Chapter 2838

From the perspective of the scale of recruitment, the military expansion plan described by Chen Pingliao is actually much more subtle than Bai Kesi expected.He originally thought that Chen Yixin had made so many preparations that the northern region would at least request the expansion of an army division, but Chen Yixin's goal was obviously more pragmatic, and he did not intend to use military force, but only planned to expand a regiment.

Of course, Bai Kesi did not ignore Chen Pingliao's mention of expanding the militia armed forces at the same time, which can actually be regarded as a disguised form of military expansion.After all, the environment in Liaodong is not so peaceful. The military capabilities of the militias here are probably different from those of the militias in the south that mainly maintain local law and order, and they will be closer to the functions of the frontier army.

According to the plan of the northern region, the weapons and equipment provided to the militia are likely to be old-style weapons eliminated by the Haihan Army. It will be a considerable expense to arm thousands of people according to this standard.

After pondering for a long while, Beks asked, "How are you going to solve the military expenditure required for military expansion?"

Chen Yixin responded: "Of course the executive committee allocates military expenditures from the national treasury for the regular army. There shouldn't be any controversy about this, right?"

Bex nodded slightly in agreement.

Chen Yixin continued: "As for militia armed forces, most of the daily expenses can be borne by the local government, but the gap in weapons and equipment needs to be allocated by the Ministry of National Defense to make up for it. If a war breaks out, the militia militia participating in the war should be given military pay and pensions similar to the regular army, and this part of the expenditure should also be paid by The treasury bears."

Bai Kesi also realized at this time that he thought that the main purpose of the Northern Region was to reach out to the executive committee to ask for money. Permission to expand arms and prepare for war.

In all fairness, Chen Yixin's method of sharing military expenses is quite reasonable. The Ministry of National Defense will provide the necessary equipment, and the local government will bear the cost of maintaining daily operations.In this way, while military expenditures are minimized, thousands of more soldiers can be used locally.

However, the executive committee has always been very cautious about the requests made by overseas regions, especially for military purposes such as expanding the garrison establishment.It may not be rejected, but generally it will not be 100% approved. More or less, you still have to find some details and check them out. Otherwise, the local government will take what they want, and the authority of the executive committee will be affected if the number of times is too high.

Beks continued to ask: "After replenishing the troops, is the northern region going to continue to expand the scope of the control area through military means, or go to war with other countries?"

Chen Yixin shook his head and said: "I don't have such a plan for the time being. The main purpose of replenishing troops is to strengthen the defense. As for taking the initiative to launch an offensive, I don't think it is wise to continue to expand the territory at this stage. The north is a place of bitter cold, and it is not necessary. It is suitable for the life of the Han people, even if it is occupied by military means, long-term governance will become a problem."

In fact, Chen Yixin's point of view had already been revealed before, and he reiterated it again at this time. It seems that he also knows the taboo of the Executive Committee on the use of troops.

Bai Kesi said: "Well, about the expansion plan, you prepare a written report. After I read it, I will attach my opinions and report it to Sanya for the executive committee to discuss and vote on."

After the morning meeting, Chen Yixin arranged a brief military parade.The Jinzhou camp currently has not many troops stationed there. Except for a small number of mobile troops, most of them are troops returning from duty rotation in the border areas to rest and recuperate.

It is worth mentioning that the function of Jinzhou Camp is not only a garrison base, but also serves as a military academy.In addition to some grassroots officers who are about to be promoted, there are also military personnel from other countries who are studying here.

Among them, the largest number are students from the northern part of North Korea, with a total of more than [-] people.These people are all subordinates of Fenglin Dajun Li Hao, and the army they were originally in was also loyal to Li Hao, not the North Korean king Li Hao.

Although the troops controlled by Li Hao are far inferior to that of the king Li Yan, there are many mineral deposits in the northern part of North Korea, and with the support of Haihan behind them, they can always maintain a state of rivalry with the south.And these officers trained in Haihan are also one of the measures Haihan provided support to Li Hao.

Of course, these supports were not provided unconditionally. Not only did Haihan get the right to exploit mineral deposits in the area ruled by Li Hao, but he also asked Li Hao to pay for the standard equipment produced by Haihan in the name of military aid.In this way, the training and equipment of Li Hao's troops are in the same line as that of Haihan, and they can be seamlessly connected with the combat command system of the Haihan Army during wartime, playing the role of a coordinator.

Haihan's interests in North Korea and South Korea are controlled by the Donghai Region and the North Region respectively.Although the income from industries operated by Haihan, such as mining and commerce, needs to be handed over to the national treasury, how many hidden benefits these two regions have secretly obtained from North Korea, because the entanglement of interests is too deep, it is actually difficult for the executive committee to grasp Exact figures.

But what is certain is that the relevant number should be very considerable, otherwise it is only necessary to arrange for these North Korean students to be trained at the Datongjiang base, and there is no need to cross the sea to come to Jinzhou for further training.

For the gray area in the middle, the executive committee has always been able to turn a blind eye and close its eyes, unable to conduct investigations.When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If it is completely useless for those who do things, then the cooperation with North Korea may not be able to continue smoothly.

In addition to these Koreans, Beks also met some students from the Liaodong tribe, including Mongolians and some from some remote Jurchen tribes.

The tribes these people belonged to were not included in the Eight Banners of Manchuria because of their remote location, so instead of enjoying the various privileges after the founding of the Manchu Qing state, they were heavily exploited by the Manchu Qing just like the Han and Koreans. Suppress.

After Haihan learned of this situation, he tried to contact these tribes, saying that he could train military personnel for them, sell some basic weapons and equipment, and provide them with long-term military support.

This kind of doing what he likes naturally got a response very quickly.Haihan does not need to earn economic benefits from this kind of cooperation, so these tribes only need to pay some symbolic materials or money to obtain the military support provided by Haihan.

After these students complete their studies, in addition to returning to their hometowns to organize resistance forces, some people will also specially join the Qing army and become hidden stakes buried in the Qing army by Haihan.

Although the number of such foreign trainees is small, the quantity and quality are constantly improving under the continuous operation year after year, and certain results have been achieved.
