"The task of the empire in the next five years can be summarized into twenty-four words: Xingshang Shang,

Disarmament costs, building roads, changing culture, expanding education, rewarding colonization, increasing fairness, and reducing tax burdens.”

As early as April, seeing that the overall situation was decided, Zheng Yu clearly proposed the general outline of national construction in the next five years, known as the "Twenty-Four-word Key", at the core level meeting of the base camp, and arranged for each group to draw poisonous people to formulate plans separately.

After the peace agreement was concluded, the state of war ended, and the first one was issued was released on July 1st. The "Empire National Defense Outline 1906-1910" jointly drafted by the Army and the General Staff, and approved by the emperor. The actual leader was Du Zhi, the former military officer of the Imperial Department, Li Mingren, the Director of the First Department of the Army, and Ning Guochen, the new Director of the First Department of the Navy.

Based on Chen Huan's performance in the war, Zheng Yu believed that this person was not suitable for controlling the overall situation, so he simply asked him to play pure academics and used this former Minister of the General Staff, Lu Da, as the deputy director of the teaching and research department of the Tactical Command Department.

Originally, Zheng Yu intended to make great contributions to suppressing the rebellion in Beijing and had good practical abilities, Li Mingren took over as General General Lu's department, but due to the separation of military, political and military orders, Zheng Yu weighed the pros and cons, and still asked Li Mingren to follow Jiang Sheng to the Army Department to serve as the director of the First Department, and handed over General General Lu's department to Kang Jian, the former chief of staff of the North Korean Front.

Disarmament itself was a matter agreed with the military before the war, that is, to use the so-called "advancement" to collect the military expenditure saved from post-war disarmament in advance to deal with the national war. Zheng Yu also used this arrangement to convince the military and the government at the same time and promoted the passage of the military supplies case.

However, after this earth-shaking national war, the glorious victory and fruitful results were achieved, far exceeding the expectations of the majority of citizens before the war. As a "total war" that the people widely participated in, under effective wartime control, the people suffered little damage to their interests, and the sense of honor obtained, even forced social security, industrial development, and a series of tax exemptions and aid issued after the war, which made the entire country fall into an unprecedented "war fanaticism". The people's treatment of war" jumped from fear and grief before the war to favor and even expectation. In addition, from the people to the military, the militarism of military power has also reached an unprecedented height.

The hearts of the people and the morale of the army are intertwined and brought with them tangible interests, making the entire disarmament issue seem even more harsh.

It is easy to say that the troops mobilized for the war are mobilized. Since He Yan and Haiqing have decided to disarmament again."

In addition to the outstanding performance, I also want to continue serving, including those who have made great contributions to the military academy, and the rest of the demobilization is. However, the Imperial Guards, which have rapidly expanded the organizational sequence in the war, also include a large number of National Defense Forces expanded for strategic deception purposes, and Xu Fan's fleet, which is really difficult to start. After all, this involves the grudges between the military, and behind them are several top bosses.

In addition, there is a more difficult problem: re-dividing military divisions.

Since the geopolitical situation of the entire empire changed completely after this war, the original military system obviously had to undergo major changes. The Hezhong, Xianbei Leah, Far East "North Korea, Japan, Siam and Pacific Islands all had to be deployed, which involved a large number of personnel arrangements and institutional changes.

With Du Zhi and Li Mingren as the emperor's deep background, he worked hard for a long time and submitted a plan to Zheng Yu for review: Army: (1) All the infantry and cavalry units of the Imperial Guards, the A, B and C, and the Marines that have been incorporated into the sequence are not abolished: (2) All the pre-war squadrons and squadrons have been expanded into divisions. (3) The newly formed Imperial Guards, the number is ten.

