1618 Supply Bottleneck
So far, how many fleets does the Alan Hill Empire have? This is an interesting question.
In fact, at this moment, the main fleet of the Ireland Hill Empire assembled in the Higgs region, including the 1st Fleet commanded by Marshal Lawnes, the 2nd Fleet commanded by Admiral Bakarov, Walter The 5th Fleet commanded by the Admiral, and the 6th Fleet led by Admiral Lester.
Due to recent transfers, the 10th Fleet commanded by Admiral Burjos and the 11th Fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Heidi Cannon have also been deployed in the Higgs region.
In addition, the Royal 1st Fleet led by Andrea, the Royal 2nd Fleet led by Aresia, and the Royal 3rd Fleet stationed near the Higgs 1 planet by Cape Luna... the entire Higgs area is stationed The strength of the army has reached an astonishing 9 fleets.
Each of the four major regions close to the war zone has a fleet stationed there, including the 3rd Fleet commanded by Admiral Pruneike, which is stationed in the Yalante region; Maher's 4th Fleet is deployed in the Dothan region.
The 8th Fleet commanded by General Wilkes was on standby in the Jessino Region, and the 9th Fleet led by Corea was deployed on the border of the Holy Demon Region.
In Chris's base camp, which is the Elland Hill region, two fleets are deployed, namely the Royal Guard Fleet directly under His Majesty the Emperor, and the 7th Fleet under the command of Wagron.
In addition, there are fleets scattered throughout the empire as strategic reserves and security forces, namely the 12th Dragon Fleet led by Dragon General Kagalk, the 13th Fleet commanded by General Tuke, and the Elf fleet commanded by General Farley. The 14th Fleet of the Dwarves, the 16th Fleet of the Dwarves under the command of General Morakot, and the 17th Fleet of the Demons under the command of General Van Kefar.
From top to bottom, the fleet numbers of the Alan Hill Empire:
Chris is directly under the Royal Guard Fleet (accompanied by the driver),
Andrea Royal 1st Fleet (based at Higgs),
Aresia Royal 2nd Fleet (based at Higgs),
Cape Luna Royal 3rd Fleet (based at Higgs),
Genesis 1st Fleet (based at Higgs),
Bakarov's 2nd Fleet (based at Higgs),
3rd Fleet of Plun Acre (Alante Regional Fleet),
Maher 4th Fleet (Dothan Regional Fleet),
Walter's 5th Fleet (Higgs Regional Fleet),
Lester 6th Fleet (based at Higgs),
Wagron 7th Fleet (Capital Reserve Fleet),
Wilkes 8th Fleet (Jessnow Regional Fleet),
Koria 9th Fleet (Holy Devil Fleet),
Bourgeois 10th Fleet (based at Higgs),
Heidi Canon 11th Fleet (based at Higgs),
Kagalk 12th Fleet (based at Higgs),
Tuke 13th Fleet (Strategic Reserve),
Farley's 14th Fleet (Elf Fleet),
Dwarf Morakot's 15th Fleet (Dwarf Fleet),
Farmarus 16th Fleet (Orc Fleet),
Van Kfar's 17th Fleet (Demon Fleet).
The above 21 fleets are the existing main fleet of the Alan Hill Empire, which does not include independent squadrons like the Zaku Fleet.
The fleet that destroyed the fleeing Heavenly Sword Sect's false sect, the Dragon Emperor, was actually a sub-fleet that was not included in the main fleet.
It can be seen that in order to fight against the Watcher's attack in the Higgs area, the Alan Hill Empire has assembled 10 of the 21 main fleets, which is close to half of the entire empire's strength.
In fact, if the subsequent reinforcement plan is counted, the fleet assembled in the Higgs area, or near the theater, already exceeds two-thirds of the empire's military strength.
Because, according to the plan of the Imperial General Staff, the 12th Fleet of the Dragon Clan, the 14th Fleet of the Elf Clan, the 15th Fleet of the Dwarf Clan, the 16th Fleet of the Orc Clan, and the 17th Fleet of the Demon Clan will all go to the war zone to participate in the reception. Down will fight.
This is not a joke. This is equivalent to concentrating four-fifths of the empire's military power in the theater of war.
