Start with Planetary Governor - Chapter 779

The effect of the Class A Army Unit can meet the requirements when it was formed.

In the Empire, are there a few troops that can have the combat effectiveness of the Class A Division?

Perhaps there are, such as Kashejin and his ilk.

However, the difference is that the other troops in the Empire that can reach a similar combat level are all small-scale troops, precious elites, and are used as spearheads at critical moments.

Where is it like the Alliance, which builds troops of this level as regular troops?

Of course, the Class A Division is so strong that the price is also extremely expensive. The cost of a single infantry division is as high as 50 million, and the most expensive of them are the hundreds of feedback power armors.

But with just such an infantry division, I am afraid that even if a Space Marine company comes, it will suffer a lot of casualties and it will take a long time to chew it.

Even the Space Marines have to struggle to win, let alone other ordinary troops.

Having such an infantry division at a key position is a guarantee for the front line.

The cost of the Class A armored division soared to 120 million. The most expensive ones are 2 Warlord-class Titans and 8 Warhound-class Titans. With hundreds of tanks, including hundreds of Lion Kings and more than 50 Holy Sword tanks, the Class A armored division can try to attack even if there is a position controlled by a Space Marine company.

Of course, the premise is that the number of Terminators and Dreadnoughts should not be too large, and there should not be too many Space Marine-exclusive armored vehicles. If that happens, there is still not much hope in the fight.

However, this is just a division, compared with extraordinary warriors like Space Marines.

In a key battle, an A-class army of the Alliance can take out eight such A-class divisions, and there are also a large number of B-class divisions to cooperate in combat.

Even Space Marines can’t withstand this kind of offensive.

What’s more, at that level, the Alliance will inevitably send Space Marines to keep up, or send the Glory Guards.

We must fight on equal terms, and we will not let mortal warriors die in vain in a bloody battle with the Space Marines.

In the plan of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the total strength of the Alliance Army in the future will be maintained at the scale of 150 army groups, which is half the size of the Iron Armor War period.

Among them, the ratio of the three types of army groups A/B/C will be maintained at 1:1:1, 50 each.

The total strength is about 3 billion, and the total cost is nearly 1 trillion.

It seems a lot, but this number is seriously insufficient compared to the control area of ​​the Alliance and the possible war needs in the future.

The total strength of the Alliance during the Iron Armor War was 5 billion. The actual control area is now more than twice as large as before, but the strength has been greatly reduced. How can it be enough?

Even the planetary defense forces are counted, and the number of B and C forces in the planetary defense forces has also been required, so as to facilitate the rapid recruitment of troops from the defense forces when needed to fill the needs of the Alliance Army. But despite this, it is still not enough.

Not to mention, the current 150 army groups are not even the actual quota. Many troops are organized as army groups and divisions, but they lack people and equipment. Veterans are constantly retiring. Although there are many recruits in the training centers of new recruits in various parts of the alliance, very few are actually added to the army. Most of them are transferred to the reserve after training and return to society.

In the past fifteen years, the alliance has been centered on economic construction, and the overall environment is peaceful, so it is impossible to invest a large amount of money to build the army. Thanks to the Army General Staff, Army Organization Department, Military and Political Department and other institutions, they are quite powerful. It is not easy to build the framework of 150 army groups under a limited budget. It is really not easy to ask for more.

But these frameworks are very meaningful.

As long as the budget is in place, General Yan Fangxu patted his chest and said that he would be able to complete the preparations within three months and let half of the troops reach peak combat effectiveness; in five months, all 150 army groups will return to normal combat effectiveness.

And if there is a need again, a large number of middle and low-level officers who have been trained in excess can quickly pull out new troops. The three-type divisions, which have already had a lot of experience in training, can be built in a completely replicable way, and they have also made corresponding preparations.

In this regard, Gu Hang expressed his affirmation and also put forward requirements.

Taddius of the Military and Political Department should fully cooperate with Yan Fangxu to do a good job in the army construction. The alliance needs to be able to quickly expand the army’s strength to more than 300 army groups within a year, and strictly ensure that the proportion of the three-type divisions, army groups, and army groups remains unchanged, and the combat effectiveness of the army must be guaranteed.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the money is enough. Gu Hang requires that the alliance must have this level of mobilization and organizational capabilities.

It is still a very difficult task. Yan Fangxu smiled bitterly after hearing it, and Taddius frowned after hearing it.

It is quite challenging.

But there is also good news.

In the future, the army’s budget will be increased, and it is important to build this kind of mobilization capability, which will come in handy at critical times.

After a brief discussion with Yan Fangxu, Thadius took on the task.

This will be the direction that the Army will take in the next one or two years.

In fact, what they have done in the past fifteen years is similar: building a military framework, building organizational mobilization capabilities, maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army under the premise of limited money, and ensuring that the army can expand rapidly when needed.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Next, it is nothing more than strengthening these aspects.

…

When it comes to the navy, the situation is different.

If the army has been like a hibernating bear in the past fifteen years, although there is no food, it has been trying to maintain and even expand its skeleton, just waiting for the food to be abundant, so that it can eat a bite to fatten itself.

Then, the navy is systematically updating and replacing ships and developing in the long run.

The overall size of the naval fleet has not actually increased in the past fifteen years, and it still remains at about two thousand ships.

However, the core combat effectiveness of the navy pays more attention to the quality of ships than the number of ships.

Especially the number of giant ships and cannons.

In this regard, the alliance has made progress.

For the navy, the ability to build ships is of course very important and crucial. However, it takes time to build ships. The shipbuilding cycle of a ship, especially a large ship above the level of a battleship, is three to five years. It is definitely not possible to build it like the army. If you wait until the war starts, you will not know how far the war will go when the ship is completed.

The navy must maintain a strong fleet, and this money cannot be saved too much.
