Chapter XXVI Military Council
Since the system has been upgraded to the county level, it can synthesize 2,880 officers and soldiers every day, and Zhang Wei has not stopped synthesizing officers and soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The system was upgraded to the county level, and after unlocking the naval project, Zhang Wei was completely relieved.
Immediately after the upgrade, Han Xin was asked to choose a regimental artillery model for the army. Han Xin chose from the list provided by Xiao Yu'er, and finally chose the Bofors Type 1930 75mm mountain gun. Each company is equipped with 4 guns, and each battalion is equipped with 12 guns.
Yang Yili of the Navy also submitted a fleet configuration plan, with the German Moltke-class battlecruisers selected for the battlecruisers and the Russian Novik-class destroyers for the destroyers. And choose Pontianak as the current military port, as long as it occupies the military port can be quickly built.
In order to unify the views of various departments on the current situation and future development plans, Zhang Wei convened a meeting of Han Xin, James, Yang Yili and Li Yunhai on October 7 to discuss the development steps before the year.
"I'll look at the specific parameters of the artillery and warships you have chosen, but today I mainly want to determine what we should do when we arrive next? How? ”
Han Xin first asked, "Young Master, how many soldiers are there in the system now?" “
After communicating with Xiao Yu'er, Zhang Wei said: "Now there are 14 regiments and more than 60,000 people, but they are not counted as regiment-level artillery battalions. “
"Then these forces will be enough to occupy the whole of West Kalimantan."
"I don't just want to occupy West Kalimantan, but all of Kalimantan except for the part occupied by the British."
"Then these troops are not enough, at least 10 regiments must occupy the place, and enough troops must be set aside to deal with the Dutch army to attack, and 10 regiments are also needed, otherwise it will not be able to control so many natives at all."
"After unlocking, there is another advantage that we can equip a portable wireless telegraph, which is also a big killer feature for us." Zhang Wei said.
"Young master, can you take down the Netherlands in one step and occupy the East Indies all?" Han Xin asked.
"This is too difficult, we better go in two steps, first occupy Kalimantan, upgrade the system to the provincial level, and then accumulate strength to drive all the Dutch out of the East Indies, which is safer. I was not afraid of the Dutch army, I was afraid of British and French interference, so I started to take smaller steps. Zhang Wei said: "Also, your intelligence department can carry out its work in an all-round way, and now there are portable wireless telegraphs, and it is also very convenient to contact, so it should be equipped to each intelligence point as soon as possible." It is necessary to take the situation of the warships of the Dutch Navy and the situation of the Dutch Army and the armament, so that we can choose the equipment well. ”
"Yes, young master"
"That's it, you don't have to take care of the intelligence department in the future, I'll synthesize an elite spy in a while, you hand over the construction of the intelligence department to him, after all, you are not an expert in this area, let's let a professional do it."
"Yes, young master"
After discussing for a long time, Zhang Wei now feels that his IQ is really not enough, and when he didn't have a navy, he was worried that the Dutch Navy would call, but now that he has a navy, he doesn't know what to do. I thought that these special people could provide reasonable advice to themselves, but these suggestions did not feel ideal.
Otaku really don't have much in their stomachs.
So, Zhang Wei immediately contacted Xiao Yu'er to synthesize an elite-level army staff officer, an elite-level naval staff officer, an elite-level spy, an elite-level administrator and an elite-level businessman, each with 1600 points, a total of 8000 points, which is not much for Zhang Wei now, with these elite-level figures to give advice to themselves, the future development should be very smooth.
After a while, Xiao Yu'er reminded that the five elite-level talents had been synthesized.
Zhang Wei released them out of the system, and everyone introduced each other.
Zhang Wei immediately made their appointments: Zheng Daoping, an elite-level administrator, who later served as the premier of the Lanfang Government Council; Li Civilian, an elite-level spy, later served as Lanfang's intelligence minister; Lu Weimin, an elite-level army staff officer, later served as chief of the army general staff; Li Zhaoshui, an elite-level naval staff officer who later served as chief of the Navy's General Staff; Lu Sifu, an elite-level businessman, later served as the director of the Commercial and Finance Bureau of the Government Council.
