Chapter 1563 Adhesive
The intersection of timelines and world lines always brings about some seemingly plausible changes.
At the beginning of the new century, no matter which world line it was, the East Country's navy was not considered strong. And in this world line, it was so weak that it could be ignored.
This is mainly because the military system of this world is too distorted. Compared with powerful ships and guns, it is better to get a speedboat with a few quasi-god-level powerful ships and guns. The high cost performance is too low in this extraordinary world.
In particular, the situation in this world is quite subtle. Citi does not have the ability to project its power into the first island chain, and there is no need for the East Country to confront it.
And because the relations between countries are relatively relaxed and the cost of sea transportation is high, there is no need to maintain a large navy. Although the cost of land transportation is also terribly high, it is much safer than encountering unknown monsters and exotic life in the ocean.
The real core strategic area of the East Country is the huge railway network that runs through Europe and Asia. This centralized transportation also facilitates defense.
With such political and geographical conditions, it is natural that the East Country has always maintained a terrifyingly large army, as well as a large-scale airship air force.
But now, a navy must be formed.
"A new appointment? Regional Military Commander? Me? Are you kidding me?!"
Lu Ping'an had just arrived in the country and had not had a two-day rest in the ancient city when a piece of appointment paper almost confused him.
"The ones who are listed need high-level combat power to be listed. At the same time, it is also to give you some of the blame. The real dispatch and command will not be counted on you who are not trained in the profession."
Lu Ping'an returned to the ancient city. He was originally planning to inquire about the situation, at least to communicate with Ms. Lin's church to see how they planned to respond.
As a result, as soon as he got home, many parties came to him at the same time, fearing that he was not aware of the situation, and sent him a lot of information.
Lu Ping'an frowned, took a look at the appointment letter and the scope of responsibilities, made a phone call, and talked with the leader of Gucheng City (who was his official ally), before he calmed down.
Faced with the increasingly dangerous ocean situation, we must take action. If we only rely on coastal cities and states to defend themselves, tragedies will continue to occur.
The only solution is to rebuild a navy, or at least a mobile marine corps.
Even if the attack is still inevitable, as long as the reinforcements arrive quickly enough, at least the losses can be reduced. Generally speaking, most civilian casualties are caused by looting and massacres after the city is captured.
"The third corps is scheduled to be organized as a police force because it is convenient for budget preparation and does not require a national congress for military reorganization. Upgrading it to the military is just a matter of completing the formalities next year. This year, these new departments will also have to prove their worth."
The coastline of the East Country is too long to be supported by just one or two legions. The plan that Wan Jing came up with was to set up more than six military regions along the coastline and station mobile battalions there.
In this way, if a certain area is attacked, the corresponding responsible troops will immediately take action, and other redundant legions can also provide support in the future.
"Why me? There are many people who are qualified to be the captain."
It is customary that this kind of troops need top-level combat power to guard them. Lu Ping'an's strength is good, but it is still inferior to the old eighth-level, let alone the quasi-god.
“Because you are special.”
First of all, with his continuous "merits", Lu Ping'an was really promoted to the rank of lieutenant general not long ago. At the same time, the official internal assessment of him was above level eight, which was enough for him to lead the army.
In addition, the backbones of these legions must be the foreign combat forces drawn and hired from the ocean world, and the third legion designated by Lu Ping'an is the main force from Mercury 42.
The long-arm tribe and the free fishmen are indispensable. Lu Ping'an's reputation is there, and he can allow them to exert their strength to the maximum extent.
Of course, the most important thing is the position that the Third Battalion (Legion) is responsible for.
"Wailongzhou and the surrounding areas?"
Now, Lu Ping'an understood everything and didn't refuse anymore.
Considering his relationship with Lin Nu's southern faction, this area is really the most suitable place for him to go.
As for the specific leadership of the troops, the senior combat forces are in charge and the specific person in charge is designated by the official internal department. This is considered a traditional practice. Lu Ping'an only needs to show up when necessary. It would not be a good thing if he really interferes in the details.
"Just prepare for high-level combat power. It's as simple as that."
Lu Ping'an was quite open-minded. He also noticed that the edge of his defense line was the estuary of the river. If handled well, the cities along the river would be much safer, including his own ancient city.
Lu Ping'an also knew that he was just a figurehead. He wouldn't be able to command a large army in battle, at least not in written form.
Of course, there are some things that both parties know about but cannot put on the table.
If the legion is led by an extraordinary "warlord", its combat effectiveness can be significantly improved. Lu Ping'an is indeed a rare high-level warlord, and his characteristics as a black knight make it impossible for him to publicize it openly, but it can still serve as a source of a killer when necessary.
In the next three days, Lu Pingan participated in a series of video conferences. Judging from the results, he was quite satisfied.
On the one hand, all parties did take it seriously and did not fool around, and really put out their best troops. More importantly, he did not have much responsibility, and was more used as a glue between various forces (official, military, Lin women's forces, Mercury 42 forces). After doing a good job of "decoration" and "signboard", he had enough autonomy to act.
This time the team vacation is quite short, giving each team a few days to deal with their own affairs.
Whether it is purchasing military supplies or going home to see relatives, they must report immediately after completing the work. After all, they may really be dispatched to the front line next.
Lu Ping'an was not in a hurry either. He let his men spread out and make their own decisions.
It's up to you to continue doing business or consider going to the front line. The Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce, and the army is the army. There is no need and cannot be any enforcement in this regard.
He also became diligent, which was unusual for him. He communicated with the ancient city and Changping Prefecture to learn about the situation in his hometown.
"We just need to guard the Yangtze River estuary, and the ancient city is in the middle of the Yangtze River, so the pressure is really not that great."
As an inland area within an inland area, the ancient city is relatively safe despite lacking development opportunities.
On the other hand, his main job is to conduct various meetings and receptions.
Most of them are old acquaintances from Mercury 42. Lu Ping'an's "old face" enables them to quickly accept the current situation and become a member of the Third Squadron.
During this time, Lu Ping'an met an old friend who was both unexpected and reasonable.
"Brother Guan, why are you here? Aren't you just one step away from becoming a god? If you leave, how will you become a god?!"
The “Quasi-God of Redemption” smiled at his old brother and patted him on the shoulder.
"If I don't come, what's the point of becoming a god?"
Happy Dragon Boat Festival.
