If Xiao Ran had not converted the 25th Fleet into an exclusive faction, such a simple trade and cooperation alliance would have been suitable. It gave these autonomous fleet groups and border forces a basis for close cooperation and mutual unity. The rest would be a matter of time and patience. Of course, if they really wanted to form a political alliance to go against the Earth Unified Army, no one would do so.
These fleet groups and forces could resist the Earth Unified Army, but after all, they were too far away. The Earth Unified Army could not control them at all. Anyway, these fleet groups and forces were nominally subordinates of the Earth Unified Army, and there was nothing for the Earth Unified Army to covet. Whether it was autonomy or making some small moves that were beneficial to their own forces, these things were harmless to the Earth Unified Army.
If they really wanted to form a political alliance, they could not have enough confidence to fight against the Earth Unified Army before the Earth Unified Army could react. The final result would be needless to say.
Even Xiao Ran did not intend to completely cut off all ties with the Earth Unified Army. If he did, there would be no room for reconciliation at all. For the development of the 25th Fleet, there would only be disadvantages and no benefits. The relationship between the fleet and the Earth was like that of a mother and son. The mother and son could quarrel and have conflicts, but how many of them would really cut off ties? At most, like the 7th Fleet, they would ignore the orders of the Earth Unified Army. But if the Earth was attacked, the 7th Fleet would definitely send troops to help the Earth.
Therefore, this alliance was still a cooperative alliance in essence, and it could also give these forces more say in terms of the Earth Unified Army. But this was far from enough or meaningless for Xiao Ran.
Did Xiao Ran need to have a say in the Earth Unified Army? Probably not. Once Cruzet's plan succeeded, Admiral George would almost become the representative of the 25th Fleet on Earth. Then, George would have the right to speak for the 25th Fleet in the Earth Unified Army.
After a period of time, when the bugs returned, or even after Xiao Ran had experienced more worlds, would he need help when the fleet had problems? Similarly, no one would dare to provoke the 25th Fleet, which had the support of the bugs and the help of the primitive demons. At that time, if even he couldn't solve the problem, then those ships would be useless even if they came. They would either give him EXP or benefits.
Xiao Ran was actually quite satisfied with this alliance, but what he valued more was the proprietary technology of these ships and forces. For example, L.A.I's small FOLD jump engine that could ignore most FOLD jump faults and could be used multiple times instead of just one time. For example, MED warheads and missiles, super weapons like the Dimension Devourer, and even the VF-27 that L.A.I could now produce independently. The Holy Shield was similar to the mass-produced Mech technology.
Since the 25th Fleet had so many unique technologies, it didn't make sense that the other fleets and forces didn't have their own technologies. Perhaps the technologies in the hands of these autonomous fleets and border forces were beyond even Xiao Ran's imagination.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ran took out a pen and made some additions to the proposal. In view of the unity of the Alliance, he suggested that all parties could trade or disclose their technology on a regular basis. He wrote down some of the projects that could be disclosed and traded. Then, he called Catherine over and handed the proposal to her. He asked Catherine to find a professional to fill out the proposal and then call it over for him to look at.
In addition to these things, the Earth United Army left behind a lot of damaged or damaged battleships when they left. Law found a few of the most intact battleships among the damaged battleships on behalf of Xiao Ran, and chose two battleships at the cost of 80,000 war merits. After using the [Waste Recovery Merchant] skill, two more double-hulled battleships appeared in Xiao Ran's inventory. They were called Tianen IV Heavy Cruisers, but although they were both Tianen IV Heavy Cruisers, there was a big difference between the two battleships.
The [Waste Recovery Merchant] skill seemed to be tailor-made for Law. Under the influence of his title, there was basically no possibility of failure in recovery. And compared to Xiao Ran, who spent 80,000 war merits to recover a slightly damaged or intact battleship, Law only needed to spend 40,000 war merits to recover a moderately damaged or highly damaged battleship.
Tianen IV Heavy Cruiser, Standard Class. It has an orange-red color, a beautiful overall arc, and looks very good. It has a gravity control system, a FOLD jump system, a thermonuclear reactor system, and 6 large missile launchers. Four main cannons. Because it is a double-hulled battleship, it has two Gnacou, four launch ports, as well as machine gun turrets, small beam cannons, and countless miniature missile launchers all over the hull.
Tianen IV Heavy Cruiser, Heavy Armored Type, gray in color. Compared to the Standard Class, the four main cannons have been replaced by two large main cannons with higher output. The armor has been at least doubled in thickness. The missile launchers have been changed from six to four, but the number of launches from four is more than the Standard Class. In addition, there are various secondary cannons on the left and right sides. The thickened and widened armor is also equipped with more automatic cannons. The Gnacou has not changed, but the number of launchers has also been reduced to only two.
