Chapter 911: Focus on Manhattan (6)
"My lord, Colonel Jay Chou of the Third Army in Manhattan reports to you!"
Not long ago, after listening to his secretary's report, Zhang Tie asked him to call the commander of the Third Army in Manhattan to him. Because Zhang Tie already planned to mobilize a group of troops from Manhattan, go to Australia from Manhattan, and then go to the East through Southeast Asia to support His Highness.
Therefore, after the secretary finished reporting on the material situation here in Manhattan, he immediately went to the military headquarters of the Third Army.
And this genetic commander, who has the same name as a star in another world, came to Zhang Tie's office immediately after getting the secretary's notice.
In the eyes of these genetic people in Manhattan, Zhang Tieke is a great man and a nobleman.
Therefore, his call will not be delayed.
Jay Chou is not very old, judging from his appearance, he is in his early twenties and sixteens.
Although his name is the same as that of another star in the world, they don't look exactly the same.
Jay Chou's appearance is a very honest person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his complexion is also a little dark.
His height of 1.84 meters and his body with a tiger's back and a bear's waist look very intimidating.
This is not something that another big star in the world can compare.
In addition, when Jay Chou was cultivated, he did not use that kind of batch cultivation. Therefore, he belongs to the genetic people who have independent thinking and intelligent personality, that is, they are much smarter than those genetic people who are cultivated in batches.
In addition, when he was nurturing, his randomly generated life information was a soldier in high school, and he was admitted to a military school. It was only because he offended people that he was forced to retire from the army and change jobs, so he was a very good seedling.
It was precisely because of his background that Zhang Tie made him the commander of the Third Army with the rank of colonel.
Such an official rank is not low in the Song Empire.
Know the way. Now there are only three generals in the Song Empire.
That is Zhang Tie, Song Hu, and Wang Shan.
The three of them followed Zhao Hongyu as the earliest and closest descendants.
It is for this reason that the three of them became major generals.
Therefore, it is already very good for a latecomer like Jay Chou to be able to give a colonel rank.
Today's Imperial Army, 60% are Chinese-born genetics, 30% are Indians, and the remaining 10% are brainwashed European youths.
After Jay Chou reported it, he stood there straight. Waiting for Zhang Tie to speak.
Along the way, Jay Chou has been pondering why the governor of Manhattan and His Royal Highness's cronies are looking for him.
However, he did not get any answers.
When he was on the road, he thought about a lot of things.
Even, he was a little excited, did he think that there was going to be a war?
You must know that as a soldier, Jay Chou is still eager to make contributions on the battlefield.
It's just that what makes him a little helpless. He did not experience any of the wars of the founding of the empire.
After all, that time was the most difficult period for Zhao Hongyu, and he Jay Chou had not yet been cultivated.
Although the most after he was cultivated. Came to this worldly realm.
However, the Song Empire had already begun to take shape, and there were no major battles.
Even if there were, there would be no chance of using the Army. It's all those navy fights.
Therefore, as an army general, how eager he is to lead the army into battle.
Even if. It's okay to fight the Indians in the middle.
It's just that Jay Chou also knows that these are his own delusions, and they are simply impossible.
The Indians of the central part did not have much conflict with the Empire, and the Empire established cities in the Empire. But they are slowly merging them by peaceful means, and there will be no war in the process.
With such cranky thoughts, Jay Chou came to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie sat behind his desk and looked up at the straight Jay Chou who was standing. After a long while, Zhang Tie spoke.
"How is the training of the troops now?"
As soon as Zhang Tie spoke, Jay Chou thought that this time Governor Zhang Tie summoned him, and he was going to ask about the training. Therefore, in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
After all, there is no possibility of any major war in the developing Manhattan and the Song Empire, so there will definitely be very few times when they can use their army.
That is, the empire is now dominated by peace.
This is a very sad thing for their army.
Although he thought so in his heart, Jay Chou's face didn't have much reaction, he still had a serious expression, and replied very seriously: "My lord, all the officers and soldiers of our Third Army insist on training every day and dare not delay for a moment. ”
Zhang Tie nodded and said, "Now your Third Army has a total of more than 24,000 officers and soldiers, right?" His words made Jay Chou begin to mutter, 'Why does the Governor want to ask such a thing?' Could it be that there are too many people who dislike it, so the soldiers must be streamlined? ’
Jay Chou, who wanted to be crooked, couldn't calm down at once.
A somewhat anxious look appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth as if he was about to say something.
It's just that he didn't say it when he opened his mouth a few times, because he didn't know how to say it.
After all, he was dealing with the Governor of Manhattan, and if someone like him was to question him, he had to think about the consequences.
Today, Manhattan has six legions of standing Army groups, numbering almost 150,000 men.
It can be said that the Chinese genetic people in the empire now, except for a few people who choose to do freelance jobs to do business, and those who are farmers to exploit black slaves, basically either enter the government departments of the empire, or all of them enter the army.
This is also Zhao Hongyu and the others, who have already planned and planned for a long time.
The economic, military, and government departments of the Song Empire had to be in the hands of the Chinese, and this could never change.
Of course, in order to look good, and also to deceive those peasants of other races even more. A small number of grassroots cadres still need to use some people of other ethnic groups, for example, if there is a village in the future, then cadres such as village chiefs and township heads. Definitely going to use some.
However, some key departments will definitely use Chinese despicants.
This can be regarded as a check and balance.
Although there is no time to need this kind of means now, Zhao Hongyu, who is taking precautions, has already thought of this.
It can be said that the Chinese citizens living in Manhattan and even the Song Empire are not idle at all.
Even female Chinese people went to school to brainwash those children.
Otherwise, it's in the hospital.
