On December 25, while Westerners were celebrating Christmas, China was calm. Except for the envoys of various countries in China who hold various drinking parties at Christmas, the Chinese do not care about these foreigners' festivals. It's not at all like the later generations, and it's a foreign festival like Christmas, which is more lively than the Chinese's own traditional festivals.

In the conference room of Xinhua Palace, a cluster of stars shines. All the meritorious men in this battle were ordered to rush here. Emperor Wang Yuze will personally commend the army for their performance in this war, the promotion of generals and the reform of the military system.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Yuze, dressed in a military uniform without military rank, accompanied by Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, came to the conference room. As soon as he appeared, the generals immediately saluted Wang Yuze and shouted long live.

"Everybody's flat!" Wang Yuze said with a smile on his face. The following people are all heroes of the empire. Without them, China would not have been able to achieve such a big victory this time.

"Thank you!" After everyone answered, they all sat upright.

"This war has worked hard for everyone, and without everyone's efforts, the empire would not have achieved such a huge victory. Merit must be rewarded, and now is the time to reward merit and deed. I now announce that, in view of the outstanding performance of Xiong Wu, Chief of the General Staff, Cai Yun, Minister of War, and Jiang Xingguo, Minister of National Defense, in the war, they are officially promoted to the rank of Imperial Field Marshal! Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Prison Navy, and Deng Shichang, Commander of the Turkish Fleet, officially promoted them to the rank of Marshal of the Imperial Navy! Wang Yuze said loudly.

All the generals looked at a few people with heat. That's a marshal! The Empire's current highest rank of glory. In China's military ranks, above the general is the marshal of the army. Including Field Marshals, Navy Marshals and Air Marshals and many more. On top of the class marshal, there is the Imperial Marshal. So far, no one has won this honor. This is also to avoid rising to the top in the future, and not being promoted.

"Thank you!" Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, Cai Yun, minister of the army, Jiang Xingguo, minister of national defense, Zhang Cheng, minister of the navy, and Deng Shichang, commander of the Turkish fleet, immediately fell to the ground. They are all very excited, as the emperor's **, it is their duty to protect their families and defend the country. But equally, they also aspire to great glory. And now, Wang Yuze has given them all this. This made them feel that their efforts were not in vain and they were debriefed.

"Get up! Marshals, generals, I will sue you. Marshals of the Empire, there will definitely be more and more. The Empire was victorious in this war. However, the threat to the empire has not diminished. Perhaps, when the time comes for the next war, it will be time for the empire to face life and death. Therefore, you still need to fight for the Empire. I assure you. Only if you have built up enough merits, then you will also become marshals, even higher imperial marshals! Wang Yuze said loudly.

"Yes. 陛xià! Ministers will be deadly! "Including the newly promoted marshals, everyone's blood is boiling. Everyone knows very well that this time the war is over. But the enmity between the empire and Britain, France, the United States, and Russia was completely settled. Now it is nothing more than a temporary truce. In this war. Although China occupies a big advantage. But countries are not actually doing their best. But the next war will be different, and the countries will definitely do their best. Though. That would be a huge challenge for China. But again, it's a huge opportunity. The same is true for those of them who are soldiers. The more the Great War broke out, the more they made great achievements.

In addition to the promotions of these marshals, there were a large number of generals who were promoted from lieutenant general to general, or from major general to lieutenant general. However, because of the time constraints, these promotions were carried out under the auspices of the War Department and the Navy Department respectively. Others, such as the promotion of Air Force Commander Long Feiyu from lieutenant general to general, and the promotion of Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Wang Wei, minister of homeland security, from lieutenant general to general, were also carried out privately by Wang Yuze.

After the commendation and promotion, it's time for today's event. The General Staff Headquarters has already come up with a plan for reforming the military system, and after reading it, Wang Yuze agreed to the reform plan this time. Today, the reform of the military system will also be officially announced. When the New Year arrives next year, the army and navy will begin to reform.

"Marshals, generals. After this war, the empire more than tripled its territory. The previous system of the eight military regions is no longer suitable for the current form. Therefore, the Reich will carry out reforms of the army and navy. The specific plan will be announced to you below by the Chief of the General Staff, Field Marshal Xiong Wu! Wang Yuze continued.

Everyone stared at Xiong Wu, the chief of the General Staff, and everyone knew that this time the Imperial Army would be divided into army groups, and it would be increased to ten army groups. The ownership of the remaining two group armies is eagerly awaited by everyone. In particular, some people who are qualified are also thinking about whether they can go further.

Xiong Wu, chief of the general staff, glanced at everyone, opened the piece in front of him without panicking, and then said: "Next, I will announce the restructuring of the emperor's ** team." The first is the Army, which will abolish the system of the eight major military regions and replace it with a system that combines the field army and the reserve force from next year.
