The sun never sets in America

Chapter 167 Han Dynasty General Mobilization

In Xijing City, early in the morning, a group of heavily armed soldiers came in and out, and there were even carts and carts of military supplies, which were transported to the suburban railways through the dense rail carriages in Xijing City.

"I said, let's not start a war now??" Wang Laosi, who sells hot dry noodles, stood outside the store wearing sleeves and watching people coming in and out. There were rail carriages filled with sealed wooden boxes everywhere, and some He worriedly said to the diners next to him, "This car must be a weapon. I have seen the mark on it in the army. It is the mark of the ammunition box of the military factory. It comes from Xijing City. Maybe it comes from our Xijing City." Arms..." Wang Laosi then continued to explain to the diners around him who put down their chopsticks.

"Maybe I'm going to fight the United States." One diner said.

"Yes, we should go fight the Americans. Damn, these guys are so useless. They burned, killed, and looted in Mexico. They did all kinds of evil. We didn't know how to do this back then. After all, we had to use things to find women. They It's better to just come and grab it... Isn't this inhumane!!" Another soldier who had participated in the Sino-Mexican War sneered at what the Americans did in Mexico.

In his opinion, you have to find a reason for everything you do. You can't force it. Forcedness not only hurts others, but also hurts yourself. Moreover, as an army captain in the Han-Mexican War, he actually took the discipline of soldiers very seriously. Heavy, and the unit he was in was Li Zhaowu's Iron Guard Brigade, so the watch was even stricter.

Li Zhaowu believed that military discipline must not be relaxed, and military discipline is paramount. If military discipline is lax, or even military morale is indulged, it will be good in good times. However, in times of adversity, or even if the soldiers' personal desires are not satisfied, the army may become timid in order to protect itself. The idea is not that these soldiers cannot fight, but that in their long-term indulgence of human nature, they have long released all the evil in human nature. This evil can hurt the enemy as well as themselves...

"Let me see... This time Long Live Master is going to fight those American brats to the end. If we can't save everything, he will call us men to fight!!" A bearded veteran was eating hot dry noodles from a bowl and using it. Said in a determined tone.

"What I'm talking about is, grandpa, I followed General Tang to the lower reaches of Mexico City. I killed so many Mexican soldiers that their heads were like lost dogs..." The middle-aged man with a background of cavalry echoed, and everyone in the opposite hall talked about his great achievements back then.

"Now if His Majesty calls me to join the army, grandpa, I can kill the Mexican birdman, am I still afraid of his American big nose?" The middle-aged man said proudly.

"Okay, as expected of me from Xijing, I have the talent!!"

"That's right, even though Americans are nothing, they are worthy of being compared with my big man's victorious army!!"

"His grandma's fault. If I hadn't been lame, I would have stabbed the white-skinned ghost again with my bayonet high and low!!"

In the restaurant, the diners were aroused by the middle-aged man's words, and they all echoed loudly.

This kind of situation is very common in Xijing City. Because Xijing City is the place where the Han Dynasty started and it is also the capital of the Han Dynasty, it is also the place where the Han Dynasty has the most nobles.

In the Han Dynasty, there is a special and representative collective name, that is, the Xijing nobles, also known as the Xijing nobles. They are a special group, ranging from the princes to the lowest public servants. a member of this group.

This group of people started their careers with military exploits, and family power is inseparable from the military. Therefore, most of their children mainly join the military. Although some people have begun to pursue civil service careers through imperial examinations, it will be difficult to turn around within a few years.

Because it has only been a few years since the Han-Mexican War, the Han Dynasty is still the first generation of nobles in power. Even if Liu Peng has realized this problem and begun to weaken the rights of the nobles, it cannot be changed in a short time.

For example, in this war, Liu Peng still used many generals from the Han-Mexican War, such as Li Zhaowu, Tang Wuwei, etc.

It's not that Liu Peng doesn't want to use new people, but in a war like this that is related to the fate of the country of Han, using new generals is too risky. Liu Peng doesn't dare to gamble, and neither can Han.

