Fang Xiaoyu turned his head and said, "Your military should talk about your own plan for expanding the army." Seeing Fang Xiaoyu turn his head, Tobul was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, the current scale of our army is simply not enough to support a world-level war, we need to expand our army at least two to three times." ”

As soon as Tobul said this, the others gasped again, now the number of troops has exceeded 1.5 million, and if the army is expanded by two to three times, it will be almost 5 million.

Afraid of being squeezed out of too much funds by the army, Zhang Haiyang was the first to stand up and object: "It takes too long for so many troops to be recruited, and it takes a lot of money, I think three million is enough, it is better to squeeze out funds to expand the navy, the Saar Empire is the first navy in the world, and we are under great pressure at sea." ”

Al also proposed: "Although the air force is making rapid progress, it has a late start and is still very small, and it must be greatly expanded. ”

Hearing them express their opinions, Feng Shichang was a little reluctant, although everyone was good friends in private, but no one would let them when it came to distributing military expenses.

"I think the land war is the most important, you see that the army of the Nantes Empire has exceeded four million, the Saar Empire has three million and three hundred thousand, and the Cossack Empire is only equipped with three million and eight hundred thousand troops due to insufficient weapons and equipment, and the troops of several countries of the Central Powers are not much less, this is only the active army, not counting the number of people and reserves that have been lost, if the army is insufficient, it will be difficult for us to make great progress." Feng Shichang immediately retorted.

Seeing what Zhang Haiyang and Al wanted to say, Feng Shichang preemptively said: "What's more, although the Saar Empire has a strong navy, and the Yaman Empire has a navy, the strength of the Entente countries in the Eastern Ocean and the Southern Ocean has been basically expelled, so it can't be a big problem, what's the use of having so many navies." ”

Then Feng Shichang turned to Aier and said: "Although the air force started late, its scale has far exceeded that of the Western Continent powers in the same period, which is enough to undertake air missions, and it is just a waste to expand further." ”

Fang Xiaoyu didn't quite agree with Feng Shichang's words, but he also knew very well that the lack of an army was indeed not enough to support his expansion plan, but he also wanted to hear the opinions of the generals, so he didn't speak.

Hearing that Feng Shichang was so partial to the army, Liu Junguo quit: "If the sea frontier is not quiet, the army will be restrained everywhere, and the number of troops given to you at that time will not be enough to defend against the threat of the coastline, not to mention that there is also the Boston Empire, a country with a huge fleet, by our side, we must not take it lightly." ”

Chen Yu, chief of staff of the Air Force, also said: "Yes, the Air Force also needs to be strengthened, the war on the Western Continent has proved that the bombers of the Air Force are more flexible heavy firepower than artillery, and they can support the infantry at any time because of the rapid sudden lack of heavy firepower, which is very important." ”

Feng Shichang wanted to say something, but Thoble waved and said, "Everyone has also said their own reasons, let's listen to Your Majesty's decision first." In the Chinese Imperial Army, Tobul was the most qualified figure, so with him to speak, the military officials immediately stopped arguing.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said: "What everyone said is very reasonable, the expansion of the three armies is imminent, so I have decided that the three armies will be greatly expanded, and all the troops will be supplemented according to the wartime establishment." ”

Then Fang Xiaoyu said: "The expansion of the army will be handed over to the armed police force. Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, the head of the armed police force, Nie Zhiping from the Iron and Blood Army, got up and said, "Your Majesty will definitely complete the task." ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "You have to quickly mobilize the armed police force of the whole country, organize and train three million reserve troops, and within half a year, I will see this army become an army." ”

"Yes." Nie Zhiping gave a military salute and sat down.

Fang Xiaoyu then did not turn his gaze to any one of the military, but looked at Foreign Minister Gao Qiong: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately sent a note to our allies, asking them to immediately transfer the country to a wartime state, and all troops are on high alert and ready to accept our country's dispatch at any time. "For these vassal countries, Fang Xiaoyu will not be polite, especially in land warfare where there are more dead people.

"Your Majesty obeys." Gao Qiong immediately got up and replied.

"The major shipyards of the Navy must start work at full speed, and all warships under construction must be launched within a year, and then we will carry out a new round of shipbuilding plans." Fang Xiaoyu said, Lin Feng, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, who is in charge of industrial issues, immediately got up and agreed.

