At noon on December 25th, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao went to the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's cabin to have lunch again. However, Su Yan and Su Qiaoer had breakfast together, but the person who ate together at noon was replaced by someone who had just returned from the midway Twin Islands. Chafidel.
Qu Mao looked at Chafidel who was waiting for him sitting at the dining table in astonishment, and asked, "Chafidel, I heard that you left for Midway Twin Islands on December 16. According to my previous itinerary, you probably We can only reach Midway Twin Islands today.
Why did you go back to the lord's hut in the blink of an eye? You also specially use the magic communication crystal to notify me that I will have lunch at the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's cabin at noon? "
Chafidel smiled and said: "My lord, you are marching with a 2,000-strong fifth-tier palace guard, and your subordinates are traveling with three horses.
The subordinates were on horseback all the way, they ran all the way to Wucheng Port, and then boarded the navy warship to the Midway Twin Islands. In fact, on the 20th, the day the battle in the Kingdom Battlefield ended, the subordinates had already arrived at the Midway Twin Islands.
Originally, I just wanted to come back after looking around casually, but the subordinates of the firearms army on the big island of Gemini Island thought that the training was not bad, so they lingered for a few more days.
Although the firearms army on Twin Islands midway is still small in number, the officers of the commanding army have trained these soldiers well.
The firearms university and firearms research institute on the small island of Twin Islands on the way, the subordinates also specially went to see it. Whether it is the latest firearms research results or the firearms professionals trained, the subordinates are full of praise.
His subordinates asked Li Xiang to arrange the construction of the Firearms Military Hospital before coming back for the year-end summary meeting. It happened that his subordinates met Master Xuande at the Firearms Research Institute.
After communicating with Master Xuande, the subordinates know that the current production capacity of the two new military industrial parks is 5,000 new-style firearms a month, and the production capacity of new-style artillery is 1,000 pieces a month.
Although the current new artillery is mainly produced for naval warships, the subordinates believe that the production capacity of the new artillery can averagely 200 pieces a month for the firearms army is not a big problem.
Considering the current production capacity of the new military industry, the subordinates believe that starting from January of the seventh year of Tianxuan, the formation of the Firearms Army needs to be accelerated.
The subordinates believe that 5,000 new guns can equip 5,000 soldiers of the Firearms Army, and 200 new artillery can equip 2,000 soldiers of the Firearms Army.
Because the current configuration of our artillery team is 10 people equipped with 1 artillery, plus explosives and landmines as a specialized unit of demolition soldiers, so the subordinates believe that starting from January of the seventh year of Tianxuan, the expansion speed of the firearms army should be one month. 10,000 new soldiers of the Firearms Army.
This deployment rhythm can only last until June of the seventh year of Tianxuan, when the total number of our Firearms Army will be close to 100,000.
In the second half of the year, we will re-plan the speed of deployment of the Firearms Army according to the production capacity of the two new military industrial parks. At the end of the seven years of striving for the selection, the number of soldiers in the Firearms Army can exceed 200,000. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "From January 1, the seventh year of Tianxuan, you will be the commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army. These things are what you should do."
Chafidel said: "My lord, the total size of the Firearms Army has reached 200,000. This subordinate thinks that it can be put into actual combat to verify the operations of the Firearms Army."
Qu Mao said: "You arrange this yourself. After the year-end summary meeting is over, before you officially go to Midway Twin Islands to take up the post, you can systematically report to me your specific plan.
Chafidel said disdainfully: "My lord, I have heard about this matter, but I don't think that the 500 Musketeers are conducting actual combat tests.
After all, they still use the oldest flintlock guns, and the bullets they use are still paper-wrapped. The range of the flintlock guns can’t even reach 300 meters.
His subordinates have entrusted Xinping to send a letter to Mr. Zhao Pan, asking him to transfer the 500 Musketeers who the Firearms Army observed on the battlefield in the eastern peninsula of the Eastern Continental Bay back to Midway Twin Islands.
After the year-end summary meeting is held, the subordinates will have a face-to-face chat with Mr. Zhao Pan. At that time, there is a high probability that a new musketeer team of 5,000 people will be re-appointed to the Eastern Peninsula battlefield to provide fire support for the army to attack the fortified city. "
Qu Mao said with a smile: "Zhaifeidel, this matter still requires you to communicate with Zhao Pan, and I will not interfere casually.
Let me tell you by the way: Xuande's logistics department has found two interns from Zhidao New Technology Research University, named Nanli and Mu Degui. They are researching the army's paraglider technology. Once successful, the army can fly in the sky Shoot with new guns.
Of course, I also contacted two interns from the Outlying Island Power Research Institute and asked the four of them to join forces to see if they could tinker with an army tank.
Whether it is a paraglider or an army tank, I plan to give priority to the firearms army, and must replace the status of the Zhao Pan Cavalry Corps. "
Zhaifeidel's eyes lit up, and he said: "Haha, once the army tank comes out, it can replace the cavalry corps, how disappointed should Zhao Pan be?
However, the army chariot also has to be pulled by horses, I am afraid it is not as good as the cavalry corps..."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "Since we entrust two interns from the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to work on a new infantry fighting vehicle project, then naturally we will not use livestock to pull the power, it must use steam power.
So Zhao Pan's cavalry regiment will definitely be suppressed. Just imagine, an infantry fighting vehicle is as mobile as a light cavalry, but 10 musketeers with live ammunition on a chariot can attack enemies within 1 kilometer in minutes. Is the enemy's effective strikes comparable to the cavalry corps? "
Chafidel smiled and said: "My lord, then this subordinate really needs to know more about it in advance."
Qu Mao smiled and said: "You are about to take over the Firearms Army, knowing in advance is definitely only good and not bad.
Of course, I will also provide them with a concept map in the follow-up to explain the basic configuration and theory of the infantry fighting vehicle, so that they can realize it.
Chafidel, after you become the commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army, you will not only quickly expand the number of soldiers in the Firearms Army, but also pay attention to the equipment update of the Firearms Army. "
Zhaifeidel smiled and said: "My lord, since the Firearms Army is so important, then you can assign a few heroes to your subordinates."
Qu Mao glared at Chafidel, and said: "Sorry, I don't have a single hero here, you can find Zhao Pan, Zhang Da or even Su Yan to find a way..."
Chafidel pushed the plate in front of him, stood up and said, "Then don't trouble your lord, my subordinate won't accompany you to eat, and my subordinate will go to Master Su Yan."
