Chapter Forty-Three: The Huge Army

After returning from the shipyard, Huo Shan immediately fell into a busy job again! Now, in the entire Huo Jiajun, there are too few government talents who can satisfy him, so many things are taken care of by himself!

After all, Huo Jiajun is still in a difficult entrepreneurial period, and the slightest mistake may make the good situation in front of him go down the drain!

Of course, as the number of troops of the navy and the army continues to increase, and the territory occupied is getting bigger and bigger, Huo Shan's workload is becoming more and more amazing! Now, he rarely goes to the army officer academy that is close at hand, and he really has no time!

Ping'er looked at the young master's face, which had lost a lot of weight, and felt uncomfortable for a while, and her eyes became a little red.

"What's wrong?" Huo Shan put down the pencil in his hand, and just saw the little girl who came in with tea, with a somewhat weeping face.

"Young Master, why are you so busy, you have lost a lot of weight this month!" Ping'er stretched out her little hand to deceive Frost Saixue, stroked the young master's cheekbones in distress, and sobbed softly.

Hearing her words, Huo Shan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and couldn't help but stretch out his hands at the moment, and hugged the little girl's slender body tightly in his arms! Since crossing into this world, there are only two women who really care about him, his mother and the little girl in front of him, so the two of them occupy the highest status in his heart.

"Ping'er, don't worry! The young master is very strong!There will be no problem!" As he spoke, Huo Shan hammered two punches on his chest that had little flesh, and then raised his slender arm and made a non-standard bodybuilding move, but unfortunately his body was still in the development stage, and he didn't show any effect!

However, his funny action made the little girl couldn't help but burst into laughter, covered her small mouth, and slapped him a few times with her right hand!

"Young master, you must pay attention to your body in the future, you can't be so tired anymore!" At this time, the little girl spoke coquettishly to her young master.

"Yes, the young master will definitely listen to Ping'er!" Huo Shan agreed with a smile in his heart.

"The young master of the chicken soup and ginseng tea that Ping'er will make in the future must drink them all, and you are not allowed to give Huo Lei's big belly!" the little girl continued with her little white fingers.

"Yes, the young master has drunk them all!" Huo Shan has a headache now, every time the little girl brings over a lot of nutritious products such as chicken soup, ginseng tea, bird's nest, etc., although he has never enjoyed this kind of emperor-like treatment before, he has also eaten it a few times with a mouth full of oil! But now that Young Master Huo is just a little fart who is less than seven years old, how can he eat so much in a while! Therefore, he didn't want to waste good things, and finally distributed all these supplements to the internal guards on duty! Of course, since he was a child, Huo Lei, who had a large amount of food, ate the most. This made the little girl very dissatisfied, but she prepared it for the young master.

"Well, the young master will find time to play with me in the future, Ping'er hasn't gone to the backyard to fish with the young master for a long time!"

"Yes, yes!

"Also, young master......!"

"Young Master!!" Just as the two of them kissed me, Huo Shi suddenly stood outside the door and shouted, and then strode in. However, the situation in the house made him a little dumbfounded for a moment.

In the case of outsiders, the little girl is no longer tired of being in the young master's arms, so she ran away with a red face at the moment!

"Won't you knock on the door first when you come in?" Young Master Huo rolled his eyes, hating this reckless guy so much!

"Hey!" "Hey, hey, hey......!" disturbed the young master's good deeds, Huo Shi couldn't help but touch his head a little embarrassed, and was stunned for a while.

"Tell me!what's the matter?" Huo Shan asked angrily.

