On January 2, Germany needed a strong foreign aid as a partner, so it was the first to announce to the world that it would recognize the Chinese Empire and establish diplomatic relations with China.

……

In just one month, more than 30 countries in the world have announced their recognition of the Chinese Empire, of which 18 have established diplomatic relations with the Chinese Empire, and more than 10 have also announced that they will establish diplomatic relations with the Chinese Empire.

On February 1, Wang Jundao completely reorganized the military hall, and the military hall set up a military hall chief and two deputy military hall chiefs, who were only responsible for handling the regular affairs of the military hall, all of which were personally appointed by Wang Jundao and only responsible for Wang Jundao, the chief of the military hall was served by Lin Zhengnan, and the deputy directors of the military hall were Yang Poyu and Xu Jian.

The General Staff Headquarters of the former subordinate departments of the Military Hall was split into the General Staff Headquarters, the Equipment Headquarters, and the Logistics Headquarters, and the War Department was reorganized into the Army Headquarters, the Navy Department was reorganized into the Navy Headquarters, and the Air Force Department was reorganized into the Air Force Headquarters.

Among them, Pang Wei is the chief of staff, Xu Zhengrong is the deputy chief of staff, Xiang Zilong is the chief of equipment, Tang Jian is the deputy chief of equipment, Wu Wenruo is the chief of logistics, Xiong Xiling is the deputy chief, Nie Yuanzheng is the chief of the army, Yue Fengxian is the deputy chief of the army, Ye Zuqi is the chief of the navy, Sa Zhenbing is the deputy chief of the navy, and Wang Jundao is the chief of the air force.

After the reorganization of the military hall was completed, Wang Jundao convened the high-level officials of the military hall to discuss the matter of re-reforming the military system, and for three whole days, he finally discussed the matters related to the reform of the military system completely, and all the plans were completed.

In the following months, Wang Jundao personally carried out a major reform of the military system.

First of all, the army was renamed, the Chinese Empire was established, and Wang Jundao was also called the emperor, so it was naturally not good to use the name of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army, so Wang Jundao directly renamed the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army as the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, referred to as the Chinese Army.

The navy was renamed the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, referred to as the Chinese Navy.

The Air Force was renamed the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Empire, or the Chinese Air Force for short.

The Chinese Army, the Chinese Navy, and the Chinese Air Force can be collectively referred to as the Chinese Army, referred to as the Chinese Army (the Chinese Army sounds too awkward, and although the National & Army sounds good, it is not easy to use, so it is called the Chinese Army), just like the British Army, Navy and Air Force can be collectively referred to as the British Army.

After the title of the army was changed, Wang Jundao set up eight theater joint operations command organs below the military hall, collectively known as the eight military regions.

The eight military regions are directly under the command of the military hall, and the command is vested in the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force of the Chinese Empire, that is, the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

The eight major military regions are the Central Military Region, the Central Plains Military Region, the Northeast Military Region, the Northern Military Region, the Northwest Military Region, the Southwest Military Region, the Southern Military Region, and the Southeast Military Region.

The commanders of the military regions are only in name, and they do not handle the affairs of the military region in normal times, and the deputy commanders and chiefs of staff of the military regions jointly handle the affairs of the military regions.

The Central Military Region has jurisdiction over the provinces directly under the jurisdiction of the provinces, Shanxi Province, and Shandong Province, and the armed forces are the Guards Corps, with Lin Zhengnan as the commander of the military region and the headquarters of the military region in Yanjing.

The Central Plains Military Region has jurisdiction over Henan Province, Hubei Province, Anhui Province, and Jiangsu Province, and the armed forces are the First Army Corps, with Yang Polu as the commander of the Military Region and the headquarters of the Military Region in Kaifeng.

The Northeast Military Region has jurisdiction over Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, and Heilongjiang Province, and its armed forces are the Third Army Corps, the 81st, 82nd, 83rd, 84th, 85th, 86th, and 87th Divisions.

The Northern Military Region has jurisdiction over Chahar Province, Rehe Province, Suiyuan Province, Mongolia Province, and Ningxia Province, and its armed forces are the Seventh Army Corps, the 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, and 81st Divisions.

The Northwest Military Region has jurisdiction over Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Qinghai Province, Beiting Province, Anxi Province, and Hezhong Province, and its armed forces are the Fifth Army Corps, with Xiang Zilong as the commander of the Military Region and the headquarters of the Military Region in Lanzhou.

The Southwest Military Region has jurisdiction over Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province, Qinghai-Tibet Province, and Guizhou Province, and its armed forces are the Second Army Corps, with Xu Jian as the commander of the Military Region and the headquarters of the Military Region in Chengdu.

The Southern Military Region has jurisdiction over Hunan Province, Guangdong Province, and Guangxi Province, and its armed forces are the Sixth Army Corps, with Tang Jian as the commander of the Military Region and the headquarters of the Military Region in Guangzhou.

The Southeast Military Region has jurisdiction over Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Taiwan Provinces, and its armed forces are the Fourth Army Corps.

