Wei Chi Shouchou submitted the documents, which were all classified documents about the details of the personnel and weapons dispensed by the Shangri-La Division, as well as the summary of the progress and training situation so far, and the proposed camp.

The 1st Shangri-La Garrison Division was to be established in imitation of the German Imperial Military System, but it was different, and at the same time referred to the French and British Army establishments, drawing on the strengths of several parties, it was simply the 44 system.

The division headquarters consists of three "foot dragoon regiments", one division belongs to the artillery regiment, and one division belongs to the baggage barracks and the division belongs to the guard battalion.

A "foot dragoon regiment" has an establishment of 1,600 people, and consists of three battalions, each with a strength of 500 people, and the dragoon regiment has an artillery battalion and a guard company.

Each battalion has three companies, and another battalion is a fire company, a guard platoon, each company has 160 people, and there are 3 platoons, and there is also a fire reinforcement platoon and a guard squad, each platoon has 2 officers, two non-commissioned officers, 36 soldiers, and each platoon has four squads, and each squad has 9 soldiers.

This method of compiling is very scientific, and it takes into account the advantages of the army of the European continent, which can be said to be a masterpiece.

First of all, each "foot dragoon regiment" was a separate combat unit, a tradition that came from the Imperial Army of Great Britain.

The standing force of the Imperial Army of Great Britain is maintained at about 23~250,000, which is small in number and small in strength compared to the European army powers, and the large establishment at the division and brigade level is mostly used in wars, so it is traditionally organized as a regiment to carry out combat missions.

For example, the Prince of Wales Royal Regiment, the London Regiment, the Cambrien Volunteer Regiment, the Royal Musket Regiment, etc., are all regimental establishments.

Secondly, what is the meaning of the "foot dragoon regiment"?

Dragoons are a multi-purpose unit under the command of the French Emperor Napoleon, who once crossed the European continent, and made great achievements for the French Empire, which can be called "all-rounders".

In addition to the usual tasks of light and heavy cavalry, such as pursuit, reconnaissance, covering lines of communication, and storming enemy formations, the biggest highlight of the dragoons is to use dragoons to dismount and fight.

Combining the mobility of the cavalry and the firepower of the infantry, it has a bit of a motorized infantry flavor.

In 1805, the French army organized a number of "foot dragoon" regiments, with the aim of crossing the sea and landing in Britain to use the captured British horses to reduce the logistical burden, which is the origin of the "foot dragoon regiment".

Draw your eyes back to Australia

The "Foot Dragoon Regiment" is very suitable for the current situation in the Red River Valley, in the tropical rainforest climate of Shangri-La Island, the soldiers can only fight on foot, and the main combat mission is to hold the key towns at the east and west ends, waiting for the opportunity to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy.

Once the war is over, it is necessary for the division to return to the Australian mainland to carry out combat missions, given the vast land and abundant horse resources of the Australian continent, mounted infantry is the best choice.

With fast movement speed, large range, strong offensive firepower and strong defensive ability, it is worthy of the title of all-rounder of dragoons.

As for the origin of the 44 establishment, it is a product of reference to the establishment of the Continental Army of Russia and Germany, plus Li Fushou's obsession with strengthening firepower.

It can't be said to be the best, but it is in line with the current situation in the Red River Valley.

After discussing related issues for a long time, Li Fushou signed the document with satisfaction, which means that the Shangri-La First Garrison Division under construction has obtained a birth permit and is about to be displayed in front of the world.

"Brother Shou, the bill on the establishment of the Queensland National Guard will be passed in the state parliament in the near future, and you still have to hurry up the preparations in your hands, after all, the Dutch are eyeing the side, and time waits for no one."

Li Fushou put down the document in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then sat back comfortably and said; "Judging from all the factors, the Dutch are very impatient, today is November 9th, and the 1st Shangri-La Garrison Division must be established before mid-January 1882, and it can only be advanced, not postponed."

"The humble post understands that it can only be postponed in advance, and the 1st Shangri-La Garrison Division is confident that it will complete the task ahead of schedule." Wei Chi Shouclum's answer was very resolute.

"Okay, this matter is the top priority at present, all aspects of resources are tilted, officer allocation, weapons and equipment, clothing logistics and training facilities must all be prioritized, I have already explained this to Fat Lao Chun, he has patted his chest to me, you can just let it go."

"On behalf of the officers and men of the 1st Shangri-La Garrison Division, I would like to thank the Earl for his sincere concern, and I am very honored."

"It's what should be done, so you don't have to worry about it." Li Fushou waved his hand lightly, thought about it for a while and said; "The formation of the new army must pay special attention to discipline, order and prohibit, and must not slack off, think of the fierce and heroic wind of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the iron-blooded military discipline inherited from the fine willow battalion should be the soul of the army, and the soldiers will be happy when they hear the battle, and they will move forward bravely on the battlefield, which is indispensable!"

