"Oh, you know the goods. The main gun of this fortress directly removed the main gun of Wei Wuxing." When Chen Kang heard this voice, he turned his head and saw that it was Tang long who was wiping his sweat. He bowed to Tang long and said with a smile, "it saves a lot of money and time."

Tang long sighed: "Yes, the Ministry of Finance estimates that it will take nearly a trillion yuan to build this main gun, and it will take five years and 5 million engineers." But now it only takes a few months to adjust and install it. How much manpower and material resources do you say you can save? " Of course, Tang long knew that he was able to assemble and complete this big project in such a short time because of the help of 900000 robots removed from the beluga warship. As for those who drive beluga warships now, they are all human beings.

"I wonder what Lord Tang long has installed on this fortress besides this main gun." Chen Kang started flanking attacks. He is going to detect the situation, and if Tang long has a device that can make the metal ball jump, he will find a way to get it. You know, although this kind of fortress is a little small, it is always a fortress. As long as it can jump in space, one such fortress can be sold for the price of tens of thousands of warships.

"well, in addition to this immovable main gun with a diameter of 50 kilometers, it is also equipped with 30,000 fortress guns that can move 30 meters in diameter at will throughout the fortress. There is also protective armor that wraps the entire fortress into 100 layers, each one kilometer thick and 100 kilometers thick. In addition, there is a giant shield with a strength of 3 million degrees that covers the entire fortress. It can be said that it is absolutely the perfect combination of shield and spear. " Tang long said proudly.

"Oh, doesn't it look like the main gun is exposed to protective armor? If so, as long as a missile hits the muzzle, the main gun will be useless. " Chen Kang said worriedly after glancing at the launch port left by the heavy protective armor outside the main gun.

Tang long said triumphantly, ", don't worry, that 100 layers of protective armor wraps up the whole fortress." Each of these 100 layers of protective armor is made up of countless diamond-shaped metal blocks of more than 30 square meters. Usually nothing happens, these pieces of metal stick together tightly. When a fortress cannon is fired or the landing gate is opened, these pieces of metal will move enough space. The metal blocks of the whole fortress can move freely, so gunfire and missiles can be fired anywhere except the central main gun of the fortress, and warships can enter anywhere. In other words, the fortress is covered with launch ports and landing ports. What do you think? "

"impressive, really impressive!" When Chen Kang explained in Tang long, he already saw the structure of those diamond-shaped metal blocks, saw clearly the various passageways and facilities extending in all directions of the fortress, and of course understood what Tang long said. To put it simply, this fortress can not only fire fortress guns in any direction, but also send and receive warships and fighters in any direction. In fierce combat, wounded warships can go straight through the fortress to the rear for self-cultivation, and warships hiding behind the fortress can also go straight through the fortress to attack the enemy. If the fortress were bigger, it would be flawless. It is a pity that such a small fortress, with so many fortress guns and passageways built in all directions, will not be able to build any facilities other than the necessary energy storage systems and energy manufacturing plants. If facilities such as maintenance workshops, military production plants, food production plants and military residential areas can be built in the fortress, the fortress will be able to fight a fierce battle for a long time. And most importantly, it will be impossible for the fortress to put down its warships, which is a great flaw.

Chen Kang made a few remarks later in praise, saying, "but it's too small, if it can be expanded.". " Just tell Tang long what he thought just now.

After listening to this, Tang long shook his head helplessly: "Hey, you think I don't want to do this, but those jumping devices and engines can only drive such a big fortress, I can't help it." But this fortress can't hold a battleship as you think. I'm telling you, there's room for a brigade of a hundred beluga ships! " Speaking of this, Tang long became proud again. This is the parking platform that he dug around and finally got out of it, so of course he was proud of it.

Although Chen Kang sighed in his heart what the 100 warships could do, he immediately seized the opportunity and secretly put forward the idea of acquiring the jumping device: "Oh, our company has good scientific and technological strength. We may be able to help you solve this problem, of course, only if you have analyzed the jumping device of your fortress."

Tang long looked at Chen Kang and said with a smile, "No, no one can solve this problem except the creator of this device." Speaking of which, Tang long changed the subject and asked, "by the way, what can I do for you? have the 2,000 X warships and 40,000 advanced transport ships arrived yet?"

