Chapter 374: Panicked America

readx; "Say goodbye to your father and leave home, joining the army is the most honorable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info You don't see, the war on the frontier has not stopped for a long time, and I should be the first for everyone. Throw away the blood to build a great cause, only wish China eternal peace. You can know that the Han Dynasty has been asleep for hundreds of years, and my generation suddenly realizes that the barbarian Hulu is actually the king, deceiving me that the Han has no inheritance, and the Han soil is rampant. He said that the deep hatred is still not snowing, how can my generation steal a life, and wait for a long time to set foot on the land of Kou. Today, listen to this song with you, men are born to be strong, and they have made meritorious contributions in this dynasty, and joining the army is the right way......"

All over the country, at this time, there was still recruitment propaganda, and there were various ways of calling for it in private, and it was very extreme nationalist propaganda.

In terms of public opinion, the Chinese Empire is preaching benevolence, of course, this thing is used to fool others, so the empire is just shouting a few voices on the surface, but it is doing something else below.

The reason why Confucianism was able to establish legitimacy in ancient times was because it catered to the needs of the rulers, and although Confucianism was not as good as Taoism, Taoism was unable to establish a social order, which was the greatest weakness of Taoism.

The Confucian monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, Changlun Dynasty Gang, Spring and Autumn Righteousness, etc., are all for the needs of ruling and centralizing power, benevolence and so on, which are also used by the rulers to fool the people.

However, in China's historical development, there has been a very speechless phenomenon.

That is, when the ruler fools the courtiers and the people, the ruler is also deceived by the courtiers. As an emperor, you also have to be educated.

In the Ming Dynasty, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy gave lectures to the emperor every few days, instilling all kinds of Confucian things into the emperor, and the emperor was in the palace all day long, and the contact with the outside world was based on the dictation of these courtiers and the like, and they were all fooled one by one.

This is also why, during the Han and Tang dynasties, China was able to continue to expand outward, while during the Song and Ming dynasties, it basically did not expand.

Although Confucianism was also orthodox during the Han and Tang dynasties, the rulers had not been fooled at least.

During the Song and Ming dynasties, it can be said that it was the peak of Confucianism, and the whole society was fooled, so there was also a phenomenon, that is, the monarchy reached a certain height of centralization, and the internal dominance was very stable, at least internally, it was difficult to usurp the throne.

At present, the Chinese Empire can be said to have denied Confucianism internally, but on the surface it promotes Confucianism, which is mainly used to fool the gringos, so that he does not need to get too involved in the drama.

It's time to recruit again, and a large number of young people are already gearing up and going to sign up.

Every year the empire recruits soldiers, and the scene is very hot.

For those young people who have missed the school age, if they want to make a career at the moment, they must first have education, and if they want to get culture, one is to go to Chengren School, or study at night school. The other is to join the army, if you can establish military merits in the army, then you will have a good future, even if you do not stay in the army, it is very easy to find a good job after leaving the army.

At this time, there were many examples of success in the empire when they joined the army.

After the establishment of the empire, the empire compensated the families of the martyrs the most generously, and the pensions increased every year, and with the development of the social economy, the money naturally depreciated slowly to a certain extent, and the increase in personal labor income, the pensions of the martyrs naturally increased every year.

Every time the pension is raised, the number of martyrs who have died in battle is also increased.

However, those are the treatment enjoyed by the martyrs before the establishment of the empire, and those martyrs can be described as the founding heroes, and the empire will naturally not make people chill.

At the same time, the rewards of the empire for those founding heroes who did not die are also very rich, but mainly for ordinary soldiers.

Most of those officers are rewarded with promotions, and those rewards are very generous for ordinary soldiers, but not very many for those officers.

This is also the consistent means of the empire, uniting the bottom and balancing the top.

The soldiers who started in Jian'an with the Führer, the worst were already lieutenants at this time, but in terms of positions, some were only platoon commanders.

