If the Black Mountain Infantry Regiment wants to enter Zhenjiang, it will inevitably have to pass through the non-Heishan area of Jiangning Province, with the three cities of Sanhe, Humen, and Tianguan along the way.
Lu Ming went to the provincial capital to communicate secretly with Governor Chaxon and Chief Envoy Wang Qiande.
Governor Chaxon looked like he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease again, but Wang Qiande had a very good attitude, saying that the three cities must cooperate with the Montenegrin Corps and do a good job in traffic dispatch, so as to give the green light to the Montenegrin Corps' troop delivery. They would also keep it strictly confidential and would not let the three cities do anything.
The city knows the true intent of the traffic control.
In fact, Lu Ming didn't care whether the infantry regiment's operations were kept secret or not, but he also explained to Wang Qiande that if media reporters or civilians took photos, they might be tried by the Montenegrin military court for the crime of endangering military operations.
Wang Qiande slapped his chest and confirmed that he would not let the reporters know.
And when the Black Mountain Corps Armored Brigade, the 1st Mixed Brigade and the 2nd Mixed Brigade were filled with black armored vehicles, transport convoys, artillery convoys and surging waves of well-equipped troops wearing neat helmets, marching on the land of Sanhe, Humen and Tianguan.
hour.
Whether it's Governor Chuckson, Wang Qiande or Hu Dingjin, I have mixed feelings in my heart when I think about it.
The Montenegrin Infantry Corps has a total of five brigades, an armored brigade directly under the military headquarters, and four mixed brigades.
Each brigade is organized with five to six thousand men.
Among them, the 1st and 2nd brigades are stationed in the Heishan area, the 3rd brigade is stationed in Wanzhou, and the 4th brigade is stationed in Nanping.
Now it can be said that the troops stationed in Montenegro are out in force.
Of course, both the first and second brigades left an infantry battalion on guard.
Compared with the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade, the Mixed First and Second Brigades are more well-equipped. In this era, it can be said that they are armed to the teeth.
Taking the first mixed brigade as an example, it consists of four infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and a firepower reinforcement company, a tank reinforcement company, a vehicle transport brigade, a health company, etc. directly under the brigade headquarters.
The infantry battalion has about 1,100 people and can fight alone as an extremely powerful combat unit.
Under each infantry battalion, there is a battalion company including a communications squad, a vehicle transport team, three infantry companies, a heavy weapons company, and a group of medical soldiers.
An infantry company has about 200 people, including a company headquarters platoon, three infantry platoons and a firepower platoon. Each company has six field wireless stations (field walkie-talkies).
In general, an infantry battalion has about 600 rifles, 40 light machine guns, 12 heavy machine guns, two infantry guns, two tanks, and several trucks.
Theoretically speaking, if such a combat unit is a warlord army in the northern region, it will be surrounded by ten times the force, and it will be difficult to defeat it.
Of course, the main factor in combat is people, and the will to fight is also extremely important.
Basically, the infantry battalion system developed by Lu Ming was based on the "brigade" system of the enemy troops that invaded the motherland during World War II.
Because in this world, the U.S. Army's large-army organization in World War II is a bit out of date, because large-scale battles are difficult to occur nowadays. Instead, the more capable organization of wing-group is more suitable for today's combat conditions.
For example, even a fully-equipped infantry battalion of eight to nine hundred people in the US military would basically not fight alone during World War II. Except for special circumstances, the basic unit of combat was generally the division level.
And the organization of "brigade", which is the infantry battalion of more than a thousand people in the Montenegrin Legion, can be used as a basic combat unit in this world. In large-scale battles, the combat unit will be upgraded to a brigade, at least that is the current situation.
Of course, as history rolls around, the formation of troops will naturally follow the scale of the war and the war situation.
…
The actual offensive launched against the Zhenjiang rebels was no different from a military exercise.
After the Black Mountain Infantry Corps entered Zhenjiang, its original strategic intention was to divert the main force of the rebels from leaving the provincial capital of Zhenjiang. Unexpectedly, the border rebels collapsed immediately, and civil strife broke out in the border guard division in the provincial capital. The officers who were still loyal to the empire united and
Chen Jingyuan must be arrested.
The raid by the Technetium Air Service Regiment and the paratroopers was almost in vain, because when the commando team entered Chen Jingyuan's residence, he was packing up his belongings and preparing to run away.
However, the war reports released by the Montenegrin Corps to the media infinitely exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the rebels, and the Montenegrin Corps suffered a considerable setback.
The number of casualties increased dozens of times to more than 2,000.
In fact, most of the single-digit casualties and dozens of injuries were not casualties during the battle with the rebels.
It is probably the only one in history.
In addition to demanding the Eastern Alliance's generous military spending, Lu Ming did not want the outside world to notice too early. In Montenegro, an extremely terrifying new era war machine was rumbling out of the ground, and everything around it would be crushed by it.
But no matter what, from the time Montenegro sent troops to counter the rebellion on November 9th to the time the Montenegro Army held a press conference to announce the end of the war on December 21st, the war ended in just over a month, which was enough to make the east
Members of the alliance were shocked.
