Soon, Zhao Chen received Li Wei's reply.
"According to the construction standards of the Beast Alliance Legion fleet, a fleet of three thousand starships, consisting of three thousand T2-class interstellar warships and one hundred T3-class interstellar warships."
The construction cost is around one billion Star Coins.
A typical fleet of the Dragon Tiger Legion consists of 3,000 T2-class interstellar warships, 300 T3-class interstellar warships, and three T4 Skeleton King-class heavy interstellar armored destroyers.
The construction cost was six billion Star Dollars.
As you previously stipulated, in transactions with the Dragonkin tribe, we will only earn a tenfold profit margin.
The purchase price would then be ten times the aforementioned amount, resulting in 10 billion Star Coins for the former and 60 billion Star Coins for the latter.
Li Wei explained carefully, "Because the Starry Empire's military procurement period is relatively long, it can be postponed a bit."
Therefore, we can focus all our efforts on fulfilling the Dragonkin tribe's military procurement orders for the remaining two months.
It could provide the Dragonkin tribe with military procurement orders worth approximately four trillion Star Coins.
It includes a starfleet of 300,000 Beast Legion-sized ships and a starfleet of 30,000 Dragon Tiger Legion-sized ships.
"There's still the remaining 400 billion star coins in military procurement orders..."
Li Wei looked at Commander Zhao Chen as he finished speaking.
Because this part is no longer his responsibility.
"This part will be produced by our Xiaolong star system. We will produce several T4-class interstellar warships for them according to their needs," Zhao Chen said.
This was Zhao Chen's promise to the dragon princess.
Don't assume that 400 billion Star Coins is a large amount for military purchases.
Based on a tenfold profit margin, that's enough to purchase two T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interstellar armored battleships.
This tenfold profit margin was only possible because Zhao Chen considered that the Dragonman tribe was now on the same side as him.
If it were other tribes that were to make the purchases, the profit margin would be at least thirty times.
Excessive profits?
If you're so capable, go buy it somewhere else.
More than 300,000 interstellar warships.
"If we hand it all over to the Dragonkin tribe, it will be enough for them to fortify their border defenses," Zhao Chen calculated.
In this case, according to the agreement, the Dragonkin tribe will directly pay two trillion star coins for the four trillion star coin military purchase order.
In the past, Zhao Chen would probably have been overjoyed.
Having just gone through a war that cost hundreds of billions of star coins, these two trillion star coins are probably only enough for the Dragon Legion fleet to wreak havoc for a few rounds.
"Then let's proceed with production according to this plan."
"It's up to you, Lao Li." Zhao Chen looked at Li Wei.
Li Wei chuckled: "Don't worry, we'll definitely deliver on time."
The video call has ended.
Zhao Chen looked at Lilith beside him: "We can inform the Dragonkin tribe to pay the deposit."
These two trillion star coins may not seem like much, but they're enough to cover our expenses for a while.
Lilith bluntly exposed Zhao Chen's fantasy: "According to the production task of the T5-level starship that you just agreed on with Chief Engineer Annie and the others."
It is estimated that at least 1.5 trillion Star Coins will be needed for production costs.
Alright.
The money hasn't even entered my pocket yet, but I've already planned how to spend it.
Seeing Zhao Chen's speechless expression.
Lilith didn't kick them while they were down. She said, "But as I just said, we're still processing what's happening with Warhammer."
I have already notified Li Yaqi's Beilong Group and Red Rose's Rose Red Dragon Group to immediately enter the Warhammer market and deliver a satisfactory result to us before the end of the year.
Meanwhile, regarding the four additional star systems outside the Warhammer Interstellar Federation Kingdom that were created due to the withdrawal of the Machine Race.
We plan to send the Beast Legion to take control, and we will then take over their command.
If all goes well, those four star regions will bring us at least 500 billion star coins in revenue per month.
Fortunately, there is some good news.
There is one more thing.
The interstellar warships required by the Seventh Legion of the JF-17 have been basically completed and are currently in their respective training phases.
"The Dragon Galaxy has been asking several times who will be appointed as the commander of the Dragon Seventh Legion." Lilith then mentioned another important matter.
Because of the astonishing ship production speed of the JF-17 Thunder Legion, a JF-17 can be produced approximately every month or two.
Upon hearing this...
Zhao Chen subconsciously glanced at Xue Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the captain's chair not far away.
Because there was no filtering, Xue Xiaoxiao also heard the conversation.
She felt the gazes of Zhao Chen and Lilith.
Without saying a word, she gripped the back of her captain's chair tightly: "I'm not going!"
I'm not going to be a commander.
I'm going to be the captain of my Pluto.
No one can separate us!
"No, no! Whoever wants to go can go!"
Zhao Chen and Lilith exchanged a glance.
They also immediately ruled out Xue Xiaoxiao as an option.
Xue Xiaoxiao had actually been a reserve candidate for the legion commander for a long time.
But this girl is like a child who never grows up. She has a lot of experience in commanding starships, but I really don't trust her with a legion fleet.
"So how many candidates do we have left?" Zhao Chen frowned.
Basically, the veteran generals who rose to prominence with his Falcon Legion have all been given new roles.
“I suggest that it’s time for us to use the third batch of high-ranking JF-17 officers,” Lilith suggested.
Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment.
"This third batch of high-ranking officers of the JF-17 Dragon Legion have all undergone the Goddess Academy-level starship assessment and have served in various JF-17 Dragon Legion fleets."
Some of them are familiar faces to you.
"Our Dragon Legion is growing stronger, and we need to inject some fresh blood," Lilith said.
Zhao Chen rubbed his temples: "Do you have any suitable suggestions?"
Lilith pulled up two holographic images.
"Qingman, a member of the snake-people race, was once Medusa's subordinate and served as a captain. She has been serving in {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} our Xiaolong Legion for over a year."
Wei Shishi is a soldier of the Starry Empire. She was originally one of the captains of the Princess Legion fleet and served as Zhao Ruyue's second-in-command.
After the civil war in the Starshine Empire ended and the Empress ascended the throne.
At Zhao Ruyue's recommendation, he joined our Xiaolong Legion and fought under Commander Charlotte, who rewarded him for his performance.
"These two are the most suitable candidates in my opinion right now," Lilith recommended.
These two Zhao Chens had actually met a few times.
Zhao Chen took a deep breath, and finally, he slid his finger, and the two holographic images in front of him began to spin rapidly, like a roulette wheel.
In the end, Wei Shishi stood tall in front of Zhao Chen.
"It'll be her," Zhao Chen finally decided.
Wei Shishi probably never imagined that her position as commander would come so 'childishly'.
From then on, Wei Shishi took over as commander of the Seventh Legion of the JF-17 Thunder.
beep beep beep
Lilith's handheld terminal rang again.
She glanced at it, then reported to Zhao Chen, "It's a message from Saint Cana of the Holy Radiant Empire."
She requested a video call with you.
"This Miss Saint Cana is probably in a real bind," Zhao Chen said with a slight smile.
