"If you want to ask for money, yes, but can you have something new?"
After patiently listening to the report on the current situation of the Sixth Division's weapons and equipment, Beks made an unceremonious evaluation: "I have statistics on how much equipment the Ministry of National Defense has allocated to the northern region over the years! Watching people from above come to inspect, bring some old equipment from the warehouse to display, and then open their mouths to say "the executive committee pays money", this scene is too old-fashioned!"
Before entering the [-]s, the Northern Region was one of the few overseas administrative regions that had been carrying out various combat missions under the rule of Haihan, and several elite troops of the Haihan Army were also concentrated here, fighting against the Qing army all year round.The special operations group under Qian Tiandun's command and the Marine Corps built by Tom Wang have all been stationed in Liaodong for a long time. The equipment level of these front-line combat troops must not be bad.
In fact, many newly developed weapons and equipment are also sent to the northern battlefield for actual combat testing before they are officially installed.For example, the landmines, grenades, field artillery and other weapons and equipment currently installed by the army were first put into use during the battle between the Jinzhou Isthmus and the Qing army, and then mass production began.
The combat troops in the northern region have actual combat experience, so after the mass production of these weapons and equipment, they are often also the priority for installation.
It is precisely because of this objective environment that the equipment of the garrison troops in the entire northern region is not bad.When the Ministry of National Defense reorganized the troops, the garrison in the northern region got the designations of the Fifth Army Division and the Sixth Army Division. These are the real main force.Later, when Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom's troops were transferred from the northern region, they left a lot of good things here.When it comes to the overall condition of weapons and equipment, it's not up to the Northern Region to cry poorly anyway.
Being exposed by Bai Kesi face to face, Chen Yixin did not show any shame, but responded with a smile: "Old Bai, listen to me, the reason why we still have so many old equipment here is that the militia armed forces in many places It needs weapons and equipment, and secondly, it is also to prepare for the expansion of the army. You have also seen that the current situation in Liaodong is that the land is sparsely populated. We defend the border for the country, and the executive committee should also be sympathetic to our needs and difficulties."
In a few or two sentences, Chen Yixin changed the topic from equipment update to military expansion, without mentioning the fact that the officers borrowed old equipment and cried poorly.
Of course, what he said was indeed an objective reality. With the deployment of troops of the Sixth Army Division, it can only be said that it can still meet the needs of governance in non-wartime.However, if a war broke out with the Manchu Qing and it was necessary to regroup troops, it would inevitably lead to a situation of defense emptiness in some places.These areas must either give up their defenses, or they can only be handed over to the militias. At that time, the old weapons in the arsenal will come in handy.
Whether it is applying for more military budgets, updating weapons and equipment, or expanding the garrison, they are essentially seeking support from the Executive Committee.And Chen Yixin's reasons are very good. As the frontier of the empire, the Liaodong region must not relax its armaments, otherwise it will leave an opportunity for the opponent to fight back.
Beks responded noncommittally: "If the situation in Liaodong changes and it is really necessary to increase the size of the garrison, the Ministry of National Defense will make corresponding deployments."
Chen Yixin said: "How to deploy? Is it possible to transfer the Marine Corps and Qian Tiandun's troops back to the north? Lao Bai, the situation here in Liaodong is different from other places. It takes a long time to temporarily transfer troops from the south." In order to adapt to the environment in the north, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The real and effective solution is to recruit troops from the local area.”
After Chen Yixin finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the huge map, pointing to the border of Liaodong: "Look, our territory in Liaodong borders Daming at Shanhaiguan on the west, and there is a long border line adjacent to various tribes of Mongolia in the northwest. The areas controlled by the Manchu Qing are even more intertwined. Although no major wars have broken out at present, I can tell you frankly that small-scale armed conflicts still occur from time to time in the border areas. If we do not manage well, we cannot If forces form an effective deterrent, the escalation of the conflict will happen sooner or later."
Judging from the markings on the map, Haihan's border in Liaodong is composed of a series of Tunbao Villages that are tens of miles apart.The large garrison points of the Haihan Army are deployed tens of miles behind the border to facilitate the deployment of troops during wartime.In fact, this border defense system basically followed the deployment plan of the guards in the Ming Dynasty, but the Haihan Army's combat capability was stronger, so the border area controlled by a garrison of the same size was also larger.
Among the surrounding forces facing the Liaodong region, only the North Korean country on the other side of the Yalu River is relatively safe, and the other parties are all eyeing Haihan.It's just that because the force value is not as good as Hai Han's, he dare not do it easily.
But as Chen Yixin said, with the current strength of the Sixth Army Division, it would be somewhat stretched to deploy defenses in such a large area.Upgrading the armaments of the frontier army and expanding the size of the frontier army is the solution to border security advocated by Chen Yixin.
In fact, Bai Kesi knew this situation very well, and he also knew that it would be difficult to meet the defense needs of the entire Liaodong by relying on the Sixth Lu Division alone.And the local militia armed forces may have already exceeded the scale introduced by the officers. As long as the executive committee and the Ministry of National Defense let go, it is not surprising that the northern region will immediately pull out another division in Liaodong.
Bai Kesi said: "It seems that you have already planned the expansion of the Liaodong garrison and prepared for war, so let's talk about it!"
Seeing that Bai Kesi's attitude had softened, Chen Yixin immediately asked Chen Pingliao to explain the expansion plan.For such an important matter, of course he had to arrange for his son to come out and show his professional ability.
Chen Pingliao also knew that the matter was important, so he stepped forward quickly, and introduced in a deep voice: "We have formulated a plan for conscription and expansion based on the actual situation in the Liaodong area, which can be roughly divided into three stages."
In the first stage, the northern region will recruit soldiers from a wide range of sources in Liaodong, including but not limited to various ethnic groups under Haihan's rule. It is expected to recruit 6000 to [-] people.
In the second stage, these personnel were incorporated into the local militia for training, and combined with the existing personnel of the local militia, some outstanding performers were selected to join the Haihan Army.
In the third stage, a new troop establishment is established based on the actual increase in troop size.
After the implementation of these three stages of work, it is expected that the Liaodong garrison will be supplemented by two to 3000 people, which is about the establishment of a regiment.The local militia will also take this opportunity to expand its scale, adding three to four thousand militia members.
