My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 88: Militia
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
There are gunboats cruising faintly in the blue bay.
On this side, there is a high-walled compound, a military camp with swaying green pines and cypresses, and a long three-story milky-white building, which is the headquarters of the Coast Guard.
At this time, Lu Ming was standing outside the commander's office, a little confused.
The bailiff enforced the temporary injunction in the waters of Pearl Island, but there were no ships, so they could only request the coast guard for assistance.
It was just a small matter at first, but somehow it alerted the commander of the Coast Guard, Sir Wenger, to see him.
Looked aside suspiciously.
The bailiff Liu Yifu on the side also spread his hands, which meant that I didn’t know what was going on.
The bailiff is the officer who executes the bailiff and is responsible for communicating with the Coast Guard.
But speaking of it, because the empire's current ocean exploration has stopped, the navy is basically useless, and it can only fight against pirates and rescue civilian ships that have not appeared in ten or eight years.
So, it stands to reason that the current technological level should be the level of World War II and the end of World War II, but the empire has very few armed ships on the sea, and the largest ones are thousand-ton frigates.
The Coast Guard in the East China Sea is even more so. I heard that there are two small gunboats of 100 tons.
However, there is still a naval headquarters, Sir Wenger, whose title seems to be an earl passed down from his ancestors, and his military rank is major general.
Speaking of which, the National Security Forces and the Coast Guard in the East China Sea are local armed forces adapted from militia organizations.
The central government usually has no leadership over these local armed forces. Only in a state of emergency war will the central government automatically gain command of the local armed forces.
It is very similar to the reserve system of a large Western country in its previous life.
Not only the East China Sea, but also all major regions, provinces, and states have this kind of local armed forces. They are one of the most important armed forces in the empire.
On the contrary, the royal forces directly led by the empire have been at peace for too long, and the parliament will propose bills to reduce them. The number has been reduced to 7788, with only a few elite armies stationed near the imperial capital. The number of soldiers The outside world is unknown.
Local security and police forces generally have a reserve system. The upper-level officers and some soldiers are professional soldiers, while the lower-level officers and most soldiers are part-time. They train one day a week and another two weeks every year. During the training period , subsidies are paid on a daily basis, and in the event of emergency recruitment, wages are also paid on a daily basis.
In short, financially speaking, try not to raise as many lower-level soldiers as possible.
It has the same idea as the Western power that Lu Ming understood in his previous life.
Local armed forces have different equipment and weapons depending on their economic strength. The equipment of the police force in the Donghai Metropolitan Area is obviously better than that of neighboring provinces.
No matter how powerful the East China Sea's economic power is, the Coast Guard, which has no great purpose, is still very shabby. A few small gunboats are already the best ships.
However, the total number of professional officers and professional soldiers in the Coast Guard is about two to three hundred, because the operation of gunboats requires a certain amount of professionalism.
As for the entire East China Sea National Security Army, there are only five to six hundred professional officers and soldiers.
Speaking of which, wars often break out in the four northern provinces. Although most of the important weapons rely on the southern kingdom, the combat effectiveness and fierce energy of the soldiers are probably not comparable to those of the militias in the areas ruled by the Kingdom of Grifenni. Of course, in reality, if a war breaks out, people will no longer be human on the battlefield and will immediately become cruel and cold-blooded.
Lu Ming was just thinking wildly when the door of the office was gently opened by an extremely plump female officer from the inside. Under the skirt of the dark blue officer uniform, she had thick white legs that were like the legs of an elephant. Judging from the military rank, she was a major.
The soldier leading Lu Ming and the others immediately saluted.
The female officer smiled slightly at Lu Ming and the others: "Lawyer Lu, Chief Liu, please come in!"
The office is very spacious and luxurious. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows as the background are integrated from east to west, which looks very grand and makes the office look spacious and bright.
However, there was no one else in the office.
The female officer made a gesture and led the two of them to sit down at the coffee table in the tea area. She smiled slightly: "Lawyer Lu, Chief Liu, my name is Mary. The commander assigned me to cooperate with the judicial police to carry out this mission. Oh, this is my ID."
On the officer's certificate, Mary's position is senior staff officer of the East China Sea Coast Guard Command.
Lu Ming nodded lightly. To be honest, this Mary is quite beautiful. Her long red hair makes her look extremely sexy. However, she is too plump, with plump **** and elephant legs, which is not in line with the aesthetics of the Central Asian people. In my previous life, I remember that NBA stars liked this, but ordinary people couldn't hold it.
"Lawyer Lu, are you familiar with the situation there? That's why I invited you here. I saw that the bailiff document requesting our assistance requested the dispatch of two speedboats. I'm not questioning it, but as a soldier, I , I must have thought more about it. Are two speedboats really enough to handle this incident? Can they ensure the safety of our soldiers?" Mary looked at Lu Ming, her big eyes blinking, as if she meant something.
Lu Ming was slightly startled, thought about it for a moment, and then nodded vaguely and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough, because fishermen fights often occur nearby, and dozens of boats from both sides collide with each other. I think, let alone two speedboats, it's best , if there are gunboats or anything like that, go there, that will be a deterrent.”
Liu Yifu next to him was dumbfounded and thought to himself: What are you talking about?
Lu Ming added: "Moreover, it is best for the gunboat to patrol there for a long time. After all, it is a prohibition on island property. The fish there are all the property of my client!"
Mary giggled and said, "Right, in order to be responsible for the lives of our soldiers and to cooperate with the local court in enforcing the ban, we will definitely send the most elite force."
Lu Ming knew in his heart that not only the East China Sea, but also the coast guards in various places were having a hard time. Financial allocations must have been cut frequently. It was hard to do something, so why not hurry up and increase your presence?
Moreover, since both large and small boats are out, the related consumption and maintenance costs are naturally a big budget, and you can also take advantage of the opportunity to make money.
I just don’t know whether this is Mary’s own intention or the commander Sir Winger’s intention.
"Okay, I understand now. Thank you, Lawyer Lu, for explaining it to me. Chief Liu, I'm sorry to bother you too!" Mary giggled and glanced at the coffee cups in their hands.
Liu Yifu hurriedly drank it up and stood up to leave. Lu Ming didn't drink, and put most of the coffee cup on the coffee table.
Seeing this scene, Mary glanced at Lu Ming a few more times with her big eyes.
……
In the evening, I had already returned home, but I received a call from Wang Xiaohu, saying that Brother Zili and the Fifth Master must come to thank Brother Lu.
Lu Ming returned to Wendebao 408.
Wang Wushu's face was full of excitement, and Wang Zili was equally excited. He held Lu Ming's hand hard and looked like he was about to shed tears of joy.
Listen to Wang Xiaohu talking excitedly about the Coast Guard's gunboats, which were extremely ruthless in driving away the Japanese fishing boats. They fired directly at those fishing boats, frightening the Japanese fishing boats, and the birds and beasts immediately dispersed.
"Lawyer Lu, if your ancestors have spirits, they will also be grateful to you!" Uncle Wang patted Lu Ming's hand with his dry bark-like hands, tears filling his eyes.
"Lawyer Lu, when you have time these days, you must go to Wang's Store. I'm waiting to thank you!" Wang Zili said, suddenly wiping away tears, "If my grandfather could see today, he should have How good? ”
"Yes, yes!" Uncle Wang sighed and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
Lu Ming felt strangely embarrassed and looked at Wang Xiaohu. Wang Xiaohu grinned, and his eyes were red.
