Chapter 215 Emergency Expansion of the Fleet

"So the public opinion detected so far mainly comes from Mary Bay Industries, Yaoguang Defense and the Timler family of the Star Dragon Empire?"

"Yes, the common characteristic of the three of them is that they have all been tricked by you."

There was a burst of laughter in the office of the intelligence analysis team.

"Ahem, you intelligence officers need to be strict in what you say. How can you call it a trap?"

Amber, who was sitting in the main seat, twisted her neck unconsciously, and then continued:

"Let's get down to business. According to the information you have collected, Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense issued a joint statement to respond to the unfair competition they have encountered recently? And the Timler family has also found the head of our Atlas. superior?"

"Yes, so we are likely to face attacks from multiple directions at the same time."

"I understand the truth, and I can also guess the actions of Mary Bay Industries, but I still can't figure out why the Timler family can find us. Is there a mole among the miners who has leaked the secret?"

"We have also conducted investigations on this."

‘Spy Chief’ Isabel said:

"However, the mining site in the asteroid belt has only one way to communicate with the outside world. Only the high-power communication device on the operational base can do this. We have checked the communication records from the time we took over to the present and found no abnormalities, so we have temporarily ruled out the possibility of a mole. possible."

While talking, Isabel opened another graphic investigation report.

"At present, we suspect that the most likely possibility is the black market doctors who removed the 'slave chip' at that time. These guys have no professional ethics, and the Timler family has indeed been frequently inquiring about information on the black market recently."

"Tsk, I knew these people were unreliable."

Amber was a little helpless, but she really didn't think of a better solution at the time.

Everything you walk leaves behind a trace, although this is the famous saying of Edmond Rocca, the father of forensics.

But there is nothing wrong with this sentence even if it is applied to the current situation.

After all, as long as there are traces of Lilith that cannot be removed through the Internet, they will always be discovered by someone who is interested.

"How many enemies do we need to deal with if we assume the worst?"

"If Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense jointly dispatched, while maintaining their own daily operations, they should be able to pull out a 15-20 ship escort detachment and equip it with a light cruiser as the flagship.

The Timler family has not started negotiations with us yet, but if they are determined to cause trouble, judging from the strength of their family and the title of the family leader, 80% will dispatch a escort detachment of 12-15 ships. Moreover, the proportion of destroyers will be relatively high, and it is also very likely to be equipped with a light cruiser. "

Listen to the intelligence that Isabel compiled through the current intelligence network and the information provided by Orns and Cliffs.

Amber found that this group of people was indeed not that easy to deal with.

Although dozens of destroyers and frigates are not even a drop in the bucket in the navy of the Federation and the Empire.

But in the current stage of the corporate war, just judging from the number of ships participating in the war, it can already be called a ‘battle of bankruptcy for the loser’.

"It seems that the fleet expansion plan must be started in advance. Originally, I wanted to develop it for a while."

Amber rested her elbows on the table and crossed her hands on the bridge of her nose like a commander.

“With Atlas’s current funds, how many ships can it purchase in the second-hand ship market?”

"The funds obtained from the previous sale of the two Peregrine Falcons have all been used to expand the mining team. The current funds on the company's account mainly come from the income of Atlas Mining and the funds recently obtained by the 'Financial Business Department'. "

Speaking of this, Isabel had to say in an admiring tone:

"The capabilities of the Financial Business Department are indeed very strong. If we include the funds they will gradually recover in the past few days, we can purchase 3-4 more destroyers in a short period of time. The specific situation needs to be considered based on the actual market price. ”

"That is to say, the fleet can only expand to six destroyers in a short period of time, which is still too few. A head-on battle will definitely not be enough."

"We also need to consider whether the training speed of the crew during this period can keep up."

Listening to Isabel's words, Amber couldn't help but fall into silence.

Looking at Amber, who had been thinking but had no clue, Isabel, Atlas's current 'secret agent chief', slowly said:

"Our intelligence analysis team has an idea."

Amber raised her head and looked at the intelligence team in front of her that was led by Isabel, with a few surviving electronic warfare technicians as the backbone, and a group of 'cat ladies' as the basic staff.

Finally nodded.

"Speak your mind."

"It's very simple. We are going to put on a good show where the crane and the clam fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit."

The method Isabel and the others came up with was very simple, which was to use the information gap between the two parties to muddy the water.

Although Atlas does not yet know about Lilith's existence, core employees still know that Amber "has" powerful network information warfare capabilities, and has also recently developed black technology for real-time communication in nearby galaxies.

Since they have such an ability, they can completely overwhelm the other party's intelligence personnel with a large amount of false intelligence, and ultimately draw wrong conclusions in the chaos.

It would be best if the other party can use wrong intelligence to lead the fleets of Mary Bay Industries, Yaoguang Defense and the Timler family to the engagement area arranged by Atlas after dispatching the fleet.

With the current relationship between the Federation and the Empire, if the timing is just right, everyone in Atlas can sit back and watch a big show.

But the premise of all this is to make the other party believe in wrong information.

After listening to Isabel's words, Amber seemed to be awakened and quickly figured out some of the joints.

"Network information warfare is one aspect. If we want the other party to be completely hooked, we may need Randall and Cleves to act. It just so happens that the Hermes and Ares are also suitable for this work."

Amber knocked on the table with the joint of her index finger.

"Let's follow this general direction. I'll trouble everyone in the intelligence analysis team for the details. I will also seize the time to expand our own fleet. If we want to make trouble when they are both hurt, our own strength cannot be too weak."

Just as the financial terrorists received Amber's instructions to "brothers, hurry up and make money", they urgently opened up a new track to earn foreign exchange spreads.

In the Atlas Equipment Manufacturing and R&D Center, which was recently put into use in Babel Manor.

The atmosphere between Eugene Koch and Ornes seemed a little awkward.

After all, Ornes had planned to use special means to "violently recruit" Eugene some time ago.

Now, all of a sudden, the two sides have become colleagues in a new company, and the other party has become the director of the R&D center because he joined earlier and "brought in with capital".

Moreover, all the equipment and skilled workers in the research center are packed and brought from the Trident Studio, so Eugene's voice is still quite large to be honest.

Although Ornes, as the deputy director, did not care too much about the principal and deputy positions, after all, the salary offered by Amber was enough for him to forget all his dissatisfaction.

But when facing Eugene, he still felt "a different taste in his heart".

"Mr. Ornes, Mr. Ornes?"

Eugene stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ornes, pulling the distracted guy back.

"I'm sorry." Owens' face was a little embarrassed.

"When I see you, I can't help but think of the past. Now I think that the approach at that time was too radical."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Owens, at least with the intervention of the boss, the bad ending didn't happen, right?"

Eugene smiled. As a rough man, he no longer felt the initial disgust towards Owens during this period.

What's more, everyone is working in Atlas now, and they are all colleagues.

"I also hope that you can adjust as soon as possible, so that we can complete the finalization of the first generation of single-soldier combat exoskeleton system as soon as possible and put it into mass production.

If we want to follow the boss's plan and let all the marines under the company be equipped with exoskeletons, this is a big challenge."

Looking at Eugene's energetic smile, Owens couldn't help but think of himself when he first entered the industry.

After completely letting go of something buried in his heart, Owens also smiled and turned on the holographic projection device on the design table.

"Then let's get started, Director Eugene."
