Chapter 237: Silver Has No White Flowers (I)

It is precisely because of so much silver that Li Hui frantically recruited troops in early August, increasing the total number of biochemical soldiers to more than 330,000 in one go, and most of them are expensive technical troops. As a result, the cost of the monthly "military salary" charged by the www.biquge.info system skyrocketed to almost 900 tons of silver, and tens of thousands of tons of silver a year, which is terrifying to think about, and it is precisely because of such a heavy burden that Li Hui has never recruited a large number of biochemical soldiers (recruiting more than 10,000 people at a time), but he has never regretted his decision.

With more than 100,000 combat-type biochemical soldiers (infantry artillerymen) as the backbone, Li Hui could quickly expand the size of the army to more than 1 million, far exceeding previous expectations, and with such force support, quelling the rebellion in the frontier would be much faster than Li Hui initially estimated.

Take the Northeast Theater as an example, on the one hand, Yuan Shikai could have a large number of mobile troops sufficient to launch an attack earlier, and on the other hand, with such a strong force as a backing, even if the enemy broke into pieces and drilled into the mountains and forests to continue to resist, Yuan Shikai would be able to wipe them out in a relatively short time.

Another point is that a large army can create a sufficient deterrent to potential enemies, whether external or domestic. The presence of more than a million regular troops, together with hundreds of thousands of policemen with more than 50,000 gendarmes as the backbone, is enough to strike fear into the hearts of any enemy.

The total number of medical personnel, technicians and agents is more than 100,000, which is enough to build the basic skeleton of a modern country, which cannot be exchanged for any amount of money for China, which has an extremely weak foundation.

More importantly, with more than 300,000 biochemical soldiers who were absolutely obedient to Li Hui and comparable in ability and character to the old Red Army in 1936, the Datong Party suddenly had a rock-solid organizational foundation, and if it started from scratch, even if there were no detours or setbacks, it would have taken at least ten more years.

Although for the time being, they are only wearing the sign of probationary party members, but with their quality, they should be able to turn into regular members by the end of the year, and the Datong Party at that time, if even probationary party members are counted, the number is likely to be several million.

Such a large and powerful organization is enough to support the implementation of various important initiatives, including land reform, in the plains with easy transportation, and then cover the whole country within a year.

A great China that has completed these reforms and initially established a modern state system can easily leap to the top three in the world in terms of fiscal revenue, and its mobilization capacity is almost unlimited, and it has been invincible at the strategic level at the end of the 19th century, before the invention of airplanes and tanks.

After realizing this, even if the Western powers really colluded to form an anti-China alliance, Li Hui was not as worried as before, and even had a faint expectation. Before, he was reluctant to make too many enemies, mainly because he didn't have enough cadres and couldn't digest even if he grabbed a large number of Western colonies, but now, the situation is different, the technological advantage can be maintained for at least a few years, and after a few years, no matter how much territory can be eaten......

Even Tsarist Russia, which gave Li Hui a headache because of geographical factors before, has no fear now, but this is not all because of the increase in the strength of the Datong Party......

After consuming 10,000 tons of silver, Li Hui unsurprisingly obtained a new permission, which seemed inconspicuous, but after careful analysis, Li Hui found that the value of this new permission was almost more than the sum of all the additional permissions he had obtained before......

"Can you temporarily appoint a full-level agent to delegate one of my privileges to him? Of course, this has to be 'deployed'! After Li Hui thought of this, he was immediately ecstatic, "Although I will temporarily lose this authority after decentralization, I can spend money (let the system) produce the materials first, and then the agent will deploy them in a different place!" ”

This not only means that Li Hui does not have to run around in the future to deploy supplies and troops, thus saving a lot of time and energy, but also that some construction projects that have been abandoned because of the distance can also be carried out.

And this almost "teleportation" mode of material transportation is even more prominent in military value, because it ignores the infrastructure and terrain and climate, as long as that agent is sent to cooperate, the troops can still get sufficient supplies even in the snowfield or desert with no roads at all, which is too significant!

Although Li Hui had done tests before, he knew that in a completely field environment where there were no ready-made storage or transportation facilities, even if all the time except for eating, drinking, and lazing was used to deploy supplies, it could only ensure the living and combat needs of less than 100,000 people. Also, because no one can be present at the time of deployment, at least one regiment of all-bio-chemical logistics troops must be used to support it (although this can be deployed along with the deployment of supplies), which can be quite costly, but even so, it is still extremely valuable.

Take Xinjiang as an example, if China and Tsarist Russia are at war here, with the current equipment level of both sides, under normal circumstances, the Chinese army can put in 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and the situation of Tsarist Russia is slightly better, but it is definitely not more than 50,000. Under these circumstances, Li Hui knew all too well what it meant to suddenly join an army of 100,000 that didn't have to worry about supplies at all......

"Not only that, but with this means, the actions of that force can also become unpredictable, because they no longer need to go along the lines of communication, supplies can be provided directly by the system, even heavy weapons such as cannons can be omitted, and the system can produce some spare ones in advance. All the men went on the road lightly, and if they were all on horseback, the small troops would not be able to stop them, and the large troops would certainly not be able to catch up, so they could drive straight into the enemy's rear, penetrate thousands of kilometers in depth, or even more distant positions, and then deploy heavy weapons to attack those strategic points where the troops were empty. Considering that the troops themselves who have the opportunity to enjoy this treatment must be the elite aces, how can 100,000 elite soldiers be paired with heavy artillery to attack the enemy's weakly defended rear cities? After coming up with this unbelievable way of fighting, Li Hui unconsciously wiped a cold sweat and secretly felt sad for his enemy countries...... (To be continued.) )
