Chapter 734: Reorganizing the Army (3)
"After all, Li He is a veteran with deep qualifications, and if we can't just have ability, we must also have seniority. Not even to mention that we in China also have qualifications in foreign countries. There is no real ability in this world, so qualifications are also very important. So Li He's qualifications are deeper and easier to get their acceptance. And that Sa Zhenbing still lacks some qualifications at present, so he might as well raise the level first, accumulate some qualifications in Nanyang, and then take over after a few years. Zheng Hong said.
And Wang Guorui thought about it, Li He's qualifications are indeed deeper, and Nanyang really needs a general who is good at landing operations to command, so Sa Zhenbing is more suitable to stay in Nanyang for a few years, accumulate qualifications, and then strive to bring out an "apprentice" to take over the defense of Nanyang again, so it's okay.
"Okay, since that's the case, then let Li Helai take over as the chief of staff of the Navy, and let Sa Zhenbing be in charge of this Nanyang Theater. And now we re-divide the war zone, and in my plan, there will be seven war zones in the future. And each of the seven major theaters has its own deployment area, its own combat mission, and its own imaginary enemy. The seven theaters are the Gyeonggi Theater, the Mongolian Theater, the Northeast Theater, the Northwest Theater, the Southwest Theater, the Southeast Theater, and the Nanyang Theater. Next, this theater deployment map will be responsible for the duties according to the respective defense areas. ”
The seven major theaters formulated by Wang Guorui are not the so-called seven major military regions of China in later generations, and these seven major theaters are not the same as the seven major military regions in later generations. First of all, the Northeast Theater is responsible for the defense of the three northeastern provinces, which is somewhat similar to the Shenyang Military Region in later generations. However, his imaginary enemy was different, and the main imaginary enemy of the Shenyang Military Region in later generations was Lao Maozi, and in this era, because of Lao Maozi's lack of scientific and technological strength, he could not send a large army to fight in Far Eastern Siberia. The mission of all the Northeast Theater is not only to maintain stability in the Northeast region, but also to defend against Japanese invasion. Now Korea is still under Japanese control, so the Japanese can cross the Yalu River from Korea at any time to attack the Northeast, and then this Northeast Theater will definitely defend against the Japanese. Moreover, this Northeast Theater will also assume the responsibility of liberating Korea in the future, so the hypothetical enemy of this target is not the old Maozi of the Shenyang Military Region in the future, but the Japanese.
As for the Gyeonggi theater of operations. It includes the merger of the Beijing Military Region and the Jinan Military Region, but it does not include Inner Mongolia, which is the defense area of the Gyeonggi Military Region. The Gyeonggi Military Region is very obvious, that is, it is responsible for the protection of the Gyeonggi region, and it is obviously a very important place.
And the Mongolian theater of operations, that responsibility is to be responsible for the entire Mongolian region, including not only Inner Mongolia in later generations, but also the so-called Outer Mongolia. The main responsibility of this Mongolian theater of operations is also to deal with the Russians. Their main object of defense is also the Russians. The Mongol Military District can be said to be the first gateway to protect the Gyeonggi important area, so they took on the defense work in the face of the Russians and protected the capital. And they also have to undertake the future strategy of the Russian Siberia and the Far East, they are the main force against Russia, and the Northeast Theater is just an auxiliary.
The Southeast Theater includes the regional composition of the later Nanjing Military Region and the Guangzhou Military Region, and of course Taiwan. In the future, the Southeast Theater is actually a strategic reserve that belongs to the entire country, and their troops will maintain peace and tranquility in the Southeast Region on weekdays, and then they can support each other during operations. If. It's just a matter of if, if one day Russia breaks through the Mongolian Military Region and attacks directly to the Gyeonggi region. At this time, the Southeast Military Region must be responsible for mobilizing troops from the sea and land to support the Gyeonggi area, and undertake the follow-up support logistics tasks of the operation in the Gyeonggi area, so as to effectively support the Gyeonggi region against Russia's invasion.
And if the Nanyang side is invaded by the Western army, they must also support the Nanyang region and protect the Nanyang region when necessary. And if the fighting in the South Seas is tight, then when troops are transferred from the north. The Southeast Theater should also do a good job in the task of transferring personnel and materials in the middle to ensure that soldiers from the north can transfer to the Nanyang region as quickly as possible to protect the operations in the Nanyang region. Therefore, the operational mission planning of this Southeast Theater belongs to the strategic reserve of the Gyeonggi Theater and the Nanyang Theater, and undertakes the task of supporting the transit of logistics materials in the direction of Hangge, and is an important hub for exchanges between northern China and the Nanyang region, and cannot be taken lightly.