"We must keep in mind the implementation of the iron-blooded military law as the core of army building, make great efforts to rectify it, and dare not violate it in the slightest."

"This matter should be the first priority for the construction of the army, cut off!"

"Humble duty understands."

Seeing that the Earl was in a good mood, Wei Chi Shouchou hesitated and took out another report from his pocket, and presented it with respectful hands; "Lord Earl, there is a reluctance to be humble......"

"Oh......"

Li Fushou raised his eyebrows, took the report and looked at it, it turned out to be a report on the application for equipping the new "Miss Australia" artillery.

Wei Chi Shouclumsy did not dare to open his mouth, and only requested 24 "Miss Australia" in the divisional artillery regiment, and the remaining 48 guns were all imported French-made 95-mm field howitzers.

The last time I saw Miss Australia's ferocious firepower in the Deep Blue Alchemy Workshop, it left a very deep impression on Wei Chi Shouchuang's heart, it can be said that he thinks about it day and night, dreams of it, and desires it in his heart.

He knew that the small-scale trial production of artillery was expensive, and he was completely unsure about the report when he made a report.

Seeing that the Earl looked at the report without squeaking, Wei Chi Shou explained with anxiety; "Lord Earl, in the battle of Shangri-La Island, our army is mainly defensive, looking for opportunities to wait for opportunities to counterattack, so Miss Australia's obesity problem is completely acceptable to our division, and it is mainly used in fortress defense operations, and we are ready to deploy most of the heavy firepower in Jayapura Harbor as a defensive focus to surprise the enemy."

"Okay, I'll approve it." Li Fushou nodded dryly, picked up the pen and signed the document in agreement.

Preparations have been made for a small batch of trial production to equip naval ships, and once a naval war breaks out, Miss Australia's secret will definitely not be kept.

That being the case, it is not a big problem to produce more for the army units.

The more you produce, the thinner the cost can be, and relatively speaking, this price can be affordable.

In this way, it is necessary to import some more 95 mm shells from France, and Miss Australia's fierce artillery fire is completely the effect of consuming a large number of shells.

Thinking that each shell is worth more than two pounds, the life of each barrel is about 400~500 rounds, and replacing a barrel is more than 620 pounds, if you multiply this number by 70 guns plus spare barrels, Li Fushou feels a faint heartache, where is this war, it is completely money!

Li Fushou found another mistake in decision-making, that is, he blindly pursued superior performance, while ignoring the expensive cost of French artillery and the price of shells, which were not cost-effective.

The same 95 mm caliber field cannon, the legal system is three times more expensive than the German Krupp company, the most important component of which is the artillery steel pipe, a French gun barrel costs 620 pounds, a German 95 mm gun barrel only costs 276 pounds, and the price of shells is also much cheaper, almost about 30% cheaper.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like anything, but if the war drags on for a long time, the extra money can be piled up.

This is caused by inexperience, and in the future, it should also focus on German-made weapons, especially the introduction of guns, ammunition and artillery production lines, and the German Krupp company is a good choice.

And not because the weapons produced by the German company Krupp are the most advanced, but because of the high cost performance.

Well, spending money is not something for the military to think about.

Things went surprisingly well, which made Wei Chi Shou clumsy overjoyed, his chest was filled with a happy happiness, and he quickly stood up and thanked him repeatedly, thanking the Earl for his grace.

With this batch of firepower in his hands, he is confident that he will not fall behind against any strong team in Europe.

Thanks to the German-style militia training system that has been adhered to over many years in the Red River Valley, the quality of the officers and men recruited is generally high, and it is easy to transform it into a strong army after intensive military training.

In addition, the advanced infantry weapons and equipment that are not inferior to those of the infantry will test the commander's ability to make decisions on the spot.

"Miss Australia" is the biggest killer feature, bringing more than a surprise to the enemy, but extreme fright.

Wei Chi Shou rubbed his hands beautifully, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile, not to mention the joy.

Li Fushou said; "Brother Shou, there is one thing I want to remind you, the army's artillery orders must be ranked behind the coast guard, according to the current production capacity of the Deep Blue Alchemy Workshop, it is estimated that you will not be able to get the first four guns until the end of January at the earliest, 4~5 guns can be arranged in February, and all 24 new artillery equipment of the artillery regiment can be obtained in May, but it may not be able to catch up with the battle process, but the selected artillery group can be trained first, waiting for the equipment to be in place, You can immediately exert your combat effectiveness. ”

"The Earl is very gracious, and he does not dare to ask for more, and the artillery that has been equipped in advance will all be deployed in the port of Jayapura on the west coast, and we are confident that we will give the Dutch a head-on blow."

