Gathering The Fleet (Part 2)

Qi Jian said again: "Currently, the Fourth Civilization's entire Navy has a personnel establishment of 3,000 people. In addition, there are 5,000 people in reserve. After training, they can set foot on the battlefield at any time. Supreme Commander, tell us the goal this time!"

Tang Xiao nodded but did not speak. He just looked at the holographic projections of these warships and took a deep breath.

Among these ships, the Hammerhead-class Cruiser is authorized to carry 300 people, and can also carry 400 marines. Cobalt-class Light Frigate has a certified crew of 75; Assault-class Light Destroyer have a certified crew of 40; Gunship-class Light Frigate only need 3 pilots.

So the Fourth Civilization has been busy for so long, up and down, the total number of people in the entire Navy is not enough for a battleship of the Galactic Republic, oh no, it can't even compare with a Light Cruiser.

Size... Tang Xiao sighed, this thing can't be rushed.

It is estimated that after 5 to 10 years, the Fourth Civilization will usher in the first wave of demographic dividends, mainly at that time, and the frozen embryos that are being cultivated now are basically adults.

And the war will start at that time.

Therefore, that war was also a war that the Fourth Civilization could not afford to lose!

For the war in the future, we must make good use of the battle on Planet Malastare right now. This will be a rare opportunity for training.

Tang Xiao opened his mouth and said slowly: "This time we will go to Planet Malastare to serve as a mercenary army. I will not inform you of the enemy in this battle. In addition, we will follow the instructions of a mercenary commander. "

Qi Jian frowned and asked, "Supreme Commander, do we want to obey orders from an outsider?"

"Yes, because we are a mercenary Army, it is natural to use money to do things. But don't worry, I know that commander, and he is the top fleet commander I know." Tang Xiao replied, " So, this time, our entire army is dispatched! All spaceships, not one left, are dispatched!"

"All dispatched?" Qi Jian was startled.

"That's right, I will also go out with the fleet, but I will only supervise the battle on the spot. Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Civilization Navy Igor Zavarov, you will be the commander of the fleet." Tang Xiao said to the bearded man beside him.

"Yes!" The bearded commander said nothing but stood at attention and saluted.

"Carls Wharton, you will serve as the deputy commander of the fleet and assist Zavarov in command." Tang Xiao continued to appoint.

"Yes!"

"Volgograd Canidi, your Hammerhead-class Cruiser Iron Fang is not in our fleet sequence, you need to act alone."

"That...the Supreme Commander..."

Tang Xiao turned to Qi Jian and said, "Qi Jian, although I understand that you also want to participate in this battle, the Glory Mothership needs your presence." Tang Xiao said.

Qi Jian frowned and said: "Supreme Commander, I personally don't care. But... sending all our spaceships out this time, isn't it too... The Endor galaxy is our foundation, at least we need to leave some large warships for defense ah!"

"This fleet does not have a lot of aircraft, and can only take away about 40 Wraith Fighters. Therefore, there are still 60 Wraith fighters available on the Glory Mothership, which should be enough for defense." Tang Xiao said.

"But even if it is a Wraith Fighter, it needs the support of a large warship to launch a smooth operation! Is it necessary to let the Mothership Glory rush up to deal with the enemy's warship this time? There are more than 500,000 hibernating people on the mothership residents and countless frozen embryos!" Qi Jian argued.

"On this point, I have other arrangements. What you need is to organize the defense of the Glory Mothership. When the time is right, I will tell you the battle plan. This time, we will attack with the whole army. This point It's confirmed, it's an order." Tang Xiao said.

"Yes!" Qi Jian could only salute and accepted the arrangement.

"Supreme Commander... Could it be this time..." Volgograd Canidi finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked when Tang Xiao had just finished speaking.

"Yes, as a mercenary, ready to go to war."

"Let's go to war..." Canidi's feet softened and he almost sat on the ground, "It's not...the Supreme Commander, didn't you agree..."

Tang Xiao glanced at him, "That's right, we are indeed not going to be pirates this time."

"Our entire fleet is attacking. No matter how you look at it, it's worse than being a pirate!" Canidi wanted to cry without tears.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win this battle!" Tang Xiao replied firmly.

...

This fleet contains a total of 72 Spaceships, including 1 Hammerhead-class Cruiser, 6 Assault-class Light Destroyers, 5 Cobalt-class Light Frigates, and 60 Gunship-class Light Frigates.

In terms of carrier-based aircraft, the Hammerhead-class Cruiser can carry 18 Wraith Fighters, and the Assault-class Light Destroyer can carry 4 Wraith Fighters, so there are 42 Wraith Fighters in total.

This is all the power that the Fourth Civilization can use for expeditions.

When these spaceships were arranged in a neat line outside the hangar of the Glory mothership, they looked extremely majestic. Although this fleet cannot be compared with the regular army, it must be emphasized that the only two regular fleets in the entire galaxy are the judicial fleet of the Galactic Republic and the fleet of the Hutts.

And the independent fleets of other planets, as well as some gangs and their own fleets, rarely have this scale.

Because the Galactic Republic has basically abolished its domestic force since the Russan reform. But abolishing their own force does not mean that they will sit idly by those organizations and companies' military expansion.

In fact, the Galactic Republic prohibits all companies and organizations from owning large-scale fleets. As long as such signs are discovered, the result will definitely be a top punishment.

In addition, there are only a handful of companies in the galaxy that can build large warships. Kuat Drive Yards and Rendili Interstellar Engineering Company are the two largest shipbuilding companies, but they only accept official orders.

Although the Corellian Engineering Company has a wide range of businesses, they currently do not have the business of large warships, even if they have the ability to build them, they will not build them.

The only exception is the Interstellar Banking Clan. Because they can be said to be the economic lifeline and treasury of the entire galaxy, they charter a large warship, which is the Generosity-class communication frigate. But the Galactic Republic also restricted the use of Generosity-class frigates, so that no more than 5 of these large warships could appear in the same sector at the same time.

In this era when the entire Galaxy has not yet been armed for war, this fleet of 72 Spaceships looks shabby, but it is really powerful!

"Assemble the fleet, ready to go!" Tang Xiao stood on the bridge of the Mothership Glory, and gave the order to go with a big wave of his hand!
