Since the royal court had brought back the message in advance, when Soshyan returned to the Brakato system, the Archon Council had already made preliminary preparations.
All companies are ready to go, including the batch of recruits who have just served. At this time, the White Templar and the Astral Knights have 10 companies at full strength in principle, but in fact the entire army's strength is 1,461 plus the Astral Knights.
The 860 people who went to White Temple, and the subsequent 932 people from Nessen System and the 450 people from Bracato System (assisted by the White Temple Apothecary Association, mentioned in Chapter 2426), totaled 3703 people.
In other words, the current Eleventh Army has 37 companies. According to Soshyan's latest military reform plan, after leaving aside the Eleventh Company, there are 12 combined battalions.
This force is already very powerful in the empire. In the past, Huron relied on only three to four thousand Astartes to launch the Badab rebellion.
Because there is Ulanhuda and Wang Ting in the Brakato system, Soshyan does not intend to leave any defensive force. Basically all the troops are dispatched. This is equivalent to an opportunity to train new recruits. At the same time, Dupont
All the knights of the Delin family will also participate in this expedition. In addition, based on the situation of the already organized mortal troops in the galaxy, Soshyan decided to mobilize 40 regiments of Pashti squads and 200 regiments of Vashti squads.
A total of 2.5 million auxiliary troops.
It is also worth mentioning that there are 15 new armored regiments that are all equipped with Project 520, which is the Ulan Huda Soshyan main battle tank. In addition, other regiments are also equipped with new tanks at the battalion and company level.
Due to the relatively simple structure and manufacturing process, the output of Project 520 can be said to be extremely amazing. When Soshyan asked, he learned that Ulanhuda had built more than 60,000 such tanks, and the output was actually still
On the rise.
Therefore, a standard Soshyan Armored Regiment has 340 tanks, and its size has far exceeded the scale of the empire's normal armored regiments. For example, a standard Tara Armored Regiment of more than 4,000 people has generally 340 tanks.
About 180 vehicles, coupled with a certain number of self-propelled artillery and armored vehicles, as well as a small number of tank destroyers. In addition to 340 tanks, a standard Soshyan Armored Regiment is also equipped with self-propelled artillery battalions and reconnaissance battalions.
But there is no dedicated fighter battalion, because Soshyan believes that this kind of work is more suitable for the air force.
Of course, so many troops obviously require a large number of transport ships. Fortunately, Soshyan now has 10 Galaxy-class transport ships on hand. He also accumulated these giant transport ships from the Great Expedition era through many channels and a long time.
Some were sealed ships acquired from the Adeptus Mechanicus, and some were quietly transferred from the Empire to the chapter's name through some means during the Maelstrom Expedition.
In addition, Soshyan also has three Vientiane-class giant transport ships, which were commissioned by Sorge, who had established the Hong merchant dynasty in the maelstrom area.
This kind of ship is a large transport ship used by the Rogue Trader fleet. Sometimes the Imperial Navy also uses them as later supply transport ships. It is one of the largest non-military ships in the Imperial production line, with a length of more than 15KM and can carry 500,000
Passengers live in the void for a long time, or transport basic supplies that can meet the needs of a world. If long-term residence is not considered and only temporary personnel are loaded, it can even transport more than two million people at a time. Only the richest Rogue Traders can
Only the family can afford the time and resources required for the construction of these giant ships.
Originally, the role of these three ships was to establish a long-term and stable logistics line between the Nessen galaxy and the Bracato galaxy to allow the output and materials of the two galaxies to flow efficiently. This time, considering that a large number of people may be involved,
Evacuation operation, so Soshyan transferred one of them to join the expedition fleet.
As for the fleet that formed this expedition, it can be said to be unprecedentedly large. Because he had seen the scale of Tyran, Soshyan did not dare to take it lightly, and basically all came out. There were 27 capital ships alone, including——
Mars-class battlecruiser [Son of Mars] [Expedition Glory] [Triumph]
Oberon-class battleship [Abyss Hunter]
Battle Barge [Soulbringer] [Heart of Light] [Inscription]
Sacrifice-class battle barge [Storm]
Pluto-class heavy cruiser [Unbound Soul] [Invisible Terror]
Styx-class heavy cruiser [Snake King]
Dictator-class heavy cruiser [Spinel]
Avengers-class large cruiser [Eternal Loyalty]
Executioner-class large cruiser [Silver Redemption]
Among them, the Mars-class battlecruiser Triumph, the Tyrant-class cruiser Firespear, the Hammer of Light, and the Aegis were all handed over by Mars after the auction. I have to say that the Forging General's hands and feet are still very fast, and the delivery is very fast.
Quickly, we got the stuff within a year, and the Ruby and Cryolite were the two Rogun-class ships built and put into service in Ulan Huda later. Because of the previous experience, and the fact that this type of warship itself is simple and cheap
Characteristics, it can be manufactured relatively quickly and put into service quickly. The Styx-class Snake King is the first Cardinal-class ship modified by Huang Quan No. 8 for the Astral Knights. It can be transformed into a ship at such a fast speed. Sosh
Yang doubted whether there was actually a "hand over" Styx hidden in the Underworld No. 8, but in any case, they did manage to make one ship a year. It turned out that the Adeptus Mechanicus was like a sponge. If you squeeze it, there will always be something.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, the Abyss class has not actually been completely completed. It is only in Soshyan's combat plan, but will not be used in early battles. As far as the Furnace engineers are concerned,
According to the statement, it will take at least a year to ensure that each weapon system can operate safely and normally, and Soshyan will also have to judge when and where to invest the warship based on the development of the war situation, so the Abyss-class will not follow the fleet.
As for small ships, there are a total of 128, including 6 Viper-class guided missile destroyers, 5 of which were built in a hurry, and 26 new-class frigates. This number is naturally partly due to previous auctions.
Yes, some "off-the-shelf" Forge Worlds will be sent directly.
In addition, there are 6 Goliath-class foundry ships and 1 Goliath-class factory that will accompany the expedition fleet.
This fleet is already astonishingly large for the average Astartes battle group, but if Soshyan is willing to wait, wait for the remaining 2 Retaliation-class large cruisers and 2 Styx-class heavy cruisers in the auction.
In place, when the other 12 Cardinal-class ships are transformed into Huangquan-class ships, his fleet will be even larger.
It's a pity that the military situation is so fierce that he doesn't have time.
As for Ulanhuda, Soshyan did not ask for military support this time after taking into account the distance and the need for galaxy defense. However, he planned to bring Wan Bian Ji Si with him. On the one hand, he might be able to deal with Tai
An enemy of Lun's size can use it. On the one hand, it has not summoned the so-called Hope for so long, which makes it a bit uneasy to leave it in Brakato Soshyan without supervision.
With an order, the entire galaxy immediately started moving like a machine. It would naturally take some time to organize and mobilize so many people, materials and equipment. Taking advantage of this gap, Soshiyang returned to the royal court again, thinking
Let's see what new gains the druids have, and spend some time with Veronica, but this time he got an unexpected surprise.
This unexpected surprise came from the reconnaissance team sent to the Taiping Star Territory to investigate the lost Blackstone Fortress. They did find the Blackstone Fortress, and during the investigation, they discovered something interesting...
