Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6631: Success and failure

Chen Xi is a typical example of someone who makes early plans when he is sure to fight against Kushan. Therefore, he has been working hard to promote the rotation system since ten years ago, constantly accumulating veterans, and then setting up a veteran resettlement office to continuously absorb veterans into the armed forces of factories and mines in various places and the production and construction corps.

Among them, the difference between the armed forces of factories and mines and the army is really just a change of place for these retired veterans. In the past, they did morning exercises, evening exercises, and physical training. Now they still do morning exercises, evening exercises, and physical training. They just don’t have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but they have more hunting in the wilderness.

After all, the early large factories and mines were all in the wild, and the number of beasts in the early days was still very large, and they needed to be cleared regularly. This behavior was actually not much different from a small-scale scout war.

As for the production and construction corps, there is nothing much to say. When repairing roads normally, if you encounter mountain barbarians and can’t persuade them, you will not hesitate to use force. Although the frequency of action has dropped sharply over time, many brothers who retired to the production and construction corps have distorted skills later, but you can say whether there is a difference between organizational ability and the army.

No, really not. For example, the gray-beating teams led by Dong Zhe can fight ordinary elite legions without any problems. The dynamic continuous output of a talent alone is enough to stun many normal legions. Maybe the explosive power is not as good as before, but it depends on whether it lasts or not.

In addition, with these retired veterans, the military service of young and strong people in state-owned factories and mines and local militia organizations in various places has become more formal. The requirements of the old men who have been on the battlefield for military service are not a joke. They really make you practice certain life-saving skills to death.

Of course, this is the early stage. When the number of retired veterans reaches a certain level, local military service and martial arts performances will also start to develop from the formalism of the past.

There is no way. After the number of regular troops increases to a certain level, local martial arts performances will naturally roll up, and military service will naturally start to increase in intensity. Some recruits even master the elite talents passed on to them by their elders during military service without ever going to the battlefield.

Although it is just an elite talent, it means that after Chen Xi took over, the Han Dynasty has caught up with the hundred-year military service in the mountains of Beigui in just a few years. And some things, if the scale is large enough, once they keep up with the other party, it is only a matter of time to surpass them.

"So, now as long as it is necessary, the Han Dynasty can quickly pull up about two million elite talents, middle and lower-level basic command personnel, and elite veterans to support the army?" Bai Qi covered his forehead. He felt that the reality was too crazy. In the past, he thought it was ridiculous to see Han Xin commanding two million troops in the battle situation in his dreams, but now the ridiculous things are reflected in reality.

Chen Zichuan, you are really out of line!

"We can only raise two million now, but the intensity of military service has been increasing in the past two years, and with the popularization of muscle-building needles, meat, eggs and milk, the quality of the young and strong in the Han Dynasty has been improving year by year. It is estimated that this data will increase significantly in the next two years. The biggest problem at present is the middle and low-level command, that is, the number of backbones with high smelting is too small." Chen Xi pointed to the huge number of young and strong people and the high-smelting backbones with only a few thousand scales, which was somewhat troublesome.

Chen Xi's original plan was to have an army of three million, with 30,000 high-smelting backbones as the middle and lower-level command. The soldiers with single talents will take the adaptive route in the next two years, successfully complete the talent change, and then equip the entire army with shield guard heavy armor. In this way, as long as the generals are at a normal level, there will be basically no accidents.

As a result, it is not a big problem to have 3 million soldiers at present. The equipment is better than what I estimated back then. The only problem is the number of high-melting soldiers, which was not a problem before. There are only 6,200 veterans of the fourth level and above in the front and rear of the Han Dynasty. What the hell, and more than 80% of them are only fourth-level smelting, which is a headache.

"I think it's like this. In fact, you don't have to ask too much. I think it's a bit too much for a veteran of the fourth level to be a centurion. This is enough. The opponent is Kushan? You just need to drive over this army, and Kushan is nothing but rotten fish and shrimp..." Han Xin looked at Chen Xi with an expression of looking at a god. You have already accumulated such a force, and you still have to consider it. Just smash it.

What level is Kushan, worthy of being beaten by such an army?

