After giving specific instructions to the personnel in the chapter armory and the monastery, Soshyan stood up from the throne, and everyone's eyes were locked on him.
"1,240 people (the number after excluding the crimson sabers), before you know it, the battle group already has 1,240 people. Even if you don't count the soldiers of the 11th company, the battle group has exceeded the holy scripture establishment of 1,000 people."
Soshyan took two steps and pointed his right hand behind his back.
"...Sixty years ago, when I took over this flag, when I knew we were a legion, there were only thirty-three fighting brothers beside me. Sixty years, both short and long, are
The lifespan of a mortal is also the time for Astartes to grow from immaturity to maturity. But now we cannot be proud and complacent, let alone think of ourselves as a legion. Although we have many more friends, we also have more enemies, a thousand
Many battle brothers may cease to exist in just one disaster like the World Engine. We are still very fragile, so we must cherish every battle brother. All company commanders and non-commissioned officers must remember,
Cherish every fighting brother."
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Soshyan immediately moved his gaze to Fourth Company Commander Lothar.
"Captain Lothar, what is the current status of the fleet of the Chapter?"
Lothar, who has always been very low-key, walked out of the queue and replied:
"Excluding the Avesta, the flagship of the legion, the current legion has a total of 13 capital ships, including the Mars-class battlecruiser [Son of Mars] and [Expedition Glory], the Oberon-class battleship [Hunter of the Abyss], and the Pluto-class heavy
USS] [Pandora] [USS Saber], moon-class cruisers [USS Prodigal] [USS] [Danger Hunter], and 24 small destroyers and frigates, and the 13 warships in Ulan Huda have been completed and are waiting for delivery.
, there are 3 capital ships, including 1 Dictator-class heavy cruiser, 2 Moon-class cruisers, 5 small warships completed by Zhao Akada are also waiting for delivery, and there is 1 Naisen IV in the dock.
A Moon-class ship and two frigates are about to be completed. In addition, the Chapter has also obtained 6 Goliath-class foundry ships and 2 Goliath-class factory ships from Mars. If we count the total number, then the Chapter should now have a capital ship.
17 ships, 41 small ships, 8 auxiliary ships, oh, this does not include Reza’s 3 Sacrifice-class combat barges under construction.”
"How about a crew gap?"
"At least 3.5 million sailors and 200,000 basic technical personnel are now needed to ensure the combat readiness of all ships and subsequent ships."
Soshyan nodded.
"The crew will be recruited from Naisen No. 5. As for the low-level technicians, I will communicate with various forging worlds. In addition, I will personally deliver the Ulan Huda fleet, but Zhao Akada may need you to make a trip.
Let’s go.”
"yes."
After confirming the situation of the fleet, Soshyan glanced at everyone.
"Now that the Storm Star Territory is in constant turmoil, the Astral Knights, as the Astartes Chapter, are naturally obliged to protect the territory of the Empire. Griffin IV has sent us a message for help."
With that said, Soshyan looked at Zaraton.
"Captain Zaraton, please lead the Saber Company to provide support. The strike cruiser Saber will serve as your company's operational base and will be placed under your command."
This is not because Soshyan has planned to throw away these "ungrateful" crimson sabers, but because they have always insisted on training recruits by themselves, and it is difficult to keep up with the regiment's recruit training plan, and they very much need the company to go out and fight on their own.
Train new recruits.
After hearing Soshyan's arrangement, Zaraton walked out of the queue, clenched his fists on his chest and lowered his head.
"As commanded."
"Well, if you need any equipment, just go to Forgemaster Rogris directly. What you have to deal with are gene stealers. Griffin IV itself has a strong military power. The task is not difficult. What the company has to do
It is to help them eliminate the enemy's leader. I think you should know how to deploy it based on your experience. I will let the representative of Griffin 4 discuss the specific situation with you in detail."
Then Soshyan looked at Oscar.
"Fifth company commander, Zhao Akada also needs the power to help them clean up the rampant alien threats. The fifth company has just been formed, and it needs more battles to run in. Your company will use the Pandora to carry out the mission. After the meeting, the meeting will be over.
Representatives of Zhao Akada will come to you. This is a world that has a high degree of cooperation with the war group. Try to listen to their opinions as much as possible. Of course, the priority is to clean up the aliens and ensure that the soldiers get enough training, as well as reduce personnel losses.
"
Oscar walked out of the queue and responded in a deep voice:
"As you command!"
Finally Soshyan looked at Murad.
"Seventh company commander, your company also needs to conduct actual combat training. The Nicomedia system is the closest star system to the Nessian system. We must take precautions. Two hives there have also reported genestealer disturbances.
and cult riots. After the company is formed, you will lead the team to carry out the suppression mission. The Spark will be your base of operations. I have had remote talks with the local planetary governor representatives. They will fully cooperate with you. The operation is in progress.
We must focus on the key points as much as possible and do not waste troops. Non-critical tasks can be handed over to the local garrison. Again, ensure that the soldiers receive adequate training and minimize personnel losses."
"As you command!"
"Although other companies have no missions for the time being, they cannot relax. Messages for help are still coming in continuously. Each company may have to go out to perform missions at any time. Everyone must maintain combat readiness at all times!"
"As you command!"
Then Soshyan looked at Bahram.
"Bahram, you have to start the training work of the 10th Company as soon as possible, otherwise the training pressure will be very high for new recruits to join you. There are some death worlds with harsh environments in the Nessen galaxy that can be used as the first step for recruits to adapt to the harsh environment.
Regarding sexual training, you must make a training plan and give it to me before 12 noon tomorrow."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, Chapter Leader."
After completing the company's field deployment, Soshiyang said to all the company commanders in a serious voice:
"I can tell you in advance that in the future I plan to reform the battle group structure, especially the company structure, mainly to increase the standard number of company members to 150 people. At the same time, I will no longer implement the sacred rules of company specialization. Except for the first company,
Each company will have its own terminator squad, and there will be at least two squads. At the same time, the number of assault squads in the company will be increased to three, and the number of heavy weapons squads will also be increased to three. The fundamental goal is to increase the company's
Tactical flexibility and independent combat capabilities, as well as the ability to train company commanders, so my requirements for company commanders will become higher, because you are now company commanders, and in the future you may be commanders of the legion. When the legion is rejuvenated,
Before the dawn, we urgently need to have more courageous, tenacious and commanding leadership. Similarly, the White Templar will also carry out similar reforms. After a while, I will convene a meeting of legion centurions, including all members of the White Templar.
The centurion will also participate in the meeting, and if everyone has any good ideas, they can speak freely."
After talking about his future plans, Soshyan summoned all the warriors and recruits of the battle group and conducted a simple company flag awarding ceremony and company commander appointment ceremony in the reception hall. After all, the formality was at least necessary.
However, what surprised and puzzled many people was that when awarding the banner to Bahram, Soshyan actually gave the other party a very special weapon - it was given by the Great Sorian Alliance as a thank you after the expedition.
Soshyan gave him a plasma dagger made according to his physique as a gift. However, Soshyan felt that he had no use for it, and he was not used to using short weapons, so he simply gave it to Bahram.
This length is just right in the opponent's hand.
This weapon also has a very interesting name, the Broken Horn Star.
Although this is a random move, it is very special in the eyes of some people, because this thing does not come from the armory, but from Soshyan's personal arsenal, and the chapter has received personal equipment directly donated by Soshyan.
Currently, only Ustad holds this honor - the armor he wears is the same armor that Soshyan wore when he first became Chapter Master.
This may represent some kind of signal. At least Robin's look at Bahram became more interesting, while Oscar's gaze became deeper——
