Chapter 266, Building the Army, Angry Bear Legion

Gu Hang's current gift points are more than 17,000 points.

With such a number of gift points, Gu Hang can do a lot of things.

First of all, the first thing to do is to build the army.

At present, the total strength of the alliance's army is about 330,000 people, and there are 38 divisions and brigade-level units, which are divided into multiple group armies, deployed in different places and performing different tasks.

He calculated that according to the standard of imperial taxes, the total value of these thirty-eight divisions, when all of them were fully established, was about six million tax coins—this was the total value of men and equipment.

According to the previous statement, Gu Hang had already obtained permission to establish an astral army legion in the Angry Owl Star.

Even the establishment has come down.

No. 43.25.09.03 Corps.

This string of numbers is also quite interesting. 43 is the number of the Eastern Universe; 25 is the number of the Dragon Eagle Star Field; 09 is the number of the Pegasus region; 03 is the angry star.

Combined, this is the administrative number of the Raging Owl in the Imperial Administration.

As another example, the human home planet, the capital of the Empire, and the Holy Terra are, 01.01.01.01: Solar Celestial Domain, Solar Star Domain, Solar Sector, Holy Terra. The last number becomes 2, and it is the Casting World Mars, which is the headquarters of the Order of Mechanics, also known as Mars.

The Astral Army also likes to do this, and the new legion is given the number from which planet it is mainly recruited.

Of course, it will be very troublesome to call it like this, and it will be difficult to remember it if you have too much, and it is generally only used for internal documents. Gu Hang can choose his own name and report it, generally speaking, the Astral Army headquarters will not be entangled in this matter, and will allow it.

Gu Hang gave a very simple name: Raging Bear Legion.

There is a good chance that the name will be the same, which is normal. But it doesn't matter if the name is the same, there won't be a big problem if the number is good. Whether it is a request for supplies or an assignment, as long as it is an official order document, a unique number will be attached to ensure that there are no mistakes due to language differences, duplicate names, etc.

The total value of the astral army that Gu Hang was ordered to create should reach more than 2.5 million tax coins, which was the imperial tax of the angry owl for two years.

It stands to reason that the tax amount should be 10 million, and the other 7.5 million, according to Gu Hang's statement before he came here, will be paid by the star district government.

With a target of 2.5 million tax dollars worth of troops, and a total value of more than 6 million for the Alliance Army, Gu Hang would definitely not include all the troops in it.

Even if this astral army is controlled by him, the troops, from officers to legion commanders, can be assigned by Gu Hang, and can be stationed in the Angry Owl for a long time, the reason is to guard against the possible attack of the green-skinned orcs and ensure the stability of the Angry Owl......

But despite this, you have to be on guard. After all, this army still has to accept the unified command of the Imperial Astral Army, if it is really a paper order to send to fight somewhere, then it will go, otherwise it will not be able to disobey the order?

It's not without benefits.

The first is the tax deduction, and the second is ...... Or tax credits.

However, there are different tax deductions.

After the establishment of this army, it is one thing to offset the tax of 2.5 million on the spot, and in the future, whether it is the expansion of this army or the daily maintenance, there is no need for the alliance to pay.

If it can be expanded with permission, if the newly expanded troops are transported from the outside by the Ministry of War, it will be counted, and if it is recruited from the angry star, it will be a tax deduction;

Daily armament maintenance, such as equipment depreciation, ammunition replenishment, and personnel replenishment, is also paid for by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Astral Army.

Of course, it is practically impossible to transport troops and equipment from other worlds far away, and it is still necessary to be fed by the Raging Owl. And these things are all tax deductible.

In the end, a total of 2.5 million tax dollars of an army will have to pay 250,000 tax dollars a year for maintenance - provided that there is no big war. If you participate in a fierce war and there are a lot of losses in equipment and personnel, then the supplementary costs are calculated separately.

Economically, planning a part of the Alliance army to become the Astral Army-Raging Bear Legion is not a loss-making business in itself.

As for the extent to which the Angry Bear Legion can be under Gu Hang's command, that is an extra pure profit.

Gu Hang planned thirteen divisions and entered this legion.

They were the 3rd Slaughter Brigade, the 11th and 12th Infantry Divisions; 14 Infantry Division; 26-30 Infantry Divisions; 31 Airborne Division; 32-33 Infantry Division; 35 Mechanized Brigade.

