Chapter 2775 Change of Course
" Not only the fleet, but also the legion's auxiliary forces will continue to improve and build, striving to train 25 million elite mortal soldiers by forty-two thousand years ago, and they will not die at that time The army will be a powerful armed force that combines Astartes, mortal troops, Skitarii, and Knight families, enough to defeat any enemy who tries to harm the interests of mankind, and become a stable force when the empire falls into chaos and turmoil! The key force in the situation. "
"To achieve this series of goals, in addition to external construction, the structure of the Astartes, as the core force, also needs to be adjusted. We must truly act as a team. Knead together like a legion!"
"First of all, in order to ensure the progress of the recruits' transformation, the Apothecary Association of the Star Knights and the White Templar will be merged and divided into three parts, the Transformation Department and the Field Medical Department. As well as the Unity and Joint Department, the Transformation Department is responsible for the transformation of all recruits of the legion, the Field Medical Department is responsible for dispatching the pharmacists of each company, and regularly checks the health status of the soldiers' gene seeds, and the Unity and Union Department is responsible for preserving the gene seeds of non-legion blood, and according to the According to the needs of each company, the quantity and proportion of various gene seed modifications are negotiated. The heads of the three departments are all at the same level, and they are all called great pharmacists. Important decisions of the Pharmacists Association are resolved through consultation among the three pharmacists. If the negotiation fails, If it is resolved, report it to me for processing.”
“Secondly, the armory and monastery of the two battle groups will also be merged, but the merger of the armory is not a merger of personnel, but the establishment of a higher-level department, the Legion Arms. Department, this department coordinates and manages all the current and future weapons and equipment produced by the legion, and formulates the legion's equipment production plan according to the needs of the army construction. It also makes statistics on the quantity of existing equipment, checks for deficiencies and fills them in a timely manner, and existing battle groups The armory was renamed the First Armory and the Second Armory, and may be added as appropriate in the future. In addition, the Army Arms Department also has the Pashtiban Armory, the Vashti Armory, the Fighter Armory, and the Knight Armory. and other departments, and the daily management of the Legion Arms Department is presided over by a joint committee composed of 3 Astartes, 2 Mechanic-Priests, 1 General, and 1 Knight.”
".The merged Priory will not only be responsible for the spirit and thoughts of the battle brothers, but also be responsible for managing and supervising the instructor system of the mortal auxiliary forces. The person in charge of the Legion Priory will be directly appointed by me."
“I don’t know if you have noticed that although we are now battle brothers of the same legion, our fighting mode and fighting habits still remain the same as during the legion period.”
said With that, Soshyan took a thick leather book delivered by the rickety servo skull and raised it with a smile.
“The Codex Astartes is indeed a good thing. It teaches the Astartes who originally fought in large groups how to fight in small groups, but it also has a premise, that is The Empire will never again encounter an opponent as powerful as it was during the Great Crusade and the Great Heresy, and the Empire will never be forced to the brink of life and death again. Under this premise, it rains down on the warbands across the galaxy like rain. It can nip the crisis in the bud and ensure that the empire will not encounter large-scale wars and crises. Facts have proved that it is effective, but it was only effective for less than two thousand years. "
". When the green-skinned remnants of Ullanor rose again in the second millennium, the flaws of the Codex Astartes were finally exposed. The scattered and independent war groups could not even cope with a sector-level war, and the strict barriers to power were As a result, the chapter was unable to unite the armed forces around it, such as the Astra Militarum, the Navy, etc., around itself. If it were not for the last insurance left by the original body of the Imperial Fists, then the entire situation would be unimaginable. However, unfortunately, humans can The lesson learned from history is that humans never learn lessons, and nothing changed until the end of the Beast War. Perhaps the only thing that changed was the destruction of the last wall forever, and the emergence of the Death Watch organization, but since then, the Holy Code The only role left was pure restriction. Abaddon the Despoiler grew from a lost dog to a serious nuisance under the eyes of the Empire. The distant Tau tribe developed their empire at the doorstep of the Ultramarines, the dynasty of the Necron. Resurrecting one after another, the Hive Fleet regards the Empire as their food bowl, and no real crisis can be extinguished, and the restricted war group can only use one tragic victory after another to temporarily curb the speed of the Empire's decline. "
"But everyone can see that the war group is falling much faster than the empire is falling. Everyone knows how many people have fallen in the past forty-one thousand years so far (statistics are from 41k to 42k). Chapters expelled from the Adeptus Astartes? 65, 65 Chapters in total, 65,000 Battle-Brothers killed, mutinous, or lost, not counting the loss of personnel in those existing Chapters, and the entire forty Do you know how many new battle groups have been added in a thousand years? 14, only 14, and the latest battle group has replaced the Sable Sword of the Astral Knight." (These are the data that Lao Mo roughly researched. Maybe a little less)
Speaking, Soshyan threw the holy book aside. Before it fell, two servo skulls had caught it and flew away staggeringly.
".Whether it is for combat or survival, it must be put aside. The command structure of the legion will be completely rebuilt to ensure that the legion can effectively respond to wars of various scales. After all, the strength of a single company is too weak , and the number of people in an entire battle group is too much, so I will add a new combined battalion between the combat company and the battle group."
When Soshiyan spoke, Fan Fan. The display panel floated up from behind him, forming a very huge screen, and then a detailed structure diagram of the battle group appeared on the screen.
". The personnel and organization of the tactical team and the company level remain basically unchanged. Only the equipment configuration has been modified to a certain extent. For example, each company is guaranteed to have at least one tactical fearless (terminator) Squads, companies and tactical squads mainly support planet-level operations, while the core of a combined battalion is composed of three tactical companies, a Dreadnought mecha squad (3 units) and a super-heavy armored squadron. But since it is combined, it is not just There is only the Astartes, which also includes at least fifteen Vashti regiments and three Pashti squad regiments, a combat robot brigade, a Mechanicum support group, and a certain number of naval and air forces deployed according to combat needs. Strength, the combined battalion mainly supports galaxy-level operations. In addition, the combined battalion is not a fixed establishment and is only temporarily formed when the battle requires it.”
"On the surface, the battle group still maintains a thousand-man establishment, but the original Astral Knights and White Templars only exist as an administrative and external communication organization, while the actual combat group consists of no less than five companies or three At the same time, a battle group will include at least forty Vashti regiments and ten Pashti squad regiments, two battle robot brigades, two Mechanicum support groups, and a knight family spear formation (twelve Taiwan Knight Mecha), as well as sea and air force support provided by a main fleet. "In order to adapt to the new structure, the original job titles will also be adjusted. The system of centurions and thousandths will be cancelled, and there will be no divisions at company level and below." Change, the title of consul is added above the company level, which is both an honorary title and a combat position. In principle, the temporary commander of the combined battalion is appointed by the acting legion commander, while the chapter commander is served by the consul, and he also has Authority to appoint interim combined battalion commander”
