In the Martian space orbit, a military meeting is being held in the Kunpeng space station, the headquarters of the Star Alliance fleet, which was converted from the Avengers 4 Space Sanctuary 2.

The participants were all at the highest level of the Star Alliance military, and it was these people who formed the Supreme Command of the Star Alliance military.

The conference table was a long table, and at the top of it was Field Marshal Sheffield, yes, a field marshal and not a general...... In the face of the upcoming war against the Zerg, the Star Alliance military launched a war mobilization order at the same time, and also began to expand the Star Alliance fleet, which was originally composed of five fleets, and will be expanded to eleven.

And the original commander-in-chief of the fleet, Sheffield was also promoted to the second marshal in the history of the Star Alliance, and the first marshal was Norman Osborne, the second president of the Star Alliance.

Of course, although he has the title of the first marshal in the history of the Star Alliance, Norman Osborne, who is very aware of his ability, generally does not participate in military affairs, and he is good at political affairs, and he still forgets about playing military command or something.

Sitting on Sheffield's left hand side are the members of the staff headed by Chris, the chief of the general staff, because the Star Alliance was newly established, and unlike the countries on Earth in the past, which were basically established through major wars, so although the army is large, there are not many senior generals, and the first batch of generals are only Sheffield, Chris, Diana and Cortana. Now there are a few more captains in charge, and the remaining generals are basically lieutenant generals and rear admirals, so the current Star Alliance, the generals are still very valuable.

There are mainly Lieutenant General Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Major General Maria Hill, Chief of Staff Emily Rakva

Lieutenant General Ariel Hansen, Chief of Staff of Lieutenant General Ariel Hansen, who is in charge of scientific research, is on staff to Stettman

Lieutenant General Chief of Staff Tony Stark, who is in charge of equipment development, and Major General Staff Officer Rory Swan

Lieutenant General Chief of Staff Peggy Carter, who is in charge of logistics, and Sharon Carter, Staff Officer of Major General

Lieutenant General Chief of Staff Glavine Hill, who is in charge of recruitment and training, and Major General Gui Montag, Chief of Staff of Major General Gui Montag

Lieutenant General Victor von Doom, commander of the gendarmerie in charge of the military justice department, deputy commander of the gendarmerie, Major General Konstantin (younger brother of Laura's adoptive mother Anna).

Most of them don't need to be introduced, the only one who is not very familiar with it is probably Gui Montag, this is an interstellar hero who was accidentally summoned by Chris when he was routinely summoned, in fact, Chris is not familiar with this guy at all, and even many people, including Nova, are not familiar with him, or Kerry Gan told his origin, he used to be the first sergeant major of the Meridian Federation Fire Bat Elite Unit, Omega Squadron. He had an excellent performance in the battle where the Zerg invaded the planet Tassanis, that is, Kerrigan was captured by the Zerg, and finally led the remnants of the Omega army to successfully escape from Tassanis.

After the collapse of the Tyranid Federation, the remnants of the Omega forces, including Gui Montag, were absorbed by the Tyranid Empire, but as the elite troops of the former Federation, it was inevitable that they would not be trusted by the new Emperor Mengsk, so although they were absorbed, they were basically treated coldly as a second-line force, so they did not have a good reputation in the interstellar 2 plot.

But there is no doubt that Gui Montag is still an extremely outstanding and heroic veteran, you must know that he is a first-class sergeant major, although he is a non-commissioned officer rank, not an officer, but whether it is in the interstellar world of Tyranny, or the countries of the earth in the past, the first-class sergeant major is a treasure in the army, and it is a better existence than a general, but because he does not meet the conditions for promotion, he can't be an officer, so even if his strength is average, there is no problem at all for Chris to promote him to the command.

And sitting on Sheffield's right was the chief officer of the eleven fleets.

They are the Commander of the First Fleet: Admiral Helmut Zemo, the Commander of the Second Fleet: Admiral Frank Custer, the Commander of the Third Fleet: Admiral Moraleris, the Commander of the Fourth Fleet: Admiral Gil Valentine, and the Commander of the Fifth Fleet: Admiral Cortana.

These five fleets are also the five fleets at the beginning of the establishment of the Star Alliance, except for Cortana, the other four admirals were all promoted from lieutenant general to become the second batch of admirals of the Star Alliance because of their exploits in the war against Bradat. Among the five fleets, Cortana's Fifth Fleet is also special, it is the Star Alliance's garrison fleet, and it is also the only fleet stationed in the solar system, and the other five fleets are not stationed in the solar system.