The total strength is 140,000 troops, almost half the strength of the Union Army. But in fact, the number of key mechanized brigades put into it was not much, there was only one.

An infantry division had 12,000 men and cost only 200,000 tax dollars; The number of a fully staffed mechanical brigade is less than 9,000, but the cost has soared to 460,000 tax dollars.

In order to gather these thirteen divisions, Gu Hang basically dismantled and merged the group army that was used to recover the northern border before, and the central group army that was used to sweep away the three eastern provinces.

Thirteen divisions have been ordered to assemble and camp near the capital, Fuxing City, to wait for a review in two months' time when the Imperial Tax Collector arrives.

Thinking of this, Gu Hang scratched his head and felt that he had to further expand the army.

After the 'Raging Bear Legion' is eliminated, the number of troops under the Alliance Army sequence is a bit insufficient.

Gu Hang has a few plans next.

First of all, it is necessary to create the Eastern Army. This part of the army is ready-made, and it is a militia unit established by Yan Fangxu in the three eastern provinces after the sweep of the eastern provinces, and the total number is about 100,000.

Gu Hang plans to reorganize half of them into the 39-45 divisions on the spot, using the establishment of a garrison division, with 6,260 people in a division, and there is no need for even armored vehicles.

The reorganization of these seven garrison divisions is expected to be completed within a month, after all, there is no need to produce and configure too much new equipment. Artillery, trucks, individual equipment, there are quite a few ready-made stocks. As for the training of the troops, Gu Hang clicked on the military card system, and spent some gifts, and a hundred people wanted a little, which was not expensive.

After that, the other half was reorganized into a regular army and five divisions were formed. The 46th and 47th divisions used the formation of mechanized brigades, and the 48th-50th divisions used the formation of infantry divisions.

These five divisions will not be able to be done immediately. Although the training of the troops was fast, these five divisions had a large amount of equipment that needed to be produced additionally.

Assorted armored vehicles, tanks, fixed heavy explosive guns as company-level firepower...... At present, the stocks of the Military Logistics Department are seriously insufficient, and even a lot of them are owed.

Especially armored vehicles and tanks.

Currently, the Alliance's monthly production of Lion tanks reaches 34 units; Monthly production of armored vehicles reached 160 units.

These are the two pieces of equipment that are most stuck-up in the construction of the army at present. Not to mention the newly established troops, even if it is an old mechanical brigade, the full number of tanks in a brigade is theoretically fifty tanks, and it has not been replenished yet, except for the 1st Wind Extinguishing Brigade in the formation of an additional tank battalion to be fully organized, and the follow-up only plans to give priority to the 35th Brigade that will be incorporated into the Angry Bear Legion.

The remaining mechanized brigades generally have only eighteen tanks.

If he wants to really start a steel torrent, Gu Hang has to find a way to increase the output of tanks and armored vehicles.

And this thing is already on the way.

On the one hand, Weixingcheng has been working hard to expand production capacity; On the other hand, the production lines that continue to be built are spilling over to the surrounding provinces.

In addition to alleviating the production pressure of Weixing City, it is also necessary to drive the production level of other provinces, solve the employment problem, and give full play to the potential of human resources.

This is already being done.

In those places, a number of factories for heavy industry and military industry were also opened one after another.

For example, other regions of the central province have undertaken many individual equipment manufacturing plants and the manufacture of various engineering machines; The province of Ta Hang took over a plant for the production of vehicle parts, and began to set up its own automobile production plant on the spot, and the production line for armored vehicles was also put in place.

And the central and northern provinces are especially worth mentioning.

Originally, this was the least populous province in the Union's administrative division. However, after the northern border was recovered, a considerable part of the land and population were divided into the central and northern provinces, and the rest were established as the northern provinces. Inheriting many of the legacies of the Polar Industry Group, even the Polar Industrial City was assigned to the Central North Province and renamed Guangbei City. The upgrading of the related technology industry has been impressive in recent times.

You can build tanks in the central and northern provinces!

This model was considered by Gu Hang a long time ago.

First, the industrial center of Weixing City was established, and then the first rich drove the latter to become rich, radiating the surrounding areas. In other regions, it is first positioned as a supplier of consumer goods, food, and raw materials, and then gradually receives spillover capacity.

Now, it's time to get to the second step.

