The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1602: Information (Part 1)

"I want to make sure that the Model Star District is safe!" Tang Xiao asked, looking at Volgograd-Kanidi who participated in the meeting remotely through holographic projection, "My request is that the Model Star District needs to increase the standing army by 20 million, And build enough space ports for 500 warships to berth and resupply on the planets of Anji, Vasian and Orville III! It will be completed within two months."

Volgograd-Kanidi said: "In the past month, the immigrant population in the Moder sector has increased by more than 5 billion, and this number is still increasing. Under such circumstances, large-scale engineering , there may be..."

"What I want is the result! Once the Mordel star area falls, then there is no need to consider immigration." Tang Xiao interrupted him coldly.

"I'm already starting to let immigrants join the construction project and use work as relief, which will speed up the construction of the space port. If the requirements are lowered, it is possible to complete the space port that can accommodate 500 warships for supplies." Carney Dee said blankly, "But this will undoubtedly slow down the progress of the colony's construction, and many people will starve in the future."

"The Model sector is about to become a battlefield, and this time, the Republic will do everything it can. Maybe soon, you won't have to worry about population." Helmut Zemo said coldly.

Canidi's eyes flashed with anger, "What are you talking about!?"

"How many orbital bombings do you think the planetary shield of Planet Anji can withstand?" Zemo was obviously provocative, "Once you can't bear it, I don't think you will have to worry about overpopulation immediately."

"Then do you dare to come here and say this to my face?" Canidi was obviously angry, his voice was like a roaring lion.

Qi Jian stood up to smooth things over and said, "Comrades, the Anji planet is not the only issue we need to consider. The trend of the Galactic Republic is still unclear. Launch a full-scale attack 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 looked up at Mrs. M.

"The Galactic Republic is now paying more and more attention to intelligence work, and it is becoming more and more difficult for our agents to infiltrate. What is certain now is that there are a large number of hyperspace fluctuations in the jurisdiction of the 17th Army and the 20th Army of the Republic." Mrs. M said, "But this information can be anything, such as civilian spacecraft, such as supply ships or engineering ships. The jurisdiction of the 17th Army needs to be rebuilt now, 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 will do its tricks, make do with the dilapidated base on the planet Kira, and then directly assemble the army to attack."

"If it's just this, then I don't think there is any need for your military intelligence department." Tang Xiao's tone turned cold, "Wouldn't it be better for me to 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 now, and the saying that companions are like companions to tigers was gradually reflected in him more and more vividly.

And Tang Xiao didn't lose his temper irrationally, he just couldn't accept failure more and more. Especially when the discovery of the Principality of Liming became stronger and stronger, Tang Xiao began to have more choices. Now he will not give any face to Mrs. M and these awakened legendary figures. With the national strength of the Principality of Liming, it is very difficult to replace them. easy.

"The Galactic Republic's fleet assembly this time is mainly on the planets in the core circle. This situation is different from before. In the past, they would gather the fleet near the front line and launch an attack after sufficient supplies, but now they probably don't think so. Yes." Mrs. M said, "It is their plan to launch a long-distance attack from the core circle. This will increase the suddenness, but after all, the state of the fleet is not good, so the first thing they do after launching the attack The first strategic goal should be to occupy a planet as a forward base."

Mrs. M opened another page of data, and then said: "In addition, our latent agents have also discovered that in the recent period, the resource demand of the Quarter Power Dock has increased linearly, which has exceeded the normal range..."

"What do you mean by exceeding the normal range? Quarter Power Shipyard will save its own production capacity?" Tang Xiao's expression finally softened.

In fact, looking at the scope of the entire galaxy, it is very difficult to obtain information. Because the distance between galaxies is calculated in light years, and the distance from the core circle to the outer ring is tens of thousands of light years. Under this distance, any observation method is futile.

To put it bluntly, if you look at Coruscant with an optical telescope from the dawn star, what you see on the optical image is still the situation of Coruscant tens of thousands of years ago. Just kidding, maybe what you see is the war between boasters and philosophers...

Under such circumstances, there is basically only one way to obtain information—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 communication.

Therefore, compared to the war within the planet, the satellite can already open the full picture mode. In the interstellar era, the intelligence war has become more primitive. It is also for this reason that traditional agents like 007 were able to shine.

The job of an agent is to get the information himself and then send it out. Basically there is no possibility of long-distance acquisition of intelligence.

In the early days of the war, because the war was originally a civil war, personnel from both sides were mixed together everywhere, and 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 intelligence penetration into the Galactic Republic, intelligence warfare had a great advantage.

However, as the war continued to advance, the Galactic Republic also cleaned up its own interior again and again, and the entry and exit management of spaceships was also very strict. Now, in terms of information acquisition, the two sides have returned to the same starting line. Now the competition is purely the means of both sides.

For example, Tang Xiao wanted to sneak into the planet Korriban before, because this planet is within the control of the Galactic Republic. Although it is relatively remote, he still can only ask the gangster Blood Dawn of Corellia to quietly Smuggle in. This is also caused by the gradual strictness of the Republic's spaceship management.

Mrs. M said: "Under normal circumstances, the Kuat Power Shipyard will not directly fill up the production capacity. Because of the financial problems of the Galactic Republic, the orders they have received cannot reach saturation, so they are basically in a stage of scientific operation. And If you want to operate at full capacity, 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, so unless this state can be maintained, a short-term production capacity explosion will always be accompanied by a large amount of losses. "

Qi Jian frowned and said, "So, this time, the Kuat Power Shipyard imported a large amount of supplies, which means that they have spent a lot of money?"

"As far as I know, the economic situation of the Republic cannot afford it," Mrs. M said.
