Chapter 49 Reloading and Synthesis
After the successful reorganization of all research-related business units, the next step was the industrial business unit.
As the sector that Fang Heng values most, the Industrial Division is very large.
The Industrial Division is divided into two parts: a military manufacturing plant and a civilian manufacturing plant.
The military manufacturing plant contains production lines for various weapons and ammunition, as well as production lines for armed robots, hunters, and so on.
These were all converted and expanded from the original manufacturing lines, and were placed in the nearby underground, connected to the hive by tunnels.
The civilian manufacturing plant consists of 10 multi-functional production lines that can be used to manufacture various civilian products.
The reason for adopting this multi-functional production line is that he does not intend to sell these civilian products; they are all for self-sufficiency, so there is no need to overproduce production capacity.
However, military manufacturing plants are different. The production lines for various weapons, vehicles, and combat robots are divided into very detailed sections so that when raw materials are plentiful, production capacity can be maximized to produce large quantities of military weapons and supplies.
At the same time, military reforms were also carried out concurrently with the reorganization of the industrial division.
The first thing is the organization of the military.
In addition to special operations, modern warfare also includes conventional corps-level operations.
At present, the heavy combined arms brigade of Dongda University is a good reference.
Based on this, Fang Heng planned to form a heavy combined arms brigade and three ordinary combined arms brigades.
A typical combined arms brigade usually consists of nine battalions: four combined arms battalions, one artillery battalion, one air defense battalion, one combat support battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, and one service support battalion.
A combined arms battalion consists of 5 combat companies, 1 artillery company, 1 support company, and 1 logistics company, for a total of 8 companies. The 5 combat companies are configured according to operational requirements, for example: a heavy combined arms battalion (3 tank companies + 2 armored infantry companies) or a light combined arms battalion (4 armored infantry companies + 1 helicopter squadron).
A combined arms brigade consists of a brigade headquarters, four combined arms battalions, one fire support battalion, one air defense battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, one support battalion, and one service support battalion, totaling 45 companies. It has approximately 2500 combat infantry, about 80 artillery pieces, about 120 tanks, and about 600 armored vehicles, with a total brigade strength of approximately 6000 personnel.
It seems quite complicated, but professional matters should be left to professionals. The only complicated issue right now is the combat personnel.
In fact, whether it's a clone or a robot, since they are man-made products, they will definitely have some defects. For the positions they are in charge of, it is more reliable to use natural people.
Fang Heng was naturally not worried about the loyalty of his subordinates. His golden finger was similar to the legendary memes, but it could be called a concept. As long as they became his subordinates, they would become more and more loyal over time.
So the commander decided to take a different approach, which was to use games for selection.
In the field of computer science, if Fang Heng claims to be second, no one on Earth dares to claim to be first, so strategy games and the like can be produced very quickly.
Soon, in less than a week, the game was completed and launched. It features both special operations and legion battles, and because it is an intelligent program, the AI opponents are also very strong.
Such games became very popular as soon as they were released, especially in Europe and America and the East, and a trend slowly emerged.
Ethan was also keeping an eye on the top performers in the game from behind the scenes, prioritizing sending test questions to people from the University of Tokyo.
The series of actions were swift, and the necessary command personnel were recruited in no time.
However, even with the renowned Star Group, many people still didn't come; only a handful of lone individuals arrived.
After a brief test, both parties happily signed the contract, and he officially joined the Star Group.
At this moment, on the Black Continent, at a military base 50 kilometers away from the Star Group, all combat personnel were assembled, awaiting Fang Heng's inspection.
This is the first light combined arms brigade to be formed, with a total of about 6000 personnel. It consists of 4 combined arms battalions, 1 fire support battalion, 1 air defense battalion, 1 reconnaissance battalion, 1 support battalion, and 1 service support battalion. The 4 combined arms battalions are composed of 4 armored infantry companies and 1 hunter company.
Although he knew the general organizational structure, Fang Heng was not clear about the details, so he configured the equipment in the combined arms brigade according to his own understanding.
He replaced the original helicopter squadron with a Hunter squadron, which consisted of 12 Hunter helicopters.
The armored infantry company consists of 9 hovercraft and 3 Colossus quadruped tanks.
In addition to these, the fire support battalion consists of 12 electromagnetic guns, equipped with explosive metal ammunition whose projectile power is three times greater than that of high-explosive shells of the same caliber, and whose fragmentation penetration is also twice as strong.
