Chapter 1761 Show of force (3)

The setting and planning of Haihan's arms are closely related to the country's development direction. Therefore, special arms such as cavalry that require a lot of resources to support can only temporarily play supporting roles at this stage, and the resources and combat opportunities they can obtain cannot match the development direction of the country.

The main arms are on par. For a general like Harugong who devotes himself wholeheartedly to the development of cavalry, there is indeed a sadness of underappreciating talents. Such a general environment may take five, ten, or even longer years.

Changes are gradually taking place, and it will probably be difficult for Harugong to hold on as a front-line unit commander until that time.

In fact, regardless of the military branch, it is only a matter of time before the senior military generals are replaced. Most generals who travel through time are already around forty years old. Even Chen Yixin, the youngest general among them, is about to enter the army.

He is already 30 years old, and older generals like Mu Xiabai, who is already over 45 years old, have already chosen to take a back seat and go to Ampurna Island to be the local peace officer, so that they can take root and enjoy their retirement.

The second half of life. In this era, after ten years of traveling around as a military career, there are actually not as many people as there were in the beginning who still continue to serve in the military with the same drive to become a famous general in history.

The second generation of time-travelers is far from being able to take over at this time. Most people who get married after time-traveling have children who are still in elementary school. Even if they give birth to a group of prodigies,

It will take at least ten years to take over. If it is an administrative department, this time is not a big problem. The body of a time traveler usually works until the age of fifty or sixty, and then it is too late to gradually transfer power. But the situation in the military is

What is special is that when General Haihan gradually withdraws from the front line, a large number of troops stationed overseas will be handed over to the command of naturalized generals. This will inevitably lead to some turmoil and possible hidden dangers. After all, no one is perfect.

Not all soldiers will be as unconditionally loyal to Haihan as Takahashi Minami.

The Executive Committee has actually considered this potential risk very early and has taken certain preventive measures. For example, the manufacturing of certain advanced weapons and equipment, especially guns and ammunition, has been strictly controlled in Sanya, leaving overseas

The combat effectiveness of the garrison must be guaranteed by domestically supplied military supplies. Promotion of naturalized officers often requires them to return to the military academy in Sanya for further studies. In addition to military content, a considerable part of it is ideological education to strengthen their maritime awareness.

The loyalty of the Han regime. Regularly arrange for troops stationed in overseas colonies to change defenses to prevent these troops from staying there for too long and taking root and slowly evolving into a warlord separatist situation. In addition, the military will also have various preferential conditions

Encourage senior military officers to settle their families in Sanya, or send their children to Sanya to receive better education from childhood.

Of course, these restrictive measures can only be regarded as middle-of-the-road strategies. The most effective way to make the naturalized generals still wholeheartedly serve Haihan after receiving military power is to tie their personal futures with national interests.

In addition to promotions and salary increases and various awards, there is also a secret way to marry and use family interests to consolidate the loyalty of generals. However, for now, the vast majority of time-travelers are not convinced about the future of naturalized officers.

Still on the sidelines, they still prefer internal marriage, and the children are generally still young. If they were to be married early, it would not seem to be harmonious for this group of people who chose to come to this time and space because of their pursuit of freedom.

Perhaps because he had some intention of quitting, Harugong did not choose to lead the troops to participate in the military parade today. Instead, he sat in the viewing stand early with Yan Chujie and others, acting as a leisurely spectator. Next to him was a man who specially came from

Mu Xiabai came back from Ambona Island to participate in the National Day activities. The child sitting on his lap was Mu Xiabai's eldest son.

"There is no way. The child needs to study. There is no decent school in Ambon Island, so we can only send him back to Sanya." Mu Xiabai's appearance at this time did not have the decisiveness of many soldiers. He was completely a

An old father who is worried about his offspring: "After being away for so many years, things have changed a lot here. When I send my children back to study, I have to bring a group of adults with them. It seems that I need to get another suite."

