    It was very hot in Beijing in July, and it felt like there was fire in the sky.  However, the entire city of Beijing is in full swing. The reconstruction of Beijing's old city has started last month. After the negotiation with Japan, the cabinet allocated 10 million yuan to reconstruct Beijing, striving to complete the first project within three months.  stage of transformation.  Within the next year, Beijing will be built into a city that contains both ancient meaning and modern flavor.

    Many poor people in Beijing are employed by the government. Although they are a little tired, the salary of 8 yuan per month and the salary of being in charge of meals at noon make most people flock to it.  Even many impoverished Manchus rushed to join them.

    After the negotiation with Japan ended, China won the final victory and gained huge benefits from Japan.  This plunged the whole country into jubilation.  Everything is developing for the better.  Now, what the people across the country are looking forward to is probably the new emperor's accession to the throne.  The cabinet has determined the specific time and announced it.  Wang Yuze will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor on September 18 this year and establish a new empire.  The first phase of Beijing¡¯s transformation must be completed before September 18.  This has caused all construction sites to work overtime. If they were not afraid of disturbing the people, they would have already switched to two shifts day and night.

    Wang Yuze also arrived in Beijing with his family and various departments in western Sichuan in early July.  His second daughter and second son have both been born. His third wife Zhou Rui gave birth to a daughter named Wang Zitong, and his fourth wife Yuying gave birth to a son named Wang Zilin.

    After arriving in Beijing, Wang Yuze did not live in the Forbidden City, but in a newly built palace.  After overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wang Yuze privately invested tens of millions to build a palace covering an area of ??hundreds of acres on the South China Sea and Zhonghai next to the Forbidden City, including the entire South China Sea and a small half of Zhonghai.  Although, the cabinet recommended that he move into the Forbidden City, after all, it had been the symbol of the emperor for hundreds of years.  But Wang Yuze refused, the place in the Forbidden City.  It has been built for hundreds of years. I don¡¯t know how many emperors have lived there. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. What¡¯s so good about it?  On the contrary, the Xinhua Palace he funded and built not only has Chinese-style pavilions.  There are also Western-style villas and mansions.  The combination of Chinese and Western elements makes it more suitable for living.

    As for the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, they are all open to the public and fees are charged.  It is used to maintain Beijing's ancient buildings.  This caused a sensation in Beijing and even across the country.  The Forbidden City is the residence of the emperor!  Now it is actually open to ordinary people. Even though the ticket price is as high as one yuan, people still flock to it.  Even many outsiders came to Beijing specifically to pay homage to the residences of emperors of the past dynasties, which gave China's tourism industry an opportunity to develop.

    After all departments moved to Beijing.  It has begun to officially operate.  Now, the whole of China is under the control of the Western Sichuan Army, and social reforms are also proceeding in an orderly manner. With Western Sichuan's victory over the Japanese and the signing of an extremely beneficial treaty, Western Sichuan has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Most of them  Many people have regarded western Sichuan as Zhengshuo.

    "However, there are still some foolish loyalists to the Manchu Qing Dynasty who denounce Western Sichuan as bandits.  Wang Yuze was a rebellious minister and refused to cut off the pig tail on his head.  Wang Yuze didn't pay much attention to these people.  As long as they don't take practical actions and don't participate in rebellion or other activities that endanger society, they can destroy themselves!  But once it causes harm to society and the country.  Then Wang Yuze suppressed him mercilessly.  In recent days, many Manchu loyalists have been brutally suppressed because of riots.  However, the vast majority of Chinese people still strongly agree with Western Sichuan taking over the central government and Wang Yuze ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.  The basis of the rule of Western Sichuan and Wang Yuze.  It is already very reliable and cannot be shaken by just anyone.  Unless it fails in a foreign war.  Otherwise, those with evil intentions would never have a chance.

    There are two conference rooms in Xinhua Palace, both located on the South China Sea. One is a large conference room that can accommodate hundreds of people, and the other is a small conference room that can only accommodate a few dozen people at most.  When Wang Yuze arrived in Beijing, most of his meetings with senior military and political officials were held in small conference rooms or his study.

    Today is already July 18th, and there are still two months left before Wang Yuze ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.  All the military leaders of the Western Sichuan Army have arrived here. On the one hand, they will make adjustments to the next step of the Western Sichuan Army's plan. At the same time, the personnel who have made meritorious service in the last war will also be promoted.

    Wang Yuze sat at the top of the long table in the conference room. On both sides of him were Chief of Staff Xiong Wu, Deputy Chief of Staff Cai Yun, Minister of Defense Jiang Xingguo and Minister of Navy Zhang Cheng.

    Next, there are the top brass of the army and navy. However, there are only a few people in the navy, and most of them are generals from the army. Their golden epaulettes look like shining generals.

