From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 285 The Reappearance of the Large Corps
Time passed like this day by day.

During this period, Atlas Engineering Construction and Development Co., Ltd., which had arrived at Rubian 5, began large-scale post-war reconstruction work on the planet.

As for the Lubion Galaxy Autonomous Government, it has a 'green light' for all the needs of the Atlas engineering project team, and will even take the initiative to find the engineering project team to ask for help.

The administrative adjutant, secretary-general and others who are in contact with Atlas also have smiles on their faces when they see several leaders of the engineering project team every day.

The reason for this situation is simple, that is, the Atlas Group has carried out large-scale investment operations in the Lubion system.

In the plan submitted to the galaxy autonomous government, Atlas Group plans to invest in the construction of multiple large-scale refining centers, alloy smelting processing plants, and large shipyards in the galaxy.

At the same time, on the planet Rubian 5, a large number of factories and biological research institutions were built, and each project was constructed at the level of a 'galaxy-level transaction'.

In order to have enough personnel to take charge of the positions in these factories, Atlas Group is also preparing to invest in the construction of several technical colleges to reserve personnel.

Looking at the astronomical figure in the investment amount column on the "Investment Plan" that could make a dead man laugh from his grave, the management of the entire Rubian Galaxy Autonomous Government never lowered the corners of their lips.

Because of this, the work of Atlas Engineering Construction and Development Co., Ltd. in the Lubion Galaxy was carried out extremely smoothly.

Even after a certain cocktail party, they also negotiated a big business project of "large-scale replacement of ground equipment of the garrison troops and annual large-scale exercise contracting project", which was given to Atlas Industries and private military companies for their respective projects. Brought a lot of extra money.
While the people in the engineering project team were thriving in the Lubion Galaxy, other subsidiaries of the Atlas Group were also constantly creating "new performance highs."

Anyway, when Amber looked at the soaring line chart in the monthly report sent by Lilith, the corners of his mouth were also grinning.

The interest-free loan of 800 million psychic points that Ellenita lent him had already been repaid with an additional 200 million in 'interest'.

According to Amber, the 200 million is purely a 'return on investment' for Ellenita.

On the other hand, the size of the combat forces affiliated to Atlas Private Military Company has also continued to increase during this period.

After word of the battle aboard Lubion 5 spread among the Roma community, the number of people who signed up even reached a new high.

The high casualties did not deter these Roma people from signing up, because the high allowances, bonuses and even pensions for combat troops had already ignited their hearts.

The comprehensive training center in Babel has also been continuously expanded during this process.

Amber even, with the help of Ellenita, took ownership of a large piece of nearby land and built it into a very large actual combat training base.

The speed of the entire training center's "explosion" is completely different from before. A large amount of experience summed up from the battlefield has been continuously added to the training program after optimization.

The comprehensive strength of the trained Roma recruits has also been greatly improved compared to the first batch of Roma recruits when they just completed training.

At present, Atlas Private Military Company has 15,000 people, excluding the space fleet.

In terms of organization, there are exactly three combined brigades: heavy, medium and light.

According to the latest revised annual force building plan of Atlas Private Military Company, six combined brigades will be rapidly expanded within this year.

And then the nine brigades were organized into two to three division-level units.

After the battle aboard Rubion 5, Amber and the combat staff came to a conclusion. That is, the comprehensive combat capability of the combined brigade has indeed been tested, and such a flexible organization will still be needed in the future.

However, in future wars, the ground forces of the major forces will eventually upgrade their campaign-level units to 'division-level units' or even larger 'group armies'.

The 'division-level units' that are flexibly combined into heavy, medium and light composite brigades will have similar status at the command level and operational level as the current brigade-level units.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the combined brigade once again exposed the problem of insufficient manpower in the increasingly intense battles.

Except for the "orbital strike and land washing" situation, ground combat is actually still a "grid occupation" game in essence.

Highly information-based troops can certainly be broken into pieces and interspersed, but the prerequisite is that there must be a stable front line behind them.

And if you want to maintain a stable front, then the number of effective forces used to 'fill the line' is absolutely indispensable.

Although under the influence of various technical weapons, the deployment width of the combined brigade has actually exceeded that of the previous 'division-level units', it is still a drop in the bucket in a planet-scale battle.

Just like the battle on Rubion 12, the two sides in the central continent combined a total of brigade-level units. The result was a fierce fight around Ptolemaic City and the two satellite cities attached to it.

Neither the coalition forces nor the imperial forces actually have the ability to continue to extend the width of the front. The scope of the three cities is the limit of their control.

Especially these giant cities, whose central axes are often tens or hundreds of kilometers long, require even more troops in battle.

If you think about it through these reasons, in future battles, if you want to completely control a planet, the troops required will not be able to be done by a few combined brigades.

Therefore, Atlas took the lead in completing the construction of division-level units. In the subsequent establishment of ground forces, 'divisions' will become the basic combat units at the campaign level.

As for why it has not been directly built to the level of a 'group army', the main reason is that the current combat troop delivery capabilities cannot keep up.

In the future, with the improvement of cross-system strategic delivery capabilities, Amber will also consider raising the organization to the 'military' level.

Generally speaking, there will be three to four combined brigades under a division, and depending on the "combat specialization" of the division, the types of subordinate combined brigades will also be different.

In the current plan, it will be divided into five types: assault division, mobile division, assault division, line filling division, and reserve division. It will be fine-tuned according to subsequent changes in combat form.

The assault division is the main offensive force, and its main task is to kill, wound and annihilate the enemy's effective forces in battle.

Mobile divisions are used to 'put out fires' on the front line, or to carry out large-scale tactical insertions.

The task of the assault division is to attack and capture the enemy's fortified city clusters or ground combat fortresses.

The line filler is easy to understand. The equipment level is also the most common level. The main task is to fill the line and maintain the stability of the occupied area.

Just as Amber was immersed in the joy of 'organizing troops' every day, Lilith's 'automated intelligence collection network' in the empire finally obtained an important piece of information.

The contemporary emperor of the Star Dragon Empire is critically ill.
