When the report came out, each company commander had different expressions. After all, a normal battle group would not have such an imbalance in company numbers. The minimum number was a dozen people, and the maximum number was more than two hundred people.
Soshiyang didn't see any expression and just nodded slightly.
"What's the status of the new recruits' transformation?"
"The latest batch of successfully transformed recruits are 300 candidates from Nessin IV and 200 candidates from the Bracato system. In the end, all of them have undergone surgical procedures. A total of 467 people have been transplanted with black carapace. Thanks to the Uzbekistan
With the new equipment provided by Lan Huda and the enhanced medicine they produced using the STC template, compared to the previous 309 people, the success rate of this transformation operation is already close to the success rate of the transformation of recruits in the Great Expedition era, including 67 people in the 11th Company
At present, 35 people from the sixth company have been transferred, and 35 people from the sixth company have been assigned to the company, and there are still 365 recruits to be determined." (The statistics are the initial numbers when the battle group returned to their home planet, and this batch of recruits was not included)
This time the recruitment of Soshyan was carried out independently by the Pharmacists Association. Anyway, there are so many examples and standards of recruitment in the past. In fact, there is no need to pay special attention to it. Anyway, there is a crown of knowledge.
Obviously, it is imperative to increase the company.
"Now that the command level of the fifth company has been basically completed, 97 relatively experienced soldiers will be transferred from the tenth company to the fifth company. In addition, the original commander of the tenth company, Armin, will be transferred to the sixth company commander, and 110 soldiers will be transferred from the tenth company.
The Sixth Company was reorganized. The original Sixth Company was renamed Saber Company. The personnel structure remained unchanged. The new commander of the Tenth Company... was Sergeant Bahram."
When Soshyan revealed a series of personnel changes, some people looked surprised, while others looked calm.
In fact, these decisions were not made by Soshyan on a whim. He had carefully discussed it with all parties before, and it was Zaradon's request to break away from the framework of the Astral Knight Company. Before going to Terra and returning to Nai
On the way to Mori No. 4, he talked to Soshyan alone many times, and both sides made it very clear - this was not about the Crimson Sabers crossing the river and burning bridges, but that they realized that they were the same as the 11th Company.
It is difficult to truly integrate into this mysterious army. In this case, perhaps it would be better for everyone to keep a certain distance from each other.
Moreover, Zaraton admitted that the goal of the Crimson Saber was to avenge his former fallen brother, the Crimson Slayer. As for what happened next, strictly speaking, he was also confused. Maybe he could only leave it to the people who came after him to decide, but before that, he still
Hope to keep the soul and roots of the Crimson Sabers alive.
Soshyan also expressed his understanding of this. After all, the Crimson Sabers made great contributions and sacrifices during the expedition. He had no reason to accuse the other party of flying when their wings become stiff.
Of course, it does not mean that they have separated since then. The Crimson Sabers will still operate under the banner of a company of the Astral Knights. Their strength is still weak. Zaraton bluntly said that they must have at least four hundred people to make it possible.
Revenge against Kranon, but now their gene seed reserve can support more than one hundred people at most. The Crimson Sabers need to find ways to obtain their rare bloodline-the seeds of the former World Eater Legion through transactions and other methods.
As for Armin, Soshyan knew that the company commander he had brought up had always been eager to truly lead a combat company to fight on the forefront of the battlefield. After asking Bahram for his personal opinion, he finally decided to satisfy Armin.
This long-cherished wish.
After two rounds of transfers, there are only 36 people left in the Tenth Company, but there are still 365 recruits to be arranged. This is also the biggest feature of the Astral Knights in the past few decades. The ratio of recruits is very high.
Under such circumstances, maintaining a company of new recruits would appear to be a very strange company structure, so Soshyan announced a second major personnel appointment.
"Establish the 7th and 8th companies. The commander of the 7th company will be Sergeant Murad of the 1st company. 10 veterans will be transferred from the 4th company to assist. The staffing will be 110 people. The commander of the 8th company will be the sergeant of the 2nd company, Garian Kerr.
The personnel of the former Cruel Blade Squadron were transferred from the Second Company to assist. The company's personnel allocation is 80 people. The remaining recruits will all join the Tenth Company in addition to supplementing the personnel vacancies of other companies."
The 7th company is also a standard combat company. There is nothing to say about this, but the 8th company is more special. It is Soshyan's first attempt to establish a large-scale armored force. All the super-heavy armored vehicles of the future battle group,
In particular, armor that can threaten very large targets, such as tanks and destroyers, will be used by the 8th company, because after this expedition, Soshyan found that assigning overweight armor to the company is not efficient, and is often combined with airborne and rapid assaults.
It is difficult for the infantry to form a coordinated combat effect. It is very troublesome to transport these big guys from the orbit to the ground. A special landing site needs to be opened, and the combat company often rushes directly to the battlefield and has no time to wait for the troops of its own company.
Everyone rushed to the front line slowly. Relatively speaking, it was much better to be more flexible, faster, and easier to raid airborne speed attack boats, motorcycles, and even Land Raiders.
Therefore, it is better to use these great weapons of the legion era individually - after all, there are fifty Cruel Blades alone now.
"Naxin, when is the next batch of recruits?"
"Reporting to the Chapter Commander, the second batch includes 500 candidates from the Bracato system, who are receiving the first step of physical enhancement on the Avesta, and 500 candidates from Nessin IV.
, but they are still in the final stage of physical enhancement and have not started surgery. This group of recruits is expected to mature in five years."
"Five years."
Soshyan thought for a moment and nodded.
"The battle group can be restored to its current state, and the Pharmacist Association is indispensable. It has created so many new bloods with such a weak number. I suggest that everyone applaud our hardworking pharmacists!"
As Soshyan was the first to applaud, everyone in the audience hall also applauded.
Everyone agrees with Soshyan's words. You must know that 6 pharmacists accompanied the army during the expedition. In other words, these transformation works were actually done by 13 pharmacists, most of whom were apprentices, although there was also Ulan.
Huda's technical priests assisted, but the workload of selecting people and transforming them was very huge. Even now, some pharmacists still have deep tiredness on their faces. Talos even joked with Soshyan.
, Valier complained to him more than once, saying that Talos sold him to the Iron Warriors' construction site. Even when he was a traitor, he was never so tired, but now he often stays awake for two or three weeks in a row.
After the applause stopped, Soshyan immediately said to the chief pharmacist:
"Naxin, give priority to increasing the number of pharmacists. If you think any of the current recruits are suitable, you can apply directly. If there are suitable ones currently undergoing transformation, you can directly transfer them to the Pharmacists Association without applying. I
I’ll give you 30 units, no, 40 units.”
After a pause, he looked at Rogris and Yazdan.
"The same applies to the armory and the monastery. Priority is given to replenishing the number of personnel to 30. The frontline combat establishment needs to be replenished, and the functional personnel also need to be replenished."
