Chapter 437: Troop Reorganization

On the morning of the second day, Zhang Wei woke up very early, and after a night's rest, his spirits were much better. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone sat in the conference room for breakfast to see if Zhang Wei had any instructions, and if there was nothing important, they would return to the station after lunch.

Du Shihui was busy making his construction plan and did not participate in everyone's actions.

Zhang Wei still spoke first: "I have two ideas, I will discuss with you, the first is to transfer the mercenaries from the various armies, in the future, the Qin State will not retain mercenaries and garrisons, and the garrisons will also be transferred back to the original province after completing the task; The second is to transfer the cavalry divisions from the various armies and form two cavalry corps with the three cavalry divisions directly under the jurisdiction of the theater, so that the scattered use of cavalry will not bring into play its combat effectiveness; in addition, after each air base is equipped with two more aircraft, there will be no need for cavalry to patrol with aircraft; For this reason, how do you feel about adding 2 defense divisions to each army? ”

Zhang Wei's words made several army commanders immediately cheer up and quickly think about the consequences of the adjustment; This is a mixed blessing for them, the good news is that each army has increased by more than 12,000 people, and it is better to say that without mercenaries, the combat effectiveness of a national defense division far exceeds that of a mercenary brigade; However, if the cavalry division is transferred, then it will be very inconvenient for them, and the jurisdiction of each army is so large, the role of the cavalry division is not comparable to that of a national defense division.

Zhang Liang followed Zhang Wei for the longest time, and spoke more casually, seeing that several army commanders were looking at him, meaning to let him speak, his current position determined that he had the responsibility to fight for a little benefit for the Qin State, so he said: "Your Majesty, aircraft patrols are only long-distance and large-scale patrols, short-distance patrols and short-distance transmission of news are inseparable from cavalry, especially the vast and sparsely populated Qin State, the role of cavalry is even more important, if Your Majesty has to transfer cavalry divisions, my opinion is to leave at least 2,000 cavalry for each army, In this case, each military headquarters will have a cavalry battalion of 500 men directly under its jurisdiction, and each division will have 300 cavalry, and each division headquarters and each regiment will have a cavalry platoon of 60 people, which will be mainly responsible for short-distance transmission of information, surrounding vigilance, reconnaissance, and other work. ”

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while, this is fine, then just form 2 cavalry corps, 3 divisions of each cavalry corps, the remaining 1 cavalry division is split, each infantry corps is divided into 2000 cavalry, the division commander, deputy division commander, chief of staff and others of the cavalry division transfer the cavalry army headquarters, "Okay, just leave 2000 cavalry for each army, but the adjusted army is a bit big, 4 national defense divisions have 64,000 people, 20,000 Janissary divisions, plus military headquarters, howitzer battalions, cavalry regiments and other troops, each army is nearly 90,000 people, 5 armies are 450,000 people, don't scare the Europeans into peeing their pants. ”

Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty, the total number feels a lot, if it is distributed in such a large area of territory, it will not feel much at all. ”

Zhang Wei thought about it, in his previous life, there were more than 10 countries in this territory, and the average army of each country was less than 40,000 people, which was really not much, so he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you say not much, it's not much, as long as you can protect this territory for me, these people are not many, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for being unkind to you when the time comes." ”

Zhang Wei said this, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Liang asked again: "Your Majesty, do you only adjust the army of the Qin State?" Is Somalia's army still adjusting? ”

"This time, only the army of the Qin State will be adjusted, and the troops in other places will not be adjusted for the time being, and the cavalry division on the Somali side still has a great role and cannot be easily transferred, I mainly feel that the Qin State will be relatively stable for a period of time in the future, and it will only defend in a short period of time, and will not attack, so I transferred the cavalry out to form an army alone."

What Zhang Wei did not tell everyone was that the formation of a cavalry corps alone was for a better offensive, and that there must be a strong cavalry unit in the event of a war with the Russian Empire in the future, and the formation of the cavalry division was a bit small, and it was not advantageous to the Cossack cavalry of the Russian Empire, so it was decided to form a cavalry corps to confront it.

Qian Xiangyang asked, "Your Majesty, how will the mercenaries and cavalry troops be settled in the future?" ”

Zhang Wei had already thought about this problem, so he said: "Your side is about to carry out infrastructure construction, and the mercenaries will be responsible for supervising the work of those free laborers, and they will definitely be able to supervise the work, and after the infrastructure construction here is completed, the mercenaries will be transferred out of the Qin State; If the cavalry army is temporarily stationed here, it will be under your jurisdiction for the time being, and it will be trained in the run-in, and it may go to Africa to fight in the future, or it may go to Russia to grab territory, and then make corresponding deployments according to the needs of the situation. ”

"Your Majesty, is the 43rd Army released in Xijing, or is it bothersome for you to go to Baghdad in person?"

Zhang Wei asked rhetorically: "Have you made a layout plan?" ”

"It has been planned, the headquarters of the 43rd Army, the direct subordinate units and the Janissary Division will be stationed in Baghdad, and the 1st Defense Division will be stationed in Mosul; The 2nd Defence Division is based in Raqqa, the 3rd Defence Division is based in Shanljuurfa, and the 4th Defence Division is based in Ramadi. ”

Zhang Wei looked at the map to check the location of these places, and felt that it was indeed not easy for an army to protect this large territory; However, now there is no population, mainly to prevent outsiders from sneaking in, with the assistance of patrol aircraft, isn't it very large; That is, in the future, if there is a population, it will also be dominated by a systematic population, and when the population is larger, the police force will be equipped, and then the workload of the army will be less.

Zhang Wei said: "Originally, I wanted to resettle the residents in place in the past two days, but after thinking about it, what I resettled may not be in line with the opinions of Pangshan and Zhao Xiaolong, or wait for them to come, and then draw up a population resettlement plan, a development plan for schools, hospitals, enterprises and factories, the setting up of various provinces, the allocation of administrative personnel, etc., and I will make arrangements in place at one time, and when the civilians are resettled, the 43rd Army will be placed in your planned location by the way." ”

Qian Xiangyang said: "Your Majesty has considered it very thoroughly, but it will take them at least 3 to 4 days to arrive. ”

"It doesn't matter, I'll just wait a few more days, tomorrow I'm going to go to the desert area to have a look, and when I come back, they will also arrive, you guys will reorganize the cavalry troops according to what you just decided in the next few days, and the two cavalry armies will be temporarily hung under the name of Qin."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission." Qian Xiangyang said that it was too easy for him to reorganize the two cavalry corps.

Zhang Wei thought for a moment and added: "While all the army commanders are here, you should summarize in detail the specific deployment of each army, the key points of defense of each army, and do a good job of seamless docking of the defense lines of each army, especially how to arrange the two new divisions of each army, list the plan, and I will send it to the designated place for you if it is convenient." After the arrival of the huge mountain, you must work together to determine the division of provinces, each army can be in charge of the defense of several provinces, but put an end to the phenomenon that one province is under the jurisdiction of two armies. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone hurriedly answered collectively.
