August 21st, Year 602 of the Holy Light Calendar, Lanhu City, Anphiston State, Overseas Autonomous Territory.
Dominion Military Region Headquarters, this is the first meeting of senior officers of the military region held after the handover of military affairs between Claude and Marshal Bolognik. At this meeting, Claude carried out drastic reforms to the institutions of the military region headquarters, streamlined, reorganized and split the various subordinate institutions of the military region headquarters, reorganized them into twelve departments and a medical center, and appointed heads of various departments.
In this departmental restructuring, the biggest impact was on the former Military Region Logistics Department, which was split into the Equipment Department, the Security Department, the Finance Department and the Personnel Department. Next was the Military Intelligence Department, which spun off a Surveying and Mapping Department. In addition, the Administrative Department was also reorganized into the Training Department and the Military and Political Department. Although there are several more subordinate departments, the powers of each department are unified and their responsibilities are clearly defined. At the same time, some redundant administrative and civil servants were also streamlined, reducing the past bureaucratic habit of shuffling things around.
"Lieutenant General Mike Jack will serve as the general manager of the military region headquarters and handle the daily official affairs of the headquarters. Next, we will conduct experimental organizational reforms for the two corps under the military region and re-examine a troop organization that is consistent with the actual situation. In addition, military intelligence The ministry should increase its efforts to collect intelligence from the eight colonies on the west coast and pay attention to the implementation of the wildfire plan..."
For Claude, during this organizational adjustment of the military region headquarters, most of the generals who were added and replaced as heads of departments were from the Thunder Legion. The eight major generals and three lieutenant generals of the kingdom who retired this time are all members of the Rock Legion and are subordinates of Marshal Bolognik. This is not that Claude is excluding dissidents, but the result of differences in employment.
Claude is the youngest of the five giants in the Dominion Military Region. The officers he promoted in the Thunder Legion are also young, flexible in mind, and good at accepting the evolution of new ideas and tactics. The older senior officers who do not know how to adapt are all defeated. Lord was transferred to the local garrison, which is one of the reasons why the Thunder Legion is good at attacking.
Marshal Bolognik was originally more than ten years older than Claude. His Rock Legion was good at defense, so the officers he appointed were all mature and steady men, about the same age as him. Some were even older than Marshal Bolognik, over fifty-five years old. Now they have been promoted to generals of the kingdom, and have become barons of the kingdom. They have obtained a hereditary family territory. It can be said that they have reached the pinnacle of a kingdom's soldiers, so they decided to retire.
Young officers are energetic and adventurous. Older officers are steady and confident in their work, and each has its own strengths. This is also the reason why the two military regions of the autonomous military region have each formed their own combat characteristics. However, this time the older senior generals of the Rock Legion retired collectively, which did a great favor to Claude and freed up positions for the younger successors. Otherwise, Claude can only prepare to recruit these old men into the military headquarters and enshrine them in the name of consultants...
After finishing the establishment of various departments and agencies under the military region headquarters, Claude devoted his attention to the reform of the army establishment. Since all the troops under the Dominion Military Region, whether it is the two main legions or the local garrison, have been equipped with new rifles and new artillery, the logistics pressure has been extremely huge. And Claude also prepared to carry out major surgery on the troop organization based on his experience in fighting the alliance army in the Nasseri area.
At present, the two main legions and local garrison forces under the Dominion still use the traditional matchlock unit organization. In view of the traditional habit of relying on salvos for firepower and relying on large numbers of soldiers for combat power, the organization of each unit is based on expanding the number of troops as much as possible. host. For example, the combat organization of a small team of twelve people has reached the limit of the troops that a sergeant major can command.
Claude has always felt that the establishment of a grassroots combat team of twelve people is very bloated. With the new muskets, the firepower of the grassroots combat team has been greatly enhanced. It is difficult to ensure flexibility and speed when the team is organized into twelve people. Battlefield command response. So he decided to reorganize the grassroots combat team into eight people, with the team leader being the sergeant major and the deputy captain being the sergeant.
In addition, Claude also wants to change all establishments to a three-three system instead of the current four-four system, that is, three squadrons are one squadron, three squadrons are one squadron, three squadrons are one battalion, and three battalions are one regiment. Three regiments form one division, and three divisions form one army. However, this move was opposed by most senior staff officers of the Military Region Staff Department. They were worried that such an adaptation would make the grassroots troops lack sufficient combat power. Claude thought about it, and after careful consideration, he decided to adopt the four-four system.
There are eight people in a small team, and four small teams form a squadron. The squadron leader is a second lieutenant officer, equipped with an orderly who can also be used as an orderly, a guard, a communications soldier, and a medical soldier, a total of thirty-seven people. . The fourth squadron is a first squadron. The captain is a lieutenant or captain officer. It is equipped with an orderly, two guards, a communications soldier, a medical soldier, an artillery team of six people, and is equipped with a new infantry light field artillery. Total for one hundred and sixty persons.