In contrast to the fact that only the chief officers of these five fleets attended the meeting, five of the six newly expanded fleets had two chief officers in attendance.

This is because the newly expanded five fleets will not be completely composed of human beings, but will be jointly formed by the Star Alliance and the five civilizations that joined the Vulcan, and the five civilizations must send half the size of the fleet to join the fleet, obey the command of the Star Alliance Command, with the senior generals of the Star Alliance as the chief officer, and the officers sent by the five civilizations as the adjutants.

And in order to reflect the importance that the Covenant attaches to these civilizations, adjutants from the five civilizations will also be allowed to participate in the regular meetings of the High Command.

They are the commander of the Sixth Fleet (Vulcan fleet): Vice Admiral Kwon Jin, deputy commander Rear Admiral Barron,

Commander of the Seventh Fleet (Nemodia Flotilla): Vice Admiral Valerian Monsk, Deputy Commander Rear Admiral Kit Gunley

Eighth Fleet (Tsigria Fleet) Vice Admiral Matt Horner, Deputy Commander Rear Admiral Murray

Commander of the Ninth Fleet (Kettian Fleet) Vice Admiral Yondu Udon Tower, Deputy Commander Rear Admiral Tiger

Commander of the Tenth Fleet (Bejiuren Fleet) Vice Admiral Yare Heinisen, Deputy Commander Rear Admiral Iru.

Compared with the first five admirals, the commanders of the newly expanded five fleets were very controversial when they were announced, after all, the five admirals were already well-known on Earth before the establishment of the Star Alliance...... Zemo is the commander of the New Russian Empire, Frank Custer is the once-infamous leader of the Black Claw, Moraris is the commander of the Osborne Group's internal security forces, Jill is the external liaison officer of the Overwatch Force, second only to Sheffield in the Overwatch, and Cortana is Chris's close deputy.

And what the hell are the newly appointed five fleet commanders? Well, among them, Kwon Jin and Yare Hennison forget it, one of these two is Chinese, the other is Italian, and they are the two officers who performed the most in the Bradat War, and it is also said that they were exceptionally promoted. But where did Valenrian and Matt Horner come from? I don't have any resume, and the grade is not like a word.

The other fleet commanders, except for Field Marshal Sheffield, the oldest is Frank, who participated in the Vietnam War, and now his actual age is almost sixty years old, even if it is Jill, he is actually in his early forties, even the exceptionally promoted Kwon Jin and Yaley Henison are almost forty.

But what about this Valentian and Matt Horner who popped up? According to the information released by the two, the former is 25 years old, and Matt Horner is 29 years old, and the young ones are not like words.

Okay, these two have also endured, and they are still earthlings, but what the hell is this Yongdu? Why let a blue-skinned alien be the commander of the fleet?

There is no doubt that these doubts actually come from the old and young people who have been in the countries of the earth, especially a few large countries...... With the gradual stabilization and rapid expansion of the Star Alliance, many of the remnants of the past major powers on the earth have also begun to become restless, trying to seize the rights of the Star Alliance, especially those high-level US generals who have had a close relationship with Chris, it is more than once crazy hints to Chris, Sheffield, Norman and other high-level Star Alliance leaders, hoping to shine for the Star Alliance.

However, Chris ignored all the grievances and hints of these people.

Young? Don't look at Valerian and Matt young, but in terms of fleet command experience, whether it is these people on the earth or the commanders of the first four fleets, they are all scum compared to these two, even if it is Nova Kerrigan, he doesn't dare to say that he can beat the two.

The former is the second emperor of the Tyranid Empire, the only son of Mengsk, who received strict military training in his teens, learned the theory of war, and began to contact the command of the army after becoming the crown prince at the age of twenty-one, although he was obsessed with archaeology (looking for the Sarnagar artifact), but also accumulated a lot of practical experience in the process because of the resistance of the Star Spirit, the Zerg, and Renault.

And Matthorner is even more remarkable, he is the number one fleet commander under Renault, and after the war, after Valerian became the new emperor of Tyran, he became the number one commander of the empire.

