Chapter 374: The Panic America
"I say goodbye to my elders and leave home. Joining the army is the most glorious. Don't you see that the frontier war has not stopped for a long time. I should also be the first for everyone. I will shed my blood to build great achievements, and I only wish that China will be peaceful forever. You can know that the Han Dynasty has been sleeping for hundreds of years. Today, we suddenly realize that the barbarians and barbarians have become kings, bullying me, the great Han Dynasty has no inheritance, and the will of rampant Han territory. The deep hatred has not yet subsided, so how can we live alone? When will we stop striking the enemy territory? Now, with this song, I will listen to you, a man is born to be strong and has made achievements in the present day. Joining the army is the right way..."
There are still recruitment propaganda around the country at this time, and there are various private calls, and there are very extreme nationalist propaganda methods. [bsp; In public opinion, the Chinese Empire promoted benevolence. Of course, this thing is used to fool others, so the empire just shouted a few times on the surface, but it was doing another set below.
The reason why Confucianism was able to establish an orthodox position in ancient times was because it catered to the needs of rulers. Although Confucianism was not as good as Taoism, Taoism could not establish a social order, which was the biggest weakness of Taoism.
The Confucian monarch, minister, father and son, common ethics, spring and autumn righteousness, etc. are all for the needs of ruling and centralization, benevolence, etc., which are also used by rulers to deceive the people.
But in China's historical development, a very speechless phenomenon has emerged.
That is, when the ruler deceives his ministers and the people, the ruler is also deceived by his ministers. As an emperor, he also needs to receive education.
Many of the education received by the emperor was Confucian education. In the Ming Dynasty, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy gave lectures to the emperor every few days, instilling various Confucian things to the emperor. The emperor was in the palace all day long and contacted the outside world with the oral words of these ministers, and they all became fooled.
This is why, during the Han and Tang dynasties, China could continue to expand outward, but during the Song and Ming dynasties, it basically did not expand.
Although Confucianism was also an orthodox position during the Han and Tang dynasties, the rulers were at least not fooled.
During the Song and Ming dynasties, it can be said that it was the peak of Confucian deception. The entire society was deceived, so there was also a phenomenon, that is, the centralization of the monarch reached a certain level, and the internal dominance was very stable. At least internally, it was difficult to usurp the throne.
The Chinese Empire currently denies Confucianism internally, but on the surface it also promotes Confucianism. This kind of propaganda is mainly used to fool foreigners, so you don’t have to be too immersed in it.
It's time to recruit soldiers again, and a large number of young people are ready to sign up.
Every year when the Empire recruits soldiers, the scene is very hot.
For those young people who missed their enrollment age, if they want to achieve a career, they must first be educated. To gain education, one is to go to adult schools or night schools. The other is to join the army. If they can make military achievements in the army, they will have a bright future. Even if they don’t stay in the army, they will easily find a good job after they are discharged.
At this time, there were many examples of success in the empire joining the army.
After the founding of the Empire, the Empire compensated the families of martyrs the most abundantly, and the pension increased year by year. With the development of social economy, the money naturally depreciated to a certain extent. In addition to the increase in personal labor income, the pensions of martyrs are naturally increased year by year.
Every time the pension is increased, the martyrs who have died also issued additional payments.
However, those were the treatments enjoyed by the martyrs before the founding of the Empire. Those martyrs were founding heroes, so the empire would naturally not be disappointed.
At the same time, the empire also rewarded those founding heroes who did not die, but mainly rewarded ordinary soldiers.
Most of those officers are rewarded by promotion of military rank. Those rewards are very generous to ordinary soldiers, but not many to those officers.
This is also the empire's usual means to unite the bottom and check and balance the upper class.
The soldiers who followed the head of state to start their career in Jian'an were the worst now as lieutenants, but some of them were just platoon leaders in their positions.
If you cannot improve your abilities, you will naturally not be promoted to a position that is too high, but you must reward your contribution to the founding of a leader in his career. Therefore, increasing the military rank is equivalent to increasing the military pay.
Those who are capable will immediately raise their positions as soon as they fight.
Although you have missed the best opportunity to join the army now, it does not mean that you have no future in joining the army.
