The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 555 National Defense Forces and National Guard

After the flag-giving ceremony, there is a final link—the awarding ceremony.

The main recipients of the awarding ceremony are all recruits.After more than half a year of hard training, they passed the trial of suppressing bandits again, which proved their courage and determination and became real fighters.

Recruits are divided into companies, and the company commander of each company personally confers the rank of private to all recruits in the company.

The greatest wish of recruits has always been to get rid of the identity of recruits as soon as possible and become a real soldier.Therefore, when Army Commander Bai Mu announced the start of the awarding ceremony, many people were stunned and then ecstatic.

The sense of honor of this army has been initially established, so this kind of identity recognition and promotion is of great significance to these recruits.

Every recruit whose name is called will agree with the loudest voice, and then walk up to the company commander with a standard goose step, salute, and then the company commander personally wears a collar badge representing the identity of a private.

Although the conferring ceremony was carried out by each company at the same time, it took a lot of time.

This awarding ceremony is sacred and exciting to the recruits and the New First Army.But for those ministers who came to watch the ceremony, it was boring.

Except for a few people who thought about the excitement shown by these soldiers, most of them seemed a little bored.

But looking at the figure standing upright in the front all the time, even if they don't want to, they have to endure it.

The autumn wind is already quite chilly, with gusts of wind blowing from time to time, the robes of the officials and the flag of the First Army are all crackling in the wind, some elderly and frail officials can't hold it anymore, they start to cough and tremble, But no one dared to speak.

Finally, the conferring ceremonies of all the companies were over, and the soldiers who put on the new rank badges were not tired at all, but even more energetic.

Jiang Chuan's eyes turned to the red flag fluttering in the middle of the school field, and his heart was surging for a while.

The goal of building a new army of pure firearms has already taken a solid step.If you take this step well, you will be able to take a hundred steps, a thousand steps, or countless steps in the future.

At present, although the army's military system, organization, and weapons are somewhat chaotic, the old and new military systems, new and old weapons, new and old tactics, new and old training methods, and new and old military cultures all exist at the same time.

This is a process that must be experienced, and it is impossible to complete the reorganization of all armies at the same time.If it is carried out at the same time, it is very likely to cause confusion, resulting in a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army, and giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So Jiang Chuan adopted the strategy of walking on two legs to carry out this matter.

His ultimate goal is to reorganize all the existing direct-line troops into new-style troops and integrate them into the battle order of the National Defense Forces.

Moreover, the armed forces under him should also be divided into levels: the national defense force, as the main armed force, is responsible for guarding the country and resisting foreign aggression.

The National Guard, as an auxiliary armed force, is responsible for local defense, suppressing bandits, and calming down local security and other tasks.

The main source of troops for the National Defense Forces is the veterans of the Qin Army plus ordinary recruits. The veterans are the backbone and the recruits are flesh and blood. They are formed together to ensure the purity and loyalty of the army.

The National Guard is different. After all, it belongs to the garrison and the combat intensity is not high, so the requirements will be lower.

According to Jiang Chuan's expectation, the army and backbone of the National Guard are composed of injured and retired veterans of the National Defense Forces, and the soldiers are composed of young people of the right age who have been screened out by the National Defense Forces.Even some captives or green forest people can be added when appropriate.

Because of the difference in combat objectives and intensity, compared with the National Guard, the national defense force will naturally be higher in all aspects, whether it is weapons and equipment, or personnel cooperation, training level, and military pay.

This is also a disguised form of encouraging young people of the right age to actively participate in the National Defense Forces.

But it doesn't mean that anyone can join the National Guard, and there are certain standards.

It can be said that when the time comes, the country's armed forces will be divided into two parts, two different systems, and the personnel in charge will naturally also be separated.

But in the end, there is no doubt that the supreme command of the two forces is in the hands of Jiang Chuan.

Of course, such a huge army cannot be fully controlled and commanded by Jiang Chuan alone, so it is natural to establish a matching central command system.

Jiang Chuan's idea is to establish the Supreme Command, with himself as the Supreme Commander.The executive organization under the Supreme Command is the General Staff Headquarters. The chief of the General Staff is the Chief of the General Staff. Below it are the General Office of the General Staff Headquarters, the General Logistics Bureau, the General Operations Bureau, the General Intelligence Bureau, the National Defense Mobilization Bureau, and the Equipment Development Bureau. department.

The main task of the General Staff is to form and manage the army and mobilize the army, but it has no battlefield command.

The establishment of the National Defense Forces and the National Guard requires both a central supreme command system and, of course, a local command system.

Jiang Chuan has also considered this point. The current preliminary idea is to establish ten theaters in the entire Zhongzhou in the future, each theater will have a theater commander, and how many troops will be under each theater.

The establishment of theaters is based on geographic location, for example: Gyeonggi Theater, Liaodong Theater, Liaoxi Theater, Central Plains Theater, Jiangnan Theater, Northwest Theater, Northern Theater, Southwest Theater, Southeast Theater, Jinling Theater.

Liaodong has a vast area, and it is also adjacent to the three kingdoms of Korea, and there are stills of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. More importantly, it is the foundation of Jiangchuan, so it is natural to set up two theaters.

In addition, the Gyeonggi theater and the Jinling theater correspond to the northern and southern capitals, and the others are set according to geographical orientation.

All the above mentioned is the establishment of the army, and the navy is not mentioned.

In the Zhongzhou Continent, which faces the sea on both sides, the importance of the navy is beyond doubt.

According to Jiang Chuan's vision, the navy will inevitably be upgraded to a navy in the future.

The navy is also divided into several fleets according to different combat sea areas, and there are detachments, squadrons, etc. under these fleets.

According to the current strategic situation of Zhongzhou Continent, if a foreign enemy invades, the oceans on both sides may be the direction of the enemy's invasion.

Therefore, the seas to the east of the mainland need to form the Atlantic Fleet, while the seas to the west of the mainland need to form the Pacific Fleet.

This is the most basic consideration.

Of course, the above ideas are still on paper for the time being, and have not yet been implemented on Jiang Chuan's desk.

The first is the issue of money. Although the reform of the currency system has begun to be implemented smoothly, and the capital and surrounding areas of Gyeonggi have also begun to accept legal currency under measures such as compulsory policies and bank credit guarantees, it will take quite a while for the real implementation.

Secondly, although Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are already in the afterglow of the setting sun, they have not yet completely failed.

Moreover, there is another Zheng family on the southeast coast that is ready to move, followed by the British guy to instigate.

The interior of the imperial court looks stable on the surface, but there are always some restless guys waiting for an opportunity to move.

What an eventful year.
