Leaving the destroyer at the airport, David took the landing ship and flew to the surface of Star Betalia.
There is not even water on the surface of the Bedaleya star, and there are craters everywhere. This kind of planet without an atmosphere has no protection in space, and it will be attacked by meteorites from time to time.
This place is completely unsuitable for human survival, but there is a large-scale base on the surface.
After David's landing ship was authenticated, it flew into the base.
When he stepped off the landing ship, he saw several majors waiting for him.
"Captain Faulkner of the First Fleet has met the Chief of Defense!"
"Second Fleet Formation Captain Noel has met the Chief of Defense!"
"Captain Hausmann of the Third Fleet has met the Chief of Defense!"
"Major Handel of the Logistics Department has met the Chief of Defense!"
After several majors saluted David, they introduced themselves one by one.
David's spirit was very sensitive, and he immediately sensed that the three captains were obviously hostile to him. Although the three captains hid it very well, they couldn't hide in front of him unless there was no hostility at all.
However, he couldn't rely on this to take down the three captains, and even as long as the other party didn't do anything, he was a little helpless.
"Captain Housman, you are moving very fast!" David nodded lightly to the majors, and then said to Captain Housman.
He came back with Captain Hausman. Although the other party said that he was hostile to him in his heart, he deliberately rushed back before him and greeted him here.
Captain Housman is a fat major in his thirties, he looks very friendly on the surface, and when David speaks, his face is full of smiles that want to get closer.
"Chief of Defense, are you the 'Federal God of War'?" Major Handel of the Logistics Department asked with glowing eyes.
Major Handel had long heard that the three frigates formed by the Fourth Fleet pretended to be air robbers and were caught by David, and he even heard that David was the "Federal God of War".
As a soldier who worshiped the "Federal God of War" very much, Major Handel never thought that the "Federal God of War" would come to Bedalia and become his superior.
"'Federal God of War' is also an ordinary person, nothing special!" David had a good impression of Major Handel, and he replied with a smile.
"Defense Chief, it's a great honor to meet you!" Major Handel saluted again.
David returned the salute with a smile. Although three of the current majors of the Defense Force were hostile to him, there was still one who supported him.
"Major Handel, show me the base!" David ordered to Major Handel.
"Yes, Chief of Defense!" Major Handel replied without hesitation.
"You guys go ahead and talk about it after I understand the situation of the base!" David nodded to the three captains.
Sitting on the armored hover vehicle, Major Handel drove the car himself, and took David to visit the base.
This base is divided into a surface part and an underground part. The surface part and the underground part form a spherical shape. In this huge spherical area, the base energy in the center provides the entire base with an energy field that binds the air.
Although it looks like the base is not sealed from the outside world, there is a human living environment inside the base, while outside the base is an airless environment.
This energy field is also a defensive shield, which can provide extremely strong defense for the base.
"Major Handel, how long have you been in the Planetary Defense Force of Vedaleya?" David asked with a smile.
In fact, as long as David arrives at the office of the chief of defense and uses the identity bracelet to verify his identity, he can learn all the information about the current defense force.
It's just that he needed to find a point of entry for the topic with Major Handel, so he asked this question.
"Yes, I have been in the Betalia Planet Defense Force for fifteen years, and I have stayed here since I was sent here!" Major Handel replied with a smile.
"I heard that there have been a lot of personnel transfers recently. How many soldiers are still stationed in the defense force for more than half a year?" David continued to ask.
"Except for Major Malcolm who was captured by you and the soldiers on the three frigates, only the soldiers on the two frigates and the soldiers on the defense base have been stationed for more than half a year. Come here, this kind of situation is really rare!" Major Handel was addicted to speaking by David, and he said everything he knew as soon as he opened his mouth.
David nodded. He was not too worried that the three fleet formations would turn against him. The power of the commander in the army was still very large. The three fleet formations could not use battleships to attack him at all. , he need not worry.
It's just that the situation here is a bit complicated, and he needs to spend time sorting it out.
During the visit, David had a pleasant conversation with Major Handel, and Major Handel expressed full support for David.
After the visit, David came to the chief guard's office at the base, which had been closed before and could not be entered without the corresponding authority.
David walked into his office, which was divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outside room was the adjutant's area, and the inside room was his office.
Now he has not arranged for an adjutant, and he is the only one in the entire office.
Use the identity bracelet to open the door of the inner room. The furnishings in the office are the standard major general standard. Compared with ordinary offices, there are separate cloakroom areas, rest areas and meeting areas.
David went directly to the desk and sat down. He activated the light curtain with his identity bracelet. The terminal here is the dedicated terminal of the Planetary Defense Chief, and it is also the terminal where the internal database of the entire Bedalea Planetary Defense Force is completely open.
David looked at the light curtain, and all the information of the entire Betalia Planet Defense Force appeared in front of him.
The Betalia Planet Defense Force has nearly 6,500 soldiers, including about 400 soldiers, 20 frigates, 40 landing attack ships, plus a base and a space airport.
On weekdays, at least one fleet formation will be responsible for duty at the space airport, and the rest of the fleet formation will be resting.
It can be said that the Betalia Planet Defense Force is not only extremely weak in combat power, but also extremely easy in tasks.
It's no wonder that Captain Malcolm has time to take three frigates out to rob, the management here is too loose.
David even saw 4,500 soldiers and 15 frigates, including 300 soldiers in the army, all of whom were transferred in the past ten days.
According to the records, the last time such a large-scale rotation of the Bedalean Planet Defense Force was more than 40 years ago. rotation.
David wanted to find out where the three fleet formations were transferred from, but found that his authority was not enough for inquiries.
