Chapter 806 Standard Fleet

The standard fleet of the Great Xia Empire was built after being modified according to the standards of the Blue Star Federation.

Although it has not been verified in actual combat, the highest-level fleet of the empire is generally based on three motherships as the core, assisted by twelve to sixteen battleships, twelve to twenty-four strategic cruisers, thirty or more cruisers, and even hundreds of frigates and destroyers.

Such a well-equipped standard fleet can independently complete most combat missions, and the annual consumption and maintenance costs are huge.

But even for the Blue Star Federation, a fleet of this size cannot be directly controlled by capital.

On the one hand, the cost is too high, and more importantly, it is to maintain the authority of the regime.

Capital is not a fool. Under the condition of mutual restraint, there is a set of rules.

Local tyrants like the Tianma Group can have privileges and layers of moats, but they cannot have the force to overthrow the federation.

He can only mobilize private armed forces. Even if there are national armed forces that are actually affected by the Tianma Group, they cannot be used without legitimate reasons.

This is the rule, otherwise it will be a mess, right?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the Federation to become a confederation?

Therefore, the standard fleet promised by Michelle is based on the private armed forces of the Tianma Group.

In fact, the combat effectiveness is not low.

With a battleship as the core, several auxiliary strategic cruisers, and 20 to 30 secondary firepower ships such as cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, it is enough to complete normal military strikes.

According to needs, some auxiliary ships can be added to carry out adaptive tasks.

This level of armed forces is completely overwhelming to fight against interstellar pirates and wipe out illegal organizations.

The private armed forces controlled by the Tianma Group are an important guarantee for maintaining its status.

Interstellar mines, resource collection points, and even trade routes all need to be maintained by force.

As for interstellar pirates, when their life and death are in the hands of others, they have no choice.

Sometimes, it is very useful to fight against dissidents in the name of interstellar pirates.

In this environment, other companies must accept exploitation when doing business with the Tianma Group. This is the basis of business.

At least in the Tianma galaxy, they are the absolute overlord.

Starting from the basis of force and economy, the reputation of the capital group is maintained, which is the way for the capital of the Blue Star Federation.

However, success or failure depends on Xiao He. Since it is a rule, it must be fair, even if it is just a little bit fair.

Rules are tools for capital to exploit other forces, and they can overturn the table at any time.

But once other capital players enter the market, they can directly use this tool to demonstrate their influence and gain benefits.

Maple Leaf Mining, which is in it, knows this set too well.

They are exploiters and exploited. If they are asked to change positions with Tianma Group, they may not do worse than Tianma Group.

Lin Jie heard Michelle's promise and found that his family really had a chance.

After asking about the details of the warships in detail, he made another guarantee: "How many warships we have, how much profit we can send back.

As long as the Blue Star Federation does not find that there are foreign forces intervening, Tianma Group will not be able to defend all the territories."

The key is that Maple Leaf Mining is barefoot and is not afraid of wasting time with Tianma Group. Anyway, every piece of territory seized is profitable.

Moreover, some of the troubles that Maple Leaf Mining had encountered recently were no longer troubles.

The two sides discussed the details, and the Great Xia Empire promised to deliver the first fleet and personnel in three months to help Maple Leaf Mining compete for dominance.

Maple Leaf Mining had no objection to this.

Since it was tied to the Great Xia Empire, of course, the more attention it received, the better.

Three months passed in a flash.

The Great Xia Empire was systematically forming the first imperial-class standard fleet, and by the way, it also delivered the first private armed force of Maple Leaf Mining.

The entire fleet was composed of a battleship as the core, four strategic cruisers, sixteen cruisers, twenty-four destroyers, thirty frigates, plus fifteen large supply ships, transport ships and reconnaissance ships, forming a large detachment.

The overall personnel exceeded 20,000, with strong firepower strikes, unmanned attack aircraft, mecha knights and other secondary armed forces.

This is also more than half of the current interstellar soldiers of the Great Xia Empire.

Replacing training with actual combat, supporting Maple Leaf Mining while also training troops.

Even the Protestant Church has placed people to train personnel together.

This fleet quickly completed the handover, painted in the name of Maple Leaf Mining, and then sailed into the interstellar channel.

…

Tianma Star!

After two years of searching, Tianma Group has never found the black hand behind Maple Leaf Mining.

Or, the black hand behind the other party is too low-key and has not continued to move.

Except that Maple Leaf Mining is still selling cheap ore, there are almost no clues.

So Tianma Group changed its mind and began to actively instruct its vassal forces to cause trouble for Maple Leaf Mining, trying to force the other party to show their feet.

This is too easy for them.

The strongest private armed forces of Maple Leaf Mining are a group of old cruisers, which are more than enough to deal with ordinary pirates, but facing Tianma Group, it is really a small witch against a big witch.

No other actions are needed. The largest pirate team in the Tianma galaxy began to move and set its sights on several space mining sites of Maple Leaf Mining.

The space pirates searched for their targets and killed a space mining site.

Several Maple Leaf Mining cruisers were destroyed, but they were unable to stop the attack.

Obviously, the harvest from the mines is not enough to make up for the pirates' losses, and they do not have the power to operate in the long term.

In terms of ownership, this mineral site still belongs to Maple Leaf Mining.

As long as they don't give up, they can start mining at any time.

But... once it is mined, it will attract pirate attacks. Is a contract useful?

Tianma Group did not need to take action personally. The next day, companies began to contact Maple Leaf Mining.

"10% off! This price is already very reasonable."

Facing the old chairman of Maple Leaf Mining, the private boss who came to acquire the company was a villain.

"Your current property title deed is just a piece of waste paper. Instead of keeping it, why not sell it to me and I can deal with those pirates."

The old chairman said nothing. In fact, he could have stayed silent.

He even knew that the other party's purpose was not acquisition at all, but just to stimulate himself.

If Maple Leaf Mining makes a mistake, how can it be exposed?

Seeing that he didn't respond, the boss on the opposite side continued: "I'll give you a 30% discount on your other mines, otherwise it will be like this mine, worthless in the end."

This was a clear hint that the pirate attack was premeditated.
