Homeland galaxy, federal star.
Although the Silicon Magic army outside has been withdrawn, no one thinks it should be warmly celebrated, especially those from the colonizing galaxy, because for them, the war has just begun. The Silicon Charm army just withdrew from the homeland galaxy, and did not leave the North Fourth District. Even if the Silicon Charm army retreats all the way back to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, it will definitely destroy all the occupied planets or even completely destroy it when it retreats.
For those congressmen from colonial galaxies, as well as refugees living in home galaxies, colonizing galaxies are their home. Not to mention that the federal authorities will not allow them to stay in the home galaxy for a long time. They have no relatives or friends here, let alone the means of making a living. If the occupied colonial galaxy is destroyed, where can they stay when they are forced to leave their home galaxy
The question is, are there any soldiers to send now
Even if there is, where should it be sent
You know, in order to resist the powerful enemy outside and to defend the outer line of defense of the home galaxy, all nine theaters have sent the main force out. In the battle to defend the outer defenses, the Nine War Zones suffered heavy losses. More than half of the main army was wiped out, and the others suffered heavy losses. Although the Ninth Great War Zone had formed a large number of corps and recruited a large number of officers and soldiers before then, all that remained in the home galaxy were newly built corps. Not to mention the poor quality of the officers and soldiers. Most of the newly built corps even had three months of basic training. Not completed, let alone actual combat experience. This is also true. Before the perimeter defenses are completely destroyed, no one has thought about sending the newly-built corps.
In addition, there are not many new corps that can be mobilized in the Ninth World War Zone, which is far from sufficient.
Although after entering the state of wartime, the Ninth War Zone began to recruit soldiers with the authorization of the military department, but the battle situation developed too fast. In just a few months, the Silicon Charm army came outside the home galaxy. Because of the need to make up for combat losses, most of the recruited soldiers, especially those who re-service, were sent to the front one after another. Next, the Ninth Great War Zone also sent the first corps to the outer defense line.
In other words, there are not many legions left in the home galaxy.
More importantly, after the establishment of many corps, they did not obtain the necessary weapons and equipment. Not to mention heavy weapons, many newly-built corps cannot even guarantee a handful of light weapons. Even if there are, it is mainly those old weapons that have been sealed for thousands of years and have been outdated in performance.
Don't forget, this is just a few months.
Even if the Human Federation implements the basic policy of focusing on the military, it retains a large number of troops even in peacetime, and in order to deal with wars that may break out at any time, the Human Federation also seals up a large number of weapons and equipment to be used to arm the army after the war. . The problem is that the human federation does not have an industrial strength comparable to military power. In addition, it is impossible for the Human Federation to let the munitions factory produce at full speed in peacetime. In fact, in peacetime, most of the munitions factories of the Human Federation are in a half-operational state, and some of them are even maintained at the lowest production efficiency. The production capacity is only one-tenth of that in wartime, and it is only for the purpose of retaining skilled and skilled workers. . As a result, after the war broke out, even if the federal authorities declared that they had entered a wartime state, they could not get the munitions factory to operate at full speed immediately. According to the experience of previous wars, after entering a wartime state, the arms industry of the Human Federation will not reach its maximum production capacity until at least five years later. If the development of the war is unfavorable, for example, because the colonization of the galaxy has fallen in large numbers and thus cannot obtain sufficient resources, more time will be required. In the Fifth Greenwich War, the arms industry of the Human Federation reached its maximum production capacity only after the offensive and defensive war on Beacon Star was over. In other words, it took 50 years for the Human Federation to realize its war potential.
The current situation is actually worse than at the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War.
At the beginning, the Human Federation was not the only civilization in the Northern Fourth District. Although other civilizations were successively attacked by the Silicon Charm army, when Xiao Wentian led the human army to the Beacon Star, there were still several colonial galaxies under the control of the Human Federation, and then the resources produced by these colonial galaxies passed through the Jade Family A steady stream of secret routes have been transported back to the Garden Galaxy, ensuring the production of munitions, and providing a large amount of weapons and equipment and supplies for the frontline troops.
The current human federation has only home galaxies, and all colonized galaxies have either fallen or lost contact.
For this war, that little resource of the Home Galaxy is obviously a drop in the bucket.
Although the military, federal authorities, and the nine theater headquarters have been cheering the people on, especially after the Silicon Magic army began to retreat, the military and federal authorities launched a large-scale propaganda led by the military and federal authorities. It seems that victory is already at your fingertips, but no one mentions it. The most important issue is that of the approximately 5,000 newly-built regiments under the jurisdiction of the nine theaters, less than 1,000 regiments have enough weapons and equipment. In other words, the other four thousand legions lack the necessary weapons and do not have combat effectiveness, at least not enough combat effectiveness. Obviously, even if the officers and soldiers of the Human Legion have always been known for their bravery and fearlessness, it is impossible to defeat a powerful enemy with their bare hands.
