Chapter 1221 Speeding up the Construction of Firearms Army
At noon on August 2nd, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao had a simple campus lunch with the students in the canteen of the Firearms University on the small island of Twin Islands, and then ate with the Firearms University who was eating in the cafeteria of the Society. The administrators, including the principal, greeted each other and walked towards the outside of Huoqi University.
Between the big island and the small island of Midway Twin Islands, a cross-sea bridge with parallel aqueducts is planned, but it has not been completely completed yet, so Qu Mao can only get to the big island through the stone bridge between the big and small islands of Midway Twin Islands. The general station of the Island Firearms Army.
Chafidel knew that Qu Mao would come to Midway Twin Islands a long time ago. As for Qu Mao’s visit to the Firearms Research Institute and Firearms University in the morning, he was told by soldiers of the Firearms Army long ago, so Qu Mao hadn’t gone to the Firearms Army Headquarters yet. At the gate of the garrison, Chafidel took the senior officers of the Firearms Army and waited at the gate of the Firearms Army's general garrison.
After meeting Qu Mao, Chafidel said: "Master, you have finally returned from the Western Continent, and you are finally willing to come to our Firearms Army to have a look..."
Qu Mao interrupted Chafidel with a wave of his hand, and said: "I returned to the Yidao Military Port on July 10, and began to inspect the 15 islands in the Holy Land early in the morning on July 12. The twin islands were arranged at the end because of the long distance. .
I arrived at the island last night. This morning, I went around the Firearms Research Institute and the Firearms University. I had lunch in the student cafeteria of the Firearms University before arriving at the General Station of the Firearms Army.
I heard from Xinping in Yidao that since January 1st, you have been the commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army. Except for the end of March and the beginning of April when I asked you to go to the Eastern Continent Tassel Empire to attend the coronation ceremony of Su Yan, you have hardly left Midway Twin Islands. Your home is on Yidao, so it's not appropriate not to go home all the time. "
Zhaifidel sighed, and said: "My lord, after all, the Firearms Army is a new construction, and many matters are complicated. The subordinate is also the new commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army. It is reasonable to invest more time."
Qu Mao shook his head and said: "Your home is located on Yi Island, and going back and forth is just a waste of a day and a night.
You can’t even do your duty to your own family, how can I rest assured that you are doing your duty to the Firearms Army? I suggest you take as much time as possible to go back and be with your family, at least once a month. "
Chafidel nodded and said, "Yes, my lord.
After half a year of construction, the Firearms Army is now gradually complete. When the officers are well trained, the subordinates will not be as busy as they are now, and they will have time to go home and have a look. "
While following Chafidel to the office building of the General Station of the Firearms Army, Qu Mao said: "That is, if the selection of officers is in place, the construction of the Firearms Army will naturally be carried out smoothly.
Now the infrastructure construction of the Firearms Army General Station is basically in place. After all, you are the commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army, not a grassroots officer doing specific affairs. So there is no need for you to deal with many things yourself. Why do you need so many officers? Isn't it just to help you deal with specific affairs? "
Chafidel said: "Yes, my lord, this subordinate understands.
I will work hard in the follow-up, and will try my best to authorize the officers. However, the officers of the Firearms Army need to make adjustments in the near future. Excessive urging of subordinates. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "You have been the commander-in-chief of the Firearms Army for seven months. How is the development and construction of the Firearms Army now?"
Zhaifeidel said with a smile: "My lord, the subordinate's selfless devotion is not without achievement.
This is not counting the 5,000 Musketeers active on the peninsula battlefield, the 1,000 Artillery soldiers and the 2,000 Musketeers deployed on the border of the Marquis of Moner, and those who followed the adults to the Principality of Fulu in the Western Continent to act as guards The 2,000 musketeers are still on vacation and have not returned to the building. "
Qu Mao said: "There are already nearly 90,000 Firearms Army soldiers on the island, plus the 10,000 Firearms Army soldiers dispatched abroad, can it be understood that the size of the Firearms Army has nearly 100,000 people?"
Chafidel nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, the Firearms Army is currently 100,000 people fully equipped, not 100,000 people lacking weapons.
And there is still a surplus of firearms and weapons, so it should not be a big problem to equip another 20,000 firearms soldiers. "
The two came to Chafidel's office while chatting, and closed the office door. Chafidel affirmed Qu Mao's estimation and guess.
Qu Mao sat down and said: "It's only the beginning of August in the seventh year of Tianxuan, and the construction progress of the firearms army that we communicated with the two of us at the Lord's Lodge at the end of the sixth year of Tianxuan seems to be much faster."
Chafidel pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "My lord, when we exchanged plans for the construction of the Firearms Army in the lord's hut, we only talked about the approximate speed of the formation of the army, and the subordinates did not say that they were dead.
The subordinate said at the time that it is necessary for the subordinates to evaluate the effect before they can have an accurate plan, and you must allow the subordinates to moderately speed up the construction process.
Although the Firearms Army has reached a scale of 100,000 people, the subordinates believe that these 100,000 Firearms Army soldiers are all qualified Firearms Army fighters, not 100,000 people randomly assembled for the sake of progress. "
Qu Mao said: "Chafidel, I didn't accuse you of rushing for quick success. Since it is a full-stacked 100,000 Firearms Army soldiers, I can recognize this progress. Even if the training is insufficient, it can be made up for in the second half of the year.
So, how do you think about the construction and planning of the Firearms Army in the second half of the year? "
Chafidel said: "My lord, my subordinates believe that since the Firearms Army built such a good foundation in the first half of the year, it is natural that in the second half of the year it will be necessary to speed up the construction and formation of the army.
The subordinates plan that by the end of the seven years of Tianxuan, the number of soldiers in the Firearms Army will reach 300,000, with an average increase of 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers in the Firearms Army every month.
This means that the military barracks of the Firearms Army Headquarters needs to be increased, and the Jidao New Military Industrial Park and Liandao New Military Industrial Park need to produce weapons for the Firearms Army at full capacity. Otherwise, the development speed of the Firearms Army planned by the subordinates will not be satisfied . "
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said, "Is the expansion speed of this soldier too fast?"
Chafidel shook his head resolutely, and said: "My lord, the peninsula battlefield is stalemate, and the war between the Dali Kingdom, the Mughal Empire, and the Pengda Principality is imminent. My subordinates wish that the Firearms Army can be formed tomorrow and enter the battlefield the day after tomorrow.
This speed is considered the most conservative speed by subordinates. If support and supplies are in place, subordinates will even further increase the speed on this basis. "
Qu Mao said: "Well, we must support the construction of the Firearms Army."
