In Weixing City, Oceana, accompanied by Patel, was inspecting the construction of the factory.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please take a look." Patel pointed to the workers carrying the machines and the engineers directing beside them, and said, "This company was originally engaged in the production of electrical appliances. It has followed the instructions. It is expected to be converted into the production of electrical components for the Lion tank soon."
After a pause, Patel continued, "There are many more modifications like this. It is estimated that we can complete the first one in a month. The first phase of the People's Liberation Army Project."
Osena nodded.
This progress is probably within her expectations.
However, Patel next to him was still hesitant. He thought for a while and asked, "Isn't it a bit of a fuss to transfer so many factories from civilian use to military industry? It's okay here. Originally, most of them were basic heavy industry and military industry. I heard that the changes in Fuxing City are just a matter of fuss." Many consumer goods and civilian factories have turned to military industry, especially those of agricultural machinery and engineering machinery. The production reduction of these items has a great impact. I am really worried that this will slow down the development of the alliance."
Ossena's. His expression didn't change much.
She comforted and said, "Just carry it out with peace of mind. This is the order of the Governor. Moreover, there is no need to worry too much. The production capacity changes of civilian-to-military conversion are not all carried out at one go. The government and the Ministry of Military Affairs work together After consultation, a multi-level mobilization order was set up, which included the plan to convert civilian factories to military use. This was initiated step by step, and they would not all be converted at once."
"War is still the first step. The first priority is to ensure Mr. Survival."
"But aren't Blackbird Heavy Industries thousands of miles away? They have not posed any threat to the alliance all this time. It seems that we don't have to deal with it now. Let's get started. All the constructions of the alliance are in full swing. Will the prosperous scene be interrupted like this?"
Osena turned around and looked at Patel.
Patel also looked at the Prime Minister calmly.
He asked himself that he was loyal, dedicated to the public, and had no selfish motives. What was he afraid of?
Ossenna sighed in her heart.
I am afraid this is not just the idea of Patel himself, but the idea of the entire alliance.
At least most of the residents of the Alliance still love the Alliance and the Governor very much. The governor did not lie about what he promised. As long as he is included in the alliance system and his rank is determined, he will be given corresponding treatment and he will no longer have to live a precarious life.
This alone is enough to make those civilians, who account for the vast majority of the total number of people who have emerged from chaos into peace, wholeheartedly loyal to the Alliance and the Governor.
Not to mention, the league’s rank system, which has been in operation for a year or two, seems to be relatively dynamic, and the opportunities for mobility between the upper and lower classes are relatively large.
Even an alliance is not a utopia. To develop, the alliance must also collect income.Corruption will inevitably occur in the system, but even so, life is much better than in the past.
Under this premise, a small number of people with evil intentions cannot cause any trouble.
However, those who oppose the Alliance's attack on Blackbird Heavy Industries are not necessarily those who harbor resentment.
The general public who support the Governor and have a sense of belonging to the alliance are working hard to build their homes, looking at the beautiful life in the future, and watching that beautiful life being realized and coming to their own step by step. in hand.
In this case, why do you still take the initiative when a war suddenly breaks out?
Of course Oceana herself knows the reason.
It’s okay if I didn’t know before. Now that I know that Blackbird Heavy Industries violated the omnic ban, of course they have to be dealt with. The omnic crisis cannot be allowed to continue to develop. It seems that there is no threat now, and Blackbird Heavy Industries is also staying in the west. But if we don't care about it now, when they start to attack, it is very likely that the scale will expand to the alliance. Unstoppable.
It is true that this reason is difficult to explain directly, but it is not that there are no other ways to avoid it.
Blackbird Heavy Industries is a real threat to the alliance. Ignoring the omnic-related information that is not easy to release to the public, just promote the legitimacy of the war normally and promote Blackbird Heavy Industry as having a serious impact and causing disaster on the good lives of millions of residents in the Alliance.
