Chapter 68: Autumn Tiger

"Speaking of the armor situation, according to the observation and summary of the intelligence department and the front-line reconnaissance unit, the enemy is different according to the nationality of the soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

All the Jurchen Tartars were wearing armor, at least chain mail, piercing armor, cotton armor, and some had double heavy armor.

As for the Mongolian tartars, they are different, about one-third of the armor rate, but the most are leather armor and half-body, a small part of the armor, chain mail, basically there is no double heavy armor.

The main force composed of the Koreans is even more unbearable, and in the past year or so, almost all the iron materials in the Shangjing area have been used to make firearms and equip the current army, so they have no armor at all. ”

An old staff officer frowned and said, "No armor? Doesn't that mean that the enemy's athletic ability is greater than that of our army in full armor? Does this have an adverse effect on our army fighting in the mountains? ”

Another Chen Xin looked at the staff officer who was very familiar with him and said worriedly: "Yes, I am also worried that the mountain roads are already rugged and difficult to navigate, and if the enemy surpasses our army in terms of mobility ability, when fighting in the mountainous areas, it is easy to have accidents, do you need to remove the armor of the mountain combat troops?" ”

Instead, several new faces sitting not far from Chen Xin shook their heads together, then bowed to each other twice, and one of the delegates explained, "No, I don't think there is a need to remove the armor of the mountain combat troops. Because our army and the enemy army are fundamentally different.

Most of the enemy's soldiers are captured strong men and slaves, as long as they are armed, and under the leadership of those so-called [masters], as well as the rear overseers and the harsh military law, they can go to the battlefield and follow the rush and fight desperately.

Our army is led by professional sergeants and officers who have received complete military education, and conscripts from good families who have received patriotic education fight together.

Needless to say, the professionalism and fighting will of the professional officers and non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers are well understood.

Let's just talk about the conscripts of the good family in the army, these conscripts are immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, and they all have a rich life in the kingdom, after experiencing the turmoil and displacement of the Ming Kingdom, they all clearly know that their lives are not easy to come by.

Under the mentality of defending the homeland, defending the fruits of victory, and defending the motherland, the subjective initiative of our soldiers is far superior to that of the enemy's captured slave soldiers.

This is in terms of willpower, let's talk about it economically.

What is the economic situation of the enemy? The small-scale peasant economy of slavery, and, in the absence of population and productivity, the number of people on the side of the enemy who joined the army was more than a tenth of the total population, is simply sensational.

Without state-organized water conservancy projects, many small slave owners could not even feed themselves after planting and harvesting, let alone pay taxes to support the army.

In addition to some descendants, most of the troops are almost in a state of not having enough to eat all year round.

When they are not fighting or looting, the ordinary soldiers of Houjin may not be able to see meat once a month.

As an aside, this is why the Houjin side always slaughtered and military discipline deteriorated, but our army was able to do nothing against the people.

Lack of nutrition, the so-called water training and fire training intensity handed down by the enemy from the Nurhachi period is about the same as the ordinary training intensity of the Ming army on paper.

But unlike us, the kingdom has entered the initial era of industrialization, and is first and foremost superior to the enemy in terms of equipment.

Because of the strong domestic industrial capacity, the import of raw materials from abroad, the export of a large number of industrial products, the trade surplus and the income of scissors, the kingdom has sufficient money to subsidize agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing, and sideline industries.

We can proudly say that our country has solved the problem of food and clothing, and there will never be a situation of not having enough to eat again.

When there was plenty of food, the side businesses such as farming were also extremely prosperous on a large amount of open land, so the soldiers of the kingdom had meat to eat every day.

The proportion of conscription in our army is also extremely low, about less than one percent of the total population.

With the Sado Gold Mine looted from Japan as a support, the military budget is also extremely sufficient, and there is no need for financial allocation.

The economic conditions are far superior to those of the enemy, allowing our army to have good equipment.

Under the condition of sufficient nutritional conditions, the corresponding training intensity of our army is far beyond that of the enemy.

Therefore, the soldiers of our army, both in terms of equipment and physical strength, are far superior to the Houjin army.

The army on the front line has done experiments with Houjin prisoners, even if our army's whole body equipment is 30 pounds heavier than the enemy, in the physical competition, the enemy's endurance and strength are not the opponent of our army. ”

A logistics staff officer also stood up and explained: "I agree with Staff Officer Lin's point of view, indeed, with the quality of our army, even if it carries 30 catties more materials than the enemy, it is not slower than the enemy in terms of mobility.

What's more, our army's logistics and transportation units have already completed the initial transformation of mules and horses, and even among the combat units, a large number of various types of livestock have been deployed, and our army is not what it was when it fought last year. ”

"Then we'll rest assured, okay, skip this topic, next, who has something to ask?"

An officer raised his hand and asked, "I want to know, what is the progress of the current material allocation?" ”

"The three-level combat readiness warehouse has been opened, and all kinds of equipment that have been produced have been distributed in place, and nothing is missing. If the war escalates, you can also open the second-level combat readiness warehouse, or even the first-level combat readiness warehouse, at any time. ”

"What about the transfer of combat troops, the progress of completion? To what extent? ”

"A third of the troops have been deployed and are ready to go into battle to recover the enemy forces coming from the mountains into the heart of our country.

As for the rest of the troops, they will also be deployed after reaching the designated position in the next half month, do you need a specific number? ”

"Not now, when the meeting is over, please give me a list, we need to reorganize the military deployment on the sand table."

"Okay, no problem."

"How's the logistics department doing? This year, there are a lot more factories, and there are many more models of various combat equipment than in last year's battle, so we must carefully screen all the materials and not send them to the wrong team. This is not a drill. ”

"Please rest assured that based on the experience of previous exercises, our logistics department has been doing co-ordination work.

All supplies have a military number in a uniform format and are written on the outer packaging with waterproof paint.

There are also corresponding inspectors, who will conduct spot checks on each batch of materials, and there will definitely be no situation where the wrong troops are delivered. ”

Chen Xin watched everyone report the preparations in an orderly manner, and felt good, he had been busy for 6 years, and finally, there was a group of talents who could take charge of themselves.

By the time this pre-war briefing was over, it was almost evening, although it was the Xiaoice River period, but the autumn tiger was still very difficult to mess with, Chen Xin waited for the sun to completely set, and after the weather turned cooler, he returned to the palace with the guards.

Today is just the first day of the formation of the headquarters, Chen Xin gathered everyone, and just let his subordinates get to know each other first, and report on their respective preparations.

Therefore, Chen Xin can also live in the palace for a period of time and explain the government affairs of the kingdom in the future.
