Chapter 958: Mobilization Order
On July 15, 1854, Emperor Long Yufei issued an edict ordering armed mobilization to prepare for a critical situation.
"The empire has always sought peaceful development, but the Russians have deceived me too much, attacking our embassy and hurting my compatriots! Today, the Empire will no longer tolerate it. The Empire will take on all challenges with the toughest posture. All the people of our empire, men of appropriate age, once they receive the conscription order of the empire, must immediately report to enlist, join the empire's * army, and fight for the future of the empire! ……”
The emperor's mobilization order, through broadcasting, newspapers and other means, immediately spread throughout the empire. From Siberia to the Australian continent, from Central Asia to North America, all the territory of the empire, the people of the empire heard the emperor's oracle.
This time, the Reich will mobilize 30 infantry corps on top of the previous 70 infantry corps, bringing the total strength of the Imperial Army to 100 infantry corps and 3.5 million infantry corps. to ensure that the Empire has sufficient forces to attack on all fronts. Of course, this batch of mobilizations is mainly based on retired servicemen over the years, who have served as soldiers, and after rejoining the army, they only need to go through a short period of adaptive training before they can go to the battlefield. The next group of recruits will be all recruits, and they will need to go through a long training period before they can go to the battlefield. Only by ensuring that every soldier has a good combat quality can they survive the battlefield with the greatest possible chance.
The armed forces of the empire at all levels of government sent conscription orders to everyone as soon as possible. It's a lot of trouble for the armed staff and the postmen. During this time, the postmen's pockets. Full of conscription orders stamped with the seal of the General Staff.
In the steppes of Eastern Siberia, a young man rides on a horse, driving herds of cattle and sheep. His name is Chen Bing, and he retired from the Imperial Cavalry three years ago. After retiring, according to his military exploits, he received a discharge fee of 500 Chinese yuan, as well as a piece of land. However, Chen Bing had to live in the interior, so he took the initiative to exchange the land for pastures in Eastern Siberia and used the discharge money to buy cattle and sheep. Right now. His ranch already has thousands of sheep and 200 cattle.
A young woman rides a horse. Running fast.
"Chen Bing, there is your letter!" The young woman shouted loudly, he was Chen Bing's wife, Ah Xue.
"What letter?" Chen Bing asked casually. However, there was no reply. Instead, I saw Ah Xue's red eyes.
"What's wrong?" Chen Bing asked with some confusion. Then he took the envelope from Ah Xue's hand. The envelope has been opened. Open it and take a look. Inside was a green card with a short content that simply read: "Order of the Imperial General Staff." Retired Second Lieutenant Chen Bing, before the first day, must rush to the ** local recruit camp to report! ”
"Conscription order from the General Staff. Xue, it looks like I have to leave! Chen Bing said. Although he was a little reluctant, he was a soldier, and he had to obey the orders given by the General Staff.
"Chen Bing, can you not go?" Ah Xue cried and said that the battlefield was dangerous, and she was afraid that something would happen to Chen Bing.
Chen Bing shook his head: "I am a soldier, and the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and now is the time when the country needs me." I promise you, I'll come back alive! It's just that our father, our mother, and the little rabbit cub will be taken care of by you! ”
Ah Xue knew that she couldn't change Chen Bing's decision, and in her bones, Chen Bing was a soldier. She could only silently support Chen Bing behind her back.
"Okay, you can go with confidence. I'll take care of it at home! Xue choked up and nodded.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Bing bid farewell to his parents, hugged his wife and son, who had just learned to walk, and then rode on his war horse and rushed to the recruitment point to report. He was a second lieutenant in the Imperial Cavalry before he retired, and this time, he will join the Imperial Cavalry unit and continue to fight.
Huaxia City, the capital of the empire. Dasheng Textile Factory is a large textile factory on the outskirts of the city. This textile mill is the property of the Zhou family. And the Zhou family, it is rumored that they already have assets of tens of millions of dollars, and they are considered to be one of the top wealthy people in the empire.
Zhou Ronghua, the young master of the Zhou family, is now in charge of the operation and management of the textile factory after retiring from the army four years ago.
"Big young master, this is your letter." A beautiful female secretary handed over a letter to Zhou Ronghua.
"From the Ministry of Armed Forces?" Seeing the words on the envelope, Zhou Ronghua frowned. It's been several years since he left the army, and he's almost forgotten about that military life.
He opened the envelope and took out the conscription card with a sign asking him to report to the nearest recruiting point by the appointed time.