If you can't improve your ability, you will naturally not be promoted to a too high position, but you can't go unrewarded for following the Fuhrer's pioneering career, so raising the military rank is tantamount to raising the military salary.

And those who are capable, as soon as there is a war, immediately promote their positions.

Although it is said that the best opportunity to join the army has been missed, it does not mean that joining the army has no future.

At this time, the empire has not yet begun to be knighted!

Many of the phenomena of the empire show that the real reward is yet to come.

"When our Chinese empire dominates the world, it will be the time for the empire to seal the world."

There is such a saying in all walks of life, after all, there is no wind and no waves, and such a statement is indeed what Xia Jun promised.

When the empire was founded, it was supposed to be rewarded, but Xia Jun felt that the time was not yet ripe, and rewarding the soldiers at this time would only eliminate their self-motivation.

After the establishment of the empire, the officers and men of the three armies are not without goals, and the new goal is only one - to dominate the world!

Xia Jun drew a big pie for the soldiers, thus once again inspiring the fighting spirit of the whole army.

This approach has also received good results, but the opposite effect is not, after all, Xia Jun can't say that he can't enjoy it, and he has done a good role as a leading role model, and the soldiers below naturally have no ideas. Moreover, the three armies of the empire have ideals, and common ideals can unite people.

Although joining the army at this time is not as easy as it was at the beginning, it is not without opportunities, as long as you have the ability, you can still do it.

Under such circumstances, young people in the inland provinces of the Chinese Empire who missed out on the age of education saw enlistment in the army as a good way out.

And in the coastal provinces, as well as some provinces that were included in the early administration of the East China Political Axe, some of the young people who missed the school age have been recruited into the army, and some have entered the Chengren School, and then learned a skill and become workers, which has basically been digested.

In previous years, the requirements for recruiting soldiers in the empire were very strict, after all, there were many people who enlisted in the army in previous years, and the number of soldiers was limited, so it was natural to choose and choose.

And now the situation is different, the empire recruits young people who sign up for the army, as long as they are about the same in physical fitness, even those with poor physical fitness.

Because the empire will expand the production corps this year, and those with poor physical fitness will be recruited into the production corps.

These production corps are mainly engaged in production projects, in addition to traditional agriculture, and now also join industrial production. Even traditional agricultural production uses the most advanced technology.

When the empire recruited soldiers from these production corps, the main purpose was to enable these uneducated young people to learn culture in the army and learn skilled production techniques, so that they could have a skill after leaving the army, and provide them with a ladder to promote to the middle class.

This policy is mainly aimed at the inland areas, while in the coastal areas, all those who are currently enlisted in the army are conscripts, and all of them come out of schools.

The provinces in East China have each had 10 years of educational development, and the current source of soldiers of appropriate age is all students.

After all, after joining the army, they can come into contact with comrades-in-arms from all provinces across the country, and they can go to the border and other areas, which can broaden their horizons. At the same time, the army's transformation of people is not comparable to night schools.

The establishment of the production corps has a huge advantage, that is, it can reduce the burden of armaments, after all, the production of these production corps in peacetime can also produce benefits, and these benefits will be spent on the equipment, training consumption, and other expenses of the production corps.

In return, the empire gave the soldiers of the production corps a good platform for development, and after leaving the army, they could enjoy more advanced entrepreneurial guidance.

At the same time, cultivating these inland soldiers to start a business is conducive to the development of the inland economy, and the empire has also issued a variety of support policies for inland veterans to return to their hometowns to start businesses.

The conscription system, which currently only applies to coastal areas and other areas, is aimed at school students. In the inland areas, there is no compulsory military system for the time being, and this will have to wait a few more years.

In the coastal areas, the compulsory military system does not mean that everyone has to join the army, but only those who have passed the physical fitness test are recruited into the army, and they only need to serve for two years.

These students have already received a certain degree of military training in school, and they have no problem in lining up and other aspects, and they have no problem with basic firearms.