The latter four divisions, as well as the sixth, seventh and eighth third divisions, were all reorganized into brigades, and the 15th divisions, combined with the first and second independent brigades, were also reorganized into brigades: (4) The four infantry divisions expanded out of strategic deception were all retained, and the pre-war brigades were expanded into the restoration brigades of the B Division: (5) The eight marine divisions organized by the Marine Corps retained six, and the other two were reorganized into brigades, and two more were reorganized into brigades at the same time;

(6) The existing B-level standing divisions have all been upgraded to Class A divisions to improve combat effectiveness: (7) In order to strengthen control over the vast new territory, the already established garrison divisions are "responsible for local garrison matters, and the border defense forces have made garrison changes: (8) The new artillery troops are retained in heavy artillery and field artillery units, and the old artillery troops are retired from active service and become reserve artillery units: (9) The airship units are maintained, and the aviation units are expanded: (10) Advance

In one step, we will build new professional and comprehensive military academies at all levels, and within five years, two new army universities, six army middle schools, twelve professional army training schools, four military medical universities, and one professional national defense science and technology university: final organization, the Royal Guard troops: six standing infantry divisions, four shelf infantry brigades, and two heavy artillery brigades. In addition, four cavalry divisions and two cavalry brigades will be reorganized into four motorized divisions, with a total of 260,000 standing troops.

The National Defense Forces: Twenty-eight Class A Divisions, twenty-six Infantry Brigades, seven cavalry divisions, twelve Cavalry Brigades, ten heavy artillery brigades, seven border guard cavalry independent regiments, ten guard brigades, and four infantry divisions were adapted into motorized divisions, and four infantry brigades were adapted into motorized brigades, with a total of 680,000 permanent troops.

Marine Corps: six marine divisions, four brigades, plus the staff of Yaohan guards, bases, logistics, etc., a total of 200,000 people.

In addition to various colleges, civil service, mobilization and organization, medical military management, military supplies, research institutes and other personnel, not counting the Marine Corps and the Imperial Guards, the Army's chief executive has reached 800,000.

The entire army is divided into six major war zone commands in the west, middle of the river, south, east, northeast, and headquarters, respectively responsible for military command, dispatch and training within their respective jurisdictions.

The Western Command mainly includes the Xianbei Lisia area west of the Lena River: The Hezhong Command mainly includes the Hezhong Region: The Northeast Command mainly includes the entire Lena River east of the Lena River, including the coastal area: The Eastern Command mainly includes the Japanese, Ryukyu, Taiwan and the Pacific Region: The Southern Command includes Tibet, Indochina Peninsula, Nanyang, Guangdong and Guangxi, etc.: the rest are the headquarters.

In terms of equipment, in addition to the motorization of the A-type division, it is planned to further increase the organization of trucks, light machine guns, flamethrowers and mortars in various units within three years. It is also planned to add more exquisite radio communication equipment, telephones and telephone switches to the motorized division, and to reduce the proportion of 75 mm guns, increase the light firepower of infantry by 25%, and increase the amount of explosives at one volley of artillery by 50%.

In terms of construction, we are preparing to strengthen fortifications, garrison facilities, and build communication lines in the new border lines and key transportation hubs, lay out posts, minefields and warning areas.

The naval organization is even more heroic than that: by 1910 Qi, the "Imperial Navy will be composed of the following: the First Fleet: Zhoushan as its general base, and three squadrons are arranged in Yokosuka, Vladivostok and Zhoushan, including two Guangzhou-class, two Changsha-class, two Huncao-class, one Guilin-class, two Wenzhou-class, and four captured Russian-Japanese warships, a total of thirteen armored ships. Along with sixteen cruisers, eighteen destroyers, twenty submarines, and one seaplane-based mothership, the total displacement is 390,000 tons.

The imaginary enemy of the First Fleet is the American Fleet.

The Second Fleet: With Zhanjiang as the main base, Naha and Zhanjiang are equipped with three squadrons in Guam, including two modified battleships in Guangzhou, two Changsha-class battleships, four Wuhan-class battleships, two Siberian Tiger-class, two Baoding-class, three Hanoi-class, two Haikou-class, five captured Russian and Japanese battleships, a total of twenty-four armored ships, together with sixteen cruisers, twenty destroyers, twenty-four submarines, and a seaplane mothership, with a total displacement of 640,000 tons. The imaginary enemy of the Second Fleet is the British-French Fleet, including the reinforcement fleet after it may obtain reinforcements from the local area.

