The former General Staff of the South China, the current General Staff of the Imperial General Staff, and the heads of the Navy and Army looked at each other.

Especially the Navy, Zhao Jiaxing thought he was here to make up the numbers, but the situation seemed to be wrong!

"The war is over, and this battle finally won through diplomacy." Liu Yiming slowly flipped through the documents.

"We have ten army divisions, two artillery brigades, the Oman First Division, two self-propelled artillery battalions, and a large number of construction corps divisions and militia units, but in the Battle of Kuwait, only seven thousand people were able to fight."

Liu Yiming glanced at everyone.

"Your Majesty..." Yang Tao wanted to explain, but Liu Yiming waved his hand to stop him.

"Listen to me first!"

"You guys don't blame you for this. I didn't grasp the bottom line of the Ottomans, but this also exposed a problem:

We have a strong army, extremely dependent on logistics, and in the previous battles, we had plenty of time to store and transport supplies, covering up our actual lack of capacity.

Xie Hui, if you have sufficient ammunition supplies, how many people do you need to win the Battle of Kuwait?" Liu Yiming asked.

"The General Staff reviewed this battle. According to comprehensive intelligence, the enemy lacked large-caliber automatic weapons, had old tactics, and lagged behind in artillery. If it was a field battle, the Omani First Division could completely defeat the enemy alone." Xie Hui said directly without any hesitation.

Liu Yiming had no doubt that the Omani First Division was a light field mechanized division. If you fight field wars, you will be able to fight mobile wars. The Ottomans could not stand it at all.

But in Kuwait, the power of the Omani division is too scattered. The artillery must ensure the offensive ability of the Arab Legion, and the trucks are also rated to the Arab Legion and Turev. Half of the armored vehicles are in Turev, and they also have to defend Kuwait, with insufficient troops, mobility and firepower.

"So, the army has strong combat effectiveness. In order to better play the role of the army, I changed the defense mode." Liu Yiming signaled everyone to open the document.

"Divid zones are divided into six major zones as a whole.

Hawaii defense zone, Arab defense zone, Luzon defense zone, Borneo defense zone, Java defense zone, and Eastern defense zone.

Among them, east of Sulawesi, to the island of Guinea, is an eastern defense zone, with its headquarters in Guinea, and its mission is to monitor and protect the British and German colonies.

The Java defense zone includes Java Island, Sumatra Island, and affiliated islands, and its resident islands.

There are two stations in Borneo, one of which is in Brunei, guarding against the British.

Ryukyu divides the navy and only sets up coastal defense regiments.”

"Each defense zone guarantees the power of one division, and the remaining power is concentrated in Java, and it is mobilized as needed. Each division rotates its base on time. Do you have any opinions?" Liu Yiming put down the plan and looked at everyone.

"The Navy has no objection!" Zhao Jiaxing stood up.

"No objection." Wang Yang was a little hesitant. If it was just the division of defense zones, there was no need to prepare us, right?

"The Army gradually carried out mechanized modifications, increased maneuverability, and improved reaction speed to cope with more complex situations. This year, there will be 32 million equipment procurement funds to be used to add equipment." Liu Yiming gave a sweet date first.

"Then the relationship is good." Xie Hui was happy and Liu Yiming smiled.

Looking at this smile, Wang Yang instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Now talk about the Navy." Liu Yiming opened another document.

"From the perspective of gross tonnage, we are already the fifth navy in the world, but most of them are destroyers with smaller tonnages and more than 3,000 tons of warships. We only have one battleship and nine armored cruisers, which is no longer enough." Liu Yiming said the more he was, Zhao Jiaxing became more excited.

"According to the plan, the second Dahan-class battleship will be started this year, and the construction cycle is expected to be three years, but the biggest function of the battleship is deterrence." Liu Yiming flipped through the documents.

"According to the government's demands and feedback from the previous medium-sized cruisers, the Admiralty Department came up with a draft within a week to build six first-class cruisers with a speed and range of 3,000 to 4,000 tons. The speed and range must be kept up." Liu Yiming looked at the harmonious scene and felt a little moved.

"Due to development reasons, military expenditure will not increase much in the next few years. After completing the dressing, the army's military expenditure will return to a normal level of about 22 million yuan, but with the support of the Construction Corps, it can be passed." Liu Yiming stared at everyone.

Xie Hui looked frightened, Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Xu was pondering, Yang Tao was taking notes, and Zhao Jiaxing smiled embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty, this..." Xie Hui tilted his head, not to mention being wronged, he had made many plans and was short of money.

"We are originally island countries, and the navy's development priority is high. In the past ten years, the army's military expenditure has been higher than that of the navy, which is not normal." Liu Yiming sorted out the documents and stood up.

"This is a national policy. I have given 32 million equipment payment this year. Instead of complaining, it is better to think of a way to do this, kill the price, and make some money left for emergency response." Liu Yiming smiled and said, "Zhao Jiaxing, come to my office."

Liu Yiming took Zhao Jiaxing out, and Xie Hui looked at him in the conference room.

"Why don't you object?" Xie Hui stared at Wang Yang. Wang Yang is an old man, and Yang Tao has made great achievements in military affairs.

