Strongest Commander of Interstellar

As the void shrank suddenly, the First Fleet ended its transition and arrived at Horton.

The terrain here can be described as one man holds the pass, blocking ten-thousand, and there is only a narrow starpath to the outside. It was once known as the first pass of the Oax Empire!

At this moment, the original Third Fleet is stationed at the exit of this starpath, under the command of the former Adjutant Bartland of Quette.

After Chris takes office, the original Third Fleet will be officially renamed the Federation Interstellar Fleet First Army Regiment Second Fleet, and Batland will become Chris' adjutant.

At the same time, because of Chris's departure, Emma, ​​who became a brigadier general, naturally became the commander of the First Squadron of the First Fleet.

Because Li Cangqiong did not have enough military rank, even if he was promoted to Level 1 this time, he still had only a colonel, temporarily serving as the commander of a squad under Emma's command, commanding 100 battleships.

Speaking of which, the first squadron under the Lin Fan First Fleet has become a gathering place for younger generation generals not just in name only, but also in reality. Now the commanders of ten squads are He is a new star who graduated from Interstellar Military Academy in recent years. Even Emma has only graduated for 5 years.

For now, the biggest headache for Lin Fan is that there are too few people who can use it. In particular, there are ten fleets to be expanded in the future. This alone requires thousands of high-level military personnel. Command talent.

The question is, where are so many people?

Take the current fleet regulations as an example, you can only command the squad until the lieutenant colonel starts, the brigadier general can command the squadron, and the lieutenant command the fleet!

Fortunately, the entire Federation now has only 4 fleets, so there is no problem for the time being, but the Federation will expand to 24 fleets in the next ten years. According to this rule, can people use it?

The commander of 20 fleets alone requires 20 lieutenant generals, 200 brigadier generals, and 2,000 lieutenants and colonels. Isn’t this a joke?

This is not counting the staff, bridge command group, etc. that each fleet needs. A large number of generals are also needed here, but where are there so many generals in the four fleets?

From the headquarters of the interstellar fleet? Don't talk, there are mostly people who can only talk on paper. The lessons of Quette before are not enough?

In this regard, Lin Fan believes that it is not possible to follow the old rules. From now on, in the First Army group, everything will be in line with strength, and strength is the foundation of everything.

On the basis of the ability to meet, Lin Fan can adjust his military rank down to two levels.

To put it simply, the fleet commander originally needed a lieutenant general to serve, but now, as long as you are strong enough, the lowest brigadier general is fine.

After the squadron commander is adjusted, even if you are just a lieutenant colonel, of course, the premise is that you must have enough strength to pass the Lin Fan test!

After such an arrangement, a large number of generals who are clearly capable but are limited by insufficient ranks will have a broader upward path. At the same time, it can also solve the predicament of a shortage of senior officers.

Even Lin Fan has already figured it out. When the third fleet is organized, Emma will be the commander, and Li Cangqiong will replace Emma as the commander of the first squadron.

Just do it, Lin Fan immediately put the idea into a written report and submitted it directly to Sanders.

On the same day, Sanders was as expected by Lin Fan and informed that he agreed with Lin Fan's plan. Lin Fan will only need to select a good candidate to report in the future, instead of defending his military rank.

Lin Fan, who received a positive reply, naturally announced the news to the two fleets immediately, which caused a considerable wave of heated discussions. Most of them were quite supportive, except for a small part. Of conservatives are very disgusted with this.

These people are accustomed to seniority, especially in the Third Fleet!

For them, Lin Fan will clean up sooner or later, but it is not the time yet.

After dealing with the fleet, Lin Fan came to the space research city under construction.

At present, the main body has been constructed, and the follow-up is to continue to install other modules around the central main body one after another. It will take about half a year to complete the work.

"Lin Fan!!!"

As soon as Lin Fan entered the control room, he heard someone's grieving voice, and suddenly got goose bumps.

Looking in the direction of the voice, it was looking at Bai Zixuan, who was a lot younger, looking at himself with the faint eyes that closely matched the voice just now!

Lin Fan couldn't help but sweat from behind. This Bai Zixuan would not have any tendency anymore!

"cough cough, Old Bai, long time no see!"

"Yes, it's been five years, you haven't handed me a small card for five years !"

As Bai Zixuan said, he looked at Lin Fan with a grimace, like a very angry little daughter-in-law.

This scene even attracted the attention of others around, and the fire of gossip ignited in the entire central control room.

Lin Fan looked at the people around him, and suddenly felt really beeping.

What you said, people who don’t know thought I sent you love letters every day 5 years ago.

"Old Bai, what you said is too easy to misunderstand!"

"What's the misunderstanding? It's not you brat, I'm looking forward to you at Mars Base every day I'll come over and pass a small card, but this time is five years, five years! How many five years can be waited in life, eh? You can tell me about it then!"

Puff.. .Lin Fan instantly felt that the surrounding gossip fire was burning more fiercely.

I quickly interrupted Bai Zixuan's words, lest he become more exaggerated.

"Old Bai, the war has been busy in the past few years. I really don’t have time to engage in scientific research, and you can still dig deep into the previous technologies!"

"It's up to you. In the past few years, we have used your technologies as the basis and have been conducting more in-depth research. Now the second-generation curvature engine has been tested, and the current transition speed can be doubled."

"At the same time, there is also a new generation of battleship naval guns, which I call plasma cannons. Compared with the current ion beam guns, it has a longer range, larger formidable power, and is charged. The speed is also faster."

"By the way, the engine has also made great progress. The anti-gravity engine, which is still under research, if successful, will increase the battleship’s maximum speed by more than ten times, at least It can reach a speed of 50,000 kilometers per second and become a true sub-light engine."

"There are other aspects..."

Well, Old Bai is still the Old Bai, scientific research When I spoke of which, I was so excited that I couldn’t stop!

But Lin Fan is still very interested in Bai Zixuan’s second-generation curvature engine and plasma cannon. Of course, if the anti-gravity engine can also be developed, it will definitely push the human federation up. A real four-level civilization.

Looking at Bai Zixuan who was still waving his hands in excitement and talking non-stop, Lin Fan had to smile helplessly!
