Chapter 95: Reforming the Military System and Planning for the Long-term

While Zhao Xing was determined to improve steelmaking technology and discussed with everyone, he also drastically transformed and organized the existing military forces of Wohu City. In the blast furnace steelmaking, Zhao Xing understood the basics and proposed development directions and ideas. However, things like reforming the military system and arms and establishing military training institutions were like a fish in water and easy to do for Zhao Xing, who was deeply influenced by Taizu's idea of ​​establishing the army.

The commanding officer of the Ace Special Forces, his most important value is reflected in his military strategic literacy, rather than simply being a killer and an assassin. Everyone needs to remember this!

Zhao Xing, in his previous life, had a deep understanding of military strategies, formations, military composition, military command, military informatics, military psychology, military logistics and other fields from ancient times to the present. He came to Zhao Xing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After careful observation and deep thinking in the past few years, he made a series of far-reaching military reforms.

First, attach great importance to the systematic training of military command talents. This can be seen from his behavior of cultivating the revolutionary successor "Little Tigers". With the strong promotion of Zhao Xing, the Wohu Martial Arts Hall was created in a flat place on the hillside of the Taihang Mountains behind Wohu City. At the beginning of the establishment of the martial arts hall, there was only one teacher, that was Zhao Xing! Not to mention Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Tian Feng were both extremely intelligent. Compared with the military strategic thinking of the Taizu system, Zhao Xing was also qualified to give lectures to them! There were very few students in the first martial arts hall, only dozens of people, which were all the current civil servants and generals under Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing had to pass on all the inventory in his mind to these subordinates in the shortest time, and in the future they would serve as instructors to cultivate subsequent military command talents. To put it bluntly, Zhao Xing was a spark and a piece of yeast.

Second, attach great importance to the acquisition and control of political and military information. Since ancient times, what is the top priority in war? It is intelligence! Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles. If you don’t know the other party’s background, you will rush forward without knowing your life. When you have equal strength, you can still have a life left and lose both sides. But if the other party knows you and sets a trap for you to drill into it, then you will be waiting for someone to be burned, flooded, or hit by stones.

It's a food outlet or a chrysanthemum, you'll die miserably... Zhao Xing secretly vowed since the beginning of the army that his army would never let his army be blind in combat information, and be fooled by others as monkeys. While establishing the martial arts lecture hall, Zhao Xing secretly established two secret troops, one named "Crouching Tiger Security Bureau". This unit was directly led by Zhao Xing, and only absorbed Jia Xu and Li Jinsi, and the rest did not know about this.

Third, a geographical surveying and mapping agency and a sand table production agency were established. In the three years since Zhao Xing came to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, what he was most unacceptable to was the lack of accurate map use, which was a fatal weakness for the two armies that paid attention to fighters and timing. The maps of this period were as simple and fallible as they were. Sometimes the places marked on the map were hundreds of miles away from the actual location. Zhao Xing did not think of creating something as awesome as satellite maps, he just sent a large number of whistles.

Explore carefully record the terrain, landforms, properties and city conditions of various places, record the approximate time required to walk or ride a horse, and after repeated explorations, you must always be more refined. As for the production of the sand table model, this is what Zhao Xing thought of when teaching the Little Tigers, that is, to make a rough model of mountains, rivers, but even so, it made the children very excited. With the sand table, everyone no longer talked about it on paper, but started the deduction of the pictures and sand tables in a very good manner.

Fourth, improve the configuration of each military service. According to the actual needs of the war at that time, Zhao Xing changed the original simple infantry and cavalry two types to: the first, the high-speed mobile combat troops suitable for plain combat - cavalry (including heavy-armor assault force and light-armor long-range shooting force and guerrilla scouts); the second, the second, the slow-speed assault troops suitable for offensive operations and low-equipped equipment - light-armor infantry (including knives and axes, long-bows, crossbows, and spear throwers); the third, the low-speed defensive troops suitable for defensive operations - heavy-armor infantry (including Modao, large and small shields, long-sedge soldiers and spearmen); the fourth, the assault troops suitable for siege and mountain combat; the fifth, the auxiliary troops responsible for battlefield agitation, medical treatment, and logistics support; the sixth, the navy troops responsible for rivers, lakes and sea combat (currently vacant).

Fifth, learn from the modern military system and reorganize the military system. At present, Zhao Xing temporarily divides his troops into five levels: army, division, regiment, battalion, and company. The highest commander of each branch of troops is the division commander, and the highest commander of the subordinate full-time troops is the regiment commander or battalion commander. More than 100 people under the battalion commander set up a company commander and three deputy company commander. In addition to the division commander, each division has one chief of staff, one deputy division commander, and several officers accompanying the army.

Specifically, Zhao Xing, the Pingbei General, who had no soldiers and horses, now took over the position of commander of the Wohu Army, with the deputy commander being Guan Yu and the military advisor being Jia Xu; Zhao Yun was the commander of the Cavalry Division, with the deputy commander temporarily missing (the next step is likely to be a super talented person), and the military advisor is vacant (who do you guess it will be?); the position of commander of the heavy armored cavalry subordinate to the Cavalry Division is Hu Cheer, and the position of commander of the Light Cavalry is Guo Changzi. Zhang Liao is the commander of the Light Infantry Division, with Pei Yuanshao and Fang Yue as the commander of a certain regiment; Xu Huang is the commander of the Heavy Infantry Division, with Li Jinwu and Zhou Cang as the commander of a certain regiment; the rest of the positions are temporarily vacant for various reasons. Dian Wei is responsible for the guard battalion, while Li Jinsi is mainly responsible for the work of the "Safety Bureau" with Jia Xu.

Sixth, establish a special recruitment and training institution to separate from the field troops. Zhao Xing plans to establish a special recruitment office, with the local government office mainly responsible, and the troops send people to station to inspect and accept. Establish a special recruit training regiment to separate training and combat, which can not only ensure the systematicity and coherence of training, but also prevent ambitious generals from abducting Zhao Xing's troops.

Zhao Xing had several generals who were particularly suitable for training, namely Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Yu Jin and Chen Dao. Gao Shun's "Stealing Camp", Qu Yi's "First Dead Soldier", and Chen Dao's "Bai Er elite soldiers" were famously powerful. At present, Zhao Xing has already obtained Qu Yi, so let him do it first! Zhao Xing also formed a "Shadow" unit, which is another of the two secret units. The "Crouching Tiger Security Bureau" mainly conducts intelligence collection, analysis and summary. The main task of the "Shadow Force" is to carry out assassination, destruction, kidnapping, rescue and other activities behind enemy lines. Of course, it also has the function of collecting information and intelligence. This is also the prototype of the special forces unit like Zhao Xing's previous life. Zhao Xing thought that if Wang Yue or his apprentice were invited to be instructors, it would be very enjoyable.

Seventh, the "Little Tiger Team" was officially upgraded to the "Crouching Tiger Young People Class". Starting to teach various scientific and cultural knowledge of the "Next Generation of Revolution" according to age, and select outstanding young people as the reserve team for future command generals.

Eighth, establish a special logistics support agency. The role of this agency will be specifically reflected in the following text.

Ninth, establish a special military equipment research and development institution. The role of this institution will also be specifically reflected in the following text.
