"Currently, our division has more than 27,000 people, but we only have 72 artillery. At the same time, the caliber of the artillery is very single, 75mm and 155mm. However, the difference in their size is too big, and it is completely unfavorable for the mobility of the entire division. There are too many people, and even logistics is quite troublesome."
"If you use my weapons, you can completely cancel the brigade units of the division and choose the establishment of the first division and the third regiment. Below is also the establishment of the three-three system. Each infantry class has 13 people. A sergeant monitor and a corporal are equipped with submachine guns and pistols. A two-man machine gun group. The remaining nine people use semi-automatic rifles. Under such firepower, light weapons are completely enough. Now there is no opponent in the world."
"Three squads in a row with a 60mm mortar team with four people, a company with 80mm mortar, a battalion with 120mm mortar, a regiment with 75mm artillery, and a division with 105 artillery. The firepower is completely sufficient."
At this moment, Pan Xing asked, "What about the heavy artillery?" He had already looked at the heavy artillery placed at the side.
Wesley smiled and said, "General, you're really impatient. Now that we're talking about heavy artillery, these big guys will never be faster than the infantry. Then we can gather them together and form a brigade, the heavy artillery brigade. The brigade units can be designed as special units, such as the heavy artillery brigade, the engineer brigade, and the cavalry brigade. These special units need to be treated specially because of their special nature. For example, the concentrated use of heavy artillery. If they are scattered, it will be very inconvenient. Not only will it drag down the infantry, but it will also be inconvenient to replenish supplies. At the same time, the journey will not be powerful, but it will be the same if they are concentrated."
"I think the general should be the most clear about the concentrated bombardment of heavy artillery. When the sappers are concentrated, they can be dispersed when necessary, and when building roads and bridges, they can concentrate their manpower. Therefore, brigade units are not set up in groups, but directly in battalion units. Each brigade is assigned with six battalions, which is also a three-three system."
"In this way, it will be easy to disperse and coordinate with the infantry, and it will also be easy to concentrate. We can also gather three division-level troops into armies and assign brigade-level special forces, while the military-level combat units are temporary, such as setting up during the war and then disbanding. The three armies will become an army group. Distributed and combined, they can adapt to any war situation."
After Varus finished speaking, he took a glass of water from the worker next to him and drank it. Wesley was well prepared. Not only did he have water to drink, but everyone did. It was all Coca-Cola.
Wesley waited for them to deplete their energy before pointing at the heavy artillery and saying, "120mm howitzer and 155mm howitzer. These are two types of artillery that the heavy artillery brigade is equipped with. Each type of three-battalion configuration, coupled with the artillery of division-level units, has a multi-layered, multi-position and multi-functional battlefield firepower coverage. I think this is enough, don't you think?"
"Let's hide the heavy artillery!" Pershing was eager to give it a try. Wesley could only get someone to open fire. The two types of artillery were very powerful, and they were both facing the sea to shoot. Otherwise, it would be difficult to show the advantage of distance. West Point was located by the sea. Otherwise, the artillery could not be trained at all. Now it could completely show the advantage of distance. Wesley's design was not the heavy artillery of World War I, but even more than World War II.
"Great, Mr. President, we have to change the equipment of our army. With such equipment, we also need new tactics. This needs to be studied quickly." Pershing said to the President.
The president said helplessly, "My general, I'm not the only one in charge of the United States. Those guys in Congress might not agree, and it's basically difficult to agree. The Navy is fine, but the Army…" Pershing was doused with cold water, but then he looked at Wesley.
"It seems that I need to go to Congress to give a speech, but if I succeed, then I hope to be able to form a battalion-level Marine Corps. When the training is successful, I need to expand it into a brigade."
"Haha, young man, so you've been waiting here. You've just graduated and become a captain, and now you're thinking about the rank of major and brigadier general of the brigade?" Pershing laughed.
"I'm sorry, General. According to my vision, the brigade level is a special combat unit, then the brigade commander should have the rank of major general. Such brigade combat is defined by me as a technical soldier. These soldiers are all soldiers with special skills and should be one level higher than ordinary troops." Pan Xing was dumbfounded. This man was really rude.
"Well, today is an eye-opener for us. As for the Congressional speech, I will arrange it. I hope you will perform well. But why do you want to form the Marine Corps? We already have this unit."
"As far as I'm concerned, that's just the Army making warships. A real Marine should take on more responsibility, especially in coordinating with the Navy for landing operations. But I don't intend to say this here because our Navy is so weak. My shipyard is ready to compete for orders for Marine ships, and my Marines have to have the best warships to cooperate."
"Young man, although you are talented, if you show off so much, you will be besieged by those vampires." Pershing suddenly said.
"Don't worry, General. Their siege has already begun, but so what? What methods can they use? Assassinating them has already been used. It's completely useless. Is it a business method or an administrative method? Moreover, arms and shipbuilding are not very outstanding in the United States. The benefits I encroach on are limited. Besides, I don't have no allies."
Wesley did have allies, but in the past, his allies had wanted to annex him, but now they were more willing to cooperate because they were afraid. For example, Dupont, Rockefeller, Morgan, and so on. Wesley found powerful friends, but which party they belonged to. Wesley gave them a chance to make money, and what they needed was for them to behave.
"That's all for today!" Mr. President left with all the staff, and at this time Principal Clarence walked over with a smile.
"Good job, kid. Although I don't know if you're ready to convince Congress, I have faith in your ideas. Keep working hard."
"Thank you, Mr. Principal."
In the days that followed, Wesley had nothing to do, and the Arsenal had been built. Wesley had the Arsenal stockpile raw materials and steel directly, and the expansion of the shipyard was under way. The shipyard began to add four 5,000-ton yards and four 10,000-ton yards. These were the first phase of the project, and the freighters needed to build Wesley were all containerized and tankers.
