When Jiang Fei and the others returned to Planet Skoda with the fleet, more than four months had passed since they set off. Although everything went smoothly, interstellar travel was a waste of time.
After returning to Planet Skoda, Jiang Fei did not have to worry about the compensation for the dead soldiers. The staff would take care of it. However, he had to preside over the acceptance of the new battleships.
In the past four months, the new batch of battleships selected by Isabella had been completed. Because it was a new type of battleship, it required a completely different production line, which caused the production of the new battleships to be more time-consuming. In four months, only one battleship was launched from each production line. However, because the production line had been expanded, the subsequent production of battleships would be much faster.
The new battleships were all lined up in a large military port outside of Planet Skoda's orbit, waiting for Jiang Fei's inspection.
Among these battleships, the Ker-class battleship was the most ferocious. It was like a giant beast with cannons all over its body. Jiang Fei did not need to listen to the engineers' introduction to its abilities to guess its terrifying firepower.
In contrast, the Dunov battlecruiser was much more "delicate". This functional battleship, which was modified from an old cargo ship, did not have much firepower. It was more capable of supporting friendly ships and weakening enemy battleships. Therefore, its slender hull ensured that it would have the smallest area of impact when facing the enemy head-on.
There was nothing much to say about the Sovan-class aircraft carrier. It had a standard design. Both sides of the slender hull were filled with hatches for drones to enter and exit. The only difference from other heavy aircraft carriers was that the Sovan-class aircraft carrier was also equipped with a missile platform launcher.
Because there was a large number of drone production lines inside, when the Sovan-class heavy aircraft carrier did not need to produce drones, it could start the production line to produce some simple missile platforms. These missile platforms were simple in structure and would collapse after a short time. However, during this period, it could release all the missiles it carried to provide firepower support to friendly forces.
The Martha-class dreadnought was extremely arrogant. Unlike the Ker-class battleship, which had cannons all over its body, the Martha-class dreadnought's most eye-catching feature was its vast number of missile launchers. Jiang Fei could almost imagine how Marsha would look like in battle.
The last battlecruiser waiting to be inspected was the Saulf-class battlecruiser. At first glance, no one would treat this battlecruiser as a battlecruiser, because in terms of appearance, it was no different from an ordinary strategic transport ship.
There were no weapons on the Sovan-class battlecruiser at all. The few cannons it had were only at the level of a heavy-duty cruiser. It was not worthy of being called a battleship at all. However, this ship was equipped with the most advanced teleportation device. It could teleport special forces to any corner of the battlefield. It could even ignore shields and teleport special forces directly into the enemy's battleship!
A battleship like the Sovan-class battleship would have been useless in the era of the Trade Federation. On the contrary, the Valsalrian Army was very interested in this kind of battleship. In that era, the Valsalrian Army's Marines were the strongest in the universe.
But now, it was different. Jiang Fei had a group of experts from the Five Heavens in his hands. These guys could completely crush the Valsalrian Army's Marines. So, with this ship, Jiang Fei's fleet could easily capture the enemy's battleship!
"Everyone, you've worked hard!" After inspecting these new battleships, Jiang Fei first bowed to the engineers.
"Hula …" When Jiang Fei bowed, the engineers around him all moved away. No one wanted to accept his bow.
One had to know that Jiang Fei was now the Marshal of the Empire, the de facto ruler of Planet Skoda. Even some well-informed people had heard that Jiang Fei had abolished Rivendell and installed a new king. Who would dare accept such a big shot's bow?
"Marshal, this is what we should do!" said an old engineer. He was obviously the leader of these engineers.
"No matter what, I have to thank everyone. With these new warships, our fleet will be even stronger. Only with a stronger fleet can we minimize our losses in the war. I thank everyone on behalf of the soldiers fighting on the frontlines!" Jiang Fei said from the bottom of his heart. In essence, Jiang Fei was not a warlike person, especially when it came to war. This was the last thing Jiang Fei wanted.
But there was no other way. The world was like this. It would not change for one person. One could only adapt to this world.
So, war was inevitable. The only way to reduce one's losses in war was to expand one's strength. Although Jiang Fei did not want anyone to die in war, if some people had to die, of course, it had to be the enemy!
After inspecting these battleships, Jiang Fei ordered all the munitions factories on Planet Skoda to operate at full capacity. In addition to replenishing a large number of battleships, the other battleships also had to be produced at full capacity. Although the Valsalrian army had suffered heavy losses, Jiang Fei still felt that trouble was coming.
Although Jiang Fei's premonition had no basis, and based on his analysis of the current situation, it was impossible for any faction to pose a threat to the empire's safety, Jiang Fei trusted his sixth sense. So, he decided to meet Velen again.
After making up his mind, Jiang Fei was not in a hurry to leave. After all, he had just picked up Aurelia and had only reunited with the girls for a few days. If he left immediately, it would not be right.
So, Jiang Fei stayed on Planet Skoda for more than a month. During this time, Jiang Fei did not do anything else. He spent all his time with the girls, chatting and confiding in each other.
In this more than a month, although Jiang Fei and the others lived a peaceful life, Planet Skoda was always operating at full capacity. A large number of battleships sailed out of the space dock, one after another, to the temporary military port. This was because the previous military port could no longer accommodate so many battleships!
When Jiang Fei and the others left, the construction speed of the battleships was so slow. The main reason was that all of Planet Skoda's production capacity was put into the construction of the dock. Now, the gravity well of Planet Skoda was densely packed with battleship factories and space docks.
Over the past month, a large number of transport ships from all corners of the Empire arrived on Planet Skoda every day, transporting a large number of raw materials. With Planet Skoda operating at full capacity, a large number of warships were launched, greatly expanding Jiang Fei's fleet.
After a month, Jiang Fei finally decided to leave. The sense of crisis in his heart was becoming more and more obvious.