As for the South-Western Theater of Operations. The goal is also very obvious, the Southwest Theater is a copy of the Chengdu Military Region in the later generations, and their main defense goal is to defend India. At present, India is still a British colony, so in fact, it is to prevent Britain from attacking from the direction of India, and if necessary, it can fight against India. And Wang Guorui's goal is to wait until the outbreak of World War I in the future, so that the Southwest Military Region can fight against India and seize India.
As for whether World War I will break out, this Wang Guorui is not worried. Because the conflict between the old and new forces in the West has become more and more intense, and the arms race has reached its peak, sooner or later they will also break out into war, this is inevitable, and it will have an impact if Wang Guorui does not appear.
On the one hand, the Northwest Military Region Theater is to prevent Russians from invading Xinjiang, and it is also to defend and suppress some local people with ulterior motives in Xinjiang. As for who these guys are, this- you know! Of course, they also have a task, in the future, the Southwest Military Region will work together to attack the Middle East, and strive to seize it as soon as possible while there are no strong countries in the Middle East during this period, and it is still a colony of various countries. As for why the Middle East is being robbed, of course, this is known to fools. Although the Middle East is still not daily and poor, the future is full of local tyrants! Those Middle Eastern tyrants have killed the world's richest men in later generations. Although those Middle Eastern oil tyrants have no status in the world, they are like stupid people and rich guys.
Why are they so rich, isn't it oil underground? Oil will definitely be the world's most important energy source in the future, even more important than electricity. Even if the price of oil rises and falls in future generations, it cannot hide the importance of oil and the value of oil. Therefore, in order to be able to gain more voice in the world in the future, we should hurry up and grab it when everyone does not know the importance of the Middle East now, so that we can get more benefits and voice in the future. At that time, whoever was disobedient and directly raised the price of oil, even if there was no threat of war, it would be enough for them to drink a pot.
The final Nanyang Theater is naturally very obvious. In addition to maintaining the stability of the Nanyang region, suppressing the local aborigines, protecting the exploitation and use of local resources by the Chinese, and protecting the safety of Chinese immigrants, the Nanyang Theater also has one of the most important tasks, that is, to hold the Strait of Malacca, the hub of trade between the East and the West. The Strait of Malacca is an important hub for communication between East and West, and it is currently in the hands of the Westerners, with Sumatra in the hands of the Dutch and the other half in the hands of the British. Although Wang Guorui married the Queen of the Netherlands, it does not mean that Wang Guorui can master the Netherlands, and it does not mean that Sumatra Island also belongs to Wang Guorui. This kind of thing, Europe is very clearly divided, and it will not be easy to give up for emotional reasons, after all, brothers have to settle accounts!
The South Sea Theater is responsible for guarding the Strait of Malacca, the road from the west to the east, and if they encounter a naval invasion from the West, they must strike at it.
In terms of troop allocation, the Gyeonggi Theater will be dominated by the army, supplemented by the navy. The Northeast Theater is dominated by the army, with only a very small number of navies. The Mongolian theater will be dominated by the army, and the army will be equipped with a not weak cavalry force. The Northwest Theater is full of land forces and no navy, and the army is biased towards desert combat units, and they will open up to the Middle East in the future. The Southwest Military Region will mainly focus on troops that are good at mountain warfare, because they are all mountainous and plateau, and they must be good at mountain and plateau warfare.
The Southeast Theater is dominated by relatively balanced forces of both the army and navy, and their navy is dominated by transport and escort forces, and there are relatively few battleships, because the combat mission they undertake will be the task of transporting supplies and soldiers, so there is no need for such a large force. However, the strategic fleet, that is, the Sword-class battleships, will be deployed in this southeast theater in the future, but they will directly belong to the command of the naval headquarters, and they will only be stationed here. Because the Southeast Theater can communicate between the North and the South, if necessary, it can go north to protect the capital Gyeonggi Region, and if necessary, it can support the Nanyang Theater to fight against the invasion of Westerners.
As for the final Nanyang Military Region, it is a place that is completely dominated by the navy. The Nanyang Military Region has a very large navy, accounting for at least more than 60 percent of Taiwan's naval strength, and there are not only battleships and cruisers, but also many destroyers, frigates, landing craft, and so on. In the future, submarine forces will also be deployed in the South Seas. They will also be equipped with a certain number of marines to be used as a rapid counterforce to suppress indigenous rebellions. They don't have too many land forces in the South Seas Theater, at most they are just one army, which is responsible for the main defense of the islands of Borneo.
The East Borneo Military Region and the West Borneo Military Region, as well as the Philippine Garrison, will be merged into one Nanyang Military Region. Therefore, the strength and strategic position of the Nanyang Theater are actually second only to the Gyeonggi Theater, and the status is much higher than that of other theaters. (To be continued.) )
