After careful consideration, Michael had decided to reorganize the Russian army into six corps, each responsible for the defense and combat of a region.
Of course, the six corps, together with the troops under the General Staff, had a total of more than 1.4 million soldiers.
However, the territory of the Russian Empire was too vast, more than 20 million square kilometers. In this case, the Russian army was not enough.
He could only request for the training of these troops to be strengthened, so that they could be trained into elite soldiers. It was a change from the previous cannon fodder battle mode. In this case, the army might just barely be enough.
The generals could accept this arrangement.
Although he could no longer be the commander of a military region, he could still be the commander of an army.
"Generals, the reorganization of the Empire's army is not only to increase the firepower of the troops. At the same time, he couldn't neglect his training. They could no longer eat empty food. Previously, there were all kinds of bad habits in the Imperial Army, and corruption was especially serious. But this time, after the reorganization, these phenomena had to be completely eliminated. If they were discovered again, they would be severely punished! I've informed everyone in advance. Then, don't blame me for being merciless!”Mihail said solemnly.
The army of the Russian Empire had long been corrupted to the extreme.
The previous Tsar Alexander III and Nicholas II were powerless to change.
However, Michael would never tolerate such a situation.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The generals saw the look on Michael's face and answered one after another.
After all, they knew that the young Tsar had a strong killing intent.
The Empire was now vigorously carrying out agricultural reforms. Many nobles and landowners were arrested or even hanged for obstructing the reforms.
He was sure that if they really committed a crime, Michael would never let them off. They didn't want to risk their lives to challenge Michael's bottom line.
"In addition, the Imperial Army needs to establish a perfect mobilization system. Every year, a portion of the Empire's army would retire and recruit new soldiers to replenish them. The retired soldiers had to be transferred to the reserves. He would establish a perfect reserve management system. This was to ensure that once a war broke out in the future, the Empire's army would be able to mobilize enough troops to join the war in the shortest time possible!”Mihail continued.
In the first world war in another time and space, the mobilization of the Russian Empire took too long.
And the Gaul could not hold on any longer.
As a result, Nicholas II sent the troops that had not been fully mobilized into the battlefield and were beaten to a pulp by the Germans, suffering heavy losses. Such a situation could never happen again in this spacetime.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The generals answered.
"Next, we need to quickly complete the formation of the various armies and then put them into training. I hope that in the shortest time possible, the troops of each army group will be able to form a fighting force.”Mihail was very much looking forward to the Imperial Army.
The army was the main force of the Russian Empire, and it was also the power that the Russian Empire could develop and strengthen in a short period of time.
Coupled with its huge population, the army was almost the best in the Russian Empire.
Under such circumstances, the Russian Empire naturally had to display its advantage to the fullest.
After the meeting ended, Mihail deliberately asked General Kuropatkin, the commander of the 6th Army, to stay.
"General, what do you think of the Japanese?”Mihail asked.
Admiral Kuropatkin thought for a moment and said,""Your Majesty, the East Asian people have developed very quickly. After they defeated the Qing Empire, they plundered a large amount of wealth from the Qing Empire. However, due to the interference of the Empire, the East Asians had given up a portion of the benefits. However, this also made the Empire extremely hated by the Japanese. Now, the Japanese had the full support of the people of Sun Never Sets. If this continued, the East Asian people would definitely pose a threat to the Empire.”
" Very good." Mihail nodded." It's very good that you have such an understanding." The 6th Army was formed to deal with the Japanese. Within ten years, or even seven or eight years, the East Asian people would attack the Empire under the command of the people of Sun Never Sets. They wanted to rise up and become one of the world's superpowers. Thus, they had to challenge a superpower. Whether it was in terms of strength or geographical location, there was no better target than the Empire. Thus, the Empire had undoubtedly become the target of the Japanese. Therefore, from now on, we have to be prepared.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Kuropatkin's expression became serious.
"The 6th Army will need to strengthen their training. Once a war broke out with the Japanese, the 6th Army would be the main force to deal with them. I hope that we can defeat the Japanese on the battlefield and cut off their path to rise!”Mihail requested.
