Federal Star, military headquarters.
Although the return of Yang Yi has not been officially announced, and Yu Hongyang and other insiders are under the control of the guards, it is definitely not a trivial matter that all the eleven members of the Military Strategy Committee have returned to the Federal Star. You know, the last time they got together was more than forty years ago. Just to ensure the personal safety of these big bosses, the guards imposed martial law and blocked the entire Federation Star.
If the military is the highest authority of the human confederation in wartime, and its scope of power exceeds that of the federal authorities, then the strategy committee is the highest decision-making body of the military, that is, the brain of the military. Simply put, any major issues involving cross-theaters must be reviewed by the Strategy Committee and can only be formally implemented after a vote is passed. The eleven members of the Strategy Committee have thus become the most powerful people in the military, and even the most powerful people in the entire Federation. Not only are they all marshals or grand marshals, they are also the overlord of one party, or represent more marshals and grand marshals. Simply put, any one of them has a huge influence. Take Yu Mingzhen as an example. He represents the Yu Family, and the Yu Family is the first family of the human federation. It not only possesses great strength, but also has a wide range of influence. Although Yu Mingzhen is not the head of the Yu family, every word he said in the military department represents the Yu family.
However, for more than two hundred years, the members of the strategy committee seldom gather together.
At the beginning, it was mainly due to safety considerations. The eleven members of the Strategy Committee are all very important. Even a few accidents will cause severe damage to the Human Federation. If the enemy is swept away by the enemy, the impact will be no different from a magnitude 12 earthquake. At that time, even if the human army is still guarding all fronts, the turmoil that occurs in the rear will destroy the morale and fighting spirit of the frontline officers and soldiers.
For this reason, the Strategy Committee will operate in a rotating manner after its establishment.
Simply put, eleven committee members take turns in command of the military headquarters, and the other ten committee members are in their respective jurisdictions and are responsible for guarding the defense line. Except for major decisions related to the entire federation and multiple lines of defense, they are all discussed and resolved by means of video conferences. In order to cope with the ever-changing battlefield situation and to facilitate the command of the army on various fronts, the rotating committee members have temporary decision-making powers, that is, matters within the scope of their powers do not need to be discussed with other committee members, and in accordance with the rules set by the military department, or the committee The decision made before is just implemented. While having greater power, the rotating committee also has a heavier duty, that is, responsible for guarding the homeland galaxy. Under normal circumstances, the legions directly commanded by the rotating committee members assume the responsibility of defending the home galaxy and the federal star, ensuring that the guards can unconditionally obey the orders of the rotating committee members. Of course, in order to prevent a certain careerist from sitting big during the rotation period, the rotation period is five years and cannot be re-elected. After the expiration of the rotation, the outgoing rotating member must explain to the strategy committee all the things done during the rotation and accept the review of the strategy committee. During the review period, the regiment commanded by the rotating committee member must be disarmed and sent to the barracks designated by the next rotating committee member. After the audit is over, the armed forces will be regained, and the scope of the original station. Normally, the rotating committee that takes over will return to the home galaxy with its own legion, and will receive the support of other committee members. Because no committee member has an absolute advantage in military strength, no committee member can stand alone against the attacks of other committee members.
This system has been maintained for more than two hundred years. Although there have been some problems during this period, it can generally be maintained.
The biggest problem is actually to provide the basic conditions for the formation of the warlord's separatist situation.
Quite simply, all committee members will spare no effort to train their own direct line of troops, even if it is not to compete with the military and federal authorities, but to defend their own fronts, they must have a strong enough army. With the rotation system, more convenient conditions are provided for these committee members. If the rotation system was adopted initially out of security considerations, after the various fronts have basically stabilized, it has nothing to do with security. The rotation system still exists, and it has become a fixed model, to a large extent because these committee members are unwilling to hand over their power, and even less willing to obey others, even the military and federal authorities.
Two hundred years is enough time for these committee members to sit up.
Just like this, the jurisdiction of the Human Federation is divided into eleven theaters, and each theater has several to dozens of key defense directions, that is, the main front. Each war zone is an independent kingdom, which belongs to the human federation only in name, but in reality it is in its own right. In other words, if it were not for a common enemy, and the enemy would not treat the human legions in different theaters differently, I am afraid that the human confederation would have already collapsed.
Of course, there is another crucial factor that maintains the human confederation, that is, the most important strategic resources are always in the hands of the federal authorities led by the Yu family.
This is the original energy converter that determines the combat effectiveness of the human legion.