In addition, the Inland Guard Fleet "the entire army's displacement is 1.15 million tons, excluding the Marine Corps, a total of 120,000 serving personnel.

According to the outline calculation, the annual military expenditure of the National Defense Force, including reserve service, military education, administrative expenses, and annual equipment procurement expenses, is still as high as 500 million Chinese yuan per year even if the share of the occupied troops borne by the occupied areas and government supervision countries is deducted, while the annual net military expenditure of the Navy and the Marine Corps is 250 million Chinese yuan (excluding shipbuilding costs).

In line with this determination, from 1906 to 1910, the Navy needed to allocate a total of 400 million yuan in shipbuilding funds to build six Wuhan-class (Wuhan-class), as well as the construction costs of six Nanjing-class new battleships, as well as a large number of light cruisers, submarines, flat-deck aircraft carriers, transport ships, landing ships and various professional auxiliary ships.

A large number of warships such as the Hound-class and Mustang-class protective cruisers that have been in service for twenty years, and the Water Moon-class destroyers that have been in service for fifteen years will be eliminated.

Zheng Yu was almost fainted when he looked at this unprecedented huge plan. This is not a disarmament, it is simply a major expansion!

Zheng Yu withdrew his hands and asked these people to carry out disarmament plans by themselves, just to give full play to their initiative and activeness and reduce his intervention with too strong personal will. He knew that his energy was limited, and these things would still depend on the elite talents of this era.

But when he got this "disarmament plan...", he really had a strong impulse: to scold those "scholars" until they were in trouble.

Several elites from the army and navy were called to the Chinese Palace by Zheng Yu. Du Zhi knew that it would be bad when he saw Zheng Yu's face. In fact, he knew in his heart that if he made such a plan, he would definitely be thrown back. But the problem was that the pressure he was under was too great. If he wanted to continue within the army, he would not be able to take the initiative to take the initiative to make a harsh knife.

If anyone can really do it, the only one in front of him is the one.

"You say it yourself." Although Zheng Yu's tone was calm, several people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. "What's going on?" "The military expenditure is a little more," Li Mingren, who had already been detained in the title of Lieutenant General, said cautiously, "But now the country's territory has doubled, the new territory has been uneasy, and the great powers are also eyeing it. National defense construction cannot be too relaxed after all."

"It's OK." Zheng Yu sneered, "Mingren, tell me, the new territory is uneasy. Are you going to use a motorized division to slash the mob, or are you going to use a motorized division equipped with a six-inch to drag heavy artillery to fight the bandits riding Luoluo? The great powers are eyeing me? How many troops are there in Britain, Germany, France, Ogilvy and the United States? The Russians are too busy to take care of themselves, and the people from both the north and the south have to pay me so much war expenses. How many troops do you think he can still raise? What are your ideas for creating a million army and a million fleet?"

Zheng Yu was a little angry as he spoke: "I asked you to disarmament, not to let you make tricks to fool the people! The country has been withstood for so many years for the national war. The people have been under heavy taxes, and what they want is to win the national war. Now that the national war has won, you have to force me to repent, continue to increase taxes, and support this increasingly large army!"

Lee Mingren trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that when you resume the Congress, did you be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be prepared for any trouble."

When Zheng Yu heard this, he laughed without being angry: "Okay, I'm so proud of Li Mingren's favor."

He stared at Li Mingren, and his tone became colder and colder: "I asked you to be prepared for any trouble. What I mean is to stay alert at all times and not to mistake yourself. It is not to ask you to become more powerful and bully soldiers! You can see for yourself: it is not counted as the Imperial Guards, the military expenditure of the Army and Navy will be more than 800 million yuan a year! This year's tax revenue is only 2 billion. "Your military expenditure will account for half!"

