Chapter 1210 African Theater of Operations (Xie Meng's Leader's "Treat Xiaobai's Long Hair to the Waist" Reward)

Great Xia took the initiative to stop fighting, but no one could be happy.

Everyone knows that when Great Xia digests the newly added two million troops, it will be time to attack strongly and launch the war of unification of China.

Just thinking about it makes people feel chilled.

The time entered October, and Ouyang Shuo entered an unprecedentedly busy state.

Conquering the territory of Nuoda, receiving more than 2 million troops, and obtaining the allegiance of dozens of civil ministers and military generals, how to arrange this big game of chess has become the top priority in Ouyang Shuo's heart.

For several days, Ouyang Shuo either convened cabinet ministers to deliberate, or went to the military aircraft department or the Privy Council for a meeting, or consulted with the ministers alone, and was too busy to touch the ground.

It wasn't until October 5 that things came to light.

Ouyang Shuo first made the arrangement, it was the civil official group, because although Great Xia accepted the annexation of the three dynasties this time, what really increased was the land of the three provinces, and the arrangement was relatively simple.

He was relieved of his post as a scholar of the Imperial Court and officially appointed as the governor of southern Fujian.

Southern Fujian Province is adjacent to Jiangnan Province, and Ouyang Shuo put Xiongba in southern Fujian, naturally wanting to observe whether Xiongba would secretly affect Jiangnan Province after settling down.

This is Ouyang Shuo's first test of Xiongba.

Xun Yu, the former governor of southern Fujian, was transferred to the senior cabinet and served as a scholar of the senior cabinet. Entering the Senior Pavilion together, there are also former ministers of the former Shu Han Dynasty, and the strategist Fa Zheng.

However, Fa Zheng was appointed as a senior minister.

The lineup of the Senior Cabinet is already luxurious, and now it is too strong, in addition to Zhang Liang, a scholar of Zhangyin University, there are also scholars Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Xun Yu, and scholars Chen Gong, Fu Zhu and Fa Zheng.

Except for Zhang Liang, they were all top strategists during the Three Kingdoms period.

Ouyang Shuo is already thinking about how to give full play to the role of the Senior Cabinet and not let talents idle.

The post of governor of Jiangnan was held by Gao Ying, an old minister of the Sui Dynasty. Another former minister of the Sui Dynasty, Su Wei, served as the governor of Hedong Province, where the Great Jin Dynasty was located.

The double walls of the Great Sui have been reused.

He was relieved of his position as the governor of the Central Plains and transferred to the governor of southern Anhui, and the governor of the Central Plains was succeeded by Feng Prisoner.

The situation in the Central Plains Province has basically stabilized, and with the imperial court taking the southern Anhui Province, the Central Plains Province has re-established contact with the imperial court.

As an old minister of the Han Dynasty, it is a little inappropriate for the master father to stay in the Central Plains.

And arranging for the phoenix prisoner to take over as the governor of the Central Plains shows what kind of high hopes Ouyang Shuo has for the phoenix prisoner. The Central Plains Province is the central part of the Central Plains, and governing the Central Plains well, the phoenix prisoner is a great achievement.

In addition to the appointment and dismissal at the governor level, the appointment of other officials was mainly the responsibility of the cabinet, and the general principle was to let the officials of the Han, Jin, Sui and Shu countries, including the officials of the Jiangnan Province, serve in cross-posts and serve in different places.

It's a tedious task that can take months.

After delineating the candidates for the governor, Ouyang Shuo put aside the matter of the civil officials for the time being, and concentrated on preparing for the largest round of army reorganization in the history of Great Xia.

The breadth of the implications is dizzying.

It would take a lot of effort just to sort out the composition of the 2.29 million army.

In the Battle of Luoyang, 120,000 Han troops were captured, because Wei Qing was martyred, and there was no talent for generals.

In the battle to destroy the Qing Dynasty, 320,000 Qing troops were captured, and there was also no talent for generals.

In the battle of the Jiangnan border, 350,000 Ming troops were captured, and the god general Xu Da, the emperor-level military general Chang Yuchun, and Deng Yu and Feng Sheng were two king-level generals.

After Daming was defeated by the Wolf Warrior Army, Xu Da and other generals finally stopped resisting and surrendered to Great Xia.

Jiangnan Province was attached, and the overlord army was 300,000, and the god general Wu Qi.

The Great Jin Dynasty was annexed, and the Praetorian Guard and the rest of the Flame Army, totaling 340,000, were Guo Ziyi, Meng Tian, Ran Min, Wang Di and Zhou Bo.

The Great Sui Dynasty was attached, and 500,000 forbidden troops of the Great Sui were collected, and Yang Su, He Ruobi, Han Baohu, Yu Juluo and Yuwenshu were five generals.

The Shu Han Dynasty was annexed, and 360,000 Shu Han forbidden troops were collected, and Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei were three generals.

Naturally, it is impossible to leave all of the army of this size, and some of them must be reduced, otherwise, even with the finances of Great Xia, it will not be able to maintain such a huge military expenditure.

Moreover, among the 2.29 million troops, the Wangcheng Forbidden Army alone accounted for 1.65 million, accounting for 72%, covering the Han, Qing, Ming, Sui, and Shu five states, and it was inevitable to carry out large-scale reductions.

With the current situation of Great Xia, the reorganization of the army is no longer a simple military issue, let alone a numbers game, but a grand strategy related to the future of the dynasty.

It is necessary to determine in which direction the dynasty will expand and which enemies it will face before it can decide on a plan for the reorganization of the army.

All in all, it's demand-driven.

