While the civil affairs and future layout are being arranged within the territory, the military has not been idle.
The demons are becoming more and more active, so much so that even though they have not launched a general attack, the kingdom's numerical disadvantage has become more and more obvious.
The army has been promoting military fighting spirit, and after implementing it for a period of time, the casualty rate has been significantly improved. However, there is a constant stream of demons, and they are fighting almost every day.
In nearly infinite battles, the garrison forces have tried their best to obtain an average training period of two months per year for each battalion-level unit.
The training includes rest, new equipment training, tactical discussion and study sessions, etc. Two months have reached the limit. If the pressure from the demons continues to increase, the entire garrison will have to cancel the training, leaving only about ten days for handovers and family visits. But compressing time to that point would be detrimental to maintaining combat effectiveness for a long time.
Is it possible that the reserves of the 51st and 52nd regiments will be used even if Phoenix City has not been directly attacked?
It's really outrageous and unfeasible.
Reservists are soldiers, but those who have retired from active service cannot be considered professional soldiers. In addition, their morale will be worn out after returning to society, and there is a huge gap between the combat effectiveness of front-line troops. Returning to the regular military order will take time and battles, and major battles will occur under field conditions. The risk of loss is greater.
The two generals did not hesitate for too long. They waited for the expansion of the garrison and the order to form the 23rd regiment.
This round of expansion increased the number of regiments other than the 11th Regiment (the standard regiment) that were less than four battalions to four battalions... In fact, there are only two regiments, the 3rd and 22nd, to be supplemented, with more than 1,000 people.
Then there are the expanded company-level units at the headquarters and regiment headquarters, including one transportation company, one security company, and one cooking company each at the headquarters, and an air force ground support maintenance company from the 12th regiment. Together they are almost a battalion.
Including the 23 new regiments, the total expansion will be 4,000 people.
It’s not a lot, but it can solve a lot of problems.
After completing the training, the 23rd Regiment will replace the functions of the 12th Regiment, be responsible for the logistics of the entire army, and retain the escort troops of the next battalion. After they took over part of the transportation work, the 12th Regiment was officially converted into an air force unit.
The transportation force is not a front-line force, but foreign forces don't understand the rules here. Putting the 23rd Regiment's headquarters in the south will also have a certain deterrent effect. In this way, the 21st Regiment can squeeze out one or two additional battalions to come to the north to help from time to time. hand.
The key point is that after the 12th Regiment was officially transformed into an air force, so many troops were no longer needed to complete the same combat mission.
Along with this round of expansion, there are also plans for future expansion.
Due to the good net population inflow, another regiment can be expanded next year. If the situation is more urgent, a new fourth regiment of the Blade Force can be established.
In addition, the management framework of the 41st regiment must be established now to cooperate with the institute's ghost slime mold project. If the slime mold soldiers can be used, 41 to 50 regiments of slime mold legions will be reorganized directly.
The quota for ten regiments at one time almost made the two generals cry.
The garrison has been established for so many years. At the beginning, it relied on three sharp blade regiments to fight. The five regiments plus the 21st and 22nd regiments lasted for a long time, and finally saw a big one.
The two were unwilling to wait, and the administrative framework of the 41st Regiment was quickly set up. While contacting the equipment supply, they sent people to run between the central cooling tower and the palace.
The concept of the slime mold army is very strange, but you will understand it when you see it in action. I have seen the power of the Great Mother.
This project is advancing very quickly, with an average modulation cycle of ten days. In just two months, several generations have been stacked, and small batch registration has been launched.
The so-called registration refers to the ghost identity of the slime mold. Each ghost corresponds to a sixteen-digit code. The slime mold can only leave the central cooling tower control area by reporting its ghost code. As for the ghosts who can't remember the code, they are not qualified to drill into the slime man.
The temporary administrative staff of the 41st Regiment moved into the control area on the spot and recruited soldiers nearby.
Then it was awkward.
