Chapter 147, Do you know how expensive orbital strikes are?

"Greenskins are born for war. As long as the war continues, the greenskin spores of the same tribe will develop faster and more greenskin aliens will be generated. It is not just a matter of quantity, their technology will also increase.

Rapid growth in the process.”

Martins carefully supplemented Gu Hang's knowledge about the 'cancer of the universe'.

"Fortunately, you didn't lose. If they win a key battle, their growth rate will become faster. In fact, these guys in Junk Town have already given those greenskins a victory.

, which is equivalent to stepping on the accelerator of development for their clan."

"Fortunately, this green-skin clan has not developed long enough, and the starting point of development is in the ruins of the city. It is said that there are often waste energy storms here... If it is in a warm forest area, the land will be more fertile.

If it's a local area, maybe what we have to face is a tide of millions of greenskins."

"Facing this kind of enemy, it is not a wise choice to continue to fight a war of attrition. It takes twenty years for a human soldier to become a qualified warrior from the time he is born; those greenskins can fight just as they grow out of the ground.

"

"If the problem is not solved as soon as possible, what we will face next may not be 20,000 green-skinned orcs, but double the number of green-skinned orcs, and ten times the number of low-level green-skinned creatures such as grats.

Their technology will even advance further, and their artillery may become

It will become more powerful, shoot farther, and the armed trucks will become bigger and more ferocious. It is not surprising that something that can be called a monster or a snake god will appear again. Among the green-skinned races, sometimes there will be people who rely solely on the body.

A being whose strength can equal a Space Marine."

…

After listening to a lot of information about the green skins that Martins told, Gu Hang's face turned completely dark.

Some previous plans have to be overturned.

Just like the green skin characteristics mentioned by Martins, the best way to deal with this kind of enemy is to bulldoze him in one wave. Don't fight a war of attrition, and don't expect to reduce the number of enemies. Even if it is bulldozed in one wave,

, and the quantity must be kept to a very low level.

Otherwise, the subsequent troubles will be endless.

"I understand what you mean, thank you for the information." After Gu Hang thanked Martins, he made a request, "I will contact the Quintet immediately, and Brigadier Yelicia will provide us with orbital strike support.

.We will launch the attack immediately after the orbital strike firepower is covered, and the time will be set in three days."

Martins nodded: "Three days, it won't be a big problem."

"Then it's settled. I'll still need your help when the time comes."

…

Three days was the time it took Gu Hang to distribute the equipment to those garrison divisions, spend the gift points, and train them to the T5 level.

This is necessary troop preparation.

At the same time, he also took advantage of this time to have an in-depth communication with Yelicia in the sky.

When Yelicia's holographic image appeared in front of him, he saw the blond female captain elegantly cutting a piece of steak with a glass of red wine at her hand.

The corners of Gu Hang's mouth twitched slightly.

These things are all the supplies he sent to the Quintet.

The 'Quintet' has its own synthetic starch production capacity, as well as military logistics supplies that were replenished before setting off for the mission on Raging Star. Even if no logistics were replenished during the two-year mission, it would not be hungry, just don't think about eating.

How good it must be.

They helped a lot, so Gu Hang had to show some respect.

When he was very poor before, Gu Hang would remember to replenish some consumer goods for the transport spaceship on the return trip after taking advantage of Ye Lixia. This was even more the case now.

Of course, the Quintet will not send out a special spaceship to transport logistical supplies. Otherwise, if they just transport some food, that little thing will not be able to cover the cost of one takeoff and landing of the transport spacecraft...

The last time the transport spaceship came, it was on business.

A group of battle nuns from the Lily of Mercy disembarked from the spacecraft, which was the support summoned by Mother Sister Grit. From the Sisters headquarters on Korokga 3, twenty battle nuns arrived at the Raging Owl.

Counting the two who were killed earlier, there are twenty-nine of them in total.

Gritte has come into conflict with the original Angry Owl Sect. They have completed an investigation into Fuxing City some time ago and have also caught some of the cultists who were hiding deeply.

Some time ago, all twenty-nine battle nuns had left Fuxing City, following the clues they had obtained, and headed north.

Gu Hang wished them good luck.

It would be the best thing if they could single-handedly solve the cult problem on Raging Owl. And if they needed help, Gu Hang would not be stingy.

To put it bluntly, they are doing work for themselves.