In fact, the relevant external publicity work was already in progress when the decision was made.
But now it seems that the work is not good enough, even for someone like Patel, who is considered a high-ranking official.
While verbally comforting Patel and asking him to concentrate on his work, Oceana also secretly made a note in her mind.
When she goes back, she will summon people from the Propaganda Department to urge them to work well, and even punish some people with management responsibilities.
Weixing City was only the first stop of Ossena’s inspection work. Later, she took a wind falcon and visited several surrounding industrial bases.
The civilian-to-military conversion work in other areas of the Central Province, North Central Province, and Gaota Province is being carried out in an orderly manner.
The scale is not too big, but it is a preview.
It is not yet time to fully unleash the potential of war. As Patel said, as the prime minister of the alliance, Osena does not want to interrupt the current prosperity of the alliance too much because of a war. development trends.
It’s just that the alliance must have this kind of mobilization ability.
It is currently a Level 2 mobilization order. It should not affect residents’ lives now. The corresponding benefits and subsidies will not be reduced. The corresponding consumer goods market and food industry market will be affected to a certain extent. , but not big, with fewer types.
But when it comes to the next level of level 1 mobilization order, it will be difficult to remain unaffected.
At that time, I am afraid there will be a large-scale conscription; a wartime economy will be started, benefits and subsidies will be cut; civilian factories will be further converted into military factories.
As for the general mobilization order, almost the entire alliance will respond to the war with all its strength. The entire population, all production and life, all revolve around war. Almost most young and middle-aged men, and even a considerable number of women, will be conscripted into the army; the remaining population, from old to young, will do war-related work, and it would be good to have one more bullet to pull out; all non-war The consumption has been compressed to the extreme
Since the establishment of the alliance, this level of general mobilization has not been launched. But Oceana is confident that the system she has built according to the general expectations of the governor can achieve that level and unleash its huge war potential.
This is her proud work, but she would rather this proud work never be used. She knows very well that if the alliance is mobilized to that extent, it will do too much harm to economic development.
Returning to Fuxing City worriedly, she wanted to report the situation to Governor Gu. When we arrived at the door of the conference room, we were stuck at the scheduled time.
The alliance values practicality and does not pay attention to the frivolous. Even if you come to see the governor, you don’t even need to make an appointment when you are not busy; when you are busy, you will agree on the time and do not keep people waiting. come over.
Osenaka pointed to the place, only to learn that the governor was meeting with two generals, Yan Fangxu and Thaddius. The time they made an appointment was before Oceana. Logically speaking, things should have been finished by now, but it may have been delayed because of some accidents or because some issues were not thoroughly discussed or finished.
She waited outside peacefully, but she didn't expect a voice to ring in her mind
"Come in, listen together, and share your opinions."
p>
This is the voice of the Governor.
Osenna quickly put her mind away and moved forward.
The guards outside did not stop him, and they obviously believed him.
Enter the room, two men were arguing about something. The governor sat at the top and did not participate in the discussion, but listened carefully.
Ossenna was not in a hurry to speak. She found a seat and sat at random, listening carefully.
After listening for a while, I probably understood what was going on.
The mobilization of the entire alliance is to prepare for war, and war is, of course, fought by the army.
Currently, the Raging Bear Legion established by the alliance and about to receive the official designation of the Astra Militarum has been mobilized. An army of 140,000 people moved westward from its original gathering place in the central province, crossing a distance of 500 kilometers to the Western Desert.
Also going with us is Army Group Center.
Of course, this Army Group Center is no longer the one that fought in the three eastern provinces before. The original Central Army Group was split into three. One part was established as the Black Arrow Star Army and went to the colonies to guard the colonies; the other part was divided into the Raging Bear Army.
Only the 1st Brigade remained, and together with the newly established 4650th Division, a new CIMC was formed.
Recently, the newly established 39th and 40th garrison divisions of the original Eastern Group Army, as well as the 2125th garrison division of the original Qinggu Group Army, have also been included.
