158. Assemble the Fleet (Part 2)
Qi Jian added, "Now Fourth Civilization the entire navy has a personnel establishment of 3,000 people, in addition to 5,000 reserve personnel, who can step onto the battlefield at any time after training. Manager, tell us the goal this time!"
Tang Xiao nodded, but did not speak. He just looked at the holographic projections of these battleships and took a deep breath.
Among these spaceships, Hammerhead-class cruiser is certified to carry 300 people, and Marines can also carry 400 people. Cobalt-class heavy frigate is authorized to carry 75 people; Revenge-class light destroyer is authorized to carry 40 people; Hammer-class light frigate only needs 3 drivers.
So Fourth Civilization has been busy for so long, up and down, and the total number of people in the entire navy is not enough to Galactic Republic the number of people on a battleship, oh no, not even Heavy Cruiser.
The size... Tang Xiao sighed, this thing can't be rushed.
It is expected that in 5 to 10 years, Fourth Civilization will usher in the climax of the first wave of demographic dividend, mainly because at that time, the Cryo-embryo who are now being cultivated will basically be adults.
And the war will start at that time.
Therefore, that war was also a war that Fourth Civilization could not afford to lose!
For the sake of the future war, we must make good use of the current battle on Malastare. This will be a rare opportunity for military training.
Tang Xiao said slowly, "This time we will go to Malastare to serve as a mercenary army. I will not tell you the enemy of this battle for the time being. In addition, we will follow the instructions of a mercenary Commander."
Qi Jian frowned and asked, "Manager, do we have to listen to the orders of an outsider?"
"Yes, because we are a mercenary army and it is natural to use money to do things. But don't worry, I know that Commander. He is the top-ranked Fleet Commander I know." Tang Xiao replied, "So, this time, our entire army is dispatched! All spaceships, not one left, are dispatched!"
"Everyone is dispatched?" Qi Jian was shocked.
"Yes, I will also go out with the fleet, but I will only supervise the battle on site. Fourth Civilization Navy Commander Igor-Zavalov, you are in charge of Fleet Commander." Tang Xiao said to Big Beard on the side.
"Yes!" That Big Beard Commander was taciturn and just stood at attention and saluted.
"Carl Si-Walton, you serve as the deputy commander of the fleet, assisting the command of Zavalov." Tang Xiao continued the appointment.
"Yes!"
"Volgograd-Kanidi, your Ironfang Hammerhead-class cruiser is not in our fleet sequence, you need to act alone."
"That... manager..."
Tang Xiao turned to Qi Jian and said, "Qi Jian, although I understand that you also want to participate in this battle, Glory mothership needs your presence." Tang Xiao said.
Qi Jian frowned and said, "Manager, I personally don't care. But... sending all our spaceships out this time, isn't it too...Endor system is our foundation, at least we need to leave some large battleships to defend!"
"This fleet does not carry many aircraft and can only take away about 40 Wraith fighters. Therefore, there are still 60 Wraith fighters available on the Glory motherships, which should be enough for defense." Tang Xiao said.
"But even Wraith fighter needs the support of a large battleship to successfully carry out operations! Are we going to let Glory mothership rush up to deal with the enemy's battleship this time? There are more than 500,000 hibernating residents on the mothership, as well as countless Cryo-embryo!" Qi Jian argued with reason.
"I have other arrangements for this. All you need is to organize Glory mothership's defense. When the time is right, I will tell you the battle plan. This time, we will attack with the whole army. This has been confirmed and is an order." Tang Xiao said.
"Yes!" Qi Jian could only salute and accepted the arrangement.
"Manager... could it be that this time..." Volgograd-Kanidi finally realized something was wrong and asked quickly while Tang Xiao had just finished speaking.
"That's right, become a mercenary and prepare for war."
"Start the war..." Kanidi's feet softened and he almost sat on the ground, "No... Manager, didn't you agree..."
Tang Xiao glanced at him and said, "Yes, we are not going to be pirates this time."
"Our entire fleet will attack. This is worse than being a pirate!" Kanidi was about to cry.
"Don't worry, we will win this battle without a doubt!" Tang Xiao replied with great determination.
This fleet contains a total of 72 spaceships, including 1 Hammerhead-class cruiser, 6 Revenge-class light destroyer, 5 Cobalt-class heavy frigate, and 60 Hammer-class light frigate.
In terms of carrier-based aircraft, Hammerhead-class cruiser can carry 18 Wraith fighter, and Revenge-class light destroyer can carry 4 Wraith fighter, so there are 42 Wraith fighter in total.
This is currently all the power Fourth Civilization can use for expeditions.
When these spacecraft were arranged in a neat queue outside the Glory mothership hangar, they looked extremely majestic. Although this fleet cannot be compared with the regular army, it must be emphasized that the only two regular fleets in the entire galaxy are Galactic Republic's Judicial Fleet and Hutt's fleet.
The independent fleets of other planets, as well as the fleets of some gangs and organizations, rarely have this scale.
Because since Galactic Republic, since Rusan Reforms, domestic force has been basically abolished. But weakening their own force does not mean that they will sit back and ignore the military expansion of those organizations and companies.
In fact, Galactic Republic prohibits all companies and organizations from owning large-scale fleets. As long as such signs are discovered, the result will definitely be extreme punishment.
In addition, there are only a handful of companies in the galaxy that can build large warships. Kuat Drive Yards and Lundili Interstellar Engineering Company are the two largest shipbuilding companies, but they only accept official orders.
Corellia Engineering Company Although their business scope is extremely wide, they currently do not have the business of large warships. Even if they have the ability to build them, they will not build them.
The only exception is InterGalactic Banking Clan. Because they can be said to be the economic lifeline and treasury of the entire galaxy, they are licensed to own a large battleship, which is Generous-class Communications Escort. However, Galactic Republic also restricts the use of Generous-class frigate, preventing more than five such large battleships from appearing in the same star area at the same time.
In this era when the entire galaxy has not yet been armed for war, this fleet of 72 spaceships may seem shabby, but it is really powerful!
"Assemble the fleet and prepare to set off!" Tang Xiao stood on the bridge of Glory mothership and gave the order to set off with a wave of his hand! -
