"At present, our division has more than 27,000 people, but there are only 72 artillery pieces. At the same time, the caliber of artillery pieces is very single, 75mm and 155mm, but the difference in size between them is too large, which is completely unfavorable for the flexibility of the entire division. , there are too many people, even the logistics is quite troublesome."

"If you use my weapons, you can completely cancel the brigade-level units of the division-level troops, and choose the establishment of one division and three regiments, and the following is also the three-three system, each infantry squad is organized with 13 people, a sergeant squad leader, A corporal is equipped with a submachine gun and a pistol, a two-person machine gun team, and the remaining nine use semi-automatic rifles. Under such firepower, light weapons are completely sufficient, and now there is no opponent in the world."

"Three squads in a row, with a four-person 60mm mortar team, 80mm mortars at the company level, 120mm mortars at the battalion level, plus 75mm gun companies at the regiment level, and 105 gun battalions at the division level. , the firepower is completely sufficient."

Pershing asked at this time, "What about the heavy artillery?" His eyes were already looking at the heavy artillery placed on the side.

Wesley said with a smile: "The general is really impatient. Now let's talk about heavy artillery. These big guys will never be faster than the infantry. Then we can gather them together and form a brigade, a heavy artillery brigade. The brigade-level unit we It can be designed into special arms, such as heavy artillery brigade, engineer brigade, cavalry brigade and other special combat units. These special units need special treatment because of their special nature, such as the centralized use of heavy artillery. If it is scattered, it is very inconvenient, not only a drag With infantry, it is inconvenient to supply, and at the same time, it cannot travel power, but it is the same when concentrated."

"I think the general should be the clearest in the concentrated bombardment of heavy artillery, while the engineers can be concentrated and dispersed when necessary, and manpower can be concentrated when building roads and bridges, so brigade-level units do not set up regiments, but directly set up battalion-level units. , each brigade is equipped with six battalions, which is also a three-three system."

"In this way, it is easy to disperse and cooperate with infantry, and it is also convenient for centralized use. We can also concentrate three division-level troops into the army, and configure brigade-level special forces, while army-level combat units are temporary, such as setting up during wars, and then disbanding The three armies become an army group. Disperse and combine at will, and can adapt to any war situation."

After Verus finished speaking, he took a glass of water from the worker next to him and drank it. Wesley prepared very well, not only he had water to drink, but everyone had it. It's all Coca-Cola.

After saying a lot, Wesley waited for them to consume it before pointing to the heavy artillery and said: "120mm howitzer, 155mm howitzer, these are two types of artillery equipped by the heavy artillery brigade, each with three battalions configuration, with the artillery of the division-level unit. , multi-level, multi-position, and multi-functional battlefield fire coverage, I think this is enough, isn't it?"

"Cover up the heavy artillery!" Pershing was eager to try, but Wesley could only let people fire the artillery. The two kinds of artillery were full of power, and they all shot in the direction of the sea, otherwise it would be difficult to show the advantage in distance. The location of West Point is right by the sea, otherwise the artillery will not be able to train at all, and now it can fully demonstrate the advantages of distance. Wesley's design is not a heavy artillery during World War I, and even surpassed that during World War II.

"Great, Mr. President, we have to change our military. With such equipment, by the way, we also need new tactics, which need to be studied quickly." Pershing said to the president.

The president said helplessly: "My general, I am not the only one who decides the United States. Those guys in Congress will not necessarily agree, and it is basically difficult to agree. The Navy is fine, but the Army..." Pershing was poured. A bowl of cold water, but then he looked at Wesley again.

"Looks like I need to speak to Congress, but if I'm successful, then I hope to have a battalion-level Marine Corps, and when the training is good, I'll need to expand it into a brigade."

"Haha, young man, so you were waiting here. You just graduated as a captain. Are you still thinking about the rank of major at the battalion level and the rank of brigadier general at the brigade level?" Pershing laughed.

"Sorry General, if according to my assumptions, the brigade level is a special combat unit, then the brigade commander should be in the rank of major general. I define such brigade level combat as technical arms. These soldiers are soldiers with special skills, and they should be better than ordinary ones. The troops are one level higher." Pershing was dumbfounded, this one is really welcome.

"Okay, today we have opened our eyes. 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 branch."

"In my opinion, it's just an army of warships. The real marines should take on greater responsibilities, especially to cooperate with the navy in landing operations, but I'm not going to say it here because our navy is too weak. Now, my shipyard is ready to compete for orders for naval ships, and my marines must have the best ships."

"Young man, although you are talented, if you are so sharp, you will be besieged by those vampires." Pershing said suddenly.

"Don't worry, General, their siege has already begun, but what if they siege? What means can they use? Assassination has already been used, and it is completely useless. Commercial means or administrative means? And arms and shipbuilding are in the United States. It's not very good, the interests I have encroached on are limited, and I'm not without allies."

Wesley does have allies, but in the past his allies also wanted to annex him, but now they are more willing to cooperate, because they are afraid, such as DuPont, Rockefeller, Morgan, etc. Wesley is looking for powerful friends, No matter which party they belong to, Wesley gave them a chance to make money, and all they needed was their honesty.

"Let's get here first today!" Mr. President left with all the staff, and at this time Principal Clarence came over with a smile.

"Well done boy, although I don't know you're going to convince Congress, but I'm optimistic about your idea and keep working hard."

"Thank you, Mr. Principal."

In the following days, Wesley was idle, and the arsenal had been completed. Wesley directly let the arsenal stock up on raw materials and steel, and the expansion of the shipyard was also in progress. The dock began to add four 5,000-ton docks and 10,000-ton There are 4 docks, these are the first phase of the project, and the cargo ships that Wesley needs are being built, all of which are container ships and oil tankers.
