1306. The ending of Rendili (Part 2)

Regarding the problem of missing battleship models, Bangjila-Ulan has no way to solve it now, and Tang Xiao has never told him about it before. It seems that Tang Xiao did it on purpose.

Thinking of this, Bangjila-Ulan sighed and handed over his little granddaughter, Adele-Ulan, who had been married to Tang Xiao before. Seeing the alienation in Adele-Ulan's eyes, he shook his head slightly and said, "I need you to find Tang Xiao and provide us with the matching battleship blueprint. A fleet cannot only have Victory I-class Star Destroyer."

Adele-Ulan asked coldly, "We Rendili StarDrive, who claim to have a heritage of 25,000 years, can't even assemble a fleet?"

"It's not that we couldn't get it together, but that it wasn't necessary before." Bangjila-Ulan said, "Our previous construction plan had to be reported to Galactic Republic before it could be carried out. We can't decide which warships we can build. You have already started to take over Rendili StarDrive's business. You should know this."

"So, I have always been just a tool to exchange benefits for Tang Xiao? My most valuable thing, my body, has now been sold by you... Is that what you mean? Grandpa." There was sadness in Adele-Ulan's words.

Bangjila-Ulan closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly. His eyes were full of determination. He began to say in a business-like tone, "This is reality. Tang Xiao is willing to marry you, which gives us a little political capital, so, yes, now it is time for you to find him in exchange for benefits."

Adele-Ulan stopped talking. She bowed deeply to her grandfather and left without looking back.

The reply from Tang Xiao was also very fast. In the afternoon of the same day, Fourth Group Executive Director Glosse-Shelbia personally contacted Bangjila-Ulan. The two parties held talks for about an hour and basically finalized a basic cooperation.

Dawn Star Planet provided Rendili StarDrive with the technological blueprints including Garda Flak Frigate, Grizzly-class heavy destroyer, Star-class Repair Drone Mothership, Blue Sky-class command cruiser, and Dominator-class drone mothership through Fourth Group, so that Rendili's interstellar shipyard can start production as soon as possible.

These are mainly small and medium-sized warships and logistics warships. When production begins, they will form a complete fleet battle group framework with Victory I-class Star Destroyer produced by Rendili StarDrive.

In fact, even Galactic Republic itself is now aware of the problems that existed in their fleet organization.

Previously, the design direction of Galactic Republic warships was the all-purpose type, the representative of which was Hunter Class Battlecruiser. This kind of warship has good firepower and shields, and its speed is reasonable. It has a huge carrying capacity of 420 aircraft and can also carry a 3,000-person Marines including 80 AT-TE walkers.

Basically, if it is some weaker planet, a Hunter Class can do everything in the past - destroy enemy warships, take off fighter jets to suppress it, send landing craft to land, and then the army can directly occupy the target.

Therefore, for a long time before, Galactic Republic's interstellar battle group was a single ship type with only Hunter Class, which seems to be able to satisfy most battle situations. At most, when large-scale landings are needed, some Acclamator-class assault ship and transport ships can be added to the formation.

But in contrast, the large formation combat theory of composite warships has always existed, including the previous Confederacy of Independent Systems. The naval composition of Confederacy of Independent Systems is much more complicated. Munificent-class communications frigate, Defiant-class light destroyer, and even their Deceiver-class destroyer can be equipped with different modules to meet different functions such as ship-based hangar, command center, artillery warfare, and electronic warfare.

Therefore, this also shows that in fact, the theory of forming a large fleet of multiple ship types has always existed. However, in the past, because the performance of Hunter Class Battlecruiser had a greater advantage than most battleships of Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the advantage of this type of single-ship formation is its high speed, Galactic Republic has been used.

Now, Fourth Civilization is the first to widely use large formations of composite ship types, and has repeatedly defeated Republic Fleet. In this way, the idea of building the same fleet formation is naturally strongly reflected in Galactic Republic military's mind.

Now Republic military's warship design has begun to move closer to professionalism. For example, Knight-class and Imperial-class are pure artillery battleships. Although Imperial-class still retains some hangars and Marines, the main warship structure and functions are also for artillery battles. The prototype of an aircraft carrier also began to appear in the Republic military plan, which was the Jaeger II-class battlecruiser/aircraft carrier.

Therefore, in order to keep his Rendili system, Bangjila-Ulan must also expand his warship types. What he got from Fourth Group includes Garda Flak Frigate These battleship blueprints, including, Grizzly-class heavy destroyer, Star-class Repair Drone Mothership, Blue Sky-class command cruiser, and Dominator-class drone mothership, basically serve his battleship - Victory I-class Star Destroyer.

Except for Dominator-class drone mothership, these warships are not difficult to build. They are all technologies that appeared in the early days of the war and are now very mature.

As for why we should use Dominator-class drone mothership instead of the regular Sova-class Carrier?

Because he Rendili doesn't have many qualified fighter pilots at all! There is no pilot training school! Therefore, although Rendili StarDrive can also manufacture V-19 Torrent light fighter jets, it lacks pilots, so these fighter jets are just for show.

It's better to buy some more Vulture droid fighter.

After negotiating this cooperation with Fourth Group, Bangjila-Ulan immediately arranged for their engineers to contact Fourth Group, asking them to complete the adjustment work of the interstellar dock as soon as possible and start producing these warships as soon as possible.

At least, when Republic fleet attacks next time, Rendili's defense fleet cannot only contain outdated items like Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser.

This battle has proven that even if 10 Dreadnought-classs fight against Galactic Republic's most advanced Knight-class Star Destroyers, they will not pose any threat to the opponent at all.

While Bangjila-Ulan was still busy, his little granddaughter Adele-Ulan suddenly came to him. She was wearing a beautiful white dress, which made her look exquisite, and she was holding a small bag in her hand.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you, Grandpa." Adele-Ulan said coldly.

Bangjila-Ulan frowned, "Where are you going?"

"Dawn Star Planet, go and fulfill what I should do as Tang Xiao's wife." Adele-Ulan said in a very cold tone.

"You are now Chief Executive Officer of Rendili StarDrive!" Bangjila-Ulan looked a little unhappy.

"But I am also Mrs. Governor of Dawn Star Planet." Adele-Ulan said, "You wanted to use my body in exchange for benefits for Rendili, and I did it. Now you get what you want, and Dawn Star Planet will also take what they want... and I am one of the things they want. Farewell."

After saying that, Adele-Ulan turned and left without any hesitation.

"Come back!!" Bangjila-Ulan stood up and shouted loudly.

But Adele-Ulan's footsteps were very firm, without even the slightest pause.

Looking at her back, Bangjila-Ulan sat down slumped.

"Master, I saw Miss Adele preparing to take off a shuttle. Do you want to capture her?" the voice of the security personnel came from the communication.

"Let her go..." Bangjila-Ulan waved his hands, feeling disappointed, "She is right, I got what I wanted, and now... it's time for me to lose..."
