After the Qin Infantry Division was formally reorganized last year, it adopted the typical 3 - 3 system. The standard Infantry Division had 3 Infantry Regiments and a number of divisions directly under it.

The division headquarters had a total of 100 officers, staff officers, and support personnel. They were equipped with 100 self-defense weapons such as the Type 1925 semi-automatic pistol and the Type 1926 semi-automatic pistol.

An engineering battalion used for clearing mines and clearing obstacles had a total of 650 officers and soldiers. It was equipped with 18 Type 1918 12.7mm heavy machine guns, Type 1918 light machine guns, 516 bolt-action rifles, and 118 pistols.

The division's reconnaissance team had 147 officers and soldiers, equipped with 6 light and heavy machine guns, 35 submachine guns, 32 rifles, and 150 self-defense weapons.

The signal battalion had 261 officers and soldiers, equipped with 261 self-defense weapons.

The military police company had 130 officers and soldiers, equipped with 130 rifles and pistols.

There were 320 officers and soldiers in the logistics supply camp, equipped with 312 self-defense pistols and rifles.

There was also a medical battalion of 520 people.

There were also 125 tanks and armored vehicles, as well as 1560 transport vehicles.

A standard infantry division also had a powerful artillery unit of 2800 people, including three 105mm howitzer battalions equipped with 36 105mm howitzers, one 155mm large-caliber howitzer battalion equipped with 12 155mm howitzers, one anti-tank artillery battalion equipped with 37mm and 75mm anti-tank cannons, and one air defense battalion equipped with 60 anti-aircraft machine guns. The officers and soldiers were also equipped with 2600 self-defense weapons.

The three infantry regiments had about 11000 officers and soldiers. Each regiment was equipped with 6 105mm howitzers and 12 57mm anti-tank guns. They also had three infantry battalions. Each battalion was equipped with 3 57mm anti-tank guns, 25 7.62mm machine guns, 12 12.7mm heavy machine guns, 6 80mm mortars, 9 60mm mortars, 4 120mm heavy mortars, 550 rifles, and 27 sniper rifles.

The standard Qin infantry division had about 15000 soldiers. They had a complete command system and logistics supply system in the war. They could independently carry out various combat missions and had extremely powerful firepower.

Chang Kaishen was dumbfounded by the weapon configuration. He sucked in a breath of cold air and swallowed his saliva.

Money, it's all money, a super infantry division built with money!

Even though he was so tempted that he wanted to scream, Chang Kaishen forcefully suppressed it. He knew very well that this kind of fully armed infantry division was not something that could be raised by planting flowers.

Not to mention the weapon configuration, how much fuel would each division need to have more than a hundred tanks and more than a thousand military vehicles?

What about ammunition consumption?

What about weapon maintenance?

Such a luxurious infantry division, probably only Qin Zhen could afford it.

In truth, Qin Zhen could not afford to raise them either. Reforming ten fully mechanized infantry divisions was already Great Qin's limit.

It was impossible to expand to 30 to 50 soldiers. One of the reasons was that Great Qin's finances could not afford to do so. Great Qin's population was too small, and the three armed forces were recruiting as many youths as they could to join the army. They had 700,000 soldiers, including 400,000 soldiers in the Navy, 100,000 soldiers in the Air Force, and 200,000 soldiers in the Army.

"Your Majesty, I can't refer to it!"

Chang Kaishen was not afraid of losing face and said directly,"If the national army is reorganized according to the Qin infantry division, even if there are only ten divisions, the Jinling government won't be able to afford it.”

He understood.

Qin Zhen understood Chang Kaishen's difficulties.

Even the western countries could not afford to raise the Mechanized Infantry Division of the Great Qin Imperial Army, let alone plant flowers.

"Chairman, what I said was a reference, not a one-to-one copy.”

"How about this, the national army will temporarily reorganize 30 divisions according to the three-three system. One division will be under the jurisdiction of three infantry regiments, one regiment will be under the jurisdiction of three infantry battalions, one infantry battalion will be under the jurisdiction of three infantry companies, one infantry company will be under the jurisdiction of three infantry platoons, and one infantry platoon will be under the jurisdiction of three combat squads!”

"A squad of twelve people, equipped with nine rifles, one submachine gun, and one light machine gun.”

"Each platoon will have a firepower squad with 3 light machine guns and 1 heavy machine gun.”

"The infantry battalion has a mortar company, eight 60mm mortars, six 80mm mortars, four 120mm heavy mortars, and four 57mm anti-tank guns.”

"The regimental level will have an artillery battalion, 12 75mm infantry cannons, 10 105mm howitzers, and 10 120mm heavy mortars.”

"Division-level reinforcement artillery battalion, 12 105 howitzers, 10 155 howitzers, 10 122 cannons.”

"This weapon configuration is a little stronger than the Fusang Army. It's enough to meet the needs of the national army.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of Chang Kaishen, Chen Cheng, and the others turned red.

Each squad had a light machine gun and a submachine gun, and the battalion level was equipped with a mortar company. How was it just a little stronger than Fusang? It was a complete suppression of firepower!

However, there was no free lunch in the world. The value of thirty divisions of weapons and equipment was immeasurable. The Milky Way Trading Company would not ask for too much, right?

Thinking of this, Chang Kaishen calmed his restless mood and asked softly,""Your Majesty, what do we have to pay?”

"Give the Milky Way Trading Company the right to free trade!”

Chang Kaishen was speechless.

What did he mean? Shouldn't it be mineral resources?

The accompanying Minister of Finance, Song Ziwen's expression changed. He tilted his head and whispered into Chang Kaishen's ear,""Chairman, we can't agree to this. Once the Galaxy Trading Company obtains the free trade rights of the flowers, huge capital will quickly flow into the flowers and control the economic lifeline.”

Hearing this, Chang Kaishen suddenly woke up.

Just as she wanted to reject Qin Zhen's request, the words were on the tip of her tongue.

Flower-growing was already on the verge of national subjugation. If they did not seize this opportunity to develop the industrial economy and accumulate strength, how could they resist when Fusang finished digesting the northeast and launched an invasion?

After some consideration, Chang Kaishen still chose to agree.

With the Milky Way Trading Company and Great Qin's help, they could industrialize, revitalize the economy, and raise the culture of the people. Once they became powerful, with their population and land, as long as they firmly held onto the military and political power, they would not be afraid of falling out with Great Qin!

Thinking about it from another perspective, the enemy of an enemy was a friend. When Great Qin no longer needed to grow flowers, or when Great Qin and the Milky Way Trading Company threatened Guotang's rule, the western countries would become allies.

Chang Kaishen was very cunning. After thinking for a while, he immediately thought of how to kill the donkey when it was done.

"Your Majesty, I can agree to the free trade rights, but the Milky Way Trading Company must provide 30 divisions of weapons and equipment within five years, and help to plant flowers to build a powerful navy and air force!”

"Alright, I'll pass the message to the Milky Way Trading Company. I believe they'll agree!”