The ghosts are not citizens, nor are they controlled by others. They don't know the good of the kingdom. Most of the ghosts who were ordinary people in life are not very interested in protecting the kingdom. When discussing wages and benefits with them, they are a little confused about whether it is good or bad.
Recruitment was inefficient, but fortunately the numbers were relatively loose.
The slime mold people will give priority to making up for the lack of population in New Pettus. In order to meet the basic urban defense and construction needs, tens of thousands are needed here, and Xincheng and South Town have a quota of several thousand for pilot projects.
Among the nearly 20,000 people, they were still deceived to a thousand.
There are less than two battalions of a thousand people. After reporting back to the headquarters, I decided to leave it like this for the time being and wait for the ghost to reincarnate a few times to see if I can accumulate some memories to increase national identity.
With the addition of new units that don't have to worry too much about consumption, I thought it was great news, but little did I know that the trouble had just begun.
The lifespan of slime mold people is only 16 days. The first wave of recruits completed the report and arranged the training in the camp for just a few days, and it was time to melt.
Due to the management needs of the kingdom, the slime mold center asked them to try not to appear in front of ordinary people, so they had to be sent back one to two days in advance.
Then look for a slime mold body that matches your own spirit body. Depending on your luck, it will take one to three days before returning to the camp.
The appearance of the people who returned to the camp had changed, and the temporary administrators had a headache. They continued their training sessions and reported various situations.
Slime mold people have memory. When ghosts and slime molds are combined, they also behave very much like humans. They can melt and re-pick their bodies. The spirit body leaving the slime mold will cause amnesia!
Although the time to select a new body is limited, and the memory will not disappear 100%, there are not many parts that remain. It is too difficult to train them into qualified soldiers. They are probably only suitable for moving bricks on construction sites.
The matter was reported to Wang Qi, who has been thinking of a solution.
He thought about concentrating some nutrients to maintain a certain scale of cell-level connections, such as leaving a head and adding vertebrae.
There are just as many problems encountered.
The first problem is that the slime mold infected by the parasite cannot eat the same kind of food and cannot digest it. Wang Qi's biochemical knowledge cannot produce a set of digestive enzymes out of thin air.
The result of this problem is that the synchronization rate of the overall collapse of the slime mold is very high... Of course, if the synchronization rate is not high, macroscopic organisms cannot be formed.
The second problem is the slime mold collection. Defining a collection with no head and spine cannot be implemented.
Probably because the collection of slime molds also produces cell differentiation. Although some cells look primitive under the microscope, they are indeed responsible for transmitting neurotransmitters.
Therefore, the humanoid "Gundam" must be a complete body with "cockpit G-force buffer", and the problem cannot be solved by plugging.
When he received feedback from the military, Wang Qi was trying a new approach.
The new path is to let the slime mold people who are about to collapse jump directly into the slime mold culture pool, and achieve the preservation and replacement of cell-level information through zero-distance interaction.
This form helps keep the appearance of the slime mold unchanged while enhancing memory retention.
There is just one problem, the body remodeling will take longer.
The slime man was not assembled just before climbing out of the pool. There were several days of assembly and cell deformation periods before that. The ghost picked the body directly from the finished product mainly to see the "fitness of the cockpit."
And if he jumped directly into the slime mold puree, with Wang Qi's current understanding and adjustment ability of the system, it would take five days to complete the reorganization.
It seems like there are only two more days, but each cycle takes five days, plus the round trip time loss, the minimum is 21 days, which takes away 6 to 7 days. This is more than having two weekends a week, and what is even more outrageous is that the ghost does not actually enjoy the rest. !
However, after receiving feedback from various pilot projects and the military, Wang Qi decided to put it into use directly. At least to ensure that labor skills can be increased, otherwise hundreds of thousands of pure manpower will be useless. How can it be compared with a thousand Taiwan Sixth Cylinder engine?
But even if Natasha is allowed to install the latest version into the slime mold center, there are still more problems waiting.
