Chapter 974 Team Composition
Rhine city.
Commander Felegin of the Guards Division is assigning tasks to his subordinates.
Sitting in the first place, Felegin said to his subordinates: "According to the requirements of the General Staff, our Guards Division will dispatch most of its troops from the Rhine City, New Frankfurt, Lusaka and other stations around the Rhine City to participate in this attack. In the military parade, due to the special circumstances of the Guards Division, our troops and the brother troops of the Central Military Region are the main force in this military parade. "
After the capital was moved, the division of the East African Military Region was also adjusted. The original Western Military Region and the Central Military Region were integrated into three military regions: the Central Military Region, the Eastern Military Region and the Western Military Region.
At the same time, the original Nile Military Region and the Northern Military Region were reorganized into the Northwest Military Region and the Northeast Military Region. Only the Southern Military Region did not change much.
The renaming of the Nile Military District has a significant relationship with the area under its jurisdiction, which includes the Azande Plateau, the Nile Basin and other areas, so using the name Nile Military District is obviously no longer in line with the actual situation.
Based on the location, it is more appropriate to use the Northern Military Region, but East Africa already has a Northern Military Region, so we simply formed two major military regions, the Northwest Military Region and the Northeast Military Region, based on the locations of the two military regions.
As a result, the East African National Military Region has changed from the original five to six, and the additional Eastern Military Region evolved from the original Central Military Region with the first town and city as its core.
A large number of jurisdictions in the eastern part of the Western Military Region were merged into the Central Military Region, but similarly the Southwest Province (Namibia) was merged into the jurisdiction of the Western Military Region. At the same time, the coast of Angola was also obtained by East Africa from Portugal, so the jurisdiction of the Western Military Region was not weakened.
The new Central Military District includes the Central Province (the provincial capital is the Rhineland City), Mitumba Province, Hesse Province, Swabia Province, Okavango Province, Hohenzollern Province, Bohemia Province, Tete Province and Saarland Province. Twelve provinces (eastern and southern Congo, all of Zambia, western Tanzania, most of Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana, and parts of Angola), Lake Solon Province, Lunda Province and Kasai Province.
"The total number of troops participating in this military parade is more than 8,000, and there are many diplomats from various countries among the invited people. So if you embarrass me, I will definitely let you know what it means to be powerful!" Felegin almost gritted his teeth. said.
He knocked on the table and said: "My requirement for this exercise standard is that it cannot be worse than other troops. After all, the Guards Division is a garrison. The Guards Army is the face of our army. So much military expenditure is invested every year, so no matter what, it must be It is in line with the military appearance of the strongest army,”
Although Freigen said so, other troops in East Africa may not be convinced by the statement that the Guards Division is the strongest army in East Africa.
There is no doubt that the military expenditure of the Guards Division ranks first in the army, but the establishment of the Guards Division is one corps, while other East African troops are less than half of those in East Africa. Especially after the South African War, many East African armies were downsized. back.
However, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the various armies in East Africa are not convinced by each other, especially the ace troops of each military region, especially those participating troops that shined in the South African War.
Although the Guards Division also participated in the South African War, it was already at the end of the war when the Guards Division participated in the war, so the performance of the Guards Division was not recognized by other units.
Of course, Felege could not control the doubts raised by other units. Although it was true that the Guards Division had a poor record, the fundamental reason why the Guards Division did not participate in the entire South African War was that at that time the Guards Division had to ensure the first town. city security.
At that time, East Africa had to be on guard against the British Royal Navy launching sneak attacks at any time. Since the first town was less than 80 kilometers away from the Indian Ocean, the Guards Division was naturally unable to act rashly. Only in the later stages of the South African War could the Guards Division mobilize its troops. Go south to join the war.
"This military parade will be held on National Avenue in front of the Central Government Building. On April 27 this year, we officially started to enter the venue for rehearsal, so we only have two months to conduct targeted training. Each unit must select candidates with good looks and reasonable heights. Soldiers formed a square formation.”
"The phalanx of the troops under review is divided into thirty-two phalanxes. The infantry phalanx is in the pattern of 25 times 14 plus two, with two leaders. Our Guards Division is mainly responsible for the infantry phalanx, six of which Responsible for the Guards Division."
This is also the specification of the military parade square of a certain major country in the past life. Of course, East Africa still has to keep some of this military parade in order to prevent the military reform situation in East Africa from being revealed.
Therefore, this military parade mainly consists of an infantry phalanx, with some cavalry, artillery and naval force phalanxes. The artillery phalanx, as the main equipment display unit, is not equipped with car-towed artillery, but continues to be mainly towed by horses.
For the same reason, it is impossible for the air force, armored forces, and rapid mobile forces to participate in this military parade. These are the core secret parts of East Africa's military reform.
Although the air force and armored forces in East Africa have not yet taken shape, they still have the strength to bring out one or two aircraft and tanks to participate in the military parade.
Felegin continued: "In other words, our Guards Division will send out 2,112 people, accounting for almost 25% of the total number of troops to be reviewed. It also shows that the Central Committee and the General The General Staff attaches great importance to our Guards Division, so no one is allowed to hold us back, do you understand?"
"Yes, division commander!" the junior officers of the Guards Division assured.
"Before April, all the troops to be reviewed will be assembled. In April, they will conduct training in the western suburbs. They will rehearse on National Avenue at the end of April. They will officially participate in the parade ceremony on May 1st. You go back and prepare. The meeting is dismissed now!" Because said.
While the Guards Division was preparing, other troops of the National Defense Force were also preparing for the founding ceremony, such as all troops of the Central Military Region (the Guards Division also belongs to the Central Military Region), the 221st Division of the Eastern Military Region, the 312th Division of the Southern Military Region, the 411th Division of the Western Military Region, the 511th Division of the Northeastern Military Region, and the 631st Division of the Northwestern Military Region. These are basically the main forces of each military region.
After the adjustment of the military region, the numbers of various troops in East Africa also changed accordingly. The first number of the Central Military Region is 1, the Eastern Military Region (formerly the Central Military Region) is 2, the Southern Military Region is upgraded to 3, the Western Military Region is still 4, the Northeastern Military Region (formerly the Northern Military Region) is reduced to 5, and the Northwestern Military Region (formerly the Nile Military Region) is reduced to 6.
The importance of the land area of East Africa can also be basically seen from the military region numbering. Among them, 1 to 4 are undoubtedly the most important, and 5 and 6 are slightly worse.
The Southern Military Region has changed from the original serial number 5 to 3. In addition to the coastal area of Mozambique being incorporated, its resources are the most abundant in East Africa. In the south, there is also the British colony of South Africa, which needs to be vigilant. At the same time, we must be vigilant against the French in Madagascar (in fact, it should be the colonies of South Africa and the French colonies of Madagascar that should be vigilant against East Africa.)
In this military parade, the only cavalry unit reviewed was provided by the 221st Division. Although East Africa has begun to form armored forces, it still needs time, so East Africa still has a large number of cavalry units temporarily reserved.
As for the naval review troops, it is not worth paying attention to. After all, the navy cannot drive warships to Rhine City, and can only send a small number of personnel to form a marching column.
At the same time, East African military academies such as the Ferdinand Naval Academy and the Hechingen Military Academy will also send teachers and students to form a marching column to participate in this event. These two schools are the cradles of East African naval and land commanders and also represent the future of the East African army.
This is basically the main force of the East African military system participating in the military parade. In addition to reviewing the military forces of East Africa, other activities must be organized. After all, in addition to the military parade, the founding ceremony also includes the important link of the coronation ceremony.
