Chapter 183: Military System Reform
Under normal circumstances, the local troops of a province are a reinforced division, and the strength of the reinforced division depends on the situation, and it is generally composed of 10 to 20 regiments, each regiment is stationed in each military sub-district, and a regiment is stationed in each city.
As for the soldiers of the garrison units, the elite of them can join the regular combat readiness units of the group army, and the rest will be directly retired from the army, and if the soldiers in the group army are injured or retired in the future, they can also be given priority to the garrison troops.
For example, Zhili Province was the first to be occupied, the local garrison division of Zhili Province was the 1st Division, Shandong Province was the second to occupy, the local garrison division was the 2nd Division, Henan Province was the third to occupy, the local garrison division was the 3rd Division, Shanxi Province was the fourth to occupy, and the local garrison division was the 4th Division...... Until the last province, if the territory is expanded to create new provinces in the future, the local garrison division will continue to be expanded.
In the headquarters of the large military region, a guard division will be formed in a unified manner, and this guard division will accept the leadership of the central authorities, be under the command of the headquarters of the large military region, and be responsible for the security of the headquarters of the large military region.
In the capital Beijing, Wang Jundao extracted the elite troops from the original major army corps, supplemented the Praetorian Guard, and formed a Guard, which consisted of 5 Praetorian Guard divisions, namely the 1st Praetorian Guard Division, the 2nd Praetorian Guard Division, the 3rd Praetorian Guard Division, the 4th Praetorian Guard Division, and the 5th Praetorian Guard Division.
Among them, the 1st Praetorian Guard Division is the Dragon Tiger Guard, and the 2nd Praetorian Guard Division is the Excalibur Special Forces and the Sharp Arrow Special Forces. The 3rd Praetorian Guard Division is the Phoenix Guard, the 4th Praetorian Guard Division is composed of the elite agents of the Chinese Intelligence Bureau, and the 5th Praetorian Guard Division is composed of the elite of the major legions.
The Praetorian Guard was responsible for the security of the inner city, the imperial city, and the imperial palace in Beijing, as well as the life, family, and property of civil and military officials of the central government of the Chinese Empire.
The Guards Army is also composed of five divisions, namely the 1st Guards Division, the 2nd Guards Division, the 3rd Guards Division, the 4th Guards Division, and the 5th Guards Division.
In order to prevent the Praetorian Guard and the Guards from becoming weak and eventually vulnerable, like the soldiers of the Eight Banners, Wang Jundao stipulated that the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard and the Guards should serve for three years. On average, the best soldiers are selected from the various armies every year to fill vacancies in the Praetorian Guard and Guards due to retirement.
Of course, the reform of the military system is not over yet. And the Navy!
After the navy was renamed the Imperial Chinese Navy, Wang Jundao reformed the navy and divided the navy into four fleets, namely the Bohai Fleet, the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet.
The Bohai Fleet is based in Tianjin. The ports are: Qinhuangdao, Lushun, Dalian, Yantai, Weihai, Huludao, Donggang and other places. Four large naval bases are about to be developed. They are Tianjin base, Huludao base, Lushun base and Yantai base. The commander of the Bohai Fleet is Li Dingxin, the deputy commander is Huang Zhongying, and the chief of staff Chen Yingqi. The composition of the Bohai Fleet is the original 'Jiaolong' fleet and the 'Ghost' submarine force, and now there are more than 40 warships of various types, although there are no warships of more than 10,000 tons, but they are the most advanced fleet in the world.
The North Sea Fleet is stationed in Qingdao, and the ports of call are: Rizhao, Haizhou, Lianyungang, Haisenwei, Hamhung, Jeju Island, Tsushima Island, Goto Island, Kagoshima and other places, and three large naval bases will be developed, namely Qingdao base, Jeju Island base, and Kagoshima base. The North Sea Fleet now has more than 40 warships of various kinds, and the fleet commander is Liu Guanxiong, deputy commander Lan Jianshu, and chief of staff Xiao Yan.
The East China Sea Fleet is stationed in Ningbo, and its ports are: Shanghai, Wusong, Zhoushan, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Keelung and other places. Four large naval bases will be developed, namely the Shanghai base, the Ningbo base, the Keelung base, and the Ryukyu Islands base. The East China Sea Fleet now has more than 40 warships of various types, with Cheng Biguang as the commander of the fleet, Jiang Zheng as the deputy commander, and Luo Jinguang as the chief of staff.
The South China Sea Fleet is stationed in Zhanjiang, and its ports are: Zhanjiang, Shantou, Guangzhou, Haikou, Kaohsiung, Yulin, Beihai, Huangpu and other places, and four large naval bases will be developed, namely Zhanjiang base, Guangzhou base, Haikou base, and Kaohsiung base. The South China Sea Fleet now has more than 40 warships, fleet commander Lin Baoyi, deputy commander Gao Zhennan, and chief of staff Du Xiqi.
Although the four major fleets except for the Bohai Fleet, the rest of the fleets have a battleship of more than 10,000 tons, but the size of the fleet is still relatively small, except for the Bohai Fleet, which has two detachments (one of which is a submarine detachment), the remaining three fleets have only one main detachment for the time being, and there is a battleship group, a destroyer group, a frigate group, and a landing ship group.
