Chapter 315, Military Construction
The Storm Mage Group and the Cradle Project are the two cores of Gu Hang's subsequent talent training.
The former is a path for cultivating extraordinary functional talents and building a psychic monastery with psykers as the core; while the latter is the most indispensable talent construction in the all-round development of the alliance itself.
Gu Hang was very willing to invest a large amount of gift points in these two matters.
So far, his total investment in gift points in terms of buildings and talents has reached more than 7000.
There are still more than [-] on hand.
Next, it’s time to build up the military.
In terms of military equipment, it does not need to be solved by gift points, but depends on the alliance's own productivity; however, in terms of personnel, it still needs to be supplemented by the training function provided on the [Weapon Card] panel.
The first is to replenish the existing troops.
The Battle of Blackbird, cumulatively in both stages, brought more than 5000 casualties to the Alliance; the Raging Bear Legion's battle on Koruga 3 has also resulted in a cumulative loss of [-] people so far.
In the glorious victory, the Alliance army also paid a lot of corpses.
This amount of loss is actually not small at all.
Before the victory of the Battle of Blackbird, the alliance's total manpower pool was less than 50 without activating the mobilization order, and it was almost full.The number of active military personnel in the alliance has exceeded 50.In the middle and late stages of the Blackbird Campaign, the alliance initiated a second-level mobilization order, transferred production capacity to military industry, and expanded the scope of recruitment, and it was able to withstand the pressure.
Now, the mobilization order was lifted after the war.However, after the victory, they also gained control over the entire western part of the continent. After the Western Desert Province and the Western Three Provinces, a total of four large provinces with a population of 800 million, joined the alliance, the alliance's available manpower became tense. Got great relief.
Gu Hang has no intention of expanding the army on a particularly large scale for the time being. He has only created six new armored composite divisions numbered 60 to 65, with the organization structure being the same as the current Xiefeng Brigade.
At the same time, all other existing synthetic brigades have also been transformed according to this standard.
As for the 1st Quenching Brigade, which has always been used as an improvement model for the alliance army, it has been further strengthened and adapted.
First, all combined battalions have increased their strength and removed all motorized infantry companies. Instead, they have been completely transformed into 4 armored infantry companies plus 2 tank companies, engineering, logistics, communications, reconnaissance, air defense and other functional units. Also included.
The strength of such a battalion has increased by half from the original more than 800 people, to 1000 or [-] people.
In terms of number of people, it is almost comparable to that of a regular group, and the density of technical equipment is many, many times that of a regular group.
For the whole brigade, the number of such main combined battalions has increased from 5 to 8; the original tank battalions have also been increased from 1 to 2.The artillery support companies of each battalion, as well as the artillery battalions directly under the brigade, have been transformed from the original towed artillery into self-propelled artillery with much higher mobility.The brigade headquarters also has various functional units of the brigade headquarters.
The strength of the entire brigade has increased from the original 100 to 1; the number of tanks has increased from 2.5 to 200, a direct increase of [-] times; the number of armored vehicles has increased from more than [-]. The number has been increased to [-] units. In addition to the largest number of infantry fighting vehicles, it also includes more air defense models and communication command models under the "Walker" series.Below the brigade headquarters, three aviation formations under the brigade are also directly deployed, with a total of thirty Wind Falcons.
Gu Hang will collectively train all soldiers from the T5 level to the T4 level; the equipment of the frontline combat infantry will be completely changed from G series live ammunition rifles to LR series laser rifles or HS series electromagnetic rifles.
For such a luxurious and enhanced version of the synthetic brigade, as a demonstration army, the construction period will be very long, and the modification may not be completed in a short time.
You can see it from the price.The cost of the Death Wind Brigade will skyrocket from the original 90 points of gift plus less than 60 tax coins to 1320 points of gift plus 180 million tax coins.
The quality of soldiers has improved and the density of technical equipment has greatly increased. There is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the Xifeng Brigade will greatly increase.Although the number of people is only about [-] more, the combat effectiveness should have increased many times.
