The Russian Empire implemented agricultural reforms throughout the country to improve the living standards of farmers. At the same time, they vigorously developed transportation and industry, causing the national strength of the Russian Empire to begin to increase significantly.
In order to protect the industry and commerce, the Russian Empire even raised the customs duties to avoid the impact of foreign goods.
And all of this, in the end, was to make the Russian Empire even more powerful.
Of course, the most basic manifestation was naturally the increase in the military strength of the Russian Empire.
Mihail had always had a sense of crisis. He hoped that the Russian Empire would be able to win the war against the Japanese Empire in a few years. They hoped that they could achieve a complete victory in the world war a decade later.
It would completely change the fate and development path of the Russian Empire and change the world structure.
This required the Russian Empire to have strong industrial and military strength. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
In terms of industrial strength, under his request, the Russian Empire was vigorously developing its industry and further improving the level of industrialization.
However, this was not something that could be done overnight.
The improvement of military strength was naturally something that Michael paid close attention to.
After defeating Grand Duke Nicholas, Michael had almost taken control of the army.
In September 1796, Michael summoned the Chief of Staff of the Army, General Brushilov, the Minister of the Army, General Sukhomlinov, the Chief of the Cavalry, General Guarko, and the commanders of the various military regions to discuss the reform of the Army.
"Generals, I think the previous Battle of Mosk must have brought great shock and feelings to everyone. This also showed that the Empire's previous army construction was fundamentally wrong. We can't just rely on our military strength and cannon fodder made up of serfs to defeat the enemy. With the development of technology and weapons, it was unrealistic.
We need to further strengthen the firepower of the army and train an even more elite army. To defeat our enemies in such a way.
The situation in Europe and even the world was getting more and more tense. In the near future, a great war would definitely erupt. Therefore, we must be prepared!
As the main military force of the empire, the empire's army naturally needed to be developed. Only in this way could they win in future wars and ensure that the interests of the empire would not be harmed!”
Mihail said to the generals.
In the army, it was relatively less complicated. A bigger fist was the truth.
In the Caucasus Military District, Michael had built a team of guards that could defeat the most elite troops of the Russian Empire in a few years. In that case, it was naturally up to him to decide.
Especially now, when Michael was still the Tsar. It was natural for these generals to be loyal to the Tsar.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, announce the reorganization plan of the army to everyone!”Mihail said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" General Brushilov replied.
"Gentlemen, according to His Majesty's request, the Imperial Army will be reorganized according to the previous establishment of the various units under the jurisdiction of the Caucasus Military Region. In the end, the empire's army would be completely reorganized into sixty infantry divisions, ten heavy artillery regiments, twenty cavalry regiments, and five mountain infantry regiments. The Empire's army would have more than 1.4 million soldiers.”General Brusilov announced.
The generals had no objections to this.
After all, during the Battle of Mosk, the army under Michael's command had powerful firepower and combat strength, completely defeating the guards. The other troops of the Russian army were even less of a match.
Now, it was not a bad thing to reorganize all the troops according to this template.
"In addition, the Imperial Army will abolish the military region system!”General Brushilov continued.
"Abolish the military region system?" The generals were stunned.
After all, they were the commanders of the military region! If the military region was abolished, what would they do?
"The Imperial Army will be divided into six corps. Each army group had ten infantry divisions, one heavy artillery regiment, and one cavalry regiment. As well as the other armies. The remaining four heavy artillery brigades, fourteen cavalry brigades, and five mountain infantry brigades were under the General Staff's jurisdiction.
The commander of the 1st Army was General Guarco. The 1st Army's defense area was Mosk, the surrounding area. The headquarters of the army was Mosk.
The commander of the Second Army was General Sbeklev. The 2nd Army's defense area was Petersburg and the northwest region of the Empire. The commander of the group army was stationed in Petersburg.
The commander of the 3rd Army was General Mirolav, and the 3rd Army's defense area was the western and southwestern regions of the Empire. The headquarters of the group army was located in Birch Sand.
The commander of the 4th Army was General Ivanov, and the 4th Army's defense area was the southern part of the Empire, including the eastern Uklan Plains, the Don River basin, and the Caucasus region. The headquarters of the 4th Army was located in Volgograd.
The commander of the 5th Army was General Leningkamp. The 5th Army's defense area was the Western Siberian Plain, west of Lake Baikal, and Central Asia. The headquarters of the 5th Army was located in Chelyabinsk.
The commander of the 6th Army was General Kuropatkin. The 6th Army's defense area was east of Lake Baikal, Eastern Siberia, and the Far East coastal area and the Empire's sphere of influence in the Far East. The headquarters of the group army was located in Vladimir.”
