258. Fleet A becomes an army
As the several battleships previously captured from Black Sun's Vego-Kash-Garulan have almost completed repairs and modifications, 5 CR-70 frigates and 1 Captor-class heavy munitions cruiser have joined their fleet.
For those five CR-70 frigates, they are not qualified to join the current Fourth Civilization series of Fleet A, but they still have other uses.
The Hammerhead-class cruiser Ironfang commanded by Volgograd-Kanidi returned to Endor system and was repainted. After being painted with the standard paint of Fourth Group, it formed a local fleet with five CR-70 frigates and then went to Semirs planet. The fleet number was S.
Gnoll also suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle. Counting their Commander Buka, there are still 13 left. They have temporarily withdrawn from the sequence of Ironfang-class cruiser for other purposes.
Kanidi also handed over the captain's position as he wished, and the command of the battleship was handed over to another Master Class Captain. However, he did not get a vacation to return to Dawn Star Planet. Instead, he followed the fleet to Semirs planet to serve as production management. Tang Xiao has not forgotten this weirdo who hates fighting but is not a virgin. He just hopes that time can heal the unknown wounds in his heart and give full play to his Master Class abilities.
Captor-class heavy munitions cruiser has undergone extensive modifications, with all cargo bays removed and transformed into a hangar. This renovation was simpler than imagined, so the construction period was 3 months faster than expected.
Because Captor-class heavy munitions cruiser originally had a small Hangar Platform, and the entrance and exit were located in the center of the catamaran hull, while the cargo holds were on both sides. Then the transformation is very simple. Open the passage between the cargo bay and Hangar Platform, install the crane and rails, and quickly transform it into two new hangars.
After completing the transformation, the aircraft capacity of this Captor-class heavy munitions cruiser has been increased from 30 to 134. Except for some space used to carry shuttles and transport aircraft, it can carry a full 110 Wraith fighter! It can be said that it has become a standard Light Aircraft Carrier!
The only drawback is that Captor-class has never considered carrying such a large amount of aircraft, so Hangar Platform can only take off and land one aircraft at the same time. This makes its flight formation sortie rate far inferior to that of professional aircraft carriers, but it is enough.
This 800-meter-long large battleship has now become the largest battleship among Fourth Civilization Navy, and was naturally incorporated into Fleet A and became the flagship of Fleet A. The name was personally named by Tang Xiao - Homeworld!
Homeworld light aircraft carrier!
Now Fourth Civilization's Fleet A already has one light aircraft carrier, 20 Revenge-class light destroyer, 40 Cobalt-class heavy frigate, 20 Pulsar-class light frigate and 70 Hammer-class light frigate. Pulling out such a fleet can already become a force that cannot be ignored!
What surprises Tang Xiao even more is that as the Homeworld light aircraft carrier joins active service, one more person from Legendary figure has met the awakening conditions.
Seeing this name, Tang Xiao's eyes lit up and he immediately chose to wake up and asked him to come to the office to find him immediately after completing the physical examination.
There was a knock on the office door, and a 30-year-old soldier walked in. He is not tall at all. He has a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a resolute expression. He has a very standard military appearance, with short, capable hair. After he came in, he gave Tang Xiao a standard military salute and said loudly, "Hello, manager!! Matt-Hona will report to you!"
Seeing the man in front of him, Tang Xiao, nodded with great satisfaction. The fleet command talent he had been longing for finally arrived! Matt-Hona, from "StarCraft", served as Jim Rayner's adjutant and later grew into Imperial Admiral.
He may not have any amazing talents, but he is serious, responsible and meticulous in his work. He may not give you any surprises, but you can rest assured if you leave the matter to him! Such people are what Fourth Civilization Navy lacks the most right now.
It seems that after the Homeworld light aircraft carrier joined the combat sequence, the Fourth Civilization fleet could really be called a fleet, so the awakening conditions of Matt-Hona were achieved.
Tang Xiao looked at him with a smile and said, "I now have a fleet that I want to hand over to you to manage. Are you confident?"
Matt-Hona was obviously stunned, "Manager! I'm new here, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to be in a high position directly. I'm willing to work from the grassroots level and rely on my own abilities to be recognized and promoted."
It seems that regardless of age or temperament, the Matt-Hona in front of him should be in the state of Jim Renner's former adjutant, rather than his peak state as Imperial Admiral.
But this is a good thing. Thinking of this, Tang Xiao said sternly, "No need, this Fleet Commander is a test for you. At present, our Fleet Commander is guested by our Commander of the Navy, and your arrival will just liberate him. This is an order, we must lead this fleet well!"
"Yes! I promise to complete the mission!" Matt-Hona was extremely excited and stood at attention again and saluted.
"The fleet assigned to your command is Fleet A, which includes a light aircraft carrier and 150 combat ships of various types. Currently we do not have large-scale combat missions, but our long-term mission is to continuously combat Black Sun, the largest gang organization in the galaxy. In addition, we must ensure the security of our galaxy. This is your responsibility!"
"Yes! I will get to work immediately and will not give up even if I die!" Matt-Hona responded immediately.
"Okay, the current task of attacking Black Sun is handled by Ni Yongxiao. After you get familiar with Fleet A, contact him as soon as possible to cooperate with his actions!"
"Yes!"
After letting Matt-Hona leave, Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was a reliable person to command the fleet. Although Igor-Zavalov is also a very good Commander, after all, his official position is Commander of the Navy, and it is not a problem to lead the fleet around all day long. It's just right to hand it over to Matt-Hona now. He is the best candidate for Commander of Fleet A in terms of ability and potential.
The same problem exists with Army General Xiao Guanghua, but Xiao Guanghua has mentioned several times that he is not good at this position. He would rather be a frontline Commander than stay in the office. But now the army is still small and there are no suitable candidates, so we have to make do with it.
[Manager, the biological laboratory's research on Indjori has already produced preliminary results. The research director hopes that you will come and see it in person.] The voice of Mainframe came.
That buy one get two free Legendary Class biologist? The speed is really fast!
"Okay, I'll go there now." Tang Xiao stood up, followed the guidance to Hangar Platform, and took the shuttle to the independent biological experiment space station.
However, as soon as he stepped off the shuttle and entered the experimental space station, a figure quickly bumped into him in the corridor! Tang Xiao had a premonition, but he also realized that if he avoided it, the figure would undoubtedly hit the wall, so he stopped immediately.
With a thud, the figure hit his stomach and fell to the ground.
Tang Xiao lowered his head and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl lying on the ground rubbing her forehead. She had fair skin and blond hair, and she looked very cute.
