Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Germany's small moves in the Pacific have aroused China's vigilance.  However, when the peace conference has just ended, it is not the time to start a war!  After two years of war, the people of the empire all hope to live a stable life. Even though Wang Yuze is the emperor of the empire and is almost a god-like existence in the minds of the people of the empire, he cannot go against everyone's wishes!  Therefore, in the face of the German actions, China can only adopt passive defensive measures and deploy its navy and air force in the Luzon region, Southeast Asia, Australia and Hawaii to form an encirclement of Germany!  In addition, there are many islands in the Pacific that belong to China, and the forces of both sides are almost intertwined.  China has also begun to build airports and ports on these islands in a tit-for-tat manner, and deploy aircraft and warships, thereby posing a threat to Germany's military presence in the Pacific!

    Of course, this is just a passive defense!  To completely and fundamentally solve the problem, we need to use strong means to remove the military base built by Germany in the Pacific!  However, doing that would be tantamount to starting a war!  In recent years, it is simply unrealistic to start a war again!  Fortunately, most of these islands in the Pacific are uninhabited areas, and their infrastructure is almost completely blank!  It will also take a lot of time for Germany to build airports and ports on these islands!  Especially when Germany's current national strength has not yet recovered, it will be very difficult to complete their military deployment in the Pacific!  Germany's action this time is more of a test of China!

    It can be said that from the end of the peace conference, a new round of confrontation between China and Germany has begun!  However, both sides are relatively restrained and the level of confrontation is low. There is no possibility of triggering a war yet!  However, as the national strength of both sides gradually recovers and war preparations are completed, a new war breaks out. This is almost a certainty!

    In December 1913, the world had returned to a period of peace.  Peace has become a theme all over the world. Both the victorious and the defeated countries have focused their main energy on their own countries.  In particular, many defeated countries were reduced to ruins during the war. Under such circumstances, just rebuilding their homes will require a lot of financial and material resources!  This was especially true of the northern regions of France annexed by Germany!  In two years of war, Germany bombed these areas to ashes.  And if we want the potential of these areas to be realized, huge amounts of money must be invested in reconstruction!  Fortunately, Germany also gained a lot of benefits from this world war.  Otherwise, these reconstruction funds alone would be enough to bring Germany down!  Of course, once these important industrial areas recover, Germany's national strength will be greatly improved!

    On December 18, the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze held a promotion ceremony for the generals of the Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force at Xinhua Palace!  After the tension in the world eased, the generals of the armies stationed in various places, the fleet commanders of the navy and the generals of the air force also returned to the country to participate in this promotion ceremony!  The Ministry of National Defense has submitted a promotion list to Emperor Wang Yuze based on everyone's performance on the battlefield. After Wang Yuze's review, the generals will be promoted!  Of course, because there were so many generals to be promoted, only the ceremony for the promotion of marshal was held in Xinhua Palace!

    Among China¡¯s military ranks, marshals are divided into two levels, namely, imperial marshals and marshals of various services!  Previously, except for the former Chief of Staff Xiong Wu, who was specially promoted to Marshal of the Empire in recognition of his contribution to the Empire over the past few decades when he retired, the other military ministers were all just Marshals of the Services!  Of course, this time in the world war, the three armies of the empire performed very well, so many people will be promoted to marshals of the empire and marshals of the services!  Because the Air Force was only established before the war, it was established too short ago. Although it made many achievements during the war, Long Feiyu, the highest minister of space, was only promoted to Air Force Marshal this time!  If you want to be promoted to Marshal of the Empire, I'm afraid you have to wait until the next war!

    ?? Participating in this promotion ceremony, in addition to the generals who will be promoted, there are also management military generals.  In addition, cabinet ministers also attended the promotion ceremony.  According to the procedure, Emperor Wang Yuze will personally award these imperial marshals and service marshals with marshal's scepters.  The marshal's scepter is made of precious metal and inlaid with various gemstones. It is about half a meter long and 3.4 centimeters in diameter.  The difference between the Imperial Marshal's scepter and the Service Marshal's scepter is that the Imperial Marshal's scepter is made of gold, while the Service Marshal's scepter is silver!  At first, someone suggested granting these marshals long swords as representatives of their status as marshals, but after considering it, Wang Yuze still planned to adopt this Western scepter!  After all, the long sword is too offensive. Although soldiers are the cornerstone of protecting the country, if they are slightly bad, they will also become the source of cholera in the country!  Therefore, the awarding of a scepter to represent the status of a marshal also has this warning.