What mechanism does this army need? This is pure value. More than half of the army may be reinforced full-armor shield guards. Any sharp soldier will die if they encounter this kind of thing. If the Miracle Legion can break out of this shield guard sea, it is worthy of the title of true miracle.

"I think they are somewhat dissatisfied with the veterans of the fourth level of smelting becoming centurions of this kind of shield guard with one talent. With their level, it may be difficult to become a centurion in the Imperial Guards, but it is also possible. You may make them a little dissatisfied." Bai Qi said with a smile. Veterans also have to have face!

"Ah, these young and strong are trained by them. They are the instructors of military service." Chen Xi scratched his head. He really didn't think this was a problem.

Although it sounds outrageous, the military service of the Han Dynasty was indeed like this. Take Jiang Guang for example. Although Jiang Guang was a captain of Zhongshan State, every year when the military service of Zhongshan State competed with the military service of the neighboring Changshan State, there really had to be a winner. Jiang Guang had to take off his armor and face off against Jiang Fei head-on to compete for the real winner. In this atmosphere, the veterans would do very outrageously.

Another example is Yu Mang, who has the fifth level of smelting. Although he is on a temporary assignment in Taishan County, he has been in Dongwang Village, his hometown, for many years. The militia of Dongwang Village is led by Yu Mang. Under the leadership of Yu Mang, those militia can encircle and suppress Wang Yue, the boundary-breaker, start the war mode, and use legion attacks to attack.

Even if Yu Mang complains that if these militia were his elites in the Ganges battlefield, they would definitely be able to stop Wang Yue. Now there are only a few qualified elite veterans in this group of people, and the rest are trash. The problem is that the militia who can stop the boundary-breaker under the leadership of Yu Mang, this quality is not bad at all, and it is already a qualified regular army in the battlefield of the empire.

This level of militia, after switching the elite talent to adaptive and putting on the shield armor with defensive etching produced by Chen Xi, is the backbone of the empire battlefield. Basically, as long as they don’t encounter legions with talents such as shock convergence and will penetration, they can rely on relatively reliable basic qualities and thick heavy armor to delay even if they can’t win.

The problem is that at least millions of these things will be released at that time. Chen Xi doesn't believe that any restraint legion can have so many. Isn't the summary of thousands of years of world war history that when there is no generation gap in weapons and equipment, ordinary weapons that can be equipped on a large scale are more likely to win than legions with a few powerful weapons?

Chen Xi believes that the Kushan Empire must have elite legions that can easily blow up these heavy shield guards, but Chen Xi doesn't believe that the Kushan Empire can take out dozens of elite legions that can easily blow up these heavy shield guards, and even if there are dozens of elite legions that can easily blow up these heavy shield guards, facing more than 500 such fully staffed heavy shield guard legions, Chen Xi really doesn't believe it.

Bai Qi and Han Xin really couldn't hold it back at this time. It turned out that the veterans of the four-fold smelting who came back from the front line were either doing military service in factories and mines or in the infrastructure legion, or were militia coaches? Aren't there any people doing other things?

"Because these jobs pay well and are respectable." Chen Xi said helplessly, "When we made a promise to the veterans, we said that we would give them a respectable life. Let's be honest, even if they go home to farm, it's not bad to have such a deputy position."

"All veterans above the fourth level of smelting are discharged by me personally. Most of them are arranged as the security department of large handicraft workshops near factories, mines and farms after their native places are determined, and they are also responsible for factory and mine training. Or if they retire late, after the security department of nearby factories, mines and farms is arranged, they will be arranged as the militia captain of the township, or county official." Liu Bei explained on behalf of Chen Xi. He knew this thing better than Chen Xi.

In fact, most veterans of the fourth level of smelting are the security department of medium-sized state-owned factories and mines. As for large state-owned factories, mines, farms and workshops, the fifth level of smelting sometimes can't even get this position.

As for the militia captain of the township, these people often serve concurrently. As for the county official, as long as the fourth-level smelting brother has a better relationship with people, and the fifth-level smelting local brother does not go too far and refuses to move, it is no problem to get a county lieutenant in the county.

As for some brothers who are unwilling to return to their hometown, it is easier to arrange them. There are actually many positions suitable for this level. If they are willing to be deputy positions, there are even more. However, in most cases, the brothers who come back from the front line would rather get a full-time position in the township than a higher-level deputy position. After all, the former's life is really happy.

