With the Empire's large-scale recruitment efforts underway, the establishment of the Empire's First Fleet has also come at the best time.

"Your Majesty, in the past month, the qualified students in the training camp have been replenished to the battleship corps. Although it will take a while to become completely proficient in the battleship, at least it will be able to drive the battleship. ”

Early in the morning, Sun Xiwu, commander of the Imperial Space Force warship, happily reported to Zhang Shusheng.

Before this large-scale replenishment of battleship troops, although the battleships that Zhang Shusheng bought back, although they did not stop there waiting for rust, most of them were still temporarily allocated to major military academies and training camps, so that those battleship soldiers could be trained and used in advance.

"In this way, it is time to form our Imperial First Fleet."

Zhang Shusheng knew that for a unit to have combat effectiveness, it was not about how many years of training in the training camp, but at least it had to become an army first.

Most of the warship soldiers recruited from major military academies and training camps for active duty this time are officers and men who have been trained for more than three years.

A considerable number of these millions of battleship soldiers and servicemen came down from the battlefields of World War II and joined military academies and training camps after changing into military uniforms.

On the third day, Zhang Shusheng called Jiang Baili, the right minister of the Military Affairs Yuan, Sun Xiwu, the commander of the space force warship, Zhou Guolai, the left minister of the Political Affairs Yuan, and Wei Sancai, the propaganda minister, to his office.

"This is the composition of the First Fleet of the Empire that I have finally revised, and the annex is about the arrangement of other warships, that is, the formation of the Solar System Garrison Fleet."

Zhang Shusheng handed several documents on the reorganization to the crowd, which were the details of the reorganization of the fleet.

In total, the Reich currently has 41 battleships, 19 cruisers, 8 destroyers, 18 transports. For a first-level civilization, it is already an astronomical number.

"Our First Fleet, which will be named the Galactic Fleet, is the main ......"

According to Zhang Shusheng's plan, the First Fleet of the Empire must have fierce firepower and be able to afford the task of attacking fortified positions. But it can't be too bloated, and it can flexibly deal with a sizable enemy invasion.

As a result, he incorporated all 41 battleships into the First Fleet, of which the flagship of the Zhonghua will not be on regular combat duty, but will be subordinate to the royal family sequence and will be the flagship of the future Imperial Guard fleet.

He was ready to carry out a targeted upgrade of the Zhonghua, and for the time being, there were no extra battleships, so he shelved the plan to establish the Guards Fleet.

The Galactic Fleet is responsible for defending the Empire and must secure enough battleships.

The 40 battleships have reached the size of the main ships of a sub-fleet of the Longshan Empire, but what is lacking are cruisers and other ships.

The Pan-Human Cosmic Alliance is a very broad definition, nor is it a unified existence.

In the Pan-Human Cosmic Alliance, the first-level civilization is undoubtedly at the bottom, and the second-level civilization is only a primary civilization.

According to Zhang Shusheng's idea, a powerful fleet, in addition to a large number of battleships with fierce firepower and strong defense, should also have assault ships, Aegis ships, electronic warfare ships, communication ships, and so on.

It's a pity that these warships can't be made by a second-level civilization at all, and at least a third-level civilization can have a small number of these powerful and purpose-specific special warships.

The regular establishment of the Starfleet of the second-level civilization is very simple, with three categories: battleships, cruisers, and transport ships (supply ships). At least the Longshan detachment that Zhang Shusheng encountered on the periphery of the Lost Star Domain was the only one with these warships.

Destroyers, while nimble, are not suitable for Starfleet, with slower speeds, weaker firepower, and inadequate defenses, taking much longer to even pass through the Space Jump Gate.

The Imperial Galactic Fleet, consisting of 40 battleships with absolute mainstay, followed by 15 cruisers, 10 transports (supply ships), for a tentative total of 65 battleships.

"These 65 battleships will have to be refitted to a certain extent, the cruiser will strengthen the energy shield, armor, firepower, and the transport ship will strengthen the speed and shield.

In the future, the total number of warships of the First Fleet will reach 100 units, and it will be necessary to replenish 5 battleships, 30 cruisers. In order to achieve the optimal configuration of battleships and cruisers to one, the formation of dual firepower units, convenient for flexible combat. ”

Although Zhang Shusheng explained this, he was also depressed in his heart, these 35 large warships, I am afraid that I have to tighten my belt to buy them back, and I must think of a way.

The Galactic Fleet, composed of 100 capital warships, has the ability to protect the empire and guard the sea of stars in the Lost Star Field.

"The Galactic Fleet will be divided into three sub-fleets, and the third sub-fleet will be permanently stationed there after the construction of a large spaceport in the Trident star field is completed in the future.

The 1st and 2nd flotillas are stationed on the Moon.

In addition, 4 cruisers, 8 destroyers, and 2 transports (gunboats/supply ships) will form the Solar System Fleet, which will be mainly responsible for the Empire's security and deterrence missions. ”

The headquarters of the Solar System Fleet is located on the moon, and if it is to guard against powerful foreign enemies, it is better to guard against those possible interstellar wandering pirates, and more importantly, internal guards.

It doesn't need a particularly strong lineup, 14 ships are more than enough to keep the law and order.

On top of that, smaller warships belong to the defense forces of each planet.

"The Galaxy Fleet will be commanded by Sun Xiwu himself, and the Solar System Fleet will be commanded by Qin Baijiang."