"Okay, then I'll wait for news of your victory."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, even if the 6,000 officers and soldiers of the 1st Shangri-La Garrison Division are broken to pieces and stained with blood, they will never let the enemy occupy an inch of my land.

In the face of Wei Chi's clumsy and sonorous oath, Li Fushou was solemn and raised his hand to return a military salute; "Up and down as one, its benefits and gold, you and my brothers hand in hand through this treacherous current, there will be a paradise in front of the beautiful scenery, then drink the celebration wine, wouldn't it be happy!"

"I look forward to this day." Wei Chi Shou replied solemnly.

Watching Wei Chi Shouclum's spirited departure, it ignited the boiling blood in Mo Rufeng's heart, that kind of golden iron horse, the military life of birth and death is every man's heroic dream, and he can't suppress it.

He stood in the room in a daze, his mind filled with infinite waves.

Li Fushou didn't notice when he walked over, and still looked at the direction where Wei Chi Shou left without focus, as if he was stupid.

Li Fushou looked at him in surprise, and then looked at the direction in which Chi Shouzhuo left, and suddenly understood in his heart; This kid had a different mind.

Mo Rufeng is one of the only two people in the Jiangnan students, and only Nangong Yunfei can be compared.

In addition, I have traveled to Europe, broadened my international horizons, and after returning to the Red River Valley, I have been tempered in local towns and villages for more than a year, and I have worked in the secretariat for two years, and I have shown extraordinary ability in handling government affairs.

The war that is about to be faced at the moment is not a good opportunity to exercise, whether it is a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around!

If you can cultivate a handsome talent, then you will really make a lot of money.

Li Fushou quietly returned to the rosewood desk and sat down, catching a glimpse of the document that had just annoyed him.

This is an internal report on the introduction of financial consolidation bills in New South Wales and Victoria, which are aimed at Huitong Bank, which has caused serious obstacles for Huitong Bank to operate in southern states.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Red River Valley was facing a strong enemy and had no time to take care of it, the two southern states are now acting more and more rampantly, and the hostility is obvious.

If you want to live a peaceful life, there will always be some people who will jump out and stir up the wind and rain.

Huitong Bank has now become the financial cornerstone supporting the agriculture, animal husbandry, commerce and industry industries in the Red River Valley, and it is also the money bag and lifeblood of the Earl of Queensland, and its importance cannot be overemphasized.

Now that New Wales is the first to strike, Victoria has followed suit, enacting a draconian financial bill that restricts the circulation of Huitong gold bills, and stabbed the Red River Valley in the stomach.

Don't say anything else

The purchase of southern wool alone is a great burden to spend entirely in pounds, and it is necessary to have sufficient financial reserves.

Li Fushou was thinking about it in his heart, and suddenly, Mo Rufeng turned around and came over to pay respects; "Master, Rufeng wants to put pen to paper, please fulfill the dream of a beautiful ideal garden on the R side, with similar ambitions and righteousness, anything can be told bluntly, no need to do this big gift."

"Master, I have figured it out, it is not my ambition to deal with these government affairs every day, only to join the military is my heart's wish, I hope my lord will fulfill it."

Li Fushou groaned and said; "Have you really figured it out?"

"If you are not talented, you are willing to share your worries for the master." Mo Rufeng answered categorically.

"Well, in that case, I have granted your wish." Li Fushou had already made a decision, his eyes stared at Mo Rufeng and said; "The third regiment of the 1st Division of the Shangri-La Garrison is still short of a regimental deputy, if you are interested, I will sign the letter of appointment later, you must go to the senior officer class that is being trained for further study on the same day, for a period of three months, and the class has been open for more than 20 days.

"Thank you for your success, Rufeng is grateful, and I will repay my liver and brain."

"Out of this door, Rufeng can't be called lord in the future, so as not to appear to be indistinguishable between public and private, and to call the earl."

"Yes." Mo Rufeng raised his head excitedly, and there were faint tears in his eyes; "Humble duty in the master's side experience, from Europe to the Red River Valley, in the past three years I have benefited a lot, although there is no name of master and apprentice, but there is a master and apprentice, the teacher is on top, please accept the peak worship."

After speaking, he respectfully kowtowed.

Li Fushou accepted it calmly, and in the past three years, the secretaries around him have been nurtured day and night, and there have been great changes in their world view and way of looking at problems.

At this time, a group of secretaries, Lei Xiao and others all rushed in, congratulating Mo Rufeng in unison.

Everybody knows;

The Earl accepted this gift calmly, which was to recognize Mo Rufeng's student status, which was different from the title of principal in a broad sense, but a real gift of master and apprentice.

With this hard relationship, Mo Rufeng's soaring is almost just around the corner, and a golden avenue has been paved, how can you not congratulate it?
