"The Tenth Group Army, under the jurisdiction of the 7th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th Divisions, artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, guard brigades, engineer brigades, baggage brigades and military field hospitals, with a total strength of 160,000 troops, General Lin Chengye, commander of the group army, and Lieutenant General Qi Chunxiang, chief of staff. The 10th Army was to defend the southwestern region and to undertake operations against India, as well as as a reserve for the army! ”
"The remaining 35th, 15th, 16th, 40th, 41st and 52nd Divisions are composed of troops directly under the War Department, with Lieutenant General Zhou Shun as commander and Major General Jiang Qiao as chief of staff, and the troops directly under the War Department will be stationed in important areas within the empire! And act as a reserve for the Imperial Army! ”
"In addition, the forty reserve brigades of the country, in addition to the 40th reserve brigade in the icefield province, will be divided into four reserve clusters. The 1st to 10th Brigades of the Reserve Force were commanded by Lieutenant General Lu Chengzhi. The 11th Brigade to the 20th Brigade was commanded by Lieutenant General Zhou Shu. The 21st Brigade to the 30th Brigade were commanded by Lieutenant General Chantelin. The 31st Brigade to the 39th Brigade was commanded by Lieutenant General Wei Xiang! ”
"The three cavalry corps are also directly under the War Department. Among them, the First Cavalry Army and the Third Cavalry Army were stationed in the western and northern frontiers, and the Second Cavalry Army was stationed in Mongolia and Beihai! The above is the restructuring of the Imperial Army! After Xiong Wu finished speaking, he glanced at everyone present. Some were promoted and served as commanders in the field army. There are also generals who fall into the reserve as commanders. Although the status of the reserve force is not as high as that of the field army, this adjustment can be regarded as taking care of all the commanders, deputy commanders, and chiefs of staff of the previous eight military regions.
"Below, is the restructuring of the Navy. The two fleets of the Imperial Plains. That is, the Turkish Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, which will be changed to the Turkish Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, and the Indian Ocean Fleet. Admiral Deng Shichang, commander of the Turkish fleet, was transferred to the post of vice minister of the Navy and concurrently president of the Naval University. Vice Admiral Li Dingxin is the commander of the Turkish fleet, and Rear Admiral Hai Zhengsheng is the chief of staff. Vice Admiral Gao Yihai is the commander of the Pacific Fleet, and Rear Admiral Zhao Hongcai is the chief of staff. Vice Admiral Li Haitao is the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, and Brigadier General Wu Zhiyuan is the chief of staff. The specific distribution of warships of the three fleets is determined by the Admiralty! The above is the reform of the Imperial Army and Navy this time! After Xiong Wu, the chief of the general staff, finished speaking, he sat back in his place.
"The purpose of the reform of the army and navy. It is to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the imperial ** team. I hope that after this reform, the combat effectiveness of the army will be raised to a higher level. In the next war, the emperor team will still be able to win the final victory! Wang Yuze looked at the marshals and generals below and said. That's his goal, and that's what he hopes to achieve.
"Your Majesty is relieved. In the next war, the ministers will definitely win! Everyone assured Wang Yuze. For everyone's assurance, Wang Yuze is very satisfied.
For the imperial ** team, Wang Yuze is only in charge of the general direction, and the specific affairs are completed by the General Staff and the Army and Navy Department, and he only needs the final result. Be an emperor. It doesn't have to be able to do everything, just having one ability, that's enough. This ability is the ability to recognize people. Ability to spot talent. And it is up to talents to accomplish specific things, which will make the country's development stronger and stronger. Wang Yuze rarely interferes in specific affairs now, which makes him, the emperor, not as tired as the emperors of ancient times. The reason why the emperors of ancient times did not live long. It is estimated that in addition to the reason that there are more concubines in the harem, it is also inseparable from everything.
For this time the reform of the military system. Wang Yuze is still quite satisfied. The new division of defense zones will be more suitable for future wars. At the same time, the focus of the army's defense has changed to those territories that have been newly incorporated into the empire. This was very helpful in maintaining stability in those areas and consolidating the rule of the empire. The existence of the army is a great deterrent to those who have bad intentions.
At the end of December, Beijing welcomed some special guests, who wore leather coats and hats, and looked completely different from the Orientals. Their appearance is more Westerner. These guests are the leaders of the five Central Asian tribes from Central Asia. This time, they went to Beijing to meet Wang Yuze, and at the same time, they also asked China to fulfill its original promise and let the five Central Asian ethnic groups establish their own state.