"Look at the National Defense Force first, 28 Divisions A, four Motorized Divisions, which are equivalent to the Division B and the Cat Plan... All the four divisions added are upgraded." Zheng Yu sneered, "What a powerful National Defense Force. The current firepower, organization, organization, and combat power of the Division A are the best in the world." He will continue to refresh his combat power, build 152 and 105 howitzers, increase communication equipment, and large-scale equipment trucks and motorcycles. Let's look at the Royal Guards. You are worthy of my wallet. Six heavy infantry divisions, four motorized divisions, four shelf brigades, and two heavy artillery brigades, and the annual military expenditure is only 1.80 billion. You know that you will please the National Defense Forces and do not offend me." And the mud, expand together..."

"Your Majesty, we are also due to actual circumstances." Du Zhi saw Li Mingren's face turned pale and hurriedly rescued the siege. "The B Division of the National Defense Forces performed bravely in this battle, and it was natural to upgrade after the war. All the brigades fought bravely, but they could not be withdrawn. The cavalry corps made many great achievements, so they naturally could not be withdrawn. Besides, the country is so big, and they have to be stationed in several vassal states. Because of our strength this time, the great powers are eyeing them, and they are really inaccessible......"

Zheng Yu stared at him for a while and nodded: "Okay, you Du Mingzhe are also a shrewd person.

Well said."

After he finished speaking, he never looked at Du Zhi again and turned to Ning Guochen who replaced Liu Buchan," his tone slowed down: "Guochen, is the plan of the Marine Corps and the fleet from you?"

Guochen bowed respectfully. He knew that Zheng Yu was polite to him not because of him, but because of respect for Xu Fan. "Xu Shuai said, please check it out first after the preparation, and he can just look at the final plan.

Now this is completely a humble opinion and colleagues." "Well... one hundred thousand tons of combat ships, one hundred thousand tons..." Zheng Yu gently tapped the table, and his tone was amusing, "The empire's shipbuilding and naval military expenditures were astronomical, and the next step would be even more powerful, which has doubled the US Navy."

"Not twice." Ning Guochen added, "According to our calculations, by the year 0, the total tonnage of the US Navy will be at least 700,000 tons."

"Okay, very good." Zheng Yu nodded, "Let me ask you again, do you have to hold the pile of ragged ships in Japan and Russia? The Hanoi class has been in service for twelve years since the old year, and the design is old. This time, there are so many problems and you still have to be used as a main ship? Guilin class has many problems and is still on the front line? With such a large tonnage, do you plan to build it yourself or purchase part of it?"

"The Japanese and Russian warships are all served after a year of nap and can still be used at that time. Especially the Japanese Anyi, Mikasa, Asahi, Shikishima, Hatsuse, Russia's Duke Kutuzov, and Borodino are generally newer and still have value even after five years."

Ning Guochen said, "According to the world's commonly accepted retirement standards, it is normal for the main warship to serve for 20 years."

"The problem is that these warships are different from our army's standards." Zheng Yu shook his head. "Whether it is ship equipment, artillery standards, or internal cabins, the passages and electrical settings are different. The combat cooperation is also difficult and the speed is slow. The combat effectiveness of the real marshalling is reduced. Now they are repaired to supplement their combat power and shock Britain, France and the United States. In the future, there is no need to hold down these old goods when our new ships are brought up."

"I have contacted the Turkish Sultan court and are preparing to sell several Russian warships to them." As soon as Zheng Yu said, Ning Guochen was stunned. "Sultan is very interested. To put it bluntly, these Russian warships replaced with Turkish flags and appeared in the Black Sea, which is a great mockery of Russia. His Majesty the Sultan will not miss such a good opportunity... Moreover, they have already taken back some of the lost land in the Transcaucasus and need a powerful navy to shock the Russians. We have stock here and can slap the Russians in the face, so it is not difficult to make this choice. In fact, Russia has always wanted to, and the Turks are offering high prices. They also said that in addition to these stocks, they are also preparing to order new warships from the Empire."

Ning Guochen thought about it and couldn't help but nod. If he sold the old ship, he would naturally have to make up for the new ship. In this way, the navy not only did not suffer any losses, but also took advantage of it...
