Upon hearing the price, Green's face froze.
The Electromagnetic Agitation Battle Group is one of the main fleet battle groups of the Boca Communications Group.
The entire battle group has 3,000 main battleships, all of which are fourth-generation battleships with strong combat capabilities.
Moreover, these warships were newly built before the subspace storm came.
Green brought the electromagnetic agitation battle group to this galaxy for no other reason than to escort the development of the colony.
The development of a colonized planet is never smooth sailing, but rather naked and bloody.
The counterattack of the indigenous people on the colonized planet, or the encounter with other civilizations, or the oppression of other human forces, all require the Boca Communications Group to have a fleet here to deal with them.
It's not just Boca Communications that has fleets around this pioneering planet; other large groups and companies do as well.
The only difference may be the quantity.
The starship battle groups of human civilization do not have a unified organization, but they are unified in the number of the main fleet.
Each main fleet basically has about 300 main battleships.
When more than three main battleships are combined together, it can be called a battle group.
Green's electromagnetic agitation battle group has the numbers of ten main fleets.
But now this fleet is all in the starship graveyard on the surface of the planet.
Back then, they were the latest models, and they are still considered new models now, although they were manufactured for a long time.
However, the overall service time is not long. At most, it will not exceed thirty years.
This fleet has spent most of its time sealed in the starship graveyard, so its condition is actually quite good.
According to Green's plan, this batch of starships only needs to have enough manpower to maintain them.
If there are suitable crew members and soldiers, it can be driven directly into space.
However, now Li Xin asked for half of the fleet, and Green was a little overwhelmed by the huge request.
Green hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Li Xin, this... is not appropriate..."
Li Xinze waved his hand and said, "Lord Green, there is nothing inappropriate about this."
"Without my help, you won't be able to gather enough personnel to operate these ships within five years, and after five years, you can only fly warships into space."
"To make a warship combat-ready is not as simple as just launching it into space."
"Qualified grassroots commanders are the most important thing. Without the assistance of the Galaxy Defense Group, it will take at least several more years of training before these warships can be considered combat-ready."
Li Xin looked at Green with a sharp gaze and said meaningfully, "Lord Green, now that the subspace storm has receded, the speed is getting faster and faster, and more and more planets are able to access space."
"Under this situation... time waits for no one!"
"In exchange for half of your fleet, our Galaxy Defense Group will train your fleet members. I can even provide you with a group of junior officers. In a year and a half at most, your half of the electromagnetic agitation fleet will have initial combat capabilities, and you can begin your expedition!"
When Green heard what Li Xin said, he began to hesitate.
As a former battle group commander, he knew too well the problems faced in commanding a battle group fleet.
A battle group needs a lot of high-quality talents, and the requirements for psykers are also quite high.
If Li Xin could really provide some grassroots officers, then he would be able to take the fleet away as quickly as possible.
Seeing Green hesitate, Li Xin added fuel to the fire and said, "And I won't take half of this planet and fleet for nothing."
Green was indeed attracted by Li Xin's words. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Xin smiled and said, "I intend to build a large space dock here to produce various ships!"
"With the population resources of this planet, this large space dock can be built in five years at most."
"This space dock will be able to build large warships."
"After the large space dock is completed, I promise to give priority to the construction of warships for the half of the electromagnetic agitation fleet you gave me now and return the same number of warships to you."
"That way, within five years at most after the large space dock is completed, I can return the other half of the electromagnetic agitation battle group's warships to you."
"Think about it. By then, you might have already taken over quite a few of Boca Communications Group's planets and have more manpower. Once these fleets are built, you'll be able to use them as quickly as possible."
Li Xin began to paint a rosy picture for Green.
But at their level, it is not as simple as just drawing pie in the sky.
Green could also see the feasibility of this statement at a glance.
The planet Nan'er under our feet has a population of six billion and is full of talents of all kinds, both high-tech and ordinary skilled workers.
The only thing missing is technology and a leader, but Li Xin's Galaxy Defense Group now provides the leader and technology and is willing to lead them to start work.
In this way, there will definitely be no problem in building and putting the large space dock into use.
The construction of a space dock is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it progresses from small, medium, to large.
During this transition period, these docks can also produce warships or other logistical ships.
For example, a batch of frigates can be built in four months at most, and the quantity is large.
In this way, although Green had a batch of ships taken away by Li Xin, he could get them back in a few years.
Green was secretly calculating in his mind.
If he takes control of all electromagnetic excitation with his own development, he will not accept Li Xin's proposal.
How many years will it take to start conquering other planets?
Five years is enough time for him to train and produce qualified personnel to operate the warship.
Next comes the fleet's sea trials, and then it becomes combat-ready, which will take one or two years.
Add these two together and it’s seven years.
Seven years is enough time for many unexpected changes to occur.
Moreover, he is focused on recruiting elites into the army and training the fleet, so he will inevitably abandon the construction of the space dock. There may be problems with logistics replenishment at that time.
If they accepted Li Xin's plan, they would have to give up half of the planet Nan'er and half of the electromagnetic excitation battle group.
In a year and a half at most, he will be able to set sail and begin conquering other planets.
It can be advanced by five and a half years, and the electromagnetic excitation replenishment fleet can also be replenished in Nan'eryi's space fleet.
Moreover, Li Xin can return the warship in ten years at most, which is only three years longer than the first plan.
With this calculation, Li Xin’s plan is indeed very feasible.