     The Imperial Crown Prince Wang Zirui also stayed in this promotion ceremony!  The promoted marshals will swear allegiance to the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze and the Crown Prince Wang Zirui to show that the Imperial Army will always belong to the Imperial Royal Family!

    At 9:30 in the morning, Wang Yuze, accompanied by the Crown Prince Wang Zirui and the Chief of Guard Wu Hao, came to the main hall!  After all the ministers saluted, the promotion ceremony began immediately!  First of all, Wang Yuze delivered a speech to the generals of the imperial military, thanking them for everything they have done on the battlefield. Without their efforts, the empire would not be what it is today!  In addition, there are also encouragements for the generals who have been promoted, as well as those who have not been promoted this time. I hope they can continue their efforts, so that their names will appear on the next promotion list!  After all, for these military generals, if they can be promoted to marshal before retiring, the empire marshal may not dare to think about it, but even if they are service marshals, this is an affirmation of their lifelong military career!  Of course, the marshal of the empire is not a cabbage. If he has not made immortal achievements, he is definitely not qualified for promotion!  This also makes the military generals hold back their energy, hoping to obtain more meritorious deeds on the battlefield so that they will have no regrets in their military career!

    The first person on the promotion list is Cai Yun, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff. During his tenure in charge of the General Staff, the empire's military strength has greatly improved, and during the two years of war, the Imperial General Staff has maintained normal operations.  Operation allows the empire to win this war!  Therefore, in view of his meritorious service, Emperor Wang Yuze decided to promote Cai Yun to the rank of Marshal of the Empire!

    The second person to be promoted was Army Secretary Zhao Bowen.  Army Secretary Zhao Bowen commanded the battle in the North American battlefield and led the imperial army to defeat the United States, the biggest enemy, thus completely establishing the victory of this war!  In addition, when Chief of General Staff Cai Yun was commanding the war against Russia, Marshal Zhao Bowen presided over the daily work of the General Staff and performed very well.  Therefore, this time Wang Yuze decided to promote him to the rank of Marshal of the Empire!

    The third person to be promoted was Navy Minister Zhang Cheng.  Under his leadership, the Imperial Navy has become the number one in the world!  His contribution in this is self-evident!  Promoting him to the rank of Marshal of the Empire is also an affirmation of his merits!  Considering that Zhang Cheng is already old, he himself also expressed the hope that he can retire and let a young man take over the position of Minister of the Navy!  After consideration, Wang Yuze has agreed that Zhang Cheng will retire in the near future, and the position of Navy Minister will be taken over by the Commander of the Home Fleet, Marshal Li Dingxin!

    The fourth person to be promoted is Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo.  Although the Ministry of Defense does not have a large influence in the imperial military compared to the General Staff, Army Department and Navy Department, its role is irreplaceable!  The procurement of armaments, the recruitment of soldiers, the payment of pensions, the preparation of materials, and the assessment and evaluation of combat achievements, etc. are all completed by the Ministry of National Defense!  It can be said that the Ministry of National Defense has become the steward of the military.  This time the empire was able to win the war, and the Ministry of National Defense also made great contributions!  Therefore, Jiang Xingguo was promoted from Imperial Army Marshal to Imperial Marshal!

    These four people are the only ones who have been promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal.  Even if the former chief of general staff Xiong Wu is included, there are only five imperial marshals!  And there are tens of millions of officers and soldiers in the empire's army!  This shows how difficult it is to be promoted to Marshal of the Empire!

    Next, is the promotion of service marshal.  Space Minister General Long Feiyu was promoted to Air Marshal to show his contribution to the Imperial Air Force!  The Imperial Air Force came from scratch, and Long Feiyu played a very important role in this!

    Relatively more people are promoted to field marshal!  Several group army commanders who have made outstanding contributions on the North American battlefield include General Xie Dingkun, the sharp brother of the 2nd Group Army, General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army, General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Group Army, and General He Bingju, commander of the 8th Group Army.  , as well as General Yang Guoxing, commander of the 1st Group Army, General Lin Chengye, commander of the 10th Group Army, and General Zhou Shun, commander of the 11th Group Army, who performed outstandingly on the Indian battlefield and the Siberian Plain battlefield. A total of 7 people were promoted to Imperial Army Field Marshals.  !  The remaining group army commanders, especially those who also made great contributions on the Siberian Plain, were reprimanded by the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze for their improper handling of the 'Cotton Coat Incident', which also caused them to lose their  This is an opportunity for promotion!  (To be continued.
