spnAs the empire's large-scale recruitment work proceeds, it is the best time to establish the empire's first fleet.

"Your Majesty, in the past month, qualified students from the training camp have been added to the battleship force. Although it still takes a while to become fully proficient in operating the battleship, at least they can operate the battleship."

Early in the morning, Imperial Space Force battleship commander Sun Xiwu happily reported to Zhang Shusheng.

Before this large-scale replenishment of battleships, although the battleships Zhang Shusheng bought did not sit there waiting to rust, most of them were still temporarily allocated to major military academies and training camps so that the battleships could be trained and used in advance.

.

"It seems like it's time to establish our empire's first fleet."[

Zhang Shusheng knew that for an army to have combat effectiveness, it does not mean how many years of training it takes in a training camp, but that it must at least become an army first.

This time, the active warships were recruited from major military academies and training camps, and most of them were officers and soldiers who had been trained for more than three years.

A considerable number of these millions of battleship soldiers came from the battlefields of World War II. They changed into military uniforms and joined military academies and training camps. Their duty as passionate soldiers has not been lost, but their military quality has been greatly improved.

.

On the third day, Zhang Shusheng called Jiang Baili, the Right Chancellor of the State Council, Sun Xiwu, the Space Force warship commander, Zhou Guolai, the Left Chancellor of the Government Affairs Council, Wei Sancai, the Minister of Propaganda, and others to his office.

"This is my final revision of the composition of the Empire's First Fleet. The attachment is about the arrangements for other battleships, that is, the formation of the Solar System Garrison Fleet."

Zhang Shusheng handed several pieces of reorganization information to everyone, which contained details about this fleet reorganization.

Currently, the empire has a total of 41 battleships, 19 cruisers, 8 destroyers, and 18 transport ships. For a first-level civilization, this is an astronomical number.

"Our first fleet will be named Galaxy Fleet. It mainly..."

According to Zhang Shusheng's plan, the Empire's First Fleet must have fierce firepower and be able to undertake the task of attacking fortresses. However, it must not be too bloated and must be able to flexibly cope with a considerable scale of enemy invasion.

As a result, he incorporated all 41 battleships into the First Fleet. Among them, the flagship Zhonghua will not enter regular combat duty, but will belong to the royal family and will be the flagship of the future Imperial Guards Fleet.

He was preparing to carry out a targeted upgrade of the Zhonghua, and there were no redundant battleships for the time being, so he shelved the plan to establish the Guards Fleet.

The Galactic Fleet is responsible for the important task of defending the Empire. It must ensure enough battleships.

The 40 battleships have reached the size of the main fleet of a squadron of the Longshan Empire. What is missing are cruisers and other ships.

The Pan-Human Universe Alliance is a very broad definition, and it is not a unified existence.

In the Pan-Human Universe Alliance, the first-level civilization is undoubtedly at the bottom, and the second-level civilization is only the primary civilization.

According to Zhang Shusheng's idea, a powerful fleet, in addition to a large number of battleships with fierce firepower and strong defense, also has assault ships, Aegis ships, electronic battleships, communication ships, etc.

Unfortunately, these battleships cannot be manufactured by a second-level civilization at all. At the very least, a third-level civilization is required to have a small number of these special battleships with powerful functions and specific uses.

The regular organization of the interstellar fleet of the second-level civilization is very simple, with three major categories: battleships, cruisers, and transport ships (supply ships). At least the Longshan Squadron that Zhang Shusheng encountered outside the Lost Star Territory only had these battleships.

Although destroyers are flexible, they are not suitable for being incorporated into the interstellar fleet. Their speed is slow, their firepower is weak, and their defense is not enough. Even passing through the space jump gate takes much longer.[

The Imperial Galaxy Fleet first includes 40 absolute main battleships, followed by 15 cruisers and 10 transport ships (supply ships), for a tentative total of 65 battleships.

"These 65 warships must undergo certain modifications. The cruisers must strengthen their energy shields, armor and firepower, and the transport ships must strengthen their speed and shields.

In the future, the total number of battleships in the First Fleet will reach 100, and it will need to add 5 battleships and 30 cruisers. In order to achieve the optimal configuration of one to one battleships and cruisers, form a binary firepower unit to facilitate flexible operations."

Although Zhang Shusheng explained this, he was still depressed. He was afraid that he would have to tighten his belt to buy these 35 large warships, so he had to think of a way.

Only the Galaxy Fleet composed of 100 main battleships can protect the empire and guard the star sea in the Lost Star Territory.

"The Galaxy Fleet will be divided into three squadrons. After the construction of the large spaceport in the Trident Star Region is completed in the future, the third squadron will be permanently stationed there.

The First and Second Squadrons are permanently stationed on the moon.

In addition, 4 cruisers, 8 destroyers, and 2 transport ships (gunboat supply ships) will form the Solar System Fleet, mainly responsible for the empire's security and deterrence missions."

The headquarters of the Solar System Fleet is on the moon. If it is to guard against powerful foreign enemies, it is better to guard against those interstellar wandering pirates that may appear, as well as more importantly, internal security.

It does not require a particularly strong lineup, 14 battleships are enough to maintain law and order.

In addition, smaller battleships belong to the defense forces of each planet.

"The Galaxy Fleet will be personally commanded by Sun Xiwu, and the Solar System Fleet will be commanded by Qin Baijiang."

