A midfield duel in a second-level civilization entered overtime in such a jaw-dropping way.

After the defeat, the Longshan Empire urgently withdrew its troops. Although Lei Wei knew that he would bear the responsibility for the defeat of this battle, he was still quite marshal-like. He ordered to shrink the defense line, and the fleet retreated into the fortress group, carefully guarding the Nok fleet.

Although the Nok Merchant Alliance has achieved victory, it is still too insignificant compared to this war that is destined to be protracted. Lin Feng will give it up as soon as possible. He knows that a storm targeting the Nok Merchant Alliance will sweep across

came, and simply ordered to retreat and enter the fortress planet group to defend against the Longshan Empire's counterattack.

A battle ended like this, but a battle has just begun.

"This battle has come to an end for the time being. Everyone has seen that the battle losses between the two sides in the first stage are actually evenly matched. In terms of manufacturing conventional battleships, the Longshan Empire's technology is more comprehensive, while the Nok Merchant Alliance pays more attention to firepower and speed.

Offensive performance.[

The second wave of attack clusters is the biggest attraction.

Although the performance of the F-class battleships of the two armies is similar, there is a huge performance gap between the two sides' domestically produced high-end battleships, especially in terms of firepower systems.

Judging from the results of the brain calculation, the firepower intensity of the elite battleships of the Nok Merchant Alliance is close to that of the F-class battleships, and is 12% more powerful than the elite battleships of the Longshan Empire. This is already a huge gap."

Zhang Shusheng gave a brief summary.

The reason why the performance of these elite battleships of the Nok Merchant Alliance has soared is actually due to him.

At present, the most powerful main gun technology in the entire Lost Star Zone is in the Chinese Empire. Zhang Shusheng once gave a copy of the main gun technology to express his love to Yun Ya and help her rise to the level of Thunder Company in order to express his gratitude to Yun Ya.

At that time, Zhang Shusheng's request was that this information could help improve the performance of Thunder Company's battleship main guns by about 5%. However, after Yunya obtained the full set of technical drawings, she also applied several of Thunder Company's most cutting-edge technologies.

This is a Nok-class battleship.

So, the results came out. The performance of the battleship's main gun directly jumped by 10%, not only leaving the competitors of the Nok Merchant Alliance behind. Even the Longshan Empire accidentally suffered a big loss.

"We have enjoyed peace and enjoyment for too long. The Longshan Empire is still a little lax. This time it is a wake-up call."

Jiang Baili also lamented that it took a thousand years for the Longshan Empire to enter the second-level civilization. Such a long-standing civilization is indeed prone to problems.

"We also have to see that a emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, this camel is not emaciated to death. The political power has been passed down for thousands of years and has never changed. There are deep-seated reasons why the Longshan Empire can stand still.

I looked through their history and found that the Longshan Empire has not been peaceful all the way during these thousands of years. During this period, whether it was external wars or internal rebellions, it almost led to the destruction of the country several times.

However, every time, the royal family of the Longshan Empire was able to turn the tide and usher in prosperity for a hundred years or more."

Cai E was thoughtful. Recently, he was studying the history of various countries and found many interesting things.

"The Longshan Empire's foundation is deeper than it seems."

Zhang Shusheng nodded, and he did not dare to underestimate the Longshan Empire at all, "This defeat is a wake-up call for the Longshan Empire in advance.

From all aspects of performance, Lin Feng already possesses the demeanor of a commander and has the potential to become a famous general. Coupled with the emergence of the Nok-class battleship, these two factors will seriously stimulate the Longshan Empire."

"Your Majesty, what do you think the situation will be like next?"

Zhou Guolai asked, he was very concerned about strategic prediction.[

Zhang Shusheng smiled: "As Songpo said, the Longshan Empire has a very deep foundation, surpassing the Nok Merchant Alliance, and we don't know how many trump cards they have.

For example, their Longshan-class battleship, although this time it was defeated by the Nok-class battleship of the Nok Merchant Alliance, the Longshan-class battleship that has not undergone large-scale modifications in the field for more than fifty years could be the current battleship manufacturing of the Longshan Empire.

the highest level?

Obviously not!

We have reason to believe that soon, the Longshan Empire's new battleships, which have not been put into large-scale deployment for various reasons, will be put into service. Although they are certainly not superior to F-class battleships, they are not necessarily worse than Nok-class battleships.

The victory of the Nok people was that they caught the Longshan Empire by surprise, and the masters were hit in the face before they could react. But the next step was to compare the comprehensive national strength and war potential of both sides.

Of course, there are also trump cards that both sides may have!"

Zhang Shusheng does not believe that Thunder Arms Company's products can defeat all enemies in the Lost Star Territory. At present, the Empire alone has Tianlong-class battleships and Shenlong-class battleships that can steadily defeat them, and even have an overwhelming advantage.

.

Then, it is very possible that the Longshan Empire may also have battleships that are close to or similar to the Tianlong-class battleships.

However, no matter what, Zhang Shusheng believes that even if the war catalyzes the military industry, and even if countries try their best to obtain advanced technology from advanced civilizations, the Tianlong-class battleship will maintain its advantage for a long time to come.

Just imagine, the Tianlong-class battleship is even better than the F-class battleship in terms of firepower and speed, and its overall performance is not much worse than the F-class.

