I heard Lilith talk about the development of the Dragon Galaxy.
Zhao Chen felt somewhat disappointed.
When I first came to this world, the Xiaolong Galaxy was a barren place.
The population is a mere 500 million, and it continues to decline.
In just three or four years, the Xiaolong Galaxy has undergone earth-shattering changes.
Having become such an outstanding galaxy, today, residents with Xiaolong household registration feel a sense of pride when walking the streets of the Xiaolong galaxy.
People from other places are eager to have a Xiaolong household registration.
The benefits associated with having a Xiaolong household registration are simply too good to be true.
However, the requirements for joining the JF-17 registration are now very strict, except for the first batch of JF-17 registrations that were directly issued at that time.
Those who naturalized after that were either highly skilled technical personnel or had made outstanding contributions within the JF-17 Legion.
The most time-consuming way to obtain citizenship is to work within the JF-17 system for a long period of time, such as thirty or fifty years, in order to obtain JF-17 citizenship.
Therefore, with a resident population of 30 billion, the registered population is very small!
"In terms of military affairs, we currently have four fully-equipped JF-17 Thunder Legions and two special operations fleets."
In addition, there are six JF-17 Legions still under construction. The construction of the Fifth JF-17 Legion is nearing completion, and all the interstellar warships required by the Fifth JF-17 Legion will be delivered by the end of July.
It is expected that all training programs will be completed by mid-August, and the aircraft will be combat-ready.
"The number of combat-type interstellar warships has reached nearly 15,000," Lilith said.
Fifteen thousand ships... This is not just a simple matter of fifteen thousand ships, but fifteen thousand T3-class interstellar warships.
Lilith added, "More than 300 of them are T4-class starships."
Three hundred T4-class interstellar warships—this number even exceeds the total number of all T4 interstellar warships in the Star Empire after the Civil War.
"The selection of personnel for the Fifth Legion of the Falcon needs to be finalized," Zhao Chen muttered.
Lilith continued, "Our five resource star regions outside have already exceeded 500 billion star coins in monthly output, along with the subsequent deployment of T4 Rich Class heavy interstellar mining ships."
The estimated monthly output value can double!
In addition, our Beiyan Group will be responsible for military procurement orders and other civilian orders in the future, and it is estimated that it can pay us 100 billion Star Coins per month.
The two trading groups, the Northern Dragon Group and the Rose Red Dragon Group, have generated monthly profits of up to 200 billion star coins through interstellar trade.
There's also the Eden Food Trade Group, which Ana is in charge of. It currently owns one thousand T3 Silver Eden-class starships and thirty T4 Gold Eden-class starships, with monthly profits reaching two hundred billion star coins.
Including other miscellaneous income, our monthly revenue has now stabilized at one trillion star coins!
"So... easy... to get... one trillion star coins?" Zhao Chen was somewhat surprised.
He knew his group of companies were profitable, but he didn't expect them to be this profitable.
It's important to know that before the civil war, the Starry Empire's monthly revenue was only around 1.5 trillion, and its annual revenue was around 20 trillion.
This means that the entire ecosystem of the Dragon Legion alone is equivalent to half of the Star Empire.
Perhaps they were trying to figure out what the commander was thinking.
Lilith added, "According to our secretariat's projections, if everything goes smoothly, our annual revenue will surpass that of the Star Empire by the end of next year!"
Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Having combat-type interstellar warships is important.
However, it is important to understand that simply having a powerful fleet is not enough; a solid and substantial logistical, economic, and industrial base is also necessary.
The economy is of paramount importance.
The economic base determines the superstructure!
Lilith began to talk about the next phase: "About our current industrial system."
This does not include Beiyan Group.
We currently possess two thousand T3 Furnace-class heavy interstellar industrial ships, and can produce 30,000 T3 Wolverine-class heavy interstellar armored destroyers or one thousand T3 Emperor-class heavy interstellar battleships per month.
Fifty T4 Gemini-class heavy interstellar industrial ships can produce four hundred T4 Skeleton King-class heavy interstellar armored destroyers or ten T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interstellar armored battleships per month.
The production of interstellar warships alone is estimated to consume 600 billion star coins per month.
Well, Zhao Chen suddenly realized that the one trillion star coins he used to earn in a month might not be enough.
Damn, building these ships is incredibly expensive.
"How long would it take if we wanted to gather all the resources needed for a large-scale battle?" Zhao Chen asked.
Lilith thought for a moment and replied, "Basic combat readiness resources will only take one to two months."
However, if the goal is to annex the entire Warhammer United States in one go, then at least five months are needed to stockpile war resources.
This number is difficult to pinpoint precisely because we also need to tally the number of our fleets that entered the battle.
Zhao Chen nodded in understanding.
Fighting a battle is not as simple as leading a legion of fleets to charge into battle.
When Zhao Chen only had a few or dozens of interstellar warships, he didn't need to care about these things.
But not now.
Now Zhao Chen is responsible for tens of thousands of interstellar warships and tens of millions of female soldiers. Every military order represents the need to operate this massive war machine.
Fortunately, Lilith and the others were there to help him. Otherwise, Zhao Chen really didn't know how he could have handled these things on his own. Just looking at these numbers made his scalp tingle.
"Lilith, go and give them an explanation."
Prepare basic combat resources within a month, and during this period, ensure that the various legion fleets can rest and recuperate.
It can take anywhere from half a month to a month.
We may soon be getting involved in the war between the United States of Warhammer StarCraft.
"I'm worried that the Holy Radiant Empire might cause trouble, so we need to clean up the mess on Warhammer as soon as possible," Zhao Chen said, outlining his future plans.
Lilith had a premonition, and she nodded: "I understand, I will find a way to speed up the preparations in this regard."
Zhao Chen continuously zoomed in on the interstellar sandbox in front of him until it covered the territories of the three great empires.
These three great empires are now like lions, tigers, and wolves.
Zhao Chen knew clearly that although the Xiaolong Legion was very strong now, it was still somewhat inferior to the vast Holy Glory Empire.
If the JF-17 Legion does not open up new battlefields and find new resource points.
The development of the Dragon Legion would then reach a bottleneck, and Warhammer would undoubtedly be the stepping stone.
To annex or control Warhammer and supply the Dragon Legion with resources.
By then, Zhao Chen's Dragon Legion will possess the combat power to crush the Holy Radiant Empire.
