The S-level command is a national-level authority. In addition to military appointments, the Government Affairs Council also set up a shelf. Yang Du served as the president of the Government Affairs Council, coordinating the management of the affairs of the four southwest provinces. Tao Chengzhang of the Guangfuhui took over because he defected to Chen Hao.
Yang Du's position in Cam Ranh Bay, the Restoration Society and some other revolutionaries, one after another surrendered due to the persuasion of Qiu Jin and others, and they formed Chen Hao's current team.
After Chen Hao became the Governor of the Southwest, trainees who graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School came to join him one after another, and he had the conditions to expand the army. Now the scale of the arsenal in Zhenyuan Prefecture, Guizhou has increased four times. In addition to equipping the army, the weapons produced are also sold to players in large quantities.
Cam Ranh Bay Arsenal is larger, but has begun to transform, focusing on the production of large-caliber howitzers, mountain cannons, mortars, heavy machine guns and other weapons.
Vietnam's Thanh Hoa De steelmaking plant has not only expanded its production, its annual steel output has reached 500,000 tons, which can fully meet the needs of the shipyard. Now Chen Hao has many people and guns under his command, but in his opinion, the size of the army
It is far from enough. The only regular NPCs under his command are the former Cam Ranh Bay First Division, two mountain divisions in Guizhou, and the newly built Polu Army. The four divisions are only enough to defend the current base area.
After Chen Hao established the S-level command, he immediately issued an order to expand the army, requiring the Ministry of War to reorganize five army divisions within a year. This time Yang Du did not oppose the expansion of the army. The shipyards and arsenals brought a lot of profits, and the finances were very healthy.
After taking control of the four southwest provinces and establishing a headquarters, he immediately started collecting taxes. The taxes from the four provinces could support five divisions without any problem.
The troops in the four southwest provinces, including Cam Ranh Bay, will be unified and reorganized. Among them, the First Division of Cam Ranh Bay will be changed to the Southwest Garrison Division, responsible for garrisoning Sichuan; the names of the Second Division and the Third Division of Guizhou will remain unchanged, with Xu Xueqiu and Xu Xilin serving respectively.
Army Commander; the newly formed Polu Army was reorganized into the Fourth Division. Jiang Baili also served as the division commander, responsible for dealing with the rebel Long Fei in western Sichuan and northern Yunnan.
The Cam Ranh Bay Garrison was upgraded to a Garrison Division, with Zhang Yi, a former instructor at the Kaiping Armed Forces School, as the division commander; in addition to the four newly formed divisions, three of them will recruit Sichuan NPCs. During the Anti-Japanese War, there was a saying that "no army can be formed without Sichuan"
, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army is obvious to all. It is impossible for Chen Hao not to take advantage of this geographical advantage.
The last seventh division, Chen Hao, was handed over to Bai Chongxi, and the young Bai Chongxi was asked to form a Guangxi division to be responsible for garrisoning Guangxi. The Gui army's combat effectiveness was also not weak, second only to the Central Army during the Anti-Japanese War, and the main difference was in equipment.
Historically, Bai Chongxi created the Seventh Army in addition to his direct lineage. I believe he will not disappoint with his leadership attributes.
Sichuan recruited three divisions: the 4th, 5th, and 6th. The commander of the Fourth Division, Sun Chuanfang, had a commander attribute of 88 points. Sun Chuanfang was a little worse than Jiang Baili and others in terms of commander, but his political attributes were good. So Chen Hao gave him
Great autonomy. The Fourth Division is stationed in western Sichuan. After three months of recruitment and training, Sun Chuanfang will accept the command of Jiang Baili to attack Longfei.
The S-level command headquarters comes with a recruitment hall building. The property of this building is that 1-2 well-known NPCs will come to the recruitment hall every month. Chen Hao was very lucky. On the third day of the recruitment hall, an NPC came to the recruitment hall. This NPC came to the recruitment hall.
The npc is called Yang Sen. Yang Sen was the chairman of Guizhou Province in history and a second-level general of the National Revolutionary Army. His commanding attribute is as high as 90 points.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that Yang Sen came to join Chen Hao. Because Yang Sen’s political attribute page is as high as 83 points, he is a difficult figure to control. Historically, Yang Sen has defected to the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Beiyang Wu Peifu. But he never seemed to be right.
Anyone who has ever been loyal is always using others to develop.
The fact that an NPC like Yang Sen came to invest has a lot to do with Chen Hao's current status. Playing this strategy game is like a snowball. The higher the status of the players in the game, the more powerful NPCs will come to seek refuge. Yang Sen came to invest because
Because I took a fancy to his reputation as the Governor of Sichuan and wanted to get ahead under him and use his status to develop.
Since Yang Sen does not sincerely surrender and cannot be truly loyal to Chen Hao, Chen Hao's emperor's mind skills cannot be used. If he reuses Yang Sen, Yang Sen is likely to be like Jia Xu of the Three Kingdoms, who only plans for himself; if Yang Sen is not used.
He also felt it was a pity, after all, Yang Sen's basic attributes were coveted.
Chen Hao finally appointed Yang Sen as the commander of the Fifth Division. This was definitely an unusual appointment. Yang Sen looked like he was crying with gratitude. However, Chen Hao would not be paralyzed by him. All the officers assigned to the Fifth Division were loyal to his confidants.
As the division commander, Yang Sen can command these people to fight, but if he has any evil intentions, he can't take any soldiers with him.