With the development of science and technology, war has evolved into a movement war integrating land and air, and the form of war has changed to the mode of using the air force, artillery, and combat vehicles to make a forcible breakthrough, and then carry out in-depth penetration and encirclement.

In this mode, the infantry has been relegated to a secondary position, and the main battle is a close-quarters battle after interspersed encirclement of the enemy.

Therefore, the traditional mode of military training has become a thing of the past, and in response to the needs of war in the new era, soldiers must learn close-range combat skills.

This is the task of ordinary soldiers, while the professional arms are the first branches of the armed forces, such as armored troops, air force pilots, and artillery units.

In this mode of battle, individual firepower becomes more important, after all, encirclement and annihilation battles are more than close-range firepower, but it is not too close.

In the Sino-Chinese War, as well as in the Soviet and Russian Civil Wars, a problem was exposed, that is, submachine guns did have a great effect, but sometimes the insufficient range was also a shortcoming.

At present, this is also a disadvantage that is not a disadvantage, because the firepower of other countries is not as good as that of the Chinese Empire, and in the case of the Chinese Empire's Type 09 rifle, the firepower is more fierce than the rifle of any country, and the accuracy is also high, so no one thinks that this is a disadvantage.

However, there is still a demand, and the military has already put forward a relevant weapon and equipment improvement plan, that is, to create a rifle with moderate power, moderate range, fierce firepower, and easy to carry.

The Chinese Empire was the first country to recognize this development.

The main purpose of the empire's expansion of the production corps this year is to train ordinary soldiers.

These ordinary soldiers went to the battlefield, and the task was to rush forward, and then destroy the enemy, and they did not need too strong technical surnames, but the danger factor was extremely great, so this was the easiest place to consume troops, and since the empire had to prepare for war, it had to train ordinary soldiers.

Two years is enough time to train a qualified stormtrooper, and after being discharged from the army, he will be transferred to the reserves, and when the war comes, these reserves will be mobilized immediately.

To put it bluntly, those reserves are, in fact, cannon fodder reserves.

But this is the case in war, there must always be someone to be the cannon fodder for the charge, and the danger faced by those professional soldiers is also very great, in the case of armored divisions, they have to carry out frontal forced breakthroughs, and the air force has to carry out air battles and bombing behind enemy lines.

Of course, if the military technology is stronger than the enemy, then the danger will be much lower.

The military technology of the Chinese Empire was still ahead of the world at this time.

In 1921, the Chinese Empire successively recruited nearly three million people, most of whom were converted into production corps, and the total number of troops in the Chinese Empire has increased to six million, which is equivalent to one out of 100 people joining the army, which is very low compared to the crazy ratio of ten to one.

As a country that is about to embark on a militarist line, there must be a basis for the participation of the whole people in military construction.

The expansion of the Chinese Empire this year has indeed scared Britain and the United States and other countries half to death.

Six million!

That's six million!

And the Chinese Empire can call up another six million at any time, as long as it is necessary.

What did the Chinese Empire do with so many troops for no reason?

Is there going to be an all-out war against the Soviet Union?

The United States, which is well versed in the use of capital, naturally understands that this is possible. Although the territory is nominally Russian, it is entirely possible that Chinese capital will be able to continue to exploit Russia and wage a full-scale war against the Soviet Union, because China has such interests.

As long as there is sufficient interest in the starting point, then it is possible to put it into action.

In the face of this great possibility, Britain and the United States said that it was time for the Entente to burn their eyebrows.

If the Chinese Empire were to reach out to Europe, the result would be terrible.

The Chinese Empire's occupation of Europe is tantamount to unifying the world island, and the United States will be surrounded by that time.

The White House convened an emergency meeting for this purpose.

