"To prepare for a rainy day, you really have to start preparing the army in advance."

Ye Yu nodded after reading the document, "However, the military strength and various situations in the Dongying direction are not clear now. ”

"I'll follow up on this myself."

Zhang Xingbang replied immediately.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, in fact, there are some situations in the west."

Shiratori spoke, "The intelligence officers we arranged in the Xiongnu rout army also sent some ......."

"Why didn't you say that?"

Zhang Xingbang turned his head to look at the white bird.

"Because there is not enough intelligence now, and there are some intelligence officers who have not returned, I have not brought it up."

"Because the Huns have gone to the west, the way back is relatively long. ”

"It's okay, how are they doing? Let's just talk about it briefly based on the available information. ”

Ye Yu nodded.

"The Huns, numbering about 20,000 men, led their nomadic people westward into the territory of the Duchy of Moxico."

"The exact circumstances are not yet known."

Shiratori said.

"I remember that the northern Xiongnu seem to have been driven out by us once more than a thousand years ago."

"At that time, they seemed to have killed the Europa circle you said, and there were countless casualties."

Ye Lie recalled and said.

"In this case, Sun Xiang should want to use the Hun army to go south and help the Principality of Moxico Europa."

Ye Yu thought about it and analyzed.

"There is Dongying in the east, and Moxico in the west......"

"Two strong enemies."

Ye Lie frowned and said, "But the good news is that they are not completely ready yet. ”

At this time, he and Ye Yu said in unison, almost at the same time, they said a question, "Is it acceleration or development?" ”

If the focus is on speeding up the military, it will inevitably slow down the pace of development.

In the face of a strong enemy, or even a situation in the future where two sides face the enemy, speeding up the military, at least a combat vehicle or a more powerful weapon, can indeed take the lead.

At least so that they do not dare to attack.

"Development."

Ye Yu said slowly, "But we have to bring the standing army up." ”

It's all about that.

"I remember, you have tens of thousands of people from Sun Guowang in Xishan Prefecture, right?"

Ye Lie thought and said.

"Xishan Prefecture is the gateway to prevent the enemy from coming from the Western Regions."

"Sun Guowang should be thirty regiments and six divisions by now."

Ye Yu thought about it and said, "Xishan Prefecture is a semi-military state, and it has been guarded before. ”

"Well, at least the enemy won't come in from here, and even if we want to fight, we have someone to hold back first."

"Ye Yu, everyone, how many people do you think we have to prepare in the north?"

Ye Lie nodded and said, "At least the three northern cities should become semi-militarized?" ”

"Ten thousand in one city, ten regiments, a total of thirty regiments."

"Each of these cities gave two to three regiments to garrison the Northern Railway."

Ye Yu thought for a while and said, "At least when the enemy comes, we can hold it off for the time being." ”

"But...... I'm afraid 30,000 people is not enough to fight. ”

Ye Lie thought about it and said, "Just rely on artillery and heavy machine guns...... And your rapid-fire cannon ......"

After all, the Principality of Moxico and Dongying have already discovered Ye Yu's same style.

When the time comes, it will be rifle shooting.

A few thousand people, probably not opponents.

Under the huge disparity in numbers, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

"Can the chariot speed up?"

Ye Lie was still worried.

"I'm afraid ......"

Ye Yu was also thinking.

In the end, do you want to speed up again?

Because there are already quite a few magnets.

A simple circuit can actually be made.

Relying on the steam power of burning coal, as an engine, it can actually be topped.

"Train cannon."

Ye Yu hesitated for a long time and proposed a compromise solution, "Where the railway is, we have an absolute advantage!" ”

"War trains?"

Ye Lie thought for a moment, if the artillery and rapid-fire guns were placed on the train, relying on high mobility, as a defensive ......

"Well, that's all we can do right now."

Ye Yu spoke, "Temporarily empty the people outside the Great Wall of the North and let them enter the three northern cities." ”

"Ye Yu, how long will it take for the train cannon?"

"If it's a modification to the train, it should take a lot of time, right?"

"Two trains, ten carriages, half of which were converted into artillery and rapid-fire guns, and then each carriage was armed with two-way machine guns."

"The rest of the wagons are used for ammunition and food...... A mobile regiment is enough to be stationed. ”

Ye Yu thought about the design, "I'll design it, this should come out soon." ”

"The Winter Congress is about to begin, and the Winter Congress will discuss this issue again."

Ye Lie nodded, with the idea of the train cannon, then they at least don't have to worry about defense.

Under the cover of the train cannon, in fact, there are not too many people as a fixed defense.

Because the railway north of the Great Wall is basically a ring line. Make sure that two trains can defend against enemies in both east and west directions at the same time!

Thinking of this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, under the stimulus of this series of intelligence, the treasury approved about 100 million taels of silver for military construction.

Among them are not only train guns, but also three-and-a-half semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns and heavy machine guns.

In this year, Ye Yu led the warlocks to change the structure of the Southern Dynasty Type II rifle and strengthen the gunpowder strength of the ammunition.

Relying on glass smelted in the sand, products such as sniper scopes and telescopes have been eliminated.

At present, officers at and above the company level in the Southern Dynasties can see clearly in the distance with telescopes.

The Southern Dynasty Type II rifle was also modified into the Jiaguo Type 1 sniper rifle.

By the time of the winter congress, the process of selecting soldiers from military schools was over.

After high-intensity military training, the Jiaguo No. 1 Garrison Corps is ready to go to the front line.

Although they don't know when the enemy will attack, they must stay on the border to prevent trouble!

The Winter Convention is here.

All the civil and military officials of Jiaguo gathered in the court and began to make reports.

The conference was held for two full days, the first day was devoted to general presentations, and the second day was devoted to discussing some quarterly and even annual issues.

The question of enemy forces and intelligence, of course, was again raised.

"Zhang Xingbang, you should be fully responsible for the external intelligence, right?"

Ye Yu said and looked at Zhang Xingbang at the meeting.

"Yes, the round table ministers will report in detail later."

"In general, there hasn't been much movement on the east and west sides, and the situation is still maintained."

Zhang Xingbang nodded.

"The reserve soldiers of the military department and the students of the military academy are basically maintained at about 50,000, and if there is a demand, the past cadets can be recruited."

Zhang Detian added, "The Corps has gone to the north. ”

In accordance with the principle of voluntary service.

As long as you enter a military academy to receive military training, you can choose to leave at any time, and of course, you can also choose to engage in other industries after graduation.

Members of these academies are able to receive some preferential jobs after graduation, as well as additional allowances.

But the downside is that as long as there is a war, they are the first to be drafted.
