1534. Grand Duke of Dawn (11) [Company Chapter, Army Chapter]

Let's talk about it first. I really didn't expect anyone to say that I was in trouble recently... To be honest, I didn't plan to start writing an introduction to the current Fourth Civilization force so soon. You have to look at the current development of the force. Okay, now that I have written it, you are calling me hydrology, and saying that these introductions can be written in one or two chapters... Please, can these things be written in one or two chapters? That is unless I give you a table directly - Eriadu: Transportation hub, fortress galaxy. Hoth Planet: Cultural center, population gathering place. Umbrella: Biotechnology. Tyran Heavy Industries: "StarCraft" technology. Hiigaran Aerospace: "Homeworld" technology. When it's over, you'll be satisfied with what I wrote like this, right?

Just condense what I have written in the past few days into 4,000 words and then read it again to see if you can read it. Next, there is an introduction to technology, warships, and equipment. Anyway, they are all condensed into these 4,000 words. An entry can have up to a few dozen words, and even one more word will not work. Then you can see the effect.

My original intention is to summarize these introductory things, introduce them once and make them clear, and I won't go into details after that. In the future, when the plot is written about these companies and planets, if you forget, you can just go back and read these chapters. After all, it is a long story with many nouns and data. If you come here every two days, it is called hydrology. Then you have to summarize every day, so I write it down, but you think it's too much. So what should I write? Isn't it good to continue pushing the plot? Das-Krayt was originally going to appear, but I postponed writing this summary. As a result, I was scolded again after I wrote it.

So should I write or not?

Forget it, I will try to simplify it as much as possible, but I still have to explain what needs to be explained, otherwise it will really become a list.

Hiigaran Aerospace Group: This is a subsidiary originally established by Fourth Civilization. It mainly researches and produces the battleships in "Homeworld". When Fourth Civilization started, Hiigaran Aerospace Group undertook most of the warship construction work and contributed most to the safety and stability of civilization.

But with the outbreak of the war, the technology of both warring parties developed rapidly, and the technology possessed by Hiigaran Aerospace Group began to fall behind. At present, the company's main orders are no longer for Dawn Territory, but mainly for building warships for some relatively backward planets in Semirians and Confederacy of Independent Systems. After all, those cutting-edge warships are not something that backward planets can afford.

For now, Hiigaran Aerospace Group is the most active company on the black market.

Citadel Standard Light Industry: This company has just been established for about a year, mainly starting from the technology products of "Mass Effect". But young still, Citadel Standard Light Industry is developing extremely rapidly.

This company provides Dawn Territory almost all the firearms and combat uniforms of the army forces, from the simplest M-5 square pistol to the powerful M-92 Cain grenade gun, large and small weapons have formed a complete family of firearms. And these firearms have not withdrawn from the market due to the upgrading of the army forces. For example, the M-5 square pistol is now the standard equipment of the security police in Dawn Territory.

And in terms of combat uniforms, from Liberator II combat suit, which is widely used by regular army troops, to N-7 combat uniforms used by the Fourth Legion, and even various special protective clothing, the market in this area is also very huge.

Halo Weapon Systems Company: This company is somewhat different from other state-owned companies Dawn Territory. Halo Weapon Systems Company is a comprehensive company, somewhat similar to Fourth Group. Because this company, with the technology of "Halo" as its core, has a very extensive product line.

From the M-41 double-barreled rocket launcher, to the now famous Scorpion tank, to M-9 Wolverine anti-aircraft vehicle, M-274 Mongoose Assault Off-road Vehicle, The Warthog armed off-road vehicle, then the D-77 Daigo transport aircraft, the M-650 Mastodon personnel carrier, and even the Endless-class Super Carrier with a length of nearly 5,000 meters are all products of Halo Weapon Systems Company.

Moreover, Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group's latest secret project, Spartan Program, was also developed in cooperation with Halo Weapon Systems Company. Doctor Halsey, as the founder of Spartan Program, currently works in this company.

Titan Security: This is a security company, but to put it bluntly, it is the power used by Dawn Territory to carry out some shady illegal activities, and even participate in gang struggles. Currently he is mainly active in Hutt Space, and plays the role of a mercenary in the struggles of several major families in Hutt. In fact, it is also the tool used by Tang Xiao to interfere with Hutt Space.

