Chapter 458: Riot Soldiers

"It seems that energy and information control are the key points, and there is no way to break through without the development of these key technologies." Meng Xiang was a little clear. But he's not in a hurry, with 200,000 loyal clone soldiers in hand, what are you afraid of? In addition, there are more places in the sub-bases, and the 200,000 heavily armed clones with their backs to the forward base can resist any incoming enemy and advance to the enemy's lair step by step.

"Wowhaha, thug! Rioters! ”

With Meng Xiang's orders one after another, in January of the 40th year, the long-stagnant barracks of each sub-base began to produce a large number of clones.

After the barracks were upgraded, the star value consumed really began to double. When Meng Xiang had already built the buildings of the sub-base, he could not arrange for several barracks to be upgraded. After all, all other buildings have production tasks.

Because the quota of 20,000 clone soldiers was filled early, in addition to the main base, there are not many barracks in other sub-bases, usually two or three. Each second-level barracks has no more than 12 biochemical cabins. The time required to train and indoctrinate is not less than 24 hours, that is, there are only 12 soldiers a day. When it comes to the third-level barracks, there are 36 ecological cabins, and one barracks can produce 36 clone soldiers in a day. Although the star value cost is three times as high, it still counts the same as the original.

The price of building another second-level barracks is the same as that of a barracks being upgraded to third-level barracks.

"It seems that the loopholes in the base are not easy to find." Meng Xiang sighed, but in the end he chose to upgrade the barracks. After all, after upgrading, there are more new features. The best part is that you can directly produce Level 3 Clones. Although the cost of the third-level clone soldier is several times higher and it takes longer, it is an elite soldier of the third level as soon as it comes out. The combat effectiveness has increased a lot.

However, Meng Xiang subconsciously felt that the classification and military merit upgrade of the clone soldiers were not so simple, so he would not directly replace all the soldiers with third-level soldiers and second-level soldiers, and most of them were still first-level soldiers to slowly rely on military merit upgrades.

The effect of ripening is obvious in the short term, but it is not necessarily good after a long time. In the coming era, the clones are used as cannon fodder, and they may not care about this. But Meng Xiang cared very much about these soldiers around him, in his eyes, they were living people, no different from ordinary people. After the influence of chemical fertilizers and ripening agents in later generations, Meng Xiang understood the truth that pulling out seedlings will definitely cause endless troubles. Therefore, when the second-level base was at the beginning, there were not many second-level soldiers directly produced, and Meng Xiang had always controlled the number at one-tenth. At this time, the third-level barracks were over, and Meng Xiang still only planned to produce one-tenth of the third-level soldiers. The rest still have to rely on their own hard work to earn military merits.

The third-level barracks also had some other functions, and to Meng Xiang's surprise, a hybrid template had appeared in the newly produced clones.

In addition to the clone template for the 12 zodiac signs, a hybrid template for both zodiac signs has also appeared.

For example, the template of the Rat Warrior and the Ox Warrior are combined into one, even if the big guy has great intelligence.

For another example, after the template of the dragon warrior and other warriors is combined into one, it is also amphibious at worst, which can be used as the best source of soldiers for the Marine Corps.

The combination of phoenix warriors and other fighters may be more suitable for the development of compound talents in the air force.

Compound talents, this is exactly one aspect of the future development of the military, can quickly respond to different environments. The Cold War era after the background of the three-level base has begun to pay attention, so this new feature will appear.

However, this kind of template is not able to be activated by spending money and spending more time, and its success rate is very low, only one percent of the time. is full of calculations, but there are only 2,000 people, which makes Meng Xiang feel pained. It seems that they can only be arranged in special units.

The relative adjustment of the external image of the third-level barracks has also made a lot of progress. Although the appearance of the previous clone soldiers has been fine-tuned and their figures have changed a little, they still look like they are carved out of a mold to others. Of course, the temperament of the military is also crucial. But it's not easy to arrange the identity of a young man. But after upgrading to the third level, the appearance can be adjusted from Supreme Treasure to Zhu Bajie, and the figure can also be adjusted from Brother Chun's flat type to Sister Feng's type.

The age has also been adjusted from 16 years old to 40 years old.