This secret policy of the empire to give priority to Chinese people has won the support of all Chinese genetic people. Nor did they have any objections.
Even, they feel that such a policy should be maintained, and if anyone dares to touch such a policy, then it should be the mortal enemy of all their Chinese descent.
Of course, as His Royal Highness Zhao Hongyu, who formulated this policy, if he wants to change this policy, everyone will not say anything, anyway, it is certain that his loyalty will decline after the last day.
And Jay Chou is such a supporter of the Great China Policy.
Even, he joined the small group 'Yanhuang Chauvinism Society' formed by Song Hu, Zhang Tie and Wang Shan. For the supreme argument of the Yanhuang bloodline propagated within this group, it is quite respected.
In other words, Jay Chou is also an angry young man.
Of course, although this angry youth group preaches the theory of Yanhuang blood. But that doesn't mean they exclude other ethnic groups. For if other races are excluded, does it not mean that they will have no one to serve them?
Therefore, after Zhang Tie, Song Hu and Wang Shan, as well as the bad old man and the old angry young Professor Liu, who joined the most late. The group's rhetoric has changed to being at the top and allowing other ethnic groups to serve their own good.
However, in order to get to this point. They must give the Yan and Huang people strong military and political power, as well as economic power.
Therefore, after Jay Chou misunderstood that the Third Army was to be streamlined, he was so anxious.
Because military power could guarantee the rule of the Chinese people over the Song Empire, and they could make effective repressions in times of danger.
But all of this is based on strong military strength.
If the army is streamlined, resulting in a problem of insufficient military strength, they will be ashamed of His Royal Highness Zhao Hongyu and the empire.
You must know that the number of Europeans in Manhattan now exceeds 800,000, which is more than that of Chinese Americans. The Indians have already exceeded a million people, which is very dangerous.
Although the Indians can rest assured, the Europeans have to guard against it.
If these 800,000 people make a fuss, this is not a trivial matter.
At the same time, there are more than 500,000 black slaves in Manhattan.
Therefore, it was extremely necessary for the empire to maintain a large army as a basis for stabilizing the city.
Seeing Jay Chou's appearance of wanting to speak several times made Zhang Tie a little strange.
"Say whatever you want, don't be so rambling."
Zhang Tie didn't know what he said wrong to make this commander like this.
This is also to blame Jay Chou for thinking wildly, which led to such a small misunderstanding.
In fact, Zhang Tie himself didn't know how important it was to ensure that he had a large army for the current Song Empire.
After all, they don't have so many high-tech weapons at hand, so they can only have a large number of troops now, so that those who have different intentions in the European group dare not come out.
Otherwise, these guys will definitely make trouble.
Yes, among the Europeans here in the Song Empire, there were still some people with bad intentions.
This group is the remnants of the European Church that survived two sweeps.
Zhang Tie has always been extremely vigilant about these guys.
Didn't these guys instigate the last European riot?
Although it was suppressed, it also made Zhang Tie see the danger.
More and more Europeans are coming to Manhattan today, and in a few years the number of these Europeans will exceed 1.5 million or even 2 million.
When there are a certain number of Europeans, if these church guys stir up trouble again, and want to suppress it as easily as the last time, it may not be so easy.
Therefore, Manhattan must have an elite and huge armed force to avoid any accidents and threats in the future.
For example, Quebec and Ontario are much better, because the European population is not the main part of these two regions.
On the Quebec side, there are three parts: Somali blacks, French citizens, and Indians, of which French make up only 20% of the population, so there is nothing to worry about at all.
And in the 'faith plan', these French citizens of Quebec have been brainwashed that they no longer believe in the church.
So Quebec doesn't have to worry about this at all.
Ontario is even simpler, because the population there is made up of Chinese and Native Americans.
Although there are also European ethnic populations, those people are all prisoners bought back from Europe by Zhao Hongyu, they are not citizens of the empire, and they can't even help but live and die.
So, these people don't have to worry about anything.
In addition, there are those black slaves in the three major regions.
They don't believe in God, so they don't have to worry.
Therefore, only Manhattan is flooded with a large number of Europeans, which makes Zhang Tie vigilant.
Even Zhang Tie sometimes thinks that if the empire can get modern firearms from the virtual world, even weapons from the Republic of China.
As long as he had that kind of weapon, he didn't have to always be on guard against the Europeans in Manhattan.
At that time, even if all the Europeans in Manhattan rioted together, and those advanced weapons, Zhang Tie could control the situation in a short time.
Well, it is okay to officially cooperate with the mountain artillery.
It's just that these are still impossible for Zhang Tie.
Chen Zhenbang didn't dare to sell these things to them at all.
Zhang Tie had already signaled a few times, but Chen Zhenbang didn't dare to interrupt.
This made Zhang Tie very disappointed.
At the same time, the scientific research investment in the space-time trader is too cheating, which makes Zhang Tie very helpless.
"Your Excellency the Governor, your subordinates have asked to go and not reduce the army. The subordinates think that we don't have a lot of troops at the moment, and we even need to expand the number if we can. After all, with the influx of Europeans increasing, the subordinates are worried that there may be riots like last year in the coming period. ”
When Zhang Tie asked him to speak, Jay Chou mustered up the courage to say what he thought in his heart.
Streamlining the army?
After Zhang Tie listened to Jay Chou's words, his eyes widened.
Why didn't he know when he said that he was going to streamline the army.
After thinking about it, Zhang Tie didn't remember that he had said such a thing at all.
"I said, as if I hadn't said anything like that at all, right? Who are you listening to that I am going to order the downsizing of the army? Zhang Tie's expression slowly became serious.
Oh my god, it looks like I misunderstood.
Hearing Zhang Tie say this, Jay Chou suddenly came to his senses...... (To be continued......)
