A peace agreement was signed with the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Iran, and when the war ended, mercenaries and cavalry divisions in various places stopped attacking the Kingdom of Iran and submitted the list of exploits and booty to the Theater Command and the General Staff for review. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Theater Command sent the Praetorian Guard or the Wehrmacht to receive the spoils of war, and according to the category, they were kept locally or sent to Xijing and Shangjing respectively.

The seized gold, silver, jewelry, precious carpets, antiques, etc., were to be sent to Shangjing; Some liquor and weapons were sent to Beijing, and agricultural tools, daily necessities, grain, and livestock were temporarily stored locally; Some of the weapons were approved by the theater of operations and equipped for mercenary use.

According to preliminary estimates, the value of the gold, silver, and jewelry sent to Beijing alone reached 50 million yuan, although it was far from the capture in India, but this time the time was short, the investment was small, and Zhang Wei was very happy to be able to achieve these military exploits, and more importantly, the land on the northern shore of the Persian Gulf became the legitimate territory of the empire.

Zhang Wei happened to have time in the past two days, so he discussed with Qian Xiangyang and others to reward all the officers and soldiers, to draw an end to this war, and to warm up for becoming the Qin Kingdom, for this reason, he decided to take out 10 million summer yuan for reward, this reward is not only for mercenaries and garrisons, but also for the Praetorian Guard and the National Defense Army.

All personnel participating in the war, regardless of their combat exploits, will be rewarded with 10 yuan, and those who have made outstanding combat achievements will be mainly rewarded with promotions to official posts and sending them to military academies for training.

The cavalry unit is easy to handle, this time two cavalry corps were formed, and the division commanders of the two cavalry divisions with the greatest combat achievements were promoted to the commanders of the cavalry corps, followed by deputy army commanders and army chief of staff. Moreover, the 2,000 cavalry allocated to each army was also used as the establishment of 1 cavalry regiment, and the commanders of 2 cavalry regiments and many cavalry battalions were promoted, so that cavalry officers could be reasonably placed.

This time, the garrison fought in a decent manner, and there was not much to brilliant, so it could only be rewarded with money, and individual officers who performed fairly well could be sent to the Royal Army Military Academy for further study, and now they are urgently returning to China, and they can also catch up with the opening ceremony of the new students of the military academy.

Among the officers and men of the garrison division, the only thing that Zhang Wei can remember is that as long as Shi Lei, the deputy commander of the Surabaya garrison division, successfully attacked Riyadh, whether it was tactics or the use of tactics, he was almost close to the level of the Praetorian Guard, and he was able to carry out a long-distance forced march in the hot desert area, which tested the endurance of the commander and the officers and men; As for the annihilation of the tens of thousands of cavalry in Saudi Arabia, it was only won by relying on the superiority of firepower, and there was not much to be affirmed.

Surabaya City had just dealt with the gang-related incident, and just took Shi Lei as a positive example, and at the same time as he was ceremoniously commended, Shi Lei was recommended to the senior command class of the Royal Army Military Academy for further study.

Major General Song Yi also made a lot of meritorious service this time, and was appointed by Zhang Wei as the chief of staff of the 43rd Army; Since the commander of the 43rd Army was the acting commander of the Major General, he still had a relatively large say in the military department, and he was very satisfied with this.

For mercenaries, except for a few soldiers who found the treasure and received huge monetary rewards, the rest of the personnel were rewarded with promotions based on their military merits; For this reason, after discussing with Qian Xiangyang, Zhang Liang and others, Zhang Wei decided to form the first division of the mercenary army, with the brigade commander of the 9th brigade serving as the division commander of the first division, and the military rank was promoted from brigadier general to major general.

It made Major General Kujou very happy, he was the only officer among the hundreds of thousands of mercenaries who received the rank of major general of the Xia Empire, which was also the first division formed by the Xia Empire, and he cherished this honor very much, as a sign of the revitalization of the Kujou family.

In order to facilitate management and command, the mercenary ranks adopted the regulations on the management of imperial military ranks, and abolished the original military ranks such as Osashi and Shaosa in Japan, but the rank did not change much, only the rank of brigadier general was increased; Brigadier General is equivalent to Japan's Major General, Major General is equivalent to Japan's Lieutenant General, Japan's original division commanders are all lieutenant generals, while the commander of the Xia Empire and the chief of staff of the military region are the rank of lieutenant general, which shows that the Xia Empire's generals have a higher gold content.

