    The S-level command is a national-level authority. In addition to military appointments, the Government Affairs Council has also set up a shelf.  Yang Du served as the president of the Government Affairs Council, coordinating the management of the affairs of the four southwest provinces. Tao Chengzhang of the Liberation Association took refuge in Chen Hao and took over Yang Du's position in Cam Ranh Bay.  Some members of the Guangfuhui and other revolutionaries surrendered one after another because of the persuasion of Qiu Jin and others, and they formed Chen Hao's current team.

    After Chen Hao became the governor of the Southwest, trainees who graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School came to join him one after another, and he had the conditions to expand the army.  Nowadays, the size of the arsenal in Zhenyuan Prefecture, Guizhou has increased four times. In addition to equipping the army, the weapons produced are also sold in large quantities to players.  The Cam Ranh Bay Arsenal is larger, but has begun to transform, focusing on the production of large-caliber howitzers, mountain cannons, mortars, heavy machine guns and other weapons.

    Vietnam¡¯s Thanh Hoa De steelmaking plant has not only expanded its production, its annual steel production has reached 500,000 tons, which can fully meet the needs of shipyards.  Now Chen Hao needs men and guns under his command, but the size of the army is far from enough in his opinion.  The only regular NPCs under his command are the former Cam Ranh Bay First Division, the two mountain divisions in Guizhou and the newly built Polu Army. The four divisions are only enough to defend the current base area.

    After Chen Hao established the S-level headquarters, he immediately issued an order to expand the army, requiring the Army Ministry to reorganize five army divisions within one year.  This time Yang Du did not oppose the expansion of the army. The shipyards and arsenals brought in a lot of profits, and the finances were very healthy.  After taking control of the four southwest provinces and establishing a headquarters, he immediately started collecting taxes. The taxes from the four provinces could support five divisions without any problem.

    The troops in the four southwestern provinces, including Cam Ranh Bay, will be unified and reorganized. Among them, the First Division of Cam Ranh Bay will be changed to the Southwest Garrison Division, responsible for garrisoning Sichuan; the names of the Second Division and the Third Division of Guizhou will remain unchanged, with Xu Xueqiu and Xu Xilin serving respectively.  Army Commander; the newly formed Polu Army was changed to the Fourth Division.  Jiang Baili also serves as the division commander, responsible for dealing with the rebellious Long Fei in western Sichuan and northern Yunnan.

    The Cam Ranh Bay Garrison was upgraded to a Garrison Division, with Zhang Yi, a former instructor at the Kaiping Military Academy, as the division commander; in addition, three of the four newly formed divisions will recruit Sichuan NPCs. During the Anti-Japanese War, there was a saying that "no army can be formed without Sichuan"  , the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army is obvious to all.  It is impossible for Chen Hao not to take advantage of this geographical advantage.

    The final seventh division, Chen Hao, was handed over to Bai Chongxi, and the young Bai Chongxi was asked to form a Gui division to garrison Guangxi.  The Gui Army's combat effectiveness is also not weak. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was second only to the Central Army, and the main difference was in equipment.  Historically, Bai Chongxi created the Seventh Army in addition to his direct lineage. I believe he will not disappoint with his commander-in-chief attributes.

    Sichuan recruited three divisions: the 4th, 5th and 6th. The commander of the 4th Division, Sun Chuanfang, has a commander attribute of 88 points.  Sun Chuanfang is a little worse than Jiang Baili and others in terms of commander-in-chief, but his political attributes are good.  So Chen Hao gave him great autonomy.  The Fourth Division is stationed in western Sichuan. After three months of recruitment and training, Sun Chuanfang will accept the command of Jiang Baili to attack Longfei.

    The S-level command headquarters comes with a recruitment hall building. The property of this building is that 1-2 well-known NPCs will apply for it every month.  Chen Hao was very lucky. On the third day, an NPC came to the recruitment hall. This NPC was named Yang Sen.  In history, Yang Sen was the chairman of Guizhou Province and a second-level general of the National Revolutionary Army, with a commanding attribute of up to 90 points.

    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a good thing or a bad thing that Yang Sen came to vote for Chen Hao.  Because Yang Sen's political attribute page is as high as 83 points, he is a difficult character to control.  Historically, Yang Sen defected to the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army and Wu Peifu of Beiyang.  But he never seems to be loyal to anyone and is always using others to develop.

    The fact that an NPC like Yang Sen came to invest has a lot to do with Chen Hao's current status.  Playing this strategy game is like a snowball. The higher the status of the players in the game, the more powerful NPCs will come to seek refuge.  Yang Sen came to invest because he liked his reputation as the governor of Sichuan and wanted to get ahead under him.  Use his status to develop.

    Since Yang Sen does not sincerely surrender and cannot be truly loyal to Chen Hao, Chen Hao's imperial mind skills cannot be used.  If he reuses Yang Sen, Yang Sen is likely to be like Jia Xu of the Three Kingdoms, who will only plan for himself; if Yang Sen is not used.  He felt it was a pity, after all, Yang Sen's basic attributes were coveted.

    Chen Hao finally appointed Yang Sen as the commander of the Fifth Division. This was definitely an unusual appointment. Yang Sen looked very grateful.  However, Chen Hao would not be paralyzed by him. All the officers assigned to the Fifth Division were loyal to him. As the division commander, Yang Sen could command these people to fight, but if he had the wrong intention, he would not be able to take away any of his soldiers.

