The reorganization of the Russian Imperial Army into six army groups, each responsible for the defense and operation of a region, was also decided by Mikhail after careful consideration.
Of course, the total strength of the six army groups, plus the units directly under the General Staff, exceeded 1.4 million.
However, the territory of the Russian Empire was too vast, amounting to more than 20 million square kilometers. In this way, the army of the Russian Empire was actually not enough.
Mikhail can only ask for the strengthening of the training of these troops and the training of them into elite soldiers. A change from the previous cannon fodder combat mode. In this case, the army may barely be enough.
Those generals can also accept such an arrangement.
Although it is no longer possible to be the commander of a military district, it is the same to be able to be the commander of an army group.
“Generals, the reorganization of the Imperial Army is not only to strengthen the firepower of the troops. At the same time, training cannot be left behind. There can no longer be empty pay. In the past, there were various bad habits in the imperial army, and corruption was particularly serious. But this time, after the reorganization, these phenomena must be eliminated completely. If anyone is found again, they will be severely punished! I will inform you in advance. Then, don’t blame me for being ruthless then!” Mikhail looked serious.
The army of the Russian Empire has long been corrupt to the extreme.
The previous Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II were powerless to change.
However, Mikhail will never tolerate such a situation.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” the generals replied when they saw Mikhail’s face.
After all, they knew that this young Tsar’s Majesty was very murderous.
Now the empire is vigorously carrying out agricultural reform, and there are many nobles and landlords who have been arrested and even hanged for obstructing reform.
It is certain that once they really commit a crime, Mikhail will never let them go. They don’t want to risk their lives to challenge Mikhail’s bottom line.
“In addition, the Imperial Army should establish a perfect mobilization system. Every year, the Imperial Army retires some soldiers and recruits some recruits to replenish them. Retired soldiers are transferred to the reserve. Establish a sound reserve management system. To ensure that once a future war breaks out, the Imperial Army must be able to mobilize enough troops for the war in the shortest possible time!”
In the First World War, another time and space, the mobilization of the Russian Empire took too long.
And the Gauls are almost unable to hold on.
So much so that Nicholas II threw troops that had not yet completed their mobilization into the battlefield, and were beaten by the Germans and suffered heavy losses. Such a situation, in this time and space, can never appear again.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” the generals replied.
Next, the armies of the various groups should be quickly formed and then put into training. I hope that in the shortest possible time, the units of each army group will form combat effectiveness. “Mikhail is looking forward to the Imperial Army.
The army is the main force of the Russian Empire, and it is also the force that the Russian Empire can develop and grow in a short period of time.
Coupled with its large population, this made the army almost the best thing the Russian Empire was good at.
Under such circumstances, the Russian Empire naturally wanted to give full play to its advantages.
After the meeting, Mikhail specially left the commander of the 6th Army, General Kulopatkin, behind.
“Your Excellency, General, what do you think of the Orientals?” asked Mikhail.
Admiral Kulopatkin thought for a while, and then said: “Your Majesty, the development of the Oriental people is very fast, and after they defeated the Great Qing Empire, they plundered a lot of wealth from the Great Qing Empire. Although, under the intervention of the empire, the Orientals spit out part of the benefits. However, this also made the empire extremely hated by the Orientals. Now, the Oriental people have received the full support of the people who never set the sun. If this continues, the Oriental people will definitely pose a threat to the empire. ”
Mikhail nodded repeatedly: “It’s very good that you can have such an understanding.” The 6th Army was formed to target the Orientals. In ten years, or even seven or eight years or even earlier, the Orientals would attack the empire under the influence of the sun never setting. They want to rise and become one of the world’s great powers. Then they have to challenge a great power. And whether in terms of strength or geographical location, there is no better target than the empire. Therefore, the empire undoubtedly became the target of the Oriental attack. So, from now on, we have to be ready. ”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Kulopatkin’s expression also became serious.
“The 6th Army, the next step is to strengthen training. Once war broke out with the Orientals, the 6th Army would be the main force against the Orientals. I hope that we can defeat the Orientals on the battlefield and cut off their path to rise!” demanded Mikhail.