He also checked the information of the three fleet formation captains, Captain Hausman, Captain Faulkner, and Captain Noel, and found that they were all excellent captains who had received awards.
Comparing the information of these three captains with Captain Malcolm who was captured by David before, you will find that Captain Malcolm is completely incomparable with these three captains.
It can be said that the three captains are officers with great prospects in the future, while Captain Malcolm is an officer waiting to die. Maybe until he leaves the army, he is only a major, and he cannot have any chance of promotion.
The transfer of three captains like this to the Betalia Planet Defense Force is itself very self-explanatory.
David began to check other information of the Defense Force, and learned about the Bedaleya Planet Defense Force from various aspects such as logistics, combat readiness, and warehouses.
The master-level 'military command' allowed him to check these materials very easily and find out many problems from them.
David sorted and categorized the problems he found, and spent his first day on Planet Betalia busy.
At 9:00 a.m. the next day, in the conference room of the base, all the middle and high-level officers of the entire Betalia Planet Defense Force were present.
David sat at the main seat, and beside him were the three captains and Major Handel of the logistics department.
David saw familiar adoration in the eyes of the officers present, including the officers of the first, second, and third fleet formations.
Generalissimo Andre personally recognized David's status as the 'Federal God of War', and he saw its importance at this time.
After David's arrival yesterday, the news of David spread throughout the Betalia Planetary Defense Force. The fact that the 'Federal God of War' became the Defense Chief of the Planetary Defense Force made all the soldiers extremely excited.
The legendary "Federal God of War" came to them, which made every soldier want to see this federal legend with his own eyes.
David looked into the eyes of the officers. He believed that even if the three captains ordered to attack him, it would be difficult to get the consent of all the soldiers. The "Federal God of War" is the representative of the heroes of the Federation.
This may be a way that Marshal Andre thought of protecting David. At least in the army, it would be very difficult for anyone who wanted to use the army to deal with David.
"When I received the order to serve in the Planetary Defense Force of Bedalea, I was still full of longing for this place, but yesterday, the first day I came here, I saw the ugly side of the Planetary Defense Force. Three ships It is a disgrace to the federal army that the frigate has become an air bandit!" David said in a deep voice.
His voice was not loud, but with the blessing of the identity of the 'Federal God of War', coupled with the fact that he consciously added some spiritual influence to his voice, all the officers in the conference room felt oppressed.
"I checked the previous information of the Bedalean Planet Defense Force and found many problems. I will send these problems to all parties involved. You must make changes in a short time, otherwise I will find an officer who can change to replace you. !” David continued.
He distributed the information compiled yesterday to officers of various responsibilities, and almost all the defense officers present had a copy of targeted information.
Only the formation of the three fleets did not receive any corresponding information because they had not exposed any problems due to their first arrival.
Major Handel also received a piece of information. He opened it and immediately saw many problems in the logistics department. Some of these problems he knew, and some he didn't even know.
Major Handel couldn't help being surprised. In just one day, David took out such a document. From this, it can be seen that David is proficient in army command.
If David was a senior officer, Major Handel would be understandable, but David is obviously too young an officer.
In addition to admiring David, Major Handel felt more reverence for David.
Major Handel turned his head and glanced at the other military officials of the Defense Force in the office. They all had solemn faces. From this, it can be seen that the information in everyone's hands is extremely important.
He couldn't help but lament David's methods, just in this way, all the officers of the defense army were afraid of David.
It can be said that the information provided by David made it easier for David to manage and control the defense force. In addition, David can use his own authority to directly lock all the frigates of his subordinates. The next day, the defense forces were under control.
Afterwards, as long as David slowly subdues the three captains, the Bedaleya Planet Defense Force can be completely turned into David's defense force.
It's just that Major Handel's thinking is completely different from David's. David didn't want to subdue the three captains at all. David was already very sure that the three captains were sent against him.
No matter how hard David tried, he couldn't subdue the three captains.
"From today onwards, all fleet formation actions must be reported to the Defense Department, and no unauthorized use of warships is allowed. Once there is military law!" David said in a deep voice while looking at the fleet formation officers.
The three captains actually wanted to refute it, because such a rule would delay the fighter plane. Once an unexpected situation occurs, it must be reported first before dispatching, which greatly reduces the response speed of the fleet formation.
But they were unable to open their mouths. The management loopholes in the formation of the Fourth Fleet, David took this opportunity to strengthen the management and control of the formation of the fleet, and no one could fault it.
In addition, this is David's first official order after taking office, and the timing of the three captains jumping out at this time is not right.
So the three captains looked at each other without making a sound.
"If you have any questions, you can ask them now. If there is nothing else, the meeting will end!" David stood up and glanced at all the officers.
All the officers stood up, saluted David and exited the conference room.
"Major Handel, you need to pay more attention to the work of the logistics department. I need the logistics department to ensure that all warships can be fully replenished and dispatched at any time!" David said to Major Handel beside him.
"Chief of Defense, please rest assured that the logistics department will definitely make changes!" Major Handel heard that there was no blame in David's tone, and quickly stood up and said.
"Three captains, the crew members who will take turns to rest in the future need to have morning training with the soldiers of the defense force every day, and participate in various activities in the defense force. The crew members working on the battleship are also defense soldiers. I need them to integrate Come into the group!" David turned his head and said to the three captains.
The three captains knew in their hearts that David wanted to reach out to the crew. If he participated in the morning training every day, plus participating in various activities, with the ease of duty on the Bedaleya star, these crew members might be It will soon be truly integrated into the defense force.
But they couldn't refuse. After all, the original duty task was too easy.
