Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

After talking about Type C division, let’s talk about Type D division.

The so-called Type D Division is not actually a regular army. They are more like Nanhua’s new recruits.

The soldiers in these Type D divisions are all made up of new recruits. The training time for these divisions is two years. If there is no war during these two years, the soldiers of these troops will be sent directly to the top three divisions after training.

If a war breaks out during this period, it will depend on the situation on the front line whether to send these reserve troops to support the front line.

Nanhua has a total of thirty Type D divisions, and all of these divisions are numbered after 100. Among these thirty divisions, there are pure rocket artillery divisions, howitzer divisions, air defense divisions, and pure infantry divisions.

This method of bringing together the same type of soldiers for training can greatly speed up the progress of soldier training. The South China Association does this naturally because it has tasted the benefits of this training method before.

After introducing the situation of the South China Army, let’s talk about the situation of the South China Navy.

Nanhua has established four major fleets since its founding. Among these four fleets, the South China Sea Fleet has always been the strongest of the four fleets. The strength of the remaining three fleets is similar, but Nanhua’s North Thailand Pacific Fleet is mostly equipped with old ships. However, considering that the South Thailand region has gradually stabilized, the Navy Headquarters is also considering strengthening the strength of the North Thailand Fleet.

The four major fleets of the South China Navy are composed of five aircraft carrier formations and four escort formations. The reason why the South China Fleet is the strongest is that this fleet not only has two more aircraft carrier formations, but also is equipped with two more Han-class battleships and four Tang-class heavy cruisers than other fleets.

In addition to the giant ships, the South China Sea Fleet is also equipped with far more light cruisers, destroyers and frigates than the other three fleets.

As for submarines and other types of functional ships, the South China Sea Fleet is equipped with even greater numbers.

Especially submarines. Nanhua has developed two types of submarines in recent years, of which 1 Swordfish-3 submarines have been produced. Now all these submarines are the main submarines of the other three fleets except the South China Sea Fleet. As for the South China Sea Fleet, they are equipped with Swordfish- submarines, and the number is over .

No wonder the commanders of the other three fleets always say that the Navy Headquarters is so biased that their eyes are even on Antarctica. This treatment is truly incomparable.

Some people may ask at this time, can these ships of Nanhua consume 180 million people?

This is naturally impossible.

In fact, there are only more than 600,000 people on the navy side who can actually board ships, and the remaining 400,000 are undergoing training. After all, the navy's shipbuilding plan has never stopped, so these 400,000 people are equivalent to the navy's reserve ship officers and soldiers.

In addition to the people on board, the Navy also formed a large number of Marines this time.

After getting the support of Sun Tong, the Navy competed with the Army for personnel in this military reform. Otherwise, even if the Navy had enough manpower, it would not have enough command talents. Among the 800,000 people in the South China Marine Corps, 400,000 are ready to be put into actual combat at any time after long-term training. As for the remaining 400,000, because the training time is too short, they can only serve as reserves for now.

Because the Marine Corps is mostly accompanied by naval warships when it is deployed, they have no shortage of heavy firepower support, so compared to the Army, the South China Marine Corps uses fewer heavy weapons. In order to improve the combat flexibility of the Marine Corps, the Navy Headquarters has formed five airborne divisions out of the existing 20 Marine divisions.

Restricted by the location of Nanhua, Nanhua will definitely pay more attention to the development of the navy and air force.

Just like the military reform in Nanhua this time, not only the navy has been strengthened, but the air force is actually not much behind.

Originally, the air force of Nanhua was very strong. After all, from the Kingdom of Xihua to the present Nanhua, the air force under Sun Tong has always been equipped with aircraft that are far more advanced than their contemporaries.

Although the aircraft equipped by Nanhua Space today are still filled with a number of "old-model" aircraft such as SUN-20 (MiG-15), SUN-27 (F6), SUN-25 (B29), SUN-28 (B47), etc., although these aircraft have been used by Xihua and Nanhua for many years, they are still the most advanced in the international arena.

In addition, the South China Air Force has also been equipped with a number of new aircraft in recent years, such as the new SUN-35. This aircraft was developed based on the J-7. As an aircraft that will be produced decades later, in this era, the combat effectiveness of the SUN35 is naturally unquestionable.

Another example is Sunbird, which was split from SUN. After SUN was divided into three, the newly born Sunbird and BH companies moved directly from Xihua to Nanhua.

Because the companies were established not long ago, the two companies did not immediately engage in full competition with SUN. Instead, they divided the work and cooperated with each other. Sunbird mainly developed aircraft, while BG mainly developed army equipment.

In 36, Sunbird launched a product called Jinwu No. 27. This aircraft was developed by the company based on some of the Su-1 fighter jet information that Sun Tong had provided. Compared with the prototype, the avionics equipment of this aircraft is naturally slightly behind, but other than that, the J-27 is basically no different from the Su- prototype in other performance aspects. Even in terms of range and maximum take-off weight, the version produced by Sunbird Company exceeds the original version.

Since an aircraft with such awesome performance has been developed, the South China Air Force will certainly not give up the opportunity to equip itself with such advanced weapons. Even though the price of the J1 aircraft is several times that of other aircraft, the Air Force purchased of them at one time.