However, Gu Hang is actually not sure how the improved combat effectiveness will compare with the increased cost.
The construction cost has tripled, which is easy to say. The substantial increase in the number of equipment directly linearly enhances combat capabilities.The more than 1000 gift points spent on improving the quality of soldiers can increase their combat effectiveness tenfold.
Gu Hang had some doubts about this.
But then again, how do you know if you don’t try?
After all, there is only one brigade, and the Demonstration Force, the Xifeng Brigade, should undergo this kind of experimental adaptation.
The remaining thing may be that the Xi Feng Brigade needs to go to a certain battlefield and test through actual combat whether the increase in combat effectiveness is as exaggerated as the increase in cost.
However, now on the Raging Owl Star, there is no longer any battle that requires them to take action.For conventional local suppression work, there is no difference between the cheapest garrison division and the most expensive elite heavy-armored combined brigade.
But the alliance now has two battlefields and needs manpower.
They are Koroga 3 and Black Arrow.
Gu Hang thought for a moment and thought that he could throw the entire Xiefeng Brigade onto the Black Arrow Star.
Lately, there's been a war going on there.
Let’s talk about the specific situation later, Gu Hang’s focus is still on building his army.
To complete the construction of six new brigades, plus the transformation of the other nine combined brigades, and the major strengthening of the Xifeng Brigade, a total of more than 6 new soldiers will be added; the military expenditure for additional equipment will increase by almost 600 million tax coins. above the military budget.
Apart from the equipment gap, with the current productivity of the alliance, the pressure is still quite high.But as the alliance develops in the future, this pressure should be able to be quickly relieved.At the same time, large military orders will also stimulate the development of the alliance industry.
The gaps in personnel, new troops, and the losses of previous troops also had to be made up. Gu Hang had recruited a total of almost 14 new troops into the army this time.
The previous alliance definitely couldn't handle recruiting people like this, and it was almost approaching the upper limit of available manpower under the second-level mobilization order.
But now, the pressure is not too great.
The population of the Western Desert, the Three Western Provinces, and immigrants to the Alliance... After the total population of the Alliance soared from 2500 million to 4500 million, these newly added manpower can be put to use.
After the mobilization order is lifted, the estimated available manpower will be upwards of 80.
The current alliance army, including the Raging Bear Legion, only uses a total of 60 people.
And for those who are new to the alliance, becoming a soldier may not be a bad choice.As soon as you enter, the treatment of a private is equivalent to E6. If you stay for a while, your training performance will be better, or your military service will be longer, there will be no bottlenecks in being promoted to an officer or non-commissioned officer, at least to an upper class private.
The treatment of an upper class soldier is equivalent to the E9 rank, and it is also at this level if you directly change jobs after being discharged from the army.
As for injury and sacrifice...this is the inevitable fate of being a soldier.However, the league's pension policy has always been relatively generous, which at least alleviates many people's worries.
These 14 people will enter the new military camps established by the Alliance Military and Political Department around the world for preliminary training.Then, Gu Hang would 'act' in it.
The training cost of 14 people, even if they are all trained to the T5 level, and one gift is needed to train 100 people, it will still cost [-] points.
In addition to the approximately one thousand three thousand that the Wind-Destroying Brigade will spend, the total cost is two thousand seven.
As the size of the army increases and higher requirements are placed on the quality of its soldiers, the cost of training, which used to be considered completely insignificant, gradually begins to become more significant.
However, overall it is still not a big deal.
The real big deal is in the training of space warriors.
So far, the number of phoenixes remains at around thirty.
Chapter Commander Martins is already very satisfied with this.
When he was wandering, he expected the best outcome, but he never dared to think that in less than three years, their number would skyrocket from seven to 36.
As for Gu Hang, the reason why he did not continue to increase the number of space warriors was not because he didn't want to, but mainly because it was too expensive.
Gu Hang calculated that the average price he spent to cultivate a new blood for Phoenix was about [-] to [-] gift points per person - including the early selection and training of personnel, as well as the exchange of seeds.