Under the major military regions, there are a number of provincial military districts, and under the provincial military districts, there are a number of military subdivisions, that is, each city under each province has a military subdistrict.

Wang Jundao's legislation stipulates that the commander of a large military region shall have the rank of general or general, the deputy commander and chief of staff of a large military region shall have the rank of lieutenant general or general, and the deputy chief of staff of a large military region shall have the rank of major general or lieutenant general. The commander of the provincial military district shall have the rank of major general at the rank of regular army, and the commander of the military subdivision shall have the rank of brigadier general at the rank of full division.

After the establishment of large military regions, provincial military districts, and military sub-districts, Wang Jundao reformed the military establishment system as follows:

There are 10 people in a squad, 30 people in a platoon, 100 people in a company, 300 people in a battalion, 1,000 people in a regiment, 3,000 people in a brigade, 10,000 people in a division (if the number of divisions is strengthened, it will increase according to the situation), and 30,000 people in an army (under normal circumstances, there is no army-level establishment).

Immediately after that, Wang Jundao reformed the armed forces in various localities, abolished the corps establishment, and transformed the armed forces into regular combat-ready units directly under the command of the central government and local garrison units directly under the command of major military regions.

Wang Jundao first drew out the elite troops of each corps and set up three group armies each, while the Guards Corps formed six group armies, the group armies were combat-ready troops, which were troops that did not need to be mobilized and could go to the battlefield at any time, and were nominally subordinate to the major military regions, but like the major military regions, they were directly commanded by Wang Jundao and directly accepted the command of the central military command organ, Juntang.

Each group army is composed of a number of divisions, a number of brigades, and a number of regiments, and there are three types of group armies, namely, group army A, group army B, and group army C. Group Army A is generally 70,000 to 90,000 men, Army Group B is generally 5 to 70,000 men, and Army Group C is 3 to 50,000 men.

Each group army shall have one group army commander, one deputy commander, one chief of staff and one deputy chief of staff of the group army. The commander of a group army of type A has the rank of lieutenant general or general, the commander of a group army of type B has the rank of major general or lieutenant general, the commander of a group army of type C has the rank of brigadier general or major general, and the deputy commander of a group army and the chief of staff of a group army are of the same rank, and under normal circumstances the military rank is one level lower than that of the commander of a group army.

The group armies under the jurisdiction of each large military region are:

Central Military Region: 08th Group Army, 09th Group Army, 10th Group Army, 18th Group Army, 19th Group Army, and 20th Group Army, stationed in Yanjing, Taiyuan, Shanxi, Qingzhou, Shandong, Baoding, Tianjin, and Qinhuangdao.

Central Plains Military Region: The 01st Group Army, the 11th Group Army, and the 21st Group Army, stationed in Kaifeng, Henan, Nanjing, Jiangsu, and Wuhan, Hubei, respectively.

Southwest Military Region: The 02nd Group Army, the 12th Group Army, and the 22nd Group Army, which are stationed in Chengdu, Sichuan, Kunming, Yunnan, and Guiyang, Guizhou, respectively.

Northeast Military Region: The 03rd Group Army, the 13th Group Army, and the 23rd Group Army, which are stationed in Pyongyang, Liaoning, Shenyang, Liaoning, and Harbin, Heilongjiang, respectively.

Northwest Military Region: The 05th Group Army, the 15th Group Army, and the 25th Group Army, stationed in Beiting Yili (now Ili), Lanzhou, Gansu, and Xi'an, Shaanxi, respectively.

The Southern Military Region consists of the 06th Group Army, the 16th Group Army, and the 26th Group Army, which are stationed in Guangzhou, Guangdong (one of which is stationed on Hainan Island), Guilin, Guangxi, and Changsha, Hunan.

The Northern Military Region consisted of the 07th Group Army, the 17th Group Army, and the 27th Group Army, which were stationed in Yasu, Mongolia (now Uriya Sutai), Suiyuan Guisui (now Hohhot), and Chahar Zhangjiakou.

Among them, the 01st Army to the 10th Group Army are Group Army A, the 11th Group Army to the 20th Group Army are Group Army B, and the 21st Group Army to the 30th Group Army are Group Army.

If it is the 2nd Division of the 01st Group Army, the troop number is the 0102nd Division, which can also be called the 0102 Troops, if it is the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Division of the 01st Group Army, it can be called the 01021st Brigade, and it can also be called the 01021 Troop, if it is the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Division of the 01st Group Army, it can be called the 010212 th Regiment, and it can also be called the 010212 Troops, and the unit number at the battalion level is gone.

That is to say, the first two digits are the number of the group army, the third digit is the number of the army, the fourth digit is the number of the division, the fifth digit is the number of the brigade, the sixth digit is the number of the regiment, and the number of the battalion is gone.

The main tasks of the regiments are to replenish the number of soldiers of the strategic forces, garrison the localities, defend local security, prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, and participate in local construction, the reclamation of military farms, the construction of reservoirs, the construction of roads, the fight against floods and disaster relief, and so on.
