1535. Grand Duke of Dawn (Twelve) [Army Chapter, Navy Chapter] (I drank too much today, everyone will read it tomorrow.)
Fourth Legion is the most powerful unit of Dawn Territory. Although there are only 30,000 people, this unit can fight against any force.
Even Galactic Republic's extremely powerful Kamino clone army, with Galactic Republic's nearly unlimited supply of logistics and equipment, had several battles with the Fourth Legion, all of which ended in failure.
The current Fourth Legion is known as 'Black Legion' in the army of Galactic Republic. This is also derived from the standard combat uniform of the Fourth Legion - the N-7 combat uniform. In addition to its excellent protective capabilities and action assistance capabilities, the biggest feature of this combat uniform is that it is equipped with Personal Shield!
This thing is a luxury item that even Galactic Republic dare not think of!
In fact, there are not many attacks that Personal Shield can resist. After being hit by Blaster rifle several times in a row, it must be cooled down. But in actual combat, the combat effectiveness displayed by the army with Personal Shield and without Personal Shield is very different!
Soldiers with Personal Shield, even if they are attacked and do not react immediately, can still hide in the bunker after resisting the first wave of attacks, wait until the shield cools down again, and then fight back. Even if soldiers without Personal Shield are not fatally injured during the attack, their combat effectiveness will be greatly affected, and this effect will be lasting.
Moreover, every Fourth Legion soldier has been continuously indoctrinated and trained in combat skills since birth, and their physical fitness has also been continuously enhanced under the action of the body-strengthening drugs provided by Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group.
If Galactic Republic and Kaminoan clone troopers are constantly copied on the basis of a perfect sample, Fourth Legion is constantly strengthened on the basis of a less perfect sample.
And the most terrifying thing is that every soldier of the Fourth Legion has joined Rebirth Plan!
The so-called Rebirth Plan is a project established by combining the genetic technology of "Resident Evil", the cloning technology and consciousness transfer technology of "EVE", and Essence Transfer, one of the most advanced technologies among Sith Alchemy.
Through this program, all participating soldiers create a backup for themselves. This backup includes a body in optimal condition, a consciousness backed up before going into battle, and a link formed by Essence Transfer.
If the soldier dies during the battle, the link of Essence Transfer will pull his soul back, absorb the backup consciousness, and then be resurrected in a new body.
The main reason for this process is that the souls of ordinary people are not strong enough to carry all their own consciousness, and if it is Das-Malthael himself, his Essence Transfer skips the middle step.
In this way, all soldiers who join Rebirth Plan will not be afraid of death on the battlefield. The most important thing is that they may survive countless battles, thereby making themselves stronger through continuous accumulation.
Looking back at Galactic Republic, there may be a Clone Trooper that can survive 99 battles, but once he dies in the 100th battle, everything is in vain. As for the soldiers of the Fourth Legion, they can have countless opportunities to try to participate in the 100th battle.
With continuous accumulation, the capability gap between the Fourth Legion and Clone Trooper will only become wider and wider.
Also joining Rebirth Plan are many fighter pilots from Dawn Territory. However, unlike Fourth Legion where all members must participate in Rebirth Plan, whether fighter pilots participate in Rebirth Plan is voluntary. Currently, about 20,000 pilots have joined Rebirth Plan. After all, for most ordinary people, Rebirth Plan is still unethical and unacceptable.
All pilots who refuse to join Rebirth Plan will forget the content of this conversation under the influence of a special device, so that this plan will not be leaked.
But in fact, Rebirth Plan was more or less seen by others. For example, other pilots clearly saw that this man was shot down, but within a few days his good arms and legs came back, and he still had vague memories of the details of the battle at that time. This makes people suspicious.
However, suspicion is suspicion, and the existence of Rebirth Plan is still classified as top secret.
For the Dawn Territory Army, the future development direction is the widespread use of individual power armor. Individual power armor that is currently close to being put into service includes CMC-300 power armor, Rhino Power Armor and Vulture Power Armor.
Among them, the CMC-300 power armor comes from the technology of "StarCraft" Terran Empire. It is designed and manufactured by Tyran Heavy Industries. The prototype has been finalized and only needs to pass the final test before it can be delivered for mass production.