This also resulted in the current Han Dynasty's war plan, and the formation of a large army mainly composed of nobles from Xijing, supplemented by officers from immigrant backgrounds.

When the Han State's first-level war mobilization order was issued, the entire Xijing City was in a sensation.

The recruiting office was crowded with people everywhere.

"Name??"

"Luo Datou."

"I'm asking for your name, not your nickname!!" The recruiter looked at the man in front of him who was wearing a round-neck Hanfu and a big beard, frowned, and said angrily.

"Grandpa, if I don't change my name in office or my surname in office, I will be called Luo Datou." Luo Datou replied to the recruiting officer with an arrogant face, "Grandpa, when I was serving under General Tang, you were still talking about your mother. It's in my arms, hurry up, don't wait for me..." Luo Datou said to the recruiting officer very arrogantly.

"You..." The recruiting officer was a little angry because of Luo Datou, "Since you are a veteran, what is your position??" Due to his status as a veteran, the recruiting officer could only suppress his anger and continue to ask Luo Datou.

"The squad leader of the cavalry under the Dragoon Brigade." Luo Datou proudly replied to the recruiting officer, as if being the squad leader was a very big deal in his eyes.

"Since you are the squad leader, you will be the deputy squad leader." The recruiting officer directly drew the words "deputy squadron" on Luo Datou's roster without even raising his head.

"What, deputy classmate, Grandpa, I am the regular classmate, how can I be the deputy classmate??" Luo Datou, who was still proud at first, became anxious when he heard that he was listed as the deputy classmate, "Change the word "substitute" quickly. Come here, grandpa, I have never been a deputy in my life." Looking at the big word "vice" next to his name on the booklet, Luo Datou felt an unknown fire spurting out of his chest.

"This man can't change." Looking at the angry Luo Datou, the recruiting officer felt extremely comfortable, as if he had drank a glass of ice water in the summer. It was so comfortable.

"How come you can't change it? I think you're teasing me, please change it quickly!!" Luo Datou didn't believe that he couldn't change it. He only thought that the young boy in front of him was playing tricks on him, and then he sternly reprimanded him. .

"According to the provisions of the mobilization order, all retired soldiers who meet the physical standards will be returned to their place of origin. If they have military positions, they will be demoted one level, and the lowest military position will remain unchanged." The recruiting officer picked up a piece of paper on the table. The notice of the general mobilization order was read to Luo Datou, "Sir, this is the intention of the military department and the palace. Why, do you want to take a look? There is His Majesty's royal seal on it!!" The recruiting officer deliberately held it. The general mobilization notice on the table dangled in front of Luo Datou, feeling very proud.

"Damn it, the deputy classmate is the deputy classmate, I did it!!" Luo Datou looked at the red imperial seal of the King of Han on it, his face changed a few times, and then he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Who calls me Luo Datou? I belong to our big man Your Majesty, what is this honor? They are His Majesty’s retainers, unlike some people who are disobedient to ministers and people to the people. In the end, they are just like the big-tailed wolf. There are only two words left, pretending..." As Luo Datou walked, he mocked the recruiting officer just now.

The recruiter's face was very ugly, and he finally had to endure it and uttered:
"Next person……"

And this kind of situation is everywhere in Xijing City. Among them, like Luo Datou, no official was reinstated. Because he was demoted one level, there were noisy and even fights, but in the end, Liu Penggai's seal was still there. Below, surrendered.

From a small conscription, we can see how great the prestige of Han King Liu Peng is in the Han Dynasty. In a word, tens of thousands of people are few.

Except for Xijing, the entire Han Dynasty entered a wartime state.

According to the requirements in the war mobilization order, various places must store enough ammunition for three months of fighting and organize manpower to build fortifications. (This is also Liu Peng's special request. He cannot guarantee whether the war will be won by then, so he can only prepare for a rainy day and defend first)
In addition, those who have retired from military service in various places, except those with physical disabilities, must report. Those who do not report will be deprived of their titles and will not be allowed to serve for three generations.

