The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

The scale of the war initiated by the East India Company has gradually expanded, and the forces they used have also added colonial infantry regiments to the original fleet.

In the Governor's Office in Port Royal, many marks have been added to the map of the Caribbean Sea hanging on it. It looks quite complicated, but if you look carefully, you will find that the blue logo representing the East India Company has almost covered the entire Caribbean Sea. The sea fills up.

"We currently have a total of fifteen line infantry regiments in the Caribbean, but they are now scattered on the surrounding islands. Within a week, we can gather seven infantry regiments for the landing operations on Cuba Island." The officer wearing the uniform of the East India Company was standing in front of the map, reporting to Chen Mo, Beckett and others.

Hearing that only seven infantry regiments could be used, Chen Mo stroked his chin and asked, "What are the other eight infantry regiments doing?"

"There are three infantry regiments currently stationed on Haiti Island. While clearing up the sporadic resistance of the Spaniards and preventing French sneak attacks, they are also maintaining local law and order and hanging the pirates on the gallows." The officer explained to Chen Mo: "The other five Two regiments of infantry were doing the same thing, only they were scattered over the surrounding islands.

The remaining three infantry regiments are resting. They suffered a lot of casualties in the previous battles and need to replenish their forces to restore their combat power. "

After the officer finished speaking, he looked at Chen Mo nervously, waiting for his order.

Although Chen Mo did not have a specific position and military rank, this officer who was hired by the East India Company knew very well who was the one who could make the decision now.

Chen Mo looked at the map in front of him, and after thinking about it seriously, he asked the officer: "Call out the three infantry regiments stationed in Haiti, and let the three infantry regiments that need to rest take over to replace them. Three infantry regiments also went into action against Cuba.

The same is true for the two infantry regiments on the island, gather them together, and hand over the security issues to the privateers who have been recruited. "

"But my lord, those privateers have no concept of law-abiding at all. If you entrust them with the task of maintaining local law and order, they will make a mess of things." The officer tried to persuade Chen Mo, but he knew those names What the hell is up with a guy who is a privateer and a pirate.

Chen Mo didn't care about this question, instead he laughed: "Don't worry, they will be obedient."

Chen Mo didn't explain, but Beckett at the side obviously understood what Chen Mo meant.

With the threat of the two legendary sea legends of the Bloodsail and the Flying Dutchman, he didn't think any surrendered privateers would dare to mess around.

You must know that since they are willing to surrender for a private plunder license, they are obviously saving their lives, and such people usually know what they should and should not do, and they will not make fun of their own lives.

And if they can't control themselves and their men, obviously the East India Company doesn't mind going back and hanging these guys on the gallows after finishing fighting Cuba.

So the matter was settled like this, and at the cost of a decrease in public security, Chen Mo had five more infantry regiments that could be put into battle.

"Now we have twelve infantry regiments that can be used. How many Spaniards are there on Cuba?" Chen Mo cast his gaze on the officer.

"The Spaniards stationed about 10,000 defenders in Cuba, most of which are infantry regiments that are not full. During the war, they can fill up these infantry regiments at any time and expand the number by 10,000 to 20,000." The officer replied to Chen. Mo's question, and added: "In general, we need to face about ten full-staffed infantry regiments, but the quality and organization of their soldiers are average. With our strength, we can capture Cuba."

Hearing the officer's explanation, Chen Mo nodded slightly, but he didn't make a decision right away.

In this era, the general establishment of the army was 500 to 1,000 people as an infantry battalion.

Two or three infantry battalions make up an infantry regiment, two infantry regiments make up a brigade, and two brigades make up a division.

A complete infantry division consists of eight to ten infantry battalions and two artillery companies. In the Napoleonic era, a standard regiment would have two to three infantry divisions, a light cavalry division and about thirty to forty artillery pieces. .

The Spanish garrison in Cuba is about the size of a legion, but the legion is usually only maintained at the size of a division to reduce consumption, and will quickly recruit soldiers to fill the establishment during wartime.

Although Chen Mo has more troops than the Spaniards, and also has a fleet as support, Cuba has been a colony run by the Spaniards for many years, with strong fortresses and widespread popular support, and it is not easy to defeat it. things.

He rubbed his chin, weighed it carefully and finally made a decision: "Divide our troops into three parts, gather seven infantry regiments to land in San Diego within a week, and capture the city.

The remaining five infantry regiments landed from the other side of the island, cut off the entire Cuba, and then attacked Santiago to join the first landing force.

After the rendezvous, the troops attacked Havana while eliminating the Spanish resistance on the island, and the fleet attacked Havana together with the Blood Sail. I want to use the blood of the Havana defenders to dye the fleet's sails red. "

"Follow your will, my lord." The officer had no objection to Chen Mo's arrangement, and after a respectful promise, he turned and left the office to arrange troops to prepare for battle.

In the office, Chen Mo explained his mission to Governor Swann beside him: "Your Excellency, the entire Caribbean Sea is basically under our control now, I hope you can stabilize these places as soon as possible, and do your best for the The army provided adequate logistical support and formed another twenty infantry battalions.

After we captured Cuba, we will launch an attack on Mexico in the next step. This war will not end so soon, so I hope that you can effectively perform your duties as the governor, and let the Caribbean region be the next step. War conquers its own power.

Otherwise, I can only take some extreme measures to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army and the stability of these occupied and controlled areas. "

"I will do my best, but my lord, if I want to maintain the stability of the occupied area and let them resume production, I need the assistance of at least a dozen infantry battalions to suppress possible riots and resistance." At this time Governor Swan seemed to be much younger, but there was a trace of blood red in his eyes.

Hearing what Governor Swan said, Chen Mo said indifferently: "You are the governor, and you have the right to form new troops."
