Chapter 1309: Live up to it
The Privy Council recommended that the Brasilia army of 550,000 be reduced to 500,000, and that the wounded and unqualified soldiers be eliminated, including those who were the only son of the family and other soldiers who were prioritized for the reduction of the Great Xia Army.
Excluding 50,000 people is already the limit.
In view of the unstable situation in the American Protectorate, if a large number of soldiers were to be dismissed at one time and thrown into the civilian sector, it was feared that it would form a huge security hazard and affect the governance of the local yamen.
At the same time, it will also give Leo and other local officials some unrealistic fantasies.
Therefore, this force must be restrained in the army.
Without military power, Ouyang Shuo was not afraid of what big waves Leo and others would make, and after a long time, they would put out those thoughts and take the initiative to integrate into the system of Great Xia.
Then select the most elite men from among them to replenish the battle damage in the American theater.
In order to conquer Panama City, both the North American Army and the Tiger Army had certain battle losses, especially the North American Army, which was the main force of the attack, suffered a lot of casualties and urgently needed to replenish the troops.
Recruiting some officers and men of the Brasilia Army into the army is also conducive to uniting the local people and improving the relationship between the army and the people, so as not to make the South American people feel that the Great Xia Army is used to spy on them.
In addition, as the garrison of the South American Army, this time there will also be some quota set aside for recruiting South American aliens who are interested in the army and attracting elite people.
This is another means of dividing and winning over local strangers.
According to the calculations of the Privy Council, after replenishing the battle losses, there would still be about 450,000 people left, and it was recommended that they be reorganized into two major group armies, one of which was not yet formed.
The two major group armies were not included in the regular army sequence of Great Xia.
Their mission is not to fight on the frontal battlefield of the Empire, but on the global battlefield, mainly to participate in some wars for the Empire that are inconvenient to participate in explicitly, which can be called Imperial mercenaries.
To this end, the Privy Council also gave specific recommendations.
At this stage, the fully formed mercenary First Army can be put into the battlefield of the Maple Leaf Dynasty; Throw the mercenary Second Army into the Mayan battlefield.
Such a north-south attack continued to contain the Dawson Dynasty and curb the rise of the Dawson Dynasty.
While containing the Dawson Dynasty, the American Theater and the Atlantic Fleet can also win in chaos, and take the opportunity to capture the Greater Antilles when the Dawson Dynasty is mired in civil strife.
This kills two birds with one stone.
With the situation of the Maple Leaf Dynasty and the Mayan Dynasty, as long as Great Xia hinted at it, they were afraid that they would immediately take the initiative to come up and accept this generating force.
There are two core employment rules.
First, mercenary dynasties are responsible for the logistical supply of mercenaries.
This is the meaning of the question.
It should be emphasized that the salaries of mercenary soldiers are still paid by the Empire, which is also an important part of the Empire's control over mercenaries.
For this reason, military pay is not paid to the soldiers, but to their designated family members. Family is another link in the Empire's containment of mercenaries, ensuring that mercenaries do not have other thoughts.
Of course, if a mercenary dies in battle, the empire will also issue a pension and will not treat them as outsiders. Soldiers make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and the empire will also give awards, but secretly.
The source of military pay is the high employment fee paid by the mercenary dynasty.
In order to motivate mercenary soldiers to fight bravely on the front line, the Privy Council suggested that the salary of mercenaries could be increased by another 50% on the basis of the Imperial Field Army.
The military salary in Daxia is already rich, and it has risen by 50%, which is enough to make people's hearts move.
Second, the mercenary dynasty needed to set aside a piece of land for Bactria to build an exclusive military base for mercenaries.
The military base is not only a fixed base for mercenaries, but also a key way for Bactria to exercise sovereignty and jurisdiction over mercenaries.
The rights enjoyed by military bases are the same as those enjoyed by the overseas territories of Great Xia.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the management of military bases, the Privy Council will participate in the construction of military bases and the preparation of base headquarters throughout the process to ensure controllability.
That's amazing.
Even after the war ended, Bactria would continue to exert influence over the dynasty through its military bases. It is no wonder that Ouyang Shuo readily agreed to the Privy Council's adaptation plan.
With these two points, coupled with the fact that in the process of mercenary reorganization, the Privy Council will replace a group of soldiers from the American theater into the mercenary army, which can basically ensure that this army is still in the hands of the Empire.
In this way, it not only relieves the security security of South America, but also wins a good card for the empire.
…………
After the approval of the Privy Council plan, it was in full swing.
The negotiations with the Maple Leaf Dynasty and the Mayan Dynasty were led by Honglu Temple, and it was Emperor Cheng of Honglu Temple who was appointed as the envoy of the empire.
Ouyang Shuo still recognizes Emperor Chen's ability, and is willing to give him a platform to display it.
As Ouyang Shuo expected, after Daxia slightly revealed his intention to provide mercenaries, both the Maple Leaf Dynasty, which was cornered, and the Mayan Dynasty, which had cold lips and teeth, were overjoyed.
