Highly recommend Zichai's new work to save the country from the harem: "Black Flag"!

--- rare dividing line----

Seeing Lin Taizeng's smug expression, General Zhang Yaoqian, Minister of the Army and Chief of Staff of the Base Camp, leaned his face close to the ear of General Liu Bailiang, Chief of General Staff: "Is this good?" The Navy is getting more and more proud. ”

Liu Bailiang smiled slightly: "Let them go proudly, we have nothing to lose." ”

"No, the resources are all taken up by the navy, and I'm worried that the army won't be able to open the land bridge as scheduled......"

Zhang Yaoqian frowned dissatisfiedly.

Liu Bailiang shook his head and pushed him with his elbow: "Go out and speak." ”

The two walked out of the National Assembly hall indulged in patriotic ecstasy together, and got into Liu Bailiang's black Wanghu bulletproof car, Liu Bailiang ordered the driver to sit in the rear of the entourage car, personally operate the steering wheel, and experience the long-lost driving pleasure

"Don't be jealous of the navy, the fact that the group does not directly control the navy does not mean that it is conniving at the navy's self-reliance, and still less does it want a situation of confrontational competition between sea and land."

Liu Bailiang turned the steering wheel briskly, the car turned into the majestic Yongding Gate Gatehouse, a clanging tram swayed unhurriedly from the side, the car was crowded with students in uniform, singing military songs, their singing voices were so loud and passionate, their expressions were so vivid and lively, and their youth was so blazing......

“…… The wind was fluttering, the rain was dashing, the army was cold, and he vowed to sacrifice his life to reward the country, and his ambition would not return. Thousands of people cheered and cheered beside the road, wishing our division's long march to be famous in all directions. ”

"Moermaxi Horge Xi won on the battlefield, saved the people from the water and fire, and played the chapter of triumph in the cave of the Yellow Dragon, and raised the sound of the Han in the desperate army......"

Liu Bailiang turned his face out of the window: "See, this country is boiling, but we don't know what the ending of the road is, if the war fails, maybe they will deal with us with several times more enthusiasm...... Do you think the army is not enough? ”

Zhang Yaoqian folded his arms and rolled his eyes left and right: "As of last week, the strength of the alliance against Russia is 47 divisions, 32 cavalry brigades and 20 armored brigades, a total of 48 divisions are invested in the south and the East China Sea, and there are still 31 divisions in the reserve of the joint base camp, which seems to be more than enough on paper......

"Actually, how?"

"Of the 31 divisions now in the base camp reserve, 20 are short of heavy weapons, 15 are short of officers, and 6 are completely unarmed - just empty shelves. In addition, the will to fight of the allied forces is also worth paying attention to, after all, 18 of the 124 divisions of the coalition forces are from the allied forces of the DPRK and Japan, and if they cannot unite with one heart and one mind to face the enemy, they will become a burden to our army. Moreover, according to the latest information, the infantry divisions of the European powers have made every effort to strengthen the armament of their combat units during the war, and the firepower density of the infantry divisions has greatly increased, and our army's superiority in this regard is no longer obvious. ”

As Zhang Yaoqian said, by the beginning of 1915:

The German division had 16,600 men, 54 heavy machine guns, 104 light machine guns and 72 divisional guns.

A French division had 15,900 men, 56-72 heavy machine guns, 216 light machine guns and 36 divisional artillery.

One division of the Russian army has 21,000 men, * heavy machine guns and 48 divisional artillery.

A heavy division of the Chinese army has 22,500 men, * heavy machine guns, 304 light machine guns and 54 divisional artillery.

A light division of the Chinese army has 14,500 men, 48 heavy machine guns, 207 light machine guns and 36 divisional artillery.

In addition, in terms of the formation of infantry corps:

The Germans had 24 infantry battalions, 6 to 8 cavalry companies, 128 heavy machine guns, 28 artillery batteries with a total of 160 guns, and 3 combat engineer companies, totaling 45,600 men and 16,800 horses.

Each corps of the French army had 28 infantry battalions, 6 cavalry companies, 128-160 heavy machine guns, 30 artillery batteries with a total of 120 guns, and 4 combat engineer companies, with a total of 44,200 men and 12,600 horses.

Each corps of the Russian army has 32 infantry battalions, 6 cavalry companies, 128 heavy machine guns, 14 artillery batteries with a total of 108 artillery pieces, and 5 combat engineer companies, with a total of 48,700 men and 13,500 horses.

Each heavy infantry corps of the Chinese army has 24 infantry battalions, 6 cavalry companies, 128 heavy machine guns, 22 artillery batteries, a total of 124 artillery pieces above the division level (another 48 75 infantry guns), 6 combat engineer companies, a total of 50,000 men and 16,500 horses.

Each light infantry corps of the Chinese army has 18 infantry battalions, 96 heavy machine guns, 14 artillery companies, a total of 80 artillery pieces of more than 80 divisions (another 36 75 infantry guns), and 3 combat engineer companies, with a total of 35,000 men and less than 10,000 mules and horses.

Liu Bailiang naturally knew this, but he still didn't think so: "So what? The 95 divisions that have already been formed are not enough? With the addition of several divisions of the Marine Corps, there should be no need to worry in the short term. ”

Zhang Yao pointed up a platinum hard door: "It's good to take precautions, I don't know how long this war will last, the 106 divisions stipulated in the 1912 Army case seem to be more than enough, but it is based on the premise that the enemy strength on the opposite side will remain unchanged and our army will always win and be undefeated." If nothing else, according to the history of that time and space, by the beginning of 1916, the Entente bloc would have 365 divisions and a total army of 18 million men, while the Central European power bloc opposite would have only 286 divisions and a total army of only 9 million men - only half the number of the other side. In order to change the outcome of this world war and let the Allies win the most victory, it is necessary to make up for the disadvantage in military strength as soon as possible on the premise that the United States entered the war more than two years ahead of schedule. With the overall industrial strength of the East Asian Alliance, the number of divisions that can support it should be no less than 200, and the total number of troops should be more than 7 million, and I hope to achieve this goal before 1916, so I feel that it is a little inappropriate for the navy to take away so much budget at once. Since the opening of the land bridge is fundamental to the victory of the war, we should not abandon the basics and give priority to the expansion of the army, but instead create such a large table of wine and food for the navy......"

The car stopped in front of a zebra crossing, and the traffic light at the intersection had just turned from green to red.

Whether he disdains to trample on traffic rules by relying on power, or just wants to stop and smoke a cigarette, in short, His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff's Wang Hu car is indeed honestly lying in front of the row of black and white interlaced lines like piano keys at this time.

"Where are you going to use those two hundred divisions?"

Liu Bailiang didn't light a cigarette, but just took out a small copper iron box and took out a mint candy in his mouth.

"In the battlefield against Russia, we can only support a maximum of 60 divisions to expedition to the Urals, and in the South Seas, 36 divisions are enough to pacify the South Seas and India, 16 divisions are enough to pacify Australia, and 10 divisions are enough to defend the East China Sea with Hawaii as the core, plus the troops required for the local garrison and rotation, and the preparation of 150 divisions is also over, so how can we use 200 divisions. Especially in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, sea supremacy is the key to victory, and if there is no guarantee of sea power, can the army still swim through? ”