"Oh, it hasn't arrived yet, but it will arrive either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." When Chen Kang looked at Tang long, he knew that Tang long didn't want to talk about the jumping device, so he seemed to be looking for another opportunity. He pretended to remember something and said, "by the way, you gave us the beluga warship last time, but you didn't give us the original control system of the beluga warship." Now we are in trouble because the system we developed is not in harmony with the beluga warship and can hardly exert 20% of the power of the beluga warship. "

"Oh, what was sold to you was only the beluga warship, and you didn't say you wanted the supporting system of the beluga warship." Tang long dug his ear and said disapprovingly.

Knowing that Tang long would not agree without interest, Chen Kang said directly: "our company is willing to exchange this system with 3000 X warships with the same configuration as before, as well as 60, 000 high-grade transport ships full of materials." Of course, he directly stated his bottom line, which is not a bargain to talk about business. If Tang long directly gave the system to himself for free, he would still be distressed, because there is no excuse to help Tang long strengthen his military strength.

Tang long immediately drooled: "3000 modified X warships and 60, 000 high-end transport ships full of materials?" But he quickly returned to normal and said, "good!" Swapped with you! I'm going to copy a system on the beluga ship. But this time we are handing over the system on the one hand and the warship on the other. We can't see the warship without handing over the system! " Tang long, a fool, does not know the value of this system at all. if Chen Kang owns this system, Tang long's future enemies will be as strong as he is, and it will be impossible to win as easily as now. However, according to Tang long's character, I am afraid he will grind Tang Xing to build a new type of warship for him.

Chen Kang nodded hurriedly and said, "No problem. I'll let the company deliver the warship." Although Chen Kang did not get the information about the jumping device of the fortress, he completed the task told by the general manager. He also breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, there is plenty of time, he will always find a chance to get this jumping device.

I don't know if Chen Kang was too eager or something. A week after 2,000 modified X warships and 40,000 high-level transport ships arrived in Zhongzhou Star, 3,000 modified X warships and 60,000 high-level transport ships also arrived in Zhongzhou Star. Tang long, who handed over the beluga whale system data, did not appear drooling like the last time he looked at the warships, but frowned and stayed in the port.

And the members of the military headquarters of Datang, like their supreme commander, looked at the warships with a sad face, it can be said that almost all the military and political personnel present looked at the warships with a sad face.

If everyone's eyes are bright, they will be surprised to find that Sally, standing behind Tang long, has become a brigadier general, while the three brigadier generals behind her have become major. While Una, who stood on the other side of Tanglong, the royal badge on her chest turned into a first-class Marquis badge, and most of the government officials behind her were viscount barons, and there was no one in the past.

"has the composition of the battleship been reorganized after it has been disrupted?" Tang long asked Sally.

"Yes, my lord, the barely qualified 20 million Earth Star soldiers have been disrupted and reorganized with the original soldiers." Sally replied.

"how effective are they?" Tang long continued to ask.

"We need to strengthen training in order to keep up with the original combat effectiveness." Sally said helplessly that this weakening of the combat effectiveness would not have been carried out had it not been for the prevention of the uprising of the earth's star soldiers. But if not, even if the Earth Star soldiers do not revolt, the fleet composed entirely of Earth Star soldiers will still be vulnerable. After all, they have not engaged in warship warfare at all.

"mm-hmm." Tang long thought for a moment and ordered: "Zhang Guanhua, Major Li Jiamin, go up and receive your troops." On hearing this order, Zhang Guanhua and Zhang Guanhua, standing behind Sally, immediately threw away the expression that had just resembled their dead father, changed into an excited look and answered loudly, and excitedly took the department down to receive their thousands of warships.

Seeing these soldiers running excitedly to the landing craft, Tang long sighed helplessly and said to Sally, "order the captains to take over the 3000 warships." Sally saluted Tang long. She knew why Tang long sighed. In an army of tens of millions of men, there were only two brigadiers and three majors. A brigadier general commands all ground and police forces, and a brigadier general commands 6,000 warships. It was nothing, but the three majors each commanded a thousand warships, and the commander of a brigade was a lieutenant. Tang long not long ago set the rank of officers required for warships, but now he can only lower the rank requirements of three grades to appoint officers.

