At the wink of the Palace. At a Military Commission meeting, two generals and Zhao Lingxin, along with a group of military commanders, attended together.
The Army Command Building is currently under construction. It's the empire's largest engineering construction, mobilizing human and financial resources to build this superlative building. The Pentagon Building will open no later than next year.
Now, Zhao Lingxin has adjusted the administrative regulations of the Civil Affairs Department. Now it is time for the military to undergo a major surgical change.
This structural change, Zhao Lingxin was confident that it would increase the army's strength several times.
"I think now is the right time for the imperial army to be truly perfect," Zhao Lingxin said at the opening of the meeting that built a lot of people's morale. Because the military commissions have been waiting for this moment.
The military equipment has been modernized as if it were in the Cold War. But the command line of the military and the army department are obsolete. When Zhao Lingxin brought up this issue, they knew that the army would bring a major change.
"Your Majesty, we have been waiting for this moment all along," said Major General Li Fengyang in an emotional voice. The military has always been ignored. Zhao Lingxin always gave a budget for economic development. Until the army had already felt a bit of a disappointment. It was time for Zhao Lingxin to console the little boy named army to become bright again.
"Your Majesty, I propose to take this matter as an urgent agenda," Major General Song Zihua hurriedly said in support of the change. The structure of the Imperial Army was very messy. It needs to be fixed soon.
The two generals knew these problems best. Zhao Lingxin called them back from the front lines to discuss this case.
"I will divide the army into three armies," Zhao Lingxin said in one sentence. But just one sentence expresses the essence of the whole story.
If you want to improve the army to be modern and up-to-date, perform a variety of missions internationally. The only way to do this is to divide the forces into three divisions: Army, Navy and Air. According to the convention of the modern army.
The Army is not a problem. Both military forces, equipment, and Army personnel are considered to be the most complete, with soldiers in their subordinates and command units ready to carry out their orders.
The Air Force cannot be called altogether as there are only a few helicopters. Zhao Lingxin still didn't dare to call this an air force. Zhao Lingxin wanted the Empire to have an air force that shows military power to deal with Martial Artists.
Martial Artists have always been a problem in Zhao Ling Xin's eyes. Especially those who can fly, which is extremely annoying. Anti Aircraft machine guns were unable to respond to the fierce battle. If the Empire had a mighty air force, it could help mitigate this problem.
The Navy is the most problematic. The Empire has zero ground in this field. Because Zhao Lingxin's power base was far from the sea. It has never been developed in this field before. When the Empire merged Dongzhou into the center. The officer has seized the great battleship of the Martial Artists. The secret research institute sent scientists to investigate. But until now, there has been little progress in experimental research.
The inside of the Martial Artist's Great Battleship was full of mysterious maze formations that were hard to know. The complex mechanical pattern created curiosity among the researchers. Scientists estimate that if they can successfully analyze Martial Artists' technology, they can create new technologies. By then, the power of science will change dramatically.
Dr. Chen was interested in Martial Artists' maze formation technology. He tried to crack the code. He believed ordinary humans had to be able to create these magic spells and use them. By using scientific principles to help analyze.
This reform, Zhao Lingxin made a preliminary assessment that the military personnel will be doubled. The government again needs to bear the huge financial burden. Zhao Lingxin immediately threw this matter to General Guo Ling to resolve his financial problems. General Guo Ling held his head after receiving this trouble assignment of Zhao Lingxin.
"Let's talk about the Army first." Zhao Lingxin started his first Army reform. He reorganized the chain of command, appointing another officer to the temporary southern commander in place of Li Fengyang. After that, Major General Li Fengyang was promoted to Lieutenant General to take the Army Commander's position.
Lieutenant General Li Fengyang has been following Zhao Lingxin for a long time. Zhao Lingxin encouraged him to take over the Army as the commander. With the Supreme Commander, Zhao Lingxin, in command.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best," Lieutenant Li Fengyang said with tears. He felt delighted at being entrusted by the Emperor to perform such an important function.
"Does the Army still need a Tank Company?" Zhao Lingxin asked.
"Of course, Your Highness, we want it very much." Major General Song Zihua hastily replied that a little bit of delay will be rejected by Zhao Lingxin.
"Your Majesty, the Tank Company is the heart of the Army. We need this as soon as possible," said Lieutenant Li Fengyang, convincing Zhao Lingxin to approve the tank project.
The Army soldiers are as proud as their companions on the battlefield. It is an influential tank capable of supporting infantry attacks.
In the past, the Empire had a problem with oil, which could not handle the massive consumption of tanks. Also, the engine production line was not complete, the tank project was temporarily withheld.
This time, Zhao Lingxin raised this point and spoke again.
"What kind of tank do you guys want, just tell me." Zhao Lingxin acted like an adult who bought a kid's toy. He was able to summon a tank for analysis and perform a new imitation of the construction without wasting time researching from the beginning.
The Commission held a meeting outside the round. Until reaching the most appropriate conclusion,
"We need a T55 tank," said Lieutenant General Li Fengyang.
The Soviet T55 weighs 36 tons and includes a main weapon, a 100 mm cannon and a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun. This is the king of the battlefield and the nightmares of all the enemies who have faced it.
This model vehicle has been stationed in some Eastern European countries with a more modern update. The T55 is suitable for long-term imperial development. Both mass production and regular periods don't worry about it going out too quickly. It can be further improved and has the easiest manufacturing process. They choose this tank to enter service. After that, several more vehicles were discussed and handed over to Zhao Lingxin for consideration.
"No problem, I will approve this." Zhao Lingxin had no objection to the army. These vehicles didn't take long for the factory to start production. Zhao Lingxin approved the signing of the Army Reform Order to take effect.
The Army Reform Act was then enforced. The three armies were separated from their command, not interfering with each otheronly a request for cooperation and coordination.
Since the Air Force and Navy do not have personnel and officers. Causing Zhao Lingxin to make this decision alone.
Air Force stories are very easy. Zhao Lingxin used an energy point to summon the air soldiers. He then decided to have the Air Force use the German Fw190 A8, also known as the Fw 190.
FW 190 Fighter aircraft range more than 800 kilometers. Speed 650 km / h. Per hour, equipped with an MG machine gun and an air cannon. It is one of the most famous aircraft in World War II.
World Warplanes had so many advantages that they were unique. It can be produced in bulk. As long as the factory and raw materials are ready, it can produce up to 10 aircraft per day, unlike later aircraft that required a lot of time and resources to make.
Zhao Lingxin also required strategic B-52 bombers to serve in the army.
The construction process of the Air Force took a while before it was able to take shape. They must also establish a military-industrial factory under the government's direct control to manufacture replacement military weapons, both planes and tanks. This entire process will take several months together.
The Air Force has been established, and only one of them remains a serious problem now. The Navy requires a lot of advanced technology and is difficult to reverse engineer. The warship needed tens of thousands of tons of steel, communication systems, weapons systems, which had to start from zero. Which the Empire has zero knowledge of this matter.
"Seems I have to do this by myself." Zhao Lingxin stared at the navy plan in his hands.
