Chapter 167: Recruit Training Completed
In three days, Locke recruited 6,000 men!
Although 6,000 people does not seem to be a lot, it is definitely a very big addition for the current Senna army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The current Senna Army, the second division, is used to defend the city, and it will hardly follow Locke out to fight, so they are not in Locke's plan.
Eliminate the second division, then there are only a few hundred armored troops left, plus the two ranger units of the first division, and the two ranger units add up to seven thousand!
That's all the soldiers that Locke can use now!
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and many times even if Locke has some ideas, he is suffering from too few soldiers on hand to implement them.
Originally, there were few soldiers, and if he still divided his troops to do other things, then the Senna army was probably not far from extinction, so Locke's fighting style has always been extremely safe!
He can't afford to fail, so he doesn't dare to take risks!
Now there are 6,000 more people, if Locke can train them before the beginning of spring and equip them with advanced weapons and equipment, then the current Senna army's combat effectiveness will at least double!
If there are more people, the combat power will also increase geometrically, which is not a simple math problem like one plus one!
For example, the number of Senna troops is too small now, resulting in a single unit, in addition to armored troops and three helicopters, Locke can only use those rangers, and occasionally some battles can use those mortars, but the effect is not very large.
But if there were more of these people, Locke would be able to increase the number of armored troops and helicopters, so that the combat effectiveness of the Senna army would grow very quickly.
And with so many more people, Locke can also add an artillery team to the first division!
Don't underestimate an artillery team, the deterrent power and power of artillery in this era are extraordinary, and a round of artillery bombardment is enough to destroy the morale of the soldiers of the hostile army!
In other words, the more complete the Senna Army's troops, the more their combat effectiveness will increase, and Locke now has an arms system, and the ammunition value is sufficient, so he wants to have these weapons and equipment!
As long as there is someone, he will be able to equip you!
"In my opinion, war, only aircraft and artillery, is the king!"
As he spoke, Locke had already made up his mind how to distribute the six thousand.
And after recruiting 6,000 people, Locke also stopped recruiting!
Although he can continue to recruit troops, and it is no problem to recruit 10,000 people in the future, but the city of Senna has this population now, if he recruits all adult men into the army, then wouldn't the city of Senna be prosperous and the yang will decline?
A city must have a certain number of men, otherwise those women's families will really not survive.
Ahem, don't think crooked, some heavy work always needs a man to do it!
It was precisely because of this that Locke stopped recruiting because he considered this, which also made many people who didn't have time to sign up sigh for a while!
Now that the recruits have arrived, the next step is to assign them to the various units!
However, before being assigned, Locke still chose to let them go through intensive recruit training first.
Recruit training is not difficult, but it is not simple, he trains a person's perseverance and endurance, which is a key link to make these recruits truly called soldiers!
Locke's training methods are also based on modern army training methods, all kinds of physical training, firearms training, and tactical training, which are the basis for soldiers to fight in the future, no matter which unit they are assigned to, they are inseparable from the above.
And Locke's training method is also very special, he doesn't need to use an instructor to lead a group of recruits to train, he directly asks the veterans of the Senna Army to train with these recruits!
One-on-one training, one-on-one guidance, the treatment is so good, of course, the recruits are bullied by the veterans, which is also inevitable!
Ten days, Locke gave ten days to recruit this group of recruits, and ten days of high-intensity training was enough for them to transform into a qualified warrior!
Ten days passed quickly, and after the soldiers had completed their recruit training, it was time for the snow to melt in the spring!
The snow and ice are starting to melt and the weather is starting to get warmer, which means that war is coming, so Locke must also speed up his pace and train this group of recruits!
As long as this group of recruits is trained, then Locke will have enough chips to deal with the forces of all sides, let alone a hobbit kingdom at that time, even if the hobbit kingdom pulls up the kingdoms around him that are eyeing Holman together, Locke is sure to beat them to the ground!
Ten days of recruit training had passed, and Locke had begun to assign them to various units!
Now there are still nine million weapons in Locke's arms system, which is a large amount, and Locke has been waiting for this time to expand the Senna army!
And during this time, Locke was just able to exchange for two more helicopters!
Helicopters can be redeemed for one every ten days, Locke redeemed one at the end of Boposa's wedding, and now one at the end of recruit training.
He still chose the Apache gunship with super attack power, although it can only carry two people, and the price is a little more expensive than other helicopters, but his unparalleled attack power is exactly what Locke is after!
With the addition of these two Apache gunships, the Senna now has five helicopters, and Locke can start thinking about forming a small air force.
However, helicopters are a money-burning master for Locke, because of the super attack power of those helicopters, so the speed at which they consume munitions is also unparalleled!
Locke of the helicopter unit doesn't need to worry about personnel now, because he has never stopped training personnel to fly helicopters, and now there are no less than thirty people among his cronies who can fly helicopters, just five helicopters, and they can definitely handle it!
The problem of helicopters is solved, and the next thing is the expansion of the armored forces!
The armored force is the main expansion object of Locke, and the armored force composed of ten main battle tanks and five armored vehicles is simply not able to meet Locke's needs.
So Locke has now chosen to expand, that is, to directly expand its scale many times over!
On the battlefield, the armored forces are definitely the most awesome existence, even no less than the same number of air force units!