The establishment of China's Western Xinjiang Province directly occupies half of Central Asia, which is still the most elite half. This made the leaders of the five Central Asian tribes very dissatisfied. However, China is under the banner of restoring the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties, and they have no choice. It is impossible to verify the size of China's homeland during the Han and Tang dynasties. China must say that those territories belong to China, and the five Central Asian ethnic groups have no choice. Although the five tribes of Central Asia already have hundreds of thousands of troops, they are still cavalry that come and go. However, the equipment of these armies is very simple, and most of them use the equipment of the Russian army captured by the squadron on the battlefield, which cannot be compared with the standard equipment of the squadron. In addition, when the people of the five ethnic groups in Central Asia cooperated with the squadron to fight with the Russian army, they also saw the strength of the squadron. Therefore, although I was very dissatisfied in my heart, I didn't dare to express it.
As soon as they got off the train, the leaders of the five Central Asian ethnic groups were immediately stunned by the prosperity of Beijing. The places where they live are all desolate grasslands, even in some cities, they are very small, where is there such a traffic flow and high-rise buildings everywhere in Beijing! In addition to shock, it is a deep envy. They were already wearing the best clothes, but compared to the pedestrians on the street, they were like tattered clothes. They are also the leaders of the tribe! It's not as good as the civilians in China. This has made them more aware of China's strength, and their fear of China has also increased a lot.
The group was arranged in the hotel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and these people, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, had never seen the world at all. For a qiē are so novel. The people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told them that this evening, Emperor Wang Yuze would arrange a dinner party to welcome them in the Imperial Palace, which made the leaders of the five Central Asian tribes very happy. The emperor personally feasted them, showing the importance of the Chinese emperor to them!
That night, the leaders of the five Central Asian tribes were invited into the Xinhua Palace. Wang Yuze held a banquet in Songtao Pavilion to entertain them. The magnificence of Xinhua Palace made the leaders of the five Central Asian tribes deeply envious, and at the same time, they were also very in awe of Wang Yuze, the most powerful young emperor in the East who controlled the world. The grassland people, the weak show awe to the strong, this is a matter of course.
"See Your Majesty!" After seeing Wang Yuze, the leaders of the five Central Asian tribes immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Wang Yuze. Although they are steppe peoples and have nothing to do, they are still very clear about the etiquette of the Eastern Empire.
"Flat! On behalf of the Empire, I welcome you guests from afar! Wang Yuze said with a smile.
After the dinner began, the leaders of the five Central Asian tribes focused all their attention on the food in front of them. They usually drink mare's milk and eat barbecue, when have they ever eaten such delicious food! One by one, they almost swallowed their tongues. In addition, the amount of food that each person destroys is more than three times that of ordinary people. This directly led to the fact that after the dinner, these guys couldn't even walk.
At the dinner, Wang Yuze said that the five Central Asian ethnic groups have made contributions in this war against Russia. Therefore, in addition to supporting the establishment of the Central Asian nation in Central Asia, China will help the five Central Asian ethnic groups develop their economies and build schools for them so that the children of the five Central Asian ethnic groups can go to school.
Wang Yuze's remarks naturally aroused the gratitude of the leaders of the five Central Asian tribes. It's just that they wouldn't have thought that in fact, Wang Yuzegen didn't have a good heart. There is nothing wrong with helping the five ethnic groups in Central Asia develop their economies. The Chinese side can invest in the construction of various wool textile mills or canneries in Central Asia, so that people of the five ethnic groups in Central Asia can raise sheep or beef cattle, and so on. The cattle and sheep they raise can only be sold to Chinese enterprises, so that they can control the economy of the five Central Asian ethnic groups in disguise. Once the five Central Asian tribes have different intentions, as long as these factories stop buying their agricultural products, it will be enough for them to drink a pot. As for the new schools, this is an invasion of the five ethnic groups in Central Asia. The schools teach all Chinese, and teach students to love the country, and love is naturally China. When these children grow up, they will naturally have a sense of belonging to China. When the time comes, China will take the opportunity to annex the five Central Asian ethnic groups, and there will be no problem.
Later, under the coordination of the Chinese government, the five Central Asian tribes divided their territories in the rest of Central Asia, but instead of establishing their own states, they established autonomous regions. Nominally, these autonomous regions are also under the jurisdiction of China. These leaders of the five Central Asian tribes are not stupid, they have completely offended Russia, and once Russia eases up, I am afraid that they will be attacked. If China doesn't save them by then, then they'll be finished. Now that the autonomous regions have been established, they can have the protection of China, which also guarantees their security.
Of course, the Chinese side will not mind this. Although the management of these autonomous regions is still under the responsibility of the five Central Asian tribes themselves, the squadron is able to garrison troops here. The western part of Central Asia, east of the Ural River, and north of the Caspian Sea, are also strategically important. Once another war breaks out between China and Russia, the squadron will be able to attack Russia's important hinterland directly from here! () For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
