Chapter 744 Resource Dilemma

Emperor Kipling Yeron finally implemented the think tank's advice.

He transferred two Hard Scale Battle Groups directly under the Empire to the border and headed to the Datu A galaxy.

He also ordered Brown Yeron to build a huge star fortress in the Datu A galaxy.

In this way, in a few years, the Datu A galaxy will have 5,000 fourth-generation main battleships.

At the same time, they increased their military aid to the Tanni Empire and the Sasville Confederation, and even signed some technological mutual assistance agreements for some projects, giving part of the technological aid to the Tanni Empire.

As a result, Li Xin and Galaxy Defense Group became very uncomfortable.

All along, the universe has been developed from the united star of Deneb.

Li Xin has always been using a model of fighting to support fighting.

The losses incurred in a war are huge, building ships consumes many resources, and cultivating elite clones also costs a lot.

The cultivation of elite clone psykers, speeding up their training and advancement, consumes even more.

A lot of energy and medicine are used.

This is the basis for Li Xin to quickly form a fleet and have qualified soldiers.

But all of this is just burning money.

The first thing to be burned was the money of Walker's guardian.

Next to burn were the stockpiles of resources of the Dalhash hegemony.

Later, the war reparations from Moranok were burned, and finally even the contents of the storehouse were used after the conquest of Moranok.

Now the warehouses on these planets are so empty that rats can run through them.

However, after conquering the interstellar lordship of Moranok, Li Xin had to slow down the speed at which he spent money and resources.

The first step is to conquer the interstellar lord country of Moranok. Their country had already entered a state of war before being conquered.

A large amount of stockpile resources had been activated, and the wandering fleet had taken away a large portion of them, resulting in Li Xin not getting much spoils.

But at least this can make up for the losses.

Next is the battle against the Tany Empire and the Great Veron Authority.

The Tanni Empire fought in vain because it did not gain any resources because the Venom Family's fleet was watching it.

The Great Viron Authority fought and also obtained the resources stored by this civilization.

But this civilization also had a wandering fleet that took away many resources.

Now the Ahmed battle group is in the Veron star field, and it needs to expand its fleet to deal with the threat from the Tany Empire and organize post-war reconstruction work.

This part of the spoils obtained from conquering civilizations can basically not be supplied to other places.

In Narbo's Star Fortress, Li Xin looked at the financial information sent in from all over the place and sighed:

“Resources, resources!”

“If only there were more resources!!!”

"well!!"

A penny can make a hero fall, that's all.

The Galactic Defense Group has conquered too many planets in recent years, and at too fast a speed.

Leaving behind a mess.

Among these conquered planets, only the four planets in the Dalhash star field have become stable and can stably produce resources and supply consumption.

The two planets that were once the Finu Empire were simply bottomless pits, and the post-war reconstruction costs were enormous.

The life planet of Moranok can now maintain normal expenses because of the joining of the surrender faction.

However, post-war reconstruction is still necessary, plus the reconstruction of star bases in space.

These planets can only contribute a small portion of their resources to the Galactic Defense Corporation.

It will probably take about ten years to get back on track.

This is the disadvantage of the model of using war to support war.

Once the war is lost or the desired resources are not obtained, it is easy to fall into a vicious cycle.

The Galaxy Defense has many fleets, which are very fierce and powerful.

But these all require a lot of money.

Without resources and energy, these ships are simply Li Xin's death warrant.

This is because the ships are operated by elite clones, so Li Xin can save a lot of expenses.

Even so, Li Xin, who is as strong as an A-level psychic, is so worried that his hair is about to be pulled out.

This is also the reason why the previous Moranok interstellar lord state, the Tany Empire, did not always maintain a large fleet.

Maintaining an army is really too expensive.

Maintaining a starship is ridiculously expensive.

The Moranok Interstellar Lord State and the Tany Empire once engaged in an arms race when their technology had just entered the second generation of ships.

Both civilizations had suffered losses, so after developing the third-generation ships, they were very restrained in maintaining the number of their fleets.

There is no way to defend the galaxy. Knowing the potential threat of the Yelong Empire, they are frantically increasing their military strength.

Now comes the bitter fruit.

After confirming that the Yelong Empire would not go to war for the time being, Li Xin hurriedly ordered to stop the military expansion plan.

But even so, the number of fleets that Li Xin has at his disposal is very large.

First is the Ahmed Battle Group. The fleet needs to be expanded here in order to deal with the threat from the Tanni Empire.

The spoils of war in the Vilon region, as well as the resources produced subsequently, will be supplied to Ahmed's battle group.

The original fleets of the Ahmed Battle Group were the 12th Assault Fleet and the 16th Assault Fleet.

There are a total of five main fleet numbers.

After conquering the Great Velon Authority, they began to expand their military.

The 22nd Assault Fleet was newly built, consisting of 300 ships.

Then, after summoning the Xingyuan Fleet, Li Xin arranged for the Seventh and Eighth Xingyuan Fleets to provide support.

The other ships of these two fleets, as well as the corresponding carrier-based aircraft, need to be built in the Vilon star field.

It is expected that when all the fleets are completed, the Ahmed battle group in the Veron star field will have six main fleets plus two star fleets.

The total number of ships reached 2,400.

Next, in the Narbor star field.

This is where Li Xin’s main fleet is assembled.

When the Galactic Defense went to war with the Tany Empire, the Capital Star Region and the Moranok Star Region were also building two main fleets respectively.

After discovering the Venom Family Fleet of the Yelong Empire, Li Xin asked Gao Bingyan to bring the garrison fleet, as well as the two, the 20th and the 21st assault fleets, to garrison at Narbo's star fortress defense line.

After the war, in order to deal with the threat from the Yelong Empire, Li Xin even prepared to start building five main fleets at once.

But now that he found that the Yelong Empire had no intention of going to war for the time being, Li Xin stopped the construction of these fleets.

Now, just by replenishing the six Xingyuan fleets, the military expansion work will be completed.

Therefore, currently in the star fortress defense line of the Narbor star field, there are a total of sixteen main fleets of the Galaxy Defense, plus six star fleets.

The field fleet reached 6,600 warships.

And ten garrison fleets and a thousand warships.

The total number of warships in the fleet reached 7,600.
