Chapter XXXVIII
Time flies quickly, two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in these two years, Sun Hao ordered the construction of countless factories, guns, artillery factories, tanks, hardware, papermaking, printing, clothing, and so on on on the right side of Fuming City, a flat land two kilometers away.
Sun Hao didn't think how much wealth they could create, but only asked them to learn and master production technology as soon as possible.
On the left side of the city, there are countless residential areas, commercial streets, farmers' markets, schools, and so on. These houses are five-storey buildings, and there are no high-rise buildings like later generations. Today, Restoration City is already a megacity.
All of these buildings have basements built to facilitate future garages or warehouses. With the development of the times, there will be more and more cars. Sun Hao didn't want to see the scene of the future, and it was more difficult to find a parking space than to climb to the sky.
In the past two years, Sun Hao has traded more than 8 million people from Wang Bo, of which only 1 million are men, 6 million are women, and 1 million are children.
Sun Hao asked these people to form a family, and a man took at least two or three wives, and distributed the children purchased from the Wuji Continent to each household, and they raised them.
Several large wharves have been built next to the Fuming River, and more than 10 docks have also been built, ranging from 10,000 to 60,000 tons. There are also more than 100,000 shipbuilders, but their technology is not very mature, and they are learning to build warships under the leadership of technicians, and most of them are still in training.
The small docks in the cave had been demolished by Sun Hao's order and all moved to the banks of the Fuming River. After all, it was very inconvenient to build ships in the cave, but the huge cave was also used by Sun Hao to build some laboratories in the cave.
Sun Hao knew that a country's shipbuilding capacity could directly affect the outcome of a war, so he put a lot of effort into the shipbuilding industry.
In two years, Sun Hao not only formed three group armies, but also two naval fleets, two divisions of air forces, one army of cavalry units, and police and public security forces.
Sun Hao also ordered every citizen of Fuming City to undergo two days of military training every week, and each was issued a gun. The man was issued a Huaxia Type 1908 automatic rifle (an improved version of the 98K automatic rifle with a magazine of 10 rounds. The woman was given two shell guns, and the city of Restoration was now basically a state of all soldiers.
The establishment of an army group army is a three-four system, with one group army having jurisdiction over three armies, three divisions under military jurisdiction, and one division under four regiments, each regiment having four battalions, and one battalion having jurisdiction over four companies.
Sun Hao abolished the establishment of the brigade, which was similar to the military structure of later generations, but it was slightly different.
A squad of 13 people, a squad is equipped with: a Huaxia 1908 automatic sniper rifle, a 60mm mortar, two Huaxia 1908 general-purpose machine guns (MG-42 general-purpose machine gun improved), nine Huaxia 1908 automatic rifles, 30 grenades, and the squad leader is also issued a pistol. These individual weapons constitute the most powerful individual firepower of the contemporary world army, even exceeding the firepower of a company in other countries.
There are 21,486 people in a division, 64,458 in an army, and about 200,000 people in a group army. The three group armies, totaling more than 600,000 troops, have completely reached the level of mechanized motorized troops.
Each group army is equipped with a large number of military trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery of various calibers, and at the same time, it is also equipped with two flying air regiments, with one regiment equipped with eight bombers, 18 fighters, and four reconnaissance planes.
It can be said that Sun Hao's army units are the most powerful army units in this era, but these troops have not yet experienced the baptism of war. Sun Hao believes that even if his army lacks combat experience, the firepower configuration can make up for it, that is, when encountering the German army, which is currently the most powerful in the world, its combat effectiveness is definitely not inferior to them.
The Navy now has two fleets, so to speak, three, since one is a submarine force.
The First Fleet was armed with five Elizabeth-class battleships, 10 Prestige-class battlecruisers, 15 Cleveland-class light cruisers, 20 Mogador-class destroyers, 30 torpedo boats, 4 minesweepers, 3 minelayers, 25 gunboats, and 8 supply ships.
The Second Fleet is similar, the equipment has not changed much, the only change is that the Second Fleet is all women, and the First Fleet is all men.
The submarine force is now equipped with a total of 120 submarines, including 60 of the improved XXI class and 60 submarines of the submarine Phantom class. The submarine force was divided into three groups by Sun Hao, one was called the Sea Wolf, one was called the Ghost, and the other was called the Sea Thorn.
The Seawolf submarine formation is all men, and it is equipped with a total of 20 submarine Phantom-class submarines and 20 improved XXI submarines. The ghost formation is similar to the sea thorn, but the ghost submarine formation and the sea thorn submarine formation are all composed of women.
The submarine ghost-class submarine has a total length of 126 meters, a water displacement of about 3,686 tons, an underwater displacement of 6,580 tons, a designed maximum speed of 23 knots above the water, 20 knots underwater, and a range of 35,000 nautical miles/16 knots.
Armament consisted of two 5.5-inch (140mm) 50-barrel long deck guns at the stern, one at the front and one at the forech, and two 25mm anti-aircraft guns on the conning tower. The bow of the boat had six torpedo tubes, carrying 48 533mm torpedoes. The safe dive depth is 120 meters, and the ultimate diving depth is 290 meters. The crew is 128 people, including various arms on the submarine.
The submarine Phantom-class submarines are not only equipped with anti-sea radar, but also anti-aircraft radar, which is far superior to various submarines during World War II. After being equipped with two kinds of radars, you can find the enemy at a distance, fight if you can, and dive and escape in advance if you can't beat it.
There are about 120,000 people in the navy and logistics units, and with such equipment, it can be said that the scale of these two fleets is already an invincible-class fleet. However, these naval ladies have not experienced actual combat, and it is difficult to achieve the strength to dominate the global seas. As the old saying goes, a century-old navy shows that the navy is not so easy to achieve.
However, Sun Hao's fleet also has its own advantages, first, the fleet is equipped with a sea radar, which means that it can strike first. Second, the huge number of warships, advanced manufacturing technology. Third, the accurate fire control and aiming system, which greatly assists the gunners in their ability to accurately strike the enemy.
Fourth: Absolute loyalty, if there is no order from Sun Hao, even if they fight to the last soldier, they will not surrender. Fifth: physical fitness, men and women in the Wuji Continent have practiced martial arts since childhood, and their physical fitness is much stronger than other countries.
The soldiers of the navy are more complex than the cavalry and infantry, and consist of personnel of multiple arms. Although after two years of training, there is still a certain gap compared with the old colonial empires of the West.
Fortunately, Sun Hao's weapons were more advanced than theirs, and even if the two armies met, they still had a certain advantage. With these advantages, this became Sun Hao's confidence, which was enough to challenge the courage of the old colonial empire navy.
