The Chinese army evolved from the Ryukyu New Army in the past, and the Ryukyu New Army was pieced together by Xiao Letian from the earliest four parts: veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven, Han refugees, Japanese samurai, and Ryukyu natives.
Before Xiao Letian became Prime Minister of Ryukyu, these warriors under him could only be called guards, or even company bodyguards. Although they received rigorous modern military training arranged by Xiao Letian every day, they still regarded them as The common people think of themselves.
It was not until Xiao Letian overthrew the Japanese Shimadzu family in Ryukyu and became the prime minister of Ryukyu that he began to train new troops on a large scale. However, since Xiao Letian knew what he wanted from the beginning, his future strategy was very clear. It is to follow the path of elite soldiers, and the most resources should be reserved for the navy.
Using the navy's giant ships and cannons as dots, ferocious firepower as the radius, and cooperating with tough marines, special zones or Chinese autonomous regions were established in the Qing Dynasty and in all coastal and riverside areas where Chinese people live.
As the number of these special zones increases and the market becomes more and more prosperous, mercantilism will naturally bring sufficient returns on wealth, and this wealth can further improve the level of industrialization of the Chinese nation and create a stronger fleet.
This is a very virtuous cycle. There is no need to bear the burden of a large army. Limited resources are used wisely. This is the guarantee of the super combat effectiveness of Xiao Letian's army.
At present, Xiao Letian has four reinforced divisions, each with a strength of about 8,000. This is the entire combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps. Although there is no clear naming ceremony, but I don’t know how, the lower-level officers and soldiers prefer to name them as Qinglong and White Tiger. The four strengthening masters are called by the names of the four holy beasts, Suzaku and Xuanwu.
Before Xiao Letian's expedition to Europe, the Ryukyu New Army actually only had four reinforced regiments, with a total strength of only about 15,000 people. Although Ryukyu had trained a large reserve force at that time, Xiao Letian had always been very cautious. During the expansion of the army, the number of regular troops has been suppressed.
The first regiment at that time was the predecessor of the current first division, and its members were basically composed of veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is the old foundation for Xiao Letian's career. In addition, China has used the dragon as a totem since ancient times, so the first division is called Qinglong by many people.
These veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven have rich war experience for many years, and of course their overall quality is the highest. Therefore, no one is dissatisfied with their combat effectiveness. It is not an exaggeration to call them Qinglong.
The second regiment later developed into the second division, commonly known as the White Tigers. This is a team formed by Xiao Letian by absorbing a large number of Japanese samurai and ronin. The core of it is the Bato Team, which has the right to wield swords.
These masters of hand-to-hand combat have always been commandos on the battlefield. When the war is at its most stalemate, a surprise soldier suddenly and quickly penetrates into the enemy's formation with the bloodiest melee combat. The panic created can definitely turn the tide of the battle.
The white tiger is a sacred beast of great ferocity, and these Japanese samurai who are as fanatical as lunatics deserve this title.
The third group is Xuanwu, which is composed of refugees from the Qing Dynasty, mainly people who were persecuted by the war and could not survive, as well as the original Han immigrants from Ryukyu.
Xuanwu is good at defense, which is very similar to the hard-working character of ordinary Chinese people, and the third division developed from the third regiment is the most awesome in civil engineering and front line defense.
The perseverance of this unit cannot be overemphasized. All the soldiers are as silent as old scalpers. They can build fortifications as quickly as possible, dig trenches as fast as the fastest in the world, and their endurance in the face of serious casualties is unparalleled. accessible.
Xiao Letian once made a joke. If there is such an army in the world, its morale does not collapse even after losing two-thirds of the battle, and it still continues to fight in silence. If there is such an army, then it can only be Third Division.
The last army is the Fourth Division. Its skeleton is basically composed of the indigenous people of Ryukyu. As we all know, Ryukyu has suffered from the Shimadzu family's colonial rule for nearly 200 years. Xiao Letian's redemption is almost equivalent to the Phoenix Suzaku reborn from the ashes.
These Ryukyu natives cherish this hard-won opportunity to restore their country very much. They know that if it were not for Xiao Letian, the Ryukyus would have been annexed by Japan.
Only those who have tasted the taste of being enslaved will cherish the opportunity to rise in front of them more. Therefore, the army composed of these Ryukyu natives has extremely fanatical combat effectiveness.
Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Suzaku, these four nicknames all have their own origins, and these four teams basically represent the earliest four major components of Xiao Letian's command, which are also equivalent to the four major forces.
For Xiao Letian, the unique spirit of the four major forces must of course be retained, but at the same time they should not be allowed to try to pull the mountaintop. Therefore, in the following years, Xiao Letian carried out several military reforms.
Expanding the army, dismantling the establishment and then rebuilding it. The four major forces can never form an army alone. Instead, they integrate with each other, break everything into pieces and then knead them together again.
In fact, the current four master regiments are no longer the same as in the past. Every army and even every company is made up of mixed personnel. Among them are Han Chinese, Fuso people, Ryukyu people, and Heavenly Kingdom veterans. There are even Chinese from Southeast Asia.
However, the army is a very magical place. The most important thing here is inheritance. The composition of the personnel has obviously changed, but the original military spirit of the army has been retained.
This may be what Xiao Letian often said, "the iron camp is made of water and the soldiers are flowing water"!
Today, the four divisions of the Marine Corps are facing the first battle after the establishment of the Chinese nation. People are not only fighting for glory and title, but also fighting for the future survival of the Chinese nation, so the most arduous task is naturally There are countless people fighting for it.
The main hall had turned into a vegetable market. Xiao Letian looked at everything in front of him with joy. This was the spirit, the enterprising spirit of a new force, as dazzling as the morning sun.
Raising his hand, the chaotic scene gradually calmed down. Xiao Letian smiled and said, "Four battalions, two thousand soldiers, I will make arrangements later! The duty of a soldier is to obey, there is no use fighting in front of me..."
At this moment, Sakamoto Ryoma, who was leaning on the stretcher, suddenly said, "Prime Minister! Your plan is indeed very sophisticated, but there is still an important question that you have not answered... Excuse me, the Satsukawa Strait and Oshima What exactly are you going to use to block the east and west entrances to the strait?”
"Don't forget that even if the Zhiyuan can get back in time, it's just a battleship. It can only block a section of the strait!"
Lord Ryoma's question calmed down the previously frenzied atmosphere, and people asked in confusion, "Yes! What if the Russians find that they can't attack Highland 694 and escape?"