"I didn't expect that Lao Tzu would have to go back to the battlefield one day!" Zhou Ronghua laughed. Although, the current life is rich, but it is not what you want. He misses that kind of bloody military life even more.
Picking up the conscription order, Zhou Ronghua quickly ran back to his home on the outskirts of the city. Soon, the old man of the Zhou family, the old lady, and Zhou Ronghua's wife and children all arrived. Everyone's face is full of worry, the emperor's mobilization order, everyone knows it. However, he didn't expect that Zhou Ronghua would receive a conscription order. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for their family.
"Old man, how good is this! Rong Huadu has been retired for four years, how can he still let him go to the battlefield! If there are three long and two short, how good is this! The old lady's face was full of anxiety.
"The conscription orders have all come down, is this still fake?" The old man of the Zhou family had a gloomy face, he still expected this son to develop the family business well, but he didn't expect to receive a conscription order in a blink of an eye.
"Dad, can you think of another way! Take a walk, don't let Ronghua go. Zhou Ronghua's wife, tears rippled.
"What do you say? As an imperial soldier, it is my Zhou Ronghua's obligation to participate in the war for the country in response to His Majesty's order, how can I be a deserter? Otherwise, how can I face my former comrades? Zhou Ronghua reprimanded with a dark face.
"Well, worthy of my son. Daddy believes that you won't be so short-lived! Go to the battlefield, go to make a contribution, and come back with a fame. While my father is still young, my father will manage the affairs of the family! Old Man Zhou said.
"Thank you, Dad, don't worry, my son will come back safely!" Zhou Ronghua's face was full of confidence.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Ronghua said goodbye to his family and went to the recruitment point to report. Before retiring from the army, he was already an Imperial Major officer. After re-enlisting this time, he was directly appointed as a major battalion commander, leading a battalion of troops into battle.
The same scene happened throughout the land of China. Countless farmers, herders, merchants, workers, and government workers have received conscription orders. Their reactions were almost identical, and they all put down their jobs, said goodbye to their families, and went to the recruiting point to report.
Although they have been retired for several years, they are all soldiers of the Empire, and in their bones, they still have the iron and blood of soldiers.
Gray-haired parents bid farewell to their sons, wives holding their children bid farewell to their husbands, and sons bid farewell to their fathers. Countless people, with the expectations of their families and the country, re-entered the barracks. They will take to the battlefield and fight for the future of the empire. Even though many people will spill blood on the battlefield, no one is afraid and regretful. Everyone knows that being able to have such a good life now is completely brought about by His Majesty the Emperor. Once the empire loses the war, everyone knows very well what the consequences will be in the future. In this large-scale war, the Empire must achieve final victory.
"Your Majesty, all the conscription points are full, and in addition to those who have received the conscription order, there are quite a few imperial youths who want to join the imperial army. It seems that the common people are very supportive of the empire! General Sun Hao, Chief of the General Staff, had a happy look on his face.
"Hmm!" Long Yufei nodded, this was perhaps what he was most proud of.
"This conscription is tentatively for those who have received a conscription order. As for the rest of the youth, the students do not consider it for the time being, their task is to study. Others, the General Staff should prepare for the second batch of additional troops! Long Yufei said. A hundred infantry corps, more than three million troops, seems like a lot. But once the war begins, all fronts will be unfolded, and the Empire's army is nothing at all when it is put on the battlefield.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Chief of the General Staff, General Sun Hao, nodded.
"Are the 1st and 2nd armies ready? Once the war starts, it's up to them to watch. Long Yufei asked. Now the Empire has made up its mind that it will be the Empire that will provoke the war first. Then, Russia, which is the main target of the Empire's attack, will be the first to bear the blow of the Empire. The 1st and 2nd armies were the main forces of the Reich's attack on Russia.
"Your Majesty, the 1st and 2nd armies have entered their intended positions, and the Russians do not seem to have noticed our movements. After the battle began, the 8th Army would quickly rush to the front. The 9th and 10th armies in the mainland will also go to the battlefield in the shortest possible time! Admiral Sun Hao said.
In order to be able to defeat Russia in one fell swoop, the Imperial Army did its best this time. In addition to the 1st and 2nd Armies, which were the first to enter the battlefield, the 8th, 9th, and 10th Armies were to be involved in the battle against Russia. 5 armies, a total of millions of troops. And that's just the first troops. After the subsequent mobilization is completed, the empire will definitely invest more troops in order to defeat Russia.
The Chinese Empire directly mobilized for war, which directly shocked the countries of the world. Once mobilization begins, this is tantamount to blatant preparations for war! (To be continued......)
