Chapter 305: Military Expansion
As a mixed-blood barbarian in name but a barbarian in reality, this is not the first time Dagu has come to the city of Walter.
But this is the first time he has returned as a military commander.
The mission of the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Division is to gradually take over the defense of the Mergen Province and to assist in the establishment of garrison divisions in the future.
Now, first receive a batch of new recruits from the boot camp.
Even the chief military officer has no right to interfere with the affairs of the recruit training camp.
In fact, it is a direct department of the Duke's palace.
Even though the boot camp sounds low, in fact the man behind it is the Duke.
However, although the cost is high, the quality of soldiers coming out of the boot camp is more reliable.
After undergoing physical replenishment, military skill training, and ideological arming, the new recruits are not just farmers randomly recruited by the lord.
As long as they see a little blood, they can transform into qualified veterans.
The Northern Principality has been tepidly increasing investment in the past two years. It seems that there is no change, but in fact it has been accumulating strength.
That is to say, Dagu has never fought against the three southern countries. He always believed that the opposing armies were not much different from his own.
The food is only the barbarian kingdom.
It will probably take a long time for this one-sided fantasy to be exposed.
However, before accepting new recruits, there was an endless stream of invitations from Walter.
As a military figure who was born as a barbarian and was able to become the military commander of a brigade, Dagu was no longer an unknown person.
The barbarians, in particular, regard him as their boss in the army.
A group of barbarian businessmen who have become rich urgently need to support their own strength.
Not to mention bullying others, at least not being bullied.
Obviously, Dagu is their natural spokesperson.
However, Dagu refused one by one. He came with a mission, not for a vacation.
A soldier's sense of responsibility prevents him from abandoning his mission to attend a party.
Even if Gu Li came to invite him in person, he only met him once and was rejected.
What Dagu didn't know was that the staff officer responsible for the ideological arm of the army had recorded everything he had done.
There are a lot of staff officers in the new army, each with their own tasks, and the military chief cannot completely control their thoughts.
After all, in terms of logistics, soldiers and army construction, the army is not dominated by military chiefs.
The recruit training camp here has already prepared a thousand recruits.
After completing the final ideological arming, they were officially handed over to Dagu, and several batches of new soldiers would be delivered in succession.
The First Brigade of the Second Division expanded in an orderly manner according to the army building plan.
Similar new armies continue to appear in various parts of the Northern Principality.
As small as a regiment and a battalion, as large as a division and a brigade, they are all gradually equipped according to the plan.
A large number of weapons and equipment are also produced according to the plan, and then transported to various places, where they are armed and trained appropriately.
As soon as the army expansion is completed, they will be directly merged into combat units.
…
The homeland is accumulating strength, but the war is in full swing in the New World.
Since the capture of Gem Harbor, ships from the south of the New World began to appear frequently on the north coast.
Lawrence was on the front line, with Gem Harbor as the hub, and had been driving away ships from the south coast.
However, the losses were very high, and the losses of the entire command fleet were increasing day by day.
Even the construction of the port has been seriously affected.
Fortunately, at this time, support from the local area arrived.
The second batch of ironclads will have to wait a while, but the Empire will be repaired.
Engineers and craftsmen from the military shipyard will build a small maintenance base in Gem Harbor to be responsible for the repair and maintenance of warships.
This is also the only construction plan in Gem Harbor.
More support will still be provided to Jinshan Town.
Thanks to continuous immigration, the colony already has a population of 40,000 to 50,000 and has a certain production base.
It was impossible for heavy industry and the like to be transferred to the New World. Derek was very clear-headed.
It's just an ammunition factory, some textile factories, and the local small shipyard will be expanded.
According to the plan, the New World colonies can replenish their own bullets and most artillery shells, and some light industries have been put into production and have a certain production capacity.
The shipyard can undertake some small and medium-sized transport ships and commercial ships, and also has certain maintenance capabilities.
If these goals can be achieved, the transportation pressure from the mainland will be much less.
Little Earl Jefferys smiled and accepted various talented technicians and various technical materials.
The rapid development of the New World convinced him that his choice was right. Here was the future of the Jeffries family.
Of course, he had some regrets. This time the fleet brought some big guys.
"It's a pity, they are needed more in Gem Harbor."
Young Earl Jefferys knew that only with the support of the Gem Port fleet would he be safe, otherwise no one would be safe.
For this shipment, Lawrence personally drove the Empire to pick up the goods, and then escorted them all the way to Gem Harbor.
Although there is a lack of heavy artillery, the corresponding forts have been built. Lawrence even dismantled the artillery on the warship and temporarily used it here.
However, the unloaded cargo cannot land until the fleet reaches Gem Harbor and activates the lever pulley.
The local artillery engineers went straight to work.
The original fort base was directly eliminated, and even the location of the fort was newly selected.
Then one door after another the big guys were installed.
"204mm caliber, 9,000-meter range, this is the latest heavy cannon put into production, the current pass rate is very low, the first batch of 56 guns were cast, and only 12 were qualified in the end, and even the capital and Degen Port have not been used yet.
According to the Duke's instructions, I will install it for you first."
The artillery engineer listed the data like a treasure, and even Lawrence, who was well prepared, felt absolutely shocked.
"Is this really a weapon that prisoners can have?"
As an unreligious believer, Lawrence even developed faith.
The 120mm caliber naval gun made him think it was the limit of human beings.
That power is also a first-class weapon on the sea.
The white-skinned guys on the opposite side also sank one warship after another by the cannon.
204mm caliber, 9,000-meter range, are you kidding?
This means that the enemy warships will be hit two or three times before they can touch the edge of the turret.
And with the size of this cannon, one shot can blow the whole ship into the sky.
The artillery engineer was not satisfied and added: "I heard that even ironclad ships cannot carry this kind of huge cannon. It can only be used in the design of the new class of ironclad ships. You may have to wait for two years. When the new ironclad ships are launched, you can see this big guy running around."
For the first time, Lawrence felt that technological progress too fast is not necessarily a good thing.
This weapon is really a foul. It is hard to imagine what it feels like to be hit by a cannon.
"Fortunately, the white guys don't have such powerful cannons."
