Chapter 251: Expansion
November 8 was the day when the new recruits of the Black Armor Army were formed, and it was also the day of the expansion of the Black Armor Army.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the officers who were already waiting at the gate of the barracks saw a group of cavalry coming from afar, and the clear sound of horses' hooves knocked on the hearts of the officers who were excited in their hearts.
When the cavalry team arrived in front of them, it was His Majesty who was there, and all the officers hurriedly bowed and welcomed: "Greetings to Your Majesty!" ”
"Flat" Yang Wenli said this sentence on a horse, turned over and dismounted, and his own guards came to help him lead the horse.
"Hahahaha! Everyone is dressed in a dress, it seems that we have been looking forward to this day for a long time, let's not talk about false etiquette, everyone enters the barracks, I will meet everyone's wishes today. ”
After Yang Wenli finished speaking, he took the lead and walked to the barracks, only to see flags waving on the large square in the barracks, and the troops lined up in a square grid, with a grand scale.
There was a high platform in front of the team, Yang Wenli walked straight towards the high platform, he walked to the middle of the high platform, and ordered loudly: "Take a break!" ”
"Smack!" Tens of thousands of people took a break together, the voice was loud, and the breath of an iron-blooded soldier permeated.
Yang Wenli was very satisfied, he puffed up his breath and began to speak: "After more than a year of training, you finally have the appearance of a soldier, and I am very satisfied.
Today is the day when you officially become a glorious soldier, and it is also a good day for the great expansion of the Black Armor Army.
Our Black Armor Army will be a new force, a force that is different from the armies of other countries, because we will have new combat equipment, and it will also be a new way of fighting, so I have decided to carry out an all-round reform of the troop formation.
The Ming Dynasty's guard system was no longer implemented, and was replaced by an extremely simple designation, from top to bottom: army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon.
The military ranks remain unchanged, they are still second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, general, general, general, marshal.
From this, we can see that the second lieutenant corresponds to the platoon rank, the lieutenant corresponds to the company rank, and below the platoon level, it is still the rank of sergeant, sergeant, and non-commissioned officer.
Originally, with the size of our troops, the small flag should correspond to the battalion level, and the general flag should correspond to the regimental level, because many of our soldiers are still slave soldiers, and their combat exploits are not enough, and they are not yet a formal soldier, nor do they have basic ration fields, and the actual soldiers of a small flag are only about 40 people, which is not enough for a platoon-level standard, and the official soldiers of a general flag are only more than 100 people, which is just the standard of a company-level.
Therefore, I decided to reorganize all three general flags into three battalions this time, and all three general flag officers competed for the rank of captain officer.
The first battalion and three companies have more than 4,000 regular soldiers, but there are about 1,000 special logistics baggage troops at the battalion level, with a total of more than 5,000 soldiers.
If there is a large-scale battle in the future, the domestic people can be conscripted to take charge of the logistics and baggage work, and the logistics baggage troops will lead and provide security.
The chief officer of the logistics baggage unit is a company officer, a transitional military post who is higher than a platoon officer but lower than a company officer in the regular army, and when there is a vacancy in the regular army, he automatically fills the vacancy.
For the sake of domestic security and stability, I decided to reorganize the Yang Renhong Guards into a guard battalion, which is also a scale of more than 5,000 people, plus three national guard units, totaling about 10,000 people, which is enough to protect our domestic security.
This is a major level change, and all the officers at all levels below are automatically promoted to one level, and this is the case with the reorganization of the troops.
Next year, your task will still be to train the troops, especially the cavalry combat capability, because I plan to completely replace the troops with new weapons next year, and before that, our army should not have a major campaign operation. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Wenli stopped, and then he shouted: "Okay! Now we will begin the official award of titles and flags. ”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the military band played the majestic national anthem, and all the soldiers sang loudly:
Free, equal, rich, and powerful Far Eastern Kingdoms, you are a monument to the human world.
The industrious, courageous, kind and intelligent people of the Far East, under the correct guidance of His Majesty the King, forged ahead courageously to usher in a new era in the human world.
Go ahead! People all over the world are in dire straits, and they need you to save them.
Go ahead! The prosperity of the human world needs your guidance.
The five states and the four oceans, as well as the boundless starry sky, there is your majestic posture everywhere.
Yes! The great kingdom of the Far East, the motherland I love, you are my pride.
Yes! Merciful Your Majesty, you are the mentor of human democracy and freedom.
Yes! Wise Your Majesty, you are a pioneer of human technological civilization.
People of all nationalities are bathed in your glory, happy and proud.
Yes! My great motherland. ”
Although the national anthem was passionate and majestic, Yang Wenli always felt that it was not so coordinated, and the army should have its own military song, but he suppressed this idea in his heart and began to confer titles and flags on several subordinates who had been promoted to battalion officers, and at the same time encouraged them separately.
"Rentian, congratulations, you must remember your duty as a soldier, be diligent and thrifty, brave and fearless, strive to fulfill the important tasks entrusted to you by the motherland and the people, make positive progress, and devote yourself to creating a brilliant cause for soldiers."
"Keeping in mind Your Majesty's instructions, I will definitely live up to the great trust entrusted to me by the motherland and the people." Yang Rentian gave him a resounding chest-beating salute and swore loudly.
"Renyue, congratulations on your ......"
Next, Renyue, Renxuan, and Renhong, he did the same, and also congratulated and encouraged, and the three of them also swore loudly to him.
The other officers competed for promotion, and the four of them did it for them, with Yang Wenli supervising on the side, and the entire reform and promotion competition was carried out for most of the day.
After the meeting, Yang Wenli returned to the palace under the congratulations of all the officers and soldiers.
There is a reason why Yang Wenli decided not to expand the troops outward this year and next, not only because he wants to equip the troops with modern and new weapons, but also because he wants to guard against a Japanese attack.
Japan is an aggressive country, and the Far Eastern Kingdom has established a state beside it, so naturally they will not ignore it, and they will attack sooner or later, and the reason why it has not come so far is that it has not yet mobilized troops internally.
As soon as they come, it will definitely be a large army to press the border, at least a huge army with a scale of more than 200,000 troops, and it is definitely unrealistic for the shogun to send troops, and they will definitely recruit the major names to send troops, which will take time.
For this reason, he has ordered the naval division to patrol the Qingjin Strait so as to give early warning. Of course, he did not order the small sailors to deal directly with the Japanese army, but only a warning, he would let the Japanese land, and then use his artillery and cavalry superiority to crush the Japanese, and strive to destroy the main force of the Japanese in a battle, and win a long time of peace for the Far Eastern Kingdom.
