You call me a big treacherous evil?

After finalizing the deployment plan of these two weapons, Victor returned to Fort Kremlin and began to toss about expanding the army by 25 divisions.

In addition to twelve mechanized infantry divisions and seven armored divisions, the remaining six divisions are two paratrooper divisions and sixteen special establishments including combat engineers, independent artillery brigades, and mountain troops.

This round of military expansion is basically a reorganization of those troops that have the foundation and are tenacious in combat.

For example, in the Battle of the Bulge, the cavalry unit pierced through the last five kilometers in one go.

It will now be reorganized into the [-]st Mechanized Infantry Division, the first mechanized unit in the army.

Then, the newly established units that have no background are organized into infantry divisions to fill the front line.

Of course, the cost of this round of mechanized transformation is very high, and a lot of equipment has just left the factory or is new equipment that is about to be put into production.

Therefore, in addition to personnel, the troops are seriously short of all kinds of equipment.

Especially the seven armored divisions have to start training from scratch.

But at least now there are trucks and tractors, so their training no longer needs to be trained with wooden models like the armored training group at the beginning.

Of course, one of the most painful things when transitioning from an infantry unit to an armored unit is not just that soldiers have to learn to use new weapons.

Officers also have to learn new theoretical knowledge and command skills, and basically have to go back to the furnace and retrain.

Soldiers and officers who failed the mechanized units were reassigned to the re-established infantry divisions to continue the work they were accustomed to and did well.

Of course, the transition to the armored force was not the most painful. The most painful thing was the two infantry divisions that were selected to be reorganized into the airborne army.

These two infantry divisions are the oldest base in Victor's hands. They went all the way to St. Nicholas to overthrow the emperor, and then fought the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of Bagno.

The [-]st and [-]nd Infantry Divisions were awarded the title of Guards.

The flags of these two troops are the victory flags with the unit number written on the Kanglian flag. It can be said that if the entire Kanglian Flame Army excludes the two brigades of the Golden Company and the Airborne Army.

The two infantry divisions are the most able to fight.

Originally, Victor wanted to change these two infantry divisions into mechanized infantry divisions, but if they were changed to mechanized infantry divisions.

Victor really couldn't squeeze out two elite infantry divisions to fill the Airborne Army's establishment.

So in the end these two super capable infantry divisions became the Second Guards Airborne Division and the Third Guards Airborne Division.

The two brigades in the original Airborne Army were reorganized into the [-]st Airborne Division after adding a brigade.

This caused the embarrassing thing that the two second and third airborne divisions who hadn't learned how to parachute were guard divisions, while the first division, which was super able to fight, didn't have the title of guard.

However, this pot can only be carried by Victor himself.

Originally, if the two brigades of the Airborne Army had been involved in the Battle of Bagno, even if they had been fighting guerrillas with winged arms in the rear, they could still have the title of Guards.

After all, the paratroopers were supposed to do this kind of thing, but this time they didn't go deep into the enemy's rear by airborne, but ran all the way in.

But one of the brigades, Victor, happened to be placed in the Far East.

By the time they arrived, the ink on the negotiating agreement was dry, and the war would have been over long ago.

So now the embarrassing thing is coming. The first brigade in the [-]st Airborne Division is the Guards Brigade, but the [-]nd Brigade is not, so the [-]st Airborne Division is not the Guards Division either.

Because the commendation from the Politburo is for the First Brigade.

So every time he went to inspect the Airborne Army, Victor felt as if he owed something to the Second Airborne Brigade, and felt uncomfortable.

With the troops of three divisions, Kanglian's airborne army finally had the airs of an army.

So Victor set up another military command of the Airborne Army, which finally allowed the Airborne Army to have its own brand, and no longer required the General Staff to personally intervene in everything.

And the first commander of the airborne army was Victor's old subordinate, one of the old brothers of the [-]th Guards Infantry Company, Reizetov with orc blood.

After so many years, this guy who likes to throw away his rifle and go up to chop people with two axes has become one of the last few people in the infantry company who were still serving in the army.

And this guy, who had a headache just looking at the letters, insisted on passing the officer training and examination after the establishment of Kanglian.

He managed to get to the rank of general, so when Victor wanted to find an old infantryman full of offensive spirit for the Airborne Army, Victor was the first to think of this old man.

As for the fact that his old chief wanted him to command the Airborne Army, Reizetov actually wanted to refuse at first.

After all, as a simple and strong Kanglian man, Reizetov, who knew that Victor was tossing the armored troops, wanted to command the armored troops very much.

After all, what is lacking is what needs to be made up for. After being bombarded by the Teutonic machine guns and artillery, Reizetov really wanted to command those armored units that were extremely exciting just by looking at the organization.

But after Victor had a word with him, Reizetov happily went to the Airborne Army to take up his post.

The sentence Victor said was "Armored troops, you can only command troops in the command vehicle, but in the airborne army, you still have the opportunity to chop people with an axe."

So after thinking about the pleasure of cutting people with an axe, Reizetov resolutely chose to lead the Airborne Army.

Let them feel the offensive spirit of the first reckless man of the [-]th Infantry Company.

Then Reizetov discovered a small problem.

That is that Reizetov is a down-to-earth man, and down-to-earth means that.

Reizetov, a man who could charge against the Teutonic fire net without changing his face, was actually afraid of heights.

When training on the ground, Reizetov has not discovered this problem.

But when boarded the airship and started skydiving.

Rizetov found his legs that had been able to walk flat on the muddy and pitted ground after being covered by artillery fire in the trenches.

This time, like a stone, it took root in the airship and remained completely motionless.

In fact, I don't want to leave. In fact, I want to stay.

But as the supreme commander of the airborne army, is it reasonable to dare not even jump with a parachute?

