According to the previous distribution of troops in the Muller Federation, there were a total of seven integrated fleets, but the total strength has been maintained at about 30 million, which translates to the strength of each fleet is not even 5 million.

But in fact, this is less than 5 million troops, but it is enough to ensure the operation of an integrated fleet, because in a non-war state, the fleet does not need a large number of ground landing troops, and this part is where an integrated fleet needs to be expanded to 100 million troops in a state of war to be able to operate perfectly.

For example, an Antu-2 main ship needs about 100,000 troops when it is fully manned, but in a non-war state, only about 1,000 soldiers are needed to operate the main ship.

Of the 99,000 or so soldiers after the expansion, 50,000 are the ground forces carried by the main ship, 20,000 of them are to supplement the army, and the remaining 29,000 are the people who are expanded to operate the main ship.

This involves a very serious problem, that is, the situation of transporting troops in the starry sky, in the war on the planet, the transport of troops can be in a military column, or even on foot, but in the starry sky, there is only one way to transport troops, that is, warships.

This is the reason for the rapid expansion of the fleet's forces in a real state of war.

Friction towards the general border, or a battle against interstellar pirates, because there is no need to think about occupation and other issues, so the main ship only needs to maintain about a thousand troops to complete the battle.

But this war between the Federation and the Empire has become a full-scale war, a war of annihilation. The entire Twin Eagle Empire occupies a single river system. There are hundreds of millions of planets, and after removing those unsuitable resource stars, there are more than 100,000 planets left.

Such a huge star field. With more than five trillion Imperials scattered across so many planets, if you just want to plunder and leave, you naturally don't need ground troops.

But if you want to really occupy these planets, the current five billion troops in the federal district are far from enough. According to the analysis of the Front Command, if the Federation wants to completely destroy the empire, it needs to expand its forces to at least about 100 billion. It is possible to truly defeat and destroy the Twin Eagle Empire.

That's a terrifying astronomical number, but 100 billion troops are put into a river system, hundreds of millions of stars. But it's pitifully small.

In the calculations of the Front Command, although most of the current people of the Double Eagle Empire are concentrated in the 100,000 administrative stars, in addition to these administrative stars, the Double Eagle Empire still has more than three million resource stars that need to be controlled and occupied by the Federation.

If you can't control these resource stars. This war cannot really end. With the technological strength of the Twin Eagle Empire, even if there is only one resource star left, it can rearm a reorganized fleet and pose a threat to the Federation's occupation.

In short, I don't know if I don't know it, and after really reading the analysis and battle reports on the front line, Li Tomb can really feel how complicated it is to fight an interstellar war and how much manpower and material resources need to be used. It is an unimaginable astronomical amount.

And most importantly, once this war continues. The casualties caused are the real headaches, not to mention that the number of Union soldiers killed in the front-line war has exceeded a million, and this number may increase indefinitely in the later period.

It is no longer the era before World War II, and in the early days of World War II, war casualties were not so terrible, because at that time, the mainstream of warship configuration was still dominated by robots, supplemented by humans.

But after the rise of the kingdom of heaven on earth, no country dared to use a large number of intelligent robots in the later stage of World War II, and it was all up to human lives to fill it, otherwise there would be a terrible fact, today you created a million intelligent robot soldiers in order to reduce the casualties of soldiers, and tomorrow you will find that these intelligent robot soldiers have all defected.

The position of the earthly heavenly kingdom in the universe is far more powerful than it is now showing, and it can even be said that the earthly heavenly kingdom is equivalent to an ordinary great power in a non-war state, but once it enters a state of war, the earthly heavenly kingdom is undoubtedly one of the superpowers.

Otherwise, ASEAN would not have had a significant advantage in strength, and after World War II, it would have had to accept the fact that the West would continue to exist.

This country, which can infinitely storm troops as long as it has resources, and is even rational enough to never make mistakes, may only be comparable to ordinary powers in terms of economic strength, but the war potential is that even the Xilin Empire and the southeastern allies should also be afraid.

So although the Earth Heaven Kingdom has not really declared war on the Muller Federation, Li Tomb will not be stupid enough to use a large number of intelligent robots in the army, and in fact other countries are the same.

Looking at the entire universe, after the end of World War II, military soldiers have fully turned to human soldiers, and intelligent robots have completely withdrawn from the war arena of other countries.

It sounds like a good thing, because at the peak of the development of intelligent robots, many people complained that intelligent robots took away their jobs, but in fact, if there was no assembly line production of intelligent robots, it would be impossible for any country to have such a huge star field territory now.

