Chapter 330 You Suffered [Please Pre-order All Pre-orders] (Ch 330)

“Is there a record of how many starships of the Holy See Empire we destroyed in this battle?” Sun He asked.
Qiao Rongrong pointed to a list in the electronic report: “Here is a record of the enemy’s starship losses calculated in this battle.
Among them, the Grahide Paladin fleet was completely wiped out, and another 87 standard legion fleets were completely wiped out.
In addition, the loss rate of Cardinal Sandra’s fleet reached 35%, among which the loss rate of all interstellar fighters and drone groups carried by aircraft carriers and starships exceeded 70%; the loss rate of Arthur’s Paladin fleet reached 43%.
The Holy See Empire’s expeditionary fleet had a total loss rate of 67% of its 100,000 starships. ”
Sun He took a look at the number and was a little surprised: “67%, that means that the cardinal only brought back more than 30,000 starships.
According to rumors in the Cygnus Star Kingdom, isn’t it said that nearly 50,000 starships have returned to port?”
Secretary Qiao Rongrong explained: “According to the intelligence we have learned, before the Holy See Empire expeditionary fleet returned to port, a group of starships from the Cygnus Interstellar Kingdom left port, so…”
“Just to fill in the gaps?” Sun He almost laughed out loud.
Cardinal Sandra actually did such a thing just to save his own face.
Use this method to conceal the actual losses of their fleet as much as possible.
After all, although outsiders can see their starships returning to the port, it is impossible to see them one by one. In addition, this expedition fleet itself has a vassal fleet, so they all return to the port at the same time.
It is difficult for most people to distinguish the real from the fake.
This resulted in the Holy See Empire’s expeditionary fleet returning to the Cygnus Interstellar Kingdom having about 40,000 to 50,000 starships.
“Don’t worry about them. Let them swallow their anger.” Sun He waved his hand indifferently.
He continued to look at the losses suffered by the Holy See Empire’s expeditionary fleet in this battle.
91 T4 starships were lost, accounting for nearly 40% of the Holy See’s expeditionary fleet. Some of them were dragged back in tatters, severely damaged, and had to return to the Empire’s top starship factory for overhaul.
1,600 T3 starships were lost, accounting for about 60% of the total number of T3 starships. After all, the Qingyuan Legion was most closely targeting the T3 starships of the Holy See Empire.
What remains is the loss of T2 and T1 starships. However, these losses are just a string of numbers in the eyes of the Holy See Empire. Not only T1, but even T2 starships are just cannon fodder in their eyes.
Only the loss of T3 and T4 starships can make old interstellar forces like the Holy See Empire feel the pain.
Of course, the huge loss of T3 starships in this battle, and the first loss of T4 starships, are extremely distressing to the Holy See Empire.
The fall of the T4 starship, even if calculated based on the construction cost, is estimated to have resulted in a loss of nearly 5 billion units of crystal ore!
Taking into account starships of other levels, the loss of starships alone in this battle brought direct war losses of 20 billion units of crystal ore to the Holy See Empire!
And the casualties of 30 million Holy See Empire Space Marines!
Behind this series of events, this battle caused the Holy See Empire to lose no less than 60 billion units of crystal ore.
Although this series of losses may be less than 10% of the Holy See Empire’s total annual revenue.
However, this can be regarded as the battle with the worst loss ratio between the enemy and our side in the history of the Holy See Empire’s external interstellar wars!
Compared with the huge losses of the Holy See Empire’s expeditionary fleet, the losses of the Qingyuan Legion itself were not that great.
Even though the Qingyuan Legion was actually fighting on two fronts, on the other side it was facing the 50,000 starships of the Grom Orc Empire’s expeditionary fleet. It almost wiped out those Grom Orc Empire’s starships and killed its supreme commander, Prince Rexxar III.
Sun He moved his gaze to the Qingyuan Legion’s own battle damage report.
From the First Fleet to the Eighth Fleet, there are even battle damage reports for the T4 Kunpeng-class Starport No. 1 that participated in the battle.
First was the First Fleet that engaged Cardinal Sandra’s fleet, with a final casualty rate of 11%.
Because both sides were using T3 starships, although the fighting was very fierce and lasted for quite a while, the actual casualty rate was not very high.
Cardinal Sandra’s fleet was only 35%, which corresponded exactly to the three-to-one starship damage comparison data mentioned earlier.
The second battlefield was the highlight of this battle, where the Third Fleet and the Sixth Fleet of the Glahead Paladin Fleet were completely annihilated.
Although it was the T4 Nirvana starship’s killer weapon that completely wiped out the Grahide Paladin Fleet, the Third Fleet and the Sixth Fleet also did a lot in this battle.
