The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

493. The Growth of Civilization (2)

In fact, it was precisely because of the potential population explosion that Tang Xiao often put the phrase 'living space' in his mouth when he held meetings with Count Dooku and the others.

Now the population of Planet Dawn is 400 million, and this planet with a diameter of 4,900 kilometers is only one circle larger than the moon with a diameter of about 3,800 kilometers. If we want to ensure the existing quality of life and ensure that the environment is not destroyed on a large scale, Then the population of Dawn Planet cannot exceed 1 billion.

This is the result of calculations that the star ring of Dawn Star has been completed, and almost all heavy industries and polluting industries are placed on the star ring.

Because in this matter, a potential ethnic issue is also involved-the Ewoks.

With the gradual civilization of the Ewoks, their population has gradually increased to more than 5 million. When batch after batch of systematically educated Ewoks enter the society, they will gradually pay attention to this issue.

They will see humans and other races as aliens, invaders who have taken over their planet. Although Tang Xiao has been committed to solving this problem through cultural assimilation, it is hard to guarantee that no one will think so. Once such a thought sprouts, it is difficult to eradicate, and it is likely to cause racial disputes on the planet.

In fact, this is also the reason why Tang Xiao has not awakened and cultivated other races besides the Salari and the Wolf Man so far. Even the Wolf Man was cultivated as a vassal of the Salarian.

Therefore, it is necessary to divert the line of sight, and move everyone's eyes away from the small dawn planet, and put them in the vast Milky Way.

This is living space.

The expansion of the Kuna star cluster is only the first step. At present, the fourth civilization has established a stable colony on the planet Kuna's Fang, and has begun to absorb a large number of immigrants from other planets. As the atmospheric transformation of the planet Kuna's Fang began, the living conditions of the planet were gradually improving, and now it is no longer necessary to wear respirators when going out for a short time.

The current population of Kuna's Fang planet has increased to more than 4 million, most of whom are other races. But Tang Xiao is already asking the Governor of the Kuna Star Region, Volgograd-Kanidi, to implement a new immigration plan. This plan will gradually emigrate 50 million human residents from the Dawn Planet in the next five years.

The main task of these immigrants now is to expand, expand, and expand again.

The emigration of these human residents is not that the Fourth Civilization wants to implement racist policies, but that it intends to culturally assimilate immigrants of other races through these human residents, so that these people can truly become members of the Fourth Civilization. Because the Kuna star cluster will serve as the main immigration receiving area of ​​the Fourth Civilization, the immigrant population here is expected to exceed 200 million in the next five years.

At the same time, in the previous war with the Ails, the prison planet Thornell, which was taken over from the Ails, will continue to exist as a prison planet. In addition to expanding the prison on the prison planet, it will also build on the planet A barracks that was actually not too different from a prison.

Because the quasi-war policy has been implemented, the army of the Fourth Civilization has also been snowballing.

At present, the number of troops in the fourth civilization has reached 2 million, and 8 infantry divisions and 6 mechanized infantry divisions have been established. The Fourth Civilization currently does not have a dedicated armored division, but only one armored regiment under each infantry division, and two armored regiments under the mechanized infantry division.

At the same time, each division has a staff of 20,000 people and 10 regiments. 10,000 of them are natural persons, and another 10,000 are robots, mainly B-1 battle droids and B-2 super battle droids. The battle group composed of these robots will be responsible for some assault or near-death missions, and the natural person battle group will be responsible for the main attack task.

The reason why the coverage rate of armored units is so low is mainly because the fourth civilization has been expanding its army and expanding its army. All the arsenals are serving the ever-increasing army, and there is simply not enough productivity to make the equipment of these armies better. .

This is also the reason why the Army of the Fourth Civilization did not undergo a third refit after the second overall refit, replacing the M-15 Defender assault rifle and the Liberator combat uniform—because the population is With the continuous adoption of frozen embryos and the continuous snowball growth, the army naturally does the same.

If it covers every individual in detail, what the Fourth Civilization needs to do is to solve a series of problems such as rations, housing, education, employment, production, training, and equipment for every citizen grown from frozen embryos within five years. The extremely short growth cycle of frozen embryos has also brought great pressure on productivity. So far, the Fourth Civilization has been able to handle these problems well, which is already very good.

Tang Xiao also understood why the number of frozen embryos carried on the mothership was only 5 billion, because if there were more, the population explosion would be unimaginable, or even unbearable.

Human beings are very capable of giving birth. Just give you 5 billion young adults. A planet as big as the earth will explode within 30 years.

According to the prediction of General Xian Hui, the commander-in-chief of the army, the army of the fourth civilization can basically guarantee a great advantage over the natural soldiers of the Galactic Republic. However, Admiral Xian Hui judged based on the plot information provided by Tang Xiao, and he raised a very serious question, that is, the ace in the hands of the Galactic Republic—the clone army.

The cultivation mode of the clone army is similar to that of the Fourth Legion secretly established by Tang Xiao, but because the content of the combat database of the Fourth Civilization is much more comprehensive than that of the Galactic Republic, which has been peaceful for thousands of years and almost all relevant combat data has been lost. The combat experience of the army will be slightly inferior to that of the Fourth Army in the early stage, but they will basically be invincible against the ordinary army of the Fourth Civilization.

The clone army of the Galactic Republic is about 3 million. This army will be led by Jedi Knights in the future and become the sharp knife-like force of the Republic. Although these 3 million people are very few on the battlefield of the entire galaxy, if they are used for breakthroughs in some key areas, they will be a terrifying force.

Not to mention that with the productivity of the Galactic Republic, the equipment of the clone army will undoubtedly be the best! Every soldier will be armed to the teeth! Compared with the fourth civilization, which has been constantly choosing between quantity and quality and has a headache, this is simply the difference between a local tyrant and a loser.

Because of the existence of the hyperspace channel, this clone army can move around in a short period of time, destroying the resistance in one theater after another.

Tang Xiao understood that in the Clone Wars in the original plot, the Confederation of Independent Systems started with a huge advantage at the beginning, and then lost the war step by step.

Moreover, Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao also conducted a series of combat simulations. The result of the simulations is that if the Galactic Republic invests 300,000 to 500,000 clone troops on Dawn Planet without considering space operations, then the resistance of the Fourth Civilization will will be destroyed.

Admiral Xian Hui told Tang Xiao that such a situation must be avoided. In other words, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies must be allowed to withstand the most important offensive of the Galactic Republic. The full blow of the Republic!

The power gap in this war is just that huge!

But...you have to fight! And to win!
