Chapter 259 259 Military Restructuring

The Nanyang Republic was officially founded, and Qi Yiming also sent a congratulatory telegram, so naturally he would not send it with the official, but sent it to the new Nanyang government in a private capacity. This can be regarded as a disguised reminder, although I have left Southeast Asia and given you a certain amount of autonomy, but don't forget who is the real person.

With the help of the founding of the Nanyang Republic of China and the establishment of the army, Qi Yiming became the director of the Strategic Bureau, and he began to carry out a new round of military reform of the PLA.

Earlier, because of jealousy and other considerations, Qi Yiming did not share the new equipment obtained after upgrading his base with PLA Zhidao, but now that his identity has settled, and he is considered half of the leader of the military, it is naturally inconvenient to hide the good things, but to take them out and arm the whole army.

However, before arming the PLA, he still has to do some combing work. Since the base was upgraded, the barracks recruitment limit has increased significantly, and he has recruited six more powerful digital heavy divisions as large as the 309th Division, which are listed as the 311-316 Divisions. These units are the most relied on and the most elite units of the company, and the all-red police soldiers can also fight relatively tragic battles regardless of casualties.

There is also a 310th Division of the Blue Army Division, which was recently handed over to Qi Yiming, and Qi Yiming suddenly discovered that no matter how strong the military is, the army that he can mobilize now is nearly 200,000. This made him excited and a little apprehensive. Fortunately, he didn't plan to do anything shady, and he didn't have much to worry about.

These 200,000 horses are not counted on the bright side, because first of all, Qi Yiming is paying for the food, clothing, equipment and so on. Qi Yiming also felt that there were too many things that needed to be paid for by himself, the whole of the Strategy Bureau paid the bills by himself, and the 200,000 soldiers also paid by themselves, but fortunately, the Red Police soldiers did not need salaries, otherwise they would really die.

According to the plan originally set, the streamlining and disarmament of the entire armed forces are still in progress.

The scale of the army is still too large, Qi Yiming followed the veterans in 1985 to carry out a million-dollar disarmament, and that time it was mainly to dismantle the old and weak who were unusable and wanted to drill camps and did not want to fight. After streamlining the size and structure of the troops, the PLA also exerted a lot of combat power subsequently, which made leaders and bigwigs at all levels very satisfied. Although a lot has been cut, Qi Yiming selfishly feels that he may use the Red Police Division on a large scale in the main battlefield that does not need to pay pensions, so it is a waste to maintain a large-scale army that is basically unlikely to fight. Moreover, the army is still divided into A and B classes, and the management is still relatively chaotic, and the equipment is not very uniform, so Qi Yiming simply took this opportunity to slim down the army again.

The seven major military regions are still retained, but the number of army group armies has been reduced to 10, the distinction between type A and type B has been abolished, and the establishment is also larger than before, with at least three fully equipped mechanized divisions in each group army. The Beijing Military Region retains the 27th and 38th Armies, the Shenyang Military Region retains the 39th and 40th Armies, the Jinan Military Region retains the 54th Army, the Nanjing Military Region retains the 1st and 31st Armies, the Lanzhou Military Region retains the 21st Army, the Chengdu Military Region retains the 13th Army, and the Guangzhou Military Region retains the 41st Army. In this way, excluding the army directly under Qi Yiming, the total strength will be reduced to about 1.2 million people.

Qi Yiming was kind enough to carry out this disarmament streamlining reform, and he also vigorously stated the benefits of continuing to disarm and streamline. The Great Elder and some high-ranking military officials agreed with this behavior, and Qi Yiming stated that he led the Red Police soldiers to charge forward, which also dispelled their concerns.

However, this drastic disarmament naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many generals in the army, but they were able to express their dissatisfaction, and Qi Yiming's reason was to shout that it was great enough to eliminate the units that were inferior in combat effectiveness and inefficient, so as to form a stronger, more efficient, and more loyal ground force.

Compared with the hard work of the army, the navy and air force are much happier. Qi Yiming's plan for building the army will expand the size of the navy to 300,000 and the air force to 300,000. The combat power of the Navy and Air Force is useless in numbers, but mainly in terms of equipment. Qi Yiming arranged a huge fleet of 4 aircraft carriers, 6 amphibious assault ships, 4 arsenal ships, 24 cruisers (055 was finalized as a cruiser), 52 destroyers, 36 frigates, 50 corvettes, 12 dock landing ships, 40 AIP submarines, 16 strategic nuclear submarines, and 30 attack nuclear submarines.

The aircraft carrier will mainly consider the Type 002 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the frigate will use the advanced version of the 054B, and part of the original 054A will be transferred to the Southern Liberation Navy, and part will be left to see if anyone wants or send it to the crushing crane to eat. By the way, the PLA Navy also took 12 destroyers of the 052A of the Navy. The status of the four 052A built by the Navy is also a little embarrassing this time, but Liu Huaqing still insists on completing the construction and purely practicing for the shipyard. As for whether to adopt it in the future, the Navy is still studying it.

