After the resignation of Prime Minister Pobedonoschav of the Russian Empire, Foreign Minister Izvolsky became the new Prime Minister of the Empire. The post of Foreign Minister was held by Zicherin.
At the same time, many of the other cabinet ministers of the Russian Empire were already old.
In the next few years, a number of cabinet ministers will resign. A new cabinet minister will take his place. The cabinet of the Russian Empire will also be renewed.
In addition to this, the Russian Empire appointed ambassadors to the League of Nations.
At this time, the headquarters of the League of Nations was set up in Barry. All member states are required to send diplomats to permanent residences. In general, it is also served by the ambassador to Gaul. The same was true of the Russian Empire.
After the end of the war, the Russian Empire became even stronger. And on the European continent, it has almost become a hegemon.
Of course, other countries, especially the Empire of the Sun Never Set and the Gallic Kingdoms, would never recognize this.
November 1817.
Tsar Mikhail was in Mosk, summoned the generals of the Tsarist Imperial Army and held an army conference.
This time the Army Conference had only one topic, and that was disarmament.
Although, the war has just ended. However, the main enemy of the Russian Empire had already been defeated. Either it has been annexed by the Russian Empire or has become a servant state of the Russian Empire.
It was no longer necessary for the Russian Empire to retain a huge force of up to fifty-five more armies.
Moreover, it also means huge military spending. At the same time, a lot of labor is wasted.
After the reduction of the army, the Russian Empire only needed to retain a standing army. Other soldiers, after demobilization, can work in other professions.
Even if the war breaks out suddenly, with the standing strength of the Tsarist Russian Imperial Army, it is enough to top it. At that time, with the mobilization system of the Russian Empire, it will soon be able to mobilize a large number of troops.
After all, in this time and space, there are almost no countries that can defeat the standing army of the Tsarist Empire in a short period of time. The Russian Empire naturally had nothing to fear.
“Thank you all for your efforts in the war. Without your efforts, the empire would not have been able to win the war,” Mikhail said.
“Your Majesty, all this is because of your wise leadership. Otherwise, the empire would not have become so powerful in a short period of time! General Sukhomlinov, Minister of War, said.
“Yes, Your Majesty. You are the real contribution. The commander of the Southwestern Front and commander of the 1st Army, General Gurko, also said.
The other generals also looked at Mikhail with a fanatical expression.
They all knew very well what the Russian Empire was like before Mikhail became tsar.
The Russian Empire at that time, although it was also one of the world powers. However, the Russian Empire was called the weakest of the great powers. It is even known as a clay-footed giant.
If it were not for the vast area and large population of the Russian Empire, it could easily mobilize millions or even tens of millions of troops when fighting. Then, the Russian Empire did not even qualify as a great power.
But in just over a decade, the Russian Empire has completely changed.
In terms of individual combat strength, the Russian Empire is not much worse than the Germans, who claim to be the world’s first. Weapons and equipment, firepower, etc., far exceed other countries. This made the Tsarist Imperial Army even more tough to shock the Germans in this world war.
After the collapse of the Germanic Empire, the Russian Imperial Army has become a well-deserved number one in the world.
What a great honor! These army generals are naturally proud.
“Next, announce the promotion order!” Mikhail continued.
In recognition of the efforts and contributions of the generals in the war, a large number of generals were promoted.
Generals Gurko, Milorov, Sbeklev, Leinkamp, Kulopatkin, Croix and others were all promoted to field marshals.
Also promoted was the Director of Intelligence, General Vasily, who was also promoted to Field Marshal. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Next, there were a large number of lieutenant generals promoted to general, major general to lieutenant general, brigadier general to major general, and so on.
In terms of merit and reward, Mikhail naturally will not be stingy.
He knew very well that this was what these soldiers were after.
It is also a manifestation of their value.
As long as they can bring victory to the Russian Empire in the war. Well, of course, Mikhail will not skimp on giving them glory.
And this can undoubtedly further stimulate the morale and fighting spirit of these generals.
After the promotion ceremony, the highlight finally came, the dismantling of the Army concerned.
“‘Generals, the war is over. Therefore, it was impossible for the Imperial Army to retain the huge strength of fifty-five army groups. The next disarmament of the army is imperative. We must save more money to develop advanced weapons and equipment, and provide the army with more powerful and advanced equipment. At the same time, the country’s focus will also shift to economic construction. Mikhail said.
A bunch of marshals and generals, although they can understand. However, I feel a little lost.
No one wants their troops to be cut. However, there is no way around it.
“Your Majesty, the Imperial Army does need to reduce a lot of troops. However, as the territory of the empire expanded further. Even those servant countries, the empire needs garrisons. Therefore, the size of the Imperial Army also needs to be increased compared to before the war. War Minister Marshal Sukhomlinov said.
“Yes, Your Majesty. In this way, [Wang Qian’s] can ensure the empire’s control of the new territory. Marshal Gurko also said.
Mikhail nodded, of course he could understand this.
“I know. So after considering these factors comprehensively, I decided on the size of the Imperial Army to control it in ten army groups. Moreover, in contrast to previous army groups, each army group had one armored brigade. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army will be even stronger! Mikhail said.
Ten army groups, compared with the fifty-five army groups in wartime, are indeed much less. However, compared with the seven army groups before the outbreak of the war, there were already three valleys.
Plus each army group is equipped with an armored brigade. This brought the strength of each army group to 2.23 million. The ten army groups added up, and there were already about 2.3 million.
This is also the largest standing army in the world.
