Capítulo 1355: Chapter 773: Type 3 Divisions
A-class army units, the effect they produce can et the requirents set during their formation.
Within the Empire, how many units can boast the combat effectiveness of an A-class Division?
Perhaps there are so, such as those like Kashen.
However, the difference lies in that these other units within the Empire, which can reach a similar level of combat effectiveness, are all small-scale units, precious elites to be used as a sharp blade at critical monts.
But where else, like the Alliance, establishes such high-level units as regular forces?
Of course, an A-class Division is extrely expensive. The cost of a single infantry division can rise to 50 million, with the most expensive part being those hundreds of Feedback-Type Power Armors.
But even such an infantry division would cause significant casualties and take a long ti for a Star Warrior Trooper Squad to bite through.
If even the Interstellar Warriors have a hard ti achieving victory, let alone any ordinary units.
Having such an infantry division stationed at so critical position serves as a line of defense for the front.
On the other hand, the cost of an A-class Armored Division directly soars to 120 million, with the most expensive being 2 Warlord Level Titans, plus 8 Warhound-class Titans. When paired with several hundred tanks, including over a hundred Lion Kings and more than fifty Holy Sword tanks, even if a position is held by a Star Warrior Trooper Squad, an A-class Armored Division can attempt an attack.
Of course, the premise is that the enemy doesn’t have too many Terminators or Dreadnought chs, nor too many Interstellar Warrior exclusive armored vehicles. Otherwise, there’s not much hope in a fight.
However, this is rely one division compared to the extraordinary warriors like the Interstellar Warriors.
In a key battle, the Alliance can deploy eight such A-class Divisions from one A-class Army Group, along with nurous B-class Divisions for coordinated warfare.
Even the Interstellar Warriors can’t withstand such an offensive.
Moreover, by that point, the Alliance will inevitably dispatch Interstellar Warriors to follow, or send in the Glory Guards.
There must be equivalent combat; they won’t let ordinary warriors die in vain by fighting bloodily against the Interstellar Warriors until the very end.
In the plans of the Military Affairs Departnt, the future total troop strength of the Alliance Army will be maintained at the scale of 150 Army Group clusters, halved compared to the Iron Armor War period.
Among them, the ratio of A/B/C type Army Groups will be maintained at 1:1:1, with 50 each.
The total troop strength is about 3 billion, with a total cost nearing a trillion.
It seems like a lot, but compared to the area controlled by the Alliance and the potential future warti needs, it is seriously insufficient.
During the Iron Armor War, the Alliance already had a total troop strength of 50 billion. Nowadays, the actual control area is more than twice the size it was back then, yet the troop strength has drastically decreased. How can it be enough?
Even when accounting for the Planetary Defense Force, which has required numbers of B-class and C-class units, it is for the sake of quickly conscripting troops from the Defense Army to fill the needs of the Alliance Army when necessary. Nevertheless, it is still not enough.
Not to ntion, the current 150 Army Group clusters aren’t even at full strength, with many units having the designation of Army Groups or Divisions but lacking personnel and equipnt. Veterans continue to retire, and while there are many new recruits being conscripted at training centers across the Alliance, few actually make it into the Army, with most transitioning to reserves and returning to civilian life after training.
In the past fifteen years, the Alliance has focused on economic construction, and given the overall peaceful environnt, hasn’t been able to invest large sums in building the Army. It’s thanks to the considerable efforts of institutions like the Army General Staff, Army Organization Departnt, and Military Affairs Departnt that they managed to construct the frawork for 150 Army Group clusters with a limited budget. It’s remarkable and unrealistic to demand more.
However, these fraworks are very aningful.
As long as the budget is in place, General Yan Fangxu assuredly patted his chest, saying he could prepare half the troops to peak combat effectiveness within three months; in five months, all 150 Army Group clusters could be restored to normal combat effectiveness.
And if needed, the surplus developnt of a large number of lower and middle-level officers could rapidly form new units. The experienced thods of constructing the three types of divisions can be fully replicated, and they are ready with corresponding preparations.
In response, while Gu Hang expressed his approval, he also set requirents.
The Military Affairs Departnt, under Tadeusz, must fully cooperate with Yan Fangxu to do a good job in Army construction. The Alliance needs the capability to, within a year, rapidly expand the Army’s strength to over 300 Army Group clusters while strictly maintaining the ratio of the three types of divisions, Army Groups, and Army clusters, ensuring the Army’s combat effectiveness.
Of course, this is under the premise of sufficient funding. Gu Hang required that the Alliance must possess such a level of mobilization and organizational capability.
It is indeed quite a challenging task, Yan Fangxu smiled wryly after hearing it, and Tadeusz frowned upon hearing it.
The challenge is significant.
However, there is also good news.
In the future, the Army’s budget will be increased, with a focus on building this mobilization capability to co into play at critical tis.
After a brief discussion with Yan Fangxu, Tadeusz took on this task.
This will be the direction of the Army’s efforts for the next one to two years.
In reality, what they have been doing over the past fifteen years is similar: building the Army frawork, building organizational mobilization capability, and maintaining Army combat effectiveness under limited funding to ensure rapid Army expansion when needed.
Next, it’s just a matter of strengthening these aspects further.
…
When it cos to the Navy, the situation is different.
If the Army has, over the past fifteen years, been like a bear hibernating in dormant mode, maintaining and even expanding its frawork while waiting for plentiful food to bulk up…
Then the Navy has been thodically updating its fleet and developing with a long-term perspective.
During these fifteen years, the overall scale of the Navy fleet hasn’t actually increased, remaining around two thousand ships.
However, the Navy’s core combat effectiveness has placed more emphasis on ship quality relative to the number of ships.
Especially concerning the number of large-caliber cannons on large ships.
In this respect, the Alliance has made progress.
The ability to produce ships quickly is, of course, very important and crucial for the Navy. But shipbuilding always takes ti; building a ship, especially one above the Battleship level, often spans three to five years. It’s not feasible to do it like the Army, starting construction when the war breaks out and finishing the battleships when who knows how far the war has progressed.
The Navy must maintain a strong fleet, and this expense really can’t be spared too much.
