158, Assemble the Fleet (Part 2)
Qi Jian added: "The entire navy of the Fourth Civilization now has a personnel strength of 3,000 people. In addition, there are 5,000 reserve personnel who can step onto the battlefield at any time after training. Manager, tell us the goal this time!"
Tang Xiao nodded, but did not speak. He just looked at the holographic projections of these battleships and took a deep breath.
Among these spacecraft, the Hammerhead-class cruiser has an approved crew of 300 people, and can also carry 400 Marines. The Cobalt Alloy-class heavy frigate has an approved crew of 75 people; the Revenge-class light destroyer has an approved crew of 40 people; the Hammer-class light destroyer has an approved crew of 40 people.
The frigate pilot only needs 3 people.
So the Fourth Civilization has been busy for so long. Up and down, the total number of people in the entire navy is not enough to be on a battleship of the Galactic Republic. Oh no, not even a heavy cruiser.
The size... Tang Xiao sighed, this thing can't be rushed.
It is expected that in 5 to 10 years, the fourth civilization will usher in the climax of the first wave of demographic dividend, mainly because at that time, the frozen embryos that are now being cultivated will basically be adults.
And the war will start at that time.
Therefore, that war was also a war that the Fourth Civilization could not afford to lose!
For the sake of the future war, we must make good use of the current battle on the planet Marastal. This will be a rare opportunity for military training.
Tang Xiao spoke slowly: "This time we will go to the planet Marastal and serve as a mercenary army. I will not tell you the enemy of this battle for the time being. In addition, we will follow the instructions of a mercenary commander.
"
Qi Jian frowned and asked: "Manager, do we have to listen to the orders of an outsider?"
"Yes, because we are a mercenary army and it is natural to use money to do things. But don't worry, I know that commander. He is among the top fleet commanders I know." Tang Xiao replied, "
So, this time, our entire army is dispatched! All spaceships, not even one left, are dispatched!"
"Everyone is dispatched?" Qi Jian was shocked.
"Yes, I will also go out with the fleet, but I will only supervise the battle on site. Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Civilization Navy, Igor Zavalov, you will serve as fleet commander." Tang Xiao said to the bearded man beside him.
"Yes!" The bearded commander was taciturn and just stood at attention and saluted.
"Karls Wharton, you serve as deputy commander of the fleet and assist Zavalov's command." Tang Xiao continued the appointment.
"yes!"
"Volgograd-Kanidi, your Hammerhead-class cruiser Iron Fang is not in our fleet sequence. You need to act alone."
"That...manager..."
Tang Xiao turned to Qi Jian and said: "Qi Jian, although I understand that you also want to participate in this battle, the Glory mothership needs your presence." Tang Xiao said.
Qi Jian frowned and said: "Manager, I personally don't care. But...is it too much to send all our spaceships this time...The Endor galaxy is our foundation, and we need to leave at least some large battleships to defend it.
ah!"
"This fleet does not carry many aircraft and can only take away about 40 Phantom fighters. Therefore, there are still 60 Phantom fighters available on the Glory mothership, which should be enough for defense," Tang Xiao said.
.
"But even a ghost fighter needs the support of a large battleship to successfully carry out operations! Do we have to let the Glory mothership rush up to deal with the enemy's warships this time? There are more than 500,000 hibernating people on the mothership.
Residents, and countless frozen embryos!" Qi Jian argued.
"Regarding this, I have other arrangements. All you need is to organize the defense of the Glory mothership. When the time is right, I will tell you the battle plan. This time, we are attacking with the whole army. This is
It's been confirmed, it's an order." Tang Xiao said.
"Yes!" Qi Jian could only salute and accepted the arrangement.
"Manager...could it be that this time..." Volgograd-Kanidi finally realized that something was wrong and asked quickly while Tang Xiao had just finished speaking.
"That's right, become a mercenary and prepare for war."
"Start the war..." Canidi's feet softened and he almost sat on the ground, "No... Manager, didn't you agree..."
Tang Xiao glanced at him and said, "Yes, we are not going to be pirates this time."
"Our fleet is in full attack. This is worse than being a pirate!" Canidi was about to cry without tears.
"Don't worry, we will definitely win this battle!" Tang Xiao replied firmly.
…
This fleet contains a total of 72 spacecraft, including 1 Hammerhead-class cruiser, 6 Revenge-class light destroyers, 5 Cobalt-class heavy frigates, and 60 Hammer-class light frigates.
In terms of carrier-based aircraft, the Hammerhead-class cruiser can carry 18 Phantom fighters, and the Revenge-class light destroyer can carry 4 Phantom fighters, so there are 42 Phantom fighters in total.
This is currently all the power that the Fourth Civilization can use for expeditions.
When these spaceships were lined up in a neat queue outside the hangar of the Glory mothership, they looked extremely majestic. Although this fleet cannot be compared with the regular army, it must be emphasized that it is the only regular fleet in the entire galaxy.
, only the Justice Fleet of the Galactic Republic, and the Hutt fleet.
The independent fleets of other planets, as well as some gangs and organizations' own fleets, rarely have such a scale.
Because the Galactic Republic has basically weakened its domestic force since the reform of Rusan. But weakening its own force does not mean that they will sit back and ignore the military expansion of those organizations and companies.
In fact, the Galactic Republic prohibits all companies and organizations from owning large-scale fleets. As long as such signs are discovered, the result will definitely be extreme punishment.
In addition, there are only a handful of companies in the galaxy that can build large warships. Quart Power Shipyard and Rendili Interstellar Engineering Company are the two largest shipbuilding companies, but they only accept official orders.
Although Corellian Engineering Company has a wide range of business, they currently do not have a large warship business, and even if they have the ability to build it, they will not build it.
The only exception is the Interstellar Banking Association. Because they can be said to be the economic lifeline and treasury of the entire galaxy, they are chartered to own large battleships, namely the Generosity-class communication frigates. However, the Galactic Republic also restricts the use of the Generosity-class frigates, allowing such
Large battleships cannot have more than 5 ships in the same sector at the same time.
In this era when the entire galaxy has not yet been armed for war, this fleet of 72 spaceships may seem shabby, but it is really powerful!
"Assemble the fleet and prepare to set off!" Tang Xiao stood on the bridge of the Glory mothership and gave the order to set off with a wave of his hand!