Young? What's wrong with being young? People travel more distance in space than you breathe! It's nothing.

and Yongdu, as a veteran marauder, although he is a little unworthy compared to the serious cosmic civilization soldiers, but compared to the vast majority of earthlings who have just walked out of their home planet, it is also stronger I don't know how many times, and its own civilization has long been destroyed, in the case of Chris is strong enough, its loyalty is not much stronger than those old and young people on the earth, and as an alien, sitting in the position of the commander of the Star Alliance fleet, It is not a kind of attraction and encouragement for those civilizations who have newly joined the Star Alliance, and in addition to him, Nebula has also entered the Star Alliance's military system, serving under Yongdu.

So not long after the relevant controversy appeared, it was forcibly suppressed by Chris, not to mention the future, at least for now, Chris's control of the Star Alliance is absolutely unique.

In addition to the above ten fleets, the last eleventh fleet is the most special, because although this fleet is nominally under the Supreme Command of the Star Alliance, in fact, no one can command this fleet except Chris.

This fleet is the Death Fleet sent by Asgard, a civilization that is a member of the Star Alliance! The commander of the fleet, without a doubt, was none other than Nova the Meow King. The core of the fleet is composed of a group of elite warriors who are willing to be loyal to Hela, the new king of Asgard, the Warneheim, and the Elves of Alfheim, with the weapons and equipment and warships made by the Nidavel dwarves at the request of Hela (Chris), with the technology of the star spirits, and a fleet that is named after the god of Hela.

Compared to other civilizations that were clearly vassals of the Covenant, Chris deliberately retained the independence of Asgard, and the two sides were completely equal...... In the case of human race and Zerg, the Protoss naturally cannot be less, but this Protoss will not end up casually, and even if Chris does something through Asgard, it will not involve the earth.

"Your Excellency Marshal, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, after the research of our Strategic Intelligence Department, I hope that the High Command can make a special case for the task force!" This time, the meeting was mainly about matters related to the expansion of the fleet, and after deciding on the relevant content, Maria Hill spoke.

"What's the exception?" Sheffield asked, and the rest of the generals looked at Maria Hill.

"Because of the expansion of the five fleets, there is an extreme shortage of mid- and lower-ranking officers in the army, and the task force has special responsibilities, so I hope to be able to relax the recruitment restrictions on task force officers." Maria Hill said.

Sheffield, who heard this, frowned and looked at Chris beside him, and the other generals were also slightly surprised.

In fact, the Covenant's lack of mid-level officers is well known.

After all, the Star Alliance has been established for a short time, although Chris has begun to accumulate strength a long time ago, but the training of personnel is really not as fast as the manufacture of warships, it is easy for ordinary soldiers, but it is really not easy for officers. This led to a lack of officers after the formation of the Star Alliance.

The senior generals are better, after all, there are not many of them, Chris summons some and promotes some, which is basically enough, but the relatively large number of middle-level officers is not good

If it weren't for the early Overwatch troops and the fact that Chris secretly cultivated a lot of descendants, the shelves of the first five fleets might not have been able to be built.

And this time five more fleets were expanded, although the personnel requirements were only half, but if it was not for the promotion of a group after the war against Bradat, otherwise it would not be enough at all.

So until now, middle-level officers are still very scarce.

And the reason for this is largely due to one of the Star Alliance's restrictions on the selection of officers...... The Covenant Army does not prohibit the participation of soldiers from the old era, but it does restrict this category of people from becoming high-ranking officers.

In the old era, no matter which country, those who could become middle and high-level officers, except for some black sheep, were basically more "patriotic", and their sense of belonging to the Star Alliance was very low, so it was not a good thing for these people to enter the middle and high levels of the Star Alliance army on a large scale, so this kind of people, even if they joined the Star Alliance, basically the captain was their limit. Only a small number of officers who are basically untendentious, such as Kwon Jin and Yarehenisson, have the opportunity to be promoted.

So the current situation is that in the Star Alliance military system, there is an extreme shortage of middle-level officers, and there is basically no leftover. This led to the establishment of the task force allocated to Maria Hill, there are warships, there are soldiers, but there are no officers, including the Overwatch unit transferred to Maria Hill, although the number has not changed, but in fact, the older generation of Overwatch has long become the middle-level officers of each fleet, and now among the Overwatch, they are actually new recruits, although they are also very elite, but they can fight according to orders, and become officers? Forget it.

And don't look at the small size of the task force, except for the flagship Akikaze no Atsu, only ten battleships were given, including two first-class battleships, two second-class cruisers, and six frigates.

