〖China's land is a boiling scene.

This national war is a war involving the whole nation. Whether materially or spiritually, the potential of this country has been almost tapped to the extreme.

The results of this war naturally belong to all citizens.

A series of structural tax adjustments, immigration policies, industrial and commercial guidance policies, land tax reform, economic development plans..., streamlining the foreign trade treaty system, coupled with the investment, appendage and subsidies made by the government and royal industries, have caused the entire country to fall into an unprecedented construction boom.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the once highly anticipated protagonist has already left the stage in a low-key manner and started a mileage that is not easy.

This is a heroic army.

They started in the southwest, and in the land of China that had been independent of the Central Plains since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they took the banner of "anti-France and save the country", and defeated the arrogant French colonial army twice: in the 19898, they resolutely went north and "expelled the mainland and restored China" as the banner to unify China, and defeated the Japanese invasion of China. They conquered Japan in the just-concluded Asian War, crushed Siam, wiped out the rebellion on the frontier, braved the wind and snow, and carried Siberia across thousands of miles, and finally took back all the farthest areas that the ancestors of China had once entered.

This is an unprecedented powerful force in Chinese history.

This is a national force that focuses on national interests, national will as the top priority, and bayonets are external.

They never failed, and never even achieved peace without victory.

In the short thirty years of the establishment of the army, they have gained many honors and achievements that historical strong army have not yet obtained: in terms of opening up the territory, they surpassed the ancient Greek Alexander the Great, and were no less than the prosperous Méng Yuan: in terms of the number of enemies annihilated, the enemies they eliminated in thirty years exceeded the results of other armies for a hundred years: in terms of the record, they defeated all four wars, wiped out one powerful enemy country after another, and pushed the nation and the country to the peak of history.

They are worthy of their name: 〖China Team〗**.

But now this army has to face the most cruel reality: disarmament.

Although many troops were temporarily formed and expanded before the war, they have experienced extremely cruel battles and have long become a tenacious and tenacious fighting group. They cherish honor and love their military flags and their troops. For their comrades, they would rather give their own everything.

They came, fought and bleeded, and cried, watching many of their comrades die.

After repeated trials, they all changed from farmers, workers, students, and citizens to the same substance: soldiers.

But today, most of them must take off their military uniforms, say goodbye to themselves until they fight and bleed, and add glorious military flags with their blood, and say goodbye to their comrades who share life and death.

Many of these iron-blooded men who are as tough as steel have become used to separation from life and death and vow not to cry again. But when they bid farewell to the military flag and comrades, they all cried like children.

They miss homesick.

They long for warm beds, the warmth of their families, the wife and children they have not met for a long time, and also hope to join the surging craze of China.

But at this moment of parting, they realized that their hearts had long been firmly tied to this blood-stained red.

"Soldiers shed blood but not shed tears" is just not the time to part.

One by one, the honorable numbers were cut off, and once they fought from the ancient grasslands to Omsk, Vladivostok Sea Lan Basket team flags entered the military museum, or entered the warehouse of the National Defense Forces Reserve Force.

One by one, they once issued earth-shaking calls on time every day, and the red and green camps were surging, and the left-behind officers shouted at the fuck, and took the lonely orderly soldiers to fuck, speaking, calling out, and crying.

They have never missed their comrades so much, and missed their comrades and brothers who whistled together with various accents, read family letters, fucked their fathers and cursed them together, and stole military commanders and the enemy's bayonets together.

The soldiers shed blood and wrote legends, and now it is time to end.

Novosibirsk.

The 4th Motorized Brigade of the National Defense Forces.

Xiao Lan, the new leader of the Third Regiment, still had some frostbite scars left on his face from the hiking expedition in Siberia under the wind and snow. He was carrying a horse whip on his back, with his double tui spread out and looking straight ahead. Behind him were soldiers in neatly arranged, wearing military casual clothes and serious expressions, and in front of him was a fully armed defense military formation.

Xiao Lan was silent for a while and shouted loudly: "Stop!" The neat sound of stepping on the ground.

