After the flag presentation ceremony, there was one final link - the award ceremony.

The main objects of this award ceremony are all recruits. After more than half a year of arduous training, they passed this trial of suppressing bandits, proving their courage and determination and becoming a true warrior.

Recruits are organized on a company-by-company basis, and the company commander of each company personally confers the rank of private on all recruits in his company.

The greatest wish of the recruits has always been to get out of the status of recruits as soon as possible and become a real soldier. Therefore, when the army commander Bai Mu announced the start of the award ceremony, many people were stunned, and then ecstatic.

The sense of honor in this army has been initially established, so this identity recognition and upgrading is of great significance to these recruits.

Each recruit who was called out would answer in the loudest voice of his own, and then walk up to the company commander with a standard step, salute, and then be hand-worn by the company commander to wear a collar badge representing the status of a private.

Although the ceremony was held at the same time, it took a lot of time.

This kind of award ceremony is sacred and exciting for the recruits and for the new army. But it was boring for the ministers who came to watch the ceremony.

Aside from a few who were thoughtful about the excitement displayed by the soldiers, most seemed a little bored.

But looking at the figure that had been standing straight at the front, even if they didn't want to, they had to endure it.

The autumn wind was already very cool, gusts of wind blew from time to time, the robes of the officials, the flags of the First Army were crackling in the wind, and some of the old and frail officials were a little unable to support it, and began to cough and tremble, but no one dared to speak.

Finally, the award ceremony of all companies has ended, and the soldiers who have been replaced with the new rank and collar badges are not tired at all, but even more vigorous.

Jiang Chuan's eyes fell on the red flag fluttering in the center of the school field, and he was also excited for a while.

The goal of creating a new type of army with pure firearms on its own has taken a solid step. If you take this step well, you can take hundreds, thousands, and countless steps in the future.

At present, although there is some confusion in the military system, establishment, and weapons of the armed forces under his command, the old and new military systems, the old and new weapons, the old and new tactics, the old and new training methods, and the old and new military cultures all exist at the same time.

This is an inevitable process, and it is impossible to complete the reorganization of all armies at the same time. If it is carried out at the same time, it is very likely to cause chaos, which will lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the army, and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So Egawa adopted a two-legged walking strategy to do this.

His ultimate goal was to reorganize all the existing lineage armies into a new type of army and integrate them into the Wehrmacht's battle sequence.

Moreover, the armed forces under his command should also be divided into different levels: the Wehrmacht, as the main armed force, is responsible for defending the country against foreign aggression.

The National Militia Force, on the other hand, is an auxiliary armed force that is responsible for local garrisons, suppressing bandits, and pacifying local public order.

The main source model of the Wehrmacht is that the veterans of the Qin Army plus ordinary recruits, with veterans as the backbone and new recruits as flesh and blood, are formed together, so as to ensure the purity and loyalty of the army.

The National Guard Corps is different, after all, it belongs to the garrison force, and the combat intensity is not high, so the requirements will be lower.

According to Jiang Chuan's expectations, the army and backbone of the National Guard Corps were made up of wounded and retired veterans of the Wehrmacht, and the soldiers were composed of young people of school-age who had been selected by the Wehrmacht. Even when appropriate, some captives or greenwooders can be added to join.

Because of the difference in operational objectives and intensity, the Wehrmacht will naturally be a cut higher than the National Guard in terms of weaponry, personnel coordination, training level, and military salaries.

This is also a disguised encouragement for young people of appropriate age to actively participate in the Defence Force.

However, it does not mean that anyone in the National Guard can join, and there are certain standards.

It can be said that at that time, the armed forces of the whole country will be divided into two parts, two different systems, and the personnel in charge will naturally have to be separated.

But in the end, there is no doubt that the supreme command of both armies is in the hands of Jiang Chuan.

Of course, such a huge number of troops cannot be fully mastered and commanded by Jiang Chuan alone, so it is natural to establish a set of matching central command systems.

Jiang Chuan's idea was to establish a supreme command and appoint himself as the supreme commander. The Standing Organ under the Supreme High Command is the General Staff, the highest commander of the General Staff is the Chief of the General Staff, and the General Office of the General Staff Headquarters, the General Logistics Bureau, the General Operations Bureau, the General Intelligence Bureau, the National Defense Mobilization Bureau, and the Equipment Development Bureau are set up below.

The main task of the General Staff is to be responsible for the formation and management of the army and the mobilization of the army, but it does not have the command of the battlefield.

The establishment of the National Defense Forces and the National Guard requires not only the supreme command system of the central government but also the command system of the local authorities.

Jiang Chuan also considered this point, and the current preliminary plan is to establish 10 major theaters in the entire Zhongzhou in the future, with each theater having a theater commander and how many troops each theater has under its jurisdiction.

The establishment of theaters is based on geographical orientation, such as: Gyeonggi Theater, Liaodong Theater, West Liaoning Theater, Central Plains Theater, Jiangnan Theater, Northwest Theater, Northern Theater, Southwest Theater, Southeast Theater, Jinling Theater.

Liaodong has a vast territory, is also adjacent to the three Koreas, and has the remnants of the Manchu Dynasty, and more importantly, it is the foundation of Jiangchuan, so it is natural to set up two war zones.

In addition, the Gyeonggi Theater and the Jinling Theater correspond to the north and south of the capital, and the others are set according to geographical orientation.

All of the above is the establishment of the Army, and there is no mention of the Navy.

In the Zhongzhou mainland, a place facing the sea on both sides, the importance of the navy is undoubted.

According to Jiang Chuan's vision, the naval division will inevitably be upgraded to a navy in the future.

The navy is also divided into several fleets according to different operational sea areas, and there are detachments and sub-fleets under these fleets.

According to the current strategic situation of the Zhongzhou mainland, if there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, the ocean on both sides may be the direction of the enemy's attack.

Therefore, the waters east of the continent need to form the Atlantic Fleet, and the waters west of the continent need to form the Pacific Fleet.

This is the most basic consideration.

Of course, these ideas are still on paper for the time being, and they have not yet been implemented on Jiang Chuan's desk.

First, there is the issue of money, although the currency reform has begun to be implemented smoothly, and the capital and Gyeonggi neighborhoods have also begun to accept fiat currency under measures such as mandatory policies and bank credit guarantees, but it will take quite some time to really implement it.

The second is that although Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are already in the afterglow of the sunset, they have not completely failed after all.

Moreover, there is a Zheng family on the southeast coast who is about to move, followed by the British Yankees instigating.

The inside of the court looks stable on the surface, but there are always some restless guys waiting for an opportunity to move.

What an eventful time.
