On December 24, 1913, when the Western world was celebrating the annual Christmas, the Emperor Wang Yuze went to the General Staff and attended a meeting attended by important generals of all branches of the military! Although the communication between China and the Western world is getting closer and closer, traditional Chinese are not interested in Western festivals. This is due to Wang Yuze's order to protect traditional culture, while absorbing advanced Western technology, some dross has been filtered to prevent the empire from finally opening up too much!

At the same time, China has also begun to export culture to foreign countries. In addition to East Asia, which has been influenced by China for thousands of years, the Americas and the Middle East have also been influenced by Chinese culture. Although the power of this kind of cultural aggression has not yet been revealed, its impact is undoubtedly stricter and more far-reaching than that of military aggression!

The meeting was scheduled to convene at half past nine in the morning, and Wang Yuze arrived at the General Staff Headquarters on time! At this time, all the dignitaries of the imperial party who participated in the meeting had arrived. In addition to the heads of the General Staff, the War Department, the Navy Department, and the Ministry of Defense, the meeting was attended by the commanders of the various army groups of the Army, the fleets of the Navy, and the deputy commanders of the Air Force. It can be seen how important this meeting is!

After Wang Yuze's arrival, the meeting officially began. At this meeting. Wang Yuze did not give too many instructions. Rather, the Chief of the General Staff was instructed Marshal Cai Yun. The meeting has officially begun! This time, he mainly came with ears! After the promotion ceremony half a month ago, he asked the heads of all departments and branches of the armed forces to start preparing the development plans of each branch of the armed forces in the next five years! And these development plans, in the end, were aimed at the war with Germany that was about to break out in a few years!

Military reform is a very important task, and after each war, China will conduct a post-war review to adjust the military in response to the problems found in the war, so as to ensure that it will be in the next war. The army is even stronger! In this world war, although China won the world war, it also exposed a lot of problems! And these problems have caused a lot of damage to the squadron. If these problems cannot be solved before the outbreak of the next war, perhaps in the future war, the squadron will have to pay more for it! And what Wang Yuze has to do is to solve these problems before a new war breaks out!

"Your Majesty, for this war. The General Staff conducted a detailed analysis! Although, the combat power of the army, navy and air force of the empire. Now it can be called the world's first! However, there is still a lot that could be improved! Among them, in terms of the army, the main group army has strong combat effectiveness, but the combat strength of the newly formed infantry division is relatively weak, and it can only undertake secondary combat tasks! The armored units formed by the army played an extremely powerful role in this war. But at the same time, for reasons of performance and tactics, the combat power of the armored forces needs to be further explored! Therefore, the General Staff was built yì, and the army in the coming years focused on strengthening the construction of armored and mechanized units! At the same time, with the further expansion of the empire's territory and colonies, the size of the empire's standing army also needs to be further expanded! Otherwise, it is impossible to defend the vast territory and overseas colonies of the Empire!

In terms of the navy, the number of capital ships owned by the navy has reached more than 50, which can be called the first in the world! However, a large part of them are old capital ships, and the General Staff built the YÌ Navy to eliminate a number of old battleships, leaving behind new battleships with powerful firepower. In addition, the power of aircraft carriers has also been fully demonstrated in this war. In the future, aircraft carriers, as well as the composition and tactics of the fleet formed with aircraft carriers as the core, and so on! It all needs to be summed up in the next few years! Finally, in addition to carrier-based aircraft units, shore-based aviation in the Navy also needs to be further strengthened.

In terms of the Air Force, due to the influence of the performance of the current aircraft, most of the fighters of the Air Force are tactical aircraft with a short range! And these tactical aircraft can hardly play the heavy task of destroying the enemy country! Therefore, in the future, the Air Force needs to build a strike force dominated by strategic aircraft with a longer range and a larger bomb load! In the future, the functions of the Air Force will also need to be changed, from assisting the army or navy in striking at the enemy to carrying out strategic strikes against the enemy country. Of course, this requires us to develop a new type of aircraft! However, this is also a proposal of the General Staff for the future development of the Air Force! "Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, said!