"It seems that I have not been shook my eyes by the art troupe, and it is still the tiger dragon of our National Defense Forces!" This man broke through the siege and fought against the mountains, captured Kropatkin alive, and passed the magical transmission of the National Defense Forces, "Xiao Wudi,... nodded, "I am going back to my hometown to get married now, you can listen to me, follow the deputy and chief of staff here, and practice combat skills! Motorization, what is motorcycleization? It is to let you have five soldiers of the armored division! Don't think that you have four more wheels for you to raise your uncle. If you want to be worthy of the words motorcycleized infantry, you will practice it for a short time!"

These soldiers selected from the B Group have long been used to this person's behavior, but they feel particularly comfortable. The legendary story of this famous person who came out of the border defense forces, who fought to the death after the Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces, broke through the siege, turned to the enemy's back, and captured Kropatkin alive, which has long forced these elites who have a look at people to convince.

Xiao Lan strode to the front of the team, turned around, and looked at the soldiers who had taken off their epaulettes, but the medals in front of the xiong were shining and serious.

"Today, I'm just leaving you for the time being. But these brothers on the other side are going to leave our troops from now on." Xiao Lan's voice choked slightly. He paused and said again... Everyone was a soldier, following the B group of Buk and came all the way from Irkutsk.

We are comrades, brothers, relatives, and now they are leaving. We are soldiers, and we must be soldiers like soldiers!”

"salute!"

With a whisper, the jungle of arms.

I choked and cried, and couldn't stop it.

"Send comrades and go on a journey, crying silently, ringing sounds in your ears, the road is long, and the vastness is gathered..." As the army singing, teams boarded trucks, carriages, or hiked, retreated from the blood-soaked land, walked out of the barracks that were closed for training after the war, and embarked on the mileage to return home.

They would then board the military ranks, return to their hometowns, and receive warm welcome from the people organized by the government, as well as their relatives and neighbors.

They are heroes.

At the end of the drama, the former knights and heroes are still playing back in their life of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

No matter how invincible they were on the battlefield, they were still just ordinary citizens in a peaceful world.

Only they themselves know best that everything that has changed them forever.

They are soldiers.

It's always just a battlefield.

"…The draft draft formulated by the Army Department is to retire four generals, twelve generals, thirty-four lieutenant generals, eighty-three major generals, and one hundred and eighty-nine colonels..." Beijing, China Palace.

Emperor Zheng Yu quietly listened to Cen Chunxuan, the deputy chief of the Army Department, on the opposite side, read the script.

"Under the opinions of the Army Department, through a large proportion of officers to be transferred to reserve, on the one hand, it will reduce the funding burden of the army, reduce redundant staff, and avoid bureaucracy caused by unclear rights and responsibilities. On the other hand, it can free up space for new officers, especially those with new military ideas. The scale of the army has been reduced, and many command positions in wartime are unnecessary, and many numbers have been revoked. Some logistics propaganda institutions established due to war needs to be laid off. Instead of staying in the army and wasting talents, these people should be transferred to other positions in national construction."

Yu nodded, "This specific plan will be discussed first, but I agree with the idea. Retirement is one aspect, and it is okay to transfer to the border military reclamation, or to transfer to the mobile police. By the way, it is not a problem for the mobile police to belong to Zhao Bingjun. I think it is better to divide the military, political and provincial governments of each Governor's area and border defense directly into the military, political and provincial areas. Don't call it a mobile police, just call it a security police, which is specifically responsible for internal security, border patrols and anti-drug issues in each border area. Aren't the old Russians restricting our army in the border area? I won't join the army, but I will join the police and reclamation regiment. Weapons and border areas need to be rectified. Light and heavy machine guns are needed, grenades and grenades are needed, infantry artillery and mortars must also be used. The horse bandits over there are strong... There are 100,000 people, which should be enough."

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise." Cen Chunxuan knew that this matter would cause another storm, but he didn't want to dig deeper, so he continued to prepare the topic he prepared. "In addition, the Army Department is preparing to reform the salary system. After all, according to the plan..., the overall external environment of the empire will be eased in the next five to ten years, and it will not be as great as the war pressure before. Since Your Majesty wants to focus on economic development, the army must also take the initiative to adapt." Zheng Yu listened quietly.