These are not what Meng Xiang paid attention to, Meng Xiang's eyes were all focused on a new function at this time, and after being promoted to the third level, there was the existence of female soldiers.

Before, Meng Xiang had been puzzled that there should be female soldiers in World War II, why did the base not support it? Even those rabbit warriors are all big men. Later, Meng Xiang thought of the cannon fodder role of the clones, and he had some understanding. In the future battlefield, the clones are used to fight wars, and it is more convenient for male soldiers to use them than female soldiers on the battlefield. What will be needed in the war years of the future is soldiers. There may be a lot of female soldiers among the ordinary soldiers, but definitely not including the clones who don't have many.

This may be why there are no female soldiers until the third level.

"Female soldiers!" The first thing that came to Meng Xiang's mind was the bumps on Tanya Chiguo's body. If female soldiers are produced in the barracks, I am afraid that as soon as the biochemical cabin is opened, a large piece of white flowers will immediately be displayed in front of you.

The white flowers in his mind seemed to be able to freeze time, making Meng Xiang stay in a daze for nearly an hour, until the second rat reminded him to wake up.

Meng Xiang, who wiped his saliva, blushed rarely, this was the first time that his long-trained face was flushed.

"We need to produce some female soldiers!" He calmed his mind for a moment, and then thought about the question.

With the improvement of the status of women in the war zone, the proportion of women joining the army is also increasing, especially those female students, which has led to a trend of women joining the army. They may not be able to fight, but they are more patient than men in terms of advocacy and care. As their numbers have increased, there have also been some factors of instability among these people.

And it is difficult for male clones to get involved and control the situation in more detail. The advent of female cloned soldiers has undoubtedly solved this dilemma. With their norms, those ordinary female soldiers can also play a better role.

Publicity, nursing, communications, logistics, secretarial and other aspects are all roles that these female clones can play. And administratively, the cloning of female soldiers can also play a better role. For many tasks, they are far more suitable than men.

Now female soldiers can only produce single-attribute templates. However, Meng Xiang has been thinking about what kind of female soldier to produce, and try the effect first.

"I order, start producing female soldiers!" Meng Xiang said.

"Commander Xiaobai, because the function of the base is not comprehensive, it needs to be adjusted before the production of female soldiers can be carried out. Please wait until the base adjusts the template before giving the order. Xiaohua's voice appeared in time, but the prompt was that it was not possible for the time being, not that it was not possible.

Meng Xiang didn't care much about it, and during the war, more men were needed to charge into battle. And he is more concerned about quickly producing more clones in a short period of time to help control the current vanguard army.

Quantity is the key at this time, even if it is a first-level ordinary clone soldier, it is also a loyal lineage.

A third-level barracks has 36 people a day, and at this time, Meng Xiang has built 42 barracks, and 8 new barracks have been built, so that after all are upgraded, 1,800 people can be gathered. However, the star value of some sub-bases is full, and it is not easy to adjust, so there is no upgrade, and the daily number of troops is controlled at about 1,500 people.

Some of the newly produced clones signed up to join the army in the name of recruits, but most of them were directly incorporated into the troops in the name of deployment. Anyway, the training of recruits is in the hands of Niu Yi, and many procedures are also under the control of the clones. No one can find out where these people came from. And the tactical quality of the new clone soldier does not make people see the shadow of the rookie of the new recruit. They follow the old clones and begin to contact this new world to make up for their missing emotional intelligence.

Although this will take a long time to sharpen, their skills and tactics and their loyalty can be directly used.

Throughout January, what Meng Xiang needed was to stabilize the areas he had occupied, and there were still many places in Qinghai that he had not set foot in.

The direct mobilization of 5,000 recruits from the past also supplemented the battle losses of the Northwest Front. Although the warlords in these places did not have much combat effectiveness, they also suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the 5,000 recruits replenished at this time were enough to fill the unfilled establishment, in addition to replenishing the wounded. Among the 5,000 recruits were 3,000 clones.

They all started as privates, which was just right for control from below. It is also simple to be promoted, as long as they have military merits, it is very simple to be promoted to squad leader and platoon commander in the line of fire. This also allowed the clones to re-establish the lower layers that they could not grasp.

Armies elsewhere are also constantly being recruited with new recruits. Among them are not only clones, but also a large number of recruits.