The first division was initially set up as four infantry wings, without the brigade level, plus a number of brigades and squadrons directly under the jurisdiction of the division, and the entire division was tentatively set at 16,000 people, which was the same as the number of garrison divisions.

The number of each infantry wing was set at 3,500 people, an increase of 500 people over the original, and the increase of 500 people was mainly the heavy machine gun platoon directly under the brigade and the light machine gun squad directly under the squadron, as well as a 65mm mountain artillery brigade directly under each wing, and each mountain artillery brigade had 9 mountain guns; The main consideration is that the 65mm mountain gun is relatively light and more suitable for the rapid transfer of the wing.

This greatly enhanced the firepower output of the infantry wings of the divisions and regiments, and significantly improved the combat effectiveness.

The division directly administers an artillery wing, 2 75mm mountain artillery brigades, and 1 105mm howitzer brigade, with 24 and 9 guns respectively, mainly based on captured Russian artillery, and Zhang Wei supplemented them with 12 Krupp 75mm mountain guns and 3 old 105mm howitzers.

The 75mm mountain guns of the Praetorian Guards will not be equipped for mercenaries.

As a result, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Division has been greatly improved, and their equipment has become the envy of other mercenary brigades.

He also sent a telegram to Metropolitan Governor Xiao Xuguang of the Northern Theater Command to urgently send 20,000 mercenary officers and soldiers, and in addition to replenishing the battle losses of various brigades and regiments and expanding the first division, the 9th Brigade was set up separately to complete the establishment.

According to Zhang Liang's suggestion, the 65mm mountain artillery squadrons of the other three brigades were expanded into mountain artillery brigades, equipped with 12 65mm mountain guns.

The expansion of divisions and regiments and the establishment of the new 9th Brigade have virtually increased the number of officer posts, and it is a great joy to place the officers who have been promoted because of their combat exploits this time.

The former chief of staff of the 9th Brigade was lucky to serve as the acting brigade commander of the new 9th Brigade this time, and the rank was still colonel, but this had made him happy for a long time, his idea was that he was still young, and there were many opportunities for meritorious service, as long as the Xia Empire continued to fight abroad, it was not difficult for him to be promoted to brigadier general or major general or even a higher rank.

The deputy wing commander of the 2nd Wing of the original 9th Brigade was also promoted to the wing commander of the newly established brigade for his successful sneak attack on the enemy's left flank battery.

Personnel from other brigades and regiments who have been promoted due to their combat exploits have been transferred to the 1st Division and the 9th Brigade respectively, as well as to the vacant positions in their own brigades.

The biggest difference from previous rewards this time was that Zhang Wei approved several junior and middle-ranking mercenary officers to go to the Royal Army Military Academy for one-year training, which gave all mercenary officers and soldiers hope for promotion.

Due to the fact that the commanders of the brigades were generally more cautious and strictly controlled the battle damage, the mercenaries killed in this war were very few, so the number of places to immigrate to the Xia Empire was extremely limited, and less than 30 people won the honor of immigrating to the Xia Empire with their families.

This time, the Japanese who have been qualified for family immigration have been resettled in the South Asian Theater, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is fertile, and the four seasons are like spring, which makes these Japanese very happy.

Obtaining the status of family immigration is a matter of greater joy for mercenaries than promotion to the military rank.

This time, Zhang Wei rewarded the Praetorian Guards and the Wehrmacht with relatively little, they participated in fewer battles, and did not have many military achievements, only the commander of the mountain artillery battalion and the commander of the artillery battalion escort company who fought with the 9th Brigade were commended and sent to the Royal Army Officer College for training.

As we all know, there is an unwritten rule in the Zaixia Empire, as long as you can go to the Royal Army Officer Academy to complete all the courses of officer training and graduate on time, your military rank and rank will be promoted to varying degrees, which is also the reason why all officers and soldiers hope to get the opportunity to go to the Royal Army Military Academy for training, which is regarded as the highest reward for soldiers in the empire.

In order to make the nobility more precious, and the people who have obtained the nobility are more cherished, without special military exploits, Zhang Wei generally does not canonize the title casually, and now it is much more difficult to obtain the title than at the beginning, and this reward did not canonize a nobleman.

The scope of this reward was relatively wide-ranging, and the meritorious personnel were all reasonably rewarded, and the officers and men of the entire West Asian theater were very happy, and the combat enthusiasm of the special mercenaries was even higher, and they will become the main force in the charge of the empire in the future.