The four brigades form a battalion. The battalion commander is a captain or major officer. It is equipped with one orderly, one adjutant, three guards, six staff officers, 12 auxiliary personnel, a logistics service team of eight people, and a communications team of eight people. There are eight people in a military law team, eight people in a logistics team, eight people in a medical team, eight people in a security team, and thirty people in an artillery squadron. They are equipped with four new infantry light field artillery, totaling 740 people.
Four battalions form a regiment. The regiment is headed by a lieutenant colonel or colonel. It is equipped with an adjutant and an orderly. The regiment headquarters is equipped with 16 staff officers and 32 auxiliary personnel. There is also a communications squadron, a military law squadron, a logistics squadron, a security squadron, a logistics service squadron, a guard squadron, a medical team of eight people, a directly affiliated field brigade of 160 people, and an artillery brigade of 140 people. Five people, equipped with 16 infantry light field artillery, totaling 3,485 people, plus 15 mobile quotas, totaling 3,500 people for a main field regiment.
Four regiments form one division, and the division commander is a colonel or major general, with one adjutant and one orderly. Starting from the division, the headquarters, like the military region, is divided into twelve departments. Each department has two chief and deputy supervisors, four civilian officers, and 12 auxiliary personnel, totaling 216 people. The division headquarters has a guard brigade, a communications brigade, a military law brigade, a garrison brigade, a logistics service brigade, a logistics execution brigade, two logistics baggage transport brigade, and a medical squadron of thirty-five people.
In addition, the division headquarters also has a directly affiliated field reinforcement independent battalion of 800 people, a directly affiliated artillery battalion of 680 people, and is equipped with 64 infantry light field artillery pieces. The total strength of a main field division is more than 17,000 people. If non-combat personnel such as hired grooms, veterinarians and chefs are added, the total strength of the division is about 18,000.
Claude knew very well that the current divisions of the two main field armies in the Dominion Military District were about 35,000 people. There were too many troops, and non-combatants accounted for one-third of the quota. It seemed that the command structure was very weak. It is bloated, very inflexible, and puts great pressure on the supply of logistical military supplies.
Just like in the Battle of the Royal City of Polyvisia, Claude used a regiment of troops to fight against the attack of a legion of the Alliance army. Even with the bonus of defensive positions and city walls, he was still at a great disadvantage in terms of strength, resulting in caused many unnecessary casualties. That would be impossible. On the one hand, there are few troops on hand. The most important thing is to send one division to deal with the enemy's army. It seems to be overkill, and it is easy to drive the enemy away and finally unable to enter the trap set...
And one regiment has only 5,500 troops, which is too disparity to deal with the enemy's army of more than 60,000 troops. Sending two regiments up is easy for the enemy to find opportunities to take advantage of due to different command. At that time, Claude hoped to have a division with 10,000 to 20,000 troops so that he could command the defense with ease...
Claude has now reduced one division to more than 18,000 men, almost reducing the existing division's strength by half. If it is organized in this way, even if there are four divisions in one legion, plus two regiments directly under it, the total strength will be No more than 90,000. Compared with the current 150,000 troops in the four divisions of the Thunder Legion, the pressure on both military expenditures and logistical supplies has been reduced a lot. At the same time, it has also solved the problem of job placement for promoted generals in the overseas autonomous military regions.
After completing the military restructuring, the troops could not be reduced immediately. Claude used the third division of the Rock Corps that guarded the overseas autonomous territories and the three directly affiliated regiments of the military region to conduct adaptation experiments, allowing older soldiers and officers to retire one after another. , Claude formed the first division of more than 18,000 troops, conducted various drills and training, tested the impact of the new military system on combat effectiveness, various responses to the command system, etc... .
The day passed quickly in the busy schedule, and soon Claude received a falcon message jointly signed by Colonel Boker and his younger brother Blovik. After a two-month arduous journey, their group finally opened a trail in the inland wilderness and mountains to the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik on the west coast, and met the mixed-race baron Tez Singh. .Nora Taganem picked up the head and met.
Tezzinger Nora Taghanem was very happy to receive the support of the overseas autonomous territories. He agreed to establish the Pamigar National Independent Liberation Front and was willing to spend all his money to recruit young people to form the Liberation Front. The only difficulty is that these young Pamigal people have never received any military training. They need more than half a year to complete military training and form combat effectiveness before they can launch an armed uprising.
Perhaps this time is too long for overseas autonomous territories, and tens of thousands of Pamigal people gathering together for training can easily be discovered by the colonial garrison of the Kingdom of Morosik. His younger brother Blovik made a suggestion. It would be best to recruit volunteers from overseas autonomous territories to help the Pamigal people fight. They would first lay down a piece of land to establish a government to make a big splash, and also buy time for the young men to train in the military. The only option was to fight on the sidelines. Only by training side by side can you achieve the best training effect.
