Chapter 1761 Demonstration of Force ([-])
The setting and planning of Haihan's arms are closely related to the country's development direction, so special arms like cavalry that require a lot of resources to support can only temporarily play a supporting role at this stage, and the resources and combat opportunities they can obtain cannot match the The main arms are on par.For a general like Harugong who devotes himself to the development of the cavalry, there is indeed a kind of sadness that his talents are underappreciated. It may take five, ten, or even longer for such a general environment to gradually change. And Harukon probably will have a hard time holding on to the position of commander of the first-line troops until that time.
In fact, regardless of the types of arms, it is only a matter of time before the senior military generals face replacement. Most of the traverser generals are already in their 40s.Even Chen Yixin, the youngest general among them, is about to enter his thirties now, while older generals like Mu Xiabo, who is already 45 years old, have already voluntarily chosen to retreat to the second line before. Ann Buna Island to be a local sheriff, take root and enjoy the rest of his life.After ten years of traveling around in the military in this era, there are actually not as many people who continue to serve in the army with the same drive to become a famous general in history.
However, the second generation of time-travelers is far from being able to take over at this time. Most of the children who get married after time-traveling are still in elementary school. Even if a group of child prodigies are born, It is still about ten years before the succession.If it is the administrative department, this time is not a big problem. The body of the traverser usually works until the age of five or sixty, and then there is time for the gradual transfer of power.But the situation in the military is quite special. When the time comes, Haihan generals will withdraw from the front line one after another, and a large number of troops stationed overseas will be handed over to naturalized generals to command. This will inevitably lead to some turmoil and possible hidden dangers.After all, no one is perfect, and not all soldiers will unconditionally pledge their allegiance to Haihan like Gao Qiaonan.
In fact, the Executive Committee has considered this potential risk very early on, and has also taken certain preventive measures. For example, the manufacture of some advanced weapons and equipment, especially guns and ammunition, has been strictly controlled in Sanya, so that overseas The combat effectiveness of the garrison must be guaranteed by the domestic supply of armaments and materials.Naturalized officers often need to go back to the military academy in Sanya for further study before being promoted. In addition to military content, a considerable part of it is ideological education to strengthen their loyalty to the Haihan regime.Regularly arrange for the troops stationed in overseas colonies to change their defenses, so as to prevent these troops from staying in the local area for too long to take root and slowly evolve into a situation of warlord separatism.In addition, the military will also have various preferential conditions to encourage senior military officers to settle their families in Sanya, or send their children to Sanya to receive better education since they were young.
Of course, these restrictive measures can only be regarded as a middle-to-low strategy. The most effective way to make the naturalized generals still wholeheartedly work for Haihan after they get the military power is to tie their personal future with the national interest.In addition to various rewards for promotion and salary increase, there is another secret method is marriage, using family interests to consolidate the loyalty of the generals.However, for now, the vast majority of traversers are still on the sidelines about the future of naturalized officers, and they still prefer internal marriages, and their children are generally young. For those who choose to come to this time and space in pursuit of freedom, it seems that it is not harmonious.
Perhaps it was because of the idea of retreating, Harugong did not choose to personally lead the army to participate in the military parade today, but sat in the viewing stand with Yan Chujie and others early, acting as a leisurely spectator.Next to him was Mu Xiabo who had rushed back from Ambuna Island to participate in the National Day activities. The child sitting on his lap was Mu Xiabo's eldest son.
"I can't help it. The child has to go to school. There isn't even a decent school in Annbuna Island, so we have to send it back to Sanya." An old father who is worried about future generations: "I have been out for so many years, and the changes here are big enough. When I send my children back to study, I have to bring a group of adults with me. It seems that I have to get another suite."
Harugong joked, "You are the sheriff of Ambuna Island. There are many rich people who are waiting for the opportunity to flatter you. You just need to show your words, and the house givers will queue up."
Mu Xiabo said sternly: "That's not necessary. I'm not short of that little money, so why bother to tell the truth. I've already found a dentist and I plan to buy a decent yard here, otherwise it will be too late to send my children back later." Not easy to live in."
Annbuna Island has now become one of the most famous gold-selling caves in the South China Sea. The service industry on the island is very developed. As the local sheriff, Mu Xiabai naturally has his backing and support, and has some businesses in the local area. .In terms of income, he is probably several grades better than the vast majority of people in Sanya who rely on the annual dividends of the Traveling Group. Even if they just lie down and do nothing from now on, the rest of their lives will be enough to live affluently.As for generals like Haru Gong who spend all their free time on the racecourse, who spends all their free time on the field, their family background is naturally far behind that of Mu Xiabo.
Harugong silently weighed it in his heart. If he didn't have the annual dividend income from the government, with the current real estate market price in Sanya, if he wanted to buy a bigger yard here, he would probably have to take out the pension in the account. Come out and move around.But this is actually nothing to be bitter about. Mu Xiabo gave up on continuing to lead troops in the front line, which means giving up the opportunity to continue to be promoted in the military, and withdrawing from the competition with his colleagues.If Mu Xiabo doesn't seize the time to make more money, what can he use to pave the way for future generations?
Mu Xiabo turned his head sideways, lowered his voice and said: "Old Ha, you have been fighting outside for so many years, and you have to stop and think about some things. If you are willing to invest some money in business, you can consider putting it in An If you don’t come to Nadao, the supervision here is not so strict, you can do any business, and the money comes in quickly.”
