Chapter 537: Drawing a Big Pie, Talking About the Future

The Eleventh Army was formed only three days later than the Tenth Army.

On 19 April, the Army High Command of the United Army formally ordered the establishment of the 11th Army.

The strength of the Eleventh Army, its ordinary soldiers are basically soldiers from the Zhongluo Prefecture area, and Lin Ziran did not use the main forces such as the First Army as a framework to expand it.

Instead, officers and some non-commissioned officers were transferred from each unit to supplement some of the surrendered soldiers in the direction of Zhongluozhou and reorganized into an army, which was the same as the previous reorganization method of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Armies.

The combat effectiveness of this army is bound to be relatively weak, and even advanced rear-loading artillery is not expected to give them much, because their combat mission is mainly to defend against the Kasi Kingdom in the south of Central Luoju.

And the strength of the Kassi Kingdom, although it is stronger than the Kingdom of Danna, has a larger population, and can barely have some industry, but this country can exist on the edge of Daheng without being annexed, in fact, it is similar to the Kingdom of Danna, all because of the terrain.

Not because of how strong they are, but because the Carlo Mountains and the vast rainforest make it difficult for Daheng's army to overcome!

In fact, the people of Daheng have fought several times in history, although they have also conquered, but in the end they have failed, because the non-combat casualties are too large, after the troops go south, often even the enemy has not been found, and most of them have been killed and injured due to various diseases.

In addition, there is really nothing in the southern region, and the people of Daheng are not interested.

Later, the Daheng people simply played the Huairou co-optation policy, as long as you help me control the Endless Strait, then the other Daheng people don't care so much.

It is more difficult for even the Daheng people to go south to fight these two countries, and it is equally difficult for these two countries to attack north.

On the side of the Kingdom of Dynaudio, there are still factors of the Orissa Empire, and there may be some unnecessary changes, plus the eastern peninsula area of Ningyu Prefecture is a key area to hold Shayang Bay, and it must be guarded by heavy troops.

As for the Kasi Kingdom's side, the terrain on Daheng's side is even worse, and the army is even more impassable, and the Kasi Kingdom's side is not too impressed by the Orissa Empire, so the defense task of the Eleventh Army is not too heavy, and putting an Eleventh Army here is just a precaution.

Therefore, after weighing the Daheng Unification Army, the Army Command made a decision to let the Tenth Army maintain a certain combat effectiveness in case the situation in the Kingdom of Tanor changes.

However, on the side of the 11th Army, it was a little ignorant, although a new unit was set up, but not a single new rifle such as the Luo'an Type 3 rifle was given, except for a batch of 18 mm modified rear-loading rifles, or a part of the modified 18 mm rifled rifles that were originally used by the captured Zhongluo Prefecture Domain.

As for artillery, the entire army was given only sixteen rifled guns rear-loading guns, all of which were second-hand goods replaced by the First Army, and the barrel life was almost expired......

Well, the Army Command, on its side, didn't expect the Eleventh Army to do anything, just keep on guard against the southern border.

In fact, even the Tenth Army was not bad, and there were not many breech-loading rifled guns.

The 11th Army and the 11th Army are positioned very obviously, that is, to stabilize the rear and guard against the two southern countries by the way, so they are much inferior in terms of personnel and weapons and equipment.

The essence of the Daheng Unification Army is still in several main forces, especially the three infantry corps of the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army, as well as the First Cavalry Army and the Second Cavalry Army.

These five army-level troops are the main force of the current Daheng Unification Army.

In the case of the other armies, there will be a main force more or less under their banners, but it is not said that they are the same as the five armies mentioned above, all the main forces.

And now, the First Army has begun to move north, facing the northwestern states as the main force of the western front.

The reason why the First Army, the core main force, was dispatched as the main force of the Western Front, in addition to the relatively strong strength of the Northwest State, was also related to the Northern Alliance.

To the north of the Northwest State, there is the Northern Six Nations Alliance, and the Great Heng Empire has not fought with the Northern Six Nations Alliance before, and even the Northwest State itself was originally part of the Northern Alliance, but it was later robbed by the Great Heng people.

Considering that after the Daheng Unification Army marched into the Northwest State, the Northern Six Nations Alliance may take the initiative to intervene in the south, and this area may face greater pressure.

At the same time, this place is too far away from Nanhai Prefecture, the supply line is too long, and it is difficult for the logistics department of the Daheng Unification Army to supply too many troops to fight in this area, so the core force of the First Army was chosen to go north.

Trying to gain an advantage over the Northwest states while maintaining too many troops under logistical pressure, while guarding against the intervention of the alliance of the six northern states.

The Second Army and the Third Army, the other two main infantry armies, are now on the northern front, the Third Army is on the northeast front of Dongdingzhou, and the second army is on the northern front of Quyang Prefecture.

From the current troop mobilization and deployment of the Daheng Unification Army, especially the deployment of logistics materials, it can be clearly seen that the Daheng Unification Army is already making final preparations for the Northern Expedition.

Once the Daheng Unification Army completes its strategic deployment and reserves sufficient ammunition and other supplies, then it will be the time for a full-scale Northern Expedition.

And the more critical this moment, the busier Lin Ziran is.

Even getting married by myself only freed up one day!

On April 21, Lin Ziran, Marshal of the Daheng Unification Army, officially married Meng Yuling, the granddaughter of the 11th Duke of Meng!

However, on the day of the wedding ceremony, Lin Ziran was actually busy meeting with military and political dignitaries from all walks of life, including the new state commanders of Dongding Prefecture, Zisheng Prefecture and other states, some county guards, and some military generals.

It is worth noting that although Lin Ziran appointed the state orders and county guards of each state, he did not give them the authority to govern the troops, and the state orders and county guards under Lin Ziran were pure civilian officials, and even the local garrison troops had no authority to govern.

Lin Ziran didn't want to see all kinds of feudal towns appear on his territory!

Therefore, many of the powers of local officials were directly abolished, and even the power of taxation was abolished, but the tax department under the Ministry of Finance of the Marshal's Office was replaced, and the tax agencies of the prefectures and counties were directly under the jurisdiction, and the local officials had no right to govern.

When local officials have no military and financial power, it is difficult to form local power, and then evolve into local feudal towns.

On the day of the wedding, Lin Ziran met with a large number of people, busy with things that did not touch the ground, and his head was dizzy.

Even on the second and third days after the wedding, Lin Ziran was still busy meeting people, there was no way, many people took advantage of this wedding to see Lin Ziran.

As the chairman of the huge company of Daheng Unification Army, Lin Ziran still needs to continue to encourage his friends who follow him to start a business, investors from all walks of life.

Draw them a big pie and talk about the future!
