God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

After seeing the bamboo slips submitted by Zhou Yu, Liu Tong (internal energy) had a deeper understanding of the organization of the Jiangdong navy, but also felt more helpless.

Different from the similar size and number of the fleet in the north, the fleet organization of the Jiangdong navy is full of unique personal style.

That is, the number of ships in a fleet is not fixed, but depends on the officers who command the fleet. If they are strong enough and have made enough contributions, the size of the fleet will become larger. Conversely, if they are weak and have made mistakes, the size of the fleet will become smaller.

Of course, those who have made contributions will naturally be rewarded, and the increase in the fleet will naturally lead to an increase in related military expenditures.

But if there is a mistake, the number of places in the fleet will be reduced, and the military expenditure paid will also be reduced. However, if the officers commanding the fleet can pay for it themselves, the actual number of fleets he commands will not be reduced.

In other words, the organization implemented by the Jiangdong navy was essentially a variation of the military unit system.

The advantage of this system is mainly reflected in stability.

Of course, this stability refers to the attitude of officers towards soldiers, as well as the soldiers' binding upon officers and their corresponding support.

Under normal circumstances, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted is still guaranteed, after all, generals and officers will not be replaced easily.

However, the reality is that this soldier system has many shortcomings, many of which are fatal, which is very annoying.

However, Jiangdong's current system, if it wants to make large-scale military system changes, will undoubtedly shake the interests of all Jiangdong officers and soldiers, and will require an equal exchange. The benefits to be paid are also a price that the current country cannot afford.

This dilemma, with its pros and cons on both sides, is the most frustrating part.

It can be said that as long as there is no actual situation that exposes the defects of this system and its fatal weaknesses, it will be extremely difficult to make a compulsory replacement.

Moreover, this change, even if there is an apparent reason, is a blow to other officers.

Since no actual weakness is demonstrated, this change is tantamount to false guilt and proof.

If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. Then the credit system will be questioned to a great extent.

This is why Liu Tong (internal energy), who understood the consequences, could only watch from the sidelines and try to reduce the losses at most.

The shortcomings of this military system are that the credit system is obviously more important than the credit system. Therefore, there is no way but to wait until the military system collapses before we can take advantage of the situation to complete the changes.

However, the relevant shortcomings will also be told to Zhou Yu after the meeting so that Zhou Yu can be mentally prepared in advance. At the same time, after the explosion, Zhou Yu will be allowed to complete the changes to the internal system as much as possible by himself.

The top leaders of the country should avoid interfering if possible to avoid larger-scale civil unrest.

Some things are a deterrent as long as they exist. As long as they don't come to an end, many things can still be negotiated.

But once it's over, for many people, there is no option of retreat.

The army was organized into small groups, and each general was responsible for their own actions. It was unclear whether this would be a blessing or a curse. Liu Tong (internal energy) was not the only smart person present. Many people were not satisfied with the result, but they could do nothing about it.

From this perspective, this is also one of the drawbacks of peaceful reunification. There are always some things that are difficult to get rid of. We must make him understand the pain before we can prescribe targeted medicine to cure the disease.

It can be said that in the eyes of many people, they are all waiting for the day when Zhou Yu hits his head against the wall. Then they will come forward to help eliminate him and divide the cake.

However, after the navy's procedures were completed, the army's procedures were brought up again.

Due to its large number, the army does not have a shortage of manpower, because the entry threshold into the army is really low.

As for related weapons and equipment, there is no shortage of them as there is sufficient steel for smelting and manufacturing.

But when it comes to per capita military expenditure, a lot of people are arguing about it.

After all, throughout the empire, apart from regular soldiers, including county soldiers, it is no problem to say that there are over a million soldiers.

With such a large military force, even if each soldier earns one cent more per month, the annual military expenditure can increase by tens of millions, which is a heavy burden for a normal country.

Of course, Rome’s crazy military spending is not included, but military spending that completely disregards the consequences for the country does bring crazy combat effectiveness, but the cost is too huge.

The current standards for soldiers in the Han Empire are already considered a sign of military inflation compared to the past.

After all, when the country's military expenditure was at its lowest, it only provided food and accommodation, and there was no money left. Even so, they were still able to recruit a large number of people. It would be a bit outrageous to tell others about it.

However, even if no money was given, the country still did not have the ability to maintain the Central Guard. This shows how poor the country was at the time. It was so poor that it could not even get enough food for high-intensity training. This shows how poor the logistics of the army were.

As for the present, although there is competition among various factions and many wars have been fought, it is undeniable that in the military field, especially in terms of sustained combat capability, the major warlords themselves have also added many very effective things.

That is why every penny of military expenditure is calculated with great care. No one wants to harm future generations, and no one wants to leave the current difficulties to future generations to deal with, unless they really have no other choice.

"Eight hundred coins are enough, no more!!" Xun Yu stood up without hesitation after hearing everyone's explanation. His gentle demeanor could hardly be maintained and his tone became much harsher.

If we really follow the way these generals do, it goes without saying that within two or three years at most, all the money in the national treasury will be spent by the army.

In particular, a relatively complete pension system has been established, and additional payments have to be made for casualties on the battlefield to ensure that these soldiers do not have too many worries.

"Eight hundred coins is too much. What's more, soldiers make a living by their own strength. If everyone is equal, it is the biggest inequality..." Cheng Yu was not dissatisfied with this, but after a little more calculation, he found that it was difficult for the country to support such a large army.

Cheng Yu is actually quite capable of understanding and controlling people's hearts, but for the sake of Cao Cao, he doesn't mind using any means.

A cat that can catch mice is a good cat, whether it is black or white. In other words, people who can stabilize the army are the people the army needs most. (End of this chapter)