The Standard Class is more like a comprehensive ship with the name Heavy Cruiser, and the Heavy Armored Type is a real Heavy Cruiser with thick armor and high firepower. It is simply a mobile firepower turret.
The integrity of the two battleships is also more than 50% and less than 60%, but they can be repaired directly in this world and find a berthing place, so the integrity is not too important.
Of course, whether it is the Standard Class or the Heavy Armored Type, Tianen IV, in the world of Ultra Space Fortress F, can at most be regarded as a relatively good class of human battleships, but in many other worlds, it can be regarded as a very good elite-level battleship. Compared with the Archangel, its advantages are quite obvious.
But the Archangel is a kind of belief, and the Tianen IV is more practical, but if there is a MACORSS …
There is no need to keep these two Tianen IV battleships. Selling them is the most correct choice.
With the arrival of the S.M.S fleet hired by Sherry Dew, dozens of S.M.S branches and nearly a hundred MACROSS battleships …
The QUATR class battleship also once again expanded the combat capability of the fleet, and it also brought the two battleships that Xiao Ran had been looking forward to for a long time. Xiao Ran also put down all the work at hand and left it all to Katherine. He took a large group of people and personally went to the universe to welcome the incoming S.M.S fleet.
On Earth, after a few days of many space jumps, the Earth Command and Warship Team that left in a sorry state finally returned to Earth. 100,000 intact battleships went to the 25th Fleet, but only about 60% of the battleships returned. In addition to the battleships that were lost, some of the battleships actually 'disappeared' during the space jump. They lost so many battleships and returned in defeat without any military achievements.
Initially, with such a result, even if Admiral George was not punished, he would definitely be targeted by the people from the Earth Unified Army headquarters. He might even be implicated due to his failure. However, the actual situation was that Admiral George led the army to surround the perimeter of the Earth Sphere's defensive line and started to question the Earth Unified Army headquarters aggressively.
Everyone in the entire fleet, from the lowest soldier to the highest officer, was suppressing their anger. There was actually a traitor in this mixed fleet that was single-handedly organized by the Earth Command Headquarters, and he almost killed the highest-ranking officer in the 25th Fleet. He even caused the fleet to suffer such a great loss, sacrifice, disappearance, and capture of so many comrades. The soldiers who returned in defeat from the 25th Fleet were also full of hatred for the entire Earth Command Headquarters.
Admiral George arrogantly surrounded the Earth Ring's defensive line. The Earth Command Headquarters, which was originally prepared to deal with Admiral George as a traitor, were all stunned by Admiral George's shout.
"Do you want me to die? Do you want me to die in the 25th Fleet? Do you want to borrow the swords of the 25th Fleet? Do you want to borrow those insects and primitive demons to kill me? I didn't expect that I didn't die during the fleet meeting, but when the fleet let me go back to the fleet, I was almost killed by my own people. Heh, your arrangements are not bad. How many people in the mixed fleet were arranged by you to kill me? You actually did such a thing when the two armies were facing each other! "
"If you don't give me an explanation, then even if I have to risk my life, I will bring this angry fleet to give you an explanation!"
When a video of the battle was transmitted to the headquarters of the Earth United Army, the supreme commander led a large group of generals to watch the video. Less than an hour later, an investigation team and consolation team hurriedly entered Admiral George's flagship from the headquarters of the Earth United Army.
The things that appeared in the video were really beyond the imagination of the Earth Command Headquarters. The appearance of the traitor, the number of insects that far exceeded the estimation, and the threat of the primitive demon that shouldn't have appeared at all immediately gave the higher-ups of the Earth Command Headquarters a headache. They didn't dare to mention what should happen if Admiral George failed. At this time, the most important thing was to appease the anger of Admiral George and all the soldiers of the fleet to avoid causing more chaos.
After some pacification, not only did Admiral George not receive any punishment, but he also received a reward from the Earth Unified Army headquarters. Almost every soldier in the fleet that followed Admiral George to the 25th Fleet received some compensation. Only then did this matter calm down a little.
However, within the Earth Command Headquarters, especially among the higher-ups, a strange atmosphere had already risen without anyone noticing. That was suspicion. Everyone was suspicious of the people around them. They knew very well that this matter was not arranged by them, so naturally, after seeing the 'truth', they would suspect others. Cruzet's scheme had also begun. (To be continued.)