In terms of the selection of battleship commanders, Zhang Shusheng did not choose from those veteran generals in the past.

The best of them, such as Dianlan, would be very good commanders of ground operations in space, and they would be the best candidates for commando commanders, but it would be almost impossible to train them to be very good commanders in all aspects.

Sun Xiwu and Qin Baijiang have both been selected over the years and at various levels, and they are excellent commanders that have been proven in practice.

"Your Majesty, there is also a part about the Space Force Assault Force in this plan, the scale of about 20 warships, this may take a long time to realize, right?"

Jiang Baili saw that there was a warship part about the interstellar assault force in this space force development and reorganization plan, and he was concerned.

"Well, it is necessary for the assault troops to configure their own warships, of course, mainly escort warships and transport warships, and when it comes to conventional tasks, it is not flexible enough to transfer the main warships of the military to escort them.

However, now we are short of warships, and for the time being, we will not be able to equip escort warships for a year or two, but transport ships can be transferred. ”

Zhang Shusheng explained, this is also something that can't be helped, the empire is already considered an explosive household, but even such an explosive wealth is not enough to make countless warships appear between the earth.

Compared to other first-level civilizations, the empire has been able to bully those countries that have just been promoted to second-level civilizations.

"Your Majesty's final expansion plan is very pragmatic, with a certain expansion, and it is not blind."

Sun Xiwu said that although he knew that he was the most likely person to be appointed commander of the First Fleet, he was still very excited to be the one who was really finalized by His Majesty.

The strength of the empire is increasing with each passing day, and it is only a matter of time before the fleet grows from scratch, from small to large, until it comes out of the Lost Star Domain, and now it seems that this speed will become very fast.

"Well, guys, this is just our short-term plan for now, the world is impermanent, maybe tomorrow the route of the Lost Star Field will be discovered. Maybe the Great Trade and War will come tomorrow, so do a good job in the present, and there will be no regrets in the future, and I wish our fleet a constant victory! ”

Zhang Shusheng asked the secretary to bring a few glasses of Wuliangye and drank them all, which was regarded as a conclusion for the establishment of the fleet.

The next thing is the matter of Jiang Baili, Cai Yi and Sun Xiwu, there are too many things that he, the emperor, needs to worry about.

"You stay when the country comes, let's go for a walk together."

Zhang Shusheng left Zhou Guolai, and the two came to the artificial lake behind the office center, and talked about political affairs while walking, which is also his habit, and he can talk about work easily.

"The country is coming, we now have a total of three life planets on hand, the earth is our home planet, and it is also the most important habitable planet, environmental protection issues must be grasped, governance measures must be resolute, and environmental protection subsidies must be issued in place."

Zhang Shusheng said earnestly, no one wants the earth to become a dirty, ugly and dilapidated planet.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, according to our testing, although the promotion of new technologies and equipment, the promulgation of new regulations, now the air quality is improving every month, and we are also dealing with some old and difficult problems."

Zhou Guo said.

Zhang Shusheng nodded, in fact, the current environment of the earth is not bad, it is much better than the beginning of the 21st century where he was originally located.

For example, a river in his hometown was full of stinky water at the beginning of the 21st century, but when he returned to his hometown for a trip in 51, the river was crystal clear, and you could see fish swimming among the aquatic plants, and the water quality was excellent.

"There are still a few living planets, the solar system is our home galaxy, even if more life planets are discovered in the future, I hope that there will be a second or even a third artificial life planet in the solar system."

Zhang Shusheng mentioned the main matter, he plans to carry out preliminary modification of several planets in the solar system.

"Your Majesty, this idea is very ambitious, however, on planets like Venus and Mars, it is not too difficult to build a base, but if you want to transform it, will it cost too much."

Zhou Guolai asked with some confusion, he didn't know much about technology.

Zhang Shusheng: "The cost is definitely not small, and the time will not be too short." For example, Venus, although known as the sister star of the Earth, also has an atmosphere, but the carbon dioxide content is as high as 97%, and there is a dense sulfuric acid cloud that is more than ten kilometers thick.

The temperature is even more terrifying, reaching more than 400 degrees Celsius. ”

"Wouldn't it be particularly difficult to renovate? Your Majesty, I don't know much about technology. ”

Zhou Guolai wondered.

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, "Hehe, the country comes, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, no one is perfect." The transformation of Venus is difficult to say, and easy to say.

It has an extremely rich reserve of groundwater, which is one of the necessary conditions for the renovation.

Secondly, its surface ultra-high temperature is mainly due to the long-term greenhouse effect, which can be changed as long as the atmosphere can be modified.

As for the concentrated sulfuric acid clouds, it is not that difficult. ”

"Your Majesty means that we have all these technologies, or do we have a way to solve them?"

Zhou Guolai is sure that His Majesty must have thought of a more perfect transformation method, so that if the transformation of Venus is really completed, the earth will be regarded as one more life planet close at hand.

"For the specific transformation, I will let the Science and Technology Committee come up with a plan first. The whole transformation is not difficult, and the investment will not be too much, and it just so happens that we have several key technologies that can solve the problem. At that time, you will no longer be in charge of the government affairs of the three living planets, it will probably be four, five, hehe. ”

Zhang Shusheng chatted with Zhou Guolai again, several of them are big things similar to the transformation of the planet, under the premise of high efficiency, he also said in detail, everything is done, and there are naturally people to do specific things.