"I've seen your plan, but it's useless!" Wang Xu interrupted directly, "Why do you keep 30 divisions in regular army during peacetime? So much money is there to support?"

"The Navy is not our transport team. The Navy's mission is to ensure local security and ensure smooth waterways. It is too natural for you to make the Navy our transport team."

"To be honest, Your Majesty is surprised enough to maintain this standard army." Old God Wang Yang said.

"You all know that you want to disarmament?" Xie Hui stared at everyone suspiciously.

"This is not a disarmament. I ask you, what is the main force in protecting Nanhua?" Yang Tao said.

"This..." Xie Hui was silent. The army could build positions and forts on the shore, but it was up to the navy to protect Nanhua.

"Hawaii cannot give up, Arabia cannot give up, the army can only stick to it, the navy can support it, give up those unrealistic plans, think carefully about how to spend the 32 million yuan." Yang Tao did not raise his head and continued to write and draw on paper.

"This money is enough for each division to have an armored battalion, after all, mechanization must be considered." Yang Tao looked at Wang Xu.

"Enough, the tank troops have strong assault capabilities and can be used as a fist for concentrated breakthroughs." Wang Xu nodded.

"Then, if there is a war? Is there insufficient troops?" Xie Hui continued.

"Are you stupid in Germany? We have 30 million people, and there are 30 million reserves who have received basic training, and at least six million people are trained once a week.

The militia of the Construction Corps is trained seven days a month, and can go to the battlefield after one month of emergency training! If you forget the basics of the army, then you should teach military theory early!" Wang Yang said disappointedly.

"Basically speaking, we are the fifth naval power, surpassing Japan, and are only a few thousand tons away from getting up. However, most of the ships are small ships, with poor ocean-going capabilities and limited combat effectiveness." Liu Yiming chatted with Zhao Jiaxing while walking.

"Your Majesty, are you going to change your naval strategy?" Zhao Jiaxing asked.

"Absolutely, now we need more external influence." Exercising influence is not war, but deterrence.

The purpose is achieved through visits, negotiations, fraud, intimidation, etc.

Obviously, it is impossible to achieve the above goals for a 1,000-ton destroyer, and it is not easy to obtain a 3,000-ton cruiser, because now, every country has two brushes, and Nanhua has little influence on the outside.

"Build another cruiser fleet, eliminate six small and medium-sized cruisers, and build three large cruisers. Go and refer to the Dahan class and don't give me some waste designs." Liu Yiming said.

The reason why the dreadnought is an epoch-making design is that since then, it has influenced the design of battleships, cruisers, and even artillery destroyers.

Liu Yiming didn't want Zhao Jiaxing to give him the last design: pile up a bunch of different types of artillery, which would be of low cost performance. After all, is there any air defense demand now?

"That fund... our funds this year only reserve the cost of submarine research and development, which is not enough..." Zhao Jiaxing stammered and asked for money.

"You want money! Don't shivering!" Liu Yiming sighed: "This year you think of a solution, don't think I don't know, the Navy has a small vault."

"That's the backup fund. Your Majesty, I'm in the Navy like this...I..." Zhao Jiaxing almost jumped up. It was saved by the Navy for a cent.

In order to save money, the Navy's main meat food was fish. It made a net at the end of the patrol. In order to improve the taste, it also set up its own breeding farm, breeding pigs and chickens and ducks from the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Navy usually grows the fruits he eats themselves, and there are vegetable gardens next to the house.

Of course, the big head is the capture of pirates. Since ancient times, there have been many pirates in the Southeast Asian Archipelago, and the main task of the navy is to fight pirates.

"I'll make you advance money and I'll make you more money next year!" Liu Yiming said.

Zhao Jiaxing expressed doubts, but nodded under Liu Yiming's gaze.

"Why are the Navy keeping money? It's not a child." Liu Yiming laughed when he saw Zhao Jiaxing nodding.

"Enhance the performance of each ship, such as changing the main gun for the Five Mountains, the new 45 times 203 mm power has increased by 17..." Zhao Jiaxing really said it.

"Tell me about the difficulties of the navy!" Liu Yiming quickly stopped Zhao Jiaxing.

"There are too few ocean-going ships, like destroyers. When conducting ocean-going navigation, supply ships must follow, and there are not many high-speed supply ships. Moreover, after using steam turbines, warships have to burn coal, and the sea supply is much slower than replenishing diesel."

"Also, the Japanese are becoming more and more annoying. There are often fishing boats going south. We drove out a few times, but there are too many to stop them."

"And..." Zhao Jiaxing said honestly.

"Wait! What about the movements of the Japanese fleet?" Liu Yiming frowned. After all, Japan's actions were probably related to Britain and the United States.

With such close cooperation between South and France, Britain and the United States are very problematic at the moment of peace.

"The Japanese fleet has not changed. Our warships confronted the Japanese warships from time to time on the dividing line, but there was no further action, which involved a lot of force." Zhao Jiaxing said.

"The Japanese army's strength has expanded too quickly, so let them send a secret envoy to negotiate." Liu Yiming thought for a while and had to make a plan for Japan, and take advantage of the Russian-French alliance.