For the construction of the General Staff, Wang Yuze deeply agreed! The army focuses on the construction of armored units and mechanized units. The Navy, on the other hand, has an aircraft carrier fleet as its core, supplemented by battleship forces and submarine forces. The Air Force, on the other hand, focuses on building a strategic strike force, and a long air raid can bring down a country! These are the development directions of the army, navy and air force of the future empire!

"Do the branches of the military have any opinion on this?" Wang Yuze asked. The General Staff Headquarters has only given a directional proposal, and the specific implementation plan still needs to be responsible for all branches of the military! Of course, Wang Yuze also believes that in this war, all branches of the armed forces have also understood their own shortcomings. The next few years will be the time for all branches of the military to work hard to change these shortcomings!

"Your Majesty, the Army side very much agrees with the proposal of the General Staff! In this war, although the army won a heavy victory, it also showed a lot of problems! The War Department has already begun to work out solutions to these problems! In view of the current expansion of the empire's territory and colonies, the existing 11 army groups as the main force can no longer meet the defense needs of the empire, and the newly formed infantry divisions are relatively weak in combat effectiveness, so the army intends to increase the number of army groups to about 20! In addition, the training of the Imperial Reserve Force will be strengthened to ensure that new troops can be formed to exert even more powerful forces! In addition, the War Department will strengthen the building of armored units and mechanized units, and form a model in each group army with armored units as the core and mechanized units as an important component. It's just that the military expenditure of armored forces and mechanized troops is several times that of infantry units, and if the army's military spending cannot be increased, it will be difficult to carry out the reform of the army! Finally, the army demanded to create its own aviation. In this war, when the army was attacking, Yan zhòng relied on the support of the air force! However, for various reasons, the army could not get support in time when it was attacking! Therefore, it is imperative to form an aviation unit directly under the Air Force! Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, said! As early as the end of the war, the army proposed to form a directly subordinate army aviation, but because of the opposition of the air force, and the emperor Wang Yuze was unwilling to have a struggle for power between the army and the air force in the war, so the issue was temporarily shelved! Now that the war is over, the Army has had enough time to solve this problem!

Regarding the views put forward by the Minister of War Marshal Zhao Bowen, the Emperor Wang Yuze agreed. Armored and mechanized units cost the military three to five times as much as infantry units. Of course, their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of infantry units! From the bottom of his heart, Wang Yuze supports the army in building mechanized troops, but because of the financial resources of the empire, it is obviously unrealistic to build all the army units into mechanized troops! Therefore, Wang Yuze intends to build the army into a unit with mechanized troops as the fist, motorized troops as the mainstay, and infantry units as supplements! In five years, it should be possible to complete the initial transformation! In this way, when the next war breaks out, the combat power of the army will be increased explosively. In addition, the army formed its own aviation, which he also supported! Between the Air Force and the Army, there is a problem of coordination! Although many times the Air Force still cooperates with the actions of the Army, this is far less convenient than the Army having its own aviation! The Army Air Force, which consists of dive bombers, fighters and attack aircraft, can provide more direct fire support for the Army during the attack, which will help improve the Army's attack power! Especially when all countries have begun to vigorously develop armored forces, the attack power of air power against the enemy's armored forces will be even stronger!

"Your Majesty, the Navy plans to eliminate all capital ships with a caliber of 305 mm. In addition, only the 'Jianghe-class' heavy cruisers, 'Ningbo-class' light cruisers and 'Fuqing-class' destroyers will be retained, and the first few batches of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers will be sold to friendly countries or dismantled directly! At the same time, the Navy will also design various types of warships at the next level to ensure that when the next war breaks out, new warships will become the main force! Finally, the Navy will plan to form a new fleet with aircraft carriers as the core. And in the next few years, a new set of effective tactics will be explored! "Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said!

Wang Yuze nodded, aircraft carriers will undoubtedly become the protagonists of naval battles, and although battleships are still useful under specific conditions, they are no longer the main force in naval warfare!

"Your Majesty, the Air Force will focus on the development of long-range fighters and heavy bombers in the next few years! Make sure that in the next war, the Air Force will have a long-range strategic strike force! "Marshal Long Feiyu, Minister of Space, said! If a country can be defeated by strategic bombing alone, this is undoubtedly what the Air Force wants to see! (To be continued......)
