Chapter 209: Adjustment of Defense (Subscription Requested)

With the successful renovation of the Perfect, plus the launch of three newly built 1,000-ton warships, and the transformation of several sailing ships that came back from Daming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The entire navy is immersed in a sound of joy, to say that the joy is certain, the navy's ships for the first time exceeded ten, which is the first time in the history of the Australian Navy, and at the same time there are ten warships that can sail on the water, which means that they have a certain strike capability at sea, which can be affirmed, and another point is that the navy's personnel expansion is also continuing.

With the launch of more and more warships, there are more and more naval soldiers naturally needed, and with the formation of the Marine Corps, it can be said that Australia has entered a major military expansion, and the impact of naval expansion has naturally brought a certain amount of jealousy to the army.

However, the expansion of the army is also continuing, and the 2nd Company of the mainland is about to be transferred to Luzon to take over the change of defense, and the 3rd Company of the Road, which is mainly stationed in the Hong Kong Overseas Territory, is currently in charge of defense and clearance operations in Luzon.

Nominally, Luzon was not their territory, but because there were no warships on the mainland to transport them to their designated destination, they were temporarily left to complete the tasks of the second company.

The second company is a unit with rich combat experience, and it can be said that it has fought many large and small battles on the battlefield, from the mainland to Southeast Asia, and in Hong Kong, it has fought against the regular Ming Guard, and has also fought against the local natives who have no combat effectiveness, and has also fought with pirates who have killed them.

Internally speaking, in addition to the first company guarding the capital Chang'an Town, the second company is the trump card in the army, and the combat effectiveness of this unit is definitely not lower than that of the first company.

The Fourth Wing, which is currently being formed, will likely take the place of the First Company, and they will be sent to the vest to take over the mission.

This also takes into account the fact that the first company has no actual combat experience, and it is impossible for a unit without actual combat experience to be called an ace army, so when the fourth company is formed, their task of changing guards will be almost the same.

At present, the entire Australian Army has six companies after expansion, which are stationed in different places, and the largest number of troops is naturally the capital, where in addition to having the most garrisons, the main thing is to recruit recruits basically here, and it is possible to consider changing the location in the future.

It is not a good thing for the capital to gather too many troops, which will have a certain impact on the people, of course, this matter passes through the people's own considerations, in fact, for the immigrants, they also have a little such consideration in their hearts, after all, too many soldiers gathered together will cause panic in their hearts.

In order to prevent this from happening, the Executive Committee has decided to build a special site for recruiting and training 30 kilometers east of Chang'an Town, and named it Huangpu Town.

At present, the preliminary exploration of Huangpu Town has been basically completed, and the later construction team will follow up, and it is only a matter of time before it is built.

In order to adapt to the development of the modern army in the future, the construction of engineers is also a very important issue, the army must have its own engineering unit, building bridges and roads are very important things in the future, so at this time there is definitely a need for an engineer unit.

To this end, in addition to the combat establishment, the army has also specially expanded an engineer company, the main task of this company is to learn various skills, they are divided into bridge squads, demining and minelayering, and construction teams.

The main thing is that in these three directions, the danger of the engineer is much less than that of the combat unit, but it is definitely a physical work, no matter which section requires a certain amount of physical strength to complete, otherwise it will not be done at all.

In order to quickly form an engineering unit, the army specially mobilized some experienced workers from the construction team to teach them skills.

The large-scale military mobilization made some people feel that something was wrong for the first time, but they didn't think in the direction of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, in their opinion, the Australians were still too few, and the army was small, but they heard that the battle was very strong, and they absolutely believed in this, otherwise how could so many natives be caught by them.

Speaking of the natives, some immigrants are a little sympathetic to them, but these savages seem to be worried about their situation at all, and even feel that something is wrong, for them this is very good, and compared to them, they are much happier, this person is their own people, and it also makes them feel a sense of intimacy.

The personnel of the second company have begun to assemble from various villages and towns in Australia like Chang'an, their purpose is Luzon, I heard that the indigenous tribes around Luzon City have been wiped out a lot by the third company, this time they seem to have no combat mission.

This may be a good thing for ordinary people, but it is definitely not a good thing for a military force, and it will only be laughed at in the long run, and it may also leave a bad impression on others, making people feel that they are afraid of death.

In order to avoid leaving this impression, the second company's assembly speed is also accelerating, they hope to arrive in Luzon as soon as possible to take over their defense tasks, and at the same time they are responsible for the aborigines' clearance operations, and even in order to let their troops arrive in Luzon to have a task, the captain of the second company, Tang Hao, specifically asked the third company not to go out on a mission in the near future and recuperate.

Of course, this request must have been issued through the headquarters, otherwise others would not be able to say that he Tang Hao was afraid that others would rob him of his credit.

The assembly of the army also brought a task to the navy, their task is to send these army soldiers to the designated place safely, this is the first cooperation between the navy and the army in the strict sense, so both sides attach great importance to it, Wang Tiehammer and Ma Dongming have had many exchanges.

Of course, the main task this time is transportation, but Army Commander Ma Dongming decided to let the second company conduct a landing operation exercise, after all, landing operations will definitely be needed in the future, and Australia's geographical location determines that it needs to rely on landing operations like external expansion.

Landing operations require a certain amount of experience, and the army has not yet accumulated this aspect, and this time it is just the right time to take advantage of the navy's transportation to conduct a landing combat exercise, Wang Tiezhui expressed support for Ma Dongming's proposal, and asked the navy to cooperate with the army's exercise operations.