The leader of this security company, Big Boss, is also a ruthless expert in special operations and guerrilla warfare. With the cooperation of Mira-Han, a professional pirate, he built Titan Security into Hutt Space, a fearsome mercenary.

Salarian Industrial Group: This is a company founded by Salarian. Just like when Fourth Civilization first started, it also uses this company to develop, manufacture and deliver its own civilized products. Its main source of technology is Amarr Empire from "EVE".

And because the warship produced by this company is Dawn Territory, the next generation main warship of the navy, the development prospects are also very promising. The main products include Calamity-class battlecruiser, Hell Angel-class, Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruiser, Enforcer-class destroyer, Sentry-class Electronic Warfare Frigate, Purification-class stealth special operations ship and so on.

Damask Holdings Group: This company used to be Das-Pregas's company. It was mainly an investment company that created countless wealth for Pregas and occupied a large amount of strategic resources through plunder.

After being inherited by Tang Xiao, Damask Holdings Group's industry was gradually divided. For example, the manufacturing of battleships was assigned to Fourth Group, the mining industry was assigned to United Mining Group, and so on. And in the following time, it also began to continue to develop in terms of investment, mainly investing in and supporting some promising sunrise industries among Dawn Territory.

However, the essence of this company has not changed. In fact, it still controls some growing potential stocks in the name of investment.

Tang Xiao never intended to do anything like market liberalization in Dawn Territory. His development plan and administrative methods for Dawn Territory were filled with two words - power, power, and power!

In addition to state-owned companies, Dawn Territory also has very extensive connections with many existing companies in the galaxy.

The first is naturally Trade Federation, InterGalactic Banking Clan, and Rendili StarDrive. These three leaders of Mega-corporations have now become loyal slaves of Tang Xiao for various reasons.

Among them, the connection with the InterGalactic Banking Clan co-chairman San Hill started from Das-Pregas. And Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray poached from Darth Sidious through a series of coercion and inducement. Rendili StarDrive, on the other hand, successfully got rid of Galactic Republic through its marriage with Tang Xiao.

However, these three Mega-corporations giants can be said to be among the top five super giants in the entire galaxy. Their tentacles are all over the entire galaxy, and the output value they create cannot even compare to the current Dawn Territory!

Although such private enterprises cannot be directly compared with the power of the state, their huge size can still be seen.

For a company of this level, Dawn Territory naturally cannot swallow it all in one go. It can only exert influence through their senior management, at least to make them keep in step with Dawn Territory, which is enough.

But Rendili StarDrive is different. They who married Tang Xiao have basically been regarded by Tang Xiao as their own private property, and the ongoing relocation of Rendili Planet is actually a process of assimilating Rendili.

Under this, there is SoroSuub Corporation. This super industrial company from Salust also began to shift the focus of its activities to Dawn Territory with the merger of Salust. In the near future, it will also be an important part of Dawn Territory.

In addition, including Corporate Alliance, Retail Alliance, and some engine manufacturing companies on Malastare, these companies also maintain good relationships with Dawn Territory and have become their important business partners.

Therefore, with a vast territory, abundant resources, powerful industry, an all-encompassing technological database, a variety of races, and a developed business system, Dawn Territory is now powerful.

And in the foreseeable future, after digesting these populations and technologies, Dawn Territory will definitely become more powerful. Let them even with the power of a corner of the Milky Way, they are enough to compete with Galactic Republic!

The most direct manifestation of the transformation of these forces is military strength!

Dawn Territory's army is divided into two major branches, the army and the navy. All the arms operating on the surface of the planet are the army, including aircraft in the atmosphere, ground forces, armored forces, maritime warships, submarine forces, etc.

And all arms fighting in space are naval forces. This one is very simple - battleship, battleship, battleship.

The current total strength of Dawn Territory's army is 15 million, and these are all soldiers who have undergone systematic training. And as the number of immigrants from Rendili Planet increases, the size of Dawn Territory's army will also become larger and larger. It is expected that in the next five years, the size of the army will expand to as many as 100 million!

The vast majority of those serving in the Dawn Territory Army are humans, accounting for about 80%, and there are also many soldiers of other races.