    "Everyone, the last war was fought thanks to the greatWith the sacrifice of our families and soldiers, we were able to defeat the Japanese and achieve brilliant results.  However, everyone cannot be proud just yet. The empire is about to be established, but we still have to face a large number of enemies.  The military, in particular, cannot afford to slack off.  Otherwise, it will pose a great threat to the security of the empire.  As we all know, the world has been almost divided up by the Western powers. If China wants to rise and does not become a piece of meat on the chopping board of the great powers, it has no choice but to catch up.  Especially in terms of the military, it is even more important to catch up with the great powers, so that our Chinese nation can have a place on the world stage!  "Wang Yuze said solemnly. After defeating Japan and achieving great results, an atmosphere of arrogance and extravagance inevitably emerged in the army, which made Wang Yuze very worried. Today I also take this opportunity to sound the alarm for everyone.  . In addition, the Military Justice Division of the General Staff Headquarters has also taken action and launched a severe crackdown on these behaviors. In the past month, more than ten generals and colonels have been forced to retire because of this incident, which has made the military  The generals were also a little frightened.

    The people attending the meeting were all the chief officers of the various units of the Western Sichuan Army. When they heard Wang Yuze emphasize this aspect again, they couldn't help but pay attention to this aspect, for fear that they would fall into trouble in these aspects.

    "Now, Minister Jiang will announce the promotion list this time. Everyone is welcome!" Wang Yuze said at last.

    There was warm applause in the conference room.

    "In view of everyone's performance in this war, the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff Headquarters discussed and consulted the commander-in-chief and formulated a promotion list for this time. Xiong Wu, Chief of Staff of the General Staff Headquarters, was promoted to Army General. Cai  Yun, deputy chief of staff, was promoted to army general. Jiang Xingguo, minister of defense, was promoted to army general. Zhao Bowen, commander of the Second Cavalry Corps, was promoted to army general. Dong Hanfei, deputy commander of the teaching division, was promoted  For Army Lieutenant General. Liu Zhiye, Commander of the First Cavalry Corps, was promoted to Army Lieutenant General. Zhou Shun, Commander of the First Division, was promoted to Army Lieutenant General. Yang Guoxing, Commander of the Third Division, was promoted to Army Lieutenant General. Cheng Anguo,  Commander of the 4th Division, promoted to lieutenant general of the Army. Lu Chengzhi, commander of the 5th Division, promoted to lieutenant general of the Army. Lin Chengye, commander of the 7th Division, promoted to lieutenant general of the Army. Chen Wenjun, commander of the 8th Division, promoted to lieutenant general of the Army  Gao Chang, commander of the 11th Division, was promoted to Army Lieutenant General. Su Hongguang, commander of the 22nd Division, was promoted to Army Lieutenant General. Du Qizheng, commander of the 23rd Division, was promoted to Army Lieutenant General. Regarding the Navy,  Minister Zhang Cheng was promoted to admiral. Deng Shichang, commander of the fleet, was promoted to admiral. Li Dingxin, chief of staff of the fleet, was promoted to vice admiral. Wu Dezhang, director of the Equipment Department of the Navy, was promoted to vice admiral. Ye Longxiang  , Director of the Munitions Department of the Navy, was promoted to Vice Admiral. Wei Han, Director of Shipbuilding of the Navy, was promoted to Vice Admiral." Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo read one after another.  These are all lists of people who have been promoted to lieutenant general and above.  As for the list of major generals, the Ministry of National Defense will decide separately next.

    People who have been promoted naturally have faces full of joy.  People who have not been promoted are very envious.  However, this promotion is entirely based on everyone's achievements in the war. Even if they are not promoted, everyone has no objection.

    "Let us congratulate the generals who have been promoted, and hope that everyone will continue to work hard. As long as they serve their lives on the battlefield and are dedicated to protecting their families and the country, I, Wang Yuze, will definitely not be stingy with his official position!" Wang Yuze said.

    In the conference room, there was once again warm applause.  Although Wang Yuze has not been the commander-in-chief for a long time, he is about to become the emperor of the empire.  However, everyone has seen what Wang Yuze has done over the years.  Everyone can be sure that under the leadership of Wang Yuze, China will surely rise quickly.  In this process, war will inevitably break out with surrounding countries and even Western powers. This is the best opportunity for soldiers like them.  Just because they didn't accumulate enough merit this time and couldn't be promoted doesn't mean they won't have a chance next time.

    "In addition, the military structure will be reformed. The General Staff Headquarters will be changed to the General Staff Headquarters, and the Chief of General Staff will be General Xiong Wu. The Army Department will be established, and the Minister will be General Cai Yun. The Army Department will consist of the Operations Department, the Training Department, and the Equipment Department.  Department and Logistics Department. The resignation of the chiefs of each department will be announced next. The war has come to an end now. Our army has now expanded to one teaching division, fifty-three infantry divisions, two cavalry corps and  Two heavy artillery brigades. In order to facilitate the management of the army, it will be divided into eight different military regions according to different defense areas, and the commander of the military region will be responsible for commanding. During wartime, the army and newly mobilized troops in each military region will be organized into  Several group armies are ready to serve on the battlefield. Next, Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu will announce the division arrangements of each military region!" Wang Yuze said.