From the founding of the Alan Hill Empire, even in the era when facing most of the magic world and fighting on all fronts in all directions, 80% of the country's troops have never been used to participate in the war!
Even, if Taiyi is activated, Chris, as the key to Taiyi, will also arrive at the front line for the imperial conquest. At that time, perhaps more than 95% of the troops of the Alan Hill Empire will be concentrated in the Higgs region.
The strategic decisive battle waged by the power of the whole country has already started in the Higgs region, and hundreds of millions of ships have gathered in this vast star field.
In order to support such a huge fleet, how many transit stations, how many space ports, and how many space transport spacecraft need to be used are really astronomical figures.
This astronomical figure is not an exaggeration, but a real astronomical figure! There are as many transport spacecraft as stars in the vast universe, fighting on the front line in order to feed tens of billions of troops.
There are thousands of puppet robots working on each battleship, and some battleships even have tens of thousands of such working robots.
In addition to these robots, there are hundreds to hundreds of clones on these battleships. They are responsible for precision work that robots cannot do, and serve commanders in special positions.
On the large warships, there are dozens to hundreds of natural persons, including various races. These invaluable High Commanders command battleships and lead clones and droid droids.
Such battleships constitute the squadron of the Alan Hill Empire, and such squadrons form a huge fleet.
The star ring shipyards of the Alan Hill Empire built on planetary orbits are constantly producing and building, hollowing out planets rich in metal deposits, and assembling and producing huge warships.
The clones who came out of the petri dish, washed their bodies, boarded the spaceship, and were transported to such brand new warships.
Then, after a few hours of testing, this battleship will go to the designated star field formation, and rush to the front line as a supplementary fleet-because there are too many manufactured, even the trial voyage has been simplified.
On the front line, at almost the same time, there was already such a battleship, which was penetrated by black energy, and exploded into debris floating in the universe.
This is war, a cosmic war that looks huge but is actually extremely cruel. A person, an individual, has almost no sense of existence in such a war. At every tiny moment, countless individuals are wiped out.
Innumerable lives have thus been turned into cold numbers one by one, and have become the decision-making data for the superiors to win thousands of miles.
It's like, the telegram that Chris, the emperor of the Alan Hill Empire, is holding in his hand-the Higgs 13, there is no longer any surviving life.
More than 200 destroyers continued to bombard for 3 hours, and then a battleship arrived and heated the core of the planet with a star destroyer.
Today's Higgs 13, from outer space, can see the hot, tumbling, boiling and flowing magma on the surface, which looks like hell.
"The tragedy of Higgs 13 was caused by the sudden increase in the enemy's troops. The enemy is now investing troops in all possible directions, and our army is being forced to invest in all directions." Luo Kai standing in front of Chris , Helping the Royal 2nd Fleet explain.
After all, firing at the planet of one's own empire is not a pleasant thing to say. Even though it is actually lost there, it is not very pleasant to personally destroy a planet that may still have survivors.
"There is nothing wrong with what the Royal 2nd Fleet did." Chris pressed the report on the table and said, "This account should be settled on the watchman's head."
He looked at Luo Kai and signaled him to continue talking.
Luo Kai immediately went on to report: "General Bourgeois's 10th Fleet has arrived at the designated location, and Higgs 11 has become the front line..."
"General Heidi Canon's 11th Fleet has also arrived, but the number of the Warden's fleet is increasing, and the pressure on the front line has not weakened with the arrival of the 11th Fleet's reinforcements." Wagron introduced.
After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth and added: "Actually, the pressure on the logistics force is even greater than the pressure on the front-line fleet."
Think about it, if Huaxia concentrated all its troops in a certain province, the pressure on railway lines, food reserves, ammunition, oil, and even accommodation camps would be no less than a war .
During World War II, the Germans hoarded a large amount of supplies on the Eastern Front, but in the end, due to rail problems and traffic restrictions, there was an embarrassing situation where supplies piled up in Poland, but the German army near Smolensk was forced to stop advancing due to lack of supplies. .
Therefore, it is conceivable that the scale of sending so many troops to a star field is thousands of times that of the millions of troops gathered on the earth.