However, at present, the cost of CMC-300 power armor is still too high for Dawn Territory's productivity and production technology, and it can only be equipped on a small scale. The original plan was to provide this kind of power armor to the Fourth Legion first, but the super Soldier Kings of the Fourth Legion didn't like this kind of power armor at all, mainly because they disliked them for being too bulky, which would affect their own performance.
Because the physically strengthened Fourth Legion soldier, with his body's flexibility and explosive power, no longer needs this kind of power armor bonus.
Therefore, the CMC-300 powered armor will ultimately remain the same as its original positioning, ready to be provided to ordinary soldiers on the front line. At present, the first batch of experimental models have begun to be provided to the army of serious criminals established in the prison planet Sojourn - Beast Legion. After using their despicable lives for actual combat testing, mass production and delivery will begin.
Rhino Power Armor is one of the two prototype power armors manufactured by Doctor Octopus Otto-Gunther-Ostavis. It is a heavy-duty power armor with firepower comparable to that of a heavy tank. Once this kind of power armor is designed and delivered, it will replace War Wolf Mech's battlefield status.
Vulture Power Armor is a kind of flying armor. When Doctor Octopus proposed and built the prototype and delivered it to Dawn Territory Army Command for review, it was once rejected because ordinary people could not control such a complex flying mecha. But in the end, it was discovered that the soldiers of the Fourth Legion and Salarian special forces were capable of controlling this kind of power armor, and they also favored this kind of power armor, so they were retained as Elite Class equipment.
Dawn Territory's army army building ideas mainly focus on two directions.
The first is to use a small number of troops for global projection, relying on the transportation of Corsev Battlecruiser's Orbital Drop and D-77 Pelican transport to deliver a small number of elite troops. Including Indjori Avenger Type 101, CMC-300 power armor, Rhino Mech, etc., to cause maximum damage with the minimum number.
The second is the insertion and assault of large-scale armored forces on the frontal battlefield, relying on large quantities of Scorpion tank and M-650 Mastodon personnel carriers, and cooperating with other armored units to carry out comprehensive mechanized army assaults to shred the enemy's line in a short time.
These are all combat plans based on the needs of land warfare in this interstellar era.
In the interstellar era, due to the existence of space battleships, land battlefields have highlighted globalization and elitism because of the limited carrying capacity of battleships. This also affects the large-scale use of armored forces - as we all know, armored forces also rely on logistics, so limited logistics also prevents armored forces from supporting long-term protracted battles.
Therefore, what Dawn Territory's army wants is frontal armored force assault to cooperate with Orbital Drop, so as to resolve the battle in a short time and prevent the battle from being dragged into a protracted war. All they pay attention to is a one-shot deal.
And Dawn Territory Navy, with the help of the mysterious and all-encompassing database of Glory mothership, shines with incomparable brilliance.
Starting from the initial Cobalt-class frigate, Revenge-class destroyer, and Revelation-class light cruiser, Dawn Territory developed a kilometer-class battleship fleet with Hiigaran-class battlecruiser as the main force in just a few years, and soon built Kohl-class Battlecruiser and Sova-class Carrier.
Moreover, Sefrans-Tann also accidentally found Blade Fleet. Those more than 170 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser also played an important role in the war.
The Dawn Territory fleet alone, with Kohl-class Battlecruiser and Sova-class Carrier as the main force, repeatedly severely damaged Republic Fleet in the war. In many battles, the battle loss ratio of both fleets was at least 1:3, sometimes even as high as 1:10!
With the end of Eriadu System Campaign, Dawn Territory's former main battleships were depleted, and Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser also suffered heavy losses, so they also took advantage of the situation and started a new round of naval reform.
Different from the previous situation where the battleship Trader Emergency Coalition in "Sins of a Solar Empire" was the main force, the new round of main naval battleships is mainly the battleship Amarr Empire in "EVE".
These warships are all researched and built by Salarian. Thanks to Salarian's ultra-fast work efficiency, although Amarr Empire's warships are very different from existing technology, they are still in Dawn Territory Research Department Under the leadership of Minister, Salarian Chief Engineer Arroyo-Barlow, numerous technical difficulties were quickly overcome and a large number of warships were successfully launched.
