Chapter 2327 Replenishing the Company
When the report came out, each company commander had different expressions. After all, a normal battle group would not have such an imbalance in the number of company members. The least was a dozen people, and the most was more than two hundred people. .
Soshiyang could not see any expression, and just nodded slightly.
"What about the transformation of the recruits."
"The latest batch of successfully transformed recruits are 300 candidates from Nessen 4 and 200 candidates from the Bracato system. In the end, Everyone has undergone the surgical procedure. A total of 467 people have been transplanted with black carapace. Thanks to the new equipment provided by Ulan Huda and the enhanced drugs they produced using STC templates, compared with the previous 309 people, this modified surgery The success rate is close to the success rate of recruits in the Great Expedition. Among them, 67 people from the 11th Company have been transferred, 35 people from the 6th Company have been assigned to the company, and there are still 365 recruits to be determined.” (Statistics from the previous chapter. The number is the initial number when the Chapter returns to its home planet, without adding this batch of new recruits)
This time the recruitment of Soshyan was carried out independently by the Pharmacists Association. Anyway, there are so many previous examples and standards of recruitment. In fact, there is no need to pay special attention to it. Anyway, there is a crown of knowledge.
Obviously, it is imperative to increase the company.
“Now that the command level of the fifth company has been basically completed, 97 relatively experienced soldiers from the tenth company will be transferred to the fifth company. In addition, the original commander of the tenth company, Armin, was changed to the commander of the sixth company. The Tenth Company transferred 110 soldiers to reorganize the Sixth Company. The original Sixth Company was renamed the Saber Company. The personnel structure remained unchanged. The new commander of the Tenth Company was Sergeant Bahram. "
When Soshiyan said a series of words. When personnel changes occur, some people appear surprised, while others appear calm.
In fact, these decisions were not made by Soshyan on a whim. He had discussed it carefully with all parties before, and it was Zaraton's request to break away from the framework of the Astral Knight Company. On the way to Terra and back to Naison IV, he talked to Soshyan alone many times, and both sides made it very clear - this was not about the Crimson Sabers burning bridges, but about them realizing that they Like the 11th Company, it is difficult to truly integrate into this mysterious legion. In this case, perhaps it would be better for everyone to keep a certain distance from each other.
Moreover, Zaraton admitted that the goal of the Crimson Saber is to avenge his former fallen brother, the Crimson Slayer. As for what will happen next, strictly speaking, he is also very confused. Perhaps he can only leave it to future generations to decide, but before that, he still Hopefully keeping the soul and roots of the Crimson Sabers alive.
Soshiyang also expressed his understanding of this. After all, the Crimson Sabers made great contributions and sacrifices during the expedition. He had no reason to accuse the other party of flying when their wings are hard.
Of course, this does not mean that they have separated since then. The Crimson Sabers will still operate under the banner of a company of the Astral Knights. Their strength is still weak. Zaraton bluntly said that there must be at least four hundred people. Only with a scale of about 100 people can it be possible to avenge Kranon, but now their gene seed reserves can support more than one hundred people at most. The Crimson Sabers need to find a way to obtain their rare bloodline-the former World Eater through transactions and other methods. The seeds of the Legion.
As for Armin, Soshyan knew that the company commander he had brought up had always been eager to truly lead a combat company to fight on the forefront of the battlefield. After asking Bahram for his personal opinion, He finally decided to fulfill Armin's long-cherished wish.
After two rounds of transfers, there are only 36 people left in the Tenth Company, but there are still 365 recruits to be arranged. This is also the biggest feature of the Astral Knights in the past few decades. The ratio of recruits is very high.
Under such circumstances, maintaining a company of recruits would appear to be a very strange company structure, so Soshyan announced a second major personnel appointment.
"Establish the 7th Company and the 8th Company. The commander of the 7th Company will be Sergeant Murad of the 1st Company. 10 veterans will be transferred from the 4th Company to assist. The staffing will be 110 people. The commander of the 8th Company will be Sergeant Gary of the 2nd Company. Ann Kerr was in charge, and the personnel of the former Cruel Blade Squadron were transferred from the Second Company to assist. The company's personnel configuration is 80 people. In addition to supplementing the personnel shortages of other companies, the remaining recruits will all enter the Tenth Company. "The 7th Company is also a standard battle. Company, there is nothing to say about this, but the 8th Company is quite special. It is Soshyan’s first attempt to establish a large-scale armored force. All the super-heavy armored vehicles of the future battle group, especially tanks and destroyers. Armor that can threaten very large targets will be used by the 8th company, because after this expedition, Soshyan found that assigning overweight armor to the company is not efficient, and it is often difficult to form a coordinated combat effect with airborne and rapid assault infantry. , just transporting these big guys from orbit to the ground is very troublesome, and a special landing site needs to be opened, and combat companies often rush directly to the battlefield, and there is no time to wait for the big guys in their own company to slowly arrive at the front line. , relatively speaking, speed attack boats, motorcycles, and even Land Raiders that are more flexible, faster, and easier to raid airborne are much better.
Therefore, it is better to use these great weapons of the legion era separately - after all, there are fifty Cruel Blades alone now.
"Naxin, when will the next batch of recruits be?"
"Reporting to the Chapter Commander, the second batch includes 500 candidates from the Bracato system, who are receiving the first step of physical enhancement on the Avesta, and 500 candidates from Nessen IV. , but they are still in the final stage of physical enhancement and have not started surgery. These recruits are expected to mature in five years. "
"Five years"
Soshiyang thought. After a moment, he nodded.
“The Chapter can be restored to its current state, and the Apothecary Association is indispensable. It has created so much new blood when the number is so weak. I recommend that everyone, the Apothecaries who have worked hard for us. Applause!”
As Soshyan was the first to applaud, everyone in the reception hall also applauded.
Everyone agrees with Soshyan's words. You must know that 6 pharmacists accompanied the army during the expedition. In other words, these transformation works were actually done by 13 pharmacists, most of whom were apprentices, although there was also Ulan. Huda's technical priests assisted, but the workload of selecting people and transforming them was huge. Even now, some pharmacists still have deep tiredness on their faces. Talos even joked with Soshyan. , Valier complained to him more than once, saying that Talos sold him to the Iron Warriors' construction site. He had never been so tired even when he was a traitor, but now he often stayed awake for two or three weeks in a row.
After the applause stopped, Soshyan immediately said to the chief pharmacist:
“Naxin, give priority to increasing the number of pharmacists. If you think any of the current recruits is suitable, you can apply directly. , and if there are suitable ones currently undergoing renovation, you can transfer them directly to the Pharmacists Association without applying. I will give you 30 establishments, no, 40."
After a pause, he looked at it. To Rogris and Yazdan.
"The same goes for the armory and the monastery. Priority is given to replenishing the number of personnel to 30. The frontline combat establishment must be replenished, and functional personnel must also be replenished."
