Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

Ding Wei's troops had already been changing their equipment, but during the process, there was no mandatory update of equipment.

This process is relatively slow.

It’s not because there are not enough semi-automatic weapons, nor is it because the production capacity of military factories cannot keep up.

The soldiers in the army are used to using one kind of weapon. If you rashly update all of them, what will you do if a war breaks out?

The deployment of any weapon and equipment has a process, which is gradual and incremental.

In addition, where are the Japanese, Soviet and American weapons equipped by the troops stored after they are replaced?

Should they be directly sent back for re-production or replaced with other troops?

Everything has a process.

In addition, the updating of weapons and equipment is often accompanied by the reorganization of motorized infantry and mechanized ones.

Automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles, individual rocket launchers, squad machine guns, RPD light machine guns, etc. require relatively strong logistical capabilities.

There is no point in giving equipment to the troops before they are motorized or even mechanized.

If the logistics can't keep up, what's the point of equipping a bunch of automatic rifles?

With only 70 people, it would be very easy to replace a batch of semi-automatic machines. Just pull them from the military factory and distribute them to the soldiers.

However, it is not easy to build a complete logistics system and improve mobility.

It involves tens of thousands of trucks, cars, armored personnel carriers, tanks, self-propelled artillery, vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, etc.

This involves new types of troops, including corresponding drivers, armored troops, modern artillery troops, rocket troops, pilots, amphibious combat troops, paratroopers, etc., who need to be trained uniformly and assigned to various units.

Simply replacing a batch of guns doesn't make much sense.

If we want to change, we must completely innovate from the root.

Manchuria has the conditions and Ding Wei also has the strength, so the combat effectiveness of the troops at his disposal is naturally immeasurable.

Before he came to Nanjing from Manchuria, the last unit had completed the reorganization into motorized infantry, which also meant that the equipment replacement of Manchuria's 70 troops was completed.

Ding Wei didn't think Li Yunlong's request was a difficult task.

It was just a batch of semi-automatic rifles to equip his C Army, and the military factory could supply them in half a month.

The Type 38 rifle has become a thing of the past.

The next step is to re-equip the troops in southern Yunnan, and this step will be carried out very quickly.

Because there are many mountains and rivers over there, the road is difficult to travel.

Both motorized infantry and mechanization are difficult to achieve, so we first throw a wave of new rifles over, and let Zhang Dabiao find a way to solve the logistics problem.

There are also military factories in southern Yunnan, and the technology, drawings and means of production have all been synchronized.

There is no need for Manchuria to step in, Zhang Dabiao can handle it all on his own.

Two to three million semi-automatic rifles and more than one million automatic rifles should be able to supply the entire army of Longguo.

According to the information revealed by the dean and Ding Wei's judgment of the overall situation.

Once the war on the peninsula is resolved, the various armies will inevitably be optimized.

Streamline administration and develop the economy.

The 600 million troops will be reduced by one third to 400 million.

400 million people, excluding various arms, the remaining infantry, aren’t 300 million rifles enough?

The two drank until midnight, then went back to sleep in a slightly tipsy state.

The next morning, there was another piece of good news.

Even the Yamashiro cruiser, which was repaired in Lugang, passed the test of going to sea.

The cruiser's captain, Wang Chao, applied to the Northern Fleet Command for permission to go out to sea for trials.

Going out to sea means going beyond our coastline and heading to the high seas.

Go beyond the range of near-shore combat and head onto the real sea water.

In the name of Commander of the Northern Fleet, Ding Wei approved the application for the sea trial and approved three submarines, four frigates, two missile boats and two supply ships as escort for the sea trial.

This good news was conveyed simultaneously through radio, broadcast and newspapers to people across the country who were concerned about naval construction.

A mere light cruiser is not worth promoting at all for the Americans.

The United States is now the undisputed overlord of the sea.

They have 27 aircraft carriers, all of which are real aircraft carriers, not the cheap ones converted from merchant ships like the Japanese.

It has 4 battleships, 18 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, 251 destroyers, and 84 frigates.

He has more ships than all other countries combined.

The Yamashiro was just a cruiser that was almost outdated before World War II. Is it worth bragging about?

Because Ding Wei intentionally released the news, he could easily obtain intelligence.

Countries are skeptical about this matter.

The Yamashiro sank during the Civil War, and the conditions for its repair were harsh, requiring corresponding naval technology.

But Longguo has no navy.

Where does the naval technology come from? Where does the technology come from to repair the cruiser?

Even the experts of the Russian bear are considered to be second-rate guys in the eyes of the Americans.

It had long been determined that the cruiser could not be repaired.

What was determined to be impossible was accomplished by Longguo. Believe it or not, the Shancheng is about to go to sea.

This has attracted strong attention from a group of people led by Eagle Sauce. Jam is particularly concerned. Once Dragon Country breaks through the blockade at sea, things will be difficult in the future.

The fleet of the big daddy was anchored near the coast, providing layers of protection and destroyers. Thanks to the generosity of the big daddy of the eagle sauce, the navy of the jam is still quite strong.

Before the Yamashiro was repaired, we didn't even have a destroyer.

Any destroyer can go to the coast to show off its power, come with high spirits, and leave with high spirits.

There is nothing to be done about this provocation.

Without a navy, there is no sea power; this is inevitable.

Wang Chao personally commanded the warship. Of course, he had the guidance of instructors from Sakura and Mao Xiong behind him, and he learned a lot of knowledge about warships.

He was originally the commander of the army, but was transferred by Ding Wei and forced into the position of captain of the cruiser. His purpose was to win the rank of admiral by relying on this cruiser of extraordinary significance.

His background is problematic. If he does not have anything particularly commendable, he will definitely not be able to reach the rank of general, let alone lieutenant general.

Ding Wei's rank of Marshal of the Arms was obviously too low. His contributions to the fight against the Japanese, construction, and the civil war were no worse than those of others.

Precisely because his rank was too low, Wang Chao and Gao Qing were promoted to generals in disguise to make up for it.

A temporary formation was formed and equipped with live ammunition.

If you encounter provocation, you can fight back.

Not only should we send the cruisers to sea, but we should also return with confidence in full view of the enemy, proving that our navy has been built from scratch and is now capable of fighting at sea.

The construction of the navy has achieved a very critical step. The popularity of the 17 tons of gold destroyer last year has not yet faded. At the beginning of this year, a cruiser that we repaired ourselves was launched.

The ship broke through the waves and sailed from Lianlu Port, aiming to dock in Shanghai and complete the patrol of this coastline.

Along the way, we passed the Navy Headquarters, where the two commanders and deputy commanders also boarded the ship.

The mood is unusual.

Thousands of ordinary people rushed to the coast to observe the naval vessels, with red flags flying and huge crowds of people.

Patriotism, the desire to protect the country, the desire to serve the country! !

The offensive and defensive situation at sea is about to be reversed. From today on, the enemy can go there, and I can go there too.

As long as the Eagle Sauce does not interfere, the Dragon Fleet can move freely in the Western Pacific.
