Chapter 1884 Major Disarmament
Currently, all 60 members of the Space Force are on leave.
The National Defense Force, once hailed as the pinnacle of the Great Yan Empire, has now been gradually disbanded.
By the time Allen returned home, the National Defense Army had only 40 men left.
Moreover, these 40 people are the elite of the elite.
There are many excellent soldiers who are forced to retire due to their physical condition.
In the past, even if they had minor physical ailments, they could still survive thanks to their outstanding military skills.
But it's different now.
The military allocated more military funds to the Space Force.
Furthermore, overall military spending is still decreasing.
This means that the military budget for the National Defense Forces and the Army has been reduced again and again.
Faced with this predicament, the National Defense Force had no choice but to mothball some of its weapons and equipment.
At the same time, the number of employees will be reduced.
The army that once numbered a million has now shrunk to 40.
Moreover, this number continues to decrease.
It is projected that the number of layoffs will be reduced to 30 in three years.
At the same time, Lyon did not disband the various hero units.
The army that had made outstanding contributions was preserved by Lyon.
For example, the four armored divisions under the First Armored Army Group.
These four armored divisions are all top-tier, formidable forces.
However, with the reduction of the armed forces, these four armored divisions now face the risk of being disbanded.
The military originally planned to keep only the First Armored Division as a show of force.
But Leon stopped him.
Lyon did not choose to disband three of the armored divisions.
Instead, all four armored divisions were downgraded to brigade-level units.
The armored division was converted into a combined arms brigade.
At the same time, the designation of the First Armored Army Group was retained.
Now, all four armored divisions under the First Armored Army have been converted into combined arms brigades.
Moreover, the First Key Group consists of only these four core points, all of which are heavy combined arms brigades.
Compared to the previous armored divisions, there were fewer personnel and fewer weapons and equipment.
However, compared to before, the weapons and equipment are more advanced and more systematic.
Because the Great Yan Dynasty has been putting a lot of effort into manufacturing weapons in recent years.
Besides the First Armored Army, many armored units, and even infantry units, have a wide variety of weapons and equipment.
One armored army group might be using AK-74s, while another infantry army group might be using AK-47s.
In his previous life, as a child raised under the red flag, he had only seen the blueprints and had never actually handled these weapons.
This meant that Lyon could only produce a portion of the weapons worldwide and distribute them to the soldiers to see their feedback.
But the problem is that there are 1000 Hamlets for every 1000 readers.
Whether a weapon is good or not is entirely up to the soldiers, but soldiers also have individual differences.
For example, some people think the AK is better, while others think the M4 is better.
You can't expect an AK fanatic to support an M4.
Moreover, the Great Yan is a super-large country.
When these army groups were initially formed, recruitment was basically completed in a certain region.
Apart from the First Armored Army Group.
The entire Second Armored Army was composed of people from the Holy Empire's Violet Duchy.
The people there are known for their fierce and tough nature; once they get their hands on an AK-47, they become completely enamored with it.
Later, the National Defense Forces attempted to replace their equipment with AK-74s on a large scale, but the Second Armored Corps refused to do so no matter what.
Therefore, Kedi specifically sought out the commander of the Second Armored Army to discuss this matter.
But the commander of the Second Armored Army still refused.
It's no use what Cadis says, those Violet people just love using AK47s!
Each combined arms brigade has approximately 6000 personnel.
Although the First Armored Army still retains its designation, its overall personnel have been drastically reduced.
The number of people has decreased from 20 to 28000.
But this is already the best possible outcome.
Because the First Armored Army and its four hero units all retained their unit designations.
It's just that it was downgraded from the division level to the brigade level.
At the same time, the situation of the entire national defense force has also changed.
Divisions were reorganized into brigades, brigades into regiments, regiments into battalions, and so on down the chain.
They successfully reduced the army from a million to its current size of 40.
The units of the First Armored Army have been nerfed quite severely.
The reduction of the First Infantry Army was relatively slow.
Because infantry can be deployed to other areas to carry out security tasks.
Therefore, the military's reduction of infantry was relatively slow.
These discharged soldiers received a generous compensation.
At the same time, a job that would ensure a worry-free life for the rest of my days was arranged.
These veterans gladly accepted the government's arrangements.
However, many veterans have found that they can no longer adapt to this society.
They were horrified to discover that 10 years later, the social environment had changed drastically.
In Lyongrad, they can no longer see those old houses.
They also couldn't find the houses they built with the leaders of Lyon during the Winter of Divine Punishment.
The veterans were somewhat saddened.
They weren't sad.
It's not because their past efforts have been gradually forgotten...
Many veterans returned home.
They discovered that their family members were looking at them like strangers.
Many veterans couldn't accept the look in their families' eyes.
They could only huddle alone in their rooms, repeatedly pondering the medals they had brought back.
Perhaps only these medals can soothe their souls...