To be honest, this situation is actually a bit dangerous for local management. It is thanks to the fact that many veterans in various counties go to the countryside for inspection. Some brothers who are more direct and foolish will come down to see if there are any stupid brothers who are bullying the township.

Thanks to the integration of villages and villages, it is relatively easy to manage. As long as you keep a closer eye on them, there will generally not be such a situation where veterans of this level bully the people in the village. However, it is just average. After all, we cannot expect all veterans to have morals above the average level. Occasionally, there will be some situations that will make Liu Bei furious.

Generally speaking, veterans of this level have basically fulfilled the honors and decent lives promised to them by Liu Bei and Chen Xi.

Of course, there are also situations where there are several immortal veterans in one village. Generally speaking, when this happens, some people will transfer to other places to become officials, but occasionally there will be more strange situations. For example, everyone is unwilling to become an official in other places, and they are interested in the local militia captain. I don’t want to bully the people in the village, I just like this kind of rural atmosphere to stand out!

Go out to be an official? What the hell, just give me the highest rank, I want to be the captain of the super top-level Thousand Stone Militia in our village, my rank is higher than the county magistrate, I will brag locally, open the eyes of the villagers, do something for them, let them know that I am outstanding.

It's outrageous, right? But Liu Bei has encountered this outrageous situation more than ten times, especially the situation where there are four or five immortal veterans in a village, there will definitely be a reversal, to be an official in other places, to be a coach, to be a Du Bo of the Security Department, what the hell, I must be in the local area, part-time as the captain of the local militia, only in this way can I show my awesomeness!

Especially those brothers who have a good relationship with the locals, they are more and more determined in this regard. Even if I am a six-fold smelting, I will be the captain of the local militia, let our village know me, and let the villagers who have seen me get to know me well.

A county lieutenant with a salary of 2,000 shi is nothing. I have a strong attachment to my hometown. I just want to return home in glory!

Why didn't Lao Lu, who is one of the top guys among the gods, become the general leader of Xuzhou's military service? It's because he is determined to go back to his hometown and be the captain of the militia in his hometown, do some things for the villagers, and let them know how well he is doing!

If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking at night in brocade clothes, brother!

Being a county lieutenant with a salary of 2,000 shi in other counties hundreds of kilometers away is not as good as being a county lieutenant with a salary of 2,000 shi in my own county, and then being a fucking lieutenant with a salary of 1,000 shi in my hometown where I was born and raised. Do you understand how the locals look at me? I feel so good when I do things for these fellow villagers! I feel so good! Get ahead, do you understand?

What's the point of running hundreds of miles away to be a county lieutenant? Going back to your hometown once or twice a year and burning incense, it's a miracle that the locals can remember you. I'm in the local area every day, and the locals know me. This is the treatment of the local nobles. I'm so happy.

Many veterans may not have thought so far, but even if there is a more promising future, they don't want to leave once they get to their home. Even if they are about to become supermen, they will not change the four seasons to visit their parents' and ancestors' graves when they can find their own ancestral graves.

Chen Xi estimated that in the current situation, even if someone really reaches the level of immortals and gods in the future, and has the ability to leave the planet and destroy the galaxy with a wave of his hand, he will probably stay on this planet - why do you think immortals with such power still stay on Earth? Why? This is my home! What do you care about my strength and status? It's none of your business if I go back to my home. The graves of my parents and ancestors are all here!

This is the hometown, it is inheritance. It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that the official positions and titles prepared by Liu Bei and Chen Xi in the early years have not been issued yet, and there are even large vacancies. The more than two thousand stones prepared for the six-fold smelting have not been issued, and the Du Bo of the security department of medium and large factories and mines prepared for the five-fold smelting have not been issued. Instead, the militia captains in the village often encounter dimensionality reduction attacks.

You should know that in the previous plan, the militia captain in the township will generally not be higher than the guards of the inner qi condensation level of the third level of smelting, unless it is a relatively important military town. The militia captain in the village will not be higher than the entry-level guards according to the plan, unless it is a border town or a village in a dangerous place.

However, the actual situation is very different from the plan.

