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

Zhong Zhicheng has basically always served as Ding Wei's deputy, and he has been the one to resolve many issues.

Ding Wei set the main tone, and Zhong Zhicheng took the lead in implementing it.

Then, the military commanders and other independent officers will be responsible for coordinating the implementation.

Zhang Dabiao, Zhou Weiguo, Gao Qing, Sun Desheng, Wang Chao, Wang Tao, Kong Yong and others have all been trained to be able to stand on their own.

This time, the headquarters issued a separate document directed to each military region, demanding the reduction of some troops, which is an ironclad requirement.

It doesn't seem reasonable to reduce any of them.

Ding Wei leaned back in his chair and conveyed his thoughts to Zhong Zhicheng. What he called one without reduction is relative.

"Among the troops we have, except for the hard-core personnel who have been through many battles, most of them can be eliminated. Infantry is the least valuable, but it is indispensable."

"According to the firepower of our Fangchuan gunboat, one shot is enough to defeat an infantry platoon."

"The overall military strength remains the same, but the number of arms has increased. The number of arms involved, such as the Air Force, Navy, and Army, has increased. Not only can we not reduce the number of personnel, but we must also increase the corresponding special forces."

"Young cadres trained in military academies in Manchuria should also be poured into the army to replace the old cadres and the illiterate cadres."

Innovating is an inevitable process. Many people were forced to take up arms and fight against the devils, the jams, and the Eagle Sauces.

In the end, just say you don’t need him anymore and kick him out?

This is emotionless behavior.

"We should first arrange for those who are tired of the war and those who have been injured in the war to be placed in the railway troops system. Our railway construction is in need of soldiers who are willing to work hard. These people are the backbone of the construction."

"The benefits should be improved, the demobilized soldiers' allowances should be increased, and the wounded soldiers' allowances should also be increased. I, Ding Wei, can still afford this part of the money."

Soldiers who are suitable for railway troops are selected from the original troops and transferred to the logistics system.

New officers will be recruited from graduating military academy students to strengthen cultural construction and comprehensive quality building.

The ratio of officers to soldiers must be increased and all useless government agencies and units must be abolished.

If these are accomplished, Manchuria will not need to cut any troops and will still be able to meet construction requirements.

The two troops of Sun Desheng and Zhou Weiguo cannot be moved, and the troops of Gao Qing, Kong Yong and Wang Tao's three armies cannot be moved either.

These are the backbones under Ding Wei's command. Some of them can be demobilized and sent back to their hometowns to be assigned positions. The rest of the troops cannot be moved.

The corps that originally absorbed the Manchurian puppet troops could consider transferring a large number of them to the railway system, thereby freeing up 3-5 divisions of troops and re-forming new troops.

In order to expand the air force system, it is necessary to absorb pilots from various military regions.

Currently there are only more than 10 people, and it needs to be expanded to at least people.

The Northern Fleet also needs to be expanded. The entire naval system still has too many ships and too few people, and its technology is low. It needs to absorb more naval personnel and naval officers.

The Northern Fleet alone must have a size of at least 7 to 10 people.

Not only combat personnel are needed, but also the supporting logistics system, ground maintenance system, port maintenance personnel, etc., all need to be expanded.

The Northern Fleet will have 10 personnel and will be completed in the next 1-3 years.

The Air Force system will initially expand by 10 personnel, with plans to retain 30 personnel in the future, and construction will be completed in the next 2-5 years.

The mechanized forces in Manchuria are maintained at 70, of which 15 need to be reorganized into missile forces to form the Manchurian Rocket Force.

The remaining 50 people need to be reorganized into tank armored divisions and mechanized combat forces.

The future goal is of course a heavy-armored combined-armor brigade, the ultimate means of suppressing everything with firepower. Now we need to pave the way for the heavy-armored combined-armor brigade and realize the mechanization, armored forces, and informationized warfare of the troops.

Regardless of other military regions in the country, Ding Wei, who controls military factories and possesses a large amount of industrial resources, will definitely be one step ahead.

While other armies had barely begun to motorize infantry, the Manchurian armies had already achieved a large degree of mechanization. Each division was equipped with an armored regiment, more than 50 tanks, and more than 300 vehicles.

They began to frequently replace self-propelled artillery, howitzer self-propelled tracked vehicles, vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, towed mortars, etc.

Since artillery, tanks and cars can all be produced by ourselves, we can equip ourselves by pulling out one.

No one else can compare with this. The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Ding Wei has an advanced military factory, which other military regions in Longguo cannot compare with.

Asking Ding Wei to cut back on troops at this time would be no joke.

There is no change in the number of troops going in and out, but Zhong Zhicheng needs to prepare the wording.

The infantry will be reduced by 30 people, the Rocket Force will be newly recruited by 15 people, the Air Force will be newly recruited by 15 people, and the Northern Fleet Navy will be increased by 5 people.

The railway troops system increased by more than 30 people.

All in all, there were 75 standing troops and more than 50 railway troops left in Manchuria.

The Railway Corps ostensibly belongs to the logistics system and the railway system. It is usually managed in a militarized manner and is used for railway construction and maintenance.

But when the critical moment comes, they can be equipped with weapons and equipment and serve as reserve forces.

The Railway Corps does not belong to the Army system and is able to be self-sufficient.

The goal of supporting itself is achieved through railway construction, logistics management, and logistics transportation, and does not rely on military spending.

From this perspective, Manchuria has cut back on 30 troops, and no one can say anything about it.

There is no way, because Manchuria’s railway system is the most developed. Now it has absorbed some of the Japanese technology and achieved a round of speed increase.

The Ministry of Railways, under the control of Wang Tao, is already able to promote its mature experience to the south.

To build more railway lines and maintain old railways, a huge workforce and engineering capabilities are needed. Hundreds of thousands of people are definitely not enough, and more people will have to be recruited in the future.

Zhong Zhicheng really admires Ding Wei, the other party has a backup plan.

Gao Qing led three armies of troops to garrison in northern Korea, and they were not included in the first batch of Dragon Kingdom troops returning home.

In order to stabilize the situation, some troops must be retained to delay their return home. The troops of these three armies can wait one or two years before returning to Manchuria.

By then, with the launch of the new DD destroyer, North Korea will have to reconsider who has the final say. Whether this force should be withdrawn or not, outsiders have no say.

All together, it is equivalent to removing 45 infantry troops. Who dares to say that Ding Wei did not set an example?

As for southern Yunnan controlled by Zhang Dabiao, there were only about 30 troops at the beginning. Several column commanders were reorganized into armies, and the original Yunnan Army revolted and surrendered.

With Zhang Dabiao's methods, if you don't pay attention, he can pull out hundreds of thousands of people.

This part of the force does need to be streamlined. It is sufficient to keep the army at 20, increase the inland fleet and amphibious combat forces by 3, and increase the air force by 2.

Build the Southern Yunnan Air Force Base to carry out patrol and protection missions on the southern border.

The main people here are Commander Zhang Dabiao, Deputy Commander Lu Yun, and three capable army commanders, who were reorganized into armies by the original column commanders.

Da Huang, Z Wei and Ke Lin served as army commanders respectively. Southern Yunnan had the strength of 5 armies, plus the air and inland forces, which was enough to deal with the situation.