For Claude, the problem of the Wildfire Plan is not how to set off a wave of national liberation and independent nation-building in the colonies on the west coast, but how to prevent the eight colonial countries in the southern part of Farea from targeting overseas autonomous territories. The officers and volunteers sent to teach the Pamigal people military training are not a problem. The problem is that the personnel who go there cannot fight with new rifles, new artillery and other weapons from overseas autonomous territories.
On the one hand, ammunition supply is inconvenient. On the other hand, if these new weapons fall into the hands of the colonial garrison of the Morosik Kingdom, the overseas autonomous territories will be unable to defend themselves. Everyone knows that these new weapons are produced by overseas autonomous territories themselves and are never sold to outsiders. The discovery of these weapons among the rioting Pamigal people will easily reveal that the overseas dominions were behind the instigation and support of the Pamigal riot...
Therefore, even if the Wildfire Plan is implemented by the Dominion Military Region to support the independence and liberation movements of various ethnic groups in the colonies on the West Coast, the arms sent to these ethnic groups by the Dominion Military Region can still only be matchlock guns, and at most some grenades. New weapons must not be sent of.
It's just that the Dominion Military Region doesn't have many matchlock guns anymore. The once most advanced Obash Type III standard matchlock guns have been packaged and shipped back to the Kingdom by the Dominion Military Region to support the Kingdom's three ace field regiments in their fight against the Alliance army. Even if the war in the kingdom is over now, the Dominion Military Region cannot get these matchlock guns back...
In the end, Claude had no choice but to find Mr. Veblen and ask his military manufacturing industry to work overtime to manufacture 100,000 precision-aimed matchlock guns within two months. The Dominion Military Region was waiting for urgent use.
However, having a matchlock gun is not the end of the problem for Claude, but the beginning of troubles, because the Dominion soldiers who are accustomed to using new rifles are not willing to pick up the matchlock gun again to fight. This recruitment of volunteers to help Fighting became a problem for the Pamigals.
At a seminar held at the military district headquarters, senior staff officer General Derivic put forward a suggestion, that is, whether those Hicks prisoners in the autonomous territories could be recruited to form a volunteer division to help the Pamigal people gain national liberation and establish an independent country. victory...
General Derivic had three reasons. One is that these Hicks prisoners have completed their labor service and are now free men. This is just because the Hicks Kingdom and the Overas Kingdom have not yet signed an armistice and peace agreement, and the war has not ended. There is a state of war, so I cannot return home. If they were willing to volunteer to help the Pamigal people, there was no reason for anyone to stop them.
Second, these freed Hicks prisoners were accustomed to using matchlocks, so there was no problem in going to the battlefield with matchlocks after a short training.
The third is the most critical point. There are more than 100,000 Hicks prisoners who want to be naturalized and settle in the overseas dominions. During this time, the dominion parliament was quarreling fiercely over the issue. Those in favor said that their joining would allow the Dominion to add 100,000 young laborers, while opponents said that these Hicks prisoners were once enemies of the Dominion. Now they can enjoy the treatment of immigrants from the Kingdom if they want to be naturalized and settled. It is appropriate to allocate land and property to them. Aren't they too cheap? They are not immigrants from the Kingdom and have not made any contributions to the Dominion...
Therefore, what General Derivick means is that if Hicks prisoners are willing to join this volunteer division to help the Pamigar people obtain national liberation and establish an independent country, they will not only enjoy high salaries and welfare subsidies in the volunteer division, but also Can automatically become a member of the overseas autonomous territory after the war, and can obtain the same rights to allocate land and property as immigrants from the kingdom.
General Derivick believed that one hundred thousand Hicks prisoners who had naturalized and settled in the Dominion should be able to recruit more than thirty thousand volunteers to form a division. Therefore, he was willing to serve as the division commander of this volunteer division and lead them to the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik on the west coast to fire the first shot of the Pamigal armed uprising...
After a brief discussion, Claude decided to give General Derivic's suggestion a try and appointed General Derivic as the division commander of the volunteer division, responsible for the formation and reorganization of the volunteer division. After manufacturing, he led the volunteer division to the colony of the Kingdom of Morosik on the west coast.
The current military expenditures for the formation of this volunteer corps are all paid by the overseas autonomous territories. According to the agreement signed by Colonel Bokoar and the Tezsingh Nora Taghanem, these expenses will be repaid in installments after the Pamigar people establish an independent country. After all, with this mixed-race baron's family background, he cannot afford this huge military expenditure now...
Just when Claude was busy with the military reform of the overseas dominions, the wildfire plan, and the volunteer division, he received a report from Chief Swenson of Field Manor. His mother and wife Kaifni had already packed their bags and were preparing to leave the overseas dominions and return to White Deer City with their second son Byrgashi and their youngest daughter Alyssa...