According to the fleet establishment of the Star Alliance, this can be said to be very precious, because the standard establishment of the top ten fleets is 30-40 first-class capital ships, 70-80 second-class capital ships, and 400-500 auxiliary ships such as frigates, which is very large.

But this does not mean that the size of the task force is really bad, in fact, the strength of the Star Alliance's fleet is seriously excessive compared to the current status of the Star Alliance in the galaxy.

According to the classification of civilization levels in the galaxy today, under normal circumstances, a civilization like the earth that has just stepped out of the home planet cannot even be a third-class civilization, and a civilization that is less than a third-class is basically an object of enslavement in the galaxy, and only when it reaches a third-class civilization can it have such a lost right to speak.

And what is considered a third-class civilization? Zetari is a standard third-class civilization, but what is the strength of its fleet? In addition to the two more exaggerated motherships, the Templar One and the Templar Two, there are five or six hundred frigates, and the total number of ships is equivalent to one of the main fleets of the Star Alliance.

Although there are no first-class and second-class battleships, this is not that Zetari does not build warships of this class, but under the same level of science and technology, a fleet with a Templar-class mothership as the core can exert combat effectiveness not much worse than a fleet composed of more than a dozen first-class battleships as the core, so in the case of a Templar-class mothership, it is naturally impossible for Zetari to create a conventional first- and second-class battleship, and the amount of resources required for this level of civilized mothership is very large, The Zetarians also did not have the resources to build more first- and second-class ships.

In other words, the entire fleet of the Zetari civilization, together with the two Templar-class motherships, is comparable to the strength of the main fleet of the Star Alliance.

Third-class civilizations are like this, second-class civilizations are not much stronger, Vulcan and the other five civilizations that joined the Star Alliance, as well as the rest of the subsidiary civilizations that originally belonged to Bradat and later defected to the Nova Empire, are basically standard second-class civilizations.

These civilizations do not have motherships of the Templar class, and in fact, it is impossible for normal second- and third-class civilizations to spend huge resources to build a mothership of this scale, although this level of motherships has a great strategic deterrent effect, but ordinary civilizations simply cannot afford to raise them. Therefore, their capital ships are first-class ships similar to the standards of the Star Alliance, taking the Vulcans, the most powerful of the five civilizations that joined the Star Alliance, as an example, although the fleet size is different, the number of first-class ships of the main force of the entire civilization is only seventy or eighty, and the number of second-class ships is only about hundreds. And the weakest Bejiu people, there are only more than forty first-class ships, and no more than 100 second-class ships.

Basically, even if the 5 civilizations are bankrupt combined, the total number of capital ships is not comparable to the Star Alliance, and after being transferred by the Star Alliance, the rest can barely defend the mainland.

In other words, the strength of the Star Alliance's fleet is far beyond that of the regular second- and third-class civilizations, so compared to the total number of Star Alliance fleets, the scale of the extremely delicate task force is actually not lower, plus there is the Autumn Wind Mound, a super first-class battleship, its comprehensive strength is already much worse than the Zetari fleet that does not invade the earth.

Such a fleet, the number of officers needed will naturally not be less, not to mention the special tasks of the task force, the required officer requirements are also higher, the middle-level officers of the ordinary fleet to the task force, I am afraid that they may not be able to do it, not to mention that the chief officers of the ten major fleets themselves are short of people, and they are not willing to transfer people to Maria Hill.

So Maria Hil thought about it and finally made a request to lift the enrollment restrictions.

"Yes, I'll give you this permission, but the final list needs to be reviewed, are there any other requirements?" In the face of Maria Hill's request, in the end, Chris made the decision.

"I've heard that the Research Department and the Equipment Department have a group of experimental fighters and equipment ......," Maria Hill looked at Ariel Hansen and Stark.

"It's not a big problem, it just so happens that we also need some actual combat data." Ariel Hansen and Stark looked at each other before speaking.

"Then it's decided, the things that should be discussed have been discussed, let's go and dismiss the meeting!" Chris nodded, declared the meeting over, and then disappeared directly into the conference room, and after he disappeared, the other participants also disappeared into the conference room...... At this time, Chris was in the mission to the Nova Empire, so the participants were only holograms, not only him, but the generals here were very busy, and the stations were not in one place, and the participants were all just holograms.
