Chapter 637 Resource Crisis

Inside the Aocheng Group headquarters, in the first conference room.

As the chairman of Aocheng Group, Liu Cheng and Augustine sat at the main seats in the conference room.

Below are a group of senior executives, constantly reporting on the status of various departments.

When it was the turn of the Aocheng Group Interstellar Transportation Company, Fat Hu, as the general manager, stood up and reported to Liu Cheng and others:

“Based on the self-inspection and adjustments of our transportation department, we have been able to ensure that there will be no shortage of most types of material supplies throughout the Black Sand Star Territory.

However, there are two aspects of materials. Even with the help of the black market, there is still no way to ensure sufficient supply. "

Liu Cheng asked:

"What two aspects?"

Fat Tiger said:

"They are food and energy respectively."

Liu Cheng and others frowned upon hearing this.

Due to the unique composition of planet elements in the Black Sand Star Territory, no plants can be grown on the surface of most planets.

However, the yield of plants and meats cultured in nutrient solution and synthesized by artificial cells has always been different from that of traditional water and soil cultivation methods.

This is also the reason why their entire star field’s food supply needs to be imported in large quantities from other star fields.

In terms of energy, because more than 90% of the mineral materials in the Black Gold Star Territory are black gold ores, there is also a lack of energy resources.

The entire galaxy is currently at war.

The resources most needed by the wartime economy are divided into five types: population, food, energy, minerals, and weapons.

They are most in need of minerals.

The casualty rate is currently not high, and troop resources are sufficient.

As for weapons, although the companies in the Aocheng Group and the Black Gold Alliance are relatively lacking in technology in this area.

However, relying on the Black Tiger Gang on the black market to secretly help with purchases, the most basic needs can be maintained.

As for the two issues of food and energy, they are really difficult to solve in a short period of time.

In the past, it was possible to rely on the merchant ship fleet of the Aocheng Interstellar Transport Company to purchase large quantities and transport them back to the Black Sand Star Territory.

However, after entering a wartime state, all resource exporting countries either raised prices for war resource commodities or imposed restrictions on export volumes.

This gives them a headache.

Liu Cheng could only say to Fat Hu:

"We will find ways to solve the food and energy problems later. You should take care of the supply of other materials first. There must be no problems."

If there is a problem with supplies, it is likely to trigger panic among the people and cause chaos in the entire Black Gold Alliance society.

If it is really serious, there will be no need for alien creatures to attack, and the Black Gold Alliance itself will not be able to sustain itself.

Liu Cheng doesn't think that now that the people and employees are grateful to him, they will be as loyal to him as Wang Biao.

If you can't even protect the people's survival needs, the first target of the Black and Gold Alliance Army's resistance will be you.

After Fat Hu's work report was completed, it was the turn of the executives from other departments to report.

Half an hour later, the high-level meeting of Aocheng Group ended.

As soon as Liu Cheng and others walked out of the conference room, a secretary next to Ryan stepped forward and said:

"Chairman of Tucheng and Commander of the Gariway Corps are here in person and said they have something to discuss with you."

Liu Cheng and others frowned when they heard this. They realized that after entering a state of all-out war, Garywei was likely to come into contact with them.

And everyone can expect that what Galliway has to say is definitely not good news.

Of course, it is impossible to disappear. After all, they are the main force in resisting the attack of alien creatures.

Liu Cheng said to Ryan’s secretary:

"It just so happens that there's no need to change the conference room. Let's just bring them here to talk."

After that, Ryan's secretary went to report the chairman's instructions, while Liu Cheng and others turned around and returned to the conference room.

Soon Lane's secretary led a group of Garriway officers in.

Galliway brought a lot of people, basically all the officers of the special operations force battalion level and above came.

The Aocheng Group is headed by Liu Cheng, Augustine, and Ryan.

Fu Yan, Tian Tiantian, Song Ziming and others also stayed.

After seeing that Gary Wei had brought so many people, Liu Cheng realized that what the other party wanted to talk about was not simple, and it was probably related to the defense strategy of the Black Sand Star Territory.

At the same time, he was relieved in his heart. After all, the other party was not going to leave their Black Sand Star Territory alone and plan to evacuate the Black Sand Star Territory.

If Galliway wanted to just leave, he wouldn't have brought so many people with him.

Galliway got straight to the point:

"Chairman Tucheng, you must be aware of the current situation facing the entire United Government."

Liu Cheng nodded and said:

“The third all-out war launched by alien creatures against our galaxy is a difficult moment that affects the survival of each of us.

I wonder if your regiment is confident that it can defend the Black Sand Star Territory after its military expansion? "

Galliway shook his head slightly and said:

"The strength of the troops has doubled, but most of them are new recruits who have never even participated in training missions.

Ground weapons such as firearms and chariots are secondary. The supplement of spacecraft is the primary condition related to how much combat effectiveness we can exert.

At present, the supplements given by the United Government to our Corps in terms of ships are limited to large battleships and spacecraft of the following types.

The number of combat ships of various types, large, medium and small, has doubled, but there is still only one Qin-class strategic cruiser. "

Everyone at the Aocheng Group frowned when they heard this, and Augustine sneered with a slightly sarcastic tone:

"It seems that these special councillors of the United Government have not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

They are still thinking about leaving more food for themselves!"

Gariway said:

"What the special councillors think is not something I, the corps commander, can influence.

Our discussion of the right and wrong of the special councillors has no meaning for the current war situation in the Black Sand Star Region.

The main point I want to talk about this time is the most direct crisis we are facing now.

The Black Sand Star Region cannot grow food on a large scale, and it also lacks energy mineral resources.

When the soldiers are short of food and the fleet lacks timely energy, it is difficult for us to ensure the normal performance of our combat effectiveness!"

Liu Cheng nodded and said:

"Our Aocheng Group and the Black Gold Alliance are also aware of this problem and are thinking about solutions."

Gariway shook his head again He explained to Liu Cheng and others:

"Chairman Tucheng, you haven't realized the seriousness of these two things.

I'll put it bluntly.

The defense strategy given to us by the top military leaders of the United Government is that if we cannot guarantee that each corps has enough chances to defend against the alien creatures, then we will directly abandon the star field we are currently stationed in.

The corps will take preserving its own troops as the primary goal and retreat to the rear star field for defense."

Hearing this, Augustine slammed the table and said angrily:

"The top leaders of the United Government are planning to trade space for time.

But have you ever thought that the star field you directly abandoned has at least billions of people living on the planets there.

Some of the larger numbers may even have tens of billions of people!

You just abandoned the lives of tens of billions of people like this?"