When she thought of this, Sally sighed and couldn't help thinking of what happened a few days ago when her group had a meeting in the capital of Zhongzhou Star:

"3,000 converted X warships? 60,000 high-end transport ships full of supplies? My lord, is this true? Why is Chen Kang willing to give us so many warships? " Una asked nervously that although she was happy to get a large number of supplies, she did not want Tang long to pay too much.

"nothing, just the control system of the beluga warship." Tang long smiled happily.

"Lord, in this way Chen Kang's company can really produce beluga warships. If he sells them to our enemies, it will be a big blow to us!" Sally immediately stood up and said nervously.

"Oh, don't be nervous, they promise they won't sell it to our enemies." Tang long comforted.

"but they only promise not to sell to the forces of the chaos-free galaxies. I believe the Lord's purpose will not be limited to the chaos-free galaxies, will they?" Phil, who is in charge of the law, warned. Under the influence of the public, she also began to call Tang long the master.

"it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if they sell Moby Dick battleships to the forces of chaos-free galaxies, because it won't be long before we have a mobile fortress that can jump in space, have strong firepower and strong defenses! Even if they had beluga ships, they would be finished under the attack of this fortress! " Tang long said with indifference.

Hearing Tang long's words, the people present looked at Tang long and Sally excitedly and doubtfully. Until Sally nodded, they didn't believe what Tang long said was true. It's not that they don't believe in Tang long, but that they don't believe in a device that allows the behemoth of the fortress to jump in space. Of course, they did not ask too many questions. It is not surprising that Tang long, who is taken care of by those two mysterious sisters, has such a device.

"Lord, no matter what conditions Chen Kang offers for this jumping device, you can't give it to him. This is our important trump card!" Ling Li, the beauty of the intelligence department, suddenly stood up and said to Tang long.

"Yes! You can't give this trump card away when you see a few warships! " Elsie jumped up and shouted.

Seeing that everyone was looking at himself nervously, Tang long quickly nodded and agreed to everyone's request, then skimmed his mouth and muttered, "really, I'm not so greedy that I don't care about the whole thing, how can I exchange my ace for a battleship?" And we have enough warships now, and if we have a little more, there will be no one to drive it. "

Sally, who heard Tang long murmur, immediately said, "Yes, my lord, taking into account the warships and transport ships that have not yet arrived, we now have a thousand beluga warships, with a full establishment of 5 million troops." If you deduct some unimportant members, you also need 3 million troops. The full staffing of the 6000 converted X warships is even more exaggerated, requiring 30 million troops. Even if the number of unimportant members is cut, it will take about 20 million. And those 120000 high-level transport ships even need 12 million troops, which cannot be reduced. Plus the necessary maintenance, logistics and other staff of 30 million, the fleet alone needs 65 million personnel. Coupled with violent institutions such as ground forces and police forces, our armed personnel will need an astonishing figure of 200 million to 300 million. You know, our population is. " Sally talked about this dumb mouth. Although she knows that there are more than 8 billion people in the Zhongzhou region, including the Earth Star, now that there are six planets in the Li family, she does not know how many people there are.

Minister of Administrative Affairs Li Wu said: "there are more than 8 billion people in the Zhongzhou region and more than 5 billion people on the six planets of the Li family. Our total population is now about 13.1 billion."

Una interrupted, "alas, we used to disrelish a small population, but now with so many people, we not only have to pay the salaries of military and political personnel, but also need to pay a large number of pensions for those defeated army personnel in order to ensure security and stability and buy the hearts and minds of the people." it is also necessary to pay for the maintenance of warships and transport ships. As for the construction of enterprise factories and military factory funds and other expenses, it is innumerable. Now the funds of our Ministry of Finance have begun to be tight. Had it not been for the announcement of the honorary title of the Lord, which had not aroused the enthusiasm of businessmen to do business, I am afraid we would have been in deficit. "

"so bad? How many troops do we have now? " Tang long was surprised to ask that he didn't understand financial matters and didn't bother to take care of them, so he didn't care much about Una's words. Anyway, Una would solve it. What he cares about is the army, because this is the job he is familiar with.

Sally said: "now our warship driving, maintenance, logistics personnel, plus Earth star soldiers, a total of more than 4000, short of 25 million." However, most of the gaps are logistics maintenance personnel, which can be recruited from the public. With some training, I dare not say that I am proficient in logistics maintenance, but I should be able to barely maintain the logistics system. What is more serious are the members of high-level transport ships. Our current personnel can only be satisfied with the operation of about 20,000 high-level transport ships. That is, of the 120000 transport ships, 100, 000 will be stored because of understaffing. " Speaking of which, he glanced at Jess and motioned to her to go on.

