Chapter 74 National Defense II

In addition to these four fleets, the Federal Navy also has three important departments, the Logistics Department, the Training Department and the Intelligence Department. The first two departments are in charge of the equipment, supplies, medical care, ship repair, modification and reserve naval officers and sailors of the Federal Navy respectively.

, the recruitment and training of pilots, ground crew and other personnel, is headquartered in Da Nang, Anthung Province. The Intelligence Department, together with the Intelligence Department of the Federal Air Force, is in charge of all coastal radar stations in the federal territory and is responsible for monitoring federal coastlines and offshore ships and

Flying objects.

In addition, Liu Fu also added a new branch to the federal navy, the Marine Corps. In fact, this branch has existed in European and American countries for a long time. It was mainly used to cooperate with naval ships in conducting raids or landing and occupying tasks. In the past, in

In the South China Sea Federation, these tasks are all performed by the army. Now, Liu Fu has decided to also equip the federal navy with this branch. The number is not too large, 1 division, about 27,000 people, and is designated as the 1st Federal Marine Division.

By 1923, the total tonnage of the Union Navy's combat ships will reach 650,000 tons. After the United Kingdom and the United States, the Union Navy's ship tonnage will rank third.

In addition to a large navy, the South China Sea Federation also has a large air force. Since the establishment of the Federal Air Force in 1906, combat aircraft have been replaced for two generations, and the number of personnel has increased from more than 2,000 to 50,000. It has 4 air forces under its jurisdiction.

bases, 11 official military airports, and 3 aircraft manufacturing companies. Similarly, in order to facilitate deployment and clarify tasks, the Ministry of National Defense has divided the Federal Air Force into three main commands, which are stationed in different areas.

The Northern Air Force Command is based at Hue Air Force Base in Anthung Province. It has 3 flying wings and a total of about 80 aircraft, including 60 combat aircraft, most of which are Falcon fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft and Eagle ground attack aircraft.

, the rest are Goose transport aircraft. The control range of the Northern Air Force Command is the border between Thailand and Myanmar

area and the Gulf of Tonkin, the Gulf of Thailand and other sea areas. The main defense direction is the land border between the Federation and Thailand and Myanmar. The combat targets are the British and Indian troops. The main task is to use multiple military airports in the three provinces of Annan, Central Annan and Annan.

Conduct daily patrols, enemy situation monitoring, and combat training on targets within the control range.

Western Air Force Command. It is based at Palembang Air Force Base on Sumatra Island. It has 4 flying wings with a total number of about 120 aircraft, including 100 combat aircraft, Falcon fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft and Skua carrier-based torpedo attack

Air Force models. Some of them are Eagle ground attack aircraft. The remaining number are transport aircraft. The scope of control of the Western Air Force Command includes Malay

Peninsula, Sumatra Island, Java Island, Malacca Strait, Sunda Strait, the main defense direction is the west and southwest, our target is the attack launched by the British and Indian navies from the sea. The main task is to use the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra Island and Java

The military airport on the island helps the federal navy attack enemy ships or block the Strait of Malacca and Sunda Strait during wartime.

The Southern Air Force Command is based at Moresby Air Force Base on the island of New Guinea. It has 4 flying wings and a total number of about 120 aircraft. The control area of ​​the Southern Air Force Command includes the Lesser Sunda Islands and surrounding waters.

New Guinea and its surrounding waters, Sulawesi, the northern coast of Australia and other places, the main combat targets are Australia and New Zealand, if they have air forces.

The Eastern Air Force Command, based at the Manila Air Force Base in Luzon Province, has 3 flying wings and about 80 aircraft. The Eastern Air Force Command controls the Philippine Islands, Kalimantan Island and surrounding waters. The main

The targets of the war are Japan and the United States, but the Federation is far away from these two countries. In the short term, neither side will be able to use aircraft to threaten the other's homeland.

In addition to these four air force headquarters, Liu Fu also added a branch to the air force, which is the paratrooper force, also called the airborne force. Since the flight distance and load capacity of the federal goose transport aircraft have reached certain standards, in

On this basis, Liu Fu thinks it is possible

An airborne force has been developed. Although it is useless now, it may become a surprise force in the future. Since it is semi-experimental, the number of people in this airborne force cannot be large. There is only one brigade with more than 7,000 people.

