The Lord of Ashes

From a realistic perspective, Sean should probably stop the president's plan.

Because instead of investing funds and technology in other military fields where the Ikaros chaebol is not yet mature, it is better to make all the efforts and use all the horsepower to build a combat robot army.

In that case, when the magic tide crisis comes, the total number of mechanical armies that the Ikaros chaebol can provide to Sean and the wizard civilization will be an extremely exaggerated number.

But Sean finally thought about it and chose to support the chaebol president's grand layout in various military fields.

Because Sean himself has considered that the mechanical army under his command in the future will never be composed of monotonous intelligent robots and wizard civilization space fortresses.

He should make his mechanical army more like a combat cluster composed of multiple arms like the space fleet of technological civilization.

More arms mean more complementarity.

As a magician who pursues the truth, Sean does not want his mechanical army to have obvious shortcomings.

And the president of Ikaros, Hewson, who told Sean so much and elaborated on his business layout, certainly not only to prove his ability to Sean.

He also had another underlying meaning - that is, to ask Sean for more financial support, and hoped that Sean could use his authority in the wizard civilization to put pressure on other heavy industrial chaebols in the Gallente Federation to obtain more complete stellar-level space fortress manufacturing drawings at a lower cost.

Sean certainly understood Hewson's hint.

"I can inject a sum of magic coins into you as funds so that you can try your best to realize your business layout."

"But it is difficult for me to put pressure on other chaebols at the administrative level."

"The construction of fortresses above the stellar level still requires you to figure out the research and development yourself, or find a way to buy some technical patents."

"Or when the time is right in the future, I will use other costs to make some transactions with those heavy industrial chaebols in the Federation in exchange for the data you want." Sean said.

After the Gallente Federation War, the interests of the Gallente Federation in all aspects have been almost divided up by the wizard civilization.

Sean said he was trading with other heavy industry chaebols, but in fact, he was referring to the other high-ranking wizards behind them.

Asking for favors from others for no reason, even if they are from the same civilization, is not easy!

It's like someone suddenly appeared in front of Sean and asked him for all the manufacturing technology of Ikaros.

Sean would definitely not do it.

The magicians of the wizard civilization value knowledge the most.

During the Gallente Federation War, the Federation had a large space fortress with dominant combat power.

Including now, the Federation should have two fortresses of this level.

The star-class space fortress is a large fortress platform second only to the dominant fortress.

Sean knew with his eyes closed how complex and sophisticated the manufacturing technology of this fortress was.

It is definitely not something he can get by just opening his mouth and selling a favor.

The wizard civilization is indeed a rope from top to bottom to deal with the magic tide crisis, but this does not mean that the wizard civilization has entered a harmonious society.

Unless Sean can reach the level of a civilization leader like Ms. Bev one day.

He can ask the true spirit masters of other wizard civilizations to obtain their core mysteries or asset knowledge.

But in fact, even Ms. Bev would never do this.

It is even more impossible for Sean to ask Ms. Bev for help because of this matter.

The several federal heavy industry chaebols mentioned by President Hewson to Sean rely on several wizard civilization forces such as the Western Islands, the Beren Empire, and the Northland Witch.

Sean is indeed on good terms with many dominant-level strongmen of these forces, but he will not bother others because of this matter.

Hewson is a master in the field of business layout, and he also knows the details of other federal chaebols.

However, this middle-aged fat man with a bald head seems to have a not thorough understanding of the system of wizard civilization.

It is also unclear how much wizard civilization values ​​intellectual property.

Sean was able to get the Ikaros chaebol after the end of the federal war, which was a great bargain.

Could he reach out to the high-level officials of other wizard civilizations?

Human relations are human relations, but when it comes to interests, that is another matter.

Without discussing more with Hewson in this regard, Sean came to the Gallente Federation and paid more attention to the two Dominant-class demonized fleets he brought back.

Both the Ikaros Financial Group and the Gallente Federation have conducted detailed analysis and research on the information of these two Dominant-class demonized fleets.

In the end, the Gallente Federation’s high-level officials gave Sean two plans.

Plan 1 is to merge the two Dominant-class fleets, both of which have been damaged by more than one-third. After the merger, this is a strengthened Dominant-class combat cluster.

If the Gallente Federation takes the lead in repairing and replenishing those damaged ships, it will also add various warships produced by the Gallente Federation.

In the end, this strengthened Dominant-class combat cluster theoretically has the ability to fight against late-stage seventh-level creatures.

Option 2 is to still divide the two Overlord-class fleets into two, retaining their respective numbers and formations.

The Gallente Federation will repair and expand each of them and add the missing warships.

As a result, Sean still has two Dominant-class fleets, but the resources consumed are undoubtedly astronomical.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of each of the two fleets is definitely not as strong as the merged super fleet.

For the two options given by the Gallente Federation leaders, Sean had almost no hesitation. He glanced at the few people sent by the Federation leaders and said, "I choose option 2."

These Federation leaders are really cunning.

The real purpose of letting Sean merge the fleet is probably not to consider obtaining a more powerful super fleet for Sean, but to hope that they can pay less.

According to the situation that a Dominant-class space fleet normally requires three Dominant-class attack ships.

If the Gallente Federation leaders want to complete the task assigned to them by Ms. Bev, they must at least prepare two Dominant-class attack ships for Sean to complete Sean's fleet establishment.

Two Dominant-class attack ships... put them together, isn't this a complete Dominant-class fleet? !

The Gallente Federation is in urgent need of a Dominant-class fleet cluster.

Not to mention that in addition to the two Dominant-class attack ships, in order to make up for the loss of the two space fleets of Sean, the Gallente Federation will definitely provide a lot of other types of space ships.

These cunning federal high-level officials!

In fact, no matter what time, people first consider themselves.