Such a battleship will not be outdated for a long time in the future, and will definitely be a rare commodity. Zhang Shusheng also hopes to rely on it to make huge war windfalls and complete the rapid rise of the empire.

As for the Shenlong-class battleship, it is the empire's trump card.

"Your Majesty, we can foresee that as the war deepens, battleship technology will change rapidly. The number of our Shenlong-class battleships is still too small. There are only 15 ships in service now. If this number is expanded a hundred times, even if we encounter Longshan

We can also sweep through the empire’s main fleet.”

Sun Xiwu carefully suggested that he only wanted to have more Shenlong-class soldiers serve, as this would be the empire's trump card.

Zhang Shusheng: "The Shenlong class is entering service relatively slowly. After the five ships entered service this year, I have an idea. In the future, 30% of the proceeds from the sale of the Tianlong class battleship will be invested in the production of the Shenlong class battleship system. Including this time,

Arms sales from the Harv Empire.

We will discuss it in detail at the year-end military meeting."

If calculated based on the 80 Tianlong-class battleships sold to the Harv Empire this time, excluding supporting equipment, the battleship alone was sold for about 800 million universe coins.

The number of 30% is 2.4 billion universe coins.

The people present just made a cursory "touch" and were shocked. It seemed that His Majesty was serious about it.

Everyone present here are all important military and political officials, including Cai E, Jiang Baili, Zhou Guolai and others who know the cost. According to the cost of building a battleship with bare plates of 5 million, plus complete supporting facilities, it only costs 6 million cosmic coins to equip one ship.

Calculating this, 40 ships can be built with this arms sales alone. In other words, next year, the number of Shenlong-class battleships that the empire will start construction on will reach 40.

Of course, compared with the Tianlong-class battleship's production cycle of about half a year, the Shenlong-class battleship's production cycle is about two years. This is a gap that is currently difficult for the empire to bridge. It is also the reason why Zhang Shusheng decided to tighten his belt and build a battleship.[

The empire is weak. That's right, so it must fight to support war and sell arms to support its own army.

He also made a calculation himself. If the empire develops safely for 10 years, then he can easily arm a base fleet of more than 400 Shenlong-class battleships, in addition to a very elite and large Tianlong-class fleet.

With such a scale, even if it starts a war with the Longshan Empire's fleet, it will not be unable to fight back, and it can even take the initiative to attack.

However, Zhang Shusheng doubted whether the enemy would give him ten years.

Therefore, he must produce in advance elite battleships that are at least sufficient for self-defense to prepare for emergencies.

At the meeting, everyone's attention also turned to the turtle-like defensive battleship. Its performance was indeed very good. The defense battleships on the Nok side can often withstand more than a dozen main gun salvos. This number is

Very scary.

However, due to the current national strength of the empire, it is impossible to produce much of this kind of turtle cannon fodder. Too little is useless, and too much is a waste of money. It is better to produce Shenlong-class super battleships.

Zhang Shusheng secretly remembered it in his mind, and planned to look back and see if it was possible to get some cheap and affordable models, so that he could produce them for takeout and for personal use.

After the meeting, Zhang Shusheng was about to go home when he heard Zhang Bing say that he had his own communication on the virtual network and it was Yun Ya who came.

"Ya'er, I kept you waiting for a long time. I just finished a meeting."

As soon as Zhang Shusheng logged into the virtual network, Yun Ya rushed over to him. The two hugged each other and lowered their heads slightly. Zhang Shusheng took the sweet lips that were offered to him and separated after a long time.

"My uncle wants to see you. He has just finished his work."

Yunya blushed and let him go. She hadn't seen him for a while, but she really thought about it. It wasn't until the Nok-class battleship proved her strength on the battlefield that she felt relieved. She wanted to see Zhang Shusheng as soon as possible, and she happened to meet Zhang Shusheng.

I'll look for him when I get to Lin Feng.

"Your little uncle is my little uncle, let's get together."

Zhang Shusheng pinched her little face, and then Lin Feng joined the virtual room.

"Shu Sheng, how are you? Are you satisfied with this live broadcast?"

Lin Feng laughed and said, he took the initiative to hug Zhang Shusheng very kindly as a courtesy.

"It turns out that the surprise you mentioned, little uncle, is the Nok-class battleship. Yes, I am very satisfied with its performance. Of course, I am even more shocked by my little uncle's performance, haha."

Zhang Shusheng didn't want to see him outside either. He would suffer the consequences if he did.

"Okay, you don't need to say more. Ya'er is the only daughter in the family, and she will be the absolute controller of Thunder Arms Company in the future. You helped her, the Yun family, and me, Lin Feng, today. We will double your reward in the future.

you."

"Little uncle, the family doesn't speak the same dialect as the other family members."

Lin Feng: "Okay, you, the family business is not big enough now, and despite the advanced technology in hand, I will soon attend the celebration party of the Merchant Alliance Military Department, and I need to report on my work, so I won't delay the love between you two.

I have prepared a small gift for you this time, and I will wait for Ya'er to have a good talk with you."

Lin Feng was so clean and tidy, and he always repaid his kindness. Zhang Shusheng was not polite to him. He had a premonition that he was going to take advantage of it this time. (To be continued...)
