At the end of the enthronement ceremony, of course, there were various performances, as well as banquets to thank the ministers and guests. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although Wang Sirui doesn't like this form, but this kind of thing is a convention, not that he can save it if he wants to, although he is the emperor, everything is still what he says, but if he blindly saves, without taking into account the feelings of the ministers, I am afraid that it will cause some unnecessary trouble later.

In the banquet session, Wang Sirui didn't stay here for too long, he still didn't like to live in this kind of deep palace courtyard wall, compared to here, Wang Sirui liked the environment of the military camp more.

As for this place that once represented the highest power in the history of China for hundreds of years, Wang Sirui intends to develop this place into a scenic spot, although this era because of transportation and economic reasons, the income that can be brought to the country is not much, but in line with the principle of one point is a point, Wang Sirui still intends to do so.

After the capital is moved, the Forbidden City will be officially opened to the public.

The next day, Wang Sirui came to the Forbidden City again, unlike yesterday, those ministers did not come today, all the people who came were from the army.

These people are all soldiers who are about to be awarded the rank of general by Wang Sirui himself.

The number of people is not large, because each group army has its own preparation tasks, and it is impossible to transfer all the generals in a short period of time, so they can only confer a batch of titles first, and then issue each person's rank to them first, and wait for the time to find time to confer titles in the future.

Wu Yang, the general who was personally brought by Wang Sirui to symbolize the golden ears of wheat and three gold stars of the general, a general who is only in his twenties, I am afraid that he is the youngest general in history throughout the ages.

No, Huo Qubing in the Western Han Dynasty was younger than Wu Yang in history, but in any case, Wu Yang is also one of the youngest generals in Chinese history.

Of the remaining 30-odd people, three were awarded the rank of lieutenant general and more than 20 were awarded the rank of major general.

According to the positions corresponding to military ranks, major generals correspond to division commanders, lieutenant generals are army commanders, and generals are group army commanders.

As for the marshal, this is more of a symbolic meaning, and the actual duties are not much different from those of a four-star general.

Of course, the group army in the future will naturally not be as large as it is now, and the scale of the group army will be hundreds of thousands. In Wang Sirui's plan, the most suitable number of people for a group army should be 200,000, so that the command pressure of the commander of the group army will not be too great.

Just like now, the largest number of troops is the First Group Army, and Wang Shuqi is also an old man, but the rapid expansion of the army still brings him a lot of trouble.

When there is no war, there are already loopholes in the work, and if this is after the war, how big of a hole should there be?

As time goes by, the army will experience more and more wars, and officers at all levels will have more experience, and then there will be enough talents to let Wang Sirui form the army according to his own ideas.

The award ceremony is very simple, unlike the future generations that can be broadcast live on TV, the host announced the process, Wang Sirui personally put epaulettes on each of the generals who participated in the award, and then said two words of encouragement to them, and there was a department responsible for propaganda next to him to take pictures.

In the future, these photos will be sent to each of them individually, and finally a group photo, Wang Sirui stood in the middle of the crowd, and then, there was no more, these generals who had just completed the award ceremony returned to their respective stations overnight.

Judging from the reaction at yesterday's enthronement ceremony, foreigners should not provoke war in the near future, but if foreigners do not provoke war, it does not mean that the army can relax.

You must know that the territory of the country has not been completely recovered, and the rest are all hard bones, even the Han army must be fully prepared before daring to attack the remaining areas.

Just think about the rest of the places, Tibet, not to mention the materials or anything, even the soldiers are difficult to walk into, so the first step in entering Tibet is to hoard materials and advance little by little in a step-by-step manner.

The Qinghai side is not too much, the Mongolian side needs to face a large number of cavalry, in terms of mobility, the Han army is completely at a disadvantage, although there is a large number of advanced equipment, but people can't beat you still can't run? Just taking you around in circles and hitting your supply lines can drag you to death.

Even the Manchus could only rely on Zhao'an to maintain the situation in Mongolia, and Wang Sirui was very clear-headed, so he didn't think that they had any advantage in this regard.

Therefore, how to attack Mongolia has become Wang Sirui's biggest headache.

Finally, there is Xinjiang, not to mention this, the distance is too far, and the same just supplies can drag them to death, plus they need to cross the Gobi Desert, and the troops sent out can go there without losing a person.

