Chapter 2788 Fire Claw Suspicion
Just when Suoshiyang and the sages from Huangquan No. 8 ended their discussion on the Huangquan-level transformation plan, Suoshiyang suddenly remembered something.
The Fire Claw Chapter, according to Bahram, the Chapter came into contact with the radical Inquisitor, resulting in the subsequent judgment. The Atonement Expedition seemed to be related to an activity near Huangquan No. 8, so the inquiry was made The other party is talking about the Fire Claws Chapter.
The sage was a little surprised that Soshiyang mentioned Fire Claw, but he still answered him.
The Fire Claws did indeed perform a mission near the Underworld VIII in 952.M41. At that time, a hulk suddenly left the warp and approached the system where the Forge World was located. The hulk was Marked by the Empire as the Sin Catcher, the radical Inquisitor de Marchais began to mobilize forces to destroy the hulk, and the Fire Claw Chapter sent a company led by the Librarian to support.
Underworld No. 8 did not directly participate in the operation, but only provided fleet support. When the hulk was destroyed later, they learned that there was a group of Chaos Space Marines inside. The leader was a Tzeentch Champion who believed in the Lord of Change, but this man seemed to be The Think Tank Director of the Fire Claws Chapter, Decario, was beheaded, but the Inquisitor classified the contents of this operation as secret, and the Adeptus Mechanicus did not inquire much, and they had no contact with the Fire Claws after that.
After listening to this, Soshyan had some questions about the Relic Chapter, but he just kept it in his heart.
Not long after the meeting between the two ended, Soshyan sent a notification letter to his favorite bidder, followed by a series of consultations and negotiations.
In the end, he exchanged most of the captured Necron remains, equipment, and weapons from the Adeptus Mechanicus for hundreds of thousands of combat soldiers and space fighters, which will supplement future ground operations. strength, and the main aircraft carrier model of the Rogun-class light aircraft carrier.
Of course, these all take time. The longest one takes five years, and the shortest one takes three years to be delivered one after another. It’s not that there is no production capacity, but this is a deal that cannot be made clear after all. The same goes for various foundry worlds. Those with Martian eyeliners would have to cover it up before sending it out under other names, which would delay time.
During this period, a moon-class cruiser and two new-class frigates built in the Naisen No. 4 dock also completed all outfitting and sailing tests, and the crews were fully equipped, waiting to be named and commissioned.
Soshyan participated in the commissioning ceremony of three ships and named the Lunar-class cruiser the Nessen Blade. In the future, all ships built in the Nessun system will be named after the galaxy. logo, and at the same time he also appointed a captain, a frigate captain who graduated from the Nathan Naval Academy and has served in the Astral Knights Chapter fleet for nineteen years. According to previous arrangements, this battleship will join In the order of battle of the White Templar, however, after the reform of the legion system, the legion's fleet will no longer be divided into battle groups, but will be divided into the Nessen Fleet and the Bracato Fleet, and when the battle company or combined battalion attacks When operating on a legion scale, two main fleets will form a combined fleet. Therefore, the Lunar-class cruiser will join the Bracato fleet, but when it sets off, it will not only be its own ship, but also carry hundreds of teachers from the Naison Naval Academy and their families. Their mission is Go to the Bracato system to assist the fleet there in establishing their own naval academy.
Now the battle group, or the legion, has established its own naval talent training system. The core is the naval academy on Nathan IV. This academy was born out of the original seaman center. Soshiyang was officially established in the fifth year after returning to his home planet. He was the honorary principal. Occasionally he would appear on some important school anniversaries and festivals. Many captains who graduated from here would even call Soshiyang the principal. This is also A special honor for the Nathan Naval Academy.
But with the rapid expansion of the legion fleet, just one naval academy is definitely not enough, and Soshyan also needs to balance the proportion of personnel in the current legion navy. Almost all previous captains and navy The senior officers were all from Neisen IV. Later, a group of outstanding naval captains were introduced from the Maelstrom, but the number was not large enough, which also caused the rejection of the Neisen IV captains. There were various minor frictions during this period. , but the overall situation is still within the controllable range, but things must be solved after all, and the best way is to "dilute", so it is logical for Bracato to establish a new naval academy. This matter was actually as early as four years ago. The construction started five years ago. The various facilities of the academy have only recently been completed, and the enrollment process has just begun. There is an urgent need for experienced retired captains and teachers to provide guidance. There are only a dozen retired captains in the White Temple. It is far from being able to meet the demand, so we can only transfer it from Naisen No. 4.
In fact, this situation is not limited to the navy, but also exists among the auxiliary forces of the current legion. Due to the establishment of a mortal legion that is far larger than the general auxiliary troops of the general legion, Soshyan also had to establish an army academy on Naisen IV. This Different from the Astra Militarum's Loyal College, the Nessen Army Academy recruits not only the orphans of loyal soldiers, but also the children of the Chapter's servants, the children of outstanding civilians, and the children of nobles, etc. They are mainly the Chapter's auxiliary troops. source of officers.
At first, there were three army academies in Neisen IV, which were later expanded to six. But slowly Soshyan discovered the problem. The proportion of civilian students in the academies was getting lower and lower. Children of nobles and war groups The proportion was getting higher and higher. Since he didn't spend much time paying attention to the Army Academy, he never paid much attention to it. It was almost before the Maelstrom Expedition that he felt that the situation was a bit serious. The reason for all this was the empire's deep-rooted lineage theory. In the culture of the empire, it is emphasized that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. The son of a mouse will definitely be able to dig holes, and the offspring of an officer must also be an officer. However, for the enrollment of the Army Academy, the examination only accounts for "part" of the ratio. The proportion of students introduced with letters of recommendation is actually larger.
Some "veteran families" who have served in the auxiliary forces of the Chapter for two or three generations have formed a close network of relationships with each other through marriage, and firmly occupy a considerable proportion of the high-level ecology of the auxiliary forces. They even began to form a group to exclude those officers who were not servants of the regiment, which in turn caused a backlash from a series of officers who were born in Naisen No. 4. Although he knew that this was not good, Soshyan had to admit that these people did use They feel more at ease than outsiders, after all, all aspects of theirs are highly bound to the legion.
After all, mortal affairs are often just personal agendas in the end.
In fact, Soshiyang has already made a small round of personnel transfers in the auxiliary forces, knocking out those mortal officers who tried to seize power by relying on their ancestors’ qualifications. As a remedy, in order not to block the rise of outstanding talents As a result, Soshyan ordered the establishment of several non-commissioned officer schools, which only admitted children of civilians. Although this could not bridge the gap that had been created, it could at least fill part of it.
In addition, a series of military academies have been established in the Bracato system, which has also diluted the influence of the "Naisen Department".
