Holy Light August 21, 2002, the overseas dominion of Lanhu City, Anfiston.

Headquarters of the Autonomous Military Command. This is the first meeting of senior military officers held after Claude and Marshal Bolognik conducted a military transfer. At this meeting, Claude carried out a radical reform of the military headquarters headquarters, streamlined and reorganized the military headquarters headquarters, reorganized them into twelve departments and a medical center, and appointed Head of each department.

In this department restructuring, the biggest influence is the former military region logistics department, which was split into the equipment department, the security department, the finance department and the personnel department. Followed by the Military Intelligence Department, a surveying and mapping department was split. In addition, the Ministry of Administration was reorganized into the Ministry of Training and the Ministry of Military Affairs. Although there are a few more subordinate departments, each department has unified powers and responsibilities. At the same time, some redundant administrative and civilian personnel have been streamlined, reducing the bureaucratic habits of the past.

"General Lieutenant General McJack as the head of the military headquarters, handles the daily business of the headquarters. Next, we will carry out experimental establishment reforms of the two military corps under the military district, and re-explore a troop establishment that meets the actual situation. The ministry must increase intelligence collection from the eight West Coast colonies and pay attention to the implementation of the wildfire plan ... "

For Claude, this time the restructuring of the headquarters of the military region, the addition and replacement of the heads of various departments responsible for the generals were mostly from the Thunder Corps. The eight major generals and three major generals who retired this time are all members of the Rock Legion and are under the command of Marshal Bolonique. This is not the result of Crowder's exclusion of dissent, but the difference caused by human differences.

Claude is the youngest of the five giants in the autonomous region. His officers promoted in the Thunder Corps are also very young. He has a flexible mind and is good at accepting the evolution of new ideas and tactics. Lord was transferred to the local defense forces, which is one of the reasons why the Thunder Army is good at attacking.

And Marshal Bolonick was already a dozen years older than Crowd. His Rock Corps leader was defensive, so the officers he appointed were all mature and stable, about the same age as him. Several are even bigger than Marshal Bolonick, all over fifty-five. Now that they have been promoted to the rank of General of the Kingdom, they have also become the Baron of the Kingdom, and have acquired a hereditary family territory. It can be said that they have reached the peak of a Kingdom soldier, so they decided to retire.

The young officers were daring and adventurous. Older officers are prudent, confident, and have their own strengths. This is why the two military regions of the autonomous military region each have their own fighting characteristics. However, the senior retired officers of the Rock Corps this time collectively retired, which helped Claude a lot, and made room for the younger successors. Otherwise, Claude can only prepare to recruit these old men into the headquarters of the military area, and hang them as an adviser in the name of a consecration ...

After the establishment of the various departments and agencies of the headquarters of the military region was settled, Claude devoted his mind to the reform of the establishment of the army. Because the subordinate forces of the autonomous command zone, whether it is the two main legions or the local defense forces, have been equipped with new rifles and new artillery, the logistical pressure is extremely great. Claude also prepared to undergo major operations on the troop establishment based on his experience with the Alliance forces in the Nasseri area.

At present, the two main corps under the autonomous territory and the local defense forces still use the traditional firearm gun unit. In view of the traditional custom of firepower relying on volley and combat strength relying on more soldiers, the number of troops in each unit is expanded as much as the Lord. For example, a small team of twelve combat personnel has reached the limit of the force that a chief officer can command.

Claude has always felt that the establishment of the twelve members of the grass-roots fighting team is very bloated. With the new musket, the firepower of the grass-roots fighting team has been greatly strengthened. It is difficult to ensure the flexibility and speed of the team after it is twelve. Battlefield Command Response. So he decided to adapt a grass-roots combat squad to eight people, with the squad leader as the non-commissioned officer and the deputy captain as the non-commissioned officer.

In addition, Claude also wants to change all the establishments to three-three systems, rather than the current four-four system, that is, the three squadrons are a first squadron, the third squadron is a large squad, the third squadron is a battalion, and the third battalion is a regiment. Three regiments are a division and three divisions are an army. However, this move was opposed by most of the senior staff officers of the military staff. They were worried that such an adjustment would cause the grass-roots troops to lack sufficient combat power. Crowder thought about it and decided to adopt the four-four system.

A small team of eight people, four teams as a squadron, the captain is a second lieutenant officer, equipped with a serviceman, can also be used as a commander, a guard, a communications officer, a medical soldier, a total of 37 people . The fourth squadron is a large squadron, the captain is a lieutenant or captain officer, equipped with a serviceman, two guards, a communications soldier, a medical soldier, an artillery team of six people, equipped with a new infantry light field artillery, total For one hundred and sixty people.