Harugong joked: "You are the Sheriff of Ambona Island. There are so many rich people waiting for the opportunity to flatter you. As long as you reveal it, the people who give away houses will be lined up."

Mu Xiabai said sternly: "That's not necessary. I don't have that little money, so why bother telling the truth? I've already found a dental shop and plan to buy a decent yard here, otherwise I won't be able to send my children back in the future.

Not easy to live in.”

Ambona Island has now become one of the most famous gold-selling caves in the South China Sea. The service industry on the island is very developed. As the local police chief, Mu Xiabai naturally has a backer and has some of his own businesses in the local area.

.In terms of income, he is probably several levels better than the vast majority of people in Sanya who rely on annual dividends from the Cross-Travel Group. Even if he lies down and does nothing from now on, he will be able to live a very prosperous life for the rest of his life.

As for generals like Harugong, who fight on the field all year round and spend almost all their free time at the horse farm, their family background is naturally very different from Mu Xiabai's.

Harugong thought about it silently in his mind. If it weren't for the annual official dividend income, based on the current real estate market price in Sanya, if he wanted to buy a bigger house here, he would probably have to use the pension in his account.

Come out and do something. But this is actually nothing to be upset about. Mu Xiabai gave up on continuing to lead troops in the front-line troops, which means giving up the opportunity to continue to be promoted in the military and withdrawing from the competition with his colleagues. If Mu Xiabai

If Bai doesn’t seize the time to make more money, what can he do to pave the way for future generations?

Mu Xiabai turned his head sideways and lowered his voice and said: "Old Ha, you have been fighting outside for so many years. You have to stop and think about some things. If you are willing to invest some money in business, you can consider putting it in An

If you don’t come to Na Island, the supervision here is not that strict, you can do any kind of business, and you can make money quickly.”

Harugong smiled and thanked Mu Xiabai for his kindness, but did not agree immediately. He probably knew what kind of business Mu Xiabai was talking about. There was so much money flowing on Ampur Island, just by the sea.

Han Bank, an official financial institution, is obviously not enough. As for businesses such as underground banks, outsiders without an official background will definitely not be able to do it. Naturally, they have to be in their own hands. If you use money to invest in shares, or do some business locally,

In other industries, with Mu Xiabai's care, it is indeed not a big problem to make money. However, Harugong's own idea is to take root in the north in the future. If all the industries are placed in the South China Sea, the two places are too far apart. What will happen?

, it is not so convenient to schedule.

In fact, for officials at their level, there are indeed many opportunities to make money without even having to show up or take care of it themselves. This is much easier than killing the enemy on the battlefield. But everyone has his own ambitions, Mu Xiabai

Just like he chose to hand over his military power early and withdraw from the front line, Harugong chose to try his best to keep the operation and development of the Haihan Cavalry on the right track while he could still ride a horse. There is no right or wrong in this. Everyone is doing it.

Just follow the path you are on.

After the cavalry came the artillery unit. As in previous years, the artillery units being reviewed were also drawn from artillery companies from several units. Due to Haihan's limited troop strength, except for Sanya where a large number of artillery units were stationed due to port and coastal defenses,

At present, there are no battalion-sized artillery units in overseas colonies. They are all scattered among the armies stationed in various places. For example, the artillery unit being reviewed today, in addition to the local troops from Sanya, is actually mixed with Danzhou.

Artillery in Haikou and Haikou.

Ordinary people actually have limited knowledge of the role that artillery can play on the battlefield. For weapons such as artillery, they can only roughly judge its power by its appearance. The thicker and bulkier the gun body is, the more powerful it seems. But in reality

The artillery equipment of the Shanghai-Han army and the navy are in the process of gradual replacement. Some old-fashioned artillery that were installed in the early years have been replaced with newer artillery that is lighter and more powerful. What was displayed in the military parade was started in the past two years.

These light field guns installed in the army can be easily pulled away by a pack horse, greatly improving their mobility.