Although the combat effectiveness of the armies in those areas is not very good, the natural geographical advantage has become their biggest barrier, and Wang Sirui also knows very well that they must implement the occupation plan for those areas as soon as possible, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the greater the resistance they will encounter when they attack those areas again.

The Russians have been encouraging the Mongols and ******** to become independent, and the situation in Tibet is not much better, while the British are thinking of annexing part of Tibet to India and leaving the rest independent.

The suggestion given by the think tank is to vigorously develop industry, especially the automobile industry, equip the army with a large number of trucks to transport supplies, and vigorously build roads to ensure the smooth flow of logistics supply lines.

At the same time, the troops were sent to approach these areas in a step-by-step manner, forcing them to come out and fight a decisive battle with the Han army, to consume their vital forces as much as possible, and to create the best conditions for future occupation.

The lack of transportation is the biggest problem.

As everyone sees, when New China recovered Tibet, how many people died? After many troops entered, they were frozen to death and starved to death because of the heavy snow blocking the mountains, coupled with the lack of supplies they carried at that time, and they could not be replenished.

Wang Sirui naturally tried his best to stop such a thing.

The only thing that makes Wang Sirui happy is that the North China, Central China, and South China Plains are all under his control, and these areas are convenient for industrial development, which can enhance the country's comprehensive strength in a short period of time, and as long as the development is good, these problems can be solved within ten years.

Although the problem is that he does not have so much time to prepare, although Wang Sirui does not want to be busy recovering those provinces in China when World War I breaks out, the problem in front of him now is very serious.

Rome was not built in a day, the country has been weak for a long time, how easy is it to rise in a short time?

In this era of industrial explosion, there is no foundation, and it is undoubtedly more difficult to do anything, perhaps the only advantage is the memories of later generations in Wang Sirui's mind, he can avoid detours in some aspects, and use these valuable historical experiences to catch up with and surpass the European and American powers.

The army is good to say, now there are Type 03 assault rifles and sniper rifles, and the next step is to vigorously develop semi-automatic rifles and machine guns.

The army, which is equipped with semi-automatic rifles, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, and machine guns, can at least guarantee that it will not be surpassed by the great powers in terms of weapons in the next two decades, plus mortars, grenades and other close fire support, the firepower of the army has been unmatched.

But in terms of the navy, Wang Sirui is completely stunned, he only knows that in the future, the battleship will be quickly eliminated as a giant ship cannon, and the aircraft carrier battle group will rise instantly.

If the Chinese Empire wants to surpass the European and American powers in terms of navy, the only way to go is to develop aircraft carrier battle groups.

However, the Chinese Empire has no experience in building large warships, and airplanes have only just appeared, and the powered aircraft manufactured by the Wright brothers only successfully flew in December last year, but it is still a long time before it can be truly applied.

At least for the next twenty years, the main force at sea will still be battleships, and even if there are aircraft carriers, without sufficiently advanced aircraft, they will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness.

Without a navy, this means that the Chinese Empire can only spend huge manpower and material resources to develop coastal fortifications to resist the warships of the great powers, and the army can only implement the local defense strategy, and there is no chance of attacking it at all.

"Do you really want to miss the First World War?" Wang Sirui couldn't help muttering secretly.

You must know that the rise of the United States depends on the accumulation of two world wars. And without a navy that can guarantee the army, it is impossible for the Americans to rise.

The speed of development of the US Navy during World War II amazed the whole world, and it only took one year for an aircraft carrier to be built from the beginning to the launch, and it took less than two years to form a complete aircraft carrier formation.

On average, the navy will serve a fleet in a year, and this manufacturing capacity is indeed the envy of many people.

The Americans' manufacturing method Wang Sirui knows that segmented manufacturing, flow division of labor, he will do this, but there are not enough talents, everything is in vain.

Although Wang Sirui has secretly sent many people to Europe and the United States to learn shipbuilding, but because of their identity, they have not entered the core department, most of them are either studying in school, or working in shipyards, and can only rely on some spare time to secretly learn manufacturing experience, and the progress of learning is very slow.

"No, this must change." Wang Sirui made up his mind again, and immediately shouted outside the door: "Someone, go and inform the American envoy Rou Keyi, and say that I want to see him." ”
