Chapter 1963: Six Imperial Marshals with the title of Imperial Marshal
The training and assessment of ordinary crew members continued in an orderly manner.
However, similarly, the leadership of these newly added 35 legion fleet groups, especially the commanders at all levels, also needs to be arranged in advance.
The sudden availability of so many positions had been a major headache for the military.
If we follow the previous arrangement where every fleet commander could become a marshal, then there would be 35 more marshals.
This would undoubtedly seem somewhat cumbersome for the Dragon Star Empire.
To this end, the military headquarters of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire added some new military ranks.
Originally, this applied to the rank of general.
They are brigadier generals without stars, major generals with one star, lieutenant generals with two stars, generals with three stars, marshals with four stars, and a grand marshal with five stars.
To date, there have only been three five-star marshals.
Zhao Chen, Charlotte, and Lilith.
There are more than forty four-star marshals.
And this was a rank that existed during the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire era.
Clearly, if the Dragon Star Empire is to expand its military on a large scale, then this top-level military rank is obviously insufficient.
Therefore, under the arrangement of Grand Marshal Charlotte.
Some reforms were carried out.
First, the title of Five-Star Grand Marshal will be abolished from now on, but the current three Grand Marshal titles will be retained.
The title of Five-Star Grand Marshal has been changed to Five-Star Imperial Marshal, and an additional rank has been added above it, which is also considered to be the sixth level.
Imperial title of Marshal.
The five-star imperial marshal is relatively simple; it's just a higher level than the four-star marshal.
The title of Imperial Marshal, as the name suggests, is above that of a Five-Star Imperial Marshal, but in terms of actual power, there is not much of an increase.
However, to obtain the rank of five-star marshal, one needs to have extremely outstanding performance.
Five-star marshals have a very special privilege: they possess hereditary noble titles and hereditary territories.
Hereditary noble titles, as the name suggests, mean that although they cannot inherit military ranks, their descendants are considered to be of the highest nobility and can enjoy the most prestigious noble treatment.
The meaning of hereditary territory is even clearer: possessing territory almost forever.
Neither of these military ranks has anything to do with Charlotte or Lilith.
According to the published regulations, Charlotte and Lilith will no longer participate in any competition.
This means that, under Emperor Xiaolong's arrangement, Charlotte and Lilith will be unique beings.
In the future, they will be an existence that no one can surpass or replace.
Let's get back to the main topic.
The title of Imperial Marshal is one more than that of Imperial Marshal.
This title will be bestowed by the Emperor of the Dragon, representing unparalleled glory.
"Is everything confirmed?" Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte, who had come up to him and handed him a report.
It concerns the promotion and appointment of personnel related to this war, as well as the personnel arrangements for the future thirty-five legion fleet groups.
"It's basically all finalized. Please take a look," Charlotte said.
Zhao Chen opened the document, and several electronic screens appeared in front of him.
Zhao Chen didn't care about the arrangements for officers below the rank of general.
Zhao Chen glanced at the newly promoted officers and remembered everyone's name and appearance.
Then proceed step by step upwards.
Since the Five-Star Imperial Marshal and Imperial Title Marshal are newly added, they are basically newly appointed.
In this first round of appointments, six marshals with imperial titles appeared at once.
The remaining four-star marshals were all promoted to five-star imperial marshals.
The fleet commanders of the newly established legion fleets will temporarily be four-star marshals.
In this way, there is a stratification between the new generation and the older generation, which facilitates subsequent management and promotion arrangements.
Zhao Chen's gaze lingered for a relatively long time among those imperial marshals.
【Red Eyes, Commander of the Blizzard Ace Fleet, Imperial Title Marshal, Title: Crimson Storm Imperial Marshal】
It's a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), but it fits Akame's current image and character design.
She was also a member of the older generation of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, and in any respect, being granted the title of Imperial Marshal was more than enough.
【Su Lan, Commander of the Starry Sky Queen Elite Fleet, Imperial Title Marshal, Title: Starry Sky Queen·Imperial Marshal】
This was a direct bestowal of the title of "ace fleet" upon her, because her talent and ability were truly perfect for it.
No one can replace her as the commander of the Star Queen Ace Fleet; she is unique.
【Snow White, Commander of the Hell Angels Ace Fleet, Imperial Title Marshal, Title: Hell Sirius Imperial Marshal】
【Shen Bing, Commander of the First Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Army, Imperial Title Marshal, Title: Xuanbing Imperial Marshal】
【Chu Xuan, Commander of the Second Fleet Group of the Dragon Squadron, Imperial Title Marshal, Title: Empress of Chu, Imperial Marshal】
The Empress of Chu, also known as the Chu Empress.
This appears to be a reward for Chu Xuan, but it also indirectly acknowledges the Chu family's contributions to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Since that incident involving the Chu family, under the arrangement of Old Master Chu Changhe, the Chu family has kept a low profile and has not taken the initiative to participate in any events.
However, if the Dragon Star Empire issues a summons, they will obey at all costs.
This led many outsiders to believe that the Chu family had lost the favor of the Dragon Emperor, and some even harbored some ulterior motives.
Now, the Empress of Chu's bestowal of this honor is tantamount to telling everyone that the Chu family is still the same Chu family.
Among the many titles, those prefixed with a family surname are the most common.
Is this just a coincidence?
【Medusa, Third Fleet Group of the Wyvern, Imperial Title Marshal, Title: Reef Serpent Queen Imperial Marshal】
Medusa was one of the first alien races to join the Dragon Star Empire, besides Lilith and Charlotte, and she brought her own race's forces with her.
This can be considered a precedent.
The Reef represents Medusa's current fiefdom, which is the Reef Starfield where she previously resided.
There were a total of six Imperial Marshals.
The fact that there are three members in each of the regular Imperial Legion fleet groups and the elite Legion fleet groups reflects this.
In the eyes of the Dragon Emperor, it doesn't matter whether it's the Elite Legion fleet or the Imperial Legion fleet.
He will treat everyone equally, and will not give more special treatment to the former just because they are elites.
As for the others, they were initially assigned to the position of Imperial Marshal, and they all have the opportunity to advance to the level of Imperial Title Marshal in the future.
In Zhao Chen and Charlotte's plan.
In the future, within the vast system of the Dragon Star Empire.
There will be twenty Imperial Marshals.
Fifteen seats have already been reserved for the time being.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these fifteen seats will be theirs.
The remaining five
