Chapter 267, Building an Army, Angry Bear Legion
Gu Hang currently has more than 7000 gift points.
With such a number of gift points, Gu Hang can do a lot of things.
The first thing to do is to build the army.
At present, the alliance's total army strength is about 33, with 38 divisions and brigade-level units, split into multiple army groups, deployed in different places, and performing different tasks.
He calculated that according to the imperial tax standards, when all 38 divisions are fully staffed, the total value is about 600 million tax coins - this is the total value including men and equipment.
According to what was said before, Gu Hang has obtained permission to establish an Astra Militarum legion on the Raging Owl Star.
Even the organization has been reduced.
No. 43.25.09.03 Legion.
This string of numbers is also quite interesting. 43 is the number of the Eastern Universe; 25 is the number of the Dragon Eagle Star Region; 09 is the number of the Pegasus Star Region; 03 is the number of the Raging Owl Star.
Combined, this is the administrative number of Raging Owl in the Imperial Administration Department.
For another example, the human home planet, the capital of the empire, Holy Terra is, 01.01.01.01: Solar Space Domain, Solar Star Domain, Solar Sector, Holy Terra.The last number becomes 2, which is the forge world of Mars, which is the headquarters of the Adeptus Mechanicus, also known as Mars.
The Astra Militarum also likes to do this. Whichever planet the main recruits come from, they will give the new army this number.
Of course, it will be troublesome to call it this way, and it will be difficult to remember if there are too many. It is usually only used for internal documents.Gu Hang could choose his own name and submit it. Generally speaking, the Astra Militarum headquarters would not dwell too much on this matter and would allow it.
Gu Hang gave them a very simple name: Angry Bear Legion.
It is very possible that the name will be the same, it is normal.But it doesn't matter if the name is the same. If the number is good, there won't be any big problem.Whether it is a request for supplies or a transfer order, as long as it is a formal order document, a unique number will be attached to ensure that there will be no errors due to language differences, duplicate names, etc.
The Astral Army that Gu Hang was ordered to create required a total value of more than 250 million tax coins, which was the two-year imperial tax of Raging Owl.
Logically speaking, the tax amount should be 1000 million, and the other 750 million, according to what Gu Hang said before coming here, will be paid by the district government.
The target army is worth 250 million tax coins, and the total value of the alliance army is more than 600 million. Gu Hang will definitely not include all the troops in it.
Even if this Astral Army will be controlled by him, the troops, from officers to army commanders, can be assigned by Gu Hang, and can be stationed on the Raging Owl for a long time. The reason is to guard against possible attacks by the green-skinned orcs and ensure that the Raging Owl The stability of the stars...
But even so, one must be on guard.After all, this force still has to accept the unified command of the Imperial Astra Militarum. If they are sent to fight somewhere with an order, then they will go. Otherwise, can they still disobey the order?
Not without benefits.
The first is tax deduction, and the second is... tax deduction.
However, there are different tax deduction methods.
After establishing this force, the tax of 250 million can be deducted on the spot. In the future, the expansion and daily maintenance of this force will not require any money from the alliance.
If expansion can be obtained with permission, it would be fine if the Ministry of Military Affairs brought the newly expanded troops from outside. If the troops were recruited from the Raging Owl Star, they would be tax deductible;
Routine military maintenance, such as equipment depreciation, ammunition replenishment, and personnel replenishment, is also paid for by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Astra Militarum.
Of course, it is actually impossible to transport troops and equipment from distant other worlds, and they still have to be supported by the Raging Owl Star.And all of these things are tax deductible.
Calculated, a unit with a total price of 250 million tax coins would have an annual maintenance cost of 25 tax coins - provided there is no major war.If you participate in a fierce war and suffer a lot of equipment and personnel losses, the supplementary cost will be calculated separately.
From an economic point of view, planning a part of the Alliance army to become the Astra Militarum - the Raging Bear Legion is not a loss-making business in itself.
As for the extent to which the Raging Bear Legion can be commanded by Gu Hang, that is a matter of extra pure profit.
Gu Hang planned thirteen divisions and entered this legion.
分别是第3屠兽旅,11,12步兵师;14步兵师;26-30步兵师;31空降师;32-33步兵师;35机械旅.
