After listening to Li Shaojie's report and carefully examining the report submitted by him, the board of directors committee of the Far Eastern Company also had a heated debate, and everyone had a great deal of controversy over the report submitted by Li Shaojie.

In fact, everyone is still quite supportive of this plan, but it is too early to expand the scale of the exploration fleet now. It is generally believed that the company's current stall is too big, and the steps are not small.

This year, the Military Commission will not only go south to southern Xinjiang, Qinghai and Tibet, although this campaign will be easily won, but the situation in these areas is extremely complicated, and it is more troublesome to deal with various problems, so it is also a headache for the company. But in any case, before the company entered the Central Plains, western Tibet, southern Xinjiang and Qinghai must be completely resolved.

Moreover, the Northern Advance Corps and a large number of the main cavalry divisions, reserve militia brigades, and nomadic detachments in the eastern field will also take advantage of the large-scale migration to the west next year. In addition, a large number of war materials should also be prepared in a year, and in order to reserve enough war materials when the attack on the Kazakh Khanate is launched in the spring of the following year.

The Samurai Army in the Indian direction also had to use the time of the year to actively prepare for operations in the Persian region. At that time, the Far Eastern Military Commission will devote a lot of resources and concentrate all its forces to ensure offensive preparations in both directions of attack.

Moreover, with the changes in the situation in the Persian region and the Kazakh steppe, if the war situation goes well, the military commission is likely to take further action. Therefore, the Military Commission simply does not have the energy to form a large-scale exploration fleet in the next two years.

The vast majority of the commissioners were inclined to expand the size of the exploration fleet two years later, and for the next two years it remained at the same size, with the establishment of colonies on the west coast of the Americas.

Li Shaojie's plan was not approved by the company's board of directors, but after some efforts by Gao Jianguo, Li Ming and Qiao Haipeng. Although the number of ships in the Pacific Exploration Fleet this year has not reached the dozens planned by Li Shaojie, it has also increased to eight, which can be regarded as better than nothing.

The other two plans submitted by the Military Commission went very smoothly and were approved by re-voting very happily. In particular, the formation of the backbone units of the Southwest Field Army was almost unanimously approved.

Southwest. Generally, it refers to the vast hinterland in the western part of southern China, mainly including the Sichuan Basin, the Qinba Mountains, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and other topographic units, roughly including Chongqing, southern Sichuan, southern Shaanxi, most of Yunnan, Guizhou, western Hubei, western Hunan, and northwest Guangxi.

This area is mainly mountainous and the terrain structure is very complex, so if we want to launch an attack on the southwest region in the future, we must have a main force that is good at mountain warfare.

As for Liu Baoguo, the candidate for commander of the Southwest Field Army, everyone has no objection. Liu Baoguo was born in the special combat team, and although he has made many miraculous achievements, he has been acting as Song Tao's deputy in the special combat team. It has never been reused by the Military Commission.

Liu Baoguo is different from those casual and accustomed ruffians in the special combat team, his military quality is very high, he pays attention to cultivation, and he is also strict with himself in peacetime, and his reputation in the company is excellent.

As for the proposal to set up a central security corps, it was also supported by the company's internal employees. Because the purpose of the establishment of the Central Garrison Corps was to carry out another important task, in addition to the protection of the central organs of the Far Eastern Company. Safeguard the safety of all employees within the company.

In the future, the Central Garrison Corps will be built on the basis of a special combat unit and a scout training center. Although it is declared to be a regimental unit. However, the actual strength of the troops is even larger than the establishment of field brigades, and if we add all the directly subordinate units and combat and logistical support units, it will even catch up with the establishment of a division-level establishment.

The regimental headquarters of the Central Garrison Regiment is extremely directly subordinate to the troops, and its establishment is very large, with an artillery detachment, an armored detachment, a special operations detachment, a communications detachment, an airship detachment, an aviation detachment, a technical detachment, an intelligence detachment, an automobile detachment, and an internal guard detachment.

It has three battalion-level combat formations, which are equivalent to the number of brigade-level troops. It is mainly deployed in Shenyang, the seat of the central authorities of the Far East, the Vladivostok Industrial Zone and the Manila Business Zone in the Far East. There are also three battalion-sized combat units, which will be dispersed and stationed in various administrative organs and other important institutions in the Far East.

On the basis of the six large-scale battalion-level units, a security brigade will be set up, equipped with a large number of security personnel who have been professionally trained by the special combat team and the intelligence department, and will be the company's main leaders, experts and technicians, and all internal employees in some relatively remote areas. and their families, equipped with some 24-hour close security work.

The main function of the special operations unit is the same as that of the previous special combat team, which is responsible for handling various emergencies of the company, and will also be strengthened to various theaters in wartime to support the participating troops in special operations.

The future airship detachment will be equipped with 24 Type 39B eight-engine large airships that have been specially modified and strengthened, and will carry out various special tasks of the company in the future, and can also strengthen the air power of various theaters in peacetime to provide air support for the participating troops.

With the development of the company, the company's internal employees will have a set of encrypted communication channels to communicate in the future to ensure the privacy of communication between the company's internal employees.

The intelligence detachment is also a strong soldier drawn from the intelligence department, mainly responsible for the company's external intelligence work, and its main function is also for the safety of the company's internal employees and their families.

The internal security detachment is responsible for the internal security of the company, has considerable authority, and is directly under the head of the Central Garrison Regiment, which will be managed by Li Ming himself. Of course, this department can carry out some very secretive tasks, which, of course, can only be given by a few members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors.

The aviation detachment is armed with two "Caravan" amphibious aircraft and two "R44" helicopters, as well as modernized UAVs. Mainly deal with various emergencies of the company.

The functions of the technical detachment are more complicated, and there are several sub-groups within it, which generally cooperate with the work of the internal security detachment, as well as the intelligence department and the security department, mainly using various modern technical means to provide support.

After the establishment of the Central Guard Corps, once the combat effectiveness is formed, the internal employees of the Far Eastern Company will be assigned a certain amount of security forces to carry out 24-hour security protection around the clock.

The formation of such a unit is of course strongly supported by the Board of Directors, which is a military unit that serves all the internal employees of the company, not only to provide security for everyone, but also to protect the central organization of the Far Eastern Company, important industrial targets and local administrative structures.