The air defense battalion consisted of 24 air defense gun vehicles. In fact, according to Fang Heng's idea, this combined arms battalion seemed unnecessary. Later, Ethan explained the reasoning behind it.
The air defense battalion not only forms air defense firepower, but also undertakes the air surveillance mission for the entire combined arms brigade. After all, air defense equipment is also equipped with radar, which can detect a long distance.
The reconnaissance battalion is responsible for forward reconnaissance and combat intelligence gathering for the combined arms brigade.
The support battalion is responsible for providing technical support, including remote intelligence gathering and ensuring smooth communication.
The final logistics support company was probably responsible for the logistics support of the entire army, including cooking, medical care, and so on.
Since specific information was unavailable online, Fang Heng could only rely on his own understanding.
After the entire unit was assembled, this was the first time he inspected it.
Time passed slowly, and after the inspection was completed, Fang Heng returned to his residence.
"Ethan, how long do you think it will take for this combined arms brigade to become combat-ready?"
"Commander, with at least six months of training, and if we disregard losses and participate in multiple battles, we can achieve initial integration and a certain level of combat capability within three months."
"Unfortunately, we still don't have enough time. Let's take it one step at a time."
With a sigh, Fang Heng wondered if his decision to form a combined arms brigade was the right one.
"The next stage will most likely be interstellar warfare, at which point the role of ground forces will be greatly reduced. However, combined arms brigades are indispensable to strengthen ground control, and they can meet the needs perfectly."
According to the combat strength estimates given by Dongda University, a mature combined arms brigade can sweep across the entire continent. As long as logistics can keep up, it is basically invincible.
War is all about logistics, and that's something we have no shortage of.
However, on Earth at present, Asia is controlled by the East and the Russians, but the Russians' focus is on Europe, while the Americas are the territory of the US. The only place that can be controlled is Africa.
Fortunately, the continent is large enough, rich in minerals, and has relatively fertile land; it's not all desert.
Although Montenegro is France's backyard, Fang Heng said that the United States and the United States might not be able to defeat France.
At the very least, with the support of both the British and the Americans, the French could occupy half of southern Africa.
With this foundation, Fang Heng's development speed can be much faster.
The repair progress of the Punishment is very fast, and the deep space probes deployed earlier did not detect any abnormalities. It can be confirmed that the Lizardman support fleet has not yet arrived. Since it has not arrived yet, it should not arrive for at least six months.
This gave him another six months.
Therefore, he had a different idea in mind: to form a fleet.
After returning from the Terminator world, the spores of the bio-warship were already placed in the cultivation pool, and now they are basically complete.
However, the current biological warships are still very small, about the size of a jackal fighter jet.
According to the previously designed cultivation method, these biological warships will be deployed to Mars and gradually grow by consuming organic matter on Mars.
Six months is enough time for these biological warships to grow to the level of frigates.
At this point, it enters the mature stage and stops growing.
There's nothing we can do about it. After all, this is the first time we've cultivated these spores for biological warships, and the exact results are still unknown.
Therefore, Fang Heng also had Ethan make two preparations.
First and foremost is the disciplinary account; regardless of the plan, this must be fixed.
Then came the new shipbuilding program.
The first ships built were interstellar frigates, which were small interstellar warships with similar functions to modern frigates on Earth.
Only a few of these interstellar warships were built; only five were ever constructed.
The real main battleships are still the star destroyers.
In Infinity War, the Tigris is an interplanetary destroyer. Although it didn't demonstrate much combat power in the story campaign and was even destroyed by the Olympus in one shot, its combat power is undeniable.
Like the Retribution, the Tigris was also equipped with a warp drive, allowing it to make rapid warp jumps within the solar system.
However, under current conditions, building such a warship is still somewhat difficult, which is why the plan to build an interstellar destroyer was cancelled.
While Fang Heng was busy, Xingchen Group gradually came into the public eye.
With its strong technological capabilities, globally bestselling functional beverages, and the strength of its military contractors, Xingchen Group has rapidly enhanced its international influence.
In Southeast University's domestic recruitment drive, Xingchen Group had a greater impact. Many of the recruited students and teachers were very envious after seeing the posts on their friends' social media.
Many people dream of working at Xingchen Group, since the salary is high and safety is guaranteed.
However, Xingchen Group's recruitment is extremely strict. Many people have to take the test in advance, but the questions are different for each person each time, so there is no way to cheat.
