1717 New American Empire

Xiao Lin first drew up a plan, but it has not been put into practice for the time being. Now, he still has more important morale to do it. And this matter is also something that many soldiers in the company have been looking forward to for a long time. The company now has 13,000

With more than a thousand troops, the battalion-level organization is no longer suitable. If you want to calculate it carefully, there will be a full 130 battalion commanders. This is not only inconvenient for military command, but also inconvenient for the old people who have made great achievements following Xiao Lin.

Unfair.

The original plan was to start preparing for a regiment-level organization. However, because there were too many new recruits, the regiment-level organization was not enough. According to the three-three system, there would have to be more than thirty regiment leaders, which was still too many.

There are too many, and it seems a bit inconvenient to manage without the presence of a higher level. Moreover, Xiao Lin plans to further expand the number of troops to 20,000 within this year, and the regiment-level organization alone is no longer enough.

Therefore, Xiao Lin decided to set up a brigade-level organization. As the three veteran generals with the greatest contribution to the company, Xiao Lin personally taught the command skills to the founding army. This time, Apache, James and Babu were appointed

It was time to take on a heavy responsibility. The three-person team was reorganized, with one regiment of old guard soldiers as the base, two regiments of new recruits, and a cavalry company to form a front-line combat battalion with a combat strength of 2,800-3,000.

The reason why there are two hundred vacancies in the number is to leave three brigade commanders to recruit and train the cavalry. The company has fought several battles and captured a large number of war horses, but in total there are still only five hundred horses.

That's it, there are not enough three hundred men at the base. They can only give one hundred to each battalion, and they have to deal with the rest by themselves. As long as they have that ability and seize another two hundred horses, they can successfully form a cavalry battalion with the same number of people.

We can gather 3,000 people.

The machine gun firepower of the main regiment composed of the original escort battalion soldiers will be doubled again. Light machine guns will be equipped to the squad, with a total of thirty. Heavy machine guns will be equipped with the platoon, with a total of ten. Mortars will also be equipped with the platoon, with one

There are ten gates in the camp, one

The regiment has thirty guns. The two new regiments have the same firepower as the previous escort battalion. The non-commissioned officers, lieutenants and school officers will be equipped with Type 17 pistols. The entire battalion will be equipped with ten light machine guns and three heavy machine guns.

and ten Raider-1 mortars.

Because the heavy artillery was not organized, Xiao Lin did not equip the army with a separate artillery unit. Xiao Lin transferred all the soldiers with a little cultural knowledge together. A total of 3,000 people were gathered together to form an artillery brigade, which was led by Xiao Lin himself.

Lead. For the time being, there are only fifty gates

Heavy Fist Type 1 artillery and seventy Heavy Fist Type 2 artillery pieces. Heavy Fist Type 1 artillery were all stocks previously produced and sold to the Charles family and the Trader Tribe. Because the two forces were integrated into the company, these artillery pieces returned to the stock market.

In the hands of the company, it is equivalent to a business without capital.

The power of the heavy punch type 1 artillery is good, but it cannot form an overwhelming advantage over the British or French artillery units. Xiao Lin and He decided not to produce it as a last resort, and only sealed a set of production equipment with a small output. The rest

The company's equipment has been converted into production equipment for the Heavy Fist II artillery. The company will continue to use the Heavy Fist II artillery for a long time. Even if it is eliminated in the future, it will be an excellent weapon for any other force.

It's a good weapon and you won't lose money if you sell it.

The 3,200 Type 54 howitzers that Xiao Lin just purchased have not yet been shipped to the place. Even if they are shipped to the place, they will not be able to form a large number of combat effectiveness until they are thoroughly disassembled and studied by the research team and a complete production process is formed.

The main reason is that there are too few artillery shells. At least twenty cannon shells must be gathered into one cannon to support a battle. The three heavy punches, I thought Xiao Lin's unintentional suggestion allowed Zhao Menghai to solve the most critical problem.

About to enter the production process.

Normally, artillery brigades train intensively. When fighting comes, they will temporarily join each front-line field brigade or a large force composed of several brigades in the form of companies, battalions or regiments, or even the entire brigade. At that time, the main force will be

The command will be handed over to the commander of each front-line field brigade or the commander-in-chief designated by Xiao Lin. The deputy command will naturally remain in Xiao Lin's hands, mainly to ensure the strong combat effectiveness of the artillery unit just in case.

The total number of the four brigades was almost 12,000. The remaining people formed two brigades of new recruits. The equipment of these three brigades was relatively poor. Revolvers were used instead of Type 17 pistols.