To give a simple example, before the appearance of the earthly kingdom of heaven, the development of a resource star may only need hundreds of people to complete, but now this number has expanded a hundred times.

Li even suspected that the reason why the Muller Federation did not start developing the new river system for a long time after the discovery of the new river system was because Tian Guang could not find enough people to develop the new river system.

After all, there are still many resource stars in the federation that belong to the state of mothballing, not for any protection of resources or the like, but purely because of insufficient manpower.

A mere three trillion Federation people, divided evenly among hundreds of millions of stars, can only be divided into a few thousand people on a planet, or even less, in this situation, if other threats are not considered, the Federation may not have to worry about the depletion of resources in the next 10,000 years, or even longer.

This is also the reason why after World War II, many people felt that the third space war could not break out. The star field shrouded in the modern universe is too big, but because of the existence of the heavenly kingdom on earth, it is impossible for other countries to complete the development through the crazy manufacture of intelligent robots.

As a result, almost all countries in the universe are now facing the problem of underpopulation and sparse population. This can be felt from the historical statements of the leaders of many major ASEAN countries, which are no longer bothered by the lack of territory and resources, but by the lack of manpower.

However, the existence of aristocracy, the possibility of higher evolution, and the indifference of ordinary people to reproduction in modern society have led to the number of newborns decreasing year by year, and the population crisis has become a troublesome problem for most ASEAN countries.

The Western Covenant side is better, under the rule of a powerful empire, the population of the Western Covenant side is now several times that of the ASEAN side, not considering the fertility problems of those alien civilizations such as silicon-based civilizations, Zerg civilizations, etc., even the population growth of the general ordinary human empire is still the envy of ASEAN countries.

Therefore, many so-called military experts in modern society are exclaiming that once the third space war begins, ASEAN may lose the war without any suspense, and the threat brought by the demographic dividend will be enough to offset ASEAN's superiority in science and technology.

It sounds sensational, but when you think about it, it's not impossible. Under the threat of heaven on earth, the state of war of the past has been phased out.

During World War I, the era of a battle for a river system, with soldiers on both sides losing no more than tens of thousands, and consuming hundreds of millions of intelligent robots, has long ended.

The era of what many people call the war of civilization is long gone, and the war of the present day will be countless times more brutal than the time of the First World War.

Coupled with the emergence of truth-level weapons and rule-level weapons, many people know that once the war starts, it will definitely be the end of civilization and racial extermination.

In addition, there are many other problems brought about by a real interstellar war, but Li Tomb has no time to sort them out one by one, when his spaceship arrived at the front line of the war between the Federation and the Empire, and landed on Kanmen Star, the base camp of the front-line military headquarters, the fleet vanguard sent by the Black Prison Empire has already arrived at the Double Eagle Empire, and has made substantial contact with the Double Eagle Empire's rebel army.

So before he had time to flesh out his understanding of interstellar warfare and deal with the problems exposed by the front-line war, the first thing he had to face was how to deal with the more brutal war that was about to begin.

"Where is the Black Prison Empire's vanguard fleet?"

After getting off the spaceship, before he had time to participate in the welcoming banquet that Ram had prepared for him, Li Tomb hurriedly walked towards the military base.

"It's already Fia. The news that our spies have just arrived, as if due to the use of new technology, the fleet of the Black Prison Empire may arrive two days earlier than expected. ”

Ram's expression was solemn, and he quickly followed behind Li Tomb, reporting in a low voice.

Li Tomb's footsteps stopped and glanced at Ram, "Two days in advance?" And what about the fleet of the Korean-Vietnamese Empire? Are they using the same new technology? Is it possible to arrive early? ”

"I've ordered someone to check it out at once. The exact circumstances are unclear. ”

Ram wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.

Li Tomb glanced at Ram with some disappointment, Ram is not a qualified army commander after all, small-scale interstellar pirate plunder, maybe Ram can do it well, but when it comes to such a huge interstellar war, Ram can only be said to be far from qualified.

"Let people immediately look it up and find a way to find information about this new technology. Before the meeting begins, I would like to get specific information. ”

Li Tomb's gaze became stern and he looked at Ram, "At least you have to let me know what kind of speed this new technology has improved!" A gap of two whole days, which is enough to disrupt everything we had before! ”

"Yes, I understand. I immediately called someone to investigate. ”

Ram nodded repeatedly. (To be continued......)