The total strength is 14, which is almost half the strength of the Union Army.But in fact, the number of key mechanical brigades put in is not large, only one.
An infantry division has 1 people, and its construction cost is only 20 tax coins; a fully-equipped mechanical brigade has less than 46 people, but its cost is as high as [-] tax coins.
In order to bring together these thirteen divisions, Gu Hang basically dismantled the group army that was used to regain the northern border, and the Central Group Army that was used to wipe out the three eastern provinces.
Thirteen divisions have received transfer orders. They will be assembled and stationed near the capital, Fuxing City, waiting for the imperial tax officer's arrival in two months for inspection.
Considering this, Gu Hang scratched his head and felt that he needed to expand his army further.
After getting rid of the 'Raging Bear Legion', the number of troops under the alliance army sequence is a bit insufficient.
Gu Hang has several plans for the next step.
First, the Eastern Group Army must be established.The manpower of this part of the army is ready-made. After wiping out the eastern provinces, Yan Fangxu established local militia troops in the three eastern provinces and stationed them there. The total number is about 10.
Gu Hang planned to reorganize half of them into the 39-45 Division on the spot, using the establishment of a garrison division. Each division has 6260 people. It does not even need armored vehicles. It is enough to provide a large number of motorcycles and Iron Bull trucks for motorization.
The reorganization of these seven garrison divisions is expected to be completed within a month. After all, there is no need to produce or configure too much new equipment.There are many ready-made stocks of artillery, trucks, and individual equipment.As for the training of the troops, Gu Hang clicked on it in the military card system and spent some gift points. One point is required for 100 people, which is not expensive.
Then, the other half was reorganized into a regular army and five divisions were established. The 5th and 46th divisions are organized as mechanical brigades, and the 47th-48th divisions are organized as infantry divisions.
These five divisions cannot be dealt with immediately.Although the troops are training quickly, these five divisions have a large amount of equipment that requires additional production.
Various armored vehicles, tanks, fixed heavy bolters as company-level firepower... The current inventory of the Military Logistics Department is seriously insufficient, and even owes a lot.
Especially armored vehicles and tanks.
At present, the alliance's monthly production of Lion tanks has reached 34 units; the monthly output of armored vehicles has reached 160 units.
These are the two most choked pieces of equipment in current army construction.Not to mention the newly established troops, even the old mechanical brigade theoretically needs 1 tanks per brigade at full strength. It has not been completed yet, except for the 35st Chifeng Brigade, which has an additional tank battalion. It has been fully organized, and in the future, we only plan to prioritize the [-]th brigade that will be incorporated into the Raging Bear Legion.
The remaining mechanical brigades generally only have eighteen tanks.
If he wanted to really start the steel flood, Gu Hang had to find a way to increase the production of tanks and armored vehicles.
And this matter is already on its way.
On the one hand, Weixingcheng has been working hard to expand production capacity; on the other hand, the production lines that are constantly being built are spilling over to surrounding provinces.
In addition to easing the production pressure in Weixing City, it is also necessary to boost the production levels of other provinces, solve employment problems, and unleash the potential of human resources.
This has already begun.Some heavy industry and military industry factories have also been opened in those places.
For example, other areas in the central province have taken over the manufacturing of many individual equipment manufacturing plants and various engineering machines; the Gaota Province has taken over a vehicle parts production plant and begun to set up its own automobile production plant on the spot. The production line for armored vehicles is also in place.
The North-Central Province is particularly worth mentioning.
Originally, this was the province with the smallest population within the administrative division of the alliance.However, after the Northern Territory was recovered, a considerable part of the land and population were divided into the Central and Northern Provinces, and the rest was established as the Northern Territory Province.Inherited many legacies of the Polar Industrial Group, even the Polar Industrial City was placed in Zhongbei Province and renamed Guangbei City.The upgrading of related technology industries has been very impressive in recent times.
The Central and Northern Provinces can now build tanks!
This model was already considered by Gu Hang.
Weixingcheng Industrial Center will be established first, and then we will use the first wealth to drive the later wealth, and radiate to the surrounding areas.Other regions will first be positioned as suppliers of consumer goods, food, and raw materials, and then gradually absorb overflow production capacity.
Now, we have reached the second step.
As the industrialization of all parties continues to advance, the alliance's industrial capabilities will surely continue to maintain high growth for a period of time - even higher growth than in the past.
