...... Mrs. Elmeida and the Council put their trust in Risen in particular. Lieutenant Colonel Nigaure's spirit, ability, and enthusiasm for the League, and unwavering support for the cause of freedom. Lieutenant Colonel Nigaul was promoted to Colonel of the Resistance League...... "In the solemn voice of an officer, Admiral Martin, oh, now the official title of this general should be Admiral Martin, the commander-in-chief of the Resistance Alliance's Starfleet, and also the commander of the Seventh Fleet, carefully put a pair of colonel's rank insignia on him.

The rebel alliance has received major reinforcements, and for the first time it has been determined that it has a vast star field and galaxy under its full control, and has gained valuable strategic space and depth, and the scattered operations of small fleets and guerrilla warfare in the past have gradually shown a tendency to be unable to keep up with the development of the new situation, and the reorganization and regularization of the alliance's military strength has finally been put on the agenda after the return of Mrs. Almeda. It is the alliance interstellar combat fleet that represents the most important combat power of the alliance, the original several fleets still maintain the original number after the reorganization, although no new fleet has been added, and even reduced (the remnants of the second fleet have been merged into the third fleet), but the internal composition of each fleet has been very different from the original formation, taking the seventh fleet as an example, the Raider space carrier was assigned to the ninth fleet, and the core of the current fleet of the seventh fleet is composed of three galaxy-class space carriers reinforced by the Federation, plus battleships and cruisers, With the full number of aircraft on board, the entire fleet exceeded forty or fifty aircraft, making it the most powerful fleet in the alliance.

As the commander of this core fleet. As one of the League's oldest generals, and one of the key leaders who led the League through the most difficult stage and ushered in the dawn of victory, General Martin was also naturally awarded the rank of Admiral when the rank of general was redrawn, and received the unanimous support of the League as the new Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance Fleet.

In terms of other fleets,

Vice Admiral Kirk's Third Fleet consisted of two fast space carriers, the USS Liberator and the returned Raider, as the core of the fleet, and Vice Admiral Wu Ming's Fourth Fleet except for the Victor. A fast space carrier, the Sweeper, has also been added. The ship, which was originally the flagship of Admiral Alfred of the Ninth Fleet, was assigned to the Fourth Fleet. However, Rear Admiral Alfred only verbally complained about it, and then turned his attention to his new flagship, which was now replaced by the original Imperial space carrier Constellation, which was captured during the Battle of the XY-1984 domain, and was renamed the Challenger in honor of the Alliance's first battle-damaged space carrier, the Challenger, and the fleet was also replenished with an old Imperial-class space carrier, the Voyager, which was recently acquired from the Federation. In this way, the strength of the Ninth Fleet is actually stronger than before.

With the rapid expansion of the fleet, the shortcomings of the insufficient number of interstellar fighters in each fleet were immediately highlighted, and there was a considerable gap between the actual number of interstellar fighters and the number of interstellar fighters in each fleet, generally less than half of the number of establishments, for the following reasons:

Large-scale battles were fought in succession, despite the Allies' victories. But it is also quite damaged. The number of starfighters has plummeted considerably......

At this critical point where the fighters are urgently needed to be replenished, the production line of the Lightning Star Fighter originally located in the Siberian system has been sharply reduced due to the withdrawal and reconstruction, and it will take some time to return to the peak of production. Thanks to the federal assistance, the two newly established Starfighter production lines have just reached the end of the project, and it will take a certain amount of time before they are put into production, reaching the peak of production, and I don't know when it will be......

Most of the federally aided space carriers, battleships, and cruisers are empty shelves, at most a few old-fashioned Hellcats, and it is not so easy to fill these black holes of fighters, even if the old-fashioned banshees, Hellcats, etc. are looted into the fleet, it is still a drop in the bucket......

Compared with the shortage of hardware, in terms of personnel, the gap is even greater, and a large number of interstellar ships reinforced by the Federation are only equipped with basic personnel, in order to give full play to the combat effectiveness of warships, it is also necessary to add a large number of personnel to the ship, to "operate" and pilot those powerful interstellar warships and fighters, although the alliance recruits a large number of recruits from the various star systems under its control, and a large number of personnel are transferred from many transport ships and cargo ships to supplement the starfleet, but it is still not enough, especially for well-trained crews, experienced starfighter pilots, Skilled ground crew, the demand is greater, many of them were called rookies by their predecessors not long ago, and now they are just 'slightly' faded and have some experience, and they have been promoted, a captain instructor at an overcrowded starfighter training center in the alliance commented on this: the fleet is currently in dire need of pilots, many young people who never thought of being starfighter pilots even in their dreams, and now they have received medical examination notices and have the opportunity to test their luck in the simulator. Ability and skills, many people are looking forward to becoming the next Risen Rise. Nigaul ......

