Chapter 123: The Construction of the Army
As soon as Li Lan's voice fell, the guard's report came from the door of the conference room: "Report, Reporter Lin asks to see you." ”
"Let him in."
Lin Meiqi walked in with a smile on her face, and the tulle wrapped every day was also taken off by her, and the sun hat on her head was also taken off by her.
She has beautiful black hair hanging down her shoulders, and her face is pure and beautiful, like an angelic face. I believe that anyone who sees her will be amazed and conquered by her delicate and almost phantom face. At this moment, she was holding an ice cream as white as her skin and eating it sweetly, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth that made her heart melt, and her eyes that blinked from time to time were as bright as crystal.
"I'm in love with ice cream now, damn the temperature, can't you just two pieces? It's 30 degrees hot every day, and I really want to stay here every day and not go out. Lin Meiqi, who had just walked in, didn't seem to notice the atmosphere in the conference room, and took care of the ice cream in her hand.
"We're in a meeting, and if you're just coming in and making that statement, please get out right away." Li Lan, who is with Natasha every day and is often teased by her, has developed a good concentration to be immune to beauty, and is naturally unmoved by Lin Meiqi's beauty that has brought disaster to the country and the people.
"Ugh!" This time, Lin Meiqi finally reacted, and saw the serious expressions of everyone in the conference room, and was about to blurt out Li Lan's habitual rebuttal, but she herself stopped it in time.
"Are you talking about confidentiality? Then I'll leave first, and I'll come back later. The oppressive atmosphere made Lin Meiqi want to turn around and leave.
"Wait, what's the matter with you?" Li Lan stopped her.
"Oh, I meant to tell you. The documentary has already been filmed, and there is a total of half an hour. It's been a little over a month of hard work, and post-production alone took me days. Maggie Lin took out a USB flash drive from her pocket. He spoke.
"Come in! Sit down. I'm about to send someone to find you. Li Lan motioned to the guard to take the USB flash drive in her hand, and then said to Lin Meiqi.
"Oh." The serious atmosphere also made Lin Meiqi serious, ate the ice cream three times and divided five by two, and then sat down.
"Play it!" Following Li Lan's order, the guards quickly inserted the USB flash drive into the monitor, and after selecting the documents, the documentary, which took more than a month to shoot, began to be played.
"The northeastern corner of Africa, known as rhinoceros horn. ……”
The thirty-minute documentary was played quickly. In the conference room, not only Li Lan watched with relish, but even Mohammadi and Farah were also very devoted.
"Is this my country?" After the video, Farah couldn't help but say something.
"Yes, all the scenes and pictures in it are from the territory, and it is a promotional film that reflects the good life of the territory." Lin Meiqi introduced: "The first fifteen minutes are to introduce what it used to be like here. There are also scenes of gatherings of refugees, which are all previous sources. The next fifteen minutes are all pictures of the present life. ”
"I really didn't expect everything that seemed normal. It can become so beautiful in the picture. Reporter Lin, what a means! Muhammadi couldn't help but compliment.
"Xiexie compliments, it's my profession in the first place. And it was also the order of Lord Li. I don't dare to slack off. Lin Meiqi said.
"It's really commendable." Li Lan is also very satisfied with this promotional video, "Now this video has a place to use." Presumably. Make this video into a movie and put it in Bossaso. It is very conducive to propaganda work. ”
"I get it, starting tomorrow, these images will be shown in various residential areas of Bossaso." Farah nodded.
"Miss Lin, wait a few more copies for Farah." Li Lan said.
"No problem, I have a lot of playback equipment there, so I can always open my mouth if I need to." Lin Meiqi said.
Subsequently, several people discussed how to use propaganda methods. Soon, the meeting came to the key issue -- army building.
"At present, there are nearly 20,000 regular troops in the territory, and the first armored brigade has been formed, equipped with 120 main battle tanks, and an armored infantry brigade has also been formed. Work is now underway on the formation of a second armored brigade and an armored infantry brigade. Separate artillery units are also beginning to be formed, and it is expected that it will take another five months to become an army. The Heavy Infantry Division is also in the process of being formed, with a full-fledged infantry regiment already in place, and two more infantry regiments expected to be completed within six months.
In the territory, there are enough soldiers, but there is a lack of sufficient weapons and equipment. will lead to the formation of troops that cannot keep up. However, we are confident that we will complete these tasks within six months. ”
Speaking of the military aspect, Ahmed was the first to give a general explanation of the military development of the territory.