So I was regretting why I believed Victor's nonsense at the time. Skydiving was very exciting and super fun, and it was much more exciting than touching the Teutonic post.

Did not choose to stick to the armored forces, but came at the same time as the airborne army.

Ryzentov used his own breastfeeding strength and the courage he had when he kidnapped the landlord's daughter from the village to the barn, moved his legs and jumped off the airship.

After a brief coma, Reizetov successfully made his first airborne.

Reizetov then participated in almost every training airborne.

Under the leadership of Reizetov, the supreme commander of the Airborne Army, the training of the [-]nd and [-]rd Guards Airborne Divisions progressed very quickly.

After all, the general will take the lead in skydiving and will participate every time.

The soldiers of the airborne division also felt that falling from the sky did not seem to be such a scary thing.

Reizetov, who participated in almost every parachute training, also came to a conclusion because he should not be afraid of difficulties and muster the courage to overcome them.

That is, my fear of heights is basically cured.

But this does not affect his continuing to serve as the commander of the Airborne Forces.

Because every time I faint, I only faint for a few seconds or ten seconds, and it will not affect the subsequent airborne at all.

In addition, the mission of the Airborne Army reminded Reizetov of the days when he was in and out of the Teutonic defense line.

So no one knew that the commander-in-chief of the Kanglian Airborne Force had a fear of heights.

After finalizing the most difficult airborne army, the speed of reorganization of the rest of the troops was much faster.

However, the special organization of the sixteen brigades still made Victor a little troubled.

Because whether it is combat engineers, artillery or mountain infantry, they all belong to special arms that require a lot of training.

Therefore, Victor needs to transfer a group of veterans and outstanding officers from the army as seeds, so those troops who have been transferred from the army will naturally not be very happy.

In addition, the training of these special units is more troublesome, so Victor spent the second half of the 23 years in various training bases.



120 The Rise of the Empire

When Victor was full of Kanglian because of this round of military expansion.

Franche also took care of their first armored car.

Even because of the bad guy Victor, in order to add trouble to Shinra, he taught Captain Jean some secret recipes for quickly expanding the army.

Such as general vehicles.

Therefore, this armored vehicle of Franche has an epoch-making modular design.

When it first left the factory in the local automobile factory, it was just an ordinary half-track trailer truck.

According to Franche, this low-slung truck is a special vehicle designed for the development of the Dark Continent and the Franche colony south of the New World.

It is mainly used to cope with the harsh road conditions in the rainforest, and one front can tow several more carriages.

But in fact, Franche's factory has long developed special accessories for this armored vehicle.

The original open cockpit and cargo compartment structure, when needed, only need to buckle the riveted armor module, and add a machine gun, and it will quickly become a reconnaissance vehicle.

If the 76mm anti-aircraft gun under development is installed in the warehouse, it becomes an anti-armor assault vehicle.

Basically, modules are developed for the vehicles needed by the Franche army.

It is just produced separately under other names.

For example, the overall armor of the compartment part of an armored vehicle is produced in the name of building water tanks.

So when this half-track vehicle was equipped with troops, Shinra's military inspection team did not interfere much with it.

After all, military mechanization has become a trend now.

Franche is outside the treaty, and Shinra will not stop him from equipping some half-track transport vehicles.

After all, after opposing Franche's possession of armored vehicles last time, Franche's encirclement and suppression of the Dark Knights has not been very smooth.

This allowed the Dark Knights to make several more terrorist attacks.

Therefore, in Shinra's view, Franche has more mobile vehicles, which will not affect the power gap between the two sides.

Now Shinra's main attention is still focused on Kanglian. After the Battle of Bagno, Kanglian began a round of military expansion.

Although the scale is not too large, it is only a 50.00% military expansion.

For a country as extensive as Kanglian, the army of 70 people is actually just enough.

However, this round of Kanglian's military expansion is mainly to increase mechanized troops and some special offensive units such as combat engineers.

Shinra began to cheer up, preparing to increase the mechanization level of the troops as well.

After all, before Victor only had a group of infantry in his hands, he was able to create two large sieges.

Now he has a group of mechanized troops in his hands, which is a bit too scary.

And it's not just a matter of mechanized troops, in the second half of 23 years.

With the continuous improvement of Kanglian's economic situation, Kanglian began to build a mobilization system similar to Shinra.

From this year onwards, students in all schools of Kanglian began to increase military courses, and the army also opened various training courses and military training camps for them during the holidays.

At the same time, the number of military academies began to increase, and Queen Victoria of Shinra began to feel a huge threat.

She asked if it was possible to launch a preventive war against Kanglian now and interrupt Kanglian's military construction.

But soon she got a negative answer.

It has only been five years since the end of the war, and it is still far away from digesting the fruits of victory in the war.

Especially the Far East colonies, after the formation of the colonial troops, the speed of development is not satisfactory.

So the current governors of the Far East, after having had enough of the days when their subordinates were often confused.

Then it began to imitate the Dark Continent, carrying out village integration and racial segregation.

Of course, the biggest problem facing Saint Lo now is actually the lack of human resources.

Moreover, a large amount of new equipment has not yet been put into the army, and the mechanization of the army has just begun.

It is not a very good choice to start a war with Kanglian now.

Especially in terms of the number of airships, Shinra is still at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Victoria can only temporarily give up the idea of ​​declaring war on Kanglian and wait for the army to be ready.

On the other side of the ocean, in the new continent, the Brandenian Empire held another referendum in the second half of this year, completely annexing all the former federal lands.

Of course, the governor of Charles State has become an overseas province of Shinra, and even the governor named Meyer is now in the factory in Charlie City, starting to build Shinra's emperor-class airship.

So in order to avoid conflict with Shinra, Brandenia did not move in the direction of Charlie State.
