Chapter 153: Conversation in the Cafeteria
Finally, after finishing all the food on the table, the two entered the post-meal stage for a while, and they were full.
However, they would definitely eat again in a while, so they were not in a hurry to leave the cafeteria.
While the food was not digested, Yue Yuan quickly took out the military arrangements to discuss with Manyuemei.
If Yue Yuan is the leader of the dictatorship group, then Manyuemei and Zhupit are the two second-in-command of this group, one of whom controls external force and the other controls internal force.
So in a sense, the new human government is now a military-political system, but the power of the scientist group in the system is also very high. It is the highest-ranking group except for military affairs related to people's choices.
It is for this reason that the new government has established a chief scientist position, which belongs to a different system from the military, but both belong to the headquarters.
At this moment, after talking to Manyuemei about military and political affairs for a while, Yue Yuan talked about the fleet again: "After the expansion, the fleet's field work will still be under your control, but now it is different from the past. According to the full staffing of 3,000 people for each Shan-class battleship, there are 30,000 people, plus 60 Callisto-class battleships, each with a full staffing of about 1,000 people, and other frigates, the full staffing of the entire fleet is at least 100,000 people. What do you think about the management and command of such a large fleet?"
If it was in the past, a Callisto-class battleship would have at least 2,000 people to be considered full staffing, but now human artificial intelligence technology is more advanced, so the full staffing number only needs 1,000 people to operate a Callisto-class battleship.
The Callisto-class battleship is a battleship the size of the Callisto ship, not a battleship as large as Callisto. It is a battleship level specially defined by humans to commemorate Callisto, and now it belongs to a secondary battleship. .
"Management is not a problem. We can follow our previous system, the captain plus the scientific officer system." Manyuemei replied: "With the flagship Tianqin as the command center, according to the original system, each Shan-class battleship is equipped with a captain and a scientific officer. In principle, military actions are mainly carried out by the captain, and those with a heavier scientific nature are mainly carried out by the scientific officer.
Each Shan-class battleship is equipped with several Ganymede-class battleships and other types of ships as a small formation. The command is naturally carried out in accordance with our military tradition. The highest orders are all issued by the flagship. I don't need to say much about this. General Yue knows it."
"The most important thing now is the training of new recruits. After the expansion, I plan to select the best ones to board the ship, and then conduct daily training in the mode of old and new. Within five years, let The newcomers will be fully familiar with the warships, and then spend another five years to train the fleet's specific tactics, and strive to make the fleet form real combat effectiveness before arriving at the next destination."
"Also, the Shan-class warships use many new technologies and new equipment, so we have to be selective in expanding recruitment. I think we should reduce the number of pure warriors and increase the number of talents with special skills and expertise on board."
"Especially now that each Shan-class warship is fusion-driven and equipped with neutrino communicators, the demand for engine crew members and communications soldiers is even greater."
Man Yuemei talked freely, and in summary, in the space age, people with developed muscles and simple minds cannot board the ship, and everyone on each Shan-class warship must be a talent.
It is conceivable how much it costs to form combat effectiveness for a Shan-class warship. It is not just about building the warship, but also about talent training and various tactical training.
"Well, for the specific details of this matter, you will lead a meeting later, and then write a memorandum of the specific discussion details and keep a copy of it in the headquarters." Yue Yuan nodded to indicate that you just need a plan.
After talking about military topics, Yue Yuan had nothing to say. He did have a lot to say about scientific and social issues, but Manyuemei was not a scientist.
So at this moment, the two of them fell into silence.
If it were normal, they would leave after dinner, but now both knew that they would have to eat again, so they sat in the cafeteria, waiting for the food to digest.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and the two of them just sat there, as if they were staring at each other.
"Uh" After a while, Yue Yuan broke the silence, but he didn't know what to say except for military and work matters, so he just made up a topic: "What do you think of the universe."
"I didn't expect that Yue Shuai would care about other things besides work, it's really rare." This answer was very Manyuemei.
Yue Yuan shook his head secretly. He was clearly asking about the view of the universe, but he got such an answer, so he stopped talking.
But he didn't expect that after only a few seconds of silence, Manyuemei asked back: "What does Yue Shuai think of life?"
"It's nothing but birth, aging, illness and death." Yue Yuan answered casually.
Manyuemei could sense the perfunctory response, so she smiled and said, "That was the old concept."
"Drunk on the battlefield, dead on the battlefield." Yue Yuan said again.
That's right. After the military and political center moved to the Tianqin, once a war broke out, the Tianqin, as the flagship, would definitely be on the front line of the battlefield. If there was an accident, he would definitely be dead on the battlefield.
However, this answer did not seem to satisfy Manyuemei, so she shook her head, but did not ask further. Instead, her tone changed: "Would you like to hear my opinion, Marshal Yue?"
Uh, it was not a cold tone anymore. Yue Yuan looked at Manyuemei with some curiosity, wanting to see what her expression was now, but what he saw was a pair of cat's eyes. Except for feeling a little bit weird, he could not see anything.
So he nodded: "Of course."
After hearing Yue Yuan's answer, Manyuemei was silent for a long time, and she turned her head to look out the porthole from time to time. I don't know if she was thinking about something or adapting to the changes in her eyes.
After a while, she exhaled deeply, and then slowly said: "When I was a child, someone asked my father if I was afraid of getting old. My answer was: No, I want to grow up quickly."
"Later, I grew up slowly. I saw my grandfather who was about to die, my grandmother who was hunched over, and many old figures. At that time, my answer was to cherish my youth, so I joined the army."
"Until the sun was destroyed, and then I learned about the effect of the red gas found on Callisto, and humans began to sail under your leadership. At that time, I asked myself again, and my answer finally became so useless: I am afraid that my youth will no longer exist."
"Yes, I began to envy you who have hundreds of years of life, but I am not afraid of death. I just miss my youth. Isn't Yue Shuai curious about why I used the life potion at all costs at that time? This is the reason."
Yue Yuan nodded. It was the first time he saw Manyuemei like this.
Indeed, if he put himself in the other person's shoes, Yue Yuan felt that he would definitely do the same. Who wouldn't love a strong body and a young face? Not to mention women, men are the same.