The race that mainly serves in the army, first of all, is Semirians. As the first race to cooperate with Fourth Civilization, they have a good relationship with each other. The huge Semirians is used as fire support in many army units. Often a Semirians can provide as much firepower as an armored vehicle!

Then there is Ewok. This little bear-like race has entered a period of rapid development under the leadership of Fourth Civilization. Originally they were just a primitive society, but now according to sociological experts' predictions, they will quickly enter the interstellar age within the next two to three generations.

And Ewok's flexible bodies and keen senses make them the most perfect jungle troops. Dawn Territory did indeed set up a jungle force for Ewok.

Salarian, their most famous among the Dawn Territory army is naturally Salarian special forces. This force is now recognized as the most terrifying special forces force in the galaxy. It can assassinate, infiltrate, and penetrate, and is almost omnipotent. The number of this unit is about 1,000, but each one is an ultimate warrior who has been tempered and experienced in hundreds of battles.

Mainly because Salarian's metabolism is more than twice that of humans. This means that although their lifespan is only about 40 years old, their speed of action and thinking are far faster than humans! Such an army is naturally extremely terrifying.

In addition to the special service troops, Salarian also has regular troops in the Dawn Territory Army, numbering about 20,000. Of course, there are many Salarian who serve in the Staff Department and Intelligence Department and also play a huge role.

The most common individual equipment of Dawn Territory's army is the firearms in "Mass Effect" manufactured by Citadel Standard Light Industry. Moreover, the system of firearms is now very complete and can be replaced according to different needs. The current standard equipment of the army is N-7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle.

The Army's combat uniforms have not been upgraded, because the upgrade of combat uniforms is a very huge project, and there is currently no need to replace them on a large scale after only two or three years of war. The current standard combat uniform of the Dawn Territory Army is still Liberator II combat suit. This combat uniform has a certain degree of vacuum environment combat capability and good defense. Although the comprehensive protection capability cannot be compared with the polymer alloy armor of Galaxy Republic clone troopers, it achieves a better balance between performance and cost.

In terms of armored forces, since Scorpion tank joined Dawn Territory Army's armaments, Dawn Territory's army has truly become a comprehensive armored force.

The production of Scorpion tank is very simple, so although it was installed not long ago, the output has exceeded 10,000 vehicles, and most of the frontline planets are equipped.

At present, the army has Scorpion tank as the core, Siege Tank as long-range fire support, Vulture Vehicle and M-9 Wolverine anti-aircraft vehicle as rapid assault forces, M-650 Mastodon as armored personnel carriers, and War Wolf Mech and Goliath Mech as infantry support units. At the same time, the ultimate combat unit Thor Mech has also been included in the production plan.

The Army also has Banshee Fighter as aerial fire support, and also has Wraith fighter specially modified for the Army to strengthen its ground attack capabilities and intra-atmospheric maneuverability. Now, after D-77 Pelican transport is put into active service, the Dawn Territory army will also have a more powerful planet-level delivery capability.

It is worth mentioning that after Corsev Battlecruiser was converted into the Orbital Drop battleship platform, this class of battlecruiser was also added to the Dawn Territory Army sequence. There are currently 10 Corsev Battlecruisers in service with the army. If these battlecruisers are dispatched at the same time, they can even directly Orbital Drop a force of tens of thousands of people!

But now Dawn Territory Army cannot bring out so many Orbital Drop troops. The main thing is to airdrop the biological weapon made by Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group-Indjori Avenger Type 101.

Although Fourth Legion can serve as the Orbital Drop mission, the current Orbital Drop cabin technology is not mature enough and will cause some losses during the airborne process. Therefore, if it is not particularly necessary, the military Commander of Dawn Territory will not use Fourth Legion in this way.

This is inevitable, because Fourth Legion, as the most elite unit of Dawn Territory, can play a huge role on any battlefield, not just Orbital Drop.

Fourth Group The current total strength has expanded to 30,000 people. Compared with the 20,000 people when it was first established, the increase is not much, but the cost of maintaining this army is an extremely huge number.

Because this involves the most mysterious project of Dawn Territory - Rebirth Plan.

Thanks to the leader Wishful Memory Flower Fate for the reward, thank you again... Thank you for your support.