"There are three problems with the original military salary system: First, the level difference is too large. The original military salary is too large. For example, soldiers are seven yuan per month, while the second lieutenant reaches twenty yuan, the major general reaches one hundred yuan, and the marshal reaches three hundred yuan." Cen Chunxuan said, "From the top marshal to the bottom, there are as many as forty-three times, and the difference in various welfare benefits is even more indescribable.

The reason why this mechanism was implemented back then was simply because soldiers were easy to find, but difficult to find officers.

But now that education is booming, and the country is not threatened by immediate war, it is urgent to straighten out the salary system."

"The Army Department means that it is to give the following salary increases or to give the above salary cuts?"

"Basic wages, soldiers need to be reduced in small amounts, and officers need to cut them vigorously. The more they are reduced, the more they are." Cen Chunxuan said. At present, the basic wages are planned to be based on normal military age (median within the rank), soldiers are six yuan per month, lieutenant 12 yuan, major 25 yuan, major general 50 yuan, general 80 yuan, and marshal 150 yuan." "Will such a reduction affect the morale of the army?" "This is the next question I want to talk about, the military allowance and subsidy system." Cen Chunxuan said respectfully, "The subsidy system before our army was basically resident allowance and wartime allowance. It is mainly that soldiers serving in the border area increased their salary by 15 yuan, and wartime allowances by 5 yuan.

The Ministry of Army decided to adopt a more reasonable and complete subsidy and subsidy mechanism for this reform.”

"Basically, the new subsidy mechanism is divided into five types: first, the military subsidy. This subsidy is mainly for different types of troops with different missions, and each has its own subsidy amount. For example, the flight soldiers are the most dangerous and hardest, and naturally the highest: the airship soldiers are second, and then the engineers and mine decommissioners."

"Second, technical position allowance. This allowance is mainly for soldiers and sergeants of various technical branches. Passing technical examinations at all levels, you can obtain technical seals and obtain additional subsidies. In addition, income subsidies are also issued to certain technical personnel, mainly to make up for the income gap between military medical and other technical personnel and those with the same profession in society, and they are more flexible."

"Third, price subsidies. They mainly focus on rising prices and keep a close eye on commodity retail price index. They are revised every year. If prices fall, reverse corrections must be made."

"Fourth, resident allowance. It is mainly for service personnel in remote areas and harsh natural conditions, such as Hezhong, Siberia, Tibet, Chukochi, Kamchatka, desolate islands, etc.." "Fifth, wartime allowance."

"Among these five subsidies, the proportion of soldiers is high. Due to the superior welfare conditions and the proportion of subsidies, senior officers are also conducive to absorbing and retaining excellent technical talents through technical positions and military subsidies, and can also stab ordinary soldiers and non-commissioned officers to learn professional skills more hard. These allowances are not available for senior officers. For example, the engineer commander will not clear mines personally, and there are basically no opportunities for flying colonels or above to take off to fight."

"What is the final level?"

"According to the total income level of ordinary soldiers in China, soldiers are generally 25% higher than workers of the same level, and the officer class is generally more than 15%. They can also obtain the right to vote and be elected. They have a better way out of the army and are still attractive to talents. In the army, the rank difference between marshals and soldiers is slightly shorter than 16 times, and the difference between them and officers is reduced to eight times, which is generally within the normal category."

"This is the change" Zheng Yu drank tea and said slowly, "The elite staff of the General Staff suffered the most losses? They are willing?" "The military, political and military orders are separated, and this is the beginning and end of the Army." Cen Chunxuan bowed. "Minister Jiang Sheng supports this reform. With his influence, he will never cause too much storm. Remote control command thousands of miles away from the war zone is still much more comfortable than climbing ice and snow in front."

Zheng Yu thought for a while and nodded: "This matter will be settled for now. Does the Army have other reform intentions?"

"There is another part, which is the promotion of officers." Cen Chunxuan said, "The original promotion system, due to the preparation and war, requires efficiency first, focuses on military merits and talents and power, in addition to the appointment of general-level officers, most of them are responsible for the Ministry of National Defense, Army and even the Front Army. Especially in wartime, the ranks are awarded directly, and the major is directly handed over to the Front Army for handling. Due to excessive downward authorization, in order to encourage troops to fight in wartime, the ranks are excessive. Although there is rectification after the war, it is not easy to hurt the morale of the army too much. Some people who have been promoted too fast can only lower them a little."

