned his head and glanced at a holographic projection next to him.
Surprisingly, it is Thorn Hill, the current co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association (M). Now the Muen Chairman is a little more ruthless than before. He is holding a black cat in his arms, wearing some ferocious-looking decorations, and his eyes are very sharp.
Ever since the Interstellar Banking Association split into the human faction headed by the planet Scipio and the Munn faction headed by the planet Mequito, the struggle has been as fierce as a frontal battlefield.
Whether it is suppressing the unstable factors internally or the financial struggle with the planet Scipio externally, it is extremely cruel.
Not to mention anything else, in the past six months alone, Thornhill directly planned more than a thousand assassination plans. Over time, his temperament naturally changed.
"The 50 trillion credit bonds previously issued by the Galactic Republic through Rush-Clovis have not yet been made clear. Due to the status of the Quat Power Shipyard, they will not accept such bonds. And the Galactic Republic now has nothing but this Apart from the credit bonds, there is simply no money to continue paying military expenses." Thorn-Hill said, "So this time the Kuat Power Shipyard expanded its production capacity, I think it was the Galactic Republic that provided the mortgage and then allowed them to do this."
"There is almost no doubt that this expanded production capacity will be used by us." Qi Jian said, "Can you estimate the approximate number of warships?"
"This unusual mobilization of supplies started about a month ago. But more than a month is not enough to complete the manufacturing of a thousand-meter-class battleship. The complete process will take at least three months. Therefore, it is very difficult It’s hard to estimate,” Mrs. M said. Cold sweat was already streaming down her forehead, because during the recent period, the Galactic Republic's intelligence control had been unprecedentedly tight, which put her intelligence department under pressure.
At this time, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side, "Um...can I talk about it?"
Everyone turned their heads, only to see that it was Adele Ulan who raised a hand and spoke timidly!
She actually didn't need to attend the meeting, but Benjila-Ulan at least nominally handed her the position of executive director of Rendili Interstellar Power Company, so she still needed to attend.
It's just that she never spoke before, just being a vase and duchess, but this time, she actually mustered up the courage to speak.
This surprised everyone present.
"Say." Tang Xiao nodded expressionlessly.
"Actually... even if we don't use all our production potential, it doesn't mean that we do nothing. Whether it's Quart or Rendili, it's the same... that's Corellia. Engineering companies, they mainly deal in small and medium-sized warships and civilian spacecraft, so they are relatively free." Adele Ulan said, "For example, if we receive an order for 100 warships, but we will not Probably only exactly 100 battleships will be produced."
"How much should that be?" The speaker was Volgograd Kanidi. He seemed to be angry, or perhaps he was really interested in such production management topics.
"From the perspective of orders, if there are some problems with the warships produced, we need to have alternate products immediately instead of starting production again. And from the perspective of production management and cybernetics, all the parts we produce , It’s all based on batches.” Adele Ulan said that she was no longer sleepy, and the analysis was clear and logical, “For example, the compression device of the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon, a batch of 4705 units can maximize the It uses raw materials and production equipment, and armor shock-absorbing plates are generally produced in a batch of 120,000 pieces..."
She worked on the computer for a while, listing a large amount of data, "In normal times, although we are not allowed to produce more than ordered,
There is a single number of battleships, but in fact all parts are prepared in large quantities, and the frames of the battleships are usually produced and placed there. "
"So, Kuat Power Shipyard can assemble a large number of warships in a short period of time after expanding production?" the flagship asked.
"That's right. For example, after the planet Rendili turned from darkness to light, we were able to produce more than 150 Victory-class Star Destroyers in just two months. That's how it came about." Adele Ulan said, "We I have visited Kuat Planet before and based on judgment, they should have the ability to assemble more than 1,000 warships in a short period of time. However, because these warships have reserved parts and frames, there should not be many of the latest models, and there are not many of them. Some are small and medium-sized warships."
She continued to click on a large amount of data on the computer, "For example, if the spare parts of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser were to be used on the Knight-class Star Destroyer, it would take at least 8 to 10 Jaeger-class ships to piece together one. Knight-class ships. In short, it depends on the other party's choice. According to my judgment, in terms of thousand-meter-class battleships, Kuat Dynasty Shipyard should be able to produce about 200 ships, and there should not be too many Knight-class Star Destroyers. .”
Qi Jian's face became solemn, "If such a force were to rush over in one fell swoop, it is estimated that no front except for the Eriadu system would be able to guarantee its defense."
"Is it possible for the second ship of the Ankeron-class Titan battleship to form its initial combat effectiveness in the near future?" Tang Xiao turned to ask the representative of the Jiwen people.
"It's completely impossible." The Given shook his head vigorously. "The frame of the Titan battleship has not even been completed yet, and only part of the internal system has been installed."
"If the Galactic Republic suddenly adds such a force, it will be very bad news for us. We even have to prepare for the possibility that at least one of the fronts will be lost." Qi Jian said.
"In that case, instead of letting us make random guesses here, it's better for us to choose the battlefield." Ling Liang said.
"What do you think? General Ling." Qi Jian nodded.
"Wouldn't it be great if we gave the Galactic Republic a reason to attack the battlefield we chose?" Ling Liang said, "For example, the Yago-Durr galaxy is a very good battlefield. In that Trisolaran galaxy, the Galactic Republic It is difficult to deploy the superior force, and we still have room to resist. And the most important thing is..."
The corners of Ling Liang's mouth turned up slightly, "Don't the Galactic Republic want the Titan battleship? Let's give it to him."