The Imperial Bank of Han also officially sold treasury bonds. The newly issued batch of 5000 million treasury bonds was immediately sold out, and then it sold a second batch of 5000 million yuan treasury bonds, which are currently selling like hotcakes.

The first batch of 5000 million treasury bonds has been invested in military recruitment, formation, and military production.

In particular, the major arms factories under the Thunder Group have been operating at overload since two days ago, and they are continuously producing weapons and ammunition day and night.

In addition, civilian production team manufacturers have received a large number of orders for military cans, lunch boxes, portable military rations, etc.

Even major bicycle factories in Han have received orders for [-] bicycles.These manufacturers are linked to dozens or hundreds of industries such as steel, rubber, processing and manufacturing, and packaging, involving hundreds of thousands of employees.

With the arrival of the second batch of 5000 million Chinese yuan treasury bonds and subsequent placement on the market, the entire Han Kingdom fell into a deformed war and prosperity.

Kim Jung-woong, a later Korean scholar, wrote in his book "One Hundred Years of the Heroic Han Dynasty":

"The war that took place in the fourth year of Longwu had already plunged the entire Han Dynasty into a strange mood before it even started. The entire market was full of job advertisements, although the entire Longwu era was dominated by the Han economy. The era of fastest growth, but the economy has never developed like a hurricane like the four years of Longwu. According to later statistics, the expansion of steel production capacity in the Han Dynasty in the four years of Longwu was more than double that of the three years of Longwu. As commentators of that period said, the war put Han’s economy on a rocket ship!!”

"The Han Kingdom has ushered in an era that is both addictive and extremely troublesome, an era called wartime economy!!"

.............................................

The Han State General Staff Headquarters, the highest military decision-making body of the Han State, was an organization integrated by Liu Peng in order to unify the entire Han State and divide the army and navy's decision-making.

This agency consisted of the Han army and navy, who took turns serving as chiefs of general staff. (It is also separate from the internal chiefs of staff of each service)

As for the Chief of General Staff of today's meeting, because the current war mainly takes place on land, Army Minister Li Zhaowu presided over it.

Liu Peng listened on the sidelines.

"Your Majesty..." Before Li Zhaowu came to the stage, he bowed deeply to Liu Peng, and then slowly walked onto the stage.

"According to the current peace mechanism of our army, our army has four main brigades, two mixed regiments, and several local regiments."

Li Zhaowu first talked about the current military establishment of the Han State. This establishment mainly continued the establishment during the Han-Mexican War. In the past few years, part of it had been reduced, and it was revised back last year. The main reason was because of the recent changes in the Han State. We have been busy developing the economy for many years. To develop the economy, we must first control military spending.

In recent years, apart from the increase in military expenditure by the Navy, the Army has only increased by less than 20.00%. This is because the salary of Army soldiers has increased and the new Storm Artillery needs to be replaced. Otherwise, it will not even have the 20.00%. It can be seen that the Army has been How it was pressed.

But even so, the Army still finds ways to reduce its military expenditures, including growing its own vegetables, sheep and pigs, raising cattle and sheep, and even the Army has a land of [-] acres around it. Even though the Army's military expenditures are small, I came up with a native method to learn from the ancients to station troops, be self-sufficient, reduce military expenditures, and spend money on training and equipment.

Relying on this, the entire army replaced lightning rifles and new storm artillery.

This is what is left from the mouths of the army soldiers. Talking about it is full of snot and tears.

Fortunately, everything is over, because the war broke out, and the good days of the Han Army came again.

In the words of a lieutenant colonel in the army:

"Thanks to our American friends. If they hadn't started this war, our army would not know how long it would have been. Because of our American friends, now we have more weapons and ammunition, more troops, and then we have If we use those weapons, ammunition, and recruited soldiers to attack the Americans, I believe our American friends will not mind..."

(America: I mind very much!!)

"According to the situation after the general mobilization order was issued, our army has recruited 5 new soldiers. Among these 2 people, 3 are veterans who participated in the Han-Mexican War and can directly form an army, while the remaining [-] are It will take a period of training as a follow-up recruitment."

Li Zhaowu continued to report on the current recruitment situation of Han State after the mobilization order was issued.

