Chapter 1235 Far West Expeditionary Army
"This Far West Expeditionary Army is composed of elite soldiers selected from the Second Corps and the Third Corps. Almost all officers at all levels have conducted further studies in the Army Martial Arts Hall. They can perform all tasks loyally."
Somewhere outside the capital, the officers and staff of the military headquarters were all around Chu Yun, and standing below were about a thousand elite officers and soldiers. Although they had not experienced the battlefield for a long time, they had a solemn atmosphere. Without war, they did not mean that they were just people who were worth living.
On the contrary, they conduct hard training every day and exercise every month. They have various imaginary enemies, and maintain a high level of combat effectiveness by "fighting wits and courage" with imaginary enemies. Perhaps no other unit except the various troops within the Jiuzhou Army has such high-intensity training volume.
Moreover, the strong industrial production capacity provided them with enough guns and ammunition for training. This was an elite force smashed with modern training methods and a large amount of gold and silver.
In front of the soldiers standing straight, there were four Napoleon field guns and two Gatlin hand-cranked machine guns. They seemed to be under the inspection of Chu Yun, holding their heads and chests up, hoping that Chu Yun would see their most spiritual side, proving that the military headquarters was the right choice to invest money in them!
"It looks a bit like a modern army." Chu Yun had a lot of expectations for this special marine force.
In addition to the twelve infantry regiments, the Army Department also established several armies for special combat missions. They are well-equipped and have a streamlined personnel, and they spend more military expenses than ordinary troops.
Generally, such troops are used to be sent overseas to perform special tasks.
Due to limited resources, overseas expeditions are generally unable to dispatch a large number of overseas garrisons, so you must win by quality at this time.
"Many of their officers learn the languages of Western countries in the Army Martial Arts Hall, and are proficient in at least one foreign language. Among them, those with better language talents are proficient in two to three foreign languages. They are united together to cope with the complex situations of fighting between local countries." The Prussian officer of the Army Martial Arts Hall said to Chu Yun.
In order to train the new army, Chu Yun chose the Prussian model of the mid-to-late 19th century to train the army and the British Empire model to train the navy. Most of the instructors in the army martial arts lecture hall were Prussian and Austrian officers from the 19th century, while the Navy lecture hall was British and French officers.
It can be said that the Jiuzhou Army is absorbing the technology and experience of all military powers in the 19th century to build an unprecedentedly powerful army.
In order to successfully open up overseas markets and become world hegemony instead of the Spanish Empire, Chu Yun planned to manage Portsmouth, a bridgehead in Europe.
To deal with European countries, a group of officers who can communicate normally with local people are needed to join forces and rank.
This Far West Expeditionary Army was summoned here for training for this purpose.
The officer who led this special force was Sun Chuanting.
"Have the military's plan been reviewed?" Chu Yun asked Sun Chuanting.
"My subordinates have looked at it carefully no less than ten times. If the Western countries develop according to the circumstances listed in the plan, we will take corresponding measures. If the plan does not match the actual situation, then we will make independent decisions within the scope of our authority to safeguard our interests and protect our businessmen." Sun Chuanting replied.
It is a very expensive thing to send overseas garrisons in this era.
