Chapter 790 Military Mission

The military's military budget is undoubtedly the highlight of this year-end meeting, because Changshilu Heavy Industrial Zone, which accounted for the bulk of Haihan's fiscal expenditures in the past two years, has gradually been put into operation and has relatively stable output. This makes Haihan

The fiscal budget has also been slightly relaxed. If this were not the case, even if the military could make extraordinary efforts, it would be difficult to grab the share of the fiscal budget that was destined to be allocated to the industrial sector.

As for newly opened overseas colonies like Kaohsiung Port, due to the large amount of external funds, materials and labor injected by investment promotion methods, Haihan's own burden is not particularly large, and there is no need to include it in the financial plan for the coming year.

Arrange too much budget expenditure.

Taking a closer look, there are currently no other projects that will take up a large amount of budget and must be implemented as soon as possible to compete with the military's proposal, which also greatly reduces the difficulty of the military's proposal being passed. However, this does not mean that the military will not be able to do so in the coming year.

They can get the steam fleet they dream of. Due to the large number of hull structural changes involved, the shipbuilding period will be longer than that of sail-powered ships of the same type, and will be greatly affected by the supply efficiency of the industrial sector that produces steam engines.

In addition, it also takes a long time to launch outfitting, train technicians to operate and maintain marine steam engines, and allow sailors to adapt to the tactical improvements of the new ship.

According to the military's estimates, it will be relatively smooth to launch all the ships in the new fleet within 1634, but the real combat effectiveness may not be achieved until all these warships are put into service for a period of time. If the military plans

If we expand the control area as quickly as possible to the north, then we probably can't expect this fleet to be used in time. At that time, it will probably be necessary to mobilize ships from other fleets to the Fujian Strait, and let the new ships enter the service to replace them.

A safe area. Of course, the military will not take the initiative to announce the tricks involved in this to everyone, so as not to give evidence to the opposition.

"A whole fleet, this is the best condition I can get for the navy. You shouldn't have anything to be picky about, right?" Returning to the Military Commission's office, Yan Chujie asked Wang Tom in high spirits. This was probably

Since the establishment of the Navy, the Military Commission has applied for the largest military budget for the Navy from the Executive Committee. The figures in the accounts are almost enough to build two sailing fleets of the same size. From a pessimistic perspective, it will probably be a year from now.

The Navy will not be able to apply for so much military spending at once for two years or even longer.

Tom Wang shrugged and said: "Who could have expected that things would go so smoothly? I was already prepared to compromise with the executive committee and build half or a third of the fleet first, and then build the rest when we have the military funds. If I had known better,

In this way, we can definitely make the budget a little more relaxed."

"The number is too large, and the executive committee will not approve it." Yan Chujie shook his head and rejected Wang Tom's idea. As a member of the executive committee, he has a relatively clear understanding of the value orientation of the executive committee: "Yes.

As far as the Executive Committee is concerned, the recovery benefits of allocating funds to the military to build an army are not obvious, and the recovery period of investment costs will be very long. If the number we apply for is too large, the Executive Committee will probably divide it into batches.

Come and review the fees, and it’s unlikely that you’ll pass the review in one go.”

Yan Chujie slowly leaned back on the chair, found a relatively comfortable position, and continued: "But after helping the Navy to obtain so much military spending this year, the Army will definitely have to tighten its spending. Wait for Gu Wei, the money

Tiandun and the others will inevitably blame me again when they know the news."

Since the division of arms, the military's land and sea battles have never stopped. Of course, this competition for resources mostly exists within the military system and is not publicized to the outside world. There is no year-end meeting between the military and the opposition.

It's tit-for-tat like that. But when the total military budget is limited, if one side gets more, the other side will naturally be compressed. And the Military Commission obviously pays more attention to the development of the navy in the coming year. This kind of "favoritism" may be a problem in the eyes of the army generals.

It will be regarded as a sign that the Military Commission is not doing things fairly.

Wang Tom responded: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, there are no major land combat missions in the near future. The Army only needs to maintain its current organizational scale."

