23 years of the new federal calendar.

The Pioneer Fleet Command, located in the Dwarf Galaxy of Jade, was officially established.

In the same year, the reorganization of the pioneer fleet was completed.

After the reorganization, the pioneer fleet was organized into four corps, and under each corps, there were three fleets.

In the first legion, the corps commander Duan Xingke acted as an agent, and at the same time promoted Duan Xingke to the rank of brigadier general.

The Second Army, the corps commander Lu Feng, was promoted to the rank of major general at the same time.

The third legion, the corps commander Luo Hao, was promoted to the rank of major general at the same time.

In the Fourth Army Corps, the corps commander Mu Qianshan still maintained the rank of brigadier general and temporarily acted as the corps commander.

After all, Mu Qianshan's promotion to brigadier general was too short, and it was not enough to be promoted again.

Except for Duan Xingke and Mu Qianshan, the other two became major generals of the Federation, with the same rank as Jiang Xingchen.

However, although they have the same military ranks, they are still Jiang Xingchen's subordinates.

No one has any objection to this, because they know very well that Jiang Xingchen becoming a brigadier general is already a sure thing.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just been promoted to major general, the military department would have directly awarded him the rank of lieutenant general.

Therefore, if it is two or three years fast, or four or five years at the slowest, Jiang Xingchen will definitely wear the rank of lieutenant general.

And Lu Feng and Luo Hao, if they want to become lieutenant generals, according to the current promotion system of the Federal Military Department, they will have at least twenty years of seniority.

Speaking of which, Luo Hao is the most emotional of the four.

You know, in more than twenty, nearly thirty years ago, the Federation built the first Wuluo-class destroyer.

At that time, Luo Hao was the captain of the Wuluo-class destroyer, and Jiang Xingchen was his lieutenant.

However, after all these years have passed.

Jiang Xingchen has become the commander-in-chief of the entire development fleet, and although Luo Hao has also been promoted all the way to become the commander of the legion, he has in turn become Jiang Xingchen's subordinate.

However, he didn't have any opinion on Jiang Xingchen.

After all, Jiang Xingchen was the most optimistic person he was back then, the leader of the younger generation.

At that time, he knew that in the future, this kid would inevitably grow into one of the leaders of the Federation.

I just didn't think of it...

This future is just emerging so fast.

Pioneer Fleet Command.

Conference room.

At this moment, hundreds of virtual screens were turned on in the air.

And on each screen, the information of a federal officer is displayed, and these people are at least the rank of colonel, and there are more than a dozen brigadier generals.

After all, the task of developing the fleet is very heavy, and it is necessary to improve the structure and operate it as soon as possible.

But there's a problem here.

That is, although the structure has been built, there are many gaps in the commanders used to fill the structure.

You must know that according to the current structure of the pioneer fleet, each legion includes three federal standard fleets, that is, an establishment of 30,000 warships.

The senior commander of the fleet alone needed twelve people.

And these twelve people are not just anyone, they must have the ability to command 10,000 warships.

However, in the original four fleets, the commanders of those detachments were colonels.

After a series of internal assessments, it was found that it was barely enough to let them command hundreds or a thousand warships.

But if you command tens of thousands of warships...

Of all the colonel commanders of the detachment, only two passed this examination.

And the fleet commander still has a gap of ten people.

Therefore, Jiang Xingchen directly approached the military department.

Just one word.

I, Jiang Xingchen, want someone!

The military department didn't say anything, and directly except for the Federation Corps in the other two fleets, some necessary positions, so that Jiang Xingchen could choose people from among them at will.

So, it appeared in the current scene.

The commander, along with the four corps commanders, nestled in the conference room.

Look at the information of each Federation legion, as well as the combat records of previous commands, and select the right talent.

At this moment, the four legion commanders were all very serious.

After all, the selected people will command the legion under them in the future, and no one wants a person with poor ability, right?

Otherwise, wouldn't you be digging a hole for yourself?

It's just that these picks and chooses, and they also pick out so 4 or 5 people.

After all, the current Federation is only twenty-three years old, and before that, except for a few people from the Canglan Rebellion, they had some command experience.

The rest were slave-born and had no relevant experience.

After that, the Federation also fought a few years of war, and again did not have much time to train a sufficient number of experienced front-line commanders.

Therefore, the Federation fleet is still seriously lacking in high-level talents.