When choosing the commander of the battleship, Zhang Shusheng did not choose from the veteran generals of the past.

The best among them, people like Dai Anlan, will be very good space ground combat commanders and the best candidates for commando commanders. But if they are forced to train them into excellent commanders in all aspects,

It's almost impossible.

Sun Xiwu and Qin Baijiang were both selected through many years of experience and were proven to be excellent commanders.

"Your Majesty, this plan also includes the space commando force, which is about 20 battleships in size. It may take a long time to realize this, right?"

Jiang Baili saw that the space force development and reorganization plan included the battleship part of the interstellar assault force, and became concerned.

"Well, it is necessary for the commandos to deploy their own warships, which of course are mainly escort warships and transport warships. During routine tasks, it is not flexible enough to deploy the military's main warships to escort them.

But now we are in short supply of warships, and we won’t be able to deploy escort warships within a year or two, but transport ships can be deployed.”

Zhang Shusheng explained that there was nothing that could be done about it. The empire was already considered a wealthy nation. But even such an explosion of wealth was not enough to allow countless warships to appear on the earth.

Compared with other first-level civilizations, the empire has been able to bully those countries that have just been promoted to second-level civilizations.

"The expansion plan finalized by His Majesty is very pragmatic, has a certain expansion, and is not blind."[

Sun Xiwu said that although he knew that he was the most likely person to be appointed as the commander of the First Fleet, he was still very excited when His Majesty actually finalized the candidate.

The strength of the empire is increasing day by day. The fleet has grown from small to large, and it will only be a matter of time until it leaves the Lost Star Territory, and now it seems that this speed will become very fast.

"Well, everyone, this is just our short-term plan at the moment. Things are normal. Maybe the route to the Lost Star Territory will be discovered tomorrow. Maybe great trade and war will come tomorrow, so if you do things well now, the future will be better.

There will be no regrets and I wish our fleet will always win!"

Zhang Shusheng asked his secretary to bring him a few cups of Wuliangye and drank them all in one gulp, which was a conclusion to the establishment of the fleet.

The next thing is about Jiang Baili, Cai E, and Sun Xiwu. He, the great emperor, has too many things to worry about.

"When the country comes, you stay, and we go for a walk together."

Zhang Shusheng left Zhou Guolai behind, and the two of them went to the artificial lake behind the office center and took a walk while chatting about political affairs. This was also his habit. They talked about work easily.

"Come on, country, we now have three living planets on hand. The earth is our home planet and the most important habitable planet. We must pay close attention to environmental protection issues. Governance measures must be firm, and environmental protection subsidies must be paid in place."

Zhang Shusheng said sincerely that no one wants the earth to become a dirty, ugly and shabby planet.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. According to our testing, despite the proliferation of new technologies and equipment and the promulgation of new regulations, the air quality is improving every month. We are also solving some long-standing problems."

Zhou Guolai said.

Zhang Shusheng nodded. In fact, the current environment of the earth is not bad. It is much better than when he was originally in the early 21st century.

For example, a river in his hometown was full of smelly water at the beginning of the 21st century. But when he went back to his hometown for a trip in 1951, the river was crystal clear and fish could be seen swimming among the aquatic plants. The water quality was excellent.

"Three living planets are still missing. The solar system is our home galaxy. Even if more living planets are discovered in the future, I hope that a second or even a third artificial life planet will appear in the solar system."

Zhang Shusheng mentioned business, he planned to carry out preliminary transformation of several planets in the solar system.

"Your Majesty, this idea is very grand. However, it is not too difficult to build a base on planets like Venus and Mars, but it will cost too much to transform it."

Zhou Guolai asked with some confusion, he didn't know much about technology.

Zhang Shusheng: "The cost is definitely not small, and the time is not too short. For example, Venus, although it is called the sister planet of the Earth, also has an atmosphere, but the carbon dioxide content is as high as 97%, and there is also a layer of more than ten kilometers thick

Clouds of concentrated sulfuric acid.

The temperature is even more terrifying, reaching over 400 degrees Celsius.”

"Wouldn't it be extremely difficult to transform it this way? Your Majesty, I don't know much about technology."

Zhou Guolai said doubtfully.

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, "Haha, come here, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, no one is perfect. The transformation of Venus is difficult to say, easy to say.

It has extremely rich reserves of groundwater, which is one of the necessary conditions for transformation.

Secondly, its surface ultra-high temperature is mainly caused by the long-term greenhouse effect. This can be changed as long as the atmosphere can be modified.

As for the clouds of concentrated sulfuric acid, it’s not too difficult.”

"Your Majesty means that we all have these technologies, or that there are ways to solve them?"

Zhou Guolai was convinced that His Majesty must have thought of a more complete transformation method. In this way, if the transformation of Venus is really completed, the earth will have an extra living planet within easy reach.

"For the specific transformation, I will let the Science and Technology Committee come up with a plan first. The entire transformation is not difficult and the investment will not be too much. We just happen to have several key technologies that can solve the problem. By then, you will no longer have jurisdiction over

It’s the government affairs of three living planets, probably four or five, haha.”

Zhang Shusheng chatted with Zhou Guolai some more, and several of them were big things similar to transforming the planet. Under the premise of high efficiency, he did not talk about details, and everything was done to the point, and someone would naturally handle the specific tasks.
Chapter completed!
