Chapter 451: 300,000 Army
Since asking Cheng Hongbin to find Lin Ziran, the contemporary Duke Meng has been waiting for the follow-up, but waiting, waiting, waiting, but he couldn't wait for the reply from the state order.
At the same time, he also found that the old nobles who came to him before were no longer going to him, and they were still raising funds, and many of them were still gathering the children of the family to join Lin Ziran's account.
Even Cheng Hongbin, who he was looking for before, was no longer here, and when he inquired, Cheng Hongbin was already directly enrolled in the Luohai branch of the Nanhai Military Academy with some of the children of the old aristocracy.
After moving into Luohai County, the Southern Navy also took over the largest military academy in Nanhai Prefecture, that is, the Luohai Military Academy, and served as the Luohai branch of the Luoan Military Academy.
At the same time, on the basis of the school, a senior commander's refresher course has been set up, which mainly selects materials from the grass-roots officers on active duty of the whole army for advanced training, with the aim of training senior officers.
When Cheng Hongbin first came to Lin Ziran, he had already expressed his intention to serve, although Lin Ziran could not use him directly, he did not refuse, but asked him to go to the military academy like those old aristocratic children.
What, no matter what the situation is, send it in for brainwashing and then say, if it is successfully washed, it will be used, and if it is not washed successfully, it should be dropped.
Although the contemporary Duke Meng is a bit of a loser, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, he quickly woke up, and those guys bypassed him and negotiated directly with the state government.
What to do?
What else can he do, he cheekily found those old nobles, and this is the matter again.
This twist and turn reached Lin Ziran's ears again.
After knowing this, Lin Ziran thought that since it was all like this, then he would see it, anyway, there was not too much other messy thing now.
If you like it, marry if it's suitable, and find another one if it's not suitable.
What, after all, he is also the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he is in his twenties, so it's not like to be single all the time.
Immediately, Lin Ziran sent an invitation to Montessori and invited them to the dinner five days later.
This dinner was presided over by Lin Ziran and invited people from all walks of life in Luohai City, the intention was not to raise funds or anything else, but to show the outside world the attitude of the state government to support the development of industry and commerce, and lay the foundation for the subsequent recovery of people's livelihood and economy.
Although the war was still going on at this time, if nothing happened, the reunification of Nanhai Prefecture was already a certainty.
The Southern Navy had already gone north to annihilate the 150,000 troops of the Second Army Corps in Quyang Prefecture, and before that, it had marched west to annihilate the 100,000 troops of Ningyu Prefecture, and the two most threatening directions were cleaned up one by one.
Moreover, the two counterattack operations of the northward and westward advance did not simply defeat the enemy army, but almost completely encircled and annihilated the incoming enemy army, and for a long time to come, whether it was Quyang Prefecture in the north or Ningyu Prefecture in the west, it was difficult for them to pose any actual threat to the Southern Navy.
As for the eastern front, it was already defended, and if there were more troops in the future, there would be no problem in holding the defense line on the Hetai Heights.
As for Zhongluo Prefecture on the northwest front, according to the report of the front-line troops, the soldiers and horses of Zhongluo Prefecture did not have the courage to continue to move south at all after learning that the Second Army Corps of Quyang Prefecture had been wiped out, and they had already withdrawn directly from Hexi County.
The four major external threats are no longer able to threaten the South China Navy and obstruct the South China Navy's reunification of the South China Sea Prefecture.
The troops advancing west had already taken control of Qingyuan County, while Qiuhua County in the northwest and Ningmei County in the northeast were unable to resist the unification of the Southern Navy, and the reason why they did not launch a military attack on them now was purely because the two sides had begun to negotiate practically.
If nothing else, the two counties will voluntarily give up resistance and accept peaceful reunification.
The reunification of the nine counties in Nanhai Prefecture is already a sure thing.
In this case, Lin Ziran naturally needs to consider people's livelihood and economic issues.