The Air Force will be equipped with 800 J-11 Black Hawk fighters, 1,200 J-10B second-generation Super Raptors, 600 J-7B Clouded Leopards, 120 H-6K medium bombers, 18 H-9th century bombers, and 400 J-7 Defender attack aircraft.

The Second Artillery will also usher in a wave of fierce growth, with the number of people growing to about 200,000. Qi Yiming was unable to build nuclear weapons before, so although the Second Artillery replaced some advanced missiles such as the Dongfeng-31, the number of nuclear warheads was still insufficient. After the base was upgraded, Qi Yiming not only had stronger missiles such as Dongfeng-41 and Julang-3, but also had the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons. The nuclear warheads are manufactured by the base's nuclear weapons factory, which can provide an average of 100 nuclear warheads with a yield of 250,000 tons per month.

In addition, it will take over part of the land anti-missile operations, and the Hongqi-19, Hongqi-26, and other anti-missile weapons will be operated by the Second Artillery Corps. A large number of medium-range short-range ballistic missiles such as the Changjian series of cruise missiles, the Dongfeng-15, and the Dongfeng-25 will also be equipped, and some of the strategic-level rocket artillery units will also be equipped, with the number of people increasing to 200,000.

In this way, the scale of PLA is similar to that of PLA before Qi Yiming's crossing, about 2.2 million people. However, the combat power is naturally stronger than the PLA at that time.

After entering the Strategic Bureau, Qi Yiming was not the only PLA family, and even Qi Yiming of the armed police force also underwent a earth-shaking change. First of all, it is proposed to separate the professional police units from the armed police, that is, those gold troops, traffic troops, forest troops, etc., and these establishments will be handed over to the relevant units for reorganization.

The biggest change is that the armed police will be formally divided into three parts: the armed police, the coast guard, and the air force. The main reason for making such changes is to strengthen the national defense mobilization mechanism, and the armed police will also become a reserve force in a certain sense, which can be thrown into more complicated battles in the face of special situations. The internal security units of the armed police have also been transformed, and all active armed police units will be named in front of their functions, such as the 11th border detachment, the 7th internal security corps, and so on. The fire brigade and the public security guard force are separated from the armed police, the fire bureau directly leads the fire fighting force, and the central security bureau subordinates the guard team.

The ground force of the People's Armed Police will maintain a size of 1 million, the coast guard will have a size of 100,000, and the air force and armed police will also have 100,000 people.

In addition to handing over to the shipyard to build, Qi Yiming also planned to build a weakened version of the coast guard ship based on the 056, and he also hoped to build a large coast guard ship of 10,000 tons. After all, the Celestial Empire has a vast sea territory, and it is not cost-effective to rely on the navy alone. In the plan, the coast guard should have at least 6 large coast guard ships of 10,000 tons, 12 Shanghai police ships of 5,000 tons, 20 Shanghai police ships of 3,000 tons, and 40 Shanghai police ships of 1,000 tons.

As for the Air Armed Police, it will accept 1,000 J-10A fighters that will be replaced by the Air Force. With the second-generation Super Raptor, Flying Cloud Leopard, and Black Hawk fighters, the Air Force will have to operate more than 2,000 fighters independently, and it is a bit difficult to retain the third-generation aircraft J-10A (because it is very troublesome to have a non-unified standard, so let's put it this way, J-10 is counted as three generations, J-20 is counted as five generations, and the fourth generation is eaten by me). 600 J-7Bs can be modified in three and a half generations, but the J-10A really does not have this need.

So J-10A is the main combat aircraft of the Air Armed Police, J-10A is a good multi-purpose fighter, although the Super Raptors itself has a very good ground attack capability, but it is not worse than the heavy aircraft in air combat, and the demand for territorial air defense is still very good. In addition to fighter planes, the Air Force and Armed Police will also be equipped with certain special aircraft, such as patrol planes, tankers, early warning planes, transport planes, and so on.

With the Air Armed Police, there is a certain overlap of functions between the Air Force and the Air Armed Police. In terms of positioning, Qi Yiming hopes that the air force will begin to transform into a strategic air force, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and can invest in large-scale force projection, strategic strikes, and enemy air defense to destroy them; The Air Force and Armed Police are mainly engaged in the tasks of territorial air defense, plus some tasks such as territorial patrol and search and rescue. Both branches of the armed forces will have anti-aircraft missile units, and the air force will use more advanced equipment.

Because the armed police are very short of professional and technical talents such as the coast guard and the air force, Qi Yiming allocated a batch of useful PLA from the eliminated PLA, and it is not enough to use his own red police soldiers to make up.

The PLA army of 2.2 million people and the armed police army of 1.2 million people are still the largest troops on the planet, although they have been repeatedly reduced and streamlined. Qi Yiming still wants to slowly cultivate his own red police force, it is estimated that if it drags on until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 91, he can save at least a pure red police force of four or five hundred thousand people.

"Sure enough, the Red Police Base is naturally suitable for the existence of violent soldiers!" Qi Yiming happily said to himself, after a round of reconstruction, he began to be busy with the work of the Strategy Bureau and the change of the military system, but he didn't know that the more he didn't want to cause trouble, things would come to him.
