Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1106 Core Power
Federation star, military headquarters.

Although Yang Yi's return has not been officially announced, Yu Hongyang and other insiders are under the control of the security forces, but it is definitely not a trivial matter for all eleven members of the Military Strategy Committee to return to the Federal Star.You know, the last time they got together was more than 40 years ago.Just to ensure the personal safety of these big shots, the security forces imposed martial law and blocked the entire Federation Star.

If the military department is the highest authority of the human federation during wartime, and its scope of authority exceeds that of the federal authorities, then the strategic committee is the highest decision-making body of the military department, that is, the brain of the military department.To put it simply, any major issues involving cross-theater must be considered by the Strategy Committee, and can only be formally implemented after being passed by a vote.The eleven members of the strategy committee have thus become the most powerful people in the military department, and even the most powerful people in the entire federation.Not only are they all marshals or grand marshals, but they are also overlords, or they represent more marshals and grand marshals.Simply put, any one of them has a huge impact.Take Yu Mingzhen as an example. He represents the Yu family, and the Yu family is the first family of the Human Federation. It not only has great strength, but also has a wide range of influence.Although Yu Mingzhen was not the head of the Yu family, every word he said in the military department represented the Yu family.

However, for more than 200 years, the members of the strategy committee rarely get together.

Initially, it was mainly for safety considerations.The eleven members of the strategy committee are all very important. Even if there are only a few accidents, the human federation will suffer heavy losses. If they are wiped out by the enemy, the impact will be no different from a magnitude [-] earthquake.At that time, even if the human legion is still guarding the front lines, the turmoil in the rear will destroy the morale and fighting spirit of the frontline officers and soldiers.

For this reason, the Strategy Committee operates on a rotating basis after its establishment.

To put it simply, eleven committee members take turns commanding the military headquarters, while the other ten committee members are responsible for guarding the defense line in their respective jurisdictions.Except for major decisions related to the entire Federation and multiple lines of defense, they are all discussed and resolved through video conferences.In order to cope with the ever-changing battlefield situation, and to facilitate the command of legions on various fronts, the rotating committee members have temporary decision-making power, that is, matters within the scope of their duties do not need to be discussed with other committee members, according to the rules set by the military department, or the committee The decisions made before will be carried out.While having greater power, the rotating committee members also have heavier obligations, that is, they are responsible for guarding the home galaxy.Under normal circumstances, the legion directly commanded by the rotating committee member undertakes the heavy responsibility of defense of the home galaxy and the federal star, ensuring that the garrison troops can unconditionally obey the orders of the rotating committee member.Of course, in order to prevent a certain careerist from getting bigger during the rotation period, the rotation period is five years and cannot be re-elected.After the rotation expires, the retiring rotating members must explain to the strategy committee all the things they did during the rotation, and accept the review of the strategy committee.During the review period, the regiment commanded by the rotating committee member may be disarmed and sent to the barracks designated by the next rotating committee member.After the audit is over, they will be armed again, and the original station will be covered.Usually, the succeeding rotating committee returns to the home system with its own Legion, and will also have the support of other committee members.Because no one committee member has an absolute advantage in strength, no one committee member can stand alone against the attacks of other committee members.

This system has been maintained for more than 200 years. Although there have been some problems during the period, it can generally be maintained.

The biggest problem is actually to provide the basic conditions for the formation of warlord separatism.

It's very simple, all committee members will spare no effort to cultivate their direct troops, even if it's not to compete with the military and federal authorities, but just to hold their own front, they must have a strong enough legion.With the rotation system, more convenient conditions are provided for these committee members.If it is said that the rotation system was adopted out of safety considerations at the beginning, but after all fronts have basically stabilized, it has nothing to do with safety.The rotation system still exists and has become a fixed pattern, to a large extent, because these committee members are unwilling to hand over their power, let alone obey the command of others, even the military and federal authorities.

200 years is enough time for these committee members to sit big.

Just like this, the jurisdiction of the Human Federation is divided into eleven war zones, and each war zone has several to dozens of key defense directions, that is, the main front.Each war zone is an independent kingdom, which only belongs to the Human Federation in name, but in fact it is separate.In other words, if there wasn't a common enemy, and the enemy would not treat the human legions in different theaters differently, the human federation would have collapsed long ago.

Of course, there is another crucial factor that maintains the human federation, that is, the most important strategic resources are always in the hands of the federal authorities led by the Yu family.

This is the original energy converter that determines the combat effectiveness of the human legion.

