Chapter 739: Can't Feed! (Second Update!) )
Li Hao's expansion plan is very large and huge, but Wang Hong was not frightened!
After partnering with Li Hao, he didn't know how many times he had encountered this kind of picture in front of him!
If you were scared every time, you would have been scared out of a heart attack!
But after Li Hao finished saying his thoughts, he didn't speak, neither affirming nor denying!
Lying on the table, holding a pen in his hand, he kept writing something in his notebook, his brows were sometimes tight, sometimes relaxed!
I waited two minutes before picking up the list that had been calculated on the table and answering with a serious face!
"Regiment commander, I just calculated, according to your expansion plan, our garrison regiment will have five main battalions, one mobile battalion, one guard battalion, one artillery battalion, and one cavalry battalion!"
"The total strength of the main force alone is more than 6,000 people, is this still a regiment?"
"In addition to the main force, there are four county brigades under our control, and the number of district squadrons is different, adding up to more than 3,000 people!"
"This is equivalent to the completion of the expansion of the troops, and the troops under the command of our garrison regiment directly exceed 10,000 people, which is almost a main division!"
"Not to mention whether the higher authorities will agree to our expansion of so many troops at one time, what worries me the most is whether our base area can support so many troops!"
"More than 10,000 people, and all of them are fully out of work!"
"In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the troops must be well fed, and they must also eat a certain amount of oil and water. Not to mention salt, which must be in good supply! ”
"If you take the grain, oil, salt, vegetables, pork that everyone eats every day...... All converted into grain, three catties of food a day for one person is not enough! ”
"More than 10,000 people need more than 10 million catties of food a year!"
"I'll forget it, Lingqiu, Laiyuan, Guangling, Hunyuan, and the annual grain taxes of the four counties all add up to just enough to meet the needs of so many troops!"
"And our troops need to pay allowances in addition to food, and the troops also need bullets and shells for combat, and they need to buy medicine if they are injured, and they need to pay pensions for sacrifices...... all these need money!"
"Just relying on the share of a few factories in the base area, even if you reach the predetermined production capacity of the regiment leader, you can only solve one-third of the funds at most, and there is no way to do the rest!"
"Commander, your expansion plan is very large, and it is perfect!"
"Once perfected, the garrison regiment will definitely make a qualitative leap, and the entire base area will become impregnable because of the existence of these troops!"
"However, with the existing strength of the base area, it is simply impossible to support so many troops!"
"There is not much difference in the strength of the four counties, and each county has reached the limit of feeding 2,000 full-time workers!"
"These two thousand people include not only the main forces, local troops, but also our local cadres!"
"Minus them, the main forces, local troops, that each county can bear, the total strength cannot exceed one thousand eight hundred!"
"According to the regiment leader's expansion plan, except for Hunyuan, which has not exceeded the standard, Guangling, Laiyuan, and Lingqiu have all exceeded the standard!"
"So I suggest: Considering the bearing capacity of the people in the base area, our stall should not be so big at one time!"
"The total strength of the main force and local troops should be reduced to less than 8,000 as much as possible!"
"At the same time, vigorously develop guerrillas and hide troops from the people!!"
"They are semi-full-time troops, and the burden on the base area is small! It costs at least four partisans to feed a full-time fighter, and even more is possible! ”
This question is indeed too simple for Li Hao!
When the garrison regiment was still an independent regiment, the base area was only Lingqiu County!
At that time, the main force plus local troops were at least 3,000 people!
At its peak, there were 4,000 people!
Now the base area has suddenly quadrupled and the population has increased more than fivefold!
Li Hao naturally thought that the base area was four times larger, and the troops that could be fed must be four times larger!
He overlooked a problem!
The reason why one county in Lingqiu can feed so many troops is because there are several factories in the base area!
The base area was expanded fourfold, and the profits of those factories did not follow suit!
If you lose the strength of one or the other, there will not be four times as many troops that can be fed in the base area!
Thinking of these, the first thought that popped up in Li Hao's mind was to expand the scale of several factories!
But as soon as the idea came out, he vetoed it!
Several factories have been expanding their scale, because of the influence of raw materials, sites and other reasons, now they are still a big part away from the scale they have already set, continue to expand the scale, and expand the profits to four times the current one, the year of the monkey may not be able to wait!
So it's too difficult to solve this problem raised by the political commissar by expanding the scale of the factory!
The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this sentence is what I just said!
No matter how perfect the expansion plan is and how big the garrison regiment is, as long as the logistics supplement gives problems, the troops will have problems!
For a while, Li Hao also wavered in his expansion plan!
But the thought disappeared after a flash in the head, and then answered in the affirmative!
"No, the expansion plan remains the same!"
"The stall is a little bigger, and there will be many difficulties that need to be faced in the future, but the situation forces us to expand the troops in place at one time!"
"Political commissar, think about it, our garrison regiment has become a big problem for the devils from the moment they defended Lingqiu, will they watch us occupy such a large territory, and then slowly digest it, and finally develop into an even more powerful force?"
"No!"
"They will definitely do everything they can to prevent us from digesting this hard-won victory, prevent us from developing and growing further, and give them troops to send troops to besiege us to buy time!"
"When the time comes, if we don't have strong enough military strength, how can we protect ourselves!"
"Give up these achievements that haven't been covered yet, and retreat back to the Lingqiu Drill Ravine!"
"Not only can't I accept such a result, but I believe that you can't accept it either!"
"It's not the style of our garrison regiment that you've eaten until you have fat in your stomach and then spit it out!"
"That's why the expansion plan I just proposed can't be moved!"
"The main force, the local troops, there should be as many people as there should be, no one can be less, no one can be more!"
"In addition, political commissar, you just put forward the idea of hiding troops from the people, which is very good!"
"I have decided that in addition to the main force and local troops, a large number of semi-full-time guerrillas should be formed in the villages in the base areas!"
"With the existing population in the base areas, without affecting production, there is no problem at all in forming another 5,000 semi-full-time guerrilla units, leaving aside 10,000 main forces and local troops!"
"In the future, they will be the best supplementary soldiers to the main force and local troops!"
