Chapter 173: Cloud City Adaptation

Legion Commander, there are only 80,000 people in a legion, is it too little?" In the conference room, after listening to Liuyun's idea of the reorganization of the legion, Long Yun asked first.

"Actually, the Black Hawks are now following a line of elite soldiers. If it weren't for the issues of funding, equipment, and logistical supplies, I would mean that the Black Hawk Legion would be organized into a single army. Of course, in this case, our officials will become smaller and smaller, and the empire will give us less money. So I kept the title of Legion so that it would be easier to implement our elite plan. Liuyun explained with a smile.

"Through these two wars, everyone should have a new sense of quantity and quality. The million-strong army of Asman was finally defeated because of the loss of the general, and Joseph's army of 800,000 was also defeated by our harassment and destruction. I hope that everyone will abandon the idea that the more soldiers the better, and instead think about how to better use the power in their hands. I hope that in future wars, your troops will become an independent combat force, and that it will be composed of many units that can fight independently. No matter what happens on the battlefield, each squad platoon, and then able to complete its own combat mission. The Black Eagle Legion will completely break the situation of the interruption of command and the rout of the whole army. ”

"Commander, there are 30,000 cavalry divisions, and my infantry division is only 10,000 people, this seems to be a bit excessive, right? In the history of the emperor's ** team, there has never been such a thing! Could it be that when the siege of the city is fought, let the cavalry charge?" Liuyun's words landed, and Mo Ge stood up indignantly.

"Because I want to forge a sharp spear, an absolutely lethal striking force! And your infantry should be the hardest shield in my hand, so that the Black Eagle Legion can be invincible. Liuyun replied calmly.

When he pitched out the Legion's plan for reorganization, he had expected such a reaction from the officers.

"On the Daxing Mountain, you must have experienced the benefits of a completely new way of fighting -- sports warfare. And it can exert the power of sports warfare to the limit. At present, it seems that there are only cavalry. This branch of the armed forces has always played a decisive role in the frontal battlefield on the battlefield of the mainland, mainly because of its rapid mobility and powerful lethality, which greatly increased the suddenness and flexibility of the battle. I believe that under Anthony's leadership, the Black Hawk Cavalry Division will be a force that can influence the tide of battle. ”

"What if you need to attack the city?" said Mogo, still a little unrelenting.

"In those days of fighting in the occupied areas, everyone should understand that a strong army, in order to win the war, must rely on the support of the population. Again, I stress that our soldiers come from the population. We are not tools in the hands of the aristocracy, but a great wall of steel to protect the country and the people. I can tell you bluntly that in the future war, the Black Eagle Legion will never attack the city for the benefit of the nobles, and our eyes can no longer be confined to the gains and losses of one city and one place, but will annihilate the enemy's living force in a large number of operations. Defending the country does not have to defend the city, and with the support of the people of the empire, even if the enemy occupies a city, it is only a lonely city surrounded by us. cut off food and supplies. Blocking its reinforcements, it will have to get out of the city sooner or later to be beaten, why bother fighting the enemy to the death under the city?"

"I agree with the Legion Commander. Alexander took Liuyun's words, "I have carefully studied the history of the continental war, and I have also tried to find some laws of the continental war, but there has been no progress. The key point is that we ignore the role of the people in the war and emphasize the contrast between strength and weakness. For the first time, the battle in Daxing Mountain made me feel that the true power of war comes from the people. Once detonated, the trickle will merge into a river. The idea of abandoning the aristocracy and turning to the people is somewhat deviant, but it is necessary to grasp the pulse of the war and win the war. ”

"The basic direction of the construction of the Black Eagle Legion is to follow the line of elite soldiers, and the guiding ideology of strategy is to rely on the people. If you gather together, you will form an iron fist to strike at the enemy, and if you disperse, you will form several independent combat units to fight the enemy, and at the tactical level, you will destroy the enemy in mobile warfare! After the reorganization is over, you will have to organize your own troops to enter the training. I would like to remind you that the eagle is a calm, intelligent, brave and wild bird of prey, so your soldiers can be like bandits, but they must not be like sheep!"

Liuyun's last words marked the reorganization of the Black Eagle Independent Legion in Cloud City, and also marked the birth of a brand-new army. Meantime. Liuyun's last sentence also caused some negative effects. Although the discipline of the Black Eagle Independent Legion has always been very good under the constraints of various military regulations in Liuyun Land, there is still a strong banditry, but this banditry is more borne by the imperial nobles and other troops.

After the reorganization, the command of the Black Eagle Legion had a total of four leaders, namely Legion Leader Liuyun, Deputy Legion Commander Long Yun, Deputy Legion Commander Iverson, and Chief of Staff Alexander. The headquarters consists of a staff department and a logistics department. Long Yun was mainly responsible for the training of the Iron 123rd Division, and temporarily took charge of the logistics department, and Iverson was in charge of the Black Hawk Cavalry Division

Liuyun is in charge of the major affairs of the legion. At the same time, it also takes into account the training and management of the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade. After the reorganization of the Black Hawk Special Operations Brigade, it was expanded to 3,000 people. On the basis of the original Black Hawk Six Series Squadron and Sniper Squadron, a guard battalion and a reconnaissance battalion were added, which were composed of elites selected from the Black Hawks.

Iverson was in charge of the preparation of the Black Hawk Cavalry Division. The cavalry division, of which Anthony was the commander, had a strength of 30,000 men, divided into three arms: crossbow cavalry, light cavalry and heavy cavalry, with two regiments of each arm and 5,000 men each.

Long Yun was in charge of the three infantry divisions and the logistics department. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Iron Divisions were each expanded to 15,000 men, each with three infantry regiments, and each infantry regiment was added with a crossbow battalion. As a newly established department, the Logistics Department was mainly responsible for the logistics supply and equipment supply of the corps, and later gradually developed into an important weapons and equipment production organization under Liuyun.

Alexander was in charge of the military training and day-to-day management of the corps, and was also responsible for the construction of the general staff. And under his staff department, there is also a direct teaching group, as for the role, only he and Liuyun know, and it has not been announced to everyone for the time being.

Subsequently, Liuyun submitted a report on the reorganization of the Black Eagle Independent Regiment to the emperor, explaining to the military the staffing, replenishment of soldiers, adjustment and number of officers.

At the same time, he also put forward an important suggestion related to the imperial ** team, which once again set off a big wave in the already unstable officialdom of the imperial capital, and at the same time pushed himself to the cusp of the storm.
