Chapter 162: Reorganization of the Wehrmacht
"According to the latest news from Sharon JAV TV, the head of the Sharon Empire, Hardy, has officially announced the unconditional surrender to the Republic of St. Prory......"
A few days later, a shocking piece of news quickly spread throughout the star sector, causing the leaders of the various warlords to shatter their glasses. No one could have imagined that the Sharon Empire, which far surpassed the weak Republic of St. Prory in both military strength and economic strength, would actually become a vassal state of St. Prory after a volinous mutiny.
What's even more puzzling is that the other three shili, who are the third shijie allies, chose to remain silent in this earth-shattering change. The heads of the three star districts of Grancy, New Miami and Ricktown did not make a single statement about this big event. It's just that, without exception, they all gave orders to the troops under their command to enter the first level of combat readiness.
There is no doubt that the Republic of St. Prory, which annexed the Sharon Star District, has become the third largest Shili after the Riyan Empire and the Restoration Alliance. As long as the Sharon Star District can be completely and smoothly digested, the Republic of St. Prory will have enough strength to join this battle for supremacy.
For a while, the shili pattern of the entire human shijie changed again. Countless secret missions began to shuttle between the major shili non-stop, or tentatively or secretly discerning, using all kinds of means to seek allies for their shili, so as to occupy a favorable situation in the upcoming new round of hegemony war.
To be honest, even Hao Yi himself didn't expect that the original action of seeking an alliance with the Sharon Empire would turn into an act of annexing the Sharon Empire. Perhaps, as he himself said, the goddess of shit luck visited him again.
For the next week, the administration of the Republic of St. Proprie was so busy that all the departments and government personnel were overwhelmed by the flood of things.
In order to digest the Sharon Star District as soon as possible, all departments of the Republic have almost reached the point of twenty-four hours of continuous rotation. Thankfully, however, with Bob and some of the Teutonic family's seasoned politicians doing their best, things weren't completely messed up.
A series of tasks, such as the reorganization of the armed forces, the merger of the various administrative departments of the two countries, the unification of the laws and regulations of the two countries, and the collection of various data, are proceeding in an orderly manner. In the Longtan base, the huge secret meeting room is often lit up all night.
As the de facto leader, Haoyi is almost exhausted by the endless tossing of all kinds of tedious things. Fortunately, in the major affairs of civil affairs, he only needs to formulate some major guidelines and policies with Bob and others, and he does not need to ask about the specific details. What worries him the most is how to rectify and merge the original various armed forces of the two countries.
In addition to the Third Corps of the former Imperial Army that rebelled on the battlefield, how to reorganize the other three elite corps of the former Sharon Empire, including the Imperial Guard, is the most headache for Haoyi. As Tong Zhong had told him before, almost most of these three armed forces were composed of officers and soldiers of the noble class of the Sharon Empire. How can these armed liliang be smoothly reorganized without touching the interests of these aristocratic officers and soldiers, so that Haoyi thought about it for two days and two nights without eating or drinking. Of course, Zuihou still thought of a strategy that worked.
To put it simply, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, it is necessary to effectively and smoothly change the original social system of the Sharon Empire.
"In addition to abolishing the privileges of the nobles of the former Sharon Empire, the original property funds of the major nobles were not forcibly confiscated by administrative means, etc. In a word, before the Sharon Empire officially announced its unconditional surrender, all the wealth in the hands of those nobles was considered legitimate! ”
This is Haoyi's main policy on the civil affairs reform of the Sharon Star District proposed by Bob and others. Haoyi knows that although the main body of the people in the Sharon Star District is hundreds of millions of commoners, the main wealth of society is still in the hands of those former imperial nobles.
If the wealth owned by those nobles is forcibly deprived of by administrative or even violent means, it will definitely exacerbate the social contradictions in the Sharon Star District and aggravate the chaos of the situation. And once the vested interests of their own family are touched, those noble officers and soldiers in the army will never sit idly by. If this is done, another mutiny may follow.
