Chapter 1371： Military Planning Conference

On the morning of May 28th, the twelfth year of Tianxuan, in a meeting room on the third floor of the lord's cabin on Yi Island, the sacred place of King Yi's territory, Xuande, Silta Delta, Zhao Pan, Zhang Da, and Sophie Trani The commanders-in-chief, ministers of the military department and logistics department of the six armies, including , Chafidel, Sylvia Oshen and Su Buqing, all gathered together.

  Because it was a military planning meeting, Qu Mao did not ask non-military heroes such as Kong Ming and Su Qiaoer to attend.

   Qu Mao scanned around the people in the meeting, and asked straight to the point: "Sirta, how did you discuss the matter that was explained to you before the end of the meeting yesterday afternoon?"

Silta Delta nodded and said: "My lord, my subordinate had full and in-depth exchanges and communications with the six commander-in-chiefs of the various armies last night, and fully communicated with the future military plans of King Yi's territory. And a preliminary consensus has been reached.

My lord, under your request that all soldiers in the army must know how to use firearms and be equipped with firearms, we plan: the army will maintain 15 million soldiers; the Imperial Guard will maintain 1 million soldiers; It is estimated that the total number of residents in our Yiwang territory will reach 40 billion after the entire Eastern Continent is captured, so the number of garrison troops is 40 million.

Lords Sophie Trani and Jenny Walter of the Magic Army conducted a full deduction, and believed that the peak of the Magic Army is at most 1 million official magicians. Therefore, based on a comprehensive judgment, the Magic Army is temporarily limited to 1 million. When the number of magicians falls below 1 million, this number is supplemented by magic apprentices.

  In the future, the Firearms Army will not only need to train soldiers to master firearms for other services, but also transfer Firearms soldiers to other troops in an organized manner. Therefore, Chafidel believes that the Firearms Army should maintain the same size as the Army, which is 15 million.

The Navy mainly deploys naval fighters based on the number of warships. The future plan is to have 100,000 warships, and the total number of naval personnel is about 50 million. The current situation is that the number of naval fighters exceeds 50 million, but the number of warships is even 50,000. None of them arrived.

  According to this plan, the Holy Land of King Yi's territory will directly control 15 million soldiers, 1 million Imperial Guards, 1 million Magic Forces, 40 million Garrison troops, 50 million Navy troops, and 15 million firearms troops, totaling 122 million.

Compared with the total population of 40 billion people we will control in the future, our number of soldiers is relatively small. However, compared with the present, since our soldiers are all equipped with firearms and weapons, our combat effectiveness is comparable to our current nearly 300 million troops. It is many times stronger.

Of course, this plan for the number of soldiers does not include the number of guards in each independent territory. The configuration of guards in each independent territory will also be allocated according to one-thousandth of the total number of residents in each independent territory, so the total number of soldiers with a high probability Also within 40 million.

  Combining the guard forces and naval guard fleets in each independent territory, the army equipped with firearms and weapons in King Yi's territory will total 122 million in the future, and the total number of all troops will not exceed 200 million.

  My lord, what do you think of this plan for the number of military personnel? "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "After taking down the Principality of Pengda, and having this army size, I think we should be enough to compete with any forces in the other four continents.

   Of course, the premise is that our armaments can keep up and always stay ahead of the armaments of fighters of other forces. "

  Sirta Delta smiled and said: "My lord, I believe that the commanders-in-chief of the various armies are under little pressure, but the pressure on Master Xuande will be very high.

  Even if Lord Xuande decides to build 10 new military industrial parks, it will take at least three months for the new military industrial park to go from planning and construction to trial production to stable production, including the skills training of employees.

   I am afraid that within a short period of time, Master Xuande will not be able to meet the equipment production needs of this army. "

Zhao Pan said: "My lord, even if all the 10 new military industrial parks are put into production stably, it is estimated that the combined production of rifles and pistols will add up to 500,000 more guns and about 10,000 artillery pieces per month. This is not counting bullets, shells, For the production of landmines and grenades, it will take three to five years for our army of two hundred million soldiers to be deployed.”

  Chafidel said: "My lord, if it doesn't work, let Master Xuande build some new military industrial parks at once. The subordinates think that the finances of King Yi's territory can still be squeezed out with gold coins and resources."

   Xuande smiled bitterly: "Master Chafidel, we are only expanding 10 new military industrial parks right now, not because we don't have enough financial resources and construction workers, but because the number of workers in the new military industry is not enough.

   From the time a newcomer is recruited into the military factory of the new military industrial park, until he can achieve stable production and master the necessary operating requirements, at least half a year of training is required.

  The existing skilled craftsmen need to balance production and train new ones, so at this stage, it is the limit to build 10 new military industrial parks at the same time. "

  Sylvia Ocean frowned, and said: "My lord, the navy mainly relies on ship-borne artillery to fight. There is not much demand for muskets, pistols, and grenades in a short period of time, and landmines are even useless.

   Therefore, my subordinates suggest that the navy temporarily maintain the training frequency of 50,000 soldiers for one month, and let the firearms army on Midway Twin Islands train the navy soldiers instead. There is no need to equip the navy soldiers with muskets, pistols, and grenades.

  The navy is also in the stage of disarmament now, and everything will be discussed after the navy stabilizes. This will be at least a year later. By then, Master Xuande must have built a lot of new military industrial parks. "

  Sophie Trani followed up and said: "My lord, the firearms and weapons that 1 million Magic Army soldiers need to install can also be put back slightly. The subordinates think that it is not a big problem to put them on for a year or two.

  The Magic Army soldiers mainly use magic to fight, otherwise the meaning of our Magic Army’s existence will be lost. The subordinates don’t want the Magic Army to simply become a subsidiary of other military branches. "

   Zhang Da said with some embarrassment: "My lord, the number of garrison equipment has decreased, and the subordinates have to cut down a lot of troops. I thought that the use of firearms and weapons can enhance the combat power of the garrison soldiers, and it doesn't matter if the number is reduced.

  However, since it is a comprehensive difficulty, the firearms and weapons of the garrison can also be slightly slowed down, and the army and the imperial guard should be given priority. "

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Okay, it's rare that you commanders are so high-spirited, so let's extend the deployment time of King Yi's territory army plan to more than three years. Before the end of the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, we can reach today's level." I am satisfied with the state of our planning.

   Next, let’s discuss the deployment of the Western Front. After all, we will launch a general attack on the Principality of Pengda in August. "