Yu Mang, a fifth-level smelting, a brother who has mastered the rare third-person perspective talent, is determined to be the militia captain in his village.

That's right, this is not directly the township, but the village, and there are two Zhang Du and Xue Zhou who are almost the same level as him in the village, who are the deputy captains of the village militia. The reason is very simple. These three do not want to move, but only want to compete for the captain of the township militia and make a name for themselves. As a result, because they are in the same township as Zhang Yong, they failed in the competition. After the failure, they still don’t want to move elsewhere to be officials, so this is it.

Li Zhe, the sixth level of smelting, and mastered the underlying logic of the talent tree, can switch elite talents, enough to compete with Wei Shuang for the position of the chief of Bingzhou military service, and now serves as the captain of the militia in the township where his wife is.

Marrying into the family? No, no, no, I have to make you face up to my existence. Going to the county to be a county lieutenant is a fart. I would rather be the captain of the militia in my township and serve as the county lieutenant. I absolutely cannot leave. Salary or not is not important. Anyway, I have more than a thousand acres and I don’t lack this money. I just like to be active in my township.

Zhao Ying, a super immortal. If the three empires publish a ranking of immortal veterans’ combat effectiveness, Zhao Ying will definitely be on the list. As a result, Zhao Ying is now a commoner, not to mention the township level, and he can’t even get the position of the village militia captain, because his next-door neighbor is Jiang Guang, who has worked part-time from Zhongshan Duwei to the military service captain of this neighborhood.

Zhao Ying was almost angry to death, and then Zhao Ying refused to move, and he was ready to waste time with Jiang Guang.

Originally, with Zhao Ying's merits and abilities, he could choose any of the more than 100 county lieutenants in the country. After all, Zhao Ying has the ability to command. Although Zhao Ying's command method is to split six clones, and then create more than 30 phantom warriors, and then rely on himself to command himself and lead others to attack together, but you say whether this command method is reliable.

Apart from other things, there is no problem in commanding one or two thousand people with this set of operations. If you cooperate with a few reliable veterans, you are absolutely qualified as the deputy general of the legion, but Zhao Ying is unwilling to do so. He would rather hang around in Zhongshan County for nothing, and he is determined not to go anywhere else.

Therefore, in this case, let alone the fact that the old brother of the fourth-level smelting is a backbone of a single-talented newbie, they will not only not feel embarrassed, but even hope so. After all, this is the only way to more effectively let their fellow villagers realize how awesome they are.

"I find it difficult to understand this magical era. In my era, officers would never give up any promotion in title or official position. Even if there is a situation where one would be demoted in order to stay in the local area, it is impossible for so many people to make this choice." Bai Qi said with a headache. He was promoted from a centurion, so he knew the Qin Dynasty very well. But precisely because he knew it very well, he found it outrageous.

"Because the difference in benefits won't be too big, especially after the title reaches a certain level, the salary brought by the official position actually has no obvious advantage. What is really effective is the power brought by the official position. The problem is that this power is actually not very meaningful if they don't seek personal gain. Instead, the recognition of society and the recognition of acquaintances are more important." Chen Xi said helplessly. He didn't expect to have such a concept.

That's right, compared with the recognition of strangers, the recognition of acquaintances and relatives makes them feel their own value. After all, at this level, as long as they don't fall into gambling, they basically can't lack money, so more or less financial resources don't really have much impact.

Bai Qi and Han Xin looked at each other, and then both bowed their heads to think. The two of them began to recall their own experiences. It seems that in addition to the excitement of getting the bounty for the first time and being canonized as a general for the first time, what they value more later is the look of respect from others after winning the battle.

"It seems to make some sense." Han Xin said after a while. He couldn't remember the names of his officers, but he could still remember the respectful expressions of those people.

"The main thing is that they can live well no matter what, and it is difficult for anyone to bully them. Official positions are really meaningless to them." Liu Tong said very clearly.

The third and fourth levels of smelting are fine, and the fifth level of smelting is already a superhuman. As for the sixth level of smelting, it is a person who can get a background anywhere, and even the aristocratic families need to win over. If there are some special abilities, even if they are commoners, they need to sit on the throne. To put it bluntly, the veterans of the sixth level of smelting can see Liu Tong.