Abolishing the privileges of the aristocracy without touching their vested interests was the most effective and stable strategy Hao Yi could think of at the moment. If you want to digest the original aristocracy of the Sharon Empire, it is not a matter of one or two days, and you can only use the means of simmering slowly over a considerable period of time. Only in this way can we most effectively minimize the possibility of the contradictions being intensified and eliminate to the greatest extent the hidden dangers of instability hidden in the former imperial army.
After using this strategy to eliminate the hidden danger of mutiny, Hao Yi dared to order the reorganization of all the military liliang of the former imperial army.
His solution was to disrupt all the Imperial Army troops, including the Third Corps of the uprising, and to reorganize the former military liliang of St. Prory's to reorganize three new Republican Defense Corps.
Within these three Wehrmacht Corps, all the main senior commanders were held by senior generals of the former St. Prory Wehrmacht and part of the Third Corps of the Insurrection. The middle-level officers were the former Wehrmacht, the Third Corps of the Uprising, and some former imperial aristocratic officers with combat experience. The positions of commanders at the bottom of the front line were all held by civilian officers and non-commissioned officers of the former Wehrmacht and the Third Corps of the Uprising.
After the implementation of such a set of effective means, Haoyi finally successfully completed the work of reorganizing the military liliang of the two countries. After the reorganization, the Wehrmacht has three main corps.
The First Corps was reorganized on the basis of the former Wehrmacht, and has a space fleet composed of more than 1,000 battleships modified from giant beasts, and 20 army groups for close ground operations, with a strength of more than 5 million. The supreme commander of the Corps is Marshal Pei Zhimao. This corps is the true elite of the Wehrmacht and the most loyal.
The Second Corps was reorganized from the Third Corps of the former Imperial Army uprising and the former Imperial Guard. With a total strength of more than 4 million troops, it has a space fleet composed of nearly 1,000 battleships and 25 near-ground combat army groups. The supreme commander of the Corps was Marshal Tong Zhong. This corps is based in the Sharon Star District and is mainly responsible for stabilizing the former Sharon Empire, which is undergoing social reforms. Although their loyalty is slightly weaker than that of the First Corps, they will definitely not have some unexpected mutiny because of the instigation of some of the original imperial nobles who are not dead.
The Third Corps was reorganized on the basis of the original First and Second Corps of the Imperial Army. The 1st Corps of the former Imperial Army was heavily damaged by the Wehrmacht after invading the St. Prorystar Sector. In addition to the Space Fleet, which preserved most of its strength, the ground forces suffered heavy casualties under the overwhelming blows of the Wehrmacht. The Second Corps of the former Imperial Army was originally dragged down by the insect swarm on the planet Morya, and it also suffered heavy casualties. Later, after Ray arrived in Morya and successfully controlled all the swarms there, the embarrassed Second Corps escaped and accepted the official reorganization of the Wehrmacht.
The entire corps has more than 1,000 battleships of various types, and its strength is also the largest among the three corps, reaching more than 6 million. The commander of the corps was Field Marshal Scran, the former Imperial Guard. It is also the one with the highest instability among the three corps. Despite this, due to various reasons, the actual combat effectiveness of this corps is the weakest of the three corps, and it is also the one with the least fighting spirit.
After some careful consideration, Hao Yi still decided to drop the Third Corps to the St. Prory Star Zone. After all, with the first corps with the highest loyalty, those noble young master soldiers will naturally converge. After a period of running-in, the Third Corps will be able to form an effective combat effectiveness.
After constructing the general framework of the new national defense force, Hao Yi immediately turned his attention to the question of how to improve the combat effectiveness of the national defense force. Looking at the current Shili of all parties, almost all military liliang are from the original federal army, and they are similar in terms of equipment, establishment, and so on. Haoyi considered how to create a new type of army that not only has unique characteristics but also has good combat effectiveness.
When he saw the memorandum handed over by Guo Ling about the engagement between the Wehrmacht and the Imperial Army, Hao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
