Warhammer Star Federation Kingdoms Northern Territory

Zhao Chen and his team did not immediately return to the Xiaolong system. Instead, they arranged for some interstellar warships that urgently needed repair to return to the Xiaolong system for rest and repair.

After all, with such a large number of starships, if they were all sent back for repairs at once, they would have to wait in line.

With the high-ranking officials of the Warhammer Interstellar Federation Kingdom all present, Zhao Chen convened a brief meeting with them.

The meeting was simple. First, it explained the threat posed by the demon race. Although the battle was over, it did not mean that the threat would disappear.

Other topics include motivating industrial revitalization and development within the Warhammer Star Federation Kingdoms, encouraging interstellar trade, and so on.

There is another important decision.

"Given the current situation, I feel that simply establishing a defensive line in the northern territory is far from enough."

The best position to intercept the demon race is still at the entrance of this demon route!

Due to the unique characteristics of the area surrounding the waterway, this is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Therefore, I will build a military base in this area." Zhao Chen pointed to a location outside the northern territory, relatively close to the entrance of the Demon Channel, and drew a circle.

Because that route leads to the demon race, it is now simply called the Demon Route by them.

"To rebuild a military base, or to start from scratch."

This requires a significant investment and a lot of time.

"If the demon fleet were to attack again before then, we might be caught off guard," Princess Blanche said.

Zhao Chen said, "I've set the timeframe at three months."

The military base will be completed by the end of March next year. The interstellar industrial fleet responsible for its construction will be provided by us, while the raw materials required will be shared equally by our JF-17 and Warhammer fleets.

The lower-level labor force was entirely provided by Warhammer.

Both Chief Ted and Chief Bear wore thoughtful expressions.

Princess Blanche quickly finished her analysis and said, "There are no problems with the labor force."

We are willing to cover half of the funding needed for this construction, but we need a detailed figure, since Warhammer itself doesn't have much funding right now.

Finally, there's the three-month timeframe.

Based on the construction requirements you provided for this military base, it's impossible to complete it within three months.

Princess Blanche looked at the construction requirements for the military base that had been handed out to everyone.

This includes a range of equipment such as stargates, trade starports, military starports, interstellar fortresses, and interstellar space stations.

"Whether it can be completed within three months is not something you need to worry about; we will take care of that."

As long as the labor and funds arrive on time, this is not a problem.

"As for the budget," Zhao Chen said, glancing at Lilith beside him.

At this moment, Lilith, the housekeeper, stepped in: "According to our current construction plans, this military base is expected to require raw materials or funds worth five trillion star coins within three months."

Five trillion Star Coins?

Even Zhao Chen himself was startled when he heard the number. He had only glanced at it briefly before and knew it wasn't cheap.

But I didn't expect it to be so expensive!

Even if the cost of raw materials for these five trillion star coins is spread evenly, the Xiaolong would still need to bear two trillion five hundred billion star coins.

However, Zhao Chen did not question the number or the suggestion.

Because he knew that there were many purposes behind building this military base.

Firstly, which is the objective everyone is currently discussing: to defend against a possible attack from the demon race.

Secondly, although the military strength of the Dragon Legion is very strong now and the three great empires are behaving themselves, the further away from the Dragon system they are, the more exponentially the deterrent effect will weaken.

However, if we say that building such military bases controlled by the JF-17 Thunder Legion in certain locations is equivalent to indirectly enhancing the JF-17 Thunder Legion's deterrent power.

At the same time, it can also provide a guarantee for the future massive trade system of the Xiaolong Galaxy Interstellar Group. Wherever there is a need, a military fleet can be dispatched to support the suppression in the shortest possible time.

Thirdly, and most subtly, this military base can deter some ambitious family factions within the Warhammer Star Federation Kingdom.

It was like a collar fastened around the neck of the warhammer.

Therefore, even if it comes at a considerable cost, Zhao Chen would agree to establish this military base.

The JF-17 Legion has developed to a point where it appears very powerful.

However, the foundation is too weak. Whether it was Lilith's previous "Xiaolong Galaxy Interstellar Group Strategy" or the construction of this type of military base, it was all to consolidate the foundation of the Xiaolong Legion.

With an unstable foundation, controlling such a vast territory, the slightest misstep could cause the mighty Dragon Legion to sway in the wind and risk collapsing.

This will only be the first military base established by the Falcon Legion, within the current territory of the three major empires and the Falcon Fifteen Star Sector, as envisioned by Lilith and Charlotte.

Many more military bases need to be established.

The next one should be the Holy Radiant Empire.

“Alright, we will arrange this matter as soon as possible.” Princess Blanche glanced at Zhao Chen with her deep gaze.

She's so smart, there's no way she wouldn't be unaware of the implications of this matter for the Warhammer Starfleet Federation.

However, the threat of the Demon race is still there. Without the mighty Dragon Legion as a mountain, the territory of the Warhammer Star Federation Kingdom would be instantly submerged by the Demon fleet.

Therefore, for now, we can only take it one step at a time.

The brief meeting ended.

Princess Blanche and Zhao Chen walked out of the conference room together.

"Your Highness, would you like to go see your sister Leona?" Zhao Chen asked.

Upon hearing Leona's name, Princess Blanche rolled her eyes: "My lord, you're quite the charmer. You've managed to fool my sister like that."

They simply discarded positions such as the princess of the dragon tribe and the fleet commander.

They've gone to your Falcon Legion.

It seems he's still in the position of fleet commander, leading three hundred interstellar warships.

The teasing of Princess Blanche.

Zhao Chen chuckled: "I didn't force Leona, it was entirely her own idea."

As for her position, within our Xiaolong Legion, military ranks are not determined by family background or status.

It's all thanks to my own abilities.

Leona's ability to graduate from our JF-17 military academy and become the captain of a small fleet is already extremely rare.

This is enough to show that her talent and command ability far surpass those of others.

I estimate that after this battle, she will be promoted in recognition of her contributions.

At our JF-17 Thunder, if you are gold, you will surely shine.

Princess Blanche, would you like to consider joining us?

"It's not enough that you poached my sister, you want to poach me too?"

"I thank you for your kindness, Lord, but the Dragonkin tribe still needs someone to manage it," Blanche said with a light laugh.
