Chapter 2887

The Special Warfare Division is a trump card unit jointly built by the Haihan Executive Committee and the military. It is well-equipped and has sufficient military expenditures. The combat achievements over the years are indeed worthy of such investment.New weapons such as machine guns and small-caliber field guns, which are expensive and still in the verification stage, are also given priority to special operators.

However, the special treatment given to special combat divisions is not unlimited. The obvious shortcomings such as sea and land mobility have not been effectively made up for over the years. I can't see it, and it has no direct relationship with the military budget.

To put it bluntly, this is a deliberate measure to limit the maneuverability of the special warfare division, so as to prevent this unit from being too arbitrary and even ignoring the command to make some dangerous moves.

Both sides are well aware of this, and Qian Tiandun will not intentionally break this unspoken rule for the sake of the treatment of special operators.He complained a few words in front of Yan Chujie, but he didn't expect the other party to change this.

Of course, if the special warfare division does not participate in combat operations for a long time and only serves as an ordinary border guard, then all kinds of preferential treatment will definitely be gradually cancelled.This is also one of the reasons why Qian Tiandun took the initiative to move his nest at any cost after the situation in Liaodong gradually became peaceful.

If you don't want special operators to become mediocre, you must find the next battlefield that can play a role.If there is no such battlefield at the moment, then you have to take the initiative to create one.

Migrating across thousands of miles from north to south and going to a completely unfamiliar environment is an extremely difficult task for any army.The special warfare division lost a large number of soldiers in the process, and consumed a huge amount of materials and military expenses, and the price paid was not small.

But from Qian Tiandun's point of view, the resulting impact is actually not without benefits.On the one hand, after reducing the size of the establishment, it will have a certain effect of streamlining the troops and streamlining the administration, and the equipment level of the grassroots troops will be improved instead.Rare goods such as machine guns and field guns could only be equipped by battalion-level units, but after the reduction in the size of the troop establishment, these advanced weapons can be distributed to some company-level units.

On the other hand, the military expenses that have been allocated to the special warfare division have also become a lot more generous.Although the timeliness of this situation is limited, the extra military expenditure can just be used to offset the southward relocation of troops and the construction cost of the Cam Ranh Port camp, which can be regarded as greatly reducing the financial pressure of the special operations division.

However, before the military expenditure was reduced, Qian Tiandun had to find a new job for his troops, which was the main reason why he asked Yan Chujie to come to Jinlan Port for inspection.He had to prove to Yan Chujie that although the special warfare division experienced long-distance migration and reduced establishment, it still maintained a strong combat effectiveness, enough to adapt to the special geographical environment of the South China Sea.

Under the command of Takahashi Minami, the company immediately conducted drills on multiple combat subjects.As Qian Tiandun expected, this company showed an excellent fighting state.

"Old Qian, you soldiers are really good. The soldiers under my command have never been so accurate in target shooting!" Feng Annan sighed sincerely after seeing the company's live ammunition shooting training results.

Yan Chujie said: "His soldiers, the number of bullets they knocked out every year just for training is about seven or eight times more than that of ordinary troops. This is the ability to forcefully feed them with money!"

Qian Tiandun said with a smile: "It can't be said that. Although the training cost is high, after they actually go to the battlefield, they can kill more enemies with less ammunition. Doesn't this save the money?"

Although these are all jokes, they also really reflect the special warfare division's thinking of forming an army, which is to improve the combat capabilities of soldiers at any cost.

Qian Tiandun pursues the principle of elite soldiers. He believes that the stronger the combat skills of soldiers, the higher the combat efficiency of the entire army, which can effectively reduce the cost of combat operations.It is far more meaningful to invest limited military expenditures in the training of a small number of elite troops than to maintain a large army.

Of course, this set of theories is no longer applicable to Haihan, which has an increasingly large territory.To protect a vast territory and maintain military pressure on neighboring countries, it is far from enough to rely on a limited number of elite troops.The garrisons distributed in various places must maintain a certain size in order to play the role of guarding the place.

After the exercise ended and Yan Chujie and Feng Annan were sent off, Qian Tiandun praised Gao Qiaonan's performance: "It seems that the training of the troops is not bad, you have worked hard!"

Takahashi Nandao: "Actually, the lowly position is a trick. Please forgive me. The army has been busy building camps these days. I specially set aside this company so that they can maintain their daily training so that they won't lose their combat skills."

The implication of Gao Qiaonan's words was that he had already expected that Qian Tiandun would have an inspection troop arrangement after he arrived at Cam Ranh Port, so he made targeted preparations in advance and specially recruited a company to maintain the training state.

Of course, doing this is suspected of being opportunistic, but Gao Qiaonan did not hide it, and told Qian Tiandun exactly what he did.

And Qian Tiandun didn't blame Gao Qiaonan for this, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times is all to achieve our goals!"

Gao Qiaonan said: "Does your lord think there is a good chance of persuading Minister Yan?"

Qian Tiandun said: "As long as we can solve the two key problems, the rest will be easy. One is the funding for organizing military operations; the other is the long-term operation and profitability of the new colony. The military leaders in the South China Sea have been standing still for many years, but in fact they have failed to solve these two problems."

Gao Qiaonan was puzzled: "As your lord said before, the funds can be solved by issuing war bonds, but how do you understand the second point?"

Qian Tiandun said: "After the South China Sea troops went out to expand their territory, who will manage the new colony, who will pay for the construction costs, and how to distribute the tax revenue of the new colony, these follow-up links have not been negotiated with the executive committee. .”

"The environment in the South China Sea is quite special. Several major garrison colonies are separated by thousands of miles, and it is inconvenient to communicate with each other. It is also difficult to coordinate positions and unify command. And I guess the managers are not convinced by each other, so No one came out to lead the organization.”

"But we are different. We don't have intertwined interests in the South China Sea. We don't have to think too much about what benefits we can get from the colonies in the future. We can do many things that are inconvenient for them. What we have to do is to stand up and take the lead. Then get more people’s support.”