At this point, Army Group Center now has 13 divisions and brigades, totaling 100,000 people.
These two army-level troops have a combined strength of 250,000.
This is the main mobile force that the alliance can mobilize without further mobilization and without affecting the defense of each region.
At the same time, the new military camps across the alliance have recruited approximately 100,000 people in total. They are receiving training and will be added to the frontline troops at any time in accordance with the war process and needs, ensuring that the two western armies have sufficient personnel at all times.
These new recruits were brought by the mobilization order, and Oceana also knew about this. Although recruitment is not under her control and is the work of the recruitment office under the Military and Administrative Department of Thaddeus, after all, it requires relatively close cooperation with the local government.
Under the second-level mobilization order, the number of reserve troops will continue to increase subsequently. The military manpower pool is estimated to be 5% of the total population, which means 1.25 million people. In addition to the more than 400,000 people already serving and the 100,000 in the recruit camps, there is still room for recruitment of about 700,000 people.
If that’s not enough, a first-level mobilization order may be required, which will increase the total mobilization population to 10.
And if it is not enough, to the point of the alliance's general mobilization order, the maximum population can be raised to 20, but that is an exaggeration.
For the 250,000-strong legion gathered in the west, the strategic target in the first phase is the Western Desert region. It does not occupy the entire vast Western Desert. It is too big. If more than 200,000 people spread it, it would just water the desert, which is meaningless.
The main goal is to control the oasis to the east of the Western Desert region, which has a lot of contact with the alliance, and especially to control the main road from the Western Desert to the west of the mainland.
This main road should be a relic from the pre-war era, and it should have been a solid paved road. However, due to environmental changes, war, and the collapse of the unified government, this main road is in particularly poor condition due to lack of maintenance. Relying solely on business travel and self-maintenance of oases along the way, it can barely maintain traffic.
The most important thing is that if you don’t go from here, there is no other way.
Although various heavy equipment and vehicles have excellent off-road capabilities, it is still too exaggerated to travel 10,000 kilometers into the wilderness and go on an expedition to the west. This barely usable road not only had to be occupied, but engineers also had to be dispatched to further repair it.
At present, the troops are not far from the Western Desert.
The point of contention between Yan Fangxu, the major general commander, and Thadius, the military and political manager, was how to deal with the many oasis forces in the Western Desert.
There is no unified political power in the Western Desert. Each oases and the planting factories below are like independent city-states. It has its own political system and its own armed forces.
From a military point of view, Yan Fangxu did not want to conquer purely through force. This would place a great burden on the troops and make it difficult to push the front to the central area of the Western Desert within one and a half months. The task of establishing the main line of defense. His troops will spend a lot of time and energy on eliminating those resistance forces.
He hopes that through diplomatic means, he can just keep the oases to the east from causing trouble.
Thaddeus is worried that the conditions of the planting factories under the oasis are not sure at all. If there are too many third-party forces with their own armed forces left along the long supply line, it will be a very dangerous thing.
Both of them have a point.
Of course, it would not be too violent to call it a quarrel. We are not fools. Everyone knows that the other party's worries are justified, and they are constantly discussing some solutions.
From the strength of diplomatic means, to the handling methods of the local armed forces, to which strongholds along the way must be taken down for safety, and which ones can be left alone, to how to arrange the deployment of troops, Suppression
Osena listened and took note of many things.
She also knew the reason why the Governor asked her to come and listen together.
The Alliance Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a relatively independent agency outside the government. It has not received much attention. After all, there are not many places that require diplomacy.
On the contrary, the Alliance Ministry of Commerce under Oceana is more effective in this regard.
She slowly joined the discussion, mainly on the political attitudes of those oases, their relationship with the alliance, and how to get started.
During the discussion, the plan gradually took shape.
During the process, Gu Hang rarely spoke, only making final decisions on some unresolved issues.