"Many times, veterans of this level work with a certain belief, not just for the sake of work." Liu Tong said this with some emotion, because she remembered the sealed arrow that Zhang Gan handed over to her not long ago. When Liu Tong received this thing, she didn't quite understand it. When Zhang Gan said that it was Ye Kong's relic, Liu Tong realized what it was.

Looking at the arrow, Liu Tong actually felt a little pity, because not only her, but probably her father would not remember Ye Long, the little man who shot an arrow at Beique and wanted to destroy his entire family. Ye Kong, as a younger generation, has always remembered this favor, and even has become a big man in fact, but he also wants to repay her. Liu Tong is extremely sorry about this.

Obviously, it is not necessary to do this. After retiring and becoming a Sima of the Imperial Guard in Weiyang Palace, protecting yourself is also a reward, which is much more valuable than dying in battle. A veteran of the sixth level of smelting, and the favor of his father's generation has continued to this day, but he died like this.

Liu Tong complained a little about this, but after receiving the arrows, he sent the arrows and rewards back to the Ye family, and wrote a special letter back, saying that there was no need to do so. Of course, what was in his mind when he wrote this letter, just remember that Liu Tong normally doesn't write letters at all.

"Because they are well fed and well-drinking, and there is no lack of social care, they have other requirements for themselves, which is generally good. This is also one of the plans of the year, but the development of this aspect has not been smooth, and the way it is not smooth is a bit strange." Chen Xi said with a bit of tiredness. This is one of the very few things that cannot be said to have problems with the plan, but it is indeed a bit strange.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Chen Xi may have noticed that the topic was off, and after activating the secret mirror, he pointed to the items of logistics and prepared to explain.

"There's no need to explain this. We've also followed you to the northern border ranch, walked along the Grand Canal, visited Yanzhou Agricultural Grain, and visited large farms and plantations in Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, etc. We have no doubts about this. I just doubt that our imagination is not enough." Han Xin looked at Chen Xi preparing to play the logistics items and raised his hand to stop Chen Xi. He just watched the others, but he didn't need to do this.

"In fact, this is not about logistics reserves, but about how to transport the logistics of these three million troops to the appropriate location on time." Chen Xi heard Han Xin's words, but he didn't think he was exaggerating, because in the past few years, the material reserves of the Han Dynasty were actually enough to support the logistics of three million troops. The real problem is how to cooperate with the army to transport such a large scale of food and grass logistics.

"The three armies have not moved yet, but the food and grass must go first. According to the marching route you planned before, a large amount of food and grass has probably been stored in Chang'an, Hanzhong, Chengdu and other places." Bai Qi looked at the viaduct route on the map and said almost without thinking. There is nothing to say about this. Considering Chen Xi's personality, since he dared to propose such a plan, the food and grass logistics should have been prepared.

"It has been reserved, but it is not enough. Moreover, after passing the southwest passage and entering the Ganges, we still need to face the problem of food and grass. Therefore, we will build a large farm here to store food and grass. As for the Ganges, it is not a problem." Chen Xi pointed to the area between Myanmar and Bangladesh, which is where Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang drew a circle and said that this is the place that must be built next.

"The manpower required to mobilize such supplies is also a big problem. Although there is an overpass, the pressure of logistics transportation on such a scale cannot be easily solved." Liu Tong frowned and asked. The local reserve granary can only solve part of the problem. Moreover, given Chen Xi's situation, it is impossible for the soldiers to only eat these things. So meat, fish, chicken, duck, vegetables, and medicines all need to be allocated.

Because the scale is too large, and even if there is an overpass, it will probably take half a year for a 3 million-strong army with infantry as the main force to go to the Indochina Peninsula through the Southwest Grand Channel. Even if it is fast, it will take Chen Xi half a year. The materials allocated by Chen Xi are absolutely huge. In this way, the logistics supply personnel may be more than the army going out, and the difficulty of management will also explode.

Bai Qi and Han Xin naturally would not consider the things that Liu Tong considered, because the soldiers of their time just needed to have food to eat, and they didn’t consider meat, eggs and milk, which were things that even nobles could not enjoy. Now ordinary people in the Han family can eat these, which is purely outrageous. In the end, the war has to maintain this level?