This is a relatively expensive price. Fighting with Space Marines is undoubtedly quite a luxury.
In addition to the cost of gift points, power armor and other equipment exclusive to space warriors are also a huge expense.
Previously, the reason why the number of Space Marines was not further increased was also due to the lack of power armor.
Currently, except for the seven earliest power armors used by the Phoenix, the rest were ordered by Gu Hang from Gu's Trading Company.
[-] tax coins per unit, excluding any other equipment.
If you include other equipment, not to mention cheaper bolt guns and chainswords, mobile backpacks, plasma guns or melta guns, power swords, missile platforms, and even Terminator armors and fearless mechas... These are all extremely expensive.
Buying is out of the question.
Not to mention the other equipment, the price of another twenty power armors would reach 100 million tax coins.At that time, Gu Hang wanted to tie these Space Marines to his own battlefield, gritting his teeth and making a promise to the Phoenix. Then he encountered the attack of green-skinned pirates. His cousin gave the money directly. Only when a gift is given can it be considered worthy.
If I buy it later, it will be too expensive.
And the channels to buy are also difficult.
Space Marine power armor is not only expensive, but production capacity is low.Generally, only some foundry worlds of the Mechanicum have this kind of production technology.But the critical demand is relatively small.
A standard Space Marine Chapter only has a thousand men at full strength.Including some margins that may be prepared, the total demand is only [-] or [-] sets.
And this kind of power armor can only be worn by Space Marines.
Conventional power armor that mortals can use is not the same thing as this.
With such a scarce demand, many forging worlds have the capacity to produce them, but they won't produce too much.If you buy a small amount, people are too lazy to make it for you and can only see if there is any leftover; if you buy a large amount, people are willing to start production, but the price cannot be afforded.
After all, when it comes to power armor, it is not true that it is better to buy than to make.
The production problems of power armor and other exclusive equipment for Space Marines still have to be solved by self-production.
It's nothing more than spending more gift points.
In fact, this review has also made up its mind to extract some technologies related to space warriors.After completing the [Phoenix Will Die] event line, he can now directionally select Space Marine-related technologies when extracting technologies, which greatly reduces the element of luck.
Putting aside the technology lottery for the moment, Gu Hang planned another gift point, about fifteen thousand points.It is expected that twenty new blood phoenixes can be cultivated.
They themselves need at least half a year to two years to grow, and during this time, the alliance's own power armor should be available.
Even if it can't be built, or it's not cost-effective to build, it's okay to use technology to pull it out of the black box.
And if these fifteen thousand points of gift are spent, in addition to twenty new phoenix bloods, there will also be some ancillary benefits.
That's a lot of T2, T3, and T4 elite soldiers.
T4-level soldiers will be placed in various units.In the process of cultivating space warriors, these young men with the weakest potential are the first batch to be eliminated. In the regular army, they are also outstanding soldiers.All troops will welcome their arrival.
As for the T3 and T2 level soldiers, they are all classified into the [-]th Brigade.
This special operations brigade has more than 4000 people, all of whom are eliminated during the training process of space warriors.Wearing the Alliance's own exoskeleton armor, they can also wield bolters and chainswords individually.The combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of serious space warriors. If we really encounter them, I'm afraid they won't let people use Wushuang to kill them at will.
But when they encounter other normal armies with the same light infantry, they can still kill indiscriminately.
The key is that the quantities vary greatly.
After all, there are only a few dozen Space Marines, and it is not possible to find them for every mission.
But the special operations brigade with thousands of people is different.
In fact, the [-]th Brigade had already performed very well in the previous Blackbird Battle.They were responsible for many attacks on key targets, and they were often able to fulfill their mission and achieve their goals, avoiding heavy casualties of conventional troops; there were also some special airborne operations, infiltration operations behind enemy lines, and data transmission command nodes for the enemy. , implement decapitation tactics, and also destroy the enemy's logistics supply center...
At that time, there were only 2000 special operations brigades, and they were more effective than a few more divisions.
