Chapter 168 The expansion of the army is very fast

The Taiping Kingdom's entertainment has made the war over Taiping Island dilute a little.

However, Li Xiang understood that this was just a tranquility in the eyes of the storm. Neither the United States nor Japan would let Taiping go easily. When the war with Japan began and China was supported by local support, Taiping had lost its original freedom and neutrality. However, before officially expressing its position, Americans could still calmly wait for Taiping's final choice.

Mainly in the eyes of Americans, Taiping Kingdom has always been a small country, and can be destroyed at any time when the Americans really take action. Even the Japanese generally believe that the previous failure was not because of their incompetence, but because of too many restrictions, and they dare not exert force.

It is precisely because of the contempt for Taiping Kingdom and the constraints of China, that Taiping Kingdom can still develop entertainment, which is a rare period of calm. Li Xiang will not just waste it on entertainment, and the expansion of military training has been continuing.

...

"The expansion of Taiping Island during this period was very fast. By July 25, it was estimated that their army had exceeded 10,000." This kind of bright thorn message was naturally received by the Americans, and the assistant Charlie couldn't help but remind Brennan Road again.

"An army of ten thousand people?" Brennan was also a little surprised. The number of US troops on Guam, which strengthened its garrison, was not so large.

"How many people are there in total?" Brennan had long forgotten the population of Taiping Country. Besides, the number of people in such a small country has changed too much.

"The information we got was 31,000, but the population on Taiping Island was estimated to be only about 25,000." Charlie blurted out. The information that was accurate to a thousand people was not confidential. It was introduced on the Taiping Country's national conditions website. Americans copied it directly.

"There are more than 20,000 people crowded in less than a square kilometer?" Brennan couldn't help but exclaim.

Perhaps only the population density of Mumbai in India can be compared with it. Mumbai's population density is almost exceeding the 30,000 people per square kilometer.

"They want another floating island!" Taiping Kingdom's Internet has long been spreading, and this is no secret for Americans who are good at collecting digital intelligence from the Internet and various communication equipment.

"Those damn floating islands!" When I mentioned floating islands, I encountered a concern about Brennan and couldn't help asking, "Now I found out where floating island modules have they ordered in addition to mainland China?"

"I'm sorry! We have no clear news yet." Charlie said regretfully that some Americans are already pursuing this news, but the intensity of the investigation is obviously insufficient.

"This population actually has an army of 10,000 people. Their king is really crazy!" Brennan smiled. "If you drag this on, Taiping Island will collapse first!"

It is normal to draw one for ten Dings. During the war, there are also many three Dings. But now the 30,000 people in Taiping Country still need to remove the elderly, weak, women and children. The rest is basically the second Dings. It is not the most critical time. Generally, countries will never maintain such a military proportion. Not only the chaos that the army is prone to cause, but the remaining military expenditure is only to be borne by the rest. Who can afford it?

However, he quickly restrained his smile. Many people had planned to watch the jokes of Taiping Kingdom, waiting for Taiping Kingdom to be dragged down by the huge military expenditure. But now it seems that Taiping Kingdom is still lively and is still growing and growing, becoming more and more energetic.

"Have you figured out the chain of their money laundering path?" Brennan asked.

The CIA, which is particularly sensitive to money laundering channels, can only track down those real money, but cannot find the origin of the transaction after the real money.

"Not yet. But the unknown funds supporting Taiping Island are getting less and less. Their money will always be used up!" Charlie comforted, "they've also significantly reduced the cost of purchasing weapons in July."

Taiping Kingdom spread its arms orders in May and June, but by July, it did not make any major moves in military ordering, but turned to civilian use, such as passenger aircraft orders and satellite orders.

"Their military power is already quite large!" Brennan had already opened the documents prepared by his assistant, and the military strength of Taiping Kingdom was vividly revealed on the paper.

"Even if their naval numbers are small, they can't control the aircraft carrier, but if the war is urgent, it can be temporarily responded. Even if only take-off and landing helicopters is a huge threat," Brennan commented. "And their modern-class destroyer must also consider its anti-ship threat. After all, we cannot fully understand the transaction between the Russians and Taiping Island, and we cannot simply treat it as a second-hand scrapped warship.

The Germans have delivered them a Salson frigate, so they are now six frigates. Such combat power is a huge threat to the nearby waters.

There are also their seven missile boats, so pay special attention to the four Hongbai-class stealth missile boats from mainland China."

