"Tier 3: Dragon Empire Guards Fleet"

This will consist of some second-line JF-17 series interstellar warships, such as the previously retired T3-class interstellar warships.

Its main responsibility is to manage security patrols within the territory of the Dragon Star Empire.

They could be considered police officers within the territory of the Dragon Empire.

As for the quantity... it's uncertain for now, because we are currently facing a shortage of our own interstellar warships.

In short, retired starships should be prioritized for assignment to the Sentinel Legion fleet.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen basically understood these three levels.

The military management system within the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire had already been established, and these systems served as internal checks and balances.

If I'm not mistaken, the last two levels should be for external use.

"Tier 2: Dragon Legion Fleet"

In other words, the current structure of our Xiaolong Legion can be seen as the future regular combat fleet of our Xiaolong Empire.

The number still needs to be increased; it is currently less than one million ships.

This was enough to meet the organizational requirements of twenty Falcon Legions.

That's far from enough.

Zhao Chen nodded. One of the important plans for the new year was to expand and reform the Xiaolong Legion.

This is a good opportunity to do it.

"Level One: Elite Legion within the Dragon Legion"

This can also be considered our conventional combat fleet, but it is stronger than other JF-17 Thunder Legion units.

They may not have the most interstellar warships, but they are definitely the strongest among the Xiaolong series of interstellar warships!

Previously, our JF-17 Thunder Legion had always followed a small but elite approach.

Although the number of interstellar warships was small, the elite legion fleets maintained an advantage on the battlefield.

But things are different now. We can no longer rely solely on the "small but sophisticated" approach to develop our military system.

We need to take a two-pronged approach.

The previous second level took into account the size and number of the fleet.

The first level is to continue the strategy of being small and refined.

In this way, we have both directions.

On the battlefield, when facing the enemy, you can deal with them more easily! Charlotte finished explaining the five-level military system.

Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.

These things don't seem to be a problem at the moment.

"Are there any more detailed aspects?" Zhao Chen asked.

Charlotte nodded, emphasizing the first and second levels: "About these two levels."

We all have our own ideas.

First of all, as you mentioned before.

We need to revise the organizational structure of our JF-17 Legion again.

Upon hearing this, the veteran marshals behind him all shrugged helplessly.

The JF-17 Legion made changes in this regard very quickly.

Basically, it's revised once a year.

Moreover, it was entirely out of necessity.

Without modifications, it would not be suitable for the rapidly developing Falcon Strike Force.

"First, we will carry out a major expansion of the military."

We will establish a new tier on the JF-17 Legion.

The Xiaolong Legion Fleet Group comprises ten Xiaolong Legion Fleets, each with 50,000 interstellar warships.

In other words, a single JF-17 fleet comprises 500,000 interstellar warships.

This was an idea that Zhao Chen had mentioned to Charlotte before.

As the JF-17 Thunder will face large-scale battles in the future, it will require a large-scale, unified command military system.

Otherwise, if things were done the way they used to be, 500,000 interstellar warships would likely require nearly 20 Dragon Legions, each commanded by a different Dragon Legion commander.

Even with the Dragon Emperor in command, efficiency would be significantly affected.

With a larger command system, command can be carried out more quickly and efficiently.

"Regarding the first level as well."

We currently have plans to build several elite fleet legions.

There is no hard and fast rule on the number of interstellar warships in an elite fleet; they can arrange their fleets according to their own needs.

Current construction plans.

It is an elite fleet of the frontal offensive type, which I command, mainly looking for opportunities on the main battlefield to find a breakthrough for the JF-17 fleet group.

If the entire JF-17 Thunder is a spear in a battle, then the elite fleet under my command is the spearhead.

The second elite fleet will be under the command of Commander Su Lan and will be built ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) around an aircraft carrier combat system.

The third elite fleet will be commanded by Commander Akame, and will consist of star cruisers and star battlecruisers.

The main objectives are to infiltrate and pursue the enemy, provide battlefield support, and so on.