The human federation can compete with the four second-rate top civilizations and has persisted for hundreds of years. Not only Yu Linglong has laid a solid foundation for the human federation, but also not only the officers and soldiers of the human legion fighting bloody battles on the front line, but also the Star Soul Queen for humanity , Or the gift to Yu Linglong has a lot to do with. It was after obtaining the sacred artifacts of the Star Weavers that the Human Federation gained the ability to mass-produce the original energy converters. Although the technology of manufacturing ordinary small primary energy converters has been mastered before, Yujia has established several production lines, but the key raw material for manufacturing primary energy converters, that is, the original crystal has been provided by the Zhixing family, and Yujia has never obtained the relevant Technology. After obtaining the sacred artifacts of the Star Weaver, the Jade Family learned that the original crystal came from the sacred artifact, and thus gained the ability to mass produce the original crystal.
Obviously, Yujia will not give such a key technology to outsiders.
In fact, the Yu family can occupy a dominant position in the federal authorities and thus control the entire human confederation, relying on the ability to produce primordial energy converters.
For hundreds of years, this key technology has always been in the hands of the core members of the Yu family, don't handle outsiders, even ordinary members of the Yu family don't want to touch it.
It is through the control of the original energy converter that the Yu Family has become the most powerful separatist force in the human federation, and other separatist forces have to please the Yu Family. It was precisely by taking advantage of this unique advantage that the Yu Family barely maintained the unity of the human federation, at least not letting the warlords fight each other.
However, in the face of a powerful foreign land, the Yu Family also has no ability to defend the human federation alone, and must rely on other forces.
In Yu Mingzhen's words, the Yu family has been balancing the situation by providing the original energy converter, so that the warlords of all walks of life will continue to work for the human federation.
Of course, it is not only the technology that produces the original energy converter that is controlled by the Yujia, but also more, such as all the higher military academies directly under the jurisdiction of the military. The officers trained by these academies are all related to the Yu family, and at least they need the small power converters provided by the Yu family when they are in official service. It is also through the relationship with the military officers that the Yu Family has the ability to exert influence on the marshal and generals of the separatist side.
In fact, this also involves a deeper issue.
That is, the output of the original energy converter, especially the output of the small original energy converter is always insufficient, and sometimes it can't even keep up with the consumption rate.
Obviously, this is the key issue that limits the combat effectiveness of the human legion.
Although we have obtained the sacred artifacts of the Star Weavers and mastered the technology of producing primitive crystals, the manufacture of primitive energy converters, especially small primitive energy converters, requires dozens of materials, some of which are extremely rare. Affected by this, the production efficiency of small primary energy converters has never been improved. Because of the limited output, the Human Federation could only arm a few officers and soldiers with small primary energy converters for hundreds of years. Although some veterans have obtained small power converters through awards and other methods, usually, only officers trained by regular military academies are eligible to obtain small power converters. In other words, most of the soldiers in the human legion are not soldiers. As for the necessary conditions for controlling and using the small primary energy converter, that is, the battle body, the Yu family has already found a solution with the help of the Star Weavers and Masons, and has already promoted the facts throughout the Federation to ensure that all new humans Have a combat body.
Of course, what the human federation needs is not only small primary energy converters, but also large primary energy converters, especially advanced goods used on warships and fortresses.
Although the output of large-scale primary energy converters is lower, the demand is much less, so the supply and demand problem is not very prominent.
As for the use of small power converters to arm all officers and soldiers, that is something that I dare not imagine, and no one has ever thought about it.
You must know that the total population of the Human Federation is close to ten trillion. After entering a state of full-scale war, all citizens of the appropriate age have the obligation to serve. Although more people are needed to engage in production work in the rear, not everyone has to join the army, but the strength of the human army has already exceeded 10 billion, and it is increasing at a rate of 5% every year. Obviously, it is impossible to make so many small power converters with the resources controlled by the human federation.
Fortunately, this is not just a problem faced by the human federation, and the four second-rate top civilizations are no exception.
In peacetime, because there is no need to keep too many standing legions, the four second-rate top civilizations can also implement the elite military policy, especially the Kunyang clan and the extreme clan. The standing legions are all elite troops, and all officers and soldiers rely on small primary energy The converter has gained a strong combat power. However, during the war, with the expansion of military power, coupled with huge war casualties, no civilization can continue to implement the policy of fine soldiers.
In fact, this is also one of the key reasons why the Human Federation can persist for hundreds of years.
Except for officers and a few veterans, the vast majority of soldiers in the corps on both sides of the war are ordinary, and at most they only use weapons and equipment driven by primitive energy.
According to Yu Mingzhen, if anyone can take the lead in solving the problem of producing small primary energy converters, that is, increase the output of small primary energy converters, whoever can take the initiative on the battlefield and even gain an overwhelming advantage, thus Victory in this war was quickly won.
