Chapter 863 - The Concept of Military Development
After reading this report, which was personally responsible for Chen Xing and collated, Ji Hao felt a little relieved about the current situation.
In fact, the gap between the Star Dragon Empire's fleet and the Star Alliance is not large, and in some respects it is even surpassed, and he was completely frightened by the spaceship against the wind.
But think about it for now.
Aside from the fact that the ship was impressive in terms of size, materials, and space jumping technology, it didn't have too impressive technology in other aspects.
In particular, the ship's weapon system is very weak, which is not even comparable to the weapons of the Star Dragon Empire.
However, Ji Hao always thought that it was the technology of 10,000 years ago, and the current Star Alliance should be strong enough, but he didn't expect to see Chen Xing's report, he found that he was too worried.
The Star Alliance's army technology is not bad, and it can be said that it is indeed stronger than them in terms of comprehensiveness, which is mainly reflected in the complete auxiliary functions of their warships, novel technology, and all-round development.
Somewhat similar to the Black Dead's disc-shaped ship.
It's not about shape, it's about the concept of development.
The Black Dead battleship is full of pursuit of average firepower, so the battleship is made into a disc shape, and the firepower of the up, down, left and right is almost as strong.
The battleships of the Star Covenant are the average of the functions pursued, their functions in all aspects are balanced, the auxiliary functions are complete, the entertainment places in the battleship, medical places, catering places, etc., are beautiful and complete, there is no lack of necessary equipment, and even in order to make up for more dispensable equipment, the appearance of the battleship is made strange, and the outstanding thing is that the functions of the battleship are numerous and complete.
Each battleship is a small base, and auxiliary, combat, and maintenance can be carried out at the same time.
Therefore, the ships of the Star Covenant are generally larger. Especially the main battleship, the volume is only a little smaller than the human super battleship, but for this, Ji Yu does not agree with it, in his opinion, the Star Alliance's battleship, the same human battleship, can reduce its volume by two-thirds.
There are too many things added to the Covenant of Covenant ships that don't increase their combat power.
The increase in the size of human warships is to add more powerful weapons and load more dense attack weapons, but the Covenant's warships are to add more auxiliary abilities, which are two development concepts.
The human warship blindly improves its combat effectiveness, and the size of the entire battleship is set to the shape, all of which are changes made for attack, which makes the human warship surpass the warships of the Covenant army in terms of firepower, but it is significantly weaker than the Covenant warships in terms of auxiliary ability, survivability, and sustained combat effectiveness.
One is a high-burst type of battleship, while the other is a smooth, but long-lasting, survivable type of battleship.
An obvious example is that if the Covenant warship is injured, it can immediately execute self-rescue and start repairing, but once the human warship is injured, it can only be rescued by waiting for the supply ship to arrive, otherwise it will withdraw from the battlefield and can no longer continue the battle.
It's hard to say who is strong and who is weak.
Both the human warship and the Star Covenant warship have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on whose hands the warship commands.
However, Ji Yu is obviously more inclined to the offensive type of warship.
According to his thoughts, the Star Alliance's warships can obviously be reduced to smaller, why make them so big, on the battlefield, the larger the battleship, the larger the attack surface it can bear, which is not to find himself happy.
As for survivability, if you don't hurt it, you can't destroy it directly, and on the battlefield, if the high explosion is properly controlled, it is the magic weapon that is invincible and invincible.
Therefore, Ji Yu is more interested in the current warships of the human race, especially the new warships, which are enough for the human army to crush the ordinary fleet of the Star Alliance on the battlefield.
Of course, in addition to this, the Star Alliance's fleet has many other advantages, some of which are things that Ji Hao also has to admit that the army must reform and rectify.
The Covenant's armies are diverse, and the various types of troops are more complex and complete than the human ones, and the division within each legion is very detailed.
A legion has more than 100 million main warships, and there are countless other auxiliary ships.
When each legion goes out in action, it is a theater of operations, and it can be in charge of itself, whether it is logistics or support, it is completely a separate system, which is much stronger than that of human beings, and it is very suitable for cosmic operations.
Each legion has formed a systematic composition to meet the various needs of war, when facing an opponent weaker than itself, a legion can be competent, and when facing an opponent ten times stronger than itself, a legion can also compete in the arena, this is the attribute of the current legion of the Star Alliance.
Each legion is very strong in fighting independently, which is incomparable to the fleet of the Star Dragon Empire.
But there are also many big troubles in this way, and loyalty is the key to it.
The operations in each domain of the Star Dragon Empire need the strong support of the military department, without the support of the military department, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced in an instant, which is conducive to the loyalty of the army and the centralization of power, and the Star Alliance, each legion is a bit like a private army.
For example, the Wind Scar Clan, it is obvious that the Third Legion is almost all the children of the Wind Scar Clan, as long as the Wind Scar is determined to oppose the Star Alliance, as soon as he climbs up and shouts, the Third Legion will inevitably follow him, this is the disadvantage of the Star Alliance army now.
Perhaps it is the reason for the Star Alliance, a coalition that is looser than the Earth Federation, that causes the armies below it to also show a loose coalition model.
Although the Covenant has introduced many policies to restrict the army, such as the fact that the army cannot be stationed and operate across the border without the order of the Covenant headquarters, this still cannot fundamentally solve the privatization of the army.
In Ji Hao's opinion, this kind of joint method is not very clever.
The Earth Federation is only a few hundred years old, but when the Earth Federation existed, everyone would say that they were Federation members, and now the Star Alliance, with a history of hundreds of thousands of years, when every Star Alliance person is asked, they will only say what race they are, and then they will say that they are members of the Star Alliance.
That's the gap.
Of course, there are also different racial reasons at work, after all, although human beings have different skin colors, they are at least the same human race, which is much simpler than the situation of the Star Alliance.
This concept is a bit like Ji Hao's idea that in the future, the scientific research department has developed the military attributes of the space carrier.
When the Star Dragon Empire developed and built the space mothership, the armies of each domain took the space mothership as the center and established a huge auxiliary and supply center, which greatly strengthened the fleet's attack, supply and auxiliary capabilities.
This is the state of formation of the army envisioned by Ji Yu in the future, with the space carrier as the center, not only can greatly strengthen the independent combat capability of each domain fleet, but also can avoid the privatization of each domain fleet, after all, all their material mobilization is still inseparable from the support of the central government, but only strengthens the independent combat capability in wartime.