In fact, after the Annan Civil War ended, apart from using a large number of army troops to attack the northern part of Hainan Island, the Haihan Militia basically did not carry out large-scale combat missions on the mainland. Most of the combat locations were on various islands.

, the troops invested were also very limited. Even when they attacked Penghu in May this year, the Army only took over the simple task of cleaning the battlefield and eliminating the remaining enemies in the final stage of the war. Before the end of the year, Qian Tiandun led his troops to land in Taiwan twice.

We carried out reconnaissance missions on the island and basically encountered no major troubles that required the deployment of large army units.

When it is temporarily unable to put more resources to use, the Army will inevitably "give" more resources to the currently popular Navy. Even if the Army generals are dissatisfied with this, they really can't find any refutation.

reason.

The relatively well-paid troops in the army, apart from the Guards stationed in Sanya, are probably the island-defending troops of Ambuna Island in the South China Sea located on the edge of the Haihan territory and the mountain special operations troops currently stationed in Penghu. These two

One of the troops guards the southern gate of Haihan, and the other guards the important waterway in the north. They are important bridgeheads for Haihan's future development strategy from south to north. Because they are too far away from the base camp, once a war breaks out between these two places, they will not be able to obtain the base camp in a short time.

Therefore, it has relatively high requirements on the independent combat capabilities of its garrisoned troops. The Military Commission is almost always responsive to the troops in these two places. Regardless of the weapons, equipment or commanders and fighters, the configuration is basically the best.

Of course, the most supportive policy still gives these two places the authority to recruit and train soldiers on their own. Subject to the approval of the base camp, the garrison can recruit soldiers from immigrants who have moved to the local area. After completing the training, they can directly join the local army.

Serving in the army. This eliminates the need to recruit soldiers from the base camp, and the recruits' ability to adapt to the local area will be much better than soldiers transferred from other places. In addition, the garrison can also recruit military training students from outside. Of course, this kind of training is a paid service

, and it is expensive, and the garrison can use it to subsidize the expenses required for daily operations.

Since the training cycle for Army recruits is much shorter than that of the Navy, and unlike the Navy, which relies on transportation to function, if necessary, the Army's detonation speed will be several times that of the Navy. Therefore, no matter it is

Neither the Executive Committee nor the Military Commission is willing to maintain a large number of useless troops in peacetime. Although the Army's establishment has been expanding in recent years, measured by the population of the area under Haihan's rule, the Army's

The scale is basically maintained at a relatively low level.

Unless Haihan is determined to start conquering the mainland, or if he wants to establish a new large-scale colony in an area further away from the base camp, and there is an actual demand for the size of the army, then it is possible to accelerate the expansion of the army.

At Magong Port in Penghu, 1,200 kilometers away from Sanya, the militia troops stationed here have not yet received the resolution on military affairs from this year’s year-end conference. The soldiers’ focus is on another thing, that is, the first batch of local training

The recruits have completed the initial training, and those who have passed the examination will now officially enter the establishment and serve.

Sun Zhen waved his left hand lightly, and held the gun belt tightly with his right hand, keeping the rifle close to his back and shoulder blades. He raised his head and looked straight ahead. Following the drumbeats in his ears, he and his companions walked through the chairman's office in neat steps.

In front of the stage, he has completed similar queue marches countless times in the past three months. The distance traveled is at least two to three hundred miles. Every movement has formed a conditioned reflex in his body. As long as

Hearing the familiar drum beat, he didn't even have to turn his head to glance at his companions, and was able to maintain the same speed as the entire queue. Compared with the embarrassing situation when he was first trained and occasionally walked with the same hands and feet, he now walked in unison.

Entering the subject is at least considered a passing level.

Sun Zhen arrived at Magong Port on September 11th. After listening to the policy propaganda of the Haihan Militia that day, he decided to join the army. In the next three months, he came into contact with a whole new world, and the experiences he received here

The training allowed him to redefine his understanding of the army. Before coming to Penghu, Sun Zhen believed that all armies in the world were probably like the Ming army. They were in a mess and had low combat effectiveness. They could only bully the common people who were unable to resist, but Hai

The Han Nationalist League is obviously different.