The Human Federation can compete with the four second-rate top civilizations, and it has persisted for hundreds of years. Not only Yu Linglong has laid a solid foundation for the Human Federation, but it is not only the officers and soldiers of the Human Legion who fought bloody battles on the front line, but also the Queen of Star Soul. , or the gift to Yu Linglong has a lot to do with it.It was after obtaining the sacred artifacts of the Weaving Star Clan that the Human Federation gained the ability to mass-produce original energy converters.Although the Yu family has already mastered the technology of manufacturing ordinary small-scale primary energy converters, and the Yu family has established several production lines, the key raw material for the production of primary energy converters, that is, the primary crystal, has always been provided by the Zhixing clan, and the Yu family has never obtained relevant information. technology.After obtaining the sacred artifact of the Weaving Star Clan, the Yu family knew that the original crystal came from the sacred artifact, and thus gained the ability to mass-produce the original crystal.

Obviously, the Yu family will not hand over such critical technology to outsiders.

In fact, the Yu family can occupy a dominant position in the federal authorities, thereby controlling the entire human federation, relying on the ability to produce original energy converters.

For hundreds of years, this key technology has always been in the hands of the core members of the Yu family, not to outsiders, even ordinary members of the Yu family.

It is through controlling the original energy converter that the Yu family has become the most powerful separatist force in the Human Federation, and other separatist forces have to curry favor with the Yu family.It is precisely by taking advantage of this unique advantage that the Yu family barely maintains the unity of the Human Federation, at least not allowing warlords from all walks of life to fight each other.

However, in the face of a powerful foreign land, the Yu family is not capable of defending the Human Federation alone, and must rely on other forces.

In Yu Mingzhen's words, the Yu Family has been providing energy converters to balance the situation, allowing warlords from all walks of life to continue to work for the Human Federation.

Of course, what is controlled by the Yu family is not only the technology of producing the original energy converter, but also more, such as all the higher military academies under the direct jurisdiction of the military department.The officers trained by these academies are all related to the Yu family, at least they need the small energy converters provided by the Yu family when they are officially in service.It is also through the relationship with the military officers that the Yu family has the ability to exert influence on the marshal and generalissimo of the separatist side.

In fact, this also involves a deeper problem.

That is, the output of primary energy converters, especially the output of small primary energy converters, is always insufficient, and sometimes even cannot keep up with the speed of consumption.

Obviously, this is the key issue that limits the combat effectiveness of human legions.

Although they have acquired the sacred artifacts of the Weaving Star Clan and mastered the technology of producing original crystals, dozens of materials are still needed to manufacture the original energy converters, especially small ones, some of which are extremely rare.Affected by this, the production efficiency of small-scale primary energy converters cannot be improved all the time.Because of the limited output, the Human Federation could only arm a small number of officers and soldiers with small-scale original energy converters for hundreds of years.Although some veterans have obtained small-scale primary energy converters through awards and other means, usually, only officers trained in regular military academies are eligible to receive small-scale primary energy converters.In other words, most of the soldiers in the human legion are not combat soldiers.As for the conditions necessary to control and use the small-scale original energy converter, that is, the battle body, the Yu family has long since found a solution with the help of the Weaving Star Clan and the Mason Clan, and has already promoted the facts throughout the Federation to ensure that all newborn humans can Possess a combat body.

Of course, the human federation needs not only small-scale primary energy converters, but also large-scale primary energy converters, especially high-end products used on battleships and fortresses.

Although the output of large primary converters is lower, the demand is much smaller, so the supply and demand problem is not yet very prominent.

As for arming all officers and soldiers with small-scale original energy converters, that is something unimaginable, and no one has ever had such an idea.

You must know that the total population of the Human Federation is close to ten trillion. After entering a state of all-out war, all citizens of the right age are obliged to serve.Although more people are needed to work in the rear, and not everyone has to join the army, the strength of the human legion has already exceeded 100 billion, and it is increasing at a rate of 5.00% per year.Obviously, it is simply impossible to manufacture so many small-scale primary energy converters with the resources at the disposal of the Human Federation.

Fortunately, this is not just a problem faced by the Human Federation, and the four second-rate top civilizations are no exception.

In peacetime, because there is no need to keep too many standing legions, the four second-rate top civilizations can still implement a policy of elite soldiers, especially the Kunyang and Jijing tribes, whose standing legions are all elite troops, and all officers and soldiers rely on small original energy Converter gained a powerful combat power.However, during the war, with the expansion of military power and huge war casualties, no civilization can continue to implement the policy of elite troops.

In fact, this is also one of the key reasons why the Human Federation can persist for hundreds of years.

In the legions of the two warring parties, except for officers and a few veterans, most of the soldiers are ordinary existence, at most they only use weapons and equipment driven by original energy.

According to Yu Mingzhen, whoever can take the lead in solving the problem of producing small-scale primary energy converters, that is, increase the output of small-scale primary energy converters, will be able to take the initiative on the battlefield and even gain an overwhelming advantage. Quickly win this war.