"Now the country's foreign troubles are eased, and there is no such urgent situation in the military, so the Army Department feels it is necessary to adjust the promotion and evaluation mechanism for officers as soon as possible." Cen Chunxuan said, "The Army Department plans to revise the maximum period of no promotion and elimination for officers at all levels. For example, officers were not promoted to reserve within fifteen years, but are currently revised to ten years. Anyone who has been over ten years must re-evaluate whether they have been promoted or transferred to reserve, otherwise they will be converted to reserve. In addition, the upper limit of the service age of officers at all levels must also be reduced to strengthen the army's metabolism and reserve more reserve officers for wartime."

"The most important thing is promotion. The currently revised plan is to limit too fast promotion through the minimum military age and minimum rank age to avoid dissatisfaction and unfair competition within the army. For example, the lieutenant is promoted to a minimum of one year for lieutenant, at least two years for military age, the lieutenant is promoted to a minimum of one year for captain, at least three years for military age: the lieutenant is promoted to a major, at least five years for military age, etc. As for the military ranks that have been determined before, they are not listed."

"In terms of promotion selection, in peacetime, officers are promoted and selected in January, and the best will be promoted. All lieutenants and lieutenants or above need to be reviewed by a special review committee, and there must be no less than 11 members. The number of promotions for officers is limited. In addition to the review of the review committee, the promotion of officers and officers above must be approved by the Ministry of National Defense and then handed over to His Majesty for decision. All appointments of generals and above also need to be approved by the Senate."

Cen Chunxuan talked one by one, but Zheng Yu just listened and was not in a hurry to express his opinions.

Until Cen Chunxuan finished speaking, Zheng Yu drank the tea and smiled slightly: "Yunjie, the idea and concept of this plan are excellent. However, I think it is better to wait a little if you want to implement it."

"Disarmament is the first priority now, and things must be done step by step, and you cannot be too tempted." Zheng Yu stared at Cen Chunxuan. "Even if the external environment is eased now, the military affairs are related to the safety of the country. Be careful. First, do the disarmament, set the retired soldiers, rectify the troops, and plan the defense zone... well, the new command system and defense situation are stable, everything is straightened out, and then adjust the things inside."

Cold sweat was faintly flowing behind Cen Chunxuan.

Although Jiang Fenggen agrees with this matter and is mainly public, he and even others in the Army Department want to comply with the idea of ​​the young emperor. In their opinion, the new emperor resolutely defeated corruption, cut off local administrative power, and used tough measures to push the national war to a complete victory. Then he made a stubborn move in diplomacy, seized the favorable opportunity to quickly improve the country's external relations, and then vigorously promoted the Huaxing First Five-Year Plan, which shows that he was a great master who was determined to do a great cause for the eternal.

Any such monarch would naturally not be considered mediocre. The Army Department is a newly established organization, and the most outstanding in the national war is the General Staff Department responsible for military orders. Although the Army Department is nominally a military and political department, and is one level higher than the military order department, it does need to do something to establish its prestige.

But when he tried his best to come up with such a plan, he thought that the emperor would praise him and quickly implement it, but he did not expect that it would be such a tepid result. Cen Chunxuan was a little discouraged, but he was alert.

"Yunjie, the Army Department needs to do things and reform the accumulated problems, and I support it." Zheng Yu naturally knew the thoughts of these people, but he had no intention of revealing them. "But the military affairs must be stable now. As long as the army is not in chaos and implements the new national defense outline, we must first improve the new national defense situation and implement the new order. If our foundation is stable, we will have confidence in everything we do."

"When doing things under my hands, you must think from the actual point of view, and don't think about what you think." Zheng Yu said slowly, "I took you to be loyal, but I can do things without being steadfast, and dare to speak out in a blunt way, not blindly follow, and have opinions. I want this kind of Cen Chunxuan. Do you know?"

“Yes, your Majesty.
