As one of the major powers, the Pegasus Group might be weak, but its systems could not be called inadequate.
Even in such a situation, the fleet commander was still able to make a calm judgment.
The enemy's combat strength had exceeded expectations, but they still had weaknesses.
The fleet before them could be destroyed, but it could not be destroyed without value.
Through repeated concentrated attacks, they did their utmost to gather data.
However, as the various figures were analyzed, the expressions of everyone in the Pegasus Group who knew the truth turned grim.
"When can our new warship production lines begin production?" Ma Zhi asked the director in charge of the matter.
He had the authority to deploy the Pegasus Group's warships, but he was not qualified to directly command production or logistics. At most, he could offer a few suggestions.
The entire design and production schedule had also been strictly calculated by the think tank. They only needed to advance according to the timetable to produce the next generation of warships at the best cost-performance ratio, maintaining or even improving the Pegasus Group's standing.
Unless it was wartime, warship commissioning had never been rushed through all at once.
Not only would that be a pointless waste of resources, but the details of every improvement would also be difficult to implement.
The optimal approach was naturally to improve while ships remained in service. There would certainly be a significant difference in performance between the first ship commissioned and the tenth or hundredth.
Otherwise, if they produced a massive batch all at once, they would have to spend vast resources maintaining a relatively outdated fleet later on.
But that was clearly no longer enough. Everyone had originally shared an understanding that they would not casually engage in an arms
