1603. Intelligence (Part 2)
"Galactic Republic's finances cannot afford such production capacity? It's hard to imagine that businessmen like Kuat Drive Yards would make such a decision. This will mean that their expanded production capacity, additional production lines, engineers, and skilled workers will all be included in the additional costs, and no one will pay for them." Ling Liang frowned.
"What about the financial market?" Tang Xiao turned around and glanced at a holographic projection next to him.
It is surprisingly the current co-chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan (M), Thorn Hill. Now Chairman Muun 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.
Since InterGalactic Banking Clan split into Human faction headed by Scipio and the Muen faction headed by Makito, the struggle has been no less brutal than on the frontal battlefield.
Whether it is suppressing those unstable factors internally or the financial struggle with Scipio externally, it is extremely cruel.
Not to mention anything else, in the past six months alone, Thornhill had directly planned more than a thousand assassination plans. Over time, his temperament naturally changed.
"Galactic Republic previously issued 50 trillion credit bonds through Rush-Clovis. It has not been made clear yet. With Kuat Drive Yards's status, they will not accept such bonds. And Galactic Republic now has no money to continue to pay military expenses except for this kind of credit bonds," San-Hill said, "So this time Kuat Drive Yards expanded its production capacity. I think it was Galactic Republic that provided the mortgage and then allowed them to do so."
"There is almost no doubt that this expanded production capacity will be used by us." Qi Jian said, "Can you estimate how many warships there are?"
"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 difficult to estimate." Madam M said. Cold sweat was already flowing down her forehead, because recently, Galactic Republic's intelligence control has been unprecedentedly strong, which put her Intelligence Department door 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 the one who raised a hand and spoke timidly was actually Adele-Ulan!
She actually did not need to participate in the meeting, but Bangjila-Ulan at least nominally gave her the position of Rendili StarDrive and Executive Director, so she still needs to participate.
It's just that she never spoke before, just being a vase and duchess, but this time, she actually plucked 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 Kuat or Rendili... that is, Corellia Engineering Company, their main business Small and medium-sized warships and civilian spacecraft, so it is relatively free," Adele-Ulan said, "For example, if we receive an order for 100 warships, it is impossible for us to produce exactly 100 warships."
"How much should that be?" The speaker was Volgograd-Kanidi. He seemed to be angry, or 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 substitute products immediately instead of starting production again. From the perspective of production management and cybernetics, all parts we produce are 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 gun, a batch of 4,705 units can maximize the use of raw materials and production equipment, and the armor shock absorption plate is generally 120,000 pieces in a batch..."
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 warships than the order quantity, in fact, all parts are prepared in excess, and the frames of the warships are usually produced and placed there."
"So, Kuat Drive Yards can assemble a large number of warships in a short time after expanding production?" Flagship asked.
"That's right. For example, after Rendili Planet abandoned darkness and turned 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 visited Quat Planet before, and based on our 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 some of them are small and medium-sized warships."
She continued to click on a large amount of data on the computer, "For example, if you want to use the preliminary parts of Hunter Class Battlecruiser on Knight-class Star Destroyer, it is estimated that it will take at least 8 to 10 Hunter Class to piece together a Knight-class. In short, it depends on the other party's choice. According to my judgment, Kuat Drive Yards should be able to produce about 200 thousand-meter battleships, and Knight-class Star Destroyer should not be too many."
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 Eriadu system would be able to guarantee its defense."
"Is it possible for Ankollon-class Titan warship's second ship to form its initial combat effectiveness in the near future?" Tang Xiao turned to ask the representative of the Givin.
"It's completely impossible." The Givin shook his head vigorously, "Now the Titan warship has not even completed the frame construction, and only part of the internal system has been installed."
"If 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 is better for us to choose the battlefield." Ling Liang said.
"What's your opinion? General Ling." Qi Jian nodded.
"Wouldn't it be better if we gave Galactic Republic a reason to attack the battlefield we selected?" Ling Liang said, "For example, the Yago-Dur galaxy is a good battlefield. In that Three-Body galaxy, Galactic Republic's superior force is difficult to deploy, 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 Galactic Republic want Titan warship? Let's give it to him."
