The sixth year of the Terra Ideal City project.

The anti-gang and anti-evil operation led by Laurent was successfully completed. Many of his Space Marines and Astral Troops were sent to study at the Military Academy or the Military Theory School of the Social University. There is not much difference between the two colleges, one is under the administration of the army, and the other is under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Due to the large number of officers, for the time being, only officers above the squad level entered the school. The rest of the soldiers are temporarily led by the Imperial Fist Warband. Become a transport team to improve their coordination by transporting resources.

But even if only officers above the squad level participated in the study, there were nearly 10,000 people.

Sivir alone can't do it anyway. So, it wasn't Sivier who served as their teacher, but Siwell's recent graduates.

Hundreds of first-term students taught by Sivier have completed a five-year study program. Now they will be the teachers of these Space Marines and the Astral Army, teaching them new military knowledge.

Sivir has revealed in advance that all the officers above the company level in the future empire will come out of the military academy. In the future, the Empire will open military academies to every galaxy. Those who have not undergone systematic study are prohibited from holding positions at or above the company level.

Now these who have already served as imperial officers will also have to enter the military academy one by one to further their studies before they can continue to lead the troops.

Those who fail to pass the grades and cannot successfully graduate will be temporarily deprived of their military rank and position. Only by successfully completing their studies can they return to the army.

This kind of command may seem impersonal, and there are many problems. But this is a decision made by Sivir after careful consideration.

There are many reasons for the huge gap in the combat effectiveness of the empire's armed forces, but the main one is the problem of equipment. The extreme imbalance in equipment is an important factor affecting combat effectiveness.

Now, due to the problem of equipment supply, other factors that affect combat effectiveness are not so important. Orangutans with machine guns are indeed more powerful than humans with bare hands.

However, in the future, the empire will be greatly increased in productivity through technological development. Even if the Astral Army has trillions, the Empire will definitely be able to do a good job of logistics and deliver the equipment to the soldiers accurately.

At that time, equipment will certainly not be the main factor restricting the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Now the many problems hidden within the Astral Army will be revealed.

The Astral Army recruits from one planet in a single conscription and then forms a full corps with its own commander, logistics, and troop backbone.

However, it is important to note that due to the cultural diversity of the planets within the Empire, even the precise details of some of the basic elements of the Corps may vary depending on the culture of the Legion's home planet.

Once these Astral Corps are formed, they are usually not further replenished. Most of the personnel of an Astral Corps, even non-combatants, will come from its founding planet, but the commissar assigned to the regiment will always be outsiders.

Without reinforcements, regiments may find themselves depleted in casualties until they are completely destroyed in battle or allowed to stay on a planet for a long time because of their achievements. But the former is more likely to happen than the latter.

Okay, now let's look at the many problems with the Astral Army.

First of all, these astral armies from different worlds have different formations, different customs, different weapons, and different fighting styles. As a result, it is almost impossible for the various astral armies to cooperate with each other. It's not called a coordinated battle when you charge together.

Moreover, a corps of the Astral Army usually comes from a planet, and they set out from their hometown, arrive at the battlefield by transport ship, and rush to the next battlefield after the battle, with little effort to recruit soldiers until all of them are killed.

However, some Astral Corps that have the opportunity to recruit soldiers will find that due to cultural differences, new recruits may not adapt well to the culture of their own legion. After joining the troops, it may even pull down the combat effectiveness of the troops.

So, wouldn't it be enough to recruit troops from your home planet to replenish them?

Sorry, but the "efficient administration" of the empire could not do it to such an extent.

And, even if the Empire could do it, it wouldn't necessarily do so.

The Empire's attitude towards the Astral Army is entirely towards consumables. Except for some famous, powerful Astral Corps. Most of the Astral Corps have been transported to various battlefields since their birth, and they have been fighting in battle until the entire army is destroyed. The Empire then builds a new Astral Corps to supplement it.

Sivir wants to change that.

The era when human life was cheaper than a gun is coming to an end.

Since the empire has ordered the concept of quantity, then Sivir has come to the concept of quality.

Sivir should build an armed force that combines all branches of the armed forces and has the capability of joint operations, contrasts the two, and follows the road of "elite troops, combined forces, and high efficiency." Build a high-tech, regularized imperial army.

Sivir will form a new Imperial Legion. They are the elite soldiers of the Star Sea Empire, selected from all worlds. They have been trained to be ruthless killing machines and have an almost fanatical loyalty to the Empire.

The Astral Army will have a new definition - a ground assault force composed of armored troops and infantry; fire support forces consisting of artillery, air defense, army aviation; An operational support force composed of reconnaissance, communications, engineering, anti-chemical warfare, meteorological and electronic countermeasures specialized units.

The various planetary defense units have also accelerated their transformation from a quantitative and large-scale model to a quality-and-efficiency type, and from a direct combat type to a support and support type, and have made efforts to achieve close integration, complementary advantages, mutual promotion, and coordinated development with the building of the Astral Army.

The Imperial Navy will also train new talents at the Fleet Academy. In order to prepare the newly recruited crew for battle, they must have a competent commander to lead them. The Fleet Academy will ensure that these officers fully understand the latest doctrines and are proficient in interstellar warfare.

The two forces will learn what joint operations are in future battles. The Imperial Navy will use its long-range precision strike and strategic projection capabilities to cooperate with ground forces in orbital bombardment or material support.

By adopting the mode of coordinated operations between the air and the ground, combined with their innate advantages, we can give full play to the overall combat efficiency, improve the utilization rate of weapons and equipment of various arms of the armed forces, and then quickly adapt to the complex and changeable battlefields of various battlefields.

"Unified command, unified system, unified establishment, unified discipline, and unified training." We are building a disciplined army, and our commanders are working hard to ensure that the troops are well trained. From now on, the Empire will follow this precept to begin a comprehensive system of military regulations.