"With the current military strength of the United States, it is completely insufficient to stop China's expansion, first of all, in terms of naval warfare, the navies of all countries in the world cannot get close to the China Sea. And this time China is expanding by land, not by sea. On land, the Soviet Union was clearly unable to withstand the Sino-Russian coalition. Britain, France and Germany have just experienced a protracted war, and there are few forces that can be mobilized to resist China. If China is really determined to attack Europe, there will be little power to stop it. U.S. Secretary of State Ransing Robert said: "What the United States needs is time, we need enough time for the Soviet Union to develop, and we need enough time for Britain, France and Germany to regain their strength." China, on the other hand, has never been mired in war since the beginning of the last war, and they have amassed a huge amount of power, which is now extremely easy to erupt. ”

"What then!" Wilson asked, "Shall we build an army of six million men like they did?" ”

Wilson's depressed expression could see his helplessness.

The population of the United States is only 100 million, and theoretically 10 million people can be sent to fight if all the people are soldiers, but in practice this is not the case.

The United States is a capital country, and it is impossible to send so many people to join the army, even if it is to send 6 million people to join the army, the United States will not be able to stand it.

In non-war times, the United States needs to develop, how can it develop when so many people go to join the army?

China is different, China has so many people, 6 million people do not affect the development of the whole country, and China has not yet achieved full industrialization, and there are still many people who are agricultural, and these agricultural people have joined the army, which has no impact on social production.

At this time, the United States is far from being ready for war, and with its development line and method of warfare, it is a model that relies heavily on advanced military technology.

Because American soldiers are not too professional, most of them are non-professional.

The magic weapon for the United States to win is its advanced military technology.

But now China's military technology has clearly surpassed that of the United States, and if the United States rashly enters the war, then it will not want to develop.

Therefore, the United States needs time to develop, and the first task of the United States in the future is to restore the strength of Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and help the Soviet Union to establish a good industrial and air defense system, and help it develop land power to balance China and Russia.

"Maybe we need to restart the agreement so that it is possible to temporarily stop China's westward expansion, but war will definitely break out in the future." Robert concluded.

Wilson nodded, not too nervous.

He's just the president anyway, and it's not him who should be nervous, but the capitalists.

Of course, if he wants to be re-elected, then he must do something that is in the interests of those capitalists, so that he can be re-elected, and in the current state, it is obvious that re-election is no longer too likely.

This is because the United States has been at a disadvantage in competition with China since the outbreak of the war in Europe. Wilson has been president for two terms, and the next president will certainly not be him.

Wilson had made enough money during his presidency to live the rest of his life happily, and he didn't care too much about the future of the United States. No matter how China expands, it will not be able to hit the United States for a while.

Of course, Wilson does not want to see China hit the United States, after all, he will enjoy the rest of his life in the future and does not want to be affected by it.

But the man who is about to leave office, Wilson is no longer very concerned about the matter.

…… The United States is nervous and half dead, but the Chinese Empire is not aware of this.

Xia Jun's decision to recruit the 3 million production corps this time was just to train reserves, after all, the equipment, training, etc. of the 3 million army will take a certain amount of time to be in place.

Moreover, the Chinese Empire has already amassed 1.6 million troops on the Western Front, and the task of the communication line is already very intense.

With the arrival of autumn, the cotton harvest in Kazakhstan was also completed, the military operations of the Chinese Empire on the Western Front also stopped, the railway was about to start transporting cotton, and the supply of logistical supplies began to decrease.

If the empire transfers another three hundred people, then the logistics will definitely not be able to bear it.

Moreover, for the time being, the Chinese Empire has not yet developed to the extent that Xia Jun ideals, and if it starts a war rashly now, it may start smoothly, but the strength will definitely be insufficient, and the casualties will be great.

Xia Jun had no intention of starting a war at this time.

In the eyes of the United States, it is different, and if China attacks the Soviet Union at this time, it is indeed a very doubtful question whether the Soviet Union can stop it.

For the time being, the Chinese Empire does not want Russia to get rid of the mountain of the Soviet Union, and once the Soviet Union is eliminated, it may go to the sky.

Therefore, the Chinese Empire had no idea of destroying the USSR in the near future.

Maintaining the Soviet presence will help to continue to train the Russian polar bear.