Harugong smiled, thanked Mu Xiabo for his kindness, but did not agree immediately.He probably knows what kind of business Mu Xiabo is talking about. With so much money flowing on Amberna Island, it is obviously not enough to rely on Haihan Bank, an official financial institution, and businesses like underground banks do not have official financial institutions. Outsiders in the background will definitely not be able to do it, so naturally they have to control it in their own hands.If you use the money to invest in shares, or start some other industries in the local area, with Mu Xiabo's care, it is indeed not a big problem to make money.However, Harukon's own idea is to go to the north to take root in the future. If the industry is located in the South China Sea, the distance between the two places is too far, and if something happens, it will not be so convenient to schedule.
In fact, for officials at their level, there are indeed many opportunities to make money, and they don't even need to come forward or take care of it themselves. This is much easier than killing the enemy on the battlefield.But everyone has their own aspirations, just like Mu Xiabo chose to hand over his military power early and quit the front line, Harugong chose to try his best to keep the operation and development of the Haihan cavalry on the right track while he was still able to ride his horse.There is no right or wrong, everyone is following their own path.
After the cavalry came the artillery unit. As in previous years, the artillery units under review were composed of artillery companies from several units.Due to the limited strength of Haihan, except for Sanya, which has a large number of artillery stationed due to the port defense fortifications, currently there are no battalion-sized artillery units in overseas colonies, and they are all scattered among the troops stationed in various places.For example, the artillery unit reviewed today, in addition to the local troops from Sanya, actually included artillery from Danzhou and Haikou.
Ordinary people actually have limited knowledge of the role artillery can play on the battlefield, and the power of artillery can only be roughly judged by its appearance. The bulkier and bulkier the artillery body, the more powerful it seems.But in fact, the artillery equipped by the Haihan Army, the Army and the Navy is gradually being updated, and some old-fashioned artillery installed in the early years have been replaced by new, lighter and more powerful artillery.What was displayed at the military parade were these light field guns that have been installed in the army in the past two years. They can be easily pulled away with only one pack horse, and their mobility has been greatly improved.
Such a light field artillery is not as visually impactful as the cavalry team just now in the eyes of the public.But in the eyes of those who know how to do it, it will have a different taste.The new artillery replaced by Haihan has been frequently seen in the two years of war. Of course, the military observers sent to Haihan's army from various countries are well aware of the power of the new artillery on the battlefield.However, Haihan's foreign military sales scope does not include these new types of artillery, so everyone is very greedy. Even the Fujian Xu family and An Nanguo, who have the closest relationship with Haihan, have not yet let Haihan let go of the sale. Such artillery.
As for the [-]-type field guns that various countries bought from Haihan the day before, they are still modified versions of old-fashioned artillery, and there is still a clear gap in combat performance with the field guns equipped in the Haihan army.And Haihan showed these new artillery pieces at today's military parade, and there is no lack of intention to show off force to warn all countries-no matter how many weapons I sell, the most powerful weapons are still in the Haihan army.
Anyone who wants to challenge Haihan's combat power must first weigh whether he can withstand Haihan's artillery attack on the frontal battlefield. You must know that the Spaniards who were the first tyrant in the South China Sea in the past fell to the artillery of Haihan's army this year. Under the mouth, it's not cold yet.
Following the artillery is the militia. Haihan's militia is not a militia in the traditional sense, but more similar to a reserve force. A considerable number of members are veterans, and they are armed to a certain extent in wartime.Although there is definitely a certain gap in combat effectiveness compared with the regular army, if it is to deal with an enemy army mainly equipped with cold weapons, there is still a relatively high degree of confidence that it can be defeated.
Among the militias in various places, Sanya is naturally the one with the best equipment and the highest level of training.The militia battalion in Sanya has four infantry companies, an artillery company, and a logistics company including engineering, communications, and medical services. All have experience in the military.The equipment is almost the same as that of the regular army, and the usual training is often carried out with the garrison troops. The only thing that is lacking is probably the actual combat experience.
However, it may be difficult to make up for this shortcoming. Under the current environment, the militia basically will not have the opportunity to be deployed overseas to participate in operations. Being able to participate in military exercises led by the military is probably the upper limit of their actions.
However, the enthusiasm of the onlookers for the militia is very high. The reason is very simple, because the militia participating in the military parade are mainly local personnel.From time to time, excited people can be seen showing off loudly in the crowd: "Did you see that? The tallest one in the first row is my second boy!"
The appearance of the militia is probably the part that makes the onlookers feel the most involved. At this time, many people will really feel that these Han people in military uniforms are their relatives.
The first garrison troops have arrived at Victory Square, while the militia troops have just set foot on the landscape avenue.The several miles long military parade made the people of Sanya very addicted to watching, and many people were so excited that their voices became hoarse.
The executive committee members sitting in the viewing stands were also quite satisfied with the enthusiasm shown by the people. Although this patriotic education method cost a lot of money, the effect was really good.I believe that for the foreseeable period of time, today's military parade will always be the best topic of conversation for the people of this country after dinner.
As for the guests watching the ceremony in the stands on both sides, the psychological activities are various.Celebrities in Haihan's own country are quite proud of the strong military power. Several famous literary figures who came from Danzhou to watch the military parade began to write poems on the spot to promote the military parade.Of course, whether their poems were inspired by the scene or prepared in advance, only the parties themselves will know.
Most of the foreign guests were envious and couldn't hide their jealousy. The Ming envoy Fei Cexian and the Dutch East India Company special envoy Su Keyi who left the venue angrily the day before were also sitting in the stands, although they had a lot of dissatisfaction with Haihan. , but after being angry, he had to admit the strength of Haihan's army.And today's military parade, they have to watch carefully, record everything they observe one by one, and send it back to the rear as the collected military information.