The four battalions are a battalion, the battalion commander is a captain or major officer, and is equipped with a serviceman, an assistant officer, three guards, six staff officers, twelve auxiliary staff, a logistics service team of eight, and a communications team of eight. People, eight military and law teams, eight logistics teams, eight medical teams, eight security teams, thirty artillery squadrons, equipped with four new infantry light field artillery, a total of 740 people.

The four battalions are a regiment, the regiment commander is a lieutenant colonel or a colonel officer, equipped with a deputy officer, a serviceman, the headquarters of the regiment is equipped with 16 staff officers, 32 auxiliary staff. Another communications squadron, a military squadron, a logistics squadron, a security squadron, a logistics service squadron, a security squadron, a medical squadron of eight, a field team of 160 people, and an artillery team of 140 Five people, equipped with 16 infantry light field artillery, a total of 3,485 people, plus 15 maneuvering places, a total of 3,500 people as a main field battle group.

The four regiments are a division, and the division commander is a colonel officer or major general officer, equipped with an assistant officer and a serviceman. Starting from the division, the command headquarters has 12 departments, as well as the military region. There are two heads and deputies in charge of each department, four civilian officers, and twelve auxiliary personnel, totaling 216. The division headquarters is affiliated with a guard brigade, a communications brigade, a military and law brigade, a guard brigade, a logistics service brigade, a logistics execution brigade, two logistics-intensive transport brigade, and a medical squadron with 35 members.

In addition, the division headquarters also has a field-strengthened independent battalion of 800 people, and a direct artillery battalion of 680 people, equipped with 64 infantry light field artillery. In total, a main field division has a staffing of more than 17,000. If you add non-combatants such as the groomed veterinary chef, the total staffing of that division is about 18,000.

Crowd knew very well that the divisions of the two main field corps in the autonomous region are now around 35,000. There are too many troops and non-combatants occupy a third of the number. It is bloated and inflexible, and at the same time puts great pressure on logistics and military supplies.

Just like in the Battle of the Royal City of Polynesia, Claude used a regiment to counter the attack of a legion of the Alliance Army. Even with the defensive position and the wall addition, it was still at a great disadvantage in terms of strength. A lot of unnecessary casualties. That would be no way. The lack of troops at hand is one aspect. The most important thing is to send a division to deal with the enemy. A legion appears to be a killer with a sledgehammer, and it is easy to run away the enemy and finally cannot enter the trap.

The strength of one regiment is only 5,500. It is too disparate to deal with the enemy ’s strength of more than 60,000 troops. It is easy to send two regiments to the enemy because they have different orders. At that time, Claude hoped that there could be a division with 10,000 or 20,000 troops, and he could make himself command and defend ...

Claude now reduced one division to more than 18,000, almost halving the strength of the existing division. In this way, even if there are four divisions in one army and two divisions directly under it, the total strength is also It will not exceed 90,000. Compared with the current 150,000 thousands of the four divisions of the Thunder Corps, the pressure on both military expenditures and logistical supplies has been greatly reduced, and at the same time, it has solved the problems of the placement of the promoted generals in the overseas autonomous command areas.

After the military reorganization was completed, the troops could not be immediately reduced. Crowd used the third division of the Rock Corps and the three direct regiments affiliated to the military region to conduct restructuring experiments to allow older soldiers and officers to retire. Claude formed the first division of more than 18,000 troops to conduct various exercises and trainings, test the impact of the new military system on combat effectiveness, various reactions to the command system, etc ... .

The Japanese word passed quickly in the rush, and soon Crowd received a letter from the colonel Bokal and his younger brother Brovik. After two months of trek, their group finally opened a trail in the inland wilderness and mountains to the colony of the kingdom of Morosik on the west coast, and the mixed-race baron Tezsinger Nora Taganem took the head to meet.

With the support of the overseas dominion, Tezsinger Nora Taganem was very happy. He agreed to set up the Pamigar National Independent Liberation Front, and was willing to run his family and convene the young people to form the Liberation Front. The only difficulty is that these young Pamigarans have never received any military training. It takes them more than half a year to complete military training, and they can launch an armed uprising after they have formed combat effectiveness.

Perhaps this is too long for overseas dominions, and tens of thousands of Pamigars gathered to train can easily be found by the colonial garrison of the Kingdom of Morosík. Brother Brovik made a suggestion. It is best to call for volunteers from overseas dominions to help the Pamigars fight. First, build a site to establish a loud government. Also give time to those young military training. Only side battles. Side training can achieve the best training results.