In the northwest region, the people are fierce, and it is also a place where good soldiers are sent. In addition, Meng enjoyed the control of the clone soldiers, had more certainty, and relaxed the recruitment standards, which made the vanguard army easily recruit 100,000 new recruits in a month. At this time, the total number of the vanguard army, not counting the guerrilla columns, exceeded 1.5 million. With the addition of guerrilla columns, armed police units, police, etc., the number has reached 2 million.

"Too many people from time to time?" Even Zhou Bai began to persuade.

By this time, the vanguard had left the local warlords far behind. Those local warlords were only 100,000 men capable of claiming hegemony, and the vanguard army was even stronger than the central army controlled by Lao Chiang at this time, even in terms of numbers. Although others do not know what the total strength of the vanguard army is, it is enough to make people understand the ownership of the first strength of the vanguard army, which has announced that it has reached 1.5 million troops not long ago.

It is a good thing to have more soldiers, which brings stability on the territory and more confidence to one's own people. But the resulting military spending is also becoming more and more staggering.

"Military salaries alone are a huge burden, not to mention those military supplies." Zhou Bai knew that the expenditure of military spending, as well as the payment of military salaries and pensions, were all provided by special accounts. Although it does not occupy financial revenue, the huge amount of this fund still makes Zhou Bai can't help but say it. At this time, the economy in the joint theater was also developing rapidly, and the huge capital investment in infrastructure construction consumed too much money, which made Zhou Bai start to worry about whether it would cause greater problems once the capital chain was broken and involved in the army.

"Don't worry! No problem! Meng Xiang said with a smile. Although there is not much war at the moment, once the prelude to the war begins, the loss cannot be replenished. It needs to be trained well in advance in order to have a sufficient source of reserves.

As for the problem of funds, Meng Xiang can still support it. The Germans were gathering strength for the next offensive. Britain and France had already declared war on them, and their strength was not enough. They had good soldiers, but their factories could not keep up with their expansion, they needed more tanks and planes, and they held in their hands the vast wealth they had gathered from the occupation of Poland and the Czechs. As a result, the copycat company received an arms order of 50 million US dollars. Umbrella also received an order for $30 million.

In addition, under the shadow of World War II, European countries increased arms purchases, and two companies also received orders of 50 million US dollars. But they only accept the purchase and sale of artillery, tanks, planes and ships. These were more profitable, and guns and the like, were urgently needed by the rapidly expanding vanguard army.

This $100 million in arms is still quite a bit worse than buying the Americans, and if it weren't for the affordable prices of the two companies, I am afraid they would not be able to compare with the Americans' deep pockets. Their relationship can permeate every corner of the political arena. The deal behind it is far from being an arms deal. However, the Americans make money, and Meng Xiang, who bought a lot of arms company shares early, also makes money. He withdrew 50 million dollars of funds to exchange for stocks, and in less than half a year, it rose by nearly half.

The prices of all kinds of materials he buys are also rising. After selling some of it, another $30 million arrived.

Just now the profits from selling arms and medicines can support the expansion of the army on the basis of ensuring subsistence allowance and compulsory education, not to mention that more orders will be received in the future, so Meng Xiang is not in a hurry.

In addition, with the outbreak of World War II, the industry and commerce in the joint theater also received a lot of orders, and the total amount was tens of millions of dollars. This is just the beginning, under the control of the vanguard army, they have prepared in advance and have greater initiative. With more adequate financial revenue, some of the funds that need to be paid by Meng Xiang will be much less. There is undoubtedly more money injected into the army.

For example, compulsory education, which can be partially alleviated with the financial intervention of the war zone.

Another example is the construction of various infrastructures, which can raise social funds in the form of shares, which also reduces the number of times Meng Xiang pays out of his own pocket.

What made Meng Xiang even more reassuring was that the four Yamato-class battleships on hand were almost completed. Who doesn't want such a ship? These sales are enough for the army to toss for a long time.

However, Meng Xiang will not expand his army too much. His main purpose remains the same, mainly to be an elite soldier. In a sense, this trend of recruiting expansion is also arranged to block the addition of new clones. Even if the number of 2 million is not enough for his ultimate goal, even with the addition of new clones, it will need to be digested steadily for a while. At present, it seems that 2 million troops are enough for Meng Xiang to develop for a while.