The commander of the Sixth Division is Xiong Kewu, who was an important figure in the Shu military government and was reused by Chen Hao. Xiong Kewu has a commander attribute of 80 points, which makes him more qualified for the position of division commander than Xu Xilin and Xu Xueqiu. It would be a pity not to use it. Although Xiong Kewu is
He was a member of the Alliance, but he was a member of the Huang Xing faction. His Nine-member Group was in conflict with the industrial group supported by Sun Yat-sen. At that time, Xiong Kewu had transformed into a warlord, but now he is still alive and a passionate young man who is determined to do his part for the revolution.
force.
Chen Hao was not interested in Huang Xing, so he was extremely cautious when appointing Xiong Kewu, fearing that Huang Xing would summon Xiong Kewu and revolutionize again. The team of the 6th Division was the same as that of the 5th Division. All officers were assigned to be loyal to Chen Hao's confidants, making it impossible for Xiong Kewu to defeat him.
No matter what kind of trouble there is, Huang Xing will definitely ask Xiong Kewu to cause trouble. If Xiong Kewu fails to win over a group of troops, he will definitely continue to work in the Sixth Division. In this way, he always has illusions, but he has to work hard for Chen Hao.
There is another reason why Chen Hao attaches great importance to Xiong Kewu. There will be a real famous general under Xiong Kewu, one of the three and a half generals commented by the Japanese. This famous general is still just a small chief of staff, and he has sent people to inquire many times.
There is no news, but he believes that the system will allow this famous general to appear under Xiong Kewu.
After Chen Hao's reorganization plan is completed, he will have nine NPC reorganization divisions under his command, two of which are guard divisions. Players who are still serving in Cam Ranh Bay will be reorganized into the player's first division and second division.
Replace with new equipment. These players who have been working under him loyally will not be treated badly by anyone. He has begun to pay military pay to players every month, which is the only one in the game at this time.
Each force in the game recruits a large number of player soldiers. At this time, because the cost of player soldiers is low, there is no need to pay military salaries to support them. After the solo player reaches level 40 or above, it is no longer feasible to level up alone and has to rely on large forces for development.
.Chen Hao spends hundreds of thousands of silver dollars every month to distribute military pay to players. He also gives praise to all players because he is preparing to recruit a large number of player troops.
Before Yuan Shikai's downfall, Chen Hao had no chance of ruling the world. It was impossible for him to do nothing in the past few years. After Yuan Shikai appointed him as Minister of Navy and Governor of the Southwest, he quickly appointed Li Yuanhong as Minister of War. He was ready to take advantage of this to make a fuss.
Although Li Yuanhong's Army Minister cannot command NPC troops, he has great task authority. If he asks Li Yuanhong to help issue tasks to recruit players to go to North Korea to deal with Japan and Russia, it is not impossible to drive Japan out of North Korea.
Chen Hao planned to help Russia defeat Japan before the outbreak of World War I. Now the naval strength of Cam Ranh Bay exceeds that of the Japanese navy. Together with Russia and Japan, they are definitely no match. He holds the position of Minister of the Navy and can issue tasks to recruit player warships to participate in the war, allowing Yuan Shikai to
The government will pay the mission rewards. Nowadays, China's player warships are no less than those of Japanese players. With the player fleet to contain Japanese players, he is 100% sure to defeat the Japanese navy.
The Russians were betrayed by Chen Hao once. They will definitely be very careful when cooperating again this time and must show sincerity. In a decisive battle at sea, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet may be the main force. Chen Hao is mentally prepared for this. As long as Japan can be destroyed
The navy affects Japan's overall plot, and the Cam Ranh Bay fleet can accept some losses.
The Cam Ranh Bay fleet now has two super dreadnoughts, five dreadnoughts, twelve invincible-class battlecruisers, and a large number of small ships. This kind of naval strength not only surpasses Japan, but even surpasses the United States and France, becoming the second largest fleet.
Yu Yingde's third largest navy.
Chen Hao holds the position of Minister of the Navy, and he has the navy firmly in his hands. If you add the Chinese Navy and the Vietnamese Navy commanded by Sa Zhenbing, the navy's ships even exceed the British in terms of number and tonnage. However, the British Navy's battle
The quality is higher than that of the navy under his command. If a naval battle breaks out, they will probably not be able to defeat it.
Of course, Chen Hao would not go out of his way to provoke the British. He would only seek to dominate Asia, and the Japanese Navy had always been his goal. For a year, Chen Hao did not expand and concentrated on purging the four southwest provinces he controlled.
Almost all player bases within the area that might threaten his position were wiped out, and the rest were small bases.
Chen Hao only dared to do this because he had an S-level headquarters. He did not allow large-scale player forces to appear on his territory. NPCs were completely responsible for managing the place. When he started to wipe out forces like Jin Ma Chao, countless people on the forum questioned him for being too domineering.
, one person controls four provinces, and does not give other players any way out.
Chen Hao simply issued a statement, saying that he would not target innocent ordinary players, but would deal with forces with evil intentions. There was really no need to deal with the small forces that chose to develop in the four provinces.
If war breaks out in other regions, they can be invited to fight together. But forces like Jin Ma Chao are different. They are rich and powerful, and if they are allowed to develop, serious consequences may occur.
Long Fei was a thorn in Chen Hao's side and flesh. In order to drive Long Fei out of the country, Jiang Baili commanded four divisions to launch thirty-six battles. In addition to the first division, these four divisions included three divisions: four, five, and six.
They are all newly compiled, and a large number of casualties will inevitably occur, but after the test of blood and fire, the average combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. (To be continued...)