Among them, veterans are currently the favorites of the Han army. They can be trained on the battlefield for three days. Some of them can even join the army directly without training at all.

Even those new recruits only need to train for two weeks, which is less than half a month. This is mainly related to the fact that the Han Dynasty favors martial arts. Many people have served as local militiamen. Even those who have not served as militiamen have also shot guns.

You must know that the Han Dynasty started military training in middle school. It was a country that included target shooting and physical education in the examination. Target shooting ensured the military ability of the soldiers, and sports guaranteed the physical fitness of the soldiers. When these two were combined, the soldiers of the Han Kingdom, Just simply train in these military commands and you will be a qualified soldier, even better than the so-called elites in many countries...

After all, for those farmers, bullets are not very cheap, so how can they shoot them often? ?

The Han Dynasty is an industrial country. After the mass production of ammunition, the actual price will be much cheaper, and there will be enough ammunition to feed enough elite soldiers.

"According to the instructions of the Ministry of War, the entire Han Army will be divided into four divisions and three regiments." Li Zhaowu picked up the report on the table and reported to the people present, including Liu Peng, the recent reorganization order of the Army. .

"One of the divisions is divided into five regiments, including three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and one cavalry regiment." Li Zhaowu continued to report on the organization of the division. "Each infantry regiment has grown from less than 2000 people at the earliest to With a scale of 3000 people, the artillery regiment will be downsized by a certain proportion according to the early establishment. The downsizing will be four artillery pieces per artillery regiment. For the missing artillery pieces, an extra base number of artillery shells will be added and logistics personnel will be added." Li Zhaowu reported on the situation of the artillery.

The reason for doing this is because this war is different from the original one. Not only does it span a long time, but it cannot be short. Is it possible to defeat the United States in a short time? But this is if the Americans do not continue to increase their troops. If the Americans continue to increase their troops, no one can guarantee how long this war will last.

Therefore, in order to reduce logistical difficulties and increase the duration of frontline artillery and ammunition strikes, it is inevitable to reduce artillery.

"The cavalry regiment is equipped with a thousand riders and two horses as standard."

The Han Dynasty originally did not send cavalry troops to the infantry. Even if they did, they were scouts, but now they do. This shows how far the Han Dynasty's horse politics has developed in recent years.

The Han Kingdom currently has three major horse farms, Hanzhou, Mobei, and Jiuyuan, raising a total of more than 20 horses. In addition to the annual supply to the people, the best of them are transferred away by the cavalry, which also causes the Han Kingdom There is no shortage of good cavalry horses at all. One man rides two, three rides, everywhere.

"If additional logistics troops are added to such an infantry division, the total number will reach 5000 people!!" At this point, Li Zhaowu's face was obviously proud.

"The cavalry division is composed of five cavalry regiments of 500 men, plus a cavalry artillery regiment." Considering the mobility of the cavalry, the artillery used is still the newly developed six-pound cavalry cannon, but it has been replaced by The latest rifled gun technology.

"In addition, there are three mixed groups. The number of mixed groups has increased from more than 3000 to 5000. One of the mixed groups is the 102 mixed group composed of Japanese samurai immigrants, also called the Samurai Group." Li Zhaowu Continuing to report, "In this way, the total strength of our army in this battle will exceed 7. If we add tens of thousands of new recruits for subsequent training, the total number of our Han army will reach a historic breakthrough of 10..." Li Zhaowu looked excited. said.

(The Han Kingdom was still in its preliminary wartime structure at this time. According to calculations, the Han Kingdom could pull out an army of 50 people at its ultimate moment, or even higher, but then the Han Kingdom would be over)
"Your Majesty, our navy is also on guard to prevent American invaders from invading our waters." Jiang Yucheng knew that it was not the time for the navy to play the leading role, but he still had to express his stance.

"My lords, I haven't tried my sword in the Han Dynasty for three years, and the world doesn't know its sharpness. In this battle, I must tell the Americans and the world clearly that I, a big man, can also rule the roost!!" Liu Peng lectured majesticly. .