"Young master, that's right, this month our 6th to 10th divisions have been equipped! However, we lack shore defense artillery on various islands in the South Seas, so all the newly produced large-caliber heavy artillery has been transported there, so these five divisions do not have a heavy artillery regiment directly under them! In addition, our 19th Regiment in Laos, Qin Shou Shan, has occupied the entire territory of Laos and defeated the 12,000 Thai troops there! In addition, thanks to the detailed military plan and secret layout of our original military plan, and the fact that Laos is located in the Indochina Peninsula and has a small population, it did not attract the attention of the British, French and Qing Dynasty! In addition, according to the military plan formulated by the young master at the beginning, we have completed all the military layouts. Among them, the 11th Regiment Sun Changshan was stationed in Jiangxi, the 12th Regiment Li Chengliang was stationed in Hunan, the 13th Regiment Huo Donghai was stationed in Hubei, the 14th Regiment Guan Ping was stationed in Sichuan, the 15th Regiment Kang Jianguo was stationed in North Korea, the 16th Regiment Zhao Hengshan was stationed in Jiangsu, the 17th Regiment Huo Haisheng was stationed in Anhui, the 18th Regiment Liu Wenhui was stationed in Henan, the 19th Regiment Qin Shoushan was stationed in Laos, the 20th Regiment Liang Zhanshan was stationed in Sumatra, the 21st Regiment Huo Yanguang was stationed in Shandong, the 22nd Regiment Murong Yan was stationed in Shanxi, the 23rd Regiment was stationed in Shaanxi, the 24th Regiment Sima Nanfang was stationed in Gansu, the 25th Regiment was stationed in the Yukon Territory of Canada, and the 26th Regiment Changyou was stationed in Myanmar, Liu Yongquan of the 27th Regiment was stationed in Liaoning, Qiu Zhifan of the 28th Regiment was stationed in Jilin, and Luo Zhongbu of the 29th Regiment was stationed in Rehe (of course, there were no four provinces in Saibei at this time, but Huoshan in order to increase the thickness of the army here and strengthen management at the same time, according to the Republic of China, these four provinces were delineated on the map of Inner Mongolia of Huojia Army), the 30th Regiment Gao Yongxi was stationed in Heilongjiang, the 31st Regiment was stationed in Chahar, the 32nd Regiment Liang Hong Chūn was stationed in Suiyuan, the 33rd Regiment Qiu Zihe was stationed in Ningxia, the 34th Regiment Xu Zhaoqi was stationed in Xīn Jiāng, the 35th Regiment Wu Songsen was stationed in Xīzàng, and the 36th Regiment was stationed in Outer Mongolia, the 37th Regiment of the Shi Wen Chrome Division was stationed on Medan Island, the 38th Regiment of Ye Xiannian was stationed on Luzon Island, the 39th Regiment of Zhang Zhe was stationed on the Maluku Islands, the 40th Regiment of Liu Lianfang was stationed in Nusa Tenggara Islands, the 41st Regiment of Chen Bohan was stationed in Thailand, the 42nd Regiment was stationed on the island of New Guinea, the 43rd Regiment of Liu Gusheng was stationed in Palawan, and the 44th Regiment was stationed in Malaysia! In addition, the Zhōngyāngjǐng Wei 1st Division was stationed in Taiwan, and the Jǐng Wei 2nd Division was stationed in Hainan, and the above was the whole situation of our garrison! At the same time, in order to avoid accidents, we did not have troops stationed in Zhili Province of the Qing Dynasty or Java Island in the Netherlands. Therefore, not counting the local reserve units in various localities, we have now officially organized 12 division-level units with 18,640 men equipped with rifles, machine guns, mortars, infantry guns, and heavy artillery! Thirty-four regimental-level troops of 5,000 men equipped with all army equipment except heavy artillery! In addition to the three special forces directly under the command of the War Department! Now the total number of our army has reached 400,000! In the future, the military base in Taiwan will mainly train non-commissioned officers and senior officers, as well as artillery, logistical baggage troops, medical units, and other technical arms! The training of ordinary infantry will be handed over to the units themselves!"

"This is the establishment and garrison of each unit!"

took the document in Huo Shi's hand, looked at it roughly, and put it on the table in front of him!

Huo Shan rubbed his temples on both sides with a headache, the size of the army is already very large, but compared to the current land of China, it is still not enough! But the cost of standing so many troops is too great, and the military expenditure of the army alone has already accounted for more than two-thirds of the total income of all the industries of the Huo family. If it weren't for the fact that the same astronomical number of troops had captured in the war, I'm afraid Fauber would have refused to allocate any more funds for the army a long time ago!

Therefore, from now on, in addition to the coastal and border provinces and troops stationed abroad, I will not add new divisions, but will only form lightly armed garrison regiments equipped with rifles and grenades, that is to say, in the future, there will only be 15 regiments, 16 regiments, 19 regiments, 20 regiments, 21 regiments, 25 regiments, 26 regiments, 27 regiments, 30 regiments, 34 regiments, 35 regiments, 36 regiments, 37 regiments, 38 regiments, 39 regiments, 40 regiments, 41 regiments, forty-second regiments, The 43rd Regiment and the 44th Regiment will continue to be expanded into divisional units! Then, together with the 12 divisions that we have now formed, there will be a total of 32 divisions, 12 regiments, and 3 special forces, with a total number of 660,000 army units! Moreover, if the country does not face the threat of war, then the army will maintain this size and will not expand again until the country's finances improve!"

"Yes, young master! I understand!" Huo Shi has been the chief of staff for nearly a year, and he has read all the military books prepared by Huo Shan, and he has made great progress in terms of military quality and operational command. Now he is a qualified chief of the army's general staff! Moreover, Huo Shan's strategy of controlling the number of troops, increasing the training of technical officers and men, and enhancing the army's combat capability has also been accepted by him.

Seeing his appearance, Huo Shan couldn't help but nod with relief, the army he really wanted had always been German-style jīng rui, not cattle like the Russian Empire.

Thank you for the evaluation vote of "Argentine Style", it really surprised the Easterners, thank you! I will work harder, and keep writing! In addition, the evaluation of the "Friendship Sky Blue God and Demon" about the speed of artillery is very pertinent, and the Easterners have checked the information and made modifications! Thank you here! I hope to continue to pay attention to the "Far Eastern Empire" of the Easterners in the future, and put forward your opinions in time! Thank you again!