And Salarian also established Salarian Industrial Group to specialize in manufacturing and selling these warships.
However, Salarian Industrial Group's production capacity is limited after all. After completing the design and finalization of those battleships, many of them were authorized to Dawn Territory other industrial groups for construction.
For example, Hiigaran Aerospace Group, Rendili StarDrive, and SoloSub Corporation are also authorized to produce these warships. Among them, Rendili StarDrive is overcapacity. Their flagship product Victory II-class Star Destroyer has not yet come out, and a large number of interstellar shipyards are still idle. As for Hiigaran and SoloSub Corporation, their own products have lagged behind, so they can only do OEM.
But Tyran Heavy Industries and Fourth Group do not need these authorizations because they have their own active products, Behemoth-class battlecruiser and various fighters and transport aircraft; Fourth Group also has a variety of warships in "Sins of a Solar Empire" that need to be built.
During this period of time, during the confrontation between Eriadu system and Galactic Republic, Dawn Territory also quietly completed the transformation of its fleet, and the types of warships became more diverse.
Among the current thousand-meter battleships of Dawn Territory, there are heavy-armored battleships Hell Angel-class 1254 meters, battleships equipped with Particle Beam Lance Calamity-class 1550 meters, equipped with Doomsday Battlefield class 1049 meters that can absorb and neutralize the energy of enemy ships, and equipped with shield remote replenishment systems. Dunov Class 1020m, equipped with advanced anti-aircraft gun array and Hypermatter Railgun Kohl-class 1100m, equipped with Yamato Cannon Behemoth-class 1300m, equipped with a variety of Fire Cloud series missile Martha-class heavy cruiser 940m.
These types of battleships alone have formed a variety of complements, forming a very complete combat combination.
There are both the human shield Hell Angel-class, the mid-range artillery support Behemoth-class and Kohl-class, the Doomsday Battlefield class and Dunov Class that provide assistance, the Masha-class that provides fire coverage, and the ultra-long-range attack Calamity-class. Coupled with the support of Sova-class Carrier 1300 meters, such a fleet is almost impossible to fail.
After these battleships entered mass production, the configuration of Dawn Territory's thousand-meter-class battleships has basically stabilized. The next main task is to gradually eliminate Kohl-class Battlecruiser and Sova-class Carrier, carry out modern modifications (after all, "Sins of a Solar Empire 2" is coming out...), and then add Victory II-class Star Destroyer produced by Rendili StarDrive to the configuration.
In terms of small and medium-sized warships, the 344-meter-long Revelation-class light cruiser and the 290-meter-long Grizzly-class heavy destroyer, which have been in service for many years, will also gradually be withdrawn from active service and transferred to the escort fleet or Planet Defense Fleet. These two types of warships did not perform well in actual combat, mainly because their opponents, Galactic Republic and Aquitenes-class light cruiser, were too outstanding.
Next, these two types of warships will be replaced by the 288-meter-long Enforcer-class heavy destroyer, and there are rumors that Salarian Industrial Group is preparing to launch two other types of light warships into service to improve the combat capabilities of Dawn Territory light warships below 500 meters. As for these two new warships, only their names have been revealed so far - Tyrant class and Pioneer-class.
In addition, the 296-meter-long Dominator-class drone mothership, the 260-meter-diameter Star-class Repair Drone Mothership, the 300-meter-long Sky Blue-class command ship, and the 344-meter-long Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser all continue to become important additions to the Dawn Territory fleet due to their unique roles.
Among the frigate classes in the 100-meter length range, the 100-meter-long Garda Flak Frigate and the 85-meter-long Javelin-class missile frigate will continue to serve despite their long service times due to their very classic designs. However, the guard class will be equipped with more advanced anti-aircraft guns and fire control systems, and Javelin-class will also be equipped with more powerful missiles.
The 78-meter-long Cobalt-class heavy frigate will be withdrawn from active service, and the 34-meter-long Manghan/Stilat Class Light Corvette will also be withdrawn from active service due to changes in demand for the current Dawn Territory.
