The intersection of timelines and world lines will always bring about some specious changes.
At the beginning of the new century, no matter which world line it was, the navy of the Eastern Kingdom was not strong, and in this world line, it was so weak that it could be ignored.
This is mainly due to the fact that the force system in this world is too distorted. Compared with strong ships and powerful guns, it is really better to buy a speedboat with a few quasi-magical strong ships and powerful guns. The high cost is too low in this extraordinary world.
In particular, the form of this world is also quite subtle. Citigroup does not have the ability to invest its power in the first island chain, which also makes Dongguo have no need to fight against it.
Due to the relative relaxation of relations between countries and the high cost of sea transportation, there is no need to maintain a large navy. Although the cost of land transportation is also terrifyingly high, it is safer than suffering from unknown giant beasts and alien life in the ocean.
too much.
The real core strategic area of the Eastern Kingdom is the huge railway network that runs through Europe and Asia. This centralized transportation also facilitates defense.
With such a political and geographical situation, it is natural that the Eastern Kingdom has always maintained a huge and terrifying army. At the same time, it also has a large-scale airship air force.
But now, it is necessary to form a navy.
"New resignation? Regional military region commander? Me? Are you kidding me?!"
I had just arrived in the mainland and had not rested for two days after returning to the ancient city. The appointment paper almost confused my safety.
"The name requires high-level combat power. At the same time, it also gives you some responsibility. Real dispatch and command will not count on you, a non-professional."
When Lu Ping An returned to the ancient city, he originally planned to inquire about the situation. He wanted to at least communicate with Lin Nu Church to see how they planned to deal with it.
As a result, when he got home, many parties came to his door at the same time. For fear that he would not understand the situation, they sent a bunch of information.
Lu Ping'an frowned, looked at the appointment letter and the scope of responsibilities, made a phone call, and chatted with the leaders of the ancient city (this was his official ally) before he stabilized.
Facing the increasingly dangerous maritime situation, we must deal with it. If we only rely on coastal cities and states to defend themselves, tragedies will continue to happen.
Rebuilding a navy, at least a mobile marine corps, is the only solution.
Even if an attack is still unavoidable, as long as reinforcements come quickly enough, the losses can at least be reduced. Generally speaking, most civilian casualties are caused by looting and massacre after the city is broken.
"The planned third corps will be organized as police because it is convenient for budget preparation and does not require a national conference to reorganize military affairs. Upgrading to the army is just a matter of completing the procedures next year. These new departments will also have to prove their worth."
The coastline of the East Kingdom is too long, and it is impossible to survive with just one or two legions. Wan Jing's plan is to set up more than six military regions along the coastline and station mobile brigades.
In this way, if a certain area is attacked, the corresponding responsible troops will immediately take action, and other redundant legions can also provide further support.
"Why me? There are many people who are qualified to be the captain."
It is a common practice that this kind of troops need top-level combat power to guard them. Lu Ping'an's strength is good, but it is not as good as the veteran eighth-level troops, let alone the quasi-gods.
"Because of your special status"
First of all, with his continuous "meritorious service", Lu Ping'an really has the rank of lieutenant general who has just been promoted. At the same time, the official internal evaluation is that he is above level eight, which is enough to lead the army.
In addition, the backbone of these legions must be foreign combat forces recruited from the ocean world, and the third legion designated by Lu Ping'an is the main force from Mercury 42.
s??????.???
The Long-Handed Clan and the Free Murlocs are all indispensable. Lu Ping'an's reputation is there, which can maximize his power.
Of course, the most important thing is the position responsible for the third brigade (legion).
"Wailongzhou and the surrounding areas?"
At this time, Lu Ping'an completely understood and did not refuse any more.
Considering his relationship with Lin Nu's southern faction, this is really the most suitable place for him.
As for the specific leadership of high-level combat forces, and the specific person in charge is appointed internally by the government, it is a traditional practice. Lu Ping'an only needs to show up when necessary. It would not be a good thing for him to really interfere with the details.
"Just prepare high-level combat power. To put it bluntly, it's such a simple thing."
Lu Ping'an was very discerning. He also noticed that the edge of his defense line was the outlet of the river. If it was handled well, the cities along the river would be much safer, including his own ancient city.
Lu Ping'an also knew that even if he had a name, he wouldn't be able to command a large-scale army operation, at least according to written information, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Of course, there are also some things that each other knows well but cannot put on the table.
If the legion is led by an extraordinary "warlord", its combat power can be significantly increased. Lu Ping'an is really a rare high-level warlord. His characteristics of the black knight direction also prevent him from openly publicizing it, but he can still be used as a necessity.
The source of time’s trump card.
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 really paid attention to it, did not fool around, and really came up with elite soldiers and generals. More importantly, he did not have much responsibility. He was more responsible for all parties (officials, the army, Lin Nu’s forces, Mercury 42
(power), after completing the "display" and "signboard" work, he has sufficient autonomy to act.
The team's vacation this time is quite short, giving each team a few days to deal with their own affairs.
Whether you are purchasing military supplies or going home to see your relatives, you must report quickly after completing the work. After all, you may really have to accept dispatch and go to the front line.
Lu Pingping was not in a hurry, he let his personnel spread out and made his own decision.
It’s okay to continue doing business or consider going to the front line. The chamber of commerce is a chamber of commerce, and the army is the army. There is no need to force Ping An in this regard, and it cannot force it.
He also became unusually diligent. On the one hand, he communicated with the ancient city and Changping Prefecture to understand the situation in his hometown.
"Just guard the Yangtze River's outlet. Moreover, the ancient city is in the middle of the Yangtze River, so the pressure is really not great."
As an inland within an inland, the ancient city lacks development opportunities but is indeed relatively safe.
On the other hand, it is his main job, conducting various meetings and receptions.
Most of them are the "old faces" of Lu Ping'an, an old acquaintance from Mercury 42, who can quickly accept the status quo and become a member of the third brigade.
Among them, Lu Ping'an met an unexpected and reasonable old friend.
"Senior Brother Guan, why are you here? You are just one step away from becoming a god. If you leave, what will you do if you become a god?!"
"Quasi God of Redemption" looked at the old brother with a smile and patted his shoulder.
"If I don't come, what's the point of becoming a god."