In response

The large demand for personnel in the large expansion of the team, the alliance has expanded the training models accordingly, and even changed an empire-class space carrier, a battleship and several cruisers and destroyers into training ships, but the training of personnel is not something that can be completed overnight, it needs to go through long-term training and running-in, in the short term, it is not necessary to rely on these newcomers who have just entered the fleet to support the alliance fleet, in fact, after evaluation, the combat effectiveness of the alliance's fleets after the expansion is not as good as before, of course, This is only temporary, once the training and run-in of personnel is completed, the super shipyard is successfully rebuilt, the fighter production line reaches the peak of production, and the number of fighters is fully replenished, the military strength of the alliance will usher in a leap and bound.

Until then, though......

The Alliance is sometimes glad that their security work has always been good, and the Imperial intelligence is not always so timely, and they don't know that most of the Alliance's new reinforcements are empty, perhaps because they are also worried about the movement of the Federation forces in the border system, the crushing defeat they have just suffered, or ...... In short, the Empire did not rush to launch another purge at this critical moment, but was only satisfied with preventing and preventing the Alliance's infiltration and attack, and allowing the Resistance League to obtain a fatal period of reorganization.

However, this does not mean that the alliance can be relaxed, and it is still the top priority of the fleets to let the fleets form combat effectiveness and let the pilots grow up as soon as possible.

It is precisely because of these many reasons that many people put their ideas on the pilots of the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet, and it is not surprising that most of the pilots of the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet are genuine old birds, and many of them are still old birds among the old birds. However, the move of digging into the corner of the wall was soon met with a nose in front of Admiral Martin's order, and because of a secret mission, the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet not only did not move the original pilots, but also had to draw pilots from other fleets to fill the vacancies, so that the admiral's attention would be aroused, so that the already scarce pilots of the fleet would be transferred away, and many figures would disappear at once, as quickly as they could, and as far as they could

The Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet has been staying out of the tide of the reorganization and regularization of the whole army, as if it has nothing to do with it, just burying its head in the preparations for the upcoming dispatch to the rear of the Empire, however, it is not completely unchanged, at least their ranks have changed a little bit, most of them are in the reform of the officer personnel system that is more inclined to let the actual combat commander be promoted, because of the previous excellent performance and have been promoted, Ruison and Yao Feilun have been promoted to colonel, only one step away from the general, If this mission is a complete success, destroying the dangerous sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Alliance and the Federation, and obtaining the technology of the epoch-making Star Cruiser's new generation of space jumping devices, then it is not surprising that they will be promoted to generals in their twenties, and once the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet completes its mission, it will also be expanded like other fleets, and with a large group of elite old birds in the fleet, it is almost a sure thing that the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet will be upgraded to a main fleet similar to the Seventh Fleet.

Others, Schneier was promoted to major, Jessica became captain, and Sonia was promoted to captain. Yang is now a lieutenant colonel, almost all of them have been promoted by one rank, and several lieutenant colonels who are still captains of destroyers are already discussing when to give them a new ship, perhaps, even after this mission, the alliance also lacks a battleship commander.......

"Rise. Colonel Nigaul. Admiral Martin looked at Reson, who was in high spirits with his new rank, and first raised his right hand in salute. Congratulations. ”

"Thank you, Admiral, and you too." Risen quickly raised his hand in salute almost at the same time as the admiral, "I haven't even had time to congratulate you." ”

"Haha, it's nothing, everyone can afford it." Admiral Martin lowered his hand and patted Risen on the shoulder, "I bet you'll get to this position faster than I do." ”

"You've won the award, and I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I'm not particularly looking forward to it, I think the colonel is almost at the end."

"Oh? Young man, how can you think so? The admiral was quite strange, and said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and Risen does not want to be a general, but he is undoubtedly a good soldier.

"This," Risen said with some regret that he had accidentally talked about the worries in his heart, and he thought for a moment, "Sir, I am a fighter pilot, and the higher I rise, the fewer opportunities I have to fly the plane, especially after becoming a general, I will basically never have a chance to go out again." ”

"I see," the admiral smiled, "don't worry, Risson, I'm sure you'll figure out how to get used to it." ”
