As the void suddenly shrinks, even if Li cangqiong is promoted one level this time, he is still the only one who is the captain of a small team under Emma's command, commanding 100 warships.
In a word, the first sub fleet under Lin Fan's first fleet has become a real gathering place for the younger generation of generals. Now the commanders of the ten sub teams are all new stars who graduated from the interstellar Military Academy in recent years. Even Emma has only graduated for five years.
At present, the most troublesome thing for Lin fan is that there are too few people who can be used. In particular, there are still ten fleets to be expanded in the future, which alone requires thousands of senior military commanders.
But the question is, where are so many people?
Take the current fleet regulations for example, only the commander can command the squadron, the brigadier general can command the sub fleet, and the lieutenant general can command the fleet!
Fortunately, there are only four fleets in the Federation, so there is no problem for the time being. However, the Federation will expand to 24 fleets in the next ten years. According to this rule, can people use it?
The commander of 20 fleets alone needs 20 lieutenant generals, 200 brigadier generals and 2000 lieutenant generals and colonels. Isn't that a joke!
This does not include the staff, bridge command group and so on needed by each fleet. There are also a large number of generals here. But where are so many generals in the four fleets?
From Starfleet headquarters? Don't talk about it. Most of the people there are just talking about things on paper. Isn't Kuyt's lesson enough?
In this regard, Lin Fan believes that we can not follow the old rules. In the future, in the first legion, everything should be in line with the strength. Strength is the basis of everything.
On the basis of satisfying the strength, Lin fan can adjust the rank of general to the next level.
To put it simply, the fleet commander originally needed a lieutenant general, but now, as long as you have enough strength, the lowest brigadier general can.
After the adjustment of the sub fleet commander, even if you are only a lieutenant commander, of course, the premise is that you must have enough strength to pass Lin Fan's test!
After this arrangement, a large number of generals who clearly have strength but are limited by their military ranks will have a wider way to rise, and at the same time, they will be able to solve the dilemma of the shortage of senior officers.
Even Lin fan has already thought that when the third fleet is ready, Emma will be the commander, and Li Tianqiong will replace Emma as the commander of the first fleet.
Lin Fan immediately formed a written report of this idea and submitted it to Sanders directly.
On that day, Sanders, as Lin Fan expected, told him that he agreed with Lin Fan's plan. In the future, Lin Fan only had to choose a good person to report to the higher authorities, instead of sticking to his rank.
Lin fan, who got a positive reply, immediately announced the news to the two fleets, which caused a wave of heated discussion. Most of them were quite supportive, except for a small number of conservatives who were very disgusted with it.
These people are used to seniority, especially in the third fleet!
To them, Lin fan will have to clean up sooner or later, but now is not the time.
After dealing with the fleet, Lin Fan came to the space research city under construction.
At present, the main body has been built, and the follow-up is to install other modules around the main body one by one, which will take about half a year to complete.
"Lin fan!"
Just entered the control room of Lin fan, heard someone's voice, immediately aroused a goose bumps.
Looking toward the direction of the voice, it is looking at a lot of young baizixuan, is using and just that voice extremely matching the resentful eyes, looking at yourself!
Lin fan can't help sweating behind, this white son Xuan won't have what kind of tendency!
"Cough, Bai Lao, long time no see!"
"Yes, it's five years. You haven't handed me a small card in five years!"
As he spoke, Bai Zixuan looked at Lin Fan bitterly, like a daughter-in-law.
This scene even attracted other people's attention. The fire of gossip was blazing in the whole central control room.
Lin Fan looked around the crowd, and immediately felt that it was really a beep.
People who don't know what you said thought I sent you love letters every day five years ago.
"Mr. Bai, it's too easy to be misunderstood."
"What's the misunderstanding? It's not you, boy. I'm looking forward to your coming and handing me a small card every day at Mars base, but it's only five years! How many five years to wait in life, huh? Tell me about it then! "
Poof... Lin Fan felt that the fire of gossip was burning fiercer.
Quickly interrupted the words of white son Xuan, lest he says more and more exaggerate.
"Mr. Bai, the war has been very busy these years. I really don't have time for scientific research. Moreover, you can still dig deep into those technologies before!"
"Don't you think so? Over the past few years, we have been doing more in-depth research based on your technologies. Now the second generation curvature engine is under test, which can double the current transition speed. ""At the same time, we are testing a new generation of warship gun, which I call plasma cannon. Compared with the current ion beam gun, it has a longer range, greater power and faster charging speed."
"By the way, great progress has been made in the engine. If the anti gravity engine, which is still tackling key problems, is successful, it will increase the maximum speed of the warship by more than ten times, and at least reach the speed of 50000 kilometers per second, becoming a real subluminal engine."
"There are other aspects..."
well, Mr. Bai is still the same old man. As soon as he talks about scientific research, he is too excited to stop!
However, Lin fan is still very interested in the second generation curvature engine and plasma cannon that Bai Zixuan said. Of course, if the anti gravity engine can also be developed, it will definitely push the Federation of human beings to the real level IV civilization.
Looking at still waving his hands excitedly and talking about Bai Zixuan, Lin fan had no choice but to smile bitterly!