Brennan talked about the surface ships, but did not mention the Firefly-class patrol boats. Such ships that rely on artillery attacks are okay to deal with pirates. When they encounter American ships, they will use missiles to make a slag from afar. Even the surface ships he mentioned do not have any threat to the US fleet, and he cares more about the submarine forces of Taiping Kingdom.

"The Germans and the Russians have each delivered a submarine to Taiping Island. We must find out the details of the Taiping Island submarine!" Brennan was worried that the CIA had not investigated the mysterious submarine in Taiping Kingdom.

He was most worried that this mysterious submarine was made in China. Judging from the extent of being able to easily approach the Japanese fleet less than 5 kilometers, if it was lurking to the US fleet by the Chinese submarine or even directly diving into the US mainland waters, even if it might be a conventional submarine, it would be extremely dangerous.

...

"No wonder, such a hidden attack method can make others unable to guess!" After hearing the truth about the so-called secret submarine, Yang Chang couldn't help but sighed.

As the war ended, the secret about the undersea fortress had been known to the top leaders of Taiping Kingdom. Even Yang Chang, who had just joined Taiping Kingdom for more than a month, gradually understood this killer weapon.

Although he is just a lieutenant colonel staff officer, Yang Xu, as one of the possible candidates for the Chief of Staff of the Taiping State, has the qualifications to know.

Taiping Kingdom expanded its army rapidly, and among the large number of new personnel, not only soldiers, but also some officers who were in urgent need of Taiping Kingdom.

Yang Xu was invited to Taiping Island in mid-June. He had worked in a local military academy before, while serving as the presidency of the Taiping Royal Military Academy, while becoming a military adviser to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang already has several military advisers around him.

In terms of the army, Thunderstone is the most proficient. He is even very familiar with special operations because he once served as an instructor in a special forces unit in the southwest China.

But he has great limitations and does not know much about the Navy and Air Force. So if Li Xiang encounters things about the Air Force, he will ask Lin Feihu. When encountering problems with the Navy, he will ask Cheng Shaoguang, who is also a new acting chief of staff of the Navy. Sometimes, Xue Anshan, a major staff member who is a military fan, often comes up with some wonderful ideas, which will bring Li Xiang a brainstorming baptism.

However, Li Xiang still lacks a military think tank that takes charge of the overall situation, so the position of Chief of Staff has remained vacant until he found Yang Chang, who coached in the military academy.

"This secret will not be hidden for long. If you fight again, it will be exposed soon under strict anti-submarine measures!" Liang Guang, who was next to you, said in a deep voice, "We need to use real submarines to cooperate with these undersea fortresses to exert our maximum combat power."

Currently, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping State army is Li Xiang.

And three people are now calling for the position of Chief of Staff, which is vacant.

One is Lei Shi, who is qualified to be a veteran, but the Lei family behind him is too involved with the local high-level officials in China, which is more fatal than his unskilled sea and air business. Even if Li Xiang rests at ease, Wang Mingyang, Fatty and others do not agree. Once some secrets are leaked from him, they will be fatal to Taiping Kingdom.

The other two candidates, except for Yang Chang from the academy, is Liang Guang from the practical faction.

Liang Guang, who is just 40 years old, also came out of the army, but he is different from Leishi's focus on light infantry combat and special operations. He was born in a mechanical force and then joined the rapid response force and had a thorough understanding of the air force. During the conflict in the South China Sea, he dispatched the naval force for three years and was one of the three-dimensional combat talents that China is focusing on cultivating.

But a storm blew down his backer and his path to advance was cut off. Not to mention that the general was hopeless, he could not even save the colonel as a 21-year-old military service. A charge of corruption and bribery was placed on him. Although he did not find enough evidence in the end, he still took off his military uniform.

Only Li Xiang, who understood his background, knew his innocence and took the opportunity to plunder him. Liang Guang, who was disappointed in some things in China, was actually higher than Lei Shi and Yang Chang in terms of loyalty.

However, Yang Chang and Liang Guang both lacked sufficient merit and qualifications, and the position of Chief of Staff is still vacant. However, there are two more military advisers around Li Xiang.

"It doesn't matter if the secret of the undersea fortress is known. Without the so-called mysterious submarine, it can reduce the threat of our external attacks. It is difficult for the enemy to detect the number of undersea fortresses like us. In this way, the real and real will strengthen our defense ability. I believe that the enemy will not easily cause trouble for us without knowing the real and real of the undersea fortress." Song Shiyan, who had also heard of this secret for the first time, disapproved. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
