-Chapter 487: Establishment of a Military Region-

For the army and air force that had no restrictions, the Boston Empire was naturally more open-handed. Due to the small population, Boston's army standing army has only 50 divisions and 1.5 million people, but because Boston has a flat and mountainous terrain, it can increase the use of heavy equipment. As a result, only four of the fifty divisions will be mountain infantry, and the rest will all be mechanized, so that even if the number of heavy equipment of the mechanized troops of the Boston Empire is low, at least 6,000 combat vehicles and tens of thousands of trucks will be needed.

The Boston Empire's air force construction plan was even larger, and after the Boston high-level saw the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Chinese Imperial Air Force during the war, they made up their minds to increase air force investment.

After the war, they collected a large number of scientific and technological personnel and technical materials of the defeated countries, and made many improvements and innovations in their own existing technologies. After referencing the shape of the Chinese Air Force aircraft, the Boston Empire created its first all-metal monoplane, named the P-26 fighter, and soon equipped its troops.

Relying on its strong industrial production capacity, the Boston Imperial Air Force soon increased to 40 wings, including 35 fighter wings and 5 bomber wings, and equipped with as many as 3,200 aircraft.

The frantic expansion of the Boston Empire gave Fang Xiaoyu a very good excuse, at least the Chinese Empire could expand its army and update its equipment in a grand manner, without falling under the pretext of provoking an arms race. Therefore, after the Boston Empire announced the start of military expansion, Fang Xiaoyu also announced that the Chinese Empire had begun a new round of army reorganization plan.

The first is that the Chinese Air Force will be divided into two parts, like the Army, of which the Guards Air Force will have sixty wings, including twenty fighter wings, five bomber wings, twenty-five ground attack aircraft wings, and ten transport aircraft wings.

At present, the ground attack aircraft wing uses the Kunpeng 2 bombers that have just been put into service, but this kind of four-engine large bomber that replaces the Kunpeng 1 bomber is not suitable for ground tactical attack, Fang Xiaoyu plans to replace them with lighter tactical bombers as soon as possible, but now this kind of aircraft has not been successfully developed, and all their equipment is temporarily vacant, so they will make do with the Kunpeng 2 bomber, and the bomber wing is ready to be built in accordance with the strategic bomber force. They took it for granted with new bombers.

The Wehrmacht Air Force also has 60 wings, including 30 fighter wings, 10 bomber wings, 10 tactical bomber wings, and 10 transport aircraft wings.

In terms of the army, the Guards Army will be reorganized into six army groups, under the jurisdiction of 30 armies and 900,000 men, all of which are heavily armored units. The Wehrmacht consisted of 30 armies, 150 corps, and 4.5 million men, of which 30 were heavily armoured, 50 were mechanized infantry, 15 were mountain infantry, 25 were polar infantry, 25 were desert lightly armored troops, and five were jungle infantry.

In order to better deploy troops, the country is divided into nine military regions: Beijing, the Far East, the Urals, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the Southeast, the Mediterranean, the South, and Aberdeen.

The Far Eastern Military District, commanded by Zhang Mingzhong, has 10 polar infantry corps, 5 mechanized infantry corps, and 5 heavy armored corps, and covers a vast area east of the Yeseni River to the coastal area and south to Montt County.

The Ural Military District is commanded by Wei Lihui and has 15 polar infantry corps, 10 mechanized corps and 5 heavy armored corps, which covers a vast area from the Ural Mountains in the east, to the Yeseny River in the west, and to the southern border city of Ashgabat in the south of the former Stanya Alliance, as an advanced base for direct support to the Cossack Empire in its operations against Russia.

The East China Sea and South China Sea Military Regions were commanded by Sun Zhonglian and Du Guangting respectively, and their areas divided the territory of the former Lanfang Empire in two with Zhili County as the boundary.

The Southeastern Military Region included the former Kingdom of Siam and all the islands south of Yizhou Island, and to the east reached the Bay of Bengal near the western part of the country, which was not suitable for mechanized troops, so Li Delin, who was in charge of it, had five jungle infantry corps in charge.

The Mediterranean Military Region is a large military region spanning the Central Continent and the Southern Subcontinent, which includes a vast area from Ashgabat in the north, Hamadan in the east, and Cairo City in the south.

The Southern Military Region included all of the newly acquired colonies of the Southern Subcontinent south of Cairo under the command of Xue Boling, and consisted of fifteen desert light armoured corps, five heavy armoured corps, and five mechanized infantry corps.