And just when the five of them were a little difficult, Jiang Xingchen's portable terminal suddenly rang.

"I'm Jiang Xingchen."

"Xingchen, I'm Gao Tianyang."

Gao Tianyang, once a five-star general of the Star Sea Federation, and the commander-in-chief of the Blue Star's final defense line.

Today he is the Chief of the General Staff of the Federal Military Department.

At the same time, Jiang Xingchen heard Jiang Zhuliu say that Gao Tianyang hugged himself when he was just born.

So...

"Uncle Gao, is there something wrong with me?"

"Well, it's true, didn't you look for the military department before, and wanted to select some people with enough fleet command experience and ability to enter the development fleet?"

"Yes, there is."

"How's the selection now?"

"This... Even if some of the requirements are lowered, at present, only five people can be selected from the people selected by the military department. ”

Sighing slightly, Jiang Xingchen said.

"That's just right, I have a group of candidates here, and you can also pick and choose from them."

"Uncle Gao, isn't the batch of candidates given to me by the military department already included, and all the candidates in the other two fleets except for the central post?"

"You kid, I will still cheat you, don't worry, the batch of candidates I gave you are all with actual combat experience, and the command of the fleet is at least more than thirty years."

"What?"

Good guys, it's only been twenty-three years since the new federation was founded.

Commanding the fleet for at least thirty years?

Where did it come from?

Wait, could it be?

"Uncle Gao, is it from Lanxing?"

"Or else?"

Well, Jiang Xingchen suddenly realized.

Indeed, whether it was the rebels of the former rebellion or the hundreds of billions of humans who were rescued later, they all had an obvious flaw, that is, experience.

Even those who were once rebels lacked experience in commanding large fleets.

But now in the Federation, there is a group of people who are exceptional.

That's...

Officers of the Old Union.

Ever since the rescue of Blue Star, there has always been a very embarrassing problem.

That's what those officers of the old Star Sea Federation are going to do?

It's not that today's military department is xenophobic and doesn't want them to enter the military department and continue to serve.

Rather, among these officers of the old federation, there were a large number of major generals, lieutenant generals.

After all these people are filled in, they will account for the majority of the high-level officers in the military department today, even if the high-level military department has no opinions, but the people below will definitely have opinions.

So, after several years, this problem has not been solved well.

But at this moment, in the face of Jiang Xingchen's embarrassment of lack of people, these former commanders of the Star Sea Federation are undoubtedly a good medicine.

But...

After these people come in, there may be a bunch of brigadier generals, major generals, or even lieutenant generals.

And then you let four corps commanders who only have major generals, or even brigadier generals, go to command a bunch of major generals, lieutenant generals?

Isn't that a joke?

is still the same sentence, even if Jiang Xingchen has no opinion, the military department will agree to this happening.

"Uncle Gao, I really want the people on your side, but the key is whether the military department will agree, after all..."

"Don't worry, I've already talked to them all, all of them will be demoted two levels, and then they will enter your pioneer fleet to serve. ”

"Uncle Gao, wouldn't this be too wronged for them?"

"What's wronged, they are all people who have been fleet commanders for decades, and they are about to come out of the blue star in the past few years, and now as long as they can have the opportunity to return to the fleet, let alone demote two levels, they are willing to start from the big head soldiers."

In the communication, Gao Tianyang said indifferently.

"Okay, I'll make a report to the military department..."

"No need, I've already said it from the military department, now I'll pass the information to you, and report the list directly after selecting people."

"Okay, I see."

Soon, not long after the communication hung up, Gao Tianyang sent the information over.

However, after opening this information, all five people were dumbfounded.

1,785 former federal colonels.

Former federal brigadier generals 82 people.

21 former federal major generals.

7 former federal lieutenant generals.

1 former federal general.

Good guys, there are nearly 2,000 people...

Moreover, there is even a federal general ...

But it's normal to think about it, after all, the former Star Sea Federation has developed for so many years, and the number of high-level commanders will definitely not be less.

And in the final battle, the remaining commanders of the entire Star Sea Federation can be concentrated on the moon base, the final line of defense, and the blue star.

Although this number is less than 10% compared to the heyday of the Federation.

But in the current federal seriousness, it is still a very large number.

The bottom line is that it's not just about the number of people.

All of them are systematically professionally trained and have many years of experience in commanding fleets.

And so.

The five of them are once again dedicated...

Happy and painful selection process.
