"Take up our arms and lay a foundation for future generations!"

——Excerpt from "Quotations of Emperor Shengyan"

(Friends who didn't join the group guess why they used the title "Shengyan"!) ）

The development of the military industry is also the content of the military chapter of the First Five-Year Plan, and the other protagonist in the military chapter is the armed forces in the hands of Yan Xueyi, including the Han army and the police. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At present, the Han army mainly has eight brigades and one regiment, with a total of more than 45,000 people.

In the next five years, the eight brigades and one regiment of the Han Army (referring to the army) will continue to expand by 30,000 men and reorganize them into four main divisions, one heavy artillery brigade, and one Praetorian Guard (brigade).

A main force division has more than 15,000 people under its jurisdiction, including two infantry brigades, a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and a guard regiment.

The heavy artillery brigade has a 100-mm cannon regiment, a 120-mm howitzer regiment, and a 150-mm howitzer regiment, totaling more than 3,000 people, and a total of 48 heavy artillery pieces. (In this era, more than 100 mm was considered a heavy artillery, and the howitzer was meant to be used as a cannon and as a howitzer, and in 1884, in addition to the 100 mm cannon that could be equipped, the remaining two types of artillery were under development)

The Praetorian Guard is a large brigade, with three infantry regiments, a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, and a female battalion (the first female soldier establishment in the Han Army), totaling more than 9,000 people.

These four divisions and two brigades, with a total of 70,000 troops, are the main force, and it is planned to complete the reorganization within three years.

In addition to the above-mentioned main forces, the Han army also had second-line troops, and the second-line troops recruited soldiers to form after the reorganization of the main force was completed.

It is expected that the second-line troops will form six divisions, each division has two brigades and one regiment (no regimental artillery and cavalry establishment), and the brigades and regiments are all small formations, so each division of the second-line division has only more than 10,000 people, and the six divisions have a total of more than 60,000 people.

To sum up, in five years, the Han Army Army will expand from more than 43,000 people in eight brigades and one regiment to more than 130,000 people in ten divisions and two brigades.

In addition to the War Department, the Han Army also has the Admiralty to be established, and as for the Air Force, there is no clear establishment, so I will not mention it for the time being.

Within five years, the Admiralty will build a fleet of 12 500-ton gunboats on the Yangtze River, and at the same time form a Marine Corps, which will be a brigade-level establishment of more than 4,000 men.

The development plan for the Han army in the military chapter of the First Five-Year Plan is roughly like this, and it should also be mentioned that the position of political commissar in the Han army will be abolished, and the political commissar with military command ability will serve as officers at all levels, and the political commissar without military command ability will be transferred out, and the political commissar will be replaced by a smaller level of teaching clerk, and the teaching clerk does not need to have combat command ability, as long as he can teach soldiers to read and write, and carry out ideological education for soldiers. It is better to cancel the political commissar in the case of the lack of officers in the expansion of the Han army.

In the military chapter of the First Five-Year Plan, there is not only the development plan of the Han army, but also the development plan of the police, after all, the police are also issued weapons, which belong to the armed forces in the hands of Yan Xueyi.

Previously, due to the Gan clan's hasty occupation of Siqi Province, there were not enough police to maintain law and order, so a large number of auxiliary police were recruited to cooperate with the police to maintain law and order, but in the face of Siqi Province, which has a population of more than 40 million, the number of police is still insufficient.

In the military chapter of the First Five-Year Plan, Siqi Province will set up a police force of up to 100,000 people, and the 100,000 police will also be divided into two parts, 50,000 ordinary police officers who specialize in maintaining law and order, and 50,000 armed police officers who will undergo semi-military training.

Ordinary police weapons are mainly rifles and pistols, equipped with a small number of heavy machine guns, while the armed police are equipped with rifles and pistols, heavy machine guns and mortars have also become standard equipment.

After five years, the armed police will surpass most of the Qing army in combat effectiveness, second only to the Manchu Qing army that has completed training, and when the Han army recovers new land, the armed police will follow the Han army and be responsible for maintaining law and order in various places, and the Han army does not need to be distracted by these things.

The armed police are also considered third-line troops, and they can fight the Qing army when they are pulled into the battlefield.

In addition to the ordinary public security police and armed police, the auxiliary police are also indispensable, after all, even after five years, the ratio of the number of police officers in Siqi Province and the total population of Siqi Province is only 1:400, and if the armed police and even some public security police are transferred, this ratio will reach more than 1:1000, so a large number of auxiliary police are also needed to assist the police to maintain law and order.

……

According to the military chapter of the First Five-Year Plan, the Military Department and the Ministry of Police issued an order for conscription and "police recruitment" to various localities in mid-January, and the first phase is expected to recruit at least 30,000 people in various localities.

The military and police conscripts and "conscripts" are mainly targeted at young men living in rural areas, who are basically admitted if they meet the criteria.

As a result, the towns and cities far away from the cities in the province welcomed one task force after another, and not long after, there were long queues for the temporary recruitment and police offices in the towns.

"Second brother, do you choose to be a soldier or a policeman?"

"Big brother, I want to be a soldier, the salary of being a soldier is more than being a policeman, and I haven't married yet, I want to go out and break through."

"It's okay to go out and break through, the eldest brother is dragging the family now, so he can only choose to be a policeman, and I don't know if we can be selected."

"Big brother, the two of us will definitely be chosen."

"Hmm" (the author is not a Siqi person, he can't speak Siqi dialect, and can only be replaced by Mandarin)

Two young men of average physique in their twenties looked at the long queue from outside the queue and said that they were already fantasizing about the day when they would become soldiers (policemen) and put on their uniforms.

As soon as conscription and "police recruitment" began in various places, a large number of people signed up, and even people from various cities came to the cities and towns to sign up.

Why are conscription and "police recruitment" so popular?

It was not because they supported the Han Dynasty that they enthusiastically signed up, but because they could eat public meals and get a salary to support their families by becoming a soldier or policeman, of course, becoming a soldier or policeman made them a huge improvement in their original status as farmers, which is also a factor.

Just like the two brothers mentioned above, most of the people who drag their families will choose to sign up to be a police officer, while those who have no worries will sign up to join the army, whether it is a police officer or joining the army, it attracts a large number of people.

Compared with last year's conscription and "police recruitment", this time conscription and "police recruitment", obviously there are more people who want to join the army, although the mortality rate of becoming a soldier is higher than that of being a policeman, but the salary of a soldier is higher, and at the same time, it is easier for a soldier to make war exploits on the battlefield, and it is faster to be promoted, and another point is that even if a soldier dies on the battlefield, the family will receive a large amount of compensation, which can make the life of the family better.