In fact, we really can't delay it any longer. After all, there is no trace of the rebels in the Zhenjiang area. Those who should surrender have surrendered, and those who should abscond are nowhere to be seen.
We can garrison troops to continue to maintain stability, but declaring a state of war all the time would be too much.
What's more, the New Year will be celebrated in less than ten days, and Lu Ming also wants the people of Zhenjiang to have a happy and stable New Year.
…
The Zhenjiang Provincial Administration Office Building is a five-story long building.
In the conference room on the second floor, the main administrative officials of the administration were sitting, and nine observers from the Eastern Alliance Observer Group were also listening.
The day after the Montenegrin Corps announced the end of the war, that is, yesterday, the Eastern Alliance observation group arrived in Zhenjiang.
Lu Ming sat with nine observers. The person presiding over the meeting was Jia Shaojian, deputy chief envoy of the Zhenjiang Provincial Administration.
The five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River originally had a political structure of governor-general plus three divisions.
In addition to the Governor, there are the Chief Secretary, the Attorney General and the Financial Secretary. Among them, the Chief Secretary and the Chief Envoy are the head of the administrative officials.
Now that the Chief Minister has been killed, although the status of Deputy Chief Minister Jia Shaojian is not as good as that of the Secretary for Justice and the Financial Secretary, due to the power structure, it is legally the Deputy Chief Minister Jia Shaojian who acted as Chief Minister.
Jian is the head of the officials.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! During this period, Zhenjiang officials were going up and down like a roller coaster.
Several officials were killed.
Some officials who were unwilling to serve Chen Jingyuan's military government resigned, and some were dismissed.
Now they have all been invited back.
There were also people who immediately got along with Chen Jingyuan, such as the current Secretary for Justice, Chen Zhengji, who was Chen Jingyuan's guest and one of the most important members of Chen Jingyuan's short-lived puppet regime. Because Chen Zhengji had a good reputation among the people, he was once appointed by Chen Jingyuan to be in power.
The prime minister won the hearts of the people, but within a few days of sitting on the chair, he naturally stepped down as the Montenegrin Corps entered the provincial capital.
Now Chen Zhengji is sitting there, with no visible expression, but thinking about it, he feels very complicated.
Jia Shaojian mainly followed the suggestions of the Eastern Alliance Observer Mission and asked many officials to maintain the normal operation of the provincial administration office.
During the military coup launched by Chen Jingyuan, peacekeeping troops from the Eastern Alliance, known as the Montenegrin Corps, were stationed in the most chaotic cities and provincial capitals to assist local officials in maintaining order.
In addition, we are preparing to hold an election for the provincial prime minister and governor after the year.
This will be an unprecedented event in the history of Zhenjiang, and the Eastern Alliance will also send more observers to various constituencies across the province for guidance and supervision.
After the new year, registration of voters will be in full swing. The initial idea is that those who are over 18 years old and have a middle school education are legal voters.
Hearing this, Lu Ming frowned slightly. From the perspective of cultural people from other provinces, he was afraid that his image as a dictator might not be liked by these people.
In particular, competitors will make a big fuss out of this.
On the other hand, the people at the bottom may prefer policies such as equalizing land in the northern region.
Speaking of the selection of voters, Jia Shaojian looked at the observation group and explained: "Because this is the first time, we still hope that the voters will be a high-quality group. When the western states first held elections, they also used culture.
To select voters who have the ability to think independently."
Some observers nodded.
"That was hundreds of years ago. Some states used educational level selection, and some states required landowners to select voters based on wealth. But from a hundred and fifty years ago, all western states used
It has become a universal suffrage involving all citizens, so why should Zhenjiang Province still take detours?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and elegant, named Liu Min, an observer from Montenegro.
Lu Ming glanced at him and nodded mentally. This man had something in his mind and he had clearly thought of the secret.
Because there are already rumors outside that he may participate in the general election in Zhenjiang Province.
But if you can think of the favorable conditions for you to participate in large numbers of people at the bottom, you have a very keen sense of politics.
For example, Jia Shaojian and others proposed that only those with a middle school education or above are eligible to vote. They just hope that there will be no trouble in this election and that the result will be ridiculous. It is definitely not aimed at themselves, and they will not think that deeply.
Liu Min said everything he wanted to say. Lu Ming was heartbroken and looked at the reactions of Jia Shaojian and others.
When Jia Shaojian saw that it was the observers who objected to the idea they had initially discussed, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Yes, I think what Mr. Liu Min said is right." A Western observer said in a stiff tone, "It's been the tenth century, why should we still cling to the old ways? Now that there are general elections, we must completely get rid of the previous shortcomings. Your plan
, more than 90% of Zhenjiang citizens have been deprived of their legal rights, right?"
Obviously, he is a staunch liberal believer, and his face shows disapproval of Jia Shaojian's proposal.
Several observers echoed this Western observer.
Seeing this, Jia Shaojian said helplessly: "Okay, in this case, we will hold a real universal election. As long as law-abiding citizens over the age of 18 can participate in the election as voters."
Because this nine-member observation team will also be the election supervision committee, which naturally has the final decision-making power.
Lu Ming watched Liu Min chatting intimately and quietly with the Western observer, and secretly remembered his name. Pan Mila's eyes for selecting people were indeed very clever.
