Feng Shichang patiently explained: "Although the Cossack Empire and the Monte Empire are surrounded by the aggressive Cossack Empire and the Monte Empire, although the Japanese State has been temporarily suppressed, they have the support of the Saar Empire, and they may be able to recover when they can, and in the Lanfang Empire to the south of us, Your Majesty has already become wary of you, and we must also be on guard. ”

Fang Xiaoyu muttered, "No matter what, I don't have the money to expand the army anymore." Hearing that what Feng Shichang said was reasonable and irrefutable, Fang Xiaoyu simply made it clear that he couldn't expand the army without money.

Feng Shichang said with a smile: "Young Master, in fact, you are too good to the army, we can reduce the treatment appropriately." ”

Hearing Feng Shichang say this, Fang Xiaoyu immediately shook his head and said: "The soldiers really surround my land with their lives, life is priceless, and our so-called generous treatment is not much for their efforts." “

Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoyu changed his words and said: "What's more, this treatment has been raised, so it can't be lowered, otherwise the soldiers will complain, if it causes instability in the army's morale, it will cause me more trouble, anyway, now that our transportation is relatively developed, the troops can be transported to the area that needs to be defended in a short time, and the mobile and flexible deployment of 300,000 troops is not less." ”

Feng Shichang said with a smile: "The transportation of the Chinese Territory is indeed developed, but it cannot cover every inch of land, especially the land in the north that is not fully developed, and it will take a long time to build the railway." Moreover, quantitative changes in the army can easily lead to qualitative changes, and if the enemy dispatches a large enough number of troops, even the elite of our soldiers will be defeated. And I'm not asking you to lower the treatment of the defense forces, but I want you to form a new army. ”

Feng Shichang explained: "My idea is to form a new type of army, change our troops to a dual-track system, change the current recruitment system of the defense force, and add a conscription army. ”

Fang Xiaoyu slapped his thigh and said suddenly: "Yes, it is indeed good to use the conscription army as a supplement to the defense force, so that not only can you expand enough troops with very little money, but also quickly obtain a large number of soldiers who have received formal military training, and when these soldiers retire, it will be a good source of reserve soldiers." ”

Fang Xiaoyu secretly complained to himself, how could he forget the military system of the Celestial Empire, there was a large stream of retired soldiers as reserve reserves, and once the war broke out in the future, he would be able to raise a terrifying army.

Feng Shichang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect this benefit, if it goes on like this, after ten years, we won't be able to gather a well-trained army of millions at any time." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and smiled: "That's right, this method is really good, just do as you say, and now we should also set up a reserve system, so that the young and middle-aged people in the territory can carry out some military training, not only will the quality of our recruits in the future be improved, but the number of reserve troops can also be greatly increased." ”

Sent Feng Shichang away, Fang Xiaoyu said: "Now the problem of the army has been solved, this money is really not enough to spend, I have to think about how to make money again." ”

As soon as Fang Xiaoyu's words fell, he heard a burst of coquettish laughter: "You, a rich man, also cry poorly? ”

Fang Xiaoyu jumped up and said in surprise when he heard this voice: "Elena, are you back?" ”

The beautiful and peerless Elena threw herself into Fang Xiaoyu's arms and whispered: "Yes, I'm back, I'm back to marry you." ”

"Really? It's great, let's get married this year, with Wei'er and Yun'er, okay. Fang Xiaoyu looked at Elena and smiled. Elena looked at Fang Xiaoyu affectionately, nodded slightly, and then her face turned red and buried her head deep in Fang Xiaoyu's arms.

With Fang Xiaoyu's authorization, the Army General Staff began a new plan to expand the army. Due to the pressure of insufficient troops, the army under the Chinese leadership has carried out an earth-shaking reform. The former Chinese Consulate Defense Force will be renamed the Guards Army, as the professional military unit of the Chinese Consulate and the most elite unit in the Chinese Consulate Government Army, and will be given priority to equipping with various new weapons in the future.

In addition, the Chinese Territory has set up a new defense force, and the new defense force will adopt a conscription system, and the preliminary plan is to recruit a total of 10 corps, 30 divisions, and 450,000 troops.

The navy also needs to expand its forces, and they plan to recruit 40,000 soldiers, 10,000 to serve as sailors in the coastal defense fleet and anti-smuggling fleet, and 30,000 to form two marine divisions for island defense and landing operations.

This is the beginning of the implementation of the compulsory military system by the Chinese Consulate, and all conscripts will serve in the army for three years, and they will not be paid any salary for three years.

Although conscripts are not paid during their military service, Fang Xiaoyu believes that while enlisting and training, they can also receive education in the army to improve their cultural quality. Moreover, Fang Xiaoyu also intends to promise that after two years of discharge, these conscripts will be allowed to enter technical schools to study for free, and after graduation, they will enter major enterprises, especially Zhonghua Group Corporation, and priority will be given to veterans who have served in the military.

For veterans who do not want to enter a technical school, they will be able to get a discharge fee of 100 yuan to return to their hometown to fend for themselves. However, now that the treatment of Zhonghua Group is so good, Fang Xiaoyu believes that most of the veterans will be willing to work in Fang Xiaoyu's factory.

In order to facilitate these conscripts to better study in the technical school, Fang Xiaoyu also plans to let these conscripts in addition to training military skills when joining the army, and then add cultural learning courses, and after having culture, they can be qualified for factory work after one year of study in the technical school, which can not only allow them to quickly find employment, but also quickly improve the cultural quality of the residents in the territory.

Fang Xiaoyu is very willing to do such a thing, that is, to solve the problem of shortage of soldiers and funds in the Chinese Collar, and so that Fang Xiaoyu can get a large number of good workers who are educated, skilled and disciplined, even if the factories under the Zhonghua Group Company cannot digest so many people in the future, Fang Xiaoyu also believes that the major factories in the Chinese Collar will rush to ask for these excellent workers.

The current Chinese Territory is a period of great shortage of literate skilled workers, most of the former civilians are uneducated, and the educated generation that is going to school has not yet grown up, although there are excellent technicians such as dwarves and goblins to fill the gap, but their number is not large, it is difficult to meet the needs of more and more factories in the Chinese Territory.