The fourth elite fleet, commanded by Commander Snow White, will consist of interstellar missile ships and interstellar heavy artillery ships, forming a fire support system.

The fifth elite fleet will be commanded by Zhao Wan'er and staffed by interstellar stealth bombers. Its main missions will be assassination, ambush, interception, and attack.

"These are the five elite fleets currently planned. If there are other needs in the future, we can build more." Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen was very satisfied with these arrangements; he really didn't need to worry about anything.

Charlotte arranged all his military affairs.

Charlotte's ideas about the ace fleet perfectly aligned with Zhao Chen's.

Even the flagship T6 interstellar warships produced in the future could serve as the flagships of these elite fleets.

"Then we need to hurry up and carry out the reform."

.bg-ssp-10081{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;}

The two Zerg lairs have remained, although no action has been taken yet.

But we cannot let our guard down.

One month.

"Can we complete this fleet military reform?" Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte seriously.

Charlotte nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

We will complete the reform of first- and second-level military units by mid-February!

However, all of these processes require Your Majesty's cooperation.

Even with the change in position, it is still necessary to assign different generals to different posts.

These all require your personal orders and arrangements.

"I see."

Zhao Chen also knew that he was now the emperor of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, and that he needed to formalize things in many ways.

Many rules need to be re-established.

For example, one of the most important ones.

Military rank system.

Prior to this, the rank system of the JF-17 Legion was somewhat simple.

Commander, Legion Commander, Fleet Commander...

Because the Dragon Legion was nominally still under the Star Empire, it was using some of the Star Empire's officer titles at the time.

When the civil war in the Starry Empire ended, Queen Qin Xiaolei even conferred titles upon Charlotte and others.

If I remember correctly, Zhao Chen even had the title of regent at that time.

Things are different now; many things need to change.

----

Captain's Room

Zhao Chen took out a blue tube.

Something very familiar.

Super Soldier Potion.

This is one of the three T6 redemption options available in the first quarter of this year.

Because of its special nature, Zhao Chen naturally couldn't take it out.

I've only just managed to find the time.

Recalling the scene of taking the T5 Super Soldier Potion, Zhao Chen swallowed hard.

But remembering his current identity, Zhao Chen resolutely plunged the vial into his chest, and the blue liquid inside was injected into his body.

Zhao Chen gasped.

The next second, he collapsed onto the bed.

There was no pain, no sensation.

Zhao Chen felt he had never slept so comfortably before. When he opened his eyes, his mind felt incredibly relaxed.

He sat up and looked around.

On the bed in the captain's cabin bedroom.

If he hadn't been certain that he had ever possessed the T6 Super Soldier Potion, Zhao Chen would have truly believed that he had just taken a nap.

Zhao Chen waved his fist at the void.

Unlike before, Zhao Chen did not feel any significant increase in power this time.

It seems... nothing has changed.

"Could it be that the T6 Super Soldier serum I was injected with this time was a fake?" Zhao Chen muttered in surprise.

He activated the medical robot in the room and carefully examined his body.

Make sure your body is exactly the same as before.

"What exactly is going on?" Zhao Chen asked, puzzled.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on with this super soldier serum that was injected this time.

Without an answer, Zhao Chen naturally couldn't figure it out either.

It can only be put on hold for now.

He opened the system interface.

A new year.

Looking at the empty taskbar.

Zhao Chen frowned again.

To date, the annual and quarterly targets for this year have not been updated.

Zhao Chen had encountered quarterly task delays before.

However, the annual task has also been delayed, which is a first.

Zhao Chen squinted, examining every interface of the system, trying to find the cause of these strange occurrences.

But nothing came of it.

Bump Bump Bump

A knock came at the door.

"Go in," Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the generals have arrived."

"Your job today is to discuss and finalize some military matters with them," Lilith said, opening the door.

"Okay, I'll be right there." There's a lot going on right now.

Zhao Chen could only put these doubts aside for the time being.

After changing his clothes, Zhao Chen rejoined his work.

Several legion commanders had already arrived in the conference room.