"2 million troops, it's enough for the time being." After Meng Xiang got 200,000 clone soldiers, he was a little fearless. It's no wonder that when the number of clone soldiers was controlled at 20,000, Meng Xiang couldn't use the clone soldiers as the main force at all. But now that it has been increased tenfold, even if he fights a battle with all the clones, Meng Xiang can support it.

It is precisely because of the cannon fodder feature that clones can be consumed and replenished at any time, as long as hundreds of more barracks are built, tens of thousands of clones can be replenished every day, and others will be dragged to death.

In the future, each side may have its own cannon fodder, but who can drag the army of clones with bases now? When the clones are directly produced and pick up the cheap weapons produced in the base to show the skills of an elite soldier, the vast sea of soldiers is enough to overwhelm any elite army. The strategy of the Sea of Violent Soldiers has begun to show its invincible power.

However, Meng Xiang didn't want to use this trick lightly, he only kept it as a killer feature. The rejuvenation of China is not obtained by relying on the help of others, picking up ready-made ones, which requires the awakening of the dignity of the Chinese nation with blood, and the tempering and sublimation of the entire nation in the great era of blood and fire, in order to create a national backbone that will never bend.

The enemies of a nation and a country will exist at any time, defeating the Oriental devils and the Western devils. Having defeated these people, there may be other enemies.

And the base always made Meng Xiang feel that there was an unsolvable mystery shrouded in it. Once there is a problem with the base and the support of the base is lost, will the lambs who are guarded in China experience another slaughter and tribulation?

Maybe in the future world, clones are just cannon fodder, but in Meng Xiang's eyes, they all have fresh faces, and as their commanders, what they need is to let them live better.

They are also an integral part of the elite soldier plan to build.

At this time, Huaxia, whether in the navy or the air force, was very weak. In order to grab the cake in World War II as soon as possible, Meng Xiang needs more talents. And the training center of the base is a sharp weapon against the sky. If there is enough time, if all 200,000 clone soldiers have been trained by the training center, I am afraid that the 200,000 army will be able to sweep away.

And the training center, only for clones.

Unfortunately, the number of places in the training center has always been limited to meet the expansion needs of these technical arms.

Meng Xiang has always held regrets, after being promoted to the third level, he went to check again with hope, and found that the quota limit of the upgraded training center was indeed much relaxed, but there were only 36 places. Although it has increased by 4 times compared to the original 9 people, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the rapidly expanding army, making it impossible for Meng Xiang to realize the dream of a super gorgeous elite army.

However, Meng Xiang regretted that he was also satisfied with this.

The increase in the number of new weapons of all kinds has also made the training time not decrease with the upgrade, and the training time in the training center has not changed, ranging from one day to three days. Even if it is calculated according to three days, it is equivalent to the appearance of 12 elites in one day, and more than 300 elites appear in a month. According to the pilots who occupy one-third of the quota, the speed of replenishing more than a thousand elites a year can also catch up with the general combat consumption.

The navy, which is also listed as the focus of the next step of development, can command a large fleet of more than 1,000 naval officers. If we add the training of ordinary people, if we survive the accumulation stage of the first two years, the vanguard army can go to the ocean to challenge the strong Japanese army.

At the beginning, Meng Xiang was also worried that the clone naval officer lacked the background of a century-old navy. But when Meng Xiang learned about the characteristics of the training center, his worries were much weaker.

The actual simulation data in the training center is getting closer and closer to reality. The base is constantly scanned by the area under its jurisdiction and radar, and the corresponding terrain and related data are entered. Through spies, Meng Xiang also obtained some of the British's naval information, and also entered the base as a reference. The base is also scanning the data and information within a command radius of 10,000 kilometers through unknown means, inputting it into the intelligent brain, and improving the realistic simulation of the training center. The simulated war scenes in the training center are not inferior to actual combat at all.

The training of the clones in it is not just indoctrination. Maybe it's a lot less flexible, but the stereotypical clones will also block most of their mistakes.

If they run in reality for a few more years, these clone officers will grow into the backbone of Meng Xiang's control of the army. RO！ ~！