The commander of the Aberdeen Military Region is the most famous second-class general Zhang Zhonglin, and his jurisdiction includes the Persian region, the western part of the city and the area near the Aberdeen Peninsula, where the area is vast and complex, there are mountains, plains and even to defend the coastline, and in wartime it is also used as a support force for the Mediterranean Military Region, so it has almost all the military regions second only to the Beijing Military Region, including ten mechanized infantry corps, ten mountain infantry corps and ten heavy armored corps. In addition, in order to coordinate with the air defense tasks of these nine military regions, the air force has also been assigned to various military regions, and with the exception of the Beijing Military Region, which has 10 fighter wings of the Guards Army and all bomber and transport aircraft wings, the other air forces have been assigned to each military region to take up air defense and ground support tasks in accordance with the principle of giving priority to the front and emphasizing the rear.

Due to the restrictions of the "Roman Convention", the naval forces of the Chinese Empire could not be built too large, but in order to improve the combat effectiveness, Fang Xiaoyu still decided to win by quality, he just announced the construction of four 'Zhili' class battleships with a displacement of 50,000 tons with great fanfare, and the previous three battleships were determined to be for the Cossack Empire. This time, Fang Xiaoyu was built by the Three Kingdoms of the Istanbul Empire and the St. Martin Empire, and Fang Xiaoyu claimed to be for the Chinese Empire's own use.

On the surface, this battleship construction plan is Fang Xiaoyu's decision to abandon the aircraft carrier and build battleships with all the large warships, but in fact, these four battleships are just a cover.

What the Chinese Empire wants to use for its own use in the future are the three 'General' class aircraft carriers with a standard displacement of 60,000 tons secretly built in Moore Port and the Ryukyu Shipyard, these three aircraft carriers will be the main force of the Chinese Empire at sea for a long time in the future, and the 'Hongyuan' class cruisers that have already built thirteen ships were urgently stopped, waiting for Fang Xiaoyu's next instructions before choosing whether to build them, because there was news from the Wild Continent that the missile was about to be developed.

At this time, Fang Xiaoyu has a much greater choice than the Boston Empire, with the framework of NATO's military integration, he can make overall planning for the navies of all allied countries, and the entire NATO navy can be integrated into one navy.

In NATO's naval plan, the Cossack and St. Martin Empires, which have a limit of 80,000 tons of capital ships, each have a 50,000-ton displacement 'Naoli' class battleship, and a 30,000-ton displacement 'Governor'-class aircraft carrier that was previously intended to be used by themselves, and the Ister Empire is also equipped with a 'Naoli' class battleship, while the Latin Kingdom and the Hawa Kingdom are only equipped with a 'Governor' class aircraft carrier.

With such a configuration, the fleet of the Cossack Empire could fight independently or be mixed with the reinforced Chinese Imperial fleet, while the St. Martin Empire could rely on the Latin Kingdom and the Hawa Kingdom to organize a fleet consisting of one 'Zhili' class battleship and three 'Governor' class aircraft carriers in the case that the Chinese Empire could not support it, which could completely confront the Boston Empire in a short time.

These warships were all designed by Fang Xiaoyu himself before, and he planned to join the Imperial Chinese Navy, and after a period of hesitation, Fang Xiaoyu still decided to use the more combat-effective 'General' class aircraft carrier. These new-type warships that have already started construction are just cheaper than a few allies, and of course the price will not be less, and to be able to get such advanced warships, several allies are naturally very willing to pay.

In addition to warships, Fang Xiaoyu also used the pretext of strengthening the military strength of the allies, and opened the supply of semi-automatic rifles, general-purpose machine guns and other weapons in the 07 gun family used in his army to the allies.

On the surface, Fang Xiaoyu strengthened the military strength of the allies, but in fact, Fang Xiaoyu began to equip the troops with better machine guns and fully automatic rifles, and those replaced weapons were wasted, which was also Fang Xiaoyu's consistent strategy, only the air forces of various countries used the same aircraft models as the Chinese Empire.

Fang Xiaoyu implemented a policy of economic integration within the scope of NATO, and wantonly armed the allies, which frightened the Boston Empire and the countries of the Western Continent, and various countries sent representatives to Beijing to express their worries to the Chinese Imperial Government.

In the face of the Allied countries, Wu Qiong put on a face that was deeply worried about the expansion of the Boston Empire, saying that the Chinese Empire was forced to carry out self-defense and expansion, hoping that all countries could understand, and the envoys of various countries could only scold the Boston Empire in their hearts.
