The next day, Su Yu spent 30,000 reputation points and another 10,000 reputation points to unlock a 122mm howitzer and an 88mm anti-aircraft gun respectively. These two artillery pieces were almost heavy firepower in Daxia.
Take the M122mm howitzer, for example. It has an effective range of 12,000 meters and a maximum rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute. It is equipped with incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, propaganda bombs, illumination bombs and other special grenades. It has powerful anti-tank combat capabilities. It's a deep pit several meters wide.
Nowadays in Daxia, the artillery used by the major forces are almost all 75mm mountain guns or 75mm field guns. There are almost no heavy artillery with a caliber above 100mm.
Therefore, Su Yu can be regarded as the first to try something new and be the first to equip a howitzer with a caliber as high as 122 mm.
The second artillery unlocked is the 88mm anti-aircraft gun. This artillery is not only an ace artillery for air defense, but also an ace artillery for anti-tank. Its comprehensive performance was known as one of the strongest artillery in the previous life.
It requires nine operators, because air defense is all about accuracy, with an effective range of 11,900 meters (flat shooting), a total mass of 7.4 tons, and a price of 300 reputation points.
"Commander, are you looking for me?"
At this time, Wang Wu came to the headquarters.
"I asked you to come here because I want you to form two artillery regiments directly under the headquarters for me, namely the heavy artillery regiment and the anti-aircraft artillery regiment. Each artillery regiment is equipped with 48 artillery pieces."
Then, Su Yu told Wang Wu the artillery equipment of the heavy artillery regiment and anti-aircraft artillery. He was so shocked that he was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"122mm howitzer!"
"I'll be good!"
"This is simply amazing," Wang Wu said in surprise, "If we form these two artillery regiments, then the strength of our security headquarters will be greatly improved."
"That's right."
Su Yu nodded and said, "That's why I ask you to form these two artillery regiments."
"No problem," Wang Wu said, patting his chest. "Now that the artillery training structure has been established, we have our own artillery training system. It is not difficult to establish two heavy artillery regiments."
"Then I'll leave it to you. The equipment will be delivered tomorrow."
In addition to spending 40,000 reputation points to unlock these two weapons, Su Yu also spent 38,400 reputation points to purchase 96 artillery pieces, which are the artillery pieces needed by these two artillery regiments.
Now that the world is in nuclear peace, the reputation value has stopped at 950,000. Even if it grows, it will grow very slowly.
Su Yu also began to plan the next step of troop development. He could not be satisfied just because he had 60,000 soldiers in his hands. In the eyes of the great powers, these 60,000 soldiers were nothing.
What's more, the imperial court is also training new troops now. He has repeatedly ignored the orders of the cabinet and Prince Gong, and he will definitely face revenge.
These high-ranking officials of the imperial court were like licking dogs in front of foreign powers, but they were very cruel to their own people. Many loyal ministers had their homes confiscated in the past, and it was not these people who did it, so he had to guard against it.
...
On January 7, Shanglu went through the eradication of gangs and the anti-smoking campaign. There are no more gangsters raping women in broad daylight and disturbing order on the streets.
There are no more people collecting protection fees indiscriminately, and the whole of Shanglu is surprisingly peaceful.
This kind of situation has not been seen in the past few decades. Even the patrol guards have been reduced by more than half because they are simply not needed.
After the detained gang members were redeemed for 30 yuan each, they found out that their gang leader had been beheaded. They were so frightened that they fled Shanglu. Even those who did not flee began to work honestly. Dare to do things like bullying the weak and sneaking around again.
As for the originally arrogant and domineering concession soldiers and foreigners, they now dare not easily offend the Daxia people because they know that there is an iron-blooded general coming to Shanglu.
Su Yu inspected the security of Shanglu under the protection of the guards. He was very satisfied, and then walked towards the train station. He planned to return to Jinling today because the Chinese New Year was coming soon.
At the train station, the entire guard battalion of soldiers gathered and were already waiting for Su Yu's arrival on special train D21.
When we arrived on the special train, the interior was very luxurious, with a red carpet on the floor, all leather seats, sofas and coffee tables.
His father knew that he was coming back, so he sent his own special train to pick up Su Yu.
This kind of treatment is only available to Su Yu in the entire Jinling City.
Judging from the technological level of this era, even if this special train is an express train, it can only travel about 70 kilometers per hour on average. It takes 5 hours to reach Jinling.
On the special train, only Zhang Hu and Wang Wen returned, while the rest stayed in Shanglu.
"Commander," Wang Wen spread out the map of Daxia and said, "The Shanglu Military Intelligence Bureau you asked me to establish has, after half a year of development, established branches in the southern provinces and Yanjing. The core The number of people has reached 1,300."
"continue to develop."
Su Yu looked at Wang Wen and said, "Information is very important for war. As long as we have important information before the enemy, our chances of winning will be one point higher."
"clear."
"Oh, by the way," Wang Wen pointed at the map and said, "according to the news from the Yanjing branch, the imperial court's second batch of new troops has been trained. The total number of these two batches of new troops is about 1.1 million, plus The imperial court originally had 900,000 troops, but now the total military strength of the imperial court has reached 2 million."
“According to the news,” Wang Wen continued, “the imperial court is likely to take action against the governors from various places next year, and the first target is likely to be the governors, as well as the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi in the south, but this news needs to be confirmed. "
"No."
Su Yu waved his hand and said, "This needs to be confirmed, and I can feel it. You said that I violated the cabinet's orders many times, as well as Prince Gong's orders, and the people shouted "Long live Commander Su." Do you think the court has taken any action?"
"hiss!"
Wang Wen gave Su Yu a clear look.
"Yes, the court is holding back. It plans to settle the old and new accounts together next year, so once the New Year is over, the court will definitely make big moves."
"Then it seems that I need to send more manpower to the intelligence substation in Yanjing," Wang Wen said thoughtfully, "this way we can grasp their movements as quickly as possible."
"No need, we still focus on stability. Don't alert others, just implement it according to your previous development plan."
"clear."
The five-hour drive passed slowly, and Jinling City was visible to the naked eye.
Su Yu felt a little nervous and uneasy. This was his first time meeting his cheap father, two older brothers, three younger brothers, and two younger sisters. It was inevitable that he would be at a loss.
His mother passed away more than ten years ago, and now his father is the only closest relative left. As for the other brothers and sisters, they are all half-mothers. Although they had a very good relationship when they were young, they have not seen each other for many years. Who knows if it has changed or not!