This is the first time that Mohammadi and Farah have learned about the construction of the troops, and under the development and construction of the territory, they have clearly known the number of troops in the territory. Of course, this is also the first time that Li Lan has disclosed to them the military strength of his current territory.
This is the result of nine months of construction after Li Lan was promoted to intermediate authority. In the entire base, how much money is received every day, how much will be spent, even if the number of funds received is doubled, it cannot withstand such a huge expense.
At present, Li Lan does not have more funds to equip soldiers with individual equipment with gloves. Just the soldiers of the first regiment and one battalion of the heavy infantry division formed were all equipped with individual suits, and the individual suits of this battalion alone cost Li Lan a whole 500,000 yuan in base funds. Coupled with the neatly equipped individual reinforcement firepower, this infantry battalion alone, with additional personnel and training, cost Li Lan at least millions of base funds. It seems that millions of base funds are only four days' output, but if it is a fully built army force, these millions are very precious.
In the game, a soldier can point it out, and he can do nothing, no matter how long it is, no matter how fierce the battle is, he doesn't have to worry about weapons and ammunition, food, clothing, shelter and transportation. But here is the reality, not the game.
Both ammo consumption and guns cost a lot of money to build. In the environment of modern warfare, it has become a theorem whether soldiers are expensive or not, and Li Lan has no choice but to do so. Troops that are not well equipped and encounter the armies of Shijie mainstream countries will be cannon fodder.
In modern warfare, it is very difficult to accomplish even tactical tasks, let alone the implementation of strategic tasks. And an elite army has always been built with huge funds to become an army. This is true both at home and abroad.
Intermediate authority, able to build an army, Li Lan didn't want to wait until the more advanced authority, and the base's capital income was even more huge, and then slowly build this army. Because there is still the Navy and Air Force behind, compared to the consumption of the Navy and Air Force, the army can only be regarded as a drizzle except for the missile troops.
Therefore, in order to make it unnecessary to build in the opposite direction in the future, Li Lan had to build a powerful army unit from the very beginning. The armored forces consist of two brigades, the infantry consists of two mechanized infantry brigades and hoplite divisions.
The armored brigade is mainly based on tanks and supplemented by infantry battalions. The mechanized infantry brigade is mainly based on the machine infantry battalion, supplemented by tank troops. All four brigades will be equipped with a large number of armored vehicles.
And the hoplite division, which is with a small number of tanks, with a certain number of armored vehicles. Specially cooperate with armored brigades and infantry battalions to carry out field operations or urban warfare. The hoplite division, which will be equipped with a large number of support artillery, is now dominated by rocket artillery units in the territory. Self-propelled artillery will be independent of heavy artillery brigades, as well as armored brigades with battalion-sized self-propelled artillery units to assist tank units in combat.
Calculated in this way, these five fully equipped troops not only need more than 30,000 soldiers, but are fully equipped with weapons, and require nearly 400 tanks and dozens or even hundreds of self-propelled guns, plus armored vehicles and trucks for logistics units.
Only then will an army of 30,000 people be armed, and hundreds of millions of base funds will be needed. If the value of these weapons and the training of soldiers are measured in terms of the price of US dollars, it will cost at least tens of billions of dollars.
And this is still the consumption required without the addition of the engineering units and missile units. These four units are not fully staffed, especially the armored brigade, and only a small maintenance company and company-level units have been built, which cannot meet the needs of the armored brigade at all.
But Li Lan has no choice, and now the entire base is unable to produce parts, and many times the problematic tanks are temporarily mothballed. The existence of the maintenance company is still used for emergency use to deal with tank failures on the battlefield.
Many times, Li Lan thought that if the armored troops in reality could run infinitely on the map as in the game, there would be no problem.
The Army has been an indispensable force at all times, has been, is and will continue to be. At this stage, if Li Lan wants to expand his territory and develop his base, he needs to rely on the army.
Now Li Lan has a deep understanding that the base is not open to the sea and air forces. Because he can't afford to raise it, the daily capital income of more than 200,000 yuan is enough to build an army unit, let alone a naval and air force, both of which are big money-burning households, and they really can't afford to raise it.
However, as long as Li Lan can establish this army completely, then he will not be afraid of direct intervention by Ethiopia. In his opinion, if he can't beat other countries, and he can't beat Ethiopia, then he doesn't have to mix here.
Therefore, although the daily spending is like flowing water, Li Lan still has no intention of stopping. With this army, he will have the opportunity to develop further, and the road ahead will not be too rough and rough.
PS: Who can guess what units will be open to advanced permissions. In other words, there will be no units opened. Superweapons are not a problem.