This army, which is loyal to the Haihan Executive Committee rather than to a certain big shot, has strict and perfect military discipline. Although the daily training is very difficult, the treatment in the army is like paradise compared to the days when he was a refugee and displaced.

This kind of collective life is also an atmosphere that Sun Zhen likes very much. Although he is often "bullied" by veteran instructors under various excuses, every time the training is over, he sits around and listens to the instructors talking about their previous combat experiences in various places. Sun Zhen

You will feel excited and wish you could join the veterans in those wars.

Sun Zhen didn't know that the veterans' stories were not told casually. Although these stories were true, this approach was one of the targeted propaganda methods of the military's political department. This was similar to the internal affairs meeting every night.

Learning military discipline and receiving literacy education are all subtly transforming the recruits' outlook on life. Through these means, the recruits will gradually develop a unified understanding of their identity and mission in their minds, and will also have a unified understanding of Haihan as a group.

Generate a sense of identity and belonging, and then slowly develop a loyal mentality.

The collective life in the military will effectively strengthen and amplify these effects through the group effect. According to the operational experience of the past few years, three months of recruit training is enough for the vast majority of people to integrate into the Haihan Militia group, and

Be proud of this invincible force. Perhaps this period of time is not enough for them to purely master personal combat skills, but their sense of identity will enable them to be more active in future training and mission execution.

The most important thing is that when they step onto the battlefield, they will better execute the combat instructions issued by the commander under the combined effects of conditioned reflex, sense of honor, obedience and blood.

This comprehensive effect achieved by a variety of means is difficult for the traditional feudal army to completely imitate. Although Haihan will assist the Ming army or some private armed forces to train soldiers, due to institutional differences, even if these imitators can

Even with the establishment of the Haihan militia, equipped with Haihan weapons, and the implementation of Haihan's training methods and even some combat tactics, the gap in actual combat effectiveness between the two sides is still insurmountable.

Sun Zhen witnessed this process personally. His group of recruits began training almost at the same time as the commissioned trainees sent to Penghu from the outside world. The recruits were almost all civilians with no military experience, but many of the commissioned trainees were

He was a martial arts practitioner and was even an active soldier in the Ming Dynasty. His personal combat effectiveness far exceeded that of a rookie like Sun Zhen, and his acceptance of various military training subjects was much faster.

But after several months of training, Sun Zhen found that the gap between the two sides was closing at a rapid rate, especially in terms of collective combat capabilities. The Haihan Militia and their opponents were not at the same level at all. In the combat exercises for the graduation assessment

, Sun Zhen’s recruit company defeated the coalition force composed of commissioned trainees with an advantage of 2 to 0. Whether playing the offensive or defensive role, the recruit company’s performance was even better. Even Qian Tiandun, who was present to watch the battle, was also impressed by the recruits.

Lian offered his approval.

However, the veteran instructors were very indifferent to this. In their words, if they can't defeat a group of stragglers, then none of these recruits are qualified to join the special operations battalion. At most, they can serve as ordinary soldiers in other units of the militia.

Just one soldier.

Although they are not very clear about the situation of other militia units, Sun Zhen and others are very much looking forward to staying and serving in this legendary unit. Of course, this is not only the invincible collective sense of honor, but also because

The recruits have all heard that this unit has the most opportunities for meritorious service and the fastest promotion. If you are lucky, you can be promoted to company commander in two or three years. If you perform well enough, you may be able to use it like Senior Minami Takahashi.

In less than five years, he was promoted to the position of battalion commander. Although that position is still out of reach for new recruits, everyone remembers the education they received on the day they entered the camp - soldiers who do not want to be generals are not

Good soldiers. Reasonable ambitions are allowed here. As long as they are willing to fight for it, everyone will get the opportunity to become a high-ranking commander.