The Third Fleet’s loss rate was 11%, while the Sixth Fleet’s was 25%.
In addition, the third battlefield, which has the largest number of starships, is a blocking battle in which the Second Fleet and the Fifth Fleet intercepted the main fleet of the Holy See Empire Expeditionary Fleet.
In this blocking battle, the T5 Hell’s Angel starship was present, so the situation of the Second Fleet and the Fifth Fleet was not too bad.
The Second Fleet had a combat loss rate of 14%, making it the fleet with the heaviest losses among the four fleets that had completed the deployment of all T3 starships and upgraded to enhanced legion-level fleets in this major battle.
The Fifth Fleet’s combat loss rate was 31%, which meant it suffered the most starship losses among the eight fleets of the Qingyuan Legion in this battle.
As for why the two fleets suffered such heavy losses, it was naturally because the two fleets had to face 80,000 starships!
Although the quality is not high, the quantity is still quite terrifying.
If it weren’t for the T5 Hell’s Angels starship raid, the final losses would be unimaginable.
In addition to these seven fleets, there is of course the Eighth Fleet that is far away in the Blood Raven Galaxy Cluster fighting against the Grom Orc Empire Expeditionary Fleet!
The Eighth Fleet’s casualty rate was only 5%, making it the fleet with the lowest casualty rate in this battle.
Some people may say that the Eighth Fleet’s mission this time is an easy one, and the opponents it faces with other fleets are not at the same level at all.
Of course, these may be part of the reason.
But you have to know that the Eighth Fleet has only 300 T3 starships, while the Grom Orc Empire expeditionary fleet it has to face has tens of thousands of starships.
If it weren’t for the proper command of Commander Ning Qian, even if the operation was successful and the battle was won, the final casualty rate would not have been so low!
There is also a battle report on the T4 Kunpeng-class starport. The starport itself did not suffer any damage, but the strategic materials were almost exhausted, and the losses of the drone swarm were also relatively large.
Finally, we may have to talk about the 5,000 requisitioned T2 Lord starships. The overall combat loss rate reached 40%, with the loss of nearly 2,000 T2 starships, and some others were damaged to varying degrees.
Although the loss of these two thousand T2 starships has to be borne by the Qingyuan Legion, it is still insignificant compared to the role these starships play.
And at that time, the worst that can happen is that the Qingyuan Legion’s starship factory will be built and returned to those lords.
In addition, the Qingyuan Corps will also give a certain amount of pension to the female soldiers serving on these starships. Of course, it is not according to the standards of Qingyuan female soldiers, although no Qingyuan female soldiers have truly sacrificed their lives so far.
Those nominally paid pensions were actually “rehabilitation funds”, a kind of reward and encouragement for the heroic performance of the Qingyuan female soldiers who “died in battle”.
The pensions for these female lord soldiers are paid according to the highest standards in the Milky Way galaxy.
Despite this, the total pension for 600,000 female interstellar soldiers is less than 10 million units of crystal ore.
In order to prevent these pensions from falling into the pockets of their lords, the Qingyuan Legion had long ago obtained and recorded a copy of the “wills” of the female soldiers of the lords who signed up for the war, which detailed to whom the pensions would be given if they died.
The Qingyuan Legion has guaranteed that every pension will be delivered to the designated person.
Such behavior may cost a lot of energy and financial resources, but to some extent, it also enhances the reputation value of the Qingyuan Legion.
At the same time, it will make the Qingyuan female soldiers feel more of a sense of belonging. You see, our commander treats other lords’ female soldiers in this way, so what else can he say to us?
Let’s get back to the topic.
Sun He looked at the overall combat loss data of the last Qingyuan Legion.
The overall combat loss rate was 16%, which means that nearly one-sixth of the combat starships were lost.
This battle can be regarded as the one with the heaviest losses for the Qingyuan Legion so far, but compared with the results, the losses are still acceptable.
There were also detailed records of the lost starships, and Sun He continued reading.
No T4 starships were lost, and 2 T4 Titan-class heavy interstellar frigates were severely damaged and needed to be returned to the factory for overhaul. Another 13 T4 starships suffered partial damage to their hull armor, which was not too serious.
320 T3 starships were lost and 350 T2 starships were lost.
179 T3 starships and 166 T2 starships were severely damaged; as for other damaged ships, basically after this battle, except for the two types of ships, aircraft carrier starships and interstellar missile ships, other types of ships all suffered some degree of damage.
The total loss was 670 starships and more than 60,000 personnel were killed.
After reading these numbers, Sun He’s expression was still somewhat solemn.
Although he had already prepared himself for heavy losses in this battle, when he actually watched it to the end and saw this number in front of him.