When it comes to what enemies Great Xia has, there can only be one word to describe it, and that is "the enemy of the whole world". In Asia alone, there are the Mongol Empire and the Romanov Empire in the north, the Persian Empire in the west, the Arab Empire in the west, the Mauryan Empire and the Gupta Dynasty in the southwest, and the Java Kingdom in Southeast Asia waiting to be pacified.

If you look at the world, it's even more lively.

In addition to the Indian Empire, the Maple Leaf, Dawson and Mayan dynasties on the American continent, the Gangdor, Spanish, Gaul, Germanic and Caesar dynasties on the European continent, and the Egyptian and Bantu dynasties on the African continent cover the entire world map.

If these dynasties can be merged together, even the three Great Summers will also be destroyed.

However, Ouyang Shuo is a person who is unwilling to accept the status quo, his head is harder than steel, and he is determined to smash the cake of the silver hand and the blue badge in order to establish a new order on the future Planet of Hope.

It is conceivable that the game world of the future will still be lively, if not more than before.

With so many enemies, of course, it was impossible to destroy them one by one, and what Ouyang Shuo wanted to destroy was the two major organizations of the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, which were the whole, not all the individuals in the organization.

The acceptance of the Xiongba family is based on such a strategic consideration.

The main breakthrough points, Ouyang Shuo temporarily circled three. One is the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty in the southwest, which is the most difficult point considering the existence of the Ashoka Dynasty.

The second was the Persian Empire to the west.

If the Persian Empire can be taken, it can deter the Arab Empire in the west, the Caesar Dynasty in the northwest, and the Romanov Dynasty in the southwest, which is quite convenient.

The third is the African continent.

In the next year or two, the African continent will be the focus of the world, and it is also the frontier of the Great Xia and the Silver Hand and the Blue Badge, which should not be missed.

Of the three breakthrough points, the African continent is the one that needs to be strengthened the most.

At present, Daxia is guarding the government in North Africa, and only two border guards of the West African Army and the East African Army are arranged, not to mention the future African war, which is to take the territory of East Africa, which cannot be done at present.

Thirteen countries in East Africa, accounting for 12% of Africa's total area, with a total of more than 10 million players.

If Great Xia wants to take East Africa, the army used must not be less than one million, and for this reason, the first step in this round of army reorganization is to aim at the African territory.

Ouyang Shuo decided to set up the fourth theater of the dynasty, the African Theater, and set up the African Theater Command to control the overall situation of the African war. The first goal is to win the East African plate within a year.

To this end, the imperial court decided to add two new group armies in the African theater, namely the Greedy Wolf Army and the North African Army, the Greedy Wolf Army is a regular field army, and the North African Army is subordinate to the border guard system.

As the territory of Great Xia continued to expand, Ouyang Shuo had to break the previous army number plan, and add another greedy wolf after Long Xiang, Hu Ben, Leopard Tao, Ying Yang and Flying Bear.

For this reason, Ouyang Shuo decided to cancel the planned number of the Guards for two reasons.

First, the Guards were originally planned to be the first pure firearms group army of the dynasty, but with Gaia's greatly increased military force value, the coexistence of firearms and cold weapons has become a general trend in the army.

In this way, the army group of pure firearms is very weak.

Second, the original plan to set up the Guards Army was also to strengthen the strength of Ouyang Shuo's directly subordinate corps, so as to avoid a weak internal and external strong army layout.

However, with the continuous expansion of the territory of Great Xia and the rapid expansion of the size of the army, especially the size of the border guards, no matter how much Ouyang Shuo strengthened the direct legions, he could not change the situation of being weak inside and strong outside.

The only way is to impose reasonable restrictions and restrictions on the theater of operations.

Moreover, with the continuous expansion of the territory, like the Praetorian Guard, it is not advisable to be like a firefighting brigade all day long, teleporting to the southwest battlefield for a while, and teleporting to the southeast battlefield for a while, which is costly and laborious.

Rather than this, it is better to strengthen the construction of the theater of operations, guard every strategic direction, and look forward to the Janissaries to save the field in every major battle in the province. In this way, it can also allow the theater to have a long-term plan.

Based on this, Ouyang Shuo decided to cancel the number of the Guards.

Anyway, before that, the only corps of the Guards had been broken down into field corps, and the number of the Guards was abolished, and the Privy Council only needed to perform the procedure once, without any losses.

With the cancellation of the number of the Guards, the three generals Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guoquan and Oda Nobunaga were also vacant, and they were all included in the scope of this army reorganization and unified placement.

The commander of the greedy wolf army, Ouyang Shuo circled Meng Tian, the commander of the former Great Jin Praetorian Guard.

In view of the fact that Meng Tian, Shi Dakai and Di Qing, the three commanders of the North African Theater, are not first-class fierce generals, the commanders of the North African Army, were circled by Ouyang Shuo as the fierce general of the Ming Dynasty Chang Yuchun, and thought it was supplemented.

Zhao Yun and Oda Nobunaga were arranged into the Greedy Wolf Army, and He Ruobi and Wang Yi were arranged into the North African Army.

As a result, there are three generals in the African theater who are familiar with firearms operations, Chang Yuchun, Oda Nobunaga, and Shi Dakai. This arrangement is also based on the judgment of a future global war.

The use of firearms by European and American dynasties is as pure as fire, and the African theater cannot suffer from it from the beginning.

In view of the fact that the African theater is far away from the center of the dynasty, many decisions need to be made independently and in real time by the theater command, and Ouyang Shuo also equipped the African theater with a theater commander and a theater military division.

The commander of the theater does not concurrently serve as the commander of the group army, and the military division is also a full-time military division.

The first military division of the African Theater was served by Pang Tong, a top strategist who stepped down from the post of senior minister, and as for the commander of the theater, it was even more unexpected by everyone.