The Maple Leaf Dynasty, in particular, is like seeing a savior.
After the Guy Dawson dynasty withdrew its troops from Colombia, whether it was out of dynastic strategy or out of anger in his heart, Jack ordered to intensify the attack on the Maple Leaf dynasty.
Jack even made a bold statement that he would conquer the Maple Leaf Dynasty and dominate North America within a month.
The front-line army seemed to feel the king's anger, and one by one they were like eating hormones, and they were advancing towards the core of the Maple Leaf Dynasty with high morale.
Even with the firearms support provided by Great Xia, the Maple Leaf Dynasty was crumbling.
At this time, any trace of external assistance is precious to the Maple Leaf Dynasty.
There was no resistance to the conditions put forward by Great Xia, and they accepted it all.
To speak in good conscience, the conditions put forward by Great Xia are not too much for the two major dynasties. Compared to the survival of the dynasty, a military base and a sum of money for hire are really nothing.
These mercenaries, however, are fighting for them.
Ouyang Shuo is also very humane, in addition to paying for the employment funds with gold coins, it can also be replaced by rare ores and other resources, or with mining rights.
All in all, it will not push the two dynasties into a corner.
By carrying out the settlement of employment capital business, Daxia Commercial Bank also took this opportunity to enter the financial markets of the two dynasties in a grand manner, and took a solid step towards a global commercial bank.
With the surging wave of industrialization, ore resources such as iron, copper, aluminum, cadmium, and nickel, as well as energy resources such as oil and natural gas, have risen to the level of imperial strategy.
In view of this, with the approval of Ouyang Shuo, the imperial court has recently set up a land and resources bureau to assume the responsibility of protecting and rationally utilizing natural resources such as land resources, mineral resources, energy resources, and marine resources.
With the wave of industrialization, the imperial structure also ushered in a new round of explosion, and in order to meet the needs of the empire's development, one institution after another was formed.
The functions of the empire are also more and more in line with that of the modern state.
The Land and Resources Department consists of the Department of Land, Oceanography, Geological Exploration, Mining Resources, and Energy, which have a clear division of labor and support the Empire's industrialization strategy.
Among the five major divisions, the work of the Geological Exploration Division is the easiest, and they do not need to go over mountains and mountains to sleep in the open in order to find a mine or an oil field like their ancestors.
Just according to the actual resource distribution data, according to the map.
China alone contains a variety of rich mineral and oil resources, which are enough to support the industrialization process of the empire at this stage.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo is by no means short-sighted.
He instructed the Land and Resources Department to focus on the exploitation of local resources in a protective and orderly manner, and appropriately increase the exploitation of overseas territories, such as Africa, southern Xinjiang, South America, and other places.
If necessary, imports from other dynasties may also be considered.
All in all, we must not dry up and fish, but take the road of sustainable development, after all, in Ouyang Shuo's strategic vision, the position of the game world will be very important for a long time in the future.
In addition to the establishment of the Land and Resources Bureau, under the personal attention of Ouyang Shuo, the empire also successively established [Huaxia Mining Group] and [Huaxia Energy Group] to shoulder the responsibility of mining and energy mining and utilization.
As soon as the two groups were formed, they were destined to be supergiants.
Throughout the empire, modern factories were built around mines and oil fields, and a complete set of supporting facilities were built to rough process the resources and then transport them to coastal cities.
Connecting the interior and the coast is the railway network that is being built intensively.
The focus of empire construction gradually shifted from agriculture to industry, and the imperial court and yamen at all levels also took advantage of preferential policies to encourage farmers and craftsmen to turn into workers and join the wave of industrialization.
More "talented" strangers will also get the opportunity to display their talents.
The whole empire was full of life, and the construction scene was in full swing, which was in stark contrast to the wars of other dynasties.
The demographic dividend of Great Xia is bursting out with unprecedented energy.
And this is the basis for Daxia to dominate the world.
Compared with Great Xia, although the territory of the Dawson Dynasty can be regarded as a song and dance, the population of the entire Dawson Dynasty is less than 100 million, and it cannot be compared with Great Xia at all.
The combination of vast territory, abundant resources, abundant population, stable native environment, and efficient internal political system will inevitably reshape a new empire.
In the process of industrialization, Bactria has gradually left other dynasties behind and is at the forefront of the world, and it is going faster and faster. This kind of Great Xia is even more terrifying than the Great Xia, which would only decide on the battlefield before.
If the global war continues like this, Great Xia is bound to become the final winner.
The time and place are favorable, and Ouyang Shuo has no reason to live up to it.
…………
July 1st, Jingshi.
The war in South America ended perfectly, and Ouyang Shuo had a heartfelt matter.
Next, the focus of the imperial army will be shifted from South America to the European battlefield. In order to cooperate with the imperial strategy, it is very necessary to disrupt the situation in the European theater.
First and foremost, it was to ensure that the Germanic dynasties were not destroyed.
For this reason, Ouyang Shuo instructed Bai Qi, "You can act!" ”