Luo Kai glanced at Smith in the engineering department, and affirmed the latter's efforts: "In order to support the frontline battles, we rushed to build 25 large supply space ports and 190 small supply centers..."
This is an industrial miracle that was completed only after gathering a large number of engineering and manufacturing personnel and mobilizing a large amount of materials.
You know, these large cosmic ports are almost directly building a super huge space station in the universe, similar to building a simple artificial planet for warships to dock.
Large-scale material supply ports must also have the ability to repair warships. In the civilization of the earth, during the peak period of the United States, the number of ports capable of repairing warships built around the world was not too large.
And the Alan Hill Empire built 25 large space ports in the universe out of thin air in more than a month, and built more than 100 small supply stations along the way!
However, Luo Kai continued to talk about the issue of logistical supplies: "But until now, there is still a bottleneck in handling materials. For this reason, we have even been forced to reduce the transportation of some front-line non-important supplies."
He called up a report on the projection, pointed to the data on the report, and explained to Chris and Wagron who were listening carefully: "In the past ten days, the food quality of the frontline troops has dropped by 100% Thirty, the clothing replacement speed has been extended by 40%... These are forced adjustments, and the impact on the war is expected to be weak, and this is the best material transportation allocation plan calculated by the supercomputer."
Judging from the short-term impact, it is still acceptable. At least the ammunition of the front-line troops is still sufficient, and there are enough instant noodles.
Although they have always been at the forefront of the times, the combat troops of the Ilan Hill Empire today are far from the arrogance of American soldiers who would not fight without chocolate. The quality of food has declined, and the impact on combat effectiveness is still Not obvious.
"We are working hard to improve this aspect... In order to increase the number of ports in the Higgs theater as soon as possible, we are transporting the spaceports in the hinterland there. However, there are not many spaceports with space transition capabilities, so we can only build new ones as a base. Lord." Luo Kai continued.
After finishing speaking, he turned the page of the projection, pointed to the follow-up construction plan on it, and said to Chris and Wagron: "Having learned this lesson, we are building 30 space ports that can make space transitions in the rear. But it will take a month to complete the construction."
This is the end of the introduction about logistical supplies, and the subsequent improvement will depend on the construction speed of the engineering troops.
Fortunately, there are still many engineering construction troops assembled by Higgs. Many redundant engineering personnel withdrawn from the Taiyi Project can be transferred to the troops to build airports and supply stations.
After all, the construction of Taiyi's structure has almost been completed, and so many construction personnel are no longer needed.
However, due to the existence of the Taiyi project, there is still a serious shortage of engineering personnel in the Higgs area, and construction teams from other areas have also arrived one after another.
You must know that the Watcher's troops did not have such a large attack scale before, so the logistical pressure has not been great, and the high-level empire has not prepared to deploy so many supply facilities in the Higgs area.
No way, the facilities cost money! It needs supplies! If it's not necessary, who doesn't know that it would be more enjoyable to build a few warships with these time, money and materials?
Next, Luo Kai introduced the Higgs 11 battle that had already started. Because after the fall of Higgs 13, Higgs 11 became the key target of the watchmen's attack.
Fortunately, Higgs 11 is also a fortress planet, so it won't fall instantly like Higgs 13.
Now the Alan Hill Empire has sent reinforcements to Higgs 11, commanded by the demon general Dolenoje.
Luo Kai focused his introduction on the space fleet. He pointed to the universe near Higgs 11 and said to Chris: "The current situation is that the 12th, 15th, and 1st ships of the Royal 2nd Fleet will be reinforced. 17 The forward forces of the three fleets have arrived at the designated positions."
"At present, they have taken over the defense line of the Royal 2nd Fleet and launched a fierce battle with the enemy near Higgs 11." He roughly drew the range, and then speculated about the enemy's purpose: "Now, the length of our battle line Being doubled by the Watchers is also a strategy for them to surge in numbers and seek to deploy troops in more areas."
"They are attacking Higgs 3, Higgs 4, and Higgs 11 at the same time, and they have launched fierce fleet battles with our army in the four space fields near these planets." The chief of the Imperial General Staff , said with some concern: "Our loss is five times that of before, and the opponent's loss is also huge. However, obviously, they have no plans to retreat."