Jess, the minister of security for homeland security, immediately added: "as for the ground force and the police force, there is not a shortage but too many personnel, mainly because there are a large number of such personnel on the occupied planet." Although they can transfer their extra personnel to the army, they still need a period of training to meet the requirements after they have just surrendered. "

Tang long nodded and said, "well, we don't need so many transport ships to run for the time being. We only need 20,000 high-grade transport ships. Let's stock the rest of the stock." Now, can we have a thousand beluga ships and 6,000 X warships with the number of warships we have? " Speaking of which, Tang long looked at Sally and waited for her answer.

Sally nodded and said, "barely, after deducting the logistics system personnel, we are barely able to get these 7,000 warships running, but the combat effectiveness is absolutely insufficient." This will be the case, mainly because the soldiers of the Earth Star who have never fought a battleship battle account for half of the soldiers, and in order not to give them an advantage in numbers, we will have to reorganize them and all the battleships. Of course, although the master's beluga warship is temporarily piloted by soldiers for the time being, they will be transferred away after the robots have completed the fortress and the driving rights of the beluga warship will be handed back to the robot. in this way, the combat effectiveness of the master's 1,000 beluga warships will not be reduced. "

At this point, Sally paused and sighed before continuing: "there is another important question. According to the military system proposed by my lord, only a brigadier general or above can serve as the commander of a thousand warships." Now we have seven thousand brigades, the Moby Dick Brigade is the Lord's Guard, and the first, second and third Brigadiers are also headed by three brigadiers, including Liu Yihui. The officer system of these four brigades has been improved, and even if there are not enough troops, it is enough to make the brigade run. However, among the remaining three brigades, except for some middle and low-ranking officers, there are no senior generals at all, so they can only rely on the brigade to make up. Such a brigade of 300 without the control of senior officers does not have any combat effectiveness at all. Therefore, here, my subordinates hope that the Lord can promote a group of officers to serve as commanders of these three brigades. "

"Oh, is there anyone?" Tang long asked, remembering that he did not have any senior officers in his army, and it seemed that he had to promote a group of personnel.

Sally nodded, took out a document and handed it over.

Tang long looked at the documents and then sighed: "although the military skills of these people have not yet reached the level of promotion, they can only be promoted in advance in order to make the brigade run." What do you think? "

When everyone nodded in agreement, the door of the conference hall was knocked several times, and then the guard shouted, "my lord, Miss Star Zero is here." Originally, these guards called so-and-so to an audience, but after knowing that Xing Zero was Tang long's sister, they changed their name to your arrival.

"Oh, please." Tang long hurriedly stood up. He had not seen a star for a while, and even asked him to do a promotion system for himself. It is not that Tang long does not want to meet with Xingge, but that she has been immersed in this task since the day Tang Xing left, and outsiders can hardly find her.

Dressed in broad blue overalls, a head of beautiful hair was tied up with a rope at will, and the stars on his face were flushed and walked in at a brisk pace. When she saw Tang long, she rushed forward happily and said, "Brother, the central computer has been completed, the planets in this region of Zhongzhou have been connected, and the social management service system can be started at any time." And the promotion system that you asked me to do has also been completed, and the information of government and military personnel has also been inputted. As long as you need it, this system can be started as soon as you need it. " With that, he gave Tang long a magnetic card that recorded the startup data of the central computer and those home pages of the system.

Tang long, who was fascinated by his youthful appearance, woke up from this beauty for a while. He hurriedly said, "Oh, thank you, sister. We will summon personnel to hold the celebration of starting up the central computer." While busy taking over the magnetic card.

"hold a celebration? Then I won't go. Is there anything else my sister can do for me? " Star Zero said that he looked at Tang long with bright eyes.

Tang long, who was looked at uncomfortably, stammered: "my sister won't participate.". So. Then start the system right away. You mean help? Um. There are six planets newly occupied by us in the Tianhe galaxy. Please trouble my sister to establish a management system controlled by a central computer on these six planets. " He kept his eyes fixed on the stars as he said these words, and he didn't know why, although he wanted to move his eyes away, he couldn't do it anyway. Why is this ordinary dress better than that star when he was a star? Why do you have the feeling that you want to be around Xing Zero? Why didn't you feel this way at all before? Has the star changed, or has it changed itself?

