Chapter 327: Dispatch Army
Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty started the campaign to attack Nanjing, as the main country to support the Ming Dynasty, Australia naturally has to make certain deployments, and it has been discussed before, and the army sent to the Ming Dynasty should be more than 10,000 people.

So in the past few years, the recruitment task has not ended, and one of their training projects is mainly for cavalry combat, in order to fight against cavalry, the Australian Weapons Research Institute, in addition to developing a coffee mill machine gun, has also made a lot of other weapons against cavalry.
For example, the steam armored car, which is mainly equipped with cannons and coffee mill machine guns, can also be said to be a mobile castle, if it is really difficult to deal with him with ordinary means, but the cost is a bit high, so far only ten cars have been produced.
The most important thing is that the performance of the steam armored vehicle is not very good, unless it is used on a large scale, if it is not used on a large scale in the plains, the enemy can directly bypass it and attack within the design range.
Although the defensive performance is still very good, it is not equipped by the army, and the most important thing is that the cost is too high, the price of a car is not high, but the cost of maintenance is high, and with this money it is possible to produce more coffee mill machine guns.
Although the coffee mill gun is a bit cumbersome to use, it is one of the indispensable weapons against cavalry, and it is the only one used to restrain cavalry.
At present, the Australian Army's subordination situation is that two squads are equipped with a coffee mill machine gun's heavy firepower, and this subordination also takes into account that the current weapons are too bulky, so it is not implemented that one squad is equipped with one.
According to this subordinate situation, the strength of the Australian army should not be underestimated, so it is not difficult to fight against the Manchu army.
The main weapon used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty was cold weapons, and the most important firearm was artillery, which can be said to be very large in the use of artillery, and they used the advanced artillery introduced by the Portuguese to the Ming Dynasty.
As for how it came, it can be imagined, some were captured and some were bought for money, in short, as long as you have money, some generals of the Ming army dare to sell weapons and ammunition to you.
In response to this situation, Australia has also made an adjustment, that is, to use their targeted weapons, and when the other side uses artillery to attack, Australia calls the mobilization of artillery brigades to fight.
In order to assist the Ming Dynasty, Australia specially formed an artillery brigade, which was the first time in history that it used artillery fire to fight.
To have an impact on the entire Ming Dynasty's war, it is not enough to have weapons alone, weapons are an auxiliary, and it is useless if you don't play well if you have good weapons, of course, the most important thing is to see how to use it.
Doesn't the Ming border army have a lot of weapons, but they have also been defeated by others, and of course, there are many people who can't be blamed on others because of poor command.
Therefore, in any case, it is still necessary to conduct targeted operations, and if they cannot be targeted, it is impossible to fight the Manchus blindly with Australia's troops.
You must know that the Manchus currently have at least a million troops, which is added to the surrender, and if there is no surrender, there may be even less.
Australia has formed a support army in the country, the main components of this force are the army and the national guard, mainly considering the defense of the homeland, if it is completely handed over to the national guard in case of attack from foreign enemies.
This scenario is still possible, after all, both the British and the French want to come to the Far East for development, and it is necessary to leave a combat force to defend the homeland.
Only when the security of the homeland is ensured, it is meaningful to save the Ming, and if there is no saving the Ming, it is meaningless.
Without the support of the mainland, the assistance of the entire Ming Dynasty will be affected, not to mention, it may also affect the security of Australia itself, under this premise, the security of the mainland is the most important.
The commander of the dispatched volunteer army is directly served by army commander Chen Jun, and the general staff of the staff department includes Wang Tiezhu and other generals of the navy and army.
After all, Ang Zhu Daming's plan has been approved by the parliament and must be taken seriously, and the most important point is that this war cannot be lost, failure is equivalent to the loss of the southern market, which will have an impact on the entire Australian economy, not to mention, and may cause a series of problems.
A large number of immigrants are mainly built and developed to sustain themselves, and if there is a recession in these industries, the migration will slow down, and one of the most likely things is that Australia may experience its first wave of unemployment.
There will be an increase in the number of people who do not have jobs, which is equivalent to causing a lot of trouble to social security, and in this case it is natural that we must take it seriously, otherwise the list of defeats will have to be bought by Australia itself, and the initial investment may be lost.
The early investment in Daming can not be recovered, which will make some people lose their money, and may also cause internal divisions, there are a small number of people who do not support the aid to Daming, after all, it is two countries, such gratuitous aid, for Australia is actually a loss-making business.
But if there is no aid, Australia will actually lose more, and the Manchu policy will be unfavorable to Australia, and only by supporting Shen Youlong to unify the south can we obtain the greatest benefits.
Having Chen Jun as the commander-in-chief was naturally considered, after all, he still had a certain amount of experience, and he had also fought in actual combat at the beginning, and with Wang Tiezhu and others as staff officers, it can be said that there is basically no problem.
According to the current situation, more than 10,000 people should be sent to aid the Ming Dynasty, that is, a division, but the total number of troops that Australia can send should only be 5,000 people, at most a brigade.
This is completely inconsistent with what was done at the beginning, so the current situation is to solve the problem of stationing troops, and the troops that can be mobilized have basically been mobilized, and those troops that have not been trained at all can naturally not be dispatched, plus the troops left behind cannot be dispatched, and it can be said that there are basically no troops that can be dispatched in other places.
Therefore, the question before everyone is how to solve this problem, and only by solving the biggest difficulty, the issue of military strength, can we be invincible.
According to the idea of the General Staff, some militia members should be recruited, after all, they have received a certain amount of training, and they should be no worse than those recruits on the battlefield, but they have not yet passed. (To be continued.) )