In the military planning of the Southern Navy, after the end of the war on the Western Front, the Southern Navy will appropriately allocate some of its troops to be stationed in the Hetai Heights on the Eastern Front, the Northern Front, the Western Front, and other places.
At the same time, the main forces were hoarded in Luo'an County, Luohai County and other places.
This will be followed by a minimum of three months of rest and recuperation.
Taking advantage of this time, the Yugoslav Navy will carry out an army-wide reorganization of its troops.
After the reorganization, the size of the Yugoslav Navy will not actually increase much, and the Yugoslav Navy will maintain the size of 13 infantry divisions, 10 cavalry divisions, 10 heavy artillery regiments, and one garrison division, and the total strength is expected to reach 300,000 troops, including some idle troops and various command organs.
The total number of troops has not increased much from the present one, and the actual size of the various departments of the South Korean Navy, including the newly reorganized units of the defection troops and the temporarily newly established independent units, has reached nearly 290,000
The follow-up reorganization did not say that more divisions and brigades would be trained, but purely to reorganize the existing troops.
The reason why no more troops will be added is because of the 300,000 field army, which is already the limit of what Nanhai Prefecture's current financial situation can sustain its strength.
In fact, if it is replaced by a feudal town, with the economic strength and population size of Nanhai Prefecture, the 300,000 troops are small, and some ruthless characters can even produce 500,000 or more troops.
However, the Southern Navy was different, and the Southern Navy spent more than the troops of other feudal towns, which was mainly focused on the new breech-loading rifled weapons equipped.
Both breech-loading rifles and rear-loading guns are priced far more than the price of older smoothbore weapons, which leads to an increase in the cost of purchasing new weapons.
At the same time, it is more important to consume ammunition.
Not only is the quantity consumed larger, but the unit price of the ammunition consumed is also more expensive.
All these restrictions made it impossible for the Southern Navy to increase its strength as uncontrollably as other feudal towns.
Of course, the South China Navy has not failed to take some auxiliary measures.
The above 300,000 troops are all regular army troops.
In addition to the regular army units, the Yugoslav Navy will also expand the garrison division to five divisions, and the strength of this garrison division is as small as five or six thousand, and as many as seven or eight thousand, in order to further reduce the cost of personnel salaries, only the backbone and a small number of full-time soldiers will be retained, and if they need to be mobilized to the battlefield in the war, they will directly supplement the mobilized soldiers.
Because of cost constraints, the weapons they use are mainly stock weapons, the rifles are mainly 18 mm caliber South China Sea rifles, and the artillery is mainly smoothbore guns, these weapons and even ammunition are stock weapons and ammunition, and there is no need to spend extra money.
As for the other unit in the South China Navy, that is, the engineering unit, this is more, but these are all engineering units that are only convenient to manage in the name of the troops, in fact, they are already non-armed forces, mainly engaged in infrastructure construction, to put it bluntly, they are engineering teams......
The main force of the Yugoslav Navy is estimated to be 300,000 people, and it will not be easy to reorganize these 300,000 people, especially in terms of weapons.
You must know that at present, many of the newly reorganized units of the South China Navy can only temporarily use Fuyuan rifles and a small number of rear-loading guns for training, and in the next few months, the South China Navy will carry out a comprehensive rearmament of these units.
According to the reorganization plan of the Yugoslav Navy, after the end of the war on the Western Front, the Yugoslav Navy will not make any major moves in the next three months.
Taking advantage of the temporary end of the military operation, Lin Ziran will be able to free up to rectify the government affairs system and people's livelihood and economic affairs in Nanhai Prefecture.
The rectification of the government affairs system is an internal matter, and Lin Ziran has already begun to formulate a more reasonable institutional model that is more in line with the actual situation of Nanhai Prefecture.
As for the people's livelihood and economic affairs, this cannot be done by the state government alone, and Lin Ziran has to bring people from all walks of life such as the business community in Nanhai Prefecture to do it.
Five days later, the dinner was held for this purpose!