As the industrialization of all parties continues to advance, the industrial capacity of the alliance will presumably continue to maintain high growth in the coming period - or even higher than in the past.

If calculated according to the situation before the increase in output, these five divisional and brigade-level units belonging to the Central Army, especially the two mechanized brigades, can complete the rearmament in about three months.

If the expansion of production capacity is ideal, then it is likely that this time can be shortened to less than two months.

In training these troops, apart from the problems to be solved in terms of weapons and equipment, the rest is the training of soldiers.

The militia units currently in place in the eastern provinces are not formally established and have not been trained in the Grant Points.

two armies, with a total of about 100,000 new men; In addition, the 34th Infantry Division, the 37th Mechanized Brigade, and the 38th Mechanized Brigade, which were sent to Black Arrow Star in the first phase of the expeditionary force, were crippled and pulled back, also need to be replenished. The direct personnel losses of these three divisions amounted to nearly 20,000, and in addition to the war dead, many wounded and disabled were also transported back and went through the formalities for decommissioning.

The personnel gap of 20,000 will also be replenished in this army building.

For these three divisions, the bereavement of the dead and disabled is one thing.

On the other hand, Gu Hang also gave the three divisions a commendation according to his promise. Collective third-class merit, all units under the three divisions down to the company level, are allowed to affix a single sword behind the shield on the banner and the armband of the unit number, which is a proof of honor. Individual companies were also given collective second-class merit; Some combat heroes, whether alive or dead, disabled or complete, have even received personal medals.

The collective medal is okay, it is just a bonus for the soldiers, which is mainly reflected in the honor of the troops; Individual medals are very valuable, which means that the alliance recognizes their merits. As long as they do not commit crimes in the future, these medals are entitled to a small but good supplementary allowance for life.

At the same time, almost all the personnel who participated in the war were quickly adjusted their ranks, and a large number of personnel were promoted to officers.

These soldiers, who have been promoted in rank and even turned into officers, have also been promoted in their positions. Platoon commanders are promoted to company commanders, company commanders to battalion commanders, and even regiment commanders.

Even if the original troops can't accommodate so many officers, it doesn't matter, the newly built 12 divisions have a large number of officer gaps, and they can be transferred out and filled in these units.

And in order to train these troops, Gu Hang spent 1,200 points on gift points.

That's not a big number.

As long as you don't build an army with millions of people, the cost of gift points for training troops has never been too much.

……

After planning the gift points for the training of the troops, Gu Hang now has more than 16,000 gift points left in hand.

Gu Hang thought about it for a while, and still used it to smoke technology.

He can draw 10,000 gears, but there's no need for that.

The greatest value of the 10,000-level technology tree mainly comes from the 25% probability that it can produce epic technology.

But...... Epic technology may not be able to digest it. That's a bit too high-end for the current industrial level of the Angry Owl.

What's more, the technology pool of the 1000 Gift Stalls has not been drained yet. At this level, although the probability of pumping is 57.5%, he can draw a few more times.

He started with a six-draw draw.

The first shot is empty, and the second shot is also empty; In the third shot, he hit a basic level; The fourth shot hit an advanced class; Fifth Shot; The sixth shot is a basic level again.

The two basic levels are the [HS6 Electromagnetic Gun Family] and the [Artillery Transformation] technology.

It's all relatively ordinary stuff, and it's basically not a big change.

The replaceability between electromagnetic rifles and laser guns is very high, and the power, performance, and cost of both are about the same level. The main difference is that they will behave differently against different enemies.

Generally speaking, mature, elite-level Astral Army units will be equipped with both types of rifles in a large area - the G series of live ammunition rifles will be eliminated and used by ordinary Astral Army units.

But this thing...... For the Raging Owl, it's more about technical reserves.

A set of laser guns or electromagnetic rifles, with a variety of fully equipped individual equipment, the cost is 4 tax coins; And a set of G9 is only 0.2 tax coins. There was a lot of money in the middle.

Gu Hang can't afford it for the time being.

But it's the artillery technology, which is very powerful. The same 155 howitzer, currently made by local methods, is very different in range and power compared with the modified one.

Especially in terms of range, it can be pulled to 40 km, which is doubled.

At the same time, for some small-sized artillery, such as 88 howitzers and 60 mortars, the power, range, and stability will become stronger.

This is very good, and it is a real reinforcement of the coalition army.

As for the advanced technology, it made Gu Hang even happier.