Named the 1st Airborne Brigade by Liu Fu.

The last one is the Federation Army. Since most of the Federation's territories are islands, the Federation Army has always been ranked behind the Navy in terms of quantity and importance. Now, there are signs that it may be squeezed out by the Air Force again. There is no way.

Ah, it is determined by the environment. There are so many islands and there is no strong navy or air force. How many armies are needed to defend them just by the army? Moreover, once the war starts, if the land and sea are cut off by the enemy, then the army on the island will be alone.

.

In the plan of the Ministry of National Defense, the federal army will expand from the previous 4 divisions to 6 divisions, with a total of about 160,000 people. Since the federal territory is mostly tropical islands with numerous rainforests, among the 2 expanded divisions this time

, specially assigned a mountain division establishment, but it is said to be a mountain division, but it is actually called a tropical division.

The division is more suitable. They are mainly locals recruited from Kalimantan, Sumatra, the Philippines and other places, and then equipped with Chinese commanders, making full use of their ability to survive in the tropical rainforest, coupled with strict training, so that

To become a force that can adapt to fighting in tropical rainforest areas.

The infantry of the Federal Army is mainly equipped with semi-automatic rifles, machine guns, and heavy machine guns, combined with mortars, flamethrowers, mines, and grenades for combat. When traffic conditions permit, the Federal Army will also equip a large number of armored vehicles.

Motorcycles, light tanks and trucks. However, because the Federal Army is mainly a defensive force and the terrain within the Federation is too complex, the Federal Army is not equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery.

The strength of these six infantry divisions will be mainly distributed in the northern part of the federation, especially in the Malay Peninsula and Anbuk Province. A federal army division is stationed near the borders of these two provinces with Thailand and Myanmar.

An army division is also stationed in Anzhong and Annan provinces.

Of the remaining three divisions, one is stationed on the Philippine Islands and Taiwan Island, one is stationed on Kalimantan Island, and the remaining one is stationed on Sumatra Island, the Greater and Lesser Sunda Islands and New Guinea Island.

These armies are the last line of defense for the federation. If the enemy already needs the federal army to deal with it, then the federation's defense line will basically be broken through. Of course, the federal land border with Thailand and Myanmar does not count.

In addition, in order to facilitate logistics and combat command, the federal Ministry of Defense has compiled separate code names for all equipment of the federal navy, air force, and army. Among them, naval equipment is code-named with "s" in English for sea, and air force is code-named with "a" for air in English.

The Army is code-named with the English l for land.

The abbreviation a for carrier, the number for cruiser is c, the number for destroyer is d, the number for frigate is f, the number for patrol boat is p, the number for torpedo boat is t, the number for submarine is s; since the Federal Navy does not intend to build and

It is equipped with a battleship, so the b number representing the battleship is not actually used. However, in order to cope with possible situations, such as capturing enemy battleships, etc., the b number is still retained.

The aircraft numbering of the Air Force is similar to that of the Navy. The attack aircraft is numbered a, the bomber is numbered b, the transport aircraft is numbered c, the reconnaissance aircraft is numbered d, the trainer aircraft is numbered e, the fighter aircraft is numbered f, and the test aircraft is numbered

The number is x, and the number of the prototype is y; the naval aviation aircraft number is also based on the air force aircraft number, except that the first letter is the letter s representing the navy, not the letter a representing the air force.

The Army's equipment numbers are somewhat different from those of the Navy and Air Force. Because the Army's equipment is too much and too complex, it can only be classified first and then classified. The Army's combat vehicles include various types of tanks, armored vehicles are numbered A, and transport vehicles include motorcycles.

Trucks, etc. are numbered b, artillery including howitzers, mortars, anti-aircraft guns, etc. are numbered c

, machine gun weapons including heavy machine guns, light machine guns, squad machine guns, etc. are numbered d, individual firearms include automatic rifles, submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, rifles and their modified versions, etc. are numbered e, all pistols are numbered f, grenades

, mines, etc. are numbered g, all knives are numbered h, etc. (To be continued...)