And the spaceship that transported twenty battle nuns also brought something that Commodore Yelicia valued most when it returned: a letter of commendation.

The letter of commendation was handwritten by Gu Hang, and the main content was that he, in the name of the Governor of the Raging Owl Star, thanked Brigadier General Yelicia for his outstanding contribution in fighting against and eliminating the followers of the evil god who did not worship the emperor, and the evil god's projection.

Of course, if this letter was just written by Gu Hang himself, it would not be of much use.

The letter of commendation from the planetary governor can indeed be used as a reference for military generals to obtain meritorious service after an operation. In other words, if Yelicia takes this letter of commendation and reports it, the imperial military will recognize it.

But the degree of recognition is not necessarily certain.

It goes without saying that for a strong governor, or even some forging generals in the forging world, a letter is enough for promotion; someone like Gu Hang... is not very popular, and the gold content is not enough.

But it would be different if this letter of commendation was accompanied by the signature and seal of a Space Marine Chapter Master and a Sister of the Order.

Gu Hang wasn't sure how valuable such a letter of commendation was, but at least looking at Ye Lixia's smiling face, he knew it should be good.

Of course, when the transport spacecraft returned that time, it was impossible to bring only a letter. Although the letter of commendation was the most important, the cabin could never be empty, so it would be better to transport some rare logistics supplies.

.

Just try to please this rich lady in heaven.

It included some red wine, which was taken from the homes of powerful people in Fuxing City. It was said to be a local craft product in the Qinggu area.

As for the steak, it comes from the bull beast. After Wei Xingcheng's truck production increased to almost two hundred units per month, the demand for animal power also dropped significantly.

Not only the large number of wild cattle used by merchants in Fuxing City's caravans have lost their use value, they have returned to livestock farms and are used to breed beef cattle and dairy cows.

And this is how the steak that Ye Lixia is eating now comes from.

"Ms. Brigadier General, you seem to be in a good mood."

"It's really not bad." Ye Lixia slowly swallowed the beef, took another sip of red wine, and commented: "However, the quality of your beef is not good, the meat is too rough; the taste of the red wine is also a bit inferior."

"You still picked it up."

"Just sighing." The waiter next to her took away the tableware, and Yelicia continued, "This has been the most difficult period of my life. In fact, I still thank you for sending these supplies, otherwise I would have brought them

Those collections won’t last more than two years.”

"..."

Gu Hang coughed twice, not wanting to talk any more about these corrupt lives with Ye Lixia, and turned to business: "I hope to get support from an orbital strike."

"What specifications?" Ye Lixia was still speaking slowly.

"With all your strength."

"What?" Yelicia was no longer calm now. "What kind of enemy are you going to encounter on the surface? Do you need me to launch a full-power orbital strike?"

"Greenskin."

Gu Hang spoke concisely and to the point, while Ye Lixia frowned deeply.

"Are they still those greenskins? Has there been any particularly major change?"

Yelicia asked this question because she had paid attention to the green-skinned threat on Raging Owl before. As the war progressed, a copy of the relevant information would be compiled every once in a while and sent to the starship.

.

She knew what was going on on the ground. That was why she had questions.

According to the latest situation she had seen before, the fight was relatively stalemate, but it was far from a serious incident.

Gu Hang coughed slightly and said: "We can't keep fighting a war of attrition with those green skins here. If we don't solve the problem completely, after a while, when these green skins grow again, we will have to face it again.

A war in which the scale will be larger and the enemy will become more difficult, we may not be able to win by then."

"I understand this, but... do you know how much it costs to fire the Quintet in full specification?"

Gu Hang didn't expect Ye Lixia to ask this question.

He was silent and waited for Yelicia to continue speaking. Obviously, this was not really a question to him, but a self-question and answer sentence.

Yelicia continued: "Last time you asked me to help with a precision strike, it was the least powerful and cheapest strike method on the 'Quintet': the 'Scalpel' ship-based missile. The price of such a missile is three

One hundred tax coins, a round of full-scale bombardment, is like hundreds of 'scalpels';"

"The next level up is the 'Hot Hammer' macro cannon. This is a small macro cannon. The price of one shell is four thousand tax coins, and there are twenty shells in one round."

"The highest level is the 'Wrath of the Loyal Si' macro cannon. The price of one cannon shell is 50,000 tax coins. I only have two on my ship."

"Do you know how expensive it is now?"