Such light field artillery is not as visually impactful as the cavalry in the eyes of the public. But in the eyes of knowledgeable people, it has a different flavor. The new artillery replaced by Haihan has been replaced in the past two years.

The frequent appearances during the war certainly cannot be concealed from the military observers sent to the Haihan Army by various countries, who are well aware of the power of the new artillery on the battlefield. However, the scope of Haihan's foreign military sales does not include these new artillery.

Therefore, everyone is very coveted. Even the Fujian Xu family and the Annan Kingdom, which have the closest relationship with Haihan, are currently unable to get Haihan to sell such artillery.

As for the Type 36 field guns that various countries bought from Haihan the day before, they are actually still modified versions of old artillery, and there is still a clear gap in combat performance with the field guns equipped by Haihan.

The display of these new artillery pieces in today's military parade also has the intention of showing off force to warn other countries - no matter how many weapons I sell, the most powerful weapons are still in the Haihan Army.

Anyone who wants to challenge Haihan's combat power must first consider whether he can withstand Haihan's artillery attack on the frontal battlefield. You must know that the Spaniards, who used to be the dominant force in the South China Sea, fell to Haihan's artillery this year.

The mouth is still cold at this time.

Following the artillery came the militia. Haihan's militia was not a militia in the traditional sense, but more similar to a reserve force. A considerable number of its members were veterans, and they had certain combat capabilities when armed in wartime.

Although there is definitely a certain gap in combat effectiveness compared to the regular army, if you are dealing with an enemy whose main equipment is cold weapons, you are still relatively confident that you can win.

Among the militia forces in various places, the one with the best equipment and the highest level of training is naturally none other than Sanya. The militia battalion in Sanya consists of four infantry companies, an artillery company, and a logistics company including engineers, communications, medical and other services.

, the force has reached nearly a thousand people, one-third of them, and all officers above the platoon level, have experience in serving in the army. The equipment is almost the same as that of the regular army, and training is often conducted together with the garrison. The only

What is lacking is probably practical experience.

However, it may be difficult to make up for this shortcoming. Under the current environment, militiamen basically have no opportunity to be deployed overseas to participate in combat operations. Being able to participate in military exercises led by the military is probably the upper limit of their actions.

However, the enthusiasm of the onlookers for the militia troops is very high. The reason is very simple, because the militia troops participating in the military parade are mainly local personnel, and there are many relatives and friends in the crowd. Naturally, they have to cheer hard. From time to time, you can see people who are excited.

People showed off loudly in the crowd: "Did you see? The tallest one in the first row is my second boy!"

The appearance of the militia troops is probably the most participatory aspect for the onlookers. At this time, many people will truly feel that these Han people in military uniforms are their relatives.

The garrison that set out first had already arrived at Victory Square, while the militia had just set foot on the scenic avenue. The several-mile-long military parade made the people of Sanya enjoy watching it, and many people were so excited that they even shouted hoarse.

.

The executive committee members sitting in the stands are also quite satisfied with the enthusiasm shown by the people. Although this method of patriotic education is very costly, it has really good results. I believe that within the foreseeable period of time, today's military parade will

It will always be the best talking point for people in this country after dinner.

As for the guests watching the parade on both sides, their psychological activities were all kinds of. The celebrities in Haihan's country were very proud of the strong military power. Several famous literary figures who came from Danzhou to watch the military parade expressed their feelings on the spot.

They began to recite poems and compose poems, and vigorously advocated for the military parade. Of course, only the parties involved knew whether their poems and poems were inspired by the inspiration on the spot or prepared in advance.

Most of the foreign guests were envious and could not hide their jealousy. Fei Cexian, the Ming envoy who left the venue angrily the day before, and Su Keyi, the special envoy of the Dutch East India Company, were also sitting in the stands, although they had many dissatisfaction with Haihan.

, but after getting angry, they had to admit the strength of Haihan's military. As for today's military parade, they had to watch it carefully, record everything they observed, and send it back to the rear as collected military intelligence.
