Chapter 1,084: Military Reform of the Confederacy of Independent Systems (Part 1)
1084, Independent System Confederacy Military Reform (Part 1)
Some are happy and some are sad. After three days of discussion, on July 22, 21 BBY, following the conference held on the planet Geonosis on May 21, 22 BBY to announce the establishment of the Confederation, the Confederation of Independent Systems The second summit finally came to an end.
During this period of time, both the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems, and even the entire galaxy, have undergone earth-shaking changes.
During this summit, Count Dooku's determination even surprised Tang Xiao. In his expectation, Count Dooku should have been a little wavering, after all, the pressure that Darth Sidious had imposed on him The influence is really profound.
But now, Count Dooku seems to be preparing to take a dark road.
This forced Tang Xiao to speculate again on some of his possible plans or even conspiracies behind the scenes.
Count Dooku carried out a large-scale reform very resolutely, and according to the plan, he pushed out the commercial guilds as cannon fodder. And in this reform, if I use a more straightforward description to express it, it is - using power Exchange money.
During this reform, Count Dooku began to purposefully gradually strengthen the executive power of the Core Council of the Confederation of Independent Systems, but he also required corporate giants including the Interstellar Banking Association and the Trade Federation to give up some of their own interests.
In other words, it began to transform from a purely commercial organization to a state-owned organization.
Of course, this is also a long-term plan and cannot be accomplished overnight.
In this reform, the first step is to announce the abolition of the private fleets of major companies. Except for the necessary escort fleets, all other large offensive warships must be assigned to the Navy of the Independent System Confederation, and the Independent System Confederation will also provide Certain financial compensation.
Then there is the finalization of naval warships and centralized procurement.
The naval warship models of the Confederation of Independent Systems have also been finalized. Based on this finalization, many orders for warships that cannot be reused in the war will be cancelled, including Higra-class battlecruisers, Kangai-class frigates, and Defiant-class light destroyers. , Rookery Hook-class battleships and other spacecraft will be discontinued.
Moreover, the new warships selected are all models that can be put into mass production immediately, making it easy to start production immediately.
Flagship: Conqueror-class battleship, Infinity-class super aircraft carrier.
Main battleships: Behemoth-class battlecruiser, Shenyi-class destroyer (special gunnery type), Martha-class heavy missile cruiser.
Support ships: Armageddon-class battlecruiser, Divine-class destroyer (electronic warfare special type).
Landing ships: C-9979 landing ship, Diamond-class transport cruiser, and the Kesov-class orbital assault landing ship that was officially renamed after modification.
Small and medium-sized battleships: Enforcer-class heavy destroyer, Guard-class light anti-aircraft destroyer, Xingzi-class maintenance drone carrier, Blue Sky-class command cruiser.
In this naval construction plan, the Interstellar Banking Association's Behemoth-class battlecruisers, the Trade Alliance's Endless-class super aircraft carriers and the Divine Will-class destroyers have received a large number of orders, and the Fourth Group cooperates with these two to share the profits.
.
Surprisingly, the warships submitted by the salarians were widely favored. Military experts from the Confederacy of Independent Systems believed that the salarians’ warships were even an era ahead of all existing warships! Therefore, they obtained the Doomsday Arena-class battlecruiser and
The order for the Enforcer-class heavy destroyer suddenly emerged and became a high-tech race that attracted everyone's attention.
Dawn Planet became the biggest winner, with Masha-class heavy missile cruisers, Kesov-class orbital assault landing ships, Guard-class light air defense destroyers, Xingzi-class maintenance drone carriers, Blue Sky-class command cruisers, and Viking fighter jets.
The Gray Horse-class escort aircraft carriers are their products on the surface. In fact, if you include the Fourth Group and the Salarians, the Fourth Civilization actually accounts for at least half of the naval orders of the Confederation of Independent Systems.
The Navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems did not take a fancy to the Ghost fighter aircraft. This kind of fighter aircraft has begun to lag behind, and they have a large number of robot fighters. In fact, they have no shortage of superior fighters. On the contrary, they have strong air combat capabilities and can also defeat the enemy.
The Viking fighters, which can deliver effective strikes against large warships, are favored. They believe that the powerful firepower of the Viking fighters can just make up for the current situation where the robot fighters are flexible and lack firepower.
The Gray Horse class was ordered as an unexpected surprise. This cheap escort aircraft carrier is considered by Confederate military experts to be a very suitable escort spacecraft. It can cooperate with the Guard-class light anti-aircraft destroyer and carry enough Vulture robot fighters and Coyotes.
Robot bombers can perform almost all escort missions.
And, very cheap!
In this way, if you include the Behemoth-class and Endless-class who secretly cooperate, it is equivalent to the Fourth Civilization having monopolized most of the independent galaxy confederation navy!
As for the Technology Alliance, they don’t have to worry about it for the time being. After all, the manufacturing of robot fighters and combat robots is also their main business. Moreover, the large number of factories and interstellar shipyards under the Technology Alliance are also the main force in manufacturing these warships, but they need to be based on the current new
needs to modernize their factories and shipyards.
The Enterprise Alliance still got some scraps, and the manufacture of the Diamond-class transport cruiser was handed over to them. In fact, the Diamond-class transport cruiser was a product of the Merchant Guild, but after Shu-Mai's tit-for-tat confrontation with Count Dooku at the summit, it was obvious that the Merchant Guild
You will also lose this only opportunity.
Although the Diamond-class transport cruiser is simple and efficient, it is not an advanced warship after all. It is just a very useful multi-functional landing ship, built for everyone.
In addition, the enterprise alliance also has many robot factories, but orders in this area can also make up a lot of income.
After the naval warship models were finalized, all factories under the Confederation of Independent Systems, including the largest shipbuilding dock Port Parment, began to adjust to produce all the parts needed for these warships. The order was issued by the Confederation of Independent Systems, and
A new department was established to centrally plan the manufacture of battleships.
Then, the Dawn Planet, Salarian and the Fourth Group received some preferential treatment, because although their mass-produced Cole-class battlecruisers and Sova-class aircraft carriers were not favored by the Confederation of Independent Systems, the Confederacy's military experts also
It is also believed that although these battleships have begun to become outdated, they can still cause an effective blow to the Republic fleet on the battlefield.
So they were allowed to keep the Cole and Sova classes, and then slowly transform them.