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said to him: "The major aircraft factories also have to work overtime, and now we have too few aircraft in stock, and we must quickly expand the number." Then he instructed Al: "The Air Force must be well prepared for personnel, and within two months, the Air Force will be expanded three times on the basis of our reserve pilots." Then pilots are recruited from civilian flying clubs for training, and in a year, I want to see an Air Force that is more than five times larger. ”

Fang Xiaoyu's requirements for the Air Force, if placed on the Western Continent, will definitely make governments around the world jaw-dropping. That is, there are a large number of aviation schools and aviation clubs, after years of talent reserves of the Chinese Empire, coupled with the huge production capacity of the major aircraft factories under the Chinese Foundation, Fang Xiaoyu dared to say this, of course, this is also related to the early aircraft manufacturing and maintenance is easy, the price is low and easy to operate, and the pilots are easy to train.

Hearing that Fang Xiaoyu had decided to expand the military in such a big way, the top leaders of the three armed forces were extremely excited, and the trip to East China, which had always opposed too much money into the military, was also a matter of course. He had already prepared for Fang Xiaoyu's decision, and he was not an unreasonable person in East China, and he was still very supportive of the expansion of the army during this period, as long as Fang Xiaoyu did not announce that the national economy would be transferred to a wartime system, he was already very happy.

At this time, Gao Qiong suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, the three allies of the three countries have asked us to provide us with weapons and materials to support the military strength of the Entente. ”

Fang Xiaoyu pouted and said, "As soon as I announced my participation in the war, they came to fight the autumn wind and told them not to talk." If you want to get money for supplies, take reserve gold, otherwise you can take out a loan, in short, there is no free lunch. Wu Qiong nodded and said that he understood.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "In short, in this operation, I will not participate in the actual command, all the battles will be in charge of the joint command, and I will only be responsible for the guidance of the general direction." But I want to make one thing clear to you, this war is an opportunity for our Chinese empire, and what we need to do is to take advantage of it, and not let other countries take advantage of us. I only give you five words, grab money and land. ”

Fang Xiaoyu's request is a bit like a bandit robbery, but it shows the true purpose of the Chinese Empire to participate in this war, to plunder the wealth of other countries and occupy a larger living space.

After this meeting, both the military and the government coordinated, and although the economy of the entire Chinese empire did not enter the wartime system, all the institutions were mobilized, and the 800 million people were ready to enter the war.

Regardless of the purpose of the Chinese Empire's war, the most important thing now is to defeat the enemy, and the first combat goal that the Chinese Empire will face is the Cossack Empire, its old enemy in the north.

For the upcoming war, the Cossack military is very optimistic, in terms of the size of the air force on the western continent, the Chinese Empire dispatched 880 aircraft at a time, and the strength of 11 air wings is already very amazing, so the Cossack military speculates that this is already the entire air force of the Chinese Empire.

The Cossack military believed that while this air force was stranded in the territory of the Monte Empire, it was impossible for the Chinese Empire to draw any air force to fight against the Cossack army.

It is a pity that the top brass of the Cossack Army was wrong, and with the cooperation of several aviation schools and the first division of the Air Force, coupled with the emergence of a large number of aviation clubs, the number of pilots in the Chinese Empire is increasing at a very terrifying rate, and every pilot who can come out of the first division of the Air Force is far from being comparable to those novices.

Fang Xiaoyu deformed the alternative rainbow military exercise and turned it into a regular and normalized training method, and in the first division of the Air Force, all rookie pilots will receive rigorous training like actual combat.

The people who trained them were all elites selected from the top pilots on the front line, so although these novices hated the training of the 1st Air Force Division, when they left here and went to the battlefield, they realized how valuable the training in the 1st Air Force Division was.

With the cooperation of several major organizations and the strong production capacity of the aircraft factories of the China Foundation, the Chinese Empire has set up 30 air wings and five naval air wings with nearly 3,000 aircraft of various kinds in a short period of two years.

And soon the opportunity for such exposure came, and while the Cossack army was still mobilizing troops through the Far Eastern Railway, the Chinese Empire began an offensive from two directions.

In the Far East, the Chinese Empire mobilized a large number of aircraft of ten air wings to indiscriminately bombard the positions of the Cossack corps, and the four armies of the Guards Army and ten corps of the Wehrmacht launched an offensive under the command of Lin Yangchun, commander of the Northern Military District.

"Oh my God, planes, a lot of planes." The Cossack soldiers stationed at the border line watched in amazement at the dense airplanes passing by one after another, the huge fuselage was larger than the bombers used by the countries of the western continent.

"Fly over the target and prepare to drop the bomb." The communicator sounded the orders of the captains of the various bomber groups, and the Imperial Chinese Air Force immediately dispatched all six bomber wings.

For the first time, the air force of the Chinese Empire taught those smug powers of the Western Continent a lesson with their own practical actions, and planes were not played like that.