The number of mortar light machine guns and heavy machine guns is only half of that of other new regiments. These three

This regiment is a second-line garrison regiment, and it is also used by Xiaolin to place the warrior leaders who have surrendered to the Charles family and the Trader tribe. Most of these people are already in grade, and it is difficult for them to pass the company's commander training course and finally

assessment, so the frontline field army is absolutely not allowed to go.

However, we can't just abandon them, otherwise we won't be able to set an example of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars. They are also quite self-aware and know their own abilities. Besides, Xiao Lin has completely changed their clothes, at least

Everyone has a Yanhuang Type 1 rifle. It is not comparable to the Hall M1819 rifle they used before. Since both clan leaders paid for this rifle, it is considered their private property and it is not easy for Xiao Lin to confiscate it.

Especially Alger, who was Xiao Lin's other father-in-law, and Xiao Lin didn't have such shamelessness. Xiao Lin directly paid for those Hall guns and turned them into militiamen for use. Xiao Lin planned to organize five thousand

For the militia, these rifles are just for them to train and assist in defense. Because the militia has received less attention and its composition is more complicated, Xiao Lin feels that it cannot guarantee the militia’s absolute loyalty to the company, so giving the Yanhuang Type 1 rifles, Xiao Lin feels

Not safe.

However, Xiao Lin's elder brother-in-law, Toss, was not willing to serve as the brigade commander of a garrison brigade. He was only twenty-seven years old, in the prime of life, his physical strength and thinking were still improving, and he was close to the peak. How could he want to stay in the rear to retire?

Toss made a bet with Xiao Lin, as long as he could finish the work on time

After training at the military academy and achieving good results in the final assessment, Xiao Lin upgraded the equipment of his garrison brigade to a front-line field brigade. Now, he and some of his old subordinates have entered the company's junior military academy to learn about the company

combat techniques and concepts.

As for the troops, they are temporarily undergoing training under the auspices of officers drawn from the escort team. This time, the people in the escort team have also been promoted. Those who are still young and good at learning and progress will go to the main brigade and be promoted to one level, that is, squad leaders.

The platoon leader becomes the company commander, the company commander becomes the battalion commander or even the regiment commander. Those who are old, whose physical strength cannot keep up, or who have been injured in a previous battle, will join the garrison regiment.

Take office.

Naturally, the welfare benefits will still be increased, which is also an explanation for these old heroes. After calculation, the number of troops is actually not enough. There are six brigades in total, nearly 17,000 people, and the company only has 13,000

Thousands of people. The remaining four thousand people are all real recruits newly recruited. The previous ten thousand recruits cannot be regarded as 100% recruits after one battle. After training for a period of time, they can be used as veterans.

.

In fact, it stands to reason that Xiao Lin does not have enough adult men in his hands. However, the Charles family once again contributed some people. Plus the 500 adults brought by the God of War, and what happened to the company during this time

The people who came to seek refuge had already made up one-third of the gap. For the other two-thirds, Xiao Lin used people that no one in the company had thought of, and that was the black slaves Xiao Lin bought.

Thanks to Xiao Lin's hard work, white people and Indians in the company have been able to maintain basic harmony, and there have been no disputes caused by racial discrimination. However, these black people, whether they are white people or Indians, feel a little looked down upon.

.These black people who have been trained by slave traders are really a bit servile. Every day they work hard and complete the physical work assigned by the company. Then they go to the collective cafeteria to eat nonsense, and then go home and go to bed early.

.

In the company, everyone who wants to improve their status and get more salary will use their free time every day to hone their abilities and learn new knowledge. Driven by these people, others will not be completely satisfied during their breaks.

When playing, you always need to learn something new. The development of the company does not require people who will follow orders rigidly, but people who love to learn, have their own ideas, and constantly improve their abilities. Moreover, Xiao Lin also continues to promote everyone

The concept of equality and respect for freedom.

Therefore, they look down on these black people who are willing to be slaves and only know how to work, eat, drink, and sleep. Regardless, Xiao Lin really does not have enough adult men in his hands now. If he were to draw from civilians of the two ethnic groups,

, then a lot of production can no longer be completed. As Xiao Lin shipped more and more machinery and equipment, the company's demand for labor was not that big. And now, in the company, except for the latest ones who joined the company just a few days ago,

People, only these black people are laborers.

The trade relationship between Xiao Lin and the slave trader Ijik was not interrupted during the war. Added up, the number of black people in the company has reached more than 4,000. From among them, 2,000 of the most obedient black people were selected.

Officially entered the military camp and prepared to start recruit training. These people had no objections to the director's arrangements. The tiring training in the army was nothing to these black people who had suffered a lot. On the contrary, those who had improved more than one

The high-quality food makes them care more.

After these black men have been trained, there is no problem in serving as garrison soldiers. However, they will definitely not be able to enter the front-line field troops.