If calculated based on the situation before the increase in production, these five division and brigade-level units belonging to Army Group Center, especially the two mechanical brigades, can be completed in about three months.
If the situation of expanding production capacity is ideal, then this time may be shortened to within two months.
In training these troops, apart from the problems that need to be solved in terms of weapons and equipment, the other thing is the training of soldiers.
The militia units currently established in the eastern provinces have no formal establishment and have not been trained with gift points.
The two armies have added a total of about 10 people. In addition, the 34th Infantry Division, the 37th Mechanical Brigade, and the 38th Mechanical Brigade, which were sent to the Black Arrow Star in the first phase of the Expeditionary Force and were crippled, also need to be replenished. .The direct personnel losses of these three divisions reached nearly [-]. In addition to the battle dead, many disabled people were also transported back and completed the decommissioning procedures.
The personnel gap of [-] will also be replenished during this army build-up.
For these three divisions, pensions for the killed and disabled are on the one hand.
On the other hand, Gu Hang also gave these three divisions awards as promised.For third-class collective merit, all troops under the three divisions up to the company level are allowed to affix a single sword behind a shield on their flags and unit number armbands. This is proof of honor.Individual companies were awarded second-class collective merit; some combat heroes, whether alive or dead, disabled or intact, even received personal medals.
The collective medal is okay, it is just a bonus for the soldiers, and it is mainly reflected in the honor of the unit; the individual medal is very valuable, which means that the alliance recognizes their merits.As long as they do not commit crimes in the future, these medals will enable them to receive a small but very good supplementary allowance for life.
At the same time, almost all participants in the war quickly adjusted their military ranks upwards, and a large number of personnel were promoted to officers.
These soldiers who have been promoted in rank, or even become officers, have also been promoted in their positions.There are platoon commanders who are promoted to company commanders, company commanders who are promoted to battalion commanders, and even regimental commanders.
Even if the original troops cannot accommodate so many officers, it doesn't matter. The twelve new divisions have a large number of officer vacancies, and they can be transferred out to fill these troops.
In order to train these troops, Gu Hang spent 1000 and [-] gift points.
This is not a big amount.
As long as you don't build an army with millions of people, the cost of gift points for training troops will never be too much.
...
After planning the gift points for troop training, Gu Hang now has more than 6000 gift points left on hand.
Gu Hang thought for a moment and decided to use it to draw technology.
He could smoke [-] gears, but there was no need.
The greatest value of a 25-level technology tree mainly comes from the [-]% probability of producing epic technology.
But... even if the epic technology is drawn, there may be nowhere to digest it.That's a bit too high-end for the current industrial level of Raging Star.
What's more, the technology pool of the 1000 gift level has not been drained yet.In this gear, although the probability of drawing out is 57.5%, he can draw a few more times.
He started with a six-stroke draw.
The first shot was empty, the second shot was also empty; the third shot was a basic level shot; the fourth shot was an advanced level shot; the fifth shot was empty; and the sixth shot was a basic level shot again.
The two basic levels are [HS6 electromagnetic gun family] and [artillery modification] technology.
They are all relatively ordinary things, and there are basically no particularly big changes.
Electromagnetic rifles and laser guns are highly substitutable for each other. The power, performance, and cost of the two are almost at the same level.The main difference is that when facing different enemies, the two will behave differently.
Generally speaking, mature and elite Astra Militarum troops will be equipped with these two rifles at the same time on a large scale - all G series live ammunition rifles will be eliminated and used by ordinary Astra Militarum troops.
But this thing...for Raging Owl Star, it is more of a technical reserve.
A set of laser guns or electromagnetic rifles, with various complete individual equipment, costs 4 tax coins; while a set of G9 only costs 0.2 tax coins.There's a lot of money difference.
Gu Hang can't afford it yet.
But the artillery technology is very impressive.It is also a 155mm howitzer. Compared with the modified one, the current homemade one has a very different range and power.
Especially in terms of range, it can be extended to 40 kilometers, which is doubled.
At the same time, for some small-sized artillery, such as the 88 howitzer and the 60 gun, the power, range, and stability will become stronger.
This is very good, and it will truly strengthen the alliance's army.
As for the advanced technology, Gu Hang was even happier.
