Just when Soshiyang and the sages of Huangquan No. 8 ended their discussion on the Huangquan-class transformation plan, Soshiyang suddenly remembered something.
The Fire Claw Chapter. According to Bahram, the Chapter came into contact with the radical Inquisitor, which resulted in the subsequent judgment. The Atonement Expedition seemed to be related to an activity near Huangquan No. 8, so he asked the other party about the Fire Claw Chapter.
thing.
The sage was a little surprised that Soshiyang mentioned Fire Claw, but he still answered him.
The Fire Claw Chapter did indeed perform a mission near the Underworld VIII in 952.M41. At that time, a hulk suddenly left the warp and approached the system where the Forge World was located. The hulk was marked by the Empire as a Sin Catcher.
Immediately, the radical Inquisitor De Marche began to mobilize forces to destroy the hulk, and the Fire Claw Chapter also sent a company led by the Librarian to support it.
Underworld No. 8 did not directly participate in the operation, but only provided fleet support. When the hulk was destroyed later, they learned that there was a group of Chaos Space Marines inside. The leader was a Tzeentch Champion who believed in the Lord of Change, but this man seemed to be
The Think Tank Director of the Fire Claws, Decario, was killed, but the Inquisitor classified the contents of this operation as a secret, and the Adeptus Mechanicus did not inquire much about it, and they had no contact with the Fire Claws after that.
After hearing this, Soshyan had some questions about the Relic Chapter, but he just kept them in his heart.
Not long after the meeting between the two ended, Soshyan sent a notification letter to his favorite bidder, and a series of consultations and negotiations followed.
In the end, he used most of the captured Necron remains, equipment, and weapons to exchange for hundreds of thousands of combat soldiers and space fighters from the Mechanicus. These will become the supplementary force for future ground operations, as well as the Logon class
The main aircraft type carried by light aircraft carriers.
Of course, these all take time. The longest one takes five years, and the shortest one takes three years to be delivered one after another. It’s not that there is no production capacity, but after all, this is a deal that cannot be done openly. There are also Martian spies in each foundry world, so it has to be
They cover it up and then send it out under other names, which delays the time.
During this period, a Moon-class cruiser and two new-class frigates built in the Neisen No. 4 dock also completed all outfitting and sailing tests, and the crews were fully equipped, waiting to be named and commissioned.
Soshyan participated in the commissioning ceremony of three ships and named the Moon-class cruiser the Naisen Blade. In the future, all ships built in the Naisen system will be labeled with the galaxy name. He also appointed
The captain is a frigate captain who graduated from the Nathan Naval Academy and has served in the Astral Knights Chapter fleet for nineteen years. According to previous arrangements, this battleship will join the White Templar's combat sequence.
Among them, however, after the reform of the legion system, the legion's fleet will no longer be divided into battle groups, but will be divided into the Nessen Fleet and the Bracato Fleet, and when the battle company or combined battalion attacks, they will choose from them.
Ships form a task force, and when operating on a legion scale, two main fleets form a combined fleet.
Therefore, the Moon-class cruiser will join the Bracato fleet, but when it sets off, it will not only be its own ship, but also carry hundreds of teachers from the Naison Naval Academy and their families. Their mission is
Go to the Bracato system to assist the fleet there in establishing their own naval academy.
Now the Chapter, or Legion, has established its own naval talent training system, the core of which is the Naval Academy on Nessen IV. This academy was born out of the original Sailor Center and was officially established in the fifth year after Soshiyan returned to his home planet.
, he is the honorary principal, and occasionally he will appear on some important school anniversaries and festivals. Many captains who graduated from here will even call Soshyan the principal. This is also a special honor of the Naison Naval Academy.
But with the rapid expansion of the legion fleet, just one naval academy is definitely not enough, and Soshyan also needs to balance the proportion of personnel in the current legion navy. Almost all previous captains and senior naval officers came from Naisen
On the 4th, a group of outstanding naval captains were introduced from the maelstrom, but the number was not large enough, which also caused the rejection of the captain of Nathan 4th. During this period, there were various small frictions, but overall it was still manageable.
Within the scope of control, but things have to be solved, and the best way is to "dilute", so it is logical for Bracato to establish a new naval academy. This matter actually started to be planned four or five years ago.
, The construction of various facilities in the academy has only recently been completed, and the enrollment process has just begun. There is an urgent need for experienced retired captains and teachers to provide guidance. There are only a dozen retired captains in the White Temple, which is far from being able to meet the demand, so
It can only be adjusted from Nathan No. 4.
In fact, this situation is not limited to the navy, but also exists among the auxiliary forces of the current legions. Due to the establishment of a mortal legion that is far larger than the general auxiliary forces of the legion, Soshyan also had to establish an army academy on Naisen IV. This
Different from the Astra Militarum's Loyal College, the Naisen Army Academy recruits not only the orphans of loyal soldiers, but also the children of the Chapter's servants, outstanding civilian children, and children of nobles, etc. They are mainly the Chapter's auxiliary troops.
Source of officers.
At first, there were three army academies in Neisen IV, which were later expanded to six. However, Soshyan gradually discovered the problem. The proportion of civilian students in the academies was getting lower and lower, and the proportion of nobles and warband children was getting smaller and smaller.
Gao, because he didn't spend much time paying attention to the Army Academy, he never paid much attention to it. It was almost before the Maelstrom expedition that he felt that the situation was a bit serious. The reason for all this was the deep-rooted lineage theory in the empire.
It is emphasized that if a dragon begets a dragon or a phoenix begets a phoenix, the son of a mouse will definitely be able to dig holes, and the offspring of an officer must also be an officer. However, for the admissions of the Army Academy, examinations only account for a "part" proportion, and are introduced through letters of recommendation.
The proportion of students is actually larger.
Some "veteran families" who have served in the auxiliary forces of the Chapter for two or three generations have formed a close network of relationships with each other through marriage, firmly occupying a considerable proportion of the high-level ecology of the auxiliary forces, and have even begun to form a group to exclude those who are not members of the auxiliary forces.
An officer who was born as a servant of the battle group, and this caused a backlash from a series of officers who were born in Naisen No. 4. Although he knew that this was not good, Soshyan had to admit that these people were indeed more at ease than outsiders.
, after all, all aspects of them are highly bound to the legion.
After all, mortal affairs are often just personal agendas in the end.
In fact, Soshyan has already made a small round of personnel transfers in the auxiliary forces, knocking out those mortal officers who tried to seize power by relying on their ancestors' qualifications. As a remedy, in order not to block the promotion channels of outstanding talents, he also added non-commissioned officers.
Soshyan ordered the establishment of several non-commissioned officer schools to only recruit children of civilians. Although this could not bridge the gap that had been created, it could at least fill part of it.
In addition, a series of military academies have been established in the Bracato system, which has also diluted the influence of the "Naisen Department".
