Not only was the Cloud Military Academy recruiting students, but Cai Rui's 74th Brigade was also planning to expand and reorganize the 74th Brigade after receiving the 3,000 Army Military Academy students.
As for whether those 3,000 cadets would be able to become the officers of the bottom-level companies, Cai Rui was not worried at all. In his words, actual combat was the best training.
On the other hand, in China, before the outbreak of war, there was no lack of warlords. Cai Rui was confident that he could train an invincible Yunnan army before the war broke out.
The plaque of the Governor's Mansion had been taken down and replaced by the Southern Region National Defense Army Command.
In the command center, Cai Rui saw Li Yun Long, Chu Yun Fei, Wang Ben, Qi Cun, Fang Chen, Zhou Tian Yuan, Lu Tian Han, Thunderous Battle, Miao Lian, and the others gathered.
"From today onwards, the Dian Army will officially be renamed the Southern Region National Defense Army."
"Among them, the establishment of the Southern Region National Defense Guard will be based on the original 74th Brigade of the Dian Army. With 3,000 student soldiers as the backbone, the army will begin to expand!”
"Currently, we plan to expand two armies. Each army will have three combat divisions, and each division will have three combat regiments of three thousand people!”
"In addition, each division will have two heavy-fire artillery regiments and armored regiments under the direct command of the division headquarters, as well as a guard battalion, a baggage battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, and a communication battalion for the division headquarters to mobilize!”
When Cai Rui said this, everyone was in an uproar.
This meant that Cai Rui had directly abolished the regimental combat unit system and formed a three-in-one wartime command system of the army, division, and regiment.
What shocked them even more was Cai Rui's organization. Not counting the artillery regiment and armored regiment, just the number of soldiers in a division was 9,000, and an army was 30,000.
In other words, Cai Rui wanted to directly expand the Dian Army to 60,000 people, and it would be two armies equipped with super firepower.
No one interrupted Cai Rui's words. What made them pay more attention was Cai Rui's upcoming military appointment.
"Among them, I will be the commander-in-chief and the commander of the First Army!”
After he finished speaking, Cai Rui looked at the generals present with anticipation in everyone's eyes. The generals also looked at Cai Rui with burning gazes.
As expected, Cai Rui would be announcing the candidate for the commander of the Second Army next.
In the end, Cai Rui's gaze landed on Li Yunlong, which surprised Wang Ben and the others.
"Li Yun Long, step forward!"
"Your humble servant is here!"
"I appoint you as the commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Division of the Dian Army! Your division has 5 regiments under your command, namely the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and the heavy artillery regiment, armored regiment, and battalions under the 1st Division.”
"Among them, the regiment commanders will be personally appointed by you. After the training is completed, report to me!”
"From today onwards, the required weapons and ammunition will be replenished within a month. In two months, I hope to see a full 1st Division!”
"This humble servant will obey the young marshal's orders!"
Li Yunlong replied loudly with a faint pride in his voice. Everyone looked at Li Yunlong enviously because they knew that although Li Yunlong was a division commander, he was no different from the acting commander of the First Army.
Cai Rui couldn't be present at the front line every time the real battle started. This was why Li Yunlong was so important as the commander of a division.
After Li Longyun finished his appointment, Cai Rui looked at Inch Strange.
"Cunqi, step forward. I appoint you as the commander of the 2nd Division of the 1st Division of the Dian Army. You will be in charge of the 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments, as well as the heavy artillery regiment, armored regiment, and guard battalion directly under the division headquarters!”
"Fang Chen, step forward. I appoint you as the commander of the 3rd Division of the 1st Division of the Dian Army. You will be in charge of the 7th, 8th, and 9th Regiment, as well as the Heavy Artillery Regiment and Armored Regiment of the Division!”
In one breath, Cai Rui finished appointing the remaining two division commanders of the First Army.
However, Cai Rui noticed Fang Chen's hesitant expression. He immediately understood what Fang Chen was worried about.
"Fang Chen, remember one thing. Everyone will grow up. I believe that you won't disappoint me!”
After encouraging him, Cai Rui looked at the remaining people.
"Chu Yunfei, listen up. I appoint you as the commander of the 2nd Division of the Dian Army. You will be in charge of the 4th, 5th, and 6th divisions!”
"Among them, the 4th division's commander is Wang Jiaben, the 5th division's commander is Zhou Yuan, and the 6th division's commander is Lu Han. The commanders of the divisions will be appointed by you and reported to me!”
"However, there's one thing that I must say first. If the regiment commander who reported to me was a good-for-nothing during the war, then he doesn't need to be a division commander anymore.”
"I don't want cowards in my army. Personally, I suggest that the military should prioritize the high-quality cadets and the company level backbone of the 74th regiment!”
Cai Rui didn't forget to warn the remaining people. He didn't want his army to start decaying before it was even formed.
"We will obey!"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They naturally understood what Cai Rui meant.
"Since that's the case, you can go down and form a conscription team!”
Cai Rui waved his hand to signal for the people who had already been assigned to leave. He then looked at the remaining people, including Thunderous Battle, Zhuang Yan, Miao Lian, and the high school team.
"Gao Tianye, listen up. I order you to assist Thunderous Battle in building the Thunder God Special Forces. The required special forces members will be selected from more than 3,000 military students.”
"Thunderous Battle, Gao Tianye, as you command!"
After arranging the formation of the Thunder God Special Forces, Cai Rui looked at Xiao Zhuang, Deng Zhenhua (paratrooper), and Shi Dafan (medic) of the Wolf Fang Special Forces.
"Zhuang Yan, I now appoint you as the captain of the Wolf Fang Special Forces. You will also select members from the military students and recruits to complete the establishment of the Wolf Fang Special Forces!”
"Yes, Zhuang Yan!"
In the end, Cai Rui looked at Miao Lian.
"Miao Lian, from today onwards, you will be in charge of establishing a special intelligence agency that will listen to me-Dragon Tooth."
" Dragon Tooth's responsibility: Obtain information from the outside and monitor the Dian Army internally. If you need to carry out assassinations, interception, and other operations, I will allow you to have the authority to mobilize the Thunder God Special Forces and the Wolf Fang Special Forces without reporting to me!”