The next step is the discussion and formulation process.

Soon, after discussion among everyone,

A new rank system for the JF-17 Thunder fighter jet has been established.

From low to high, it is divided into five grades and twenty-one levels.

There are five ranks: soldier, sergeant, lieutenant, field officer, and general.

Soldiers are ranked from lowest to highest as privates: privates, privates, privates, and privates.

Sergeant ranks: Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant Major.

Company officer ranks: Warrant Officer, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain.

Officer ranks: Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Senior Colonel.

General officer ranks: Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, General, Marshal.

"Soldiers and officers, mainly the lower and middle ranks of a department within a starship."

Lieutenant officers are either department heads or hold important positions on the bridge.

The captain of a starship is at least a colonel, and can also serve as the captain of a fleet of three hundred starships.

Senior colonels and junior generals can serve as commanders of corps with a capacity of three thousand starships.

The commander of a legion of 50,000 starships must be a general.

The commander of a JF-17 fleet or elite legion must be a marshal or general.

Furthermore, these ranks can be awarded to local lords of varying ranks, but the word 'honorary' must be added before the title. Although they belong to the JF-17 Thunder system, they do not grant the holder the right to directly command the JF-17 direct-line fleet.

Zhao Chen reiterated the military rank plan that had been formulated.

Everyone agreed.

The next task was to be taken care of by Zhao Chen himself.

That is to appoint and confer ranks on officers at all levels for the Xiaolong Empire fleet after the current military reforms.

These were finalized very quickly.

Zhao Chen also instructed his secretary, Lilith, to hurry up and hold the first conferment ceremony for the Xiaolong Empire.

Just three days later.

This unexpected conferment ceremony of titles by the Xiaolong Empire has attracted a lot of attention.

This conferment ceremony also brought together newly appointed lords from various regions.

On the day of the conferment of ranks.

The awarding ceremony was held in a banquet hall on the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship, where thousands of people gathered.

"I hereby announce that the conferment ceremony of the Dragon Star Empire is about to begin."

Next, those whose names are called, please come up to the stage.

"His Majesty the Emperor will confer titles upon you." Secretary Lilith announced, standing before a device shaped like a small bird, her voice echoing throughout the hall.

Then, the curtain rose.

Zhao Chen, dressed in magnificent and solemn attire, appeared before the crowd.

In an instant, everyone present stood up and bowed to the emperor in unison.

"Long live the Emperor!"

Zhao Chen remained expressionless, simply standing there.

Lilith then began reading out the list of those to be awarded titles.

Only a very small number of officers received their ranks personally from the emperor; the rest were assigned to other personnel.

"Shen Bing, commander of the First Legion Fleet of the Xiaolong Empire, is hereby awarded the rank of Marshal."

Although Shen Bing already knew about this arrangement, she was still very excited.

She slowly walked onto the platform, stood in front of Zhao Chen, and gave a military salute.

An etiquette lady came up early carrying an exquisite wooden box.

Zhao Chen took out a marshal's badge from the wooden box and put it on the person wearing it.

"Long live the Emperor!" Shen Bing stood up straight again and shouted.

He then stepped off the stage under the watchful eyes of the audience.

To outsiders, this arrangement was quite unexpected.

Logically, Charlotte should be the commander of the First Legion Fleet of the Dragon Empire, since she has always been the top military officer under Zhao Chen.

"Chu Xuan, commander of the Second Fleet Group of the Dragon Empire, is hereby awarded the rank of Marshal."

This time, the Chu family members who were invited to the event were all very surprised.

Many people looked on with envy at Marshal Chu Changhe.

"Congratulations, Marshal Chu."

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Now your Chu family truly has two marshals in one family."

"I've heard that the Dragon Empire now has a fleet of 500,000 interstellar warships at full strength."

Your granddaughter is now commanding 500,000 JF-17 interstellar warships!

Marshal Chu Changhe was genuinely happy for his granddaughter at this moment.

Watching his granddaughter being pinned with the badge symbolizing a marshal by that brat Zhao Chen.