However, everyone knows that now we have to race more enemies and must regain the lost colonized galaxy as quickly as possible.
In fact, the nine theater commanders all know this, and they all know that if the action is slow, then the enemy will leave a ruin after retreating. After losing all the colonized galaxies, relying only on the home galaxy, the human federation will inevitably fail.
A weak human federation may not even be guaranteed to survive.
The question is, where should the limited army be used
You must know that there are less than a thousand legions that can be used. Even if the defense of the home galaxy is not considered, and the legions that do not have enough weapons and equipment are reorganized, it is impossible to send troops to all colonial galaxies at the same time, let alone colonize all. The galaxy was taken back from the enemy.
In other words, a choice must be made, or a trade-off.
Obviously, the problem lies here.
Don't forget, the human federation implements the basic system of military and political unity. Although in peacetime, power is in the hands of the federal authorities, and the military has little real power, no one doubts the influence of the military, because at all times, the military is in the hands of the military. If it is only the military department, there is no problem. The point is that the military is just an organization that unites the nine theaters. The military power of the human federation is actually in the hands of the commanders of the nine theaters, and the military is controlled by a committee composed of commanders of the nine theaters. In other words, the military's influence on the nine theaters is very limited. Not to mention the control of the nine theaters, it would be great if the nine theaters can accept orders.
Of course, the key lies in the basic system.
Although the federal authorities have administrative jurisdiction, they are far inferior to the military power held by the nine theaters, especially in colonial galaxies. After nearly a thousand years of development, the jurisdiction of the human federation has been divided up by nine war zones, and the jurisdiction of the federal authorities is limited to the homeland galaxy. Simply put, the nine theaters are their own spheres of influence, and it is precisely those colonial galaxies that have been invaded by the enemy.
So, which colonial galaxies will be recovered first
Obviously, this is a problem, and it is a problem that cannot satisfy everyone no matter how it is handled.
If in the past, the nine war zones must have their own management, they will not be nosy, and they will not let others take care of nosy. The problem is that now is not the past.
The Silicon Magic army has begun to retreat, but it has not. If there are sufficient forces, there is no problem in each of the nine theaters. However, the strength of the troops was not sufficient. The nine battle divisions were equivalent to distributing the strength of the troops, which gave the enemy a chance to defeat them.
Obviously, no one would do such a stupid thing.
With only about a thousand legions, reasonable arrangements must be made, and a battle plan that can be accepted by all must be drawn up before the troops are dispatched, that is, the order of regaining lost ground. In order to assign a priority, a reference standard is also needed. As a result, on this standard, the nine leaders of the military have their own opinions, and they are not willing to give in. Someone suggested that resources, especially war resources, should prevail. Someone suggested that strategic value, especially geographic location, should prevail. Others suggested that the population and the natural environment should prevail. Some people even suggested that it should be based on the actual situation, that is, the extent of damage in the war.
If the standard is not determined, the troop dispatch plan is just a plan, not even a plan, at best it is just a good idea.
The problem is, it’s not good for everyone to drag it on.
What's more, the military has issued a "comprehensive war of resistance order" before this, which is tantamount to acknowledging the legal status of civil resistance organizations. If the military department has not sent troops, then these resistance organizations have the right to take action, including regaining lost ground, and then establishing a temporary military management agency. If the civil resistance organizations are allowed to take the lead, then when the military department makes the decision to send troops, there may be no place to recover.
In fact, such a thing has happened.
While the nine leaders in the military were still arguing over the plan to dispatch troops, some federal lawmakers from the colonial galaxy had already taken action, using their influence to contact the civil forces and trying to organize the resistance in their colonial galaxy. Provide support. Because the military and federal authorities have yet to give a clear explanation for the dispatch of troops, many civilian forces have participated. For example, the enterprises controlled by the Yu family have begun to provide supplies for the resistance organizations of the colonial galaxy, and they have also sent armed personnel. If this situation continues, when more and more civilian forces join in, not only the authority of the military and federal authorities will be shaken, but even the status of the military will be affected. When the resistance organizations of various colonial galaxies drive away the invading enemies, establish their own political power, and get the support of the rights of local residents, the human confederation will even become torn apart.
Action must be taken, and action must be taken as soon as possible, and there must be no further delay.
The military headquarters cannot reach an agreement, so they can only stand on their own. Although the forces are limited, it is impossible to regain all the colonized galaxies, and the most important colonial galaxy must be regained.