For Claude, the problem with the wildfire plan is not how to set off a wave of national liberation and independence in the colonies of the West Coast countries, but how to prevent the eight colonial nations in southern Faria from targeting the overseas dominions. It is not a problem to send officers and volunteers to teach the military training of the Pamigar. The problem is that the personnel cannot go to battle with weapons such as new rifles and new artillery from overseas dominions.

The inconvenience of ammunition replenishment is on the one hand. On the other hand, if these new weapons fall into the hands of the colonial garrison of the Kingdom of Morosík, the overseas self-governing territories will have no reason to argue. Everyone knows that these new weapons are produced by overseas dominions themselves and they are never sold outside. When these weapons are found among the rioting Pamigarians, it is easy to expose this Pamigarian riot that was provoked and supported by overseas dominions ...

Therefore, even if the wildfire plan implemented by the autonomous military command zone supports the independent liberation movements of the various ethnic groups in the colonies of the West Coast, the munitions sent to the peoples by the autonomous command zone can still only be firearms, and at most some more throwing bombs. New weapons cannot be sent. of.

It ’s just that there are n’t many rifle guns in the autonomous region. The most advanced Obas III type muskets have been packaged by the autonomous region and shipped back to the Kingdom to support the kingdom ’s three trump field army regiments to fight the Alliance army. Even if the war in the kingdom is now over, the Autonomous Military Command cannot bring these rifle guns back ...

In the end, Claude had no choice but to find Mr. Wilbur overtime and let his military manufacturing industry work overtime to make 100,000 precision sighting rifle guns in two months. The Autonomous Military Command was waiting for urgent use.

However, having a musket is not the end of the problem for Claude, but the beginning of annoyance, because the autonomous leader who is accustomed to using the new rifle is now unwilling to pick up the musket again to fight. This call for volunteers to help The Pamigar warfare became a problem.

At a seminar held in the headquarters of the military region, General Staff Derrick, a senior staff officer, put forward a suggestion on whether it is possible to recruit Hicks prisoners in the Dominion to form a volunteer division to help the Pamigarians to achieve national liberation and independence. Victory ...

There are three reasons for General Driwick. One is that these Hicks prisoners have already served their lives. They are now free people, just because the Hicks Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ovilas have not signed a truce peace agreement. The state of war makes it impossible to return. If they are willing to volunteer to help the Pamigarians, there is no reason to stop them.

The second is that these Hicks prisoners who were free were all used to rifle guns, so there was no problem on the battlefield after holding a rifle gun after a short training.

The third is the most important point. About 100,000 Hicks prisoners wanted to be naturalized and settled in overseas dominions. During this period, the autonomous dominion parliament was very arguing over this issue. Applicants say that their joining can increase the strength of the Dominion by 100,000. The opponents say that these Hicks prisoners were once the enemies of the Dominion. Now they want to settle down and enjoy the treatment of kingdom immigrants. Aren't they too cheap? They are not immigrants to the kingdom and have not contributed to the dominion ...

So General Driwick means that if you are willing to join this volunteer division to help the Pamigar people get the Hicks captives for national liberation and independence, not only can you enjoy high salaries and welfare subsidies in the volunteer division, but also Becoming a member of the overseas dominion automatically after the war is over, as with the immigrants of the Kingdom, can obtain the right to allocate farmland and family property.

General Driwick believes that 100,000 Hicks prisoners who have settled in the autonomous community should be able to recruit more than 30,000 volunteers to form a division. Therefore, he was willing to serve as the division head of this volunteer division, leading them to the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik on the west coast, and firing the first shot of the armed uprising of the Pamigar ...

After a brief discussion on General Driwick's proposal, Claude decided to give it a try, and appointed General Driwick as the division head of this volunteer division, responsible for the formation and rectification of this volunteer division, and firearms After the production and production, he led the volunteer division to the colony of the kingdom of Morosik on the west coast.

At present, all the military expenditures for the formation of this voluntary army are paid by the overseas dominions. According to the agreement signed by Colonel Bokal and the Tezsinger Nora Taganem, these expenses will be repaid in installments after the independence of the Pamigarans. After all, based on the family of this mixed-race baron, he can't afford this huge military expenditure now ...

Just as Claude was overwhelmed by the military reforms, wildfire plans, and volunteer divisions of the Overseas Dominion, he received a report from the director of Field Manor Stevenson. His mother and wife, Kefner, have already packed up their clothes and taken his second son, Belgassi, and his young daughter, Eliza, to leave the Dominion and return to White Deer City ...
