Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

Shen Moshen spoke frankly and sincerely in front of all the officers of the 33rd Division.

As for how many people will listen, that's irrelevant.

Anyway, having obtained the "Absolute Loyalty" function, Shen Moshen had already figured out how to use this function to exploit a system bug.

According to the description of the "Absolute Loyalty" feature, all troops assembled and recruited by Shen Moshen will maintain 100% loyalty to him.

That makes things much easier. Shen Moshen directly announced that the designation of the 33rd Division of the Daqian New Army was to be revoked on the spot.

Then it was announced that the 33rd Division of the Daqian New Army, which had been decommissioned, would be reorganized into the 33rd Reorganized Division of the Daqian New Army...

Despite all this back and forth, the 33rd Division remains the same 33rd Division.

However, the system's definition meets the triggering conditions for "absolute loyalty".

After taking Youdu, Shen Moshen also completed the S-level mission: [Occupy the Capital], and received generous rewards - [High-Quality Copper Mine] x1, [Large Steel Mill] x1, [Basic Armory] x1.

In addition, this task also directly gave Shen Moshen a reward of 1000 task points.

The reorganized 33rd Reorganized Division was divided into four brigades by Shen Moshen.

The 398th Regiment was directly upgraded by Shen Moshen to the 398th Brigade to specifically house the system troops.

Then, Shen Moshen sent an official letter to the Imperial Military Affairs Department in accordance with regulations.

Soon, the official appointments from the Imperial Military Affairs Department and the capital were issued—Shen Moshen was granted the rank of Lieutenant General of the Daqian New Army and appointed as the commander of the 33rd Division of the Daqian New Army, concurrently serving as the military governor of Youzhou.

That's the process.

The capital city does not interfere in the struggles between local warlords.

When a vacancy arises in the position of provincial military governor, the winning side only needs to notify the capital of the result.

Then, the capital city will go through the formality of the appointment process.

The capital city doesn't care what methods you used to get to your position; as long as you have the ability, you can give it a shot.

It is said that a few years ago, the position of military governor in a certain province was changed four times in one month!

The authorities in Beijing went through the process four times in a row.

It's not much trouble at all; it's just changing a name on the letter of appointment...

Therefore, Shen Moshen's appointment as the military governor of Youzhou did not attract much attention in the capital.

If this happened in another province, and a new warlord unexpectedly seized the position of military governor, it might have drawn the attention of the capital.

However, the capital city simply couldn't be bothered with Youzhou, which was located in a remote and extremely impoverished area.

However, this was an ideal situation for Shen Moshen, who wanted to develop his career in Youzhou..........................

-------------------------------------

With the official conferment of ranks and appointments, Shen Moshen completed several tasks and received several new achievement titles.

This also earned Shen Moshen a considerable amount of mission points and mission rewards.

Among them, the S+ level mission "Hero of Chaos" rewards a "Welfare Intelligence Gift Pack" that makes up for Shen Moshen's lack of expertise in special intelligence.

[Bonus Intelligence Package]: After use, the host will receive a professional-grade intelligence network covering all thirty-six provinces of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Based on this, Shen Moshen immediately and secretly established a secret intelligence department.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!"

The importance of intelligence is beyond doubt.

Even without receiving this super reward, Shen Moshen, who successfully became the military governor of Youzhou, still had to put a lot of effort into his intelligence network.

Throughout history, intelligence has been a crucial factor influencing the outcome of wars.

The timeliness and accuracy of intelligence are also important indicators of comprehensive strength.

Therefore, Shen Moshen, as a time traveler, has a strong obsession with building a powerful and professional intelligence agency.

With the system's support, Shen Moshen quickly gained the ability to keep track of major and minor events in various provinces of the Great Qian Dynasty without leaving his home.

The secret intelligence department reports directly to Shen Moshen.

Intelligence points scattered across various provinces would transmit intelligence back to the secret intelligence office via coded telegrams.

Then, the secret intelligence department would regularly give Shen Moshen separate intelligence reports.

The Battle of Youdu allowed Shen Moshen to firmly establish himself in Youzhou.

This also made officers like Gu Xingbang, whose tactical thinking was seriously outdated, realize with absolute clarity the power of advanced tactical thinking and multi-service coordinated operations.

This backward situation definitely needs to be changed urgently.

Therefore, while establishing the secret intelligence department, Shen Moshen also set up three military academies in Youzhou in one go—the Youzhou Army Military Academy, the Youzhou Navy Military Academy, and the Youzhou Air Force Military Academy.

This also shows that Shen Moshen's goal is very clear - to achieve comprehensive development in the sea, land and air!

From this moment forward, we must do everything in our power to cultivate talent for the three armed forces, so as to make full preparations for future struggles for supremacy.

The reward Shen Moshen received for completing "Popular Support 10"—the "Military Instructor Corps" x1—came in handy.

After exchanging the money, Shen Moshen directly assigned the corresponding instructors to the Youzhou Army Military Academy, Youzhou Navy Military Academy, and Youzhou Air Force Military Academy to serve as the initial teaching staff for the three academies.

The professional instructor team produced by the system is undoubtedly highly professional.

In addition to the three military academies, Shen Moshen also established a pilot training base, a naval training base, an armored forces training base, and an artillery training base.

These four training bases were established specifically to cultivate skilled professionals.

Because, in Shen Moshen's plan to strengthen the military, the future Youzhou army will definitely need a large number of professional talents such as pilots, sailors, and gunners.

Otherwise, it would be incredibly awkward if, after airplanes, tanks, warships, and artillery were mass-produced, there weren't enough pilots, tank crews, and other skilled personnel to operate and operate these machines...

In light of the historical context of this world, Shen Moshen formulated a four-character strategy for his Youzhou army.

That is—firepower is paramount!

Cannons are the only truth!

Shen Moshen's definition of the Youzhou Army is—a heavily armed force that will never have a problem with insufficient firepower!

From then on, the Youzhou army's combat mode was: airplanes in the sky, tanks and artillery on the ground, and warships at sea.

The correct operational procedure is: aerial bombardment first, artillery bombardment to warm up the ground, and then a ground offensive in coordination with tanks and infantry to follow up!