    The commander of the Sixth Division is Xiong Kewu, who was once an important figure in the Shu military government and was reused by Chen Hao.  Xiong Kewu's commander attribute is 80 points, making him more qualified for the position of division commander than Xu Xilin and Xu Xueqiu. It would be a pity not to use him.  Although Xiong Kewu is a member of the alliance, he is from the Huang Xing faction. His nine-member group has many conflicts with the industrial group supported by Sun Yat-sen.  At that time, Xiong Kewu had transformed into a soldier.??, but now he is still alive as a passionate young man who is determined to do his part for the revolution.

    Chen Hao didn't like Huang Xing, so he was very cautious when appointing Xiong Kewu, for fear that Huang Xing would summon Xiong Kewu and make another revolution.  The team of the Sixth Division is the same as that of the Fifth Division. All officers are deployed to be loyal to Chen Hao's confidants, making Xiong Kewu unable to make any waves.  Huang Xing will definitely let Xiong Kewu cause trouble. If Xiong Kewu fails to recruit a group of troops, he will definitely continue to work in the Sixth Division.  In this way, he always held on to his fantasy, but had to work hard for Chen Hao.

    There is another reason why Chen Hao attaches great importance to Xiong Kewu. A real famous general will appear under Xiong Kewu, one of the three and a half generals commented by the Japanese.  This famous general is still just a small division chief. He has sent people to inquire many times but there is no news, but he believes that the system will allow this famous general to appear under Xiong Kewu.

    After Chen Hao¡¯s reorganization plan is completed, he will have nine NPC reorganization divisions under his command, two of which are security divisions.  The players who are still serving in Cam Ranh Bay will be reorganized into the first and second divisions of players, all of which will be equipped with new equipment.  These players who have been working under him loyally will not be treated badly by anyone. He has started to pay the players military salary every month, which is the only one in the game at this time.

    Each force in the game recruits a large number of player soldiers. At this time, because the cost of player soldiers is low, there is no need to issue military pay to support them.  After a solo player reaches level 40 or above, it is no longer feasible to level up alone and has to rely on large forces for development.  Chen Hao spends hundreds of thousands of silver dollars every month to provide military pay to players. He is also giving rewards to all players because he is preparing to recruit a large number of player troops.

    Before the fall of Yuan Shikai, Chen Hao had no possibility of ruling the world for the time being. It was impossible for him to do nothing in the past few years.  After Yuan Shikai appointed him as Minister of Navy and Governor of the Southwest, he quickly appointed Li Yuanhong as Minister of War, and he was ready to take advantage of this to make a fuss.  Although Li Yuanhong's Army Minister cannot command NPC troops, he has great task authority. If he asks Li Yuanhong to help issue tasks to recruit players to go to North Korea to deal with Japan and Russia, it is not impossible to drive Japan out of North Korea.

    Chen Hao planned to help Russia defeat Japan before the outbreak of World War I. Now the naval strength of Cam Ranh Bay exceeds that of the Japanese navy. Together with Russia and Japan, they are definitely no match.  He holds the position of Minister of the Navy and can issue missions to recruit players' warships to join the war, allowing Yuan Shikai's government to pay mission rewards.  Nowadays, China has no fewer player warships than Japanese players. With the player fleet to contain Japanese players, he is 100% sure to defeat the Japanese navy.

    The Russians were betrayed once by Chen Hao. They will definitely be very careful when cooperating again this time and must show sincerity.  In a decisive battle at sea, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet might be the main force. Chen Hao was mentally prepared for this.  As long as it can destroy the Japanese navy and affect the overall plot of Japan, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet can accept some losses.

    The Cam Ranh Bay fleet now has two super dreadnoughts, five dreadnoughts, twelve invincible-class battlecruisers, and a large number of small ships.  This kind of naval strength not only surpasses Japan, but even surpasses the United States and France, becoming the third largest navy after Britain and Germany.

    Chen Hao holds the position of Minister of the Navy, and he has the Navy firmly in his hands.  If you add in the Chinese Navy and the Vietnamese Navy commanded by Sa Zhenbing, the number and tonnage of naval ships even exceeds that of the British.  However, the British navy's combat quality is higher than that of the navy under his command. If a naval battle occurs, it will probably not be able to defeat it.

    Of course Chen Hao will not provoke the British with a hot head. He will only dominate Asia and the Japanese Navy has always been his goal.  Chen Hao did not expand for a year. He concentrated on purging and controlling the four southwestern provinces. Almost all player bases that might threaten his position within the four provinces were wiped out, and the rest were small bases.

    Chen Hao only dared to do this because he had an S-level headquarters. He did not allow large player forces to appear on his territory. NPCs were completely responsible for managing the place.  When he started to wipe out forces like Jin Ma Chao, countless people on the forum questioned him for being too domineering, not only controlling four provinces by himself, but also not giving other players any way out.

    Chen Hao simply issued a statement, saying that he would not target innocent ordinary players, but would only deal with forces with evil intentions.  There is really no need to deal with the small forces that choose to develop in the four provinces. Give them favors and invite them to fight together once war breaks out in other regions.  But forces like Jin Ma Chao are different. They are rich and powerful, and if they are allowed to develop, they may have serious consequences.

    Long Fei was a thorn in Chen Hao¡¯s side and flesh. In order to expel Long Fei from the country, Jiang Baili commanded four divisions to launch thirty-six battles, large and small.  Except for the First Division, these four divisions, the 4th, 5th and 6th divisions are all newly formed and inevitably suffer a large number of casualties, but after the test of blood and fire, the average combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.  (To be continued)
