Chapter 518: Army Reform (2)
After finishing the Celestial Empire, it was the turn of the little dwarf Modo's most important basic plates, the headquarters of the Steel City, the Gem Island, and the Underworld, which were relatively more important to him.
These three territories nominally belong to the orc empire, and the main lords are orcs who believe in the god of war, compared to the newly arrived Silia Ice Field, Modo's ability to control and the loyalty of the lords to him are obviously higher.
In order to protect his lair, the little dwarf made a large number of regular troops in one breath.
The navy, army, and air force are complete, and there are more than 10 kinds of various arms combined, and for the sake of these main forces in his hands, Mo Duo will do whatever it takes to make their equipment more sophisticated.
Among them, more than 70,000 adult males among the Harpys were almost all organized into the newly formed Air Force, and finally formed into seven divisions of the Air Force; except for the first division, which was stationed in the Iron City, and a regiment of the second division, which was stationed on Gem Island, the others were still stationed in the underworld.
Due to the good effect of the Harpy bombardment, it was also one of the main ways they fought in battle in Modo's plan, so for a long time, the Orc Lords could see these Harpies carrying stone-filled baskets and throwing stones down the sky.
Eagle people use this way to see a very earthy turtle, training the weight-bearing ability and the ability to throw.
In addition, when Master Modo adopted these Harpies, he said that the Harpys have twenty years, and the transition period of slave status can only obtain the status of civilians in advance if they perform well.
It's only been two years now, and they are lucky enough to have obtained the status of an incomparably glorious steel leader, so in order to repay Lord Modo's kindness, it is also very reasonable to set up a special brigade of kamikaze drones of thousands of people.
As for the forty-nine black dragons, they belong to Lord Modo's personal battle pets, and except for Modo's orders, other people can't command these masters at all.
There are also the thirty or so highland elves' horned eagle beast cavalry, which are now not organized into combat units at all, but have become the exclusive heralds and messengers of the lord's mansion.
It is said that with the World Tree, the speed at which the Highland Elf tribe domesticates the Horned Eagle Beast will increase dramatically, but Modo estimates that it will take a long time to form a certain scale......
Navy: Although the warships are still being built day and night in the shipyard, and their combat weapons and various artillery guns are still slowly being manufactured at the brood, the final fleet size has long been determined by Modo.
In the plan of the little gnomes, a total of three ocean-going fleets and one river squadron were to be formed, and each ocean-going fleet would have six large battleships called battleships and twenty medium-sized warships called destroyers.
On the surface, a fleet of this size is just an inconspicuous little guy compared to the major fleets of the Roland Empire, which often have hundreds of warships.
But Modo believed that the new warships in his fleet, made of iron teak, inlaid with special steel plates in important parts, and equipped with dozens of guns, would definitely make the navies of other countries who still used ballistas and gang-jumping tactics desperate in naval battles.
If there is a real fight, it is still unknown who will kill the old large warships of various countries, even if they are against the inland river fleet, those small warships called frigates......
Finally, there is the largest and most critical army unit, which has been given a new name by Lord Modo: the Iron Collar Field Army.
The former commander of the 1st Artillery Division, Lord Seiters the Sheep-headed Man, was promoted again, and he was appointed as the director of artillery by Lord Modo, with a total of five divisions and a brigade under his command.
Among them, the 1st and 2nd Artillery Divisions are stationed in the headquarters of the Steel City, a fortress artillery brigade has been stationed in Gem Island for a long time, and the remaining three divisions are all in the underground world.
It's a pity that the tragedy is that this total of no less than 60,000 troops, Lord Setters can now use the 100 artillery pieces in the battle of the Highland Forest, and even the planned fortress artillery brigade, the special large-caliber fortress guns, the current brood does not have the production capacity at all.
The hard-working artillery director, after the little dwarf Modo boasted about Haikou, was busy running around, training gunners at the same time, waiting all the time to fill the gap of thousands of artillery pieces under his command......
The cavalry unit is considered a shortcoming of the current Iron Collar Field Army, which is mainly due to the poor foundation of the Orc Empire, a country with tens of millions of people, and there was not even a regular knight order before.
When Master Modo planned to form a knight order, he was helpless to find that even a large-scale and stable source of mounts could not be guaranteed.
It took a lot of effort for Mo Duo to put together five cavalry divisions with mediocre combat strength, three of which were all composed of centaurs, and two were two heavy cavalry divisions formed with horses captured from battles over the years and the knights of the Temple of War as instructors.
These five cavalry divisions, all currently stationed outside the city of steel, are considered to be the most important mobile forces in the territory.
The final formation of infantry is the simplest thing, and the weapons and equipment they need can be easily solved in terms of the steel city and the underground world, the large and terrifying steel base.
In fact, the old gray dwarf Pluto is leading his most elite craftsmen to study how to pour artillery, and as long as they succeed, it may take only half a year to make up for all the missing artillery under the sheep-headed Setters.
In terms of soldiers, the profession of a soldier has always been a superior profession in the steel collar; excluding the old troops, it is only necessary to recruit about 300,000 recruits, and after the recruitment notice is posted, the number of people gathered at the major recruitment points will easily exceed one million.
Even among these gathered people, there were many humans mixed in with the crowd, some of them were the escorts of the major caravans, and some were human prisoners of war who were released and stayed in the Iron Collar to live in the Iron Collar.
Obviously, they think that the little dwarf Lord Modo is really a good lord......
Infantry divisions are mainly composed of a large number of musketeers, grenadiers, and hand-to-hand combat arms, and the reason why hand-to-hand combat is retained is that the current muskets cannot be equipped with bayonets at all; if we want to completely eliminate the cold weapons in the field army, we have to study the new musket and change the equipment.
In addition, each infantry division was equipped, with a small number of rangers for reconnaissance and ordering, and a small number of accompanying mages for fire support.
With such a large army, Modo planned to station three divisions on Gem Island, ten divisions in Steel City, and the remaining thirty-seven divisions in the vast underworld.
In the end, Mo Duo looked at the plan in his hand and thought: "With so many troops, no matter what happens, I will not be without the slightest resistance!"