My chest still feels a little uncomfortable, as if a huge rock is pressing down on it.
It made him feel like he couldn’t breathe.
“Commander, this loss is already quite good considering the scale of the current battle. Compared with the Holy See Empire’s expeditionary fleet, the loss ratio is an astonishing 100 to 1!
If this gets out, the interstellar forces in the entire known universe will probably be shocked!”
Secretary Qiao Rongrong saw the psychological fluctuations of Commander Sun He, and she comforted him: “The life gene signals of the 60,000 sisters who were ‘killed’ this time have all been collected correctly.
There are no problems except that the ‘printing’ time may be a little long. ”
This time we have to “print” 60,000 female interstellar soldiers, and the workload is indeed quite huge.
According to the efficiency of the T5 bioprinter, even if three T5 bioprinters work 24 hours a day, it will take at least three months to complete the digestion.
We need to increase the number of T5 bioprinters.
This idea became one of Sun He’s next construction plans.
“Arrange these things.” Sun He said, and then continued to look at the battle report.
In this battle, basically all important strategic resources, such as the Flare missiles of the T3 Destruction Flare-class heavy interstellar missile ship, were exhausted.
Before the battle, Xuanwu Star City worked overtime to produce nearly 7 million magnetic storm missiles, worth more than 1 billion units of crystal ore, and all of them were used up!
It is also because of these interstellar missiles that the Qingyuan Legion suffered such a considerable number of starship losses.
And the consumption of interstellar missiles is not counted.
The fall of the T3 and T2 starships alone was equivalent to the Qingyuan Legion losing six or seven hundred million unit crystal mines.
This is thanks to the fact that these starships were built by the Qingyuan Legion itself. If they were purchased, the price would be at least hundreds of billions!
Since these are previous construction investments, you don’t have to worry about them for now.
However, there are some costs in the process of this battle, as well as the subsequent part of “paying for” this battle, such as the replenishment and replacement of energy stones used as starship fuel, and the repair of damaged starships.
Supply work for some starships’ interstellar fighters and drones.
In addition, there is the funds needed for the “printing” of the sacrificed female soldiers.
These are all considerable numbers.
“Rongrong, how much expenditure will we need for this battle?” Sun He did not see this number on the battle report, so he could only ask his secretary directly.
Secretary Qiao Rongrong had already calculated this number.
The biggest expense is naturally the “printing” of female soldiers, which requires 600 million units of crystal ore, and the repair and supply of starships, which requires 500 million units of crystal ore; as well as other miscellaneous expenses.
The number is roughly around 1.5 billion units of crystal ore.
Fortunately, at the end of March, the Qingyuan Legion still had 2 billion units of crystal ore reserve funds and raw materials in its account, which was enough to handle the follow-up matters of this battle.
“In this way, we have finally overcome this difficulty.” Sun He let out a long sigh, leaned back on the sofa and raised his hand. The female soldier next to the sofa immediately understood what he meant and pressed a button, and the sofa backrest was lowered.
What was originally a sofa turned into a large bed.
Commander Sun He naturally lay down on the bed, with his eyes closed, looking like he was enjoying the rest.
The female soldier took off her high heels with some anticipation, revealing her long black S-shaped legs.
That’s right, high heels!
These female soldiers all wear high heels. Of course, they also have special combat boots, but for positions like the one on the bridge, high heels are generally worn.
Just as the female soldier was about to climb onto the bed, she was stopped by secretary Qiao Rongrong.
The female soldier had no choice but to give up and stood aside looking a little disappointed.
Secretary Qiao Rongrong had taken off her high heels, knelt on the bed, and carefully placed Commander Sun He’s head on her knees, gently pressing his temple.
“Are you satisfied with the strength?”
…
Secretary Qiao Rongrong looked at the commander’s relaxed sleeping face and his steady breathing.
She then realized that the commander had fallen asleep.
The commander had consumed a lot of his energy during this period of time because of this battle, and he had hardly any rest.
Secretary Qiao Rongrong raised her head and looked at her adjutant, signaling him with her eyes.
Many secretaries from the secretarial department immediately and carefully walked to various posts on the bridge and asked all the female soldiers to work as quietly as possible.
At the same time, the lights on the entire bridge dimmed.
The entire bridge was rarely seen in a very quiet atmosphere. There were even female soldiers standing guard outside the bridge gate, reminding the female soldiers going to the bridge to be quiet and to put it aside for the time being if it was not an important matter.
The female Qingyuan soldiers on the bridge, looking at the commander’s sleeping face under the dim light, felt a warm feeling in their hearts.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Qiao Rongrong said softly.
