Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1005

[Chapter 998 Military Industry System]

“Young and promising…”

Fiji was about to refute, but suddenly closed his mouth. He suddenly realized a problem. Zhu Sansi was promoted by Xiao Ming himself, and he immediately figured out the connection.

Xiao Ming was waiting for Fiji to speak. When he saw that he suddenly stopped talking, he still understood that Fiji had figured it out and why he did what he did.

Since ancient times, military power has been a thorny issue. If it is not handled properly, it will be doomed. The purpose of setting up six military regions is not only to facilitate scheduling, but also rarely to restrict each other.

If there is a problem in one military district, he still has five military districts to deal with it, so that he will not end up with everyone facing the enemy.

Therefore, he cannot take the risk of letting the Luo family control both military regions at the same time, because this will cause an imbalance.

As for why Zhu Sansi was selected, the reason was very simple. He wanted to break the solidification of the military hierarchy and let ordinary soldiers see the hope of promotion, instead of letting his army fall into the embarrassing situation of a general family controlling the army again.

“Mr. Fei Ge, do you have any objections?” Xiao Ming asked again.

“Back to the Emperor, I have no objections,”

Fiji said cautiously. Military matters have always been extremely sensitive. Generally speaking, Xiao Ming rarely discussed military affairs with them. After all, the military and political affairs were separated and they had no right to interfere.

Xiao Ming obviously meant to test when he asked today.

“Well, since you have no objections, the matter is settled. Niu Ben and Luo Quan have both signed this document. You can also sign one each.” Xiao Ming showed a wicked smile and added the names of the Six Military Regions. The folds were spread out on the table.

Pang Yukun and Fiji looked at each other helplessly. Their emperor was becoming more and more cunning. The name of the four of them was changed into this army, which meant that this decision was jointly discussed by them. Those powerful children whose interests were harmed arrived. I’m afraid it’s time to come and scold me.

But even so, they had to sign. Who would let the person in front of them be the emperor?

With a sad face, Pang Yukun and Fiji wrote their names on the military reform package and were allowed to go back.

After the two left, Qian Dafu said, “Your Majesty, Pang Shoufu and Fei Ge are still the same. They seem to be in harmony but have a different heart.”

“That’s right. It’s strange for them to wear the same pair of trousers.” Xiao Ming has now given up on mediating the relationship between the two.

Because he found that everything was in vain. Both of them were important ministers of the country, but the interest groups behind them were different. This contradiction was irreconcilable.

This situation is quite similar to electoral parties in Western countries, which serve the same monarch but represent the interests of different classes.

Therefore, his only requirement for the two of them is that they cannot harm the interests of the country, otherwise he will not give face to no matter who they are.

Qian Dafu laughed softly, “Your Majesty is right, it would be troublesome if all the courtiers wore a pair of trousers.”

After a pause, he said happily: “In this battle on the grassland, the Golden Horde is over. Now it’s just …

The most important thing about the fish on the chopping board is that from now on, these thousands of miles of grassland will be the empire’s racecourse. “

Xiao Ming laughed when he heard this. Although the Sixteenth State of Yanyun is an excellent pasture, it is a waste to use these areas as pasture. , after all, in later generations, this place was rich in resources and an important industrial area.

Now that the Chinese Empire has vast grasslands, the grasslands of Yanyun Sixteen States can be transferred to rebuild a prosperous city here.

Thinking of this, he said: “The Battle of the Grassland proved that the era of cavalry is over, and the era of large-scale horse breeding is also coming to an end, so I am only planning to retain a limited number of horse farms and turn more horse farms into cattle farms, and Or a dairy farm? Strive to make every citizen of the Chinese Empire drink milk. ” Cow?”

Qian Dafu

has never heard of it. “The old slave has only heard of scalpers, but he has never heard of cows.”

“This cow is called Holstein-Friesian, and its place of origin is the Netherlands. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in contact with the Dutch Embassy to introduce some cows from the Netherlands. If it is not enough, I am also planning to import it from other European countries.”

“It turns out to be from the Netherlands, but this Dutch Fortunately, other European countries may…” Qian Dafu shook his head, feeling a little impossible.

Xiao Ming understood Qian Dafu’s thoughts. He said: “Don’t think that if I defeat the United Fleet, the relationship between the European countries and the Great Chongqing will drop to a freezing point. On the contrary, they will send envoys here soon, and I will have many ways to deal with it by then. “Them!”

Qian Dafu showed a knowing smile, saying that people on the grassland have been strong since they grew up drinking goat’s milk and horse’s milk. If the people of Chongqing can drink milk, their bodies will be stronger than those of the barbarians.

The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Ming looked at the world map in front of him again. Now a large area of red was drawn on the map. These red areas are the areas currently controlled by the Great Chongqing Kingdom, from Heilongjiang in the far north to the south. The ocean reached the Philippines and Malacca.

From the Japanese Sea in the east to Goryeo, and all the way to the west to the contemporary Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia prairie, the outline of the Chinese Empire is now gradually becoming fuller.

The remaining areas that have not been completed are the contemporary Xinjiang area and the Tubo area. The former can be recovered immediately, while the latter is a little more troublesome.

However, he is sure of victory in this, because he can take it at any time. The most important issue now is to complete the military reform, and at the same time deploy machine guns to every regiment-level unit and reserve large quantities of ammunition.

As the saying goes, sharpening the sword will not waste time cutting wood. Only when the army is sharpened can the next war be as powerful as a cannon.

Moreover, his next main enemies are in Europe. These troublemakers have been causing trouble to him for so long, so he should be treated as a cat and playing tricks on these European mice.

Thinking of this, he drafted an oral order and asked Qian Dafu to find Yang Chengye. Now Yang Chengye is mainly responsible for industrial production, including military industry.

With the use of metal bullets, military production capacity has become seriously insufficient. He wants to expand the scale of military factories, refine military production, and separate ammunition production lines, firearms production lines, and artillery production lines to establish a more systematic and comprehensive military industry system.

cabinet.

After receiving Xiao Ming’s order, Yang Chengye immediately took action. The next day, he summoned mainstream figures in the military industry, including Song Changping, Chen Qi, Lu Tong, Zhang Liu and others.

After telling everyone Xiao Ming’s oral instructions, he said: “The ammunition consumption in this battle on the grassland was serious. It can be said that we almost used up all our reserves during this period. One battle on the grassland caused our ammunition to run out. If we face a larger war, our firearms and artillery will become decorations on the battlefield, and our soldiers will face life threats. Although you and I will not go to the battlefield, logistics is the guarantee of the army’s combat effectiveness, so everyone This time, you will work with me to establish a complete military industry system and classification to ensure the supply of ammunition. “