Star Zero found Tang long's eyes looking straight at him, his face immediately flushed, his head bowed, he turned and ran away. When the strong women present saw that Tang long's eyes had been following Xing Zero, they could not help but show a knowing smile, and it seemed that their masters were really moved. These strong women did not think of that idea at all, and even if they had, they just wanted to stay with her lord forever. Although no one here knew their past, they knew very well that they were a person who could not extravagantly ask for love.

Sally coughed: "my lord, the promotion of those officers.". "

"Oh, I'll just." Tang long, whose face was flushed, had just said half a word, and he immediately remembered something and stopped. Seeing Tang long's action, the girls all looked at their master, and they all knew that the master must have thought of something important in this way.

Tang long said solemnly: "now that the promotion system has been completed, let's use this system to promote officers, and explicitly stipulate in the form of law that no one can promote talents privately." As long as we implement this well, we will be able to prevent us from following in the footsteps of tens of thousands of Romanian federations in promoting people indiscriminately. "

Hearing this, the girls agreed that although there was an urgent need for officers, it would be worth it if they could avoid promoting their subordinates' habit. Besides, now that 3 X Brigades and 1 Moby Dick Brigade are sufficient to resist any enemy invasion, the needs of officers are not very urgent.

Tang long, they didn't go anywhere. They plugged the magnetic card directly into the computer in the conference room. After entering the intranet, they first started the social management service system of the central computer, and then started the promotion system. After the system was started, after a brief browse, it was found that all other military and political personnel, including Tang long, had been recorded.

"Why? What is this sorting button for? " Tang Longdi murmured, and then clicked this button without waiting for everyone to reflect it, and the word "recalculate merit" immediately appeared on the screen. When everyone froze, the words on the screen changed to "redistribute official titles". After staying for a few seconds, the renewed ranking of government officials appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was stupefied to see this new ranking, because except for the "Supreme Commander-in-Chief-Tang long", who was at the top of the list, all the princes and princes below him were empty. Una, who was in second place, has now become a first-class Marquis, not only her, Elsie and other three princes have also become first-class marquis. Phil, who had just been promoted to a third-class duke, became a third-class Earl. Those officials, such as the Earl and Marquis, have been demoted to viscount barons, and to make matters worse, many have been directly demoted to lords.

"this. What's going on? " Tang long looked at the screen dumbfounded and subconsciously clicked on the army's column. The ranking here is even worse. except for the top "Supreme Commander-in-Chief-Tang long," general like Sally and Jess has been demoted to brigadier general, while three brigadier generals Liu Yihui have been demoted to major. All the former school-level officers were demoted to lieutenant officers, while the lieutenant officers were directly demoted to non-commissioned officers. In other words, at this moment, Tang long had only five officers above the school level, and the rest were all officers below the rank of lieutenant.

"what's going on? Why are they all downgraded? How can we fight a war like this? " Tang long croaked as he searched the disk to find a way to recover.

Everyone looked blankly at Tang long fiddling with the magnetic card, but no one made a sound. They did not expect that their exploits were only this seat in the computer calculation. Seeing everyone's look, Una couldn't help smiling and said, "Oh, this computer is really accurate. I knew my exploits were not enough to win the king, but I didn't expect to get a first-class Marquis."

Hearing Una's words, everyone wondered if she was mad. At this time, Sally smiled and patted her chest and said, "Yes, I've always been worried about being scolded in the back with the rank of general, but now I'm not afraid of getting the rank of brigadier general." because this is the rank that my military service deserves. "

The two eldest sisters spoke out, and the girls immediately woke up. They all knew that their contributions were not so great at all, and it was Tang long's love for himself that promoted them to such a high status. However, from the ranking point of view, their own group of people's merit is much higher than other officials, ah, it seems that their own merit and ability is not lower than others. Seeing this ranking, those who are not convinced should have nothing to say.

"Why do you say that? Once this ranked appears in front of the public, it will cause great chaos! Those officers and soldiers and officials will definitely make trouble! No, I have to ask Xing Zero to restore the program to its original state! " Tang long wanted to go out, but he was held by Una.
