v4 Chapter 1446： Battleship orders and large loans

The expansion plan of the human expeditionary fleet has begun, and orders for the purchase of main battleships from the mechanical empire and the photosynthetic civilization are already under discussion.

However, the 100,000 units of Zro Star Source earned before are not enough to support this expansion plan, and the gap is huge.

Just think about it.

The 100,000 unit of Zro Star Source is the military expenses paid by the Mechanical Empire for the Battle of Pisces μ556, which is equivalent to the cost of hiring a human fleet to fight.

This military expenditure is the cost of hiring 36 warships in the expeditionary fleet.

Now the expeditionary fleet will expand the fleet size from 36 warships to 72 warships, which is equivalent to purchasing 36 warships.

100,000 units of Zro Star Source are only enough to hire so many warships. If you want to buy them, the difference is naturally huge.

"The order for the purchase of the battleship has been negotiated, and the Mechanic Empire and the photosynthetic civilization have taken the order together. The photosynthetic civilization is willing to give a large short-term loan as an advance payment for the battleship, so a part of the order is given to the photosynthetic civilization." After the negotiating team has negotiated, they will report back.

It is best to be able to negotiate a loan, which can temporarily solve the funding problem of ordering battleships.

"The photosynthetic civilization is so refreshing? Are you willing to give a large loan?" Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

After all, the funds required to purchase 36 warships are astronomical.

Moreover, this time, in order to adjust the fleet's collocation, all the warships ordered were ghost cruisers.

It is the model of the Carbon-based Alliance against the Palerce Felwood-class ghost cruiser.

The war between the Carbon-based Alliance and the Palestine civilization has been fought for such a long time.

The arms race between the two sides has been going on.

The Felwood Ghost Fleet is the ace fleet of the Palestine civilization. It has won many victories and made outstanding achievements.

The Carbon-based Alliance knows that Felwood's ghost fleet is powerful, and naturally wants to have such a fleet.

Therefore, the three civilizations in the Carbon-based Alliance have tried to design battleships against the Felwood-class ghost cruisers.

Finally, the ghost cruiser Augustine class, which cooperated with the mechanical empire and the photosynthetic civilization, was successfully developed.

However, this type of ghost cruiser was slowly put on hold after being commissioned on a small scale.

Because there is no fleet skill like Felwood Lester in the Carbon-based Alliance, even if you pilot the Ghost Cruiser, it will not be effective.

Therefore, after the mechanical empire and the photosynthetic civilization built a batch of Augustinian-class ghost cruisers, they found that there was no fleet skill to cooperate and the effect was mediocre, so they slowly gave up.

The reason for the abandonment is not that the ghost cruiser's combat effectiveness is weak.

In fact, the ghost cruiser has the same firepower as the standard cruiser, faster speed, and slightly lower energy shield. Taken together, the combat power of the ghost cruiser and the standard cruiser is almost the same.

The reason why the Carbon-based Alliance will abandon the Ghost Cruiser is actually because of the price-performance ratio.

The construction cost of the ghost cruiser is 30% higher than that of the standard cruiser, but the combat power is about the same. Moreover, when it is incorporated into the standard fleet, it cannot give play to the advantages of the ghost cruiser.

Therefore, in the end, the Augustine-class Ghost Cruisers were abandoned by the Carbon-based Alliance.

There are still more than a dozen ships in service, as standard main cruisers, incorporated into the standard fleet.

However, the ghost cruiser, which has a general effect on the carbon-based alliance, is completely different in human hands.

Fang Yuan has copied Felwood Lester’s fleet skills.

The raid tactics that Felwood can use by the Ghost Fleet can also be used by the Human Expeditionary Fleet.

Therefore, the Augustine-class Ghost Cruiser, designed in cooperation between the Mechanical Empire and the Photosynthetic Civilization, is a very suitable choice.

Moreover, the Mechanical Empire agreed to deliver the sixteen Augustine-class Ghost Cruisers in service first, and the subsequent orders will be delivered one year later.

For this reason, the Human Expeditionary Fleet needs to pay for the purchase of these sixteen ready-made Augustine-class ghost cruisers, resulting in excessive financial pressure.

Fortunately, the loan from the Photosynthetic Civilization temporarily solved this problem.

Fang Yuan did not expect that the photosynthetic civilization would be willing to provide such a large amount of loans. After all, before the Pisces management council of the photosynthetic civilization, in order to please the three-eyed civilization, he even refused to communicate.

"General, Piggs has transferred back to the home planet of the photosynthetic clan, responsible for import and export trade, and now our trade is all under Pigous's control." The team leader in charge of the order explained.

Fang Yuan understood it as soon as he heard it.

When he was in the galaxy at the beginning, Piggs did not like war, and has repeatedly stated that he would like to be responsible for trade work if he is transferred back to the home planet in the future.

After the Palese Galactic Distant Star Empire fell, Piggs continued to work for two years, and after taking over the galactic affairs, he returned to the photosynthetic home planet.

According to his wishes, coupled with his friendly relationship with humans, he is specifically responsible for the import and export trade with human civilization.

In fact, human civilization is still just a stellar civilization, responsible for trade with human civilization, for the high-level of the parent planet of the photosynthetic race, it is a job with little future.

However, Piggs still took the job.

Fang Yuan heard that Piggs was now in charge of import and export trade with humans, and he immediately understood why he could get such a large loan.

This loan must be obtained by Pigues, and he also needs to take a very big risk for it.

"Are there any additional terms for this loan?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Yes, the loan requires us to repay half of the loan within one year, and the remaining half can be relaxed to three years." The team leader in charge of the order replied.

This requirement is fairly normal.

Obviously, the bank of the parent planet of the photosynthetic civilization did not have confidence in human beings. It was because of Piggs' efforts to obtain this loan.

It should be the bank of the parent star of the photosynthetic civilization that this loan is too risky, so humans are required to repay half of the loan within a year to prove the repayment ability.

"It's been too long for a year. When the Ghost Cruiser delivered by the Mechanical Empire arrives, it can be returned immediately." Fang Yuan finished speaking and let the team leader rest assured to sign the order.

After the team leader leaves.

Fang Yuan opened the star map and began to consider how to repay this huge loan.

This loan is as high as 10 billion Union currency, and it needs to be repaid in half within a year.

This was helped by the old friend Piggs, and it was already the best plan.

Therefore, Fang Yuan stared at the star map to see where there was such a large sum of money to repay the loan.

Now human beings have twelve home planets, each of which needs to be developed, and there is no money from the earth.

In other words, it is not enough to sell the earth.

Therefore, only the idea of ​​the Pisces dwarf galaxy can be hit.

Fang Yuan looked at the star field around μ556 Pisces, as if he was looking at the star that is more valuable.