Zhang Wei asked Han Xin and others to introduce the current situation, so that these five elites could have an intuitive understanding of their small forces.
After listening to James's introduction, Prime Minister Zheng Daoping spoke: "Young master, I feel that we are not in a hurry to expand for the time being, first build the Bank of Asia, at least wait for these countries to cooperate with the Bank of Asia for 2 months before we start a war, if we want to start a war, I mean to occupy the Dutch part of Kalimantan Island first, and then expand after stabilization, the pace really can't be too fast, otherwise if the gold exchange on James's side stops, our income will be reduced, and we will rely solely on land points and population points, How many more months can we hold out? Therefore, I suggest that it be developed gradually, and that all countries will transport the money looted in the colonies back to China before the Chinese New Year, and they will definitely come to us to exchange gold, and after this is done, our profits will be able to support us for a few months. “
Lu Weimin, chief of the general staff of the army, said: "Young master, financial resources are one thing, and more importantly, we are seriously lagging behind in this area of intelligence, which is likely to affect our judgment, I hope that within two months, the Ministry of Intelligence can come up with military intelligence about the Netherlands, Britain and France in South Asia, including the navy, army, weapons and equipment, the number of troops, etc.; At the same time, I think that the establishment and weaponry of our army need to be further improved, so I suggest that we continue to synthesize soldiers, but we should not equip the weapons first, and then equip them when we decide when the incident is decided, and I will also re-study the establishment and weaponry of the troops. ”
Li Zhaoshui, chief of the general staff of the Navy, said: "Pontianak is not suitable for a military port at all, and at present, the ships berthed will not exceed 2,000 tonnage, otherwise, with the local economic situation, the Dutch will definitely station warships and troops here, mainly Pontianak is easy to attack and difficult to defend, not suitable for the construction of a large military port, and cannot dock battleships and battle cruisers, in the initial stage of development, fast torpedo boats and destroyers and even submarines can be stationed in Pontianak, so I suggest that James use the excuse of transporting gold or wanting to trade grain, First build a simple dock in Pontianak, which can berth destroyers of about 2,000 tons; In addition, battleships and battle cruisers cannot be sailed in the Capuas River, we can send destroyers and gunboats to occupy the area on both sides of the Kapuas River first, this place the Dutch will not dare to come, we can also destroy them when they come, so that the system can be upgraded to the city level. My opinion is also to take two steps, first occupy Kalimantan Island, and immediately attack Java Island after upgrading to the provincial level, as long as Java Island is occupied, the entire East Indies will be ours, and the Dutch Navy has nothing to worry about. ”
After listening to everyone's suggestions, Zhang Wei made a summary: "The first is the Ministry of Intelligence, and Li Minmin has also accelerated the collection of intelligence work and the construction of new intelligence points, and each intelligence point is equipped with portable telegraph machines, which can contact the Ministry of Intelligence at any time. the establishment of new intelligence points in Shanghai and Singapore; The second is James, who speeds up the construction of the bank's three office buildings, actively exchanges silver, and contacts the Pontianak magistrate if he can build a freight terminal himself; The third is the reorganization of the army and the selection of weapons, anyway, the synthesis of the army will not stop; The fourth is to occupy the part east of Oreo on the Capuas River, first establish a river fleet, and on the 11th I will accompany the navy to Sangao to establish an river fleet, and your navy will choose the ship type and other material requirements in advance. As for other matters, it can only be solved at any time, at least in October and November, and when the system is upgraded to the city level, it is necessary to occupy Pontianak and Yamaguchi as soon as possible, and quickly occupy the Dutch part of Kalimantan. ”
James was responsible for the accommodation arrangements for the 5 couples.
Zhang Wei was also very depressed, he still had to wait, he had to wait when he didn't have a navy, and he still had to wait now that he had a navy.
