The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1084. Military Reform of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies (Part 1)

Several families were happy and some were sad. After three days of discussion, on July 22, 21BBY, following the conference on May 21, 22BBY, which announced the establishment of the Confederation, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies The second summit finally came to an end.

During this period of time, whether it is the Galactic Republic, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, or even the entire Milky Way, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

During this summit, Count Dooku's determination even surprised Tang Xiao. In his expectation, Earl Dooku should have been a little wavering, after all, Darth Sidious's influence on him was too deep.

But now, Count Dooku looked like he was going to go all the way.

This made Tang Xiao have to go back and speculate on some possible calculations, even conspiracies, that he might have behind the scenes.

Earl Dooku resolutely carried out a large-scale reform, and according to the plan, launched the commercial guild as cannon fodder. Then, in this reform, if it is expressed in a more straightforward description, it is - exchanging power for money.

During this reform, Earl Dooku began to purposefully gradually strengthen the administrative power of the core council of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but correspondingly required corporate giants including the Interstellar Banking Association and the Trade Federation to give up part of their own interests.

That is to say, from a purely commercial organization to a state-owned organization.

Of course, this is also a long-term plan and cannot be accomplished overnight.

In this reform, the first is to announce the cancellation of the private fleets of major companies. Except for the necessary escort fleets, all other large offensive warships must be assigned to the Navy of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy, and the Confederation of Independent Galaxy will also give certain financial compensation.

Then there is the finalization of naval warships and centralized procurement.

The naval warship model of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy has also been finalized. According to this finalization, many warship orders that cannot be reused in the war will be cancelled, including the Higra-class battlecruiser, the Generosity-class frigate, the Disobedient-class light destroyer, Ships such as the Rookie Hook-class battleship will be discontinued.

Moreover, the new warships selected are all models that can be put into mass production immediately, so that it is convenient to start production immediately.

Flagship: Conqueror-class battleship, Infinity-class supercarrier.

Main battleships: Behemoth-class battlecruiser, Shenyi-class destroyer (special artillery type), Martha-class heavy guided missile cruiser.

Support Ships: Doomsday Battlefield-class Battlecruiser, Shenyi-class Destroyer (Electronic Warfare Special Type).

Aircraft Carrier: Shenyi-class destroyer (carrier hangar special type).

Landing ship: C-9979 landing ship, Diamond-class transport cruiser, and the officially renamed Kesoff-class orbital assault landing ship after modification.

Small and medium-sized warships: Enforcer-class heavy destroyer, Guard-class light air defense destroyer, Xingzi-class maintenance drone carrier, and Lantian-class command cruiser.

Fighters: Vulture Droid Fighter, Triple Droid Fighter, Coyote Droid Bomber, Viking Fighter.

Escort warship: Gray Horse-class escort aircraft carrier.

In this naval construction plan, the Behemoth-class battlecruiser of the Interstellar Banking Association, the Endless-class supercarrier and the Shenyi-class destroyer of the Trade Union have all received a large number of orders, and the fourth group cooperates with these two to share the profits.

Unexpectedly, the warship submitted by the Salarians has been widely favored. Military experts of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy believe that the warships of the Salarians are even an era ahead of all existing warships! Therefore, they received orders for the doomsday battlefield-class battlecruisers and the enforcer-class heavy destroyers, and suddenly emerged as a high-tech race that attracted the attention of everyone.

And Dawn Star became the biggest winner, Martha-class heavy missile cruiser, Kesov-class orbital assault landing ship, guard-class light air defense destroyer, Xingzi-class maintenance drone mothership, Lantian-class command cruiser, Viking fighter, Gray horse-class escort aircraft carrier These are their products on the bright side. In fact, if the Fourth Group and the Salarians are counted, the Fourth Civilization actually accounts for at least half of the independent galaxy confederation's naval orders.

The Navy of the Confederacy of the Independent Galaxy did not take a fancy to the Ghost Fighter. This kind of fighter has begun to lag behind, and they have a large number of robot fighters, but they are not short of superior fighters. On the contrary, they favor the Viking fighters, which have strong air combat capabilities and can effectively attack large enemy warships. They believe that the powerful firepower of the Viking fighters just makes up for the current situation of robot fighters being flexible and lacking in firepower.

It was a surprise that the Gray Horse class was ordered. This cheap escort aircraft carrier was considered by Confederate military experts to be a very suitable escort spaceship. It would cooperate with the Guard-class light air defense destroyer and carry enough vulture robot fighters and coyotes. Robot bombers can perform almost all escort missions.

And, very cheap!

In this way, if the behemoth class and endless class that cooperated secretly are counted, it is equivalent to that the fourth civilization has monopolized most of the independent galaxy confederation navy!

As for the technology alliance, they don't have to worry about it for the time being, after all, the manufacture of robot fighters and combat robots is also their main business. Moreover, a large number of factories and interstellar docks under the Technology Alliance are also the main force for manufacturing these warships, but their factories and docks need to be modernized according to the current new needs.

The Enterprise Alliance still got a little leftovers, and the manufacture of the Diamond-class transport cruiser was handed over to them. In fact, the diamond-class transport cruiser is a product of the commercial guild, but after Shu Mai confronted Earl Dooku at the summit, it was clear that the commercial guild would lose this only opportunity.

Although the Diamond-class transport cruiser is simple and efficient, it is not an advanced warship after all. It is just a very useful multi-functional landing ship, which can be built for everyone.

In addition, the enterprise alliance itself has many robot factories, but orders in this area can also make up a lot of income.

After the naval battleship model was finalized, all factories under the Confederation of Independent Systems, including the largest shipbuilding yard, Parmante Port, began to adjust to produce all the parts needed for these warships. Orders were issued by the Confederation of Independent Systems, and a new department was established to plan the manufacture of warships.

Then, the Dawn Star, the Salarians, and the Fourth Group received some preferential treatment, because although their mass-produced Cole-class battlecruisers and Sowa-class aircraft carriers were not favored by the Federation of Independent Galaxy, the military experts of the Federation also It is also believed that although these warships have begun to become obsolete, they can still deal effective blows to the Republic fleet on the battlefield.

So they were allowed to keep the Cole and Sova and then slowly make the transition.
