January 1, 1915 was a holiday to celebrate for the German people. After Germany won the world war, the benefits gained in the war began to be gradually digested. And the German people began to enjoy the dividends of the war because of this, which made them very satisfied.

The soldiers of the German Empire, especially the high-ranking generals, had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

After the large-scale war ended, Qin Tian and the giants of the Empire* military began to discuss the list of promotions. However, it has not been taken out for a long time. This makes many generals already waiting for this.

A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. But in the same way, a general who does not want to be a marshal is not a good general. Those generals who are qualified to be promoted to marshals are even more concerned about this promotion.

Fortunately, Qin Tian didn't let them wait too long in the end. On New Year's Day, the promotion ceremony was held at the Imperial Palace.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the generals of the Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force gathered at the Imperial Palace. In the hall, a cluster of stars shines. If someone threw a bomb in the hall, it was estimated that the German* military community would suffer heavy losses.

Of course, security is also very strict on such occasions. It's impossible to bring a dangerous item like a bomb in.

Before the ceremony began, Qin Tian gave a speech praising the efforts and contributions of the Empire's soldiers to the Empire's ability to win this war. If it weren't for the desperate battles of the soldiers, it would have been impossible for the German Empire to win this war. For these soldiers who are tenacious and not afraid of death, Qin Tian admires them very much.

Next, it's time for the main event. The Imperial Prime Minister, Bilo, began to read out the list of promotions.

"Marshal Count Tirpitz, Minister of the Imperial Navy, promoted to Imperial Marshal!" Birlow read it aloud.

Previously, Tirpitz was a marshal of the Navy. In recognition of his merits in creating the Imperial Navy, he was promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Marshal Count Tirpitz received the new Marshal Scepter from Qin Tian's hand with an excited face. You know, the Reich Marshal was already the highest rank of the German * servicemen. Even Tirpitz couldn't be unmoved by this. Fortunately, he finally realized this dream. Although, he is about to retire. However, he was already very satisfied with being able to become the Marshal of the Empire.

"Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff von? Marshal Falkenhein, promoted to Imperial Marshal! Prime Minister Bilow continued.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhain was equally excited. Compared to Tirpitz, he was much younger. After becoming the Marshal of the Reich, he will not retire and will remain at the helm of the Reich Army for a long time. It can be said that in the German * military circles, his glory has only just begun.

So far, only the two of them have been eligible to be promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal.

Next, a large number of generals were promoted to marshals of the Empire* services.

The first was the Imperial Army, and most of the commanders of the various corps of the Imperial Army were qualified for the promotion to the rank of marshal. Except for the Duke of Württemberg, who participated in the coup d'état.

The commander of the 1st Army Corps, Admiral Crook, the commander of the 2nd Army Corps, General Bilow, the commander of the 3rd Army Corps, Admiral Hausen, the commander of the 5th Army Corps, Admiral Dimlin, the commander of the 6th Corps, the Crown Prince Ruprecht, the commander of the 7th Corps, the Commander of the 7th Corps, Admiral Shilingen, the commander of the 9th Corps, General Hindenburg.

These corps commanders were all promoted this time and became Imperial Field Marshals.

On the side of the Imperial Navy, there was the commander of the High Seas Fleet, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer was promoted to the rank of Admiral.

Although, the Imperial Navy played a great role in this battle. But because of those generals, the previous military ranks were generally major generals and lieutenant generals. Even if he gets promoted this time, he can't be promoted to marshal in one step. Only Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer, who previously held the rank of general, was promoted to marshal this time.

As for the Imperial Air Force, the current highest rank is none other than Zekter, and he has the rank of lieutenant general. If you want to be promoted to marshal, it is obviously impossible in a short time. The Imperial Air Force has only just been formed, and it needs to be done enough. Otherwise, you won't be able to convince others.

Of course, Lieutenant General Zeckert will be promoted to general this time.

After the marshal promotion ceremony, a large number of generals were promoted to generals. Many lieutenant generals who have made contributions to this war will be promoted.

Among the representatives were Lieutenant General Ludendorff, commander of the 8th Army Corps, and Lieutenant General Zechter, commander of the Air Force. Vice Admiral Hipper, Chief of Staff of the High Seas Fleet of the Navy, and Vice Admiral Spee, Commander of the Broken Fleet, Commander of the Expeditionary Fleet. In addition, a large number of lieutenant generals will also be promoted. All combined, more than fifty people.

Of course, it doesn't seem like much. But, after all, a general is the highest military rank besides marshal. With so many promotions at once, that's already a lot. However, there are a large number of people among them, because they are too old and their thinking cannot keep up with the development of the army. They will be transferred to a quiet place to retire. There will not be too many people who can really hold real power.

The promotion ceremonies held at the Imperial Palace were mainly for the promotion of the two military ranks, marshal and admiral. As for the other lieutenant generals and major generals, they will be handed over to the various branches of the military. When it comes to the promotion of lieutenant generals and major generals, the number is much higher. Qin Tian didn't have that much time to promote them.

This promotion made the generals of the Empire* military very satisfied, of course, there will be disputes where there are people, and there are still many people who are dissatisfied because they have not been promoted. It's just that that's not the mainstream, and it won't have much of an impact. Those people are basically not in important positions.

The day after the promotion ceremony, Qin Tian announced a new appointment. Commander of the High Seas Fleet of the Imperial Navy, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer became Minister of the Imperial Navy. And the Imperial Marshal Count Tirpitz, will retire from active service. Admiral Hipper, former chief of staff of the High Seas Fleet, served as commander of the Home Fleet. Admiral Shi Pei, the former commander of the Broken Fleet and the Expeditionary Fleet, served as the commander of the Pacific Fleet. Several other fleets have also appointed commanders one after another.

At the same time, the army also began to adjust in large quantities. Many corps commanders who were promoted to field marshals retired from active duty because of their age. The young generals began to serve as the new commanders of the army group. He also began to reform the army in accordance with Qin Tian's requirements.