As for the Air Force, there is no need to reform it at all, because today's Air Force has just started, and the aircraft has just come out of the experimental product, which can fly up or dozens of kilometers away, but it is far inferior to the airship.
Today's air force has only 27 airships, and the total number of air forces, ground air defense units, airborne troops, pilots, training officers, and so on has exceeded 10,000.
The chief of the air force was personally represented by Wang Jundao, and the commander of the air force, Yan Feiying, deputy commander, Qiao Kong, and Pei Qiong, chief of staff, were personally trained by Wang Jundao.
After the completion of the reform of the army and navy, and when all localities had adapted to the model of the new military system, Wang Jundao established a new military service law, one of which was that all male citizens of the Chinese Empire between the ages of 18 and 22, except for those who were physically disabled, physically unhealthy, and terminally ill, must serve in the military, and women should serve in the military on a voluntary basis.
In a short period of time, the martial arts regiments in various places will select the outstanding ones and enter the martial arts regiments for martial arts training and primary military training.
The military service system is two years, and if you are not selected into the military regiment within two years. If you can be selected into the military regiment, you must serve two more years of military service in the military regiment, the first year of military service can be called a Chinese warrior, the second year according to the strength, you can get the title of superior warrior, the best in the same period of the martial arts regiment can get the honor of Chinese national soldier.
If they can be selected from the military regiment to the local garrison force, the service time is also two years.
If you fail to be selected from the garrison unit into the group army, that is, the regular combat readiness force, within two years, then you will no longer have to serve on active duty.
If you can be selected into the group army. That would have to serve for another two years. If you are not promoted to junior non-commissioned officer, that is, corporal and sergeant, you can retire after serving in the group army for two years, and if you are promoted to junior non-commissioned officer, intermediate non-commissioned officer (sergeant and sergeant major of the fourth class), senior non-commissioned officer (sergeant major of the third class, sergeant major of the second class, sergeant major of the first class). or directly promoted to lieutenant by virtue of military merit and ability. The service time is calculated separately.
In general. The combat-ready troops, that is, the group army, are short of manpower, so they draw elite troops from the garrison to replenish them, and the garrison troops are short of manpower. It is replenished from the elite of the military regiment, and if there is a shortage of people in the military regiment, it can be replenished from the elite of military service, and if it is during the war, it can be recruited directly from the civilian population, and priority is given to retired elites.
If a person is eighteen years old and has served in the military for a few days and encounters a shortage of people in the military regiment, and he happens to be an elite, he is immediately selected into the military regiment, just after serving in the military regiment for half a year, he meets the conditions for entering the garrison force, and the garrison force happens to be short of people, he is an elite and was selected into the garrison force, after serving in the garrison for half a year, his luck is as good as ever, the combat reserve force is just short of people, he was immediately selected into the combat reserve force, served for two years, if he failed to promote non-commissioned officer or lieutenant officer within these two years, Guan Rong retired, The total time he served was four years, that is, he completed his service at the age of twenty-two.
And if a person is selected into the military regiment at the age of 22 when he is serving in the military, and is not selected into the garrison until the end of the second year of service in the military regiment, he is selected into the combat reserve unit at the end of the second year of service in the garrison unit, and he is not honorably discharged until he has served in the combat reserve force for two years, that is, he will not be discharged until he is 28 years old.
In order to avoid such a situation as much as possible, Wang Jundao added an article after the Military Service Law, and the soldiers should be given priority to the young and excellent!
Wang Jundao's new military service law also stipulates that all healthy male citizens between the ages of 22 and 35 must serve in the reserve, and women can also voluntarily choose to serve in the reserve.
There are also strict regulations on the length of service for non-commissioned officers in the Military Service Law: four years for junior non-commissioned officers (corporal and sergeant), six years for intermediate non-commissioned officers (sergeant and sergeant major of the fourth class), eight years for senior non-commissioned officers, and the retirement age for all non-commissioned officers must not exceed forty-five years!
There are also strict regulations on the retirement age of officers: 50 years old for lieutenants (including warrant officers, second lieutenants, lieutenants, and captains), 52 years old for brigadier colonels, 54 years old for majors, 56 years old for lieutenant colonels, 58 years old for colonels, and 60 years old for generals (including brigadier generals, major generals, lieutenant generals, and generals).
The Military Service Law also stipulates that during the war, both the length of service of soldiers and the length of service of non-commissioned officers will increase, depending on the circumstances, and the age of conscription for active service will also be increased to forty years!
After the completion of the reform of the army, the construction corps also went to Mongolia Province, Anxi Province, Beiting Province, and Hezhong Province to carry out vigorous large-scale production construction, and voluntary immigration was also carried out in an orderly manner.
Thanks to Japan's war reparations, the huge amount of money from various countries to ransom prisoners, and the large amount of industrial equipment, industrial machinery, and basic industrial technology obtained through technology exchange, China's development has once again entered a peak period.
Coupled with the gradual dredging of railways and cement highways in various places, heavy industry, light industry, agriculture, and commerce have once again entered a new spring.
A large-scale national construction with industrial, economic, and military construction as the core was vigorously launched in the land of China, and the first five-year development plan of the Chinese Empire formulated by the cabinet was completely opened. (To be continued......)