At this time, the empire has not yet begun to be awarded titles!
Many phenomena in the empire show that the real reward has not yet arrived.
"When our Chinese Empire dominates the world, it will be the time when the empire can conquer the world."
There is a saying that is generally circulating in all walks of life. After all, there is no wind and no waves. This saying is indeed what Xia Jun promised.
When the empire was founded, it was the one who should have been rewarded, but Xia Jun felt that the time was not yet ripe. Giving the soldiers at this time would only eliminate their ambition.
After the founding of the empire, the soldiers of the three armies did not have no goals, there was only one new goal - dominate the world!
Xia Jun drew a big pie for the soldiers, which once again inspired the struggle spirit of the entire army.
This approach also achieved good results, but there was no reverse effect. After all, Xia Jun could not say that he could enjoy it, and he became a good example, so the soldiers below naturally had no idea. Moreover, the three armies of the Empire had ideals, and common ideals could unite people.
Although joining the army at this time is not easy to become an officer as soon as possible, it is not without chance. As long as you have the ability, you can still do it.
Under such circumstances, those young people in the inland provinces of the Chinese Empire who missed their education age regarded joining the army as a good way out.
In coastal provinces, and in some provinces that were included in the management of the East China government in the early days, some of the young people who missed their enrollment age have been recruited into the military, some have entered adult schools, and then learned a skill and become workers, which has basically been digested.
In previous years, the requirements for recruiting soldiers in the empire were very strict. After all, there were many people who joined the army in previous years, and the number of soldiers was limited, so naturally I chose them again and again.
But now the situation is different. For young people who signed up for the army, the Empire would summon the army as long as they were about the same physical fitness, and even those with poor physical fitness were required.
Because the empire will expand its recruitment of production corps this year, those with poorer physical fitness will be recruited into production corps.
These production corps are mainly engaged in production projects, in addition to traditional agriculture, and currently joins industrial production. Even traditional agricultural production uses the most advanced technology.
When the empire recruited these production corpses, its main purpose was to enable these uneducated young people to learn culture in the army and learn technical production technology, so that they can have a skill after they are discharged from the army and provide them with a ladder to advance to the middle class.
This policy mainly faces inland areas, while in coastal areas, all those who enlist in the army are conscripts, all from schools.
The provinces in East China have been developing their education for ten years, and the current number of soldiers of the appropriate age is students.
Even if young people in inland areas enter night schools, they are not as good as enlisting in the army. After all, after joining the army, they can contact comrades from all provinces across the country, and they can go to border areas, which can broaden their horizons. At the same time, the military's transformation of people is not comparable to that of night schools.
The establishment of production corps has a huge advantage, that is, it can reduce the military burden. After all, the production of these production corps can also produce benefits, and these benefits will be spent on the equipment, training and consumption of production corps.
In return, the Empire gave the soldiers of the Production Corps a good development platform, and after being discharged from the army, they could enjoy more advanced entrepreneurial guidance.
At the same time, cultivating these inland soldiers to start businesses will help develop the inland economy. For this reason, the empire has also specially introduced various support policies for the retired inland soldiers to return to their hometowns to start businesses.
The conscript system is currently only applicable to coastal areas and other areas, and is aimed at students in school. However, inland areas, there is no conscript system for the time being, and this will take a few more years.
In coastal areas, the conscript system does not mean that everyone has to join the army, but only those who pass the physical fitness will be recruited into the army and only need to serve for two years.
These students have received a certain level of military training in school, and they have no problems in queuing, etc., and they have no problems with basic firearm operations. The key training programs after enlisting are some more in-depth military combat skills.
With the development of science and technology, war has evolved into a mobile warfare that integrates land and air. The form of war has changed to a model of using air force, artillery, and tanks to make forced breakthroughs, and then interspersed in depth and encirclement.
In this mode, the infantry has retreated to the secondary position, and the main battle is to fight the enemy in close range after intersecting and surrounding them.
Therefore, the traditional training model has become a thing of the past. To meet the war needs of the new era, soldiers must learn close combat skills.
This is the task of ordinary soldiers, and professional troops are the primary arms of armored soldiers, air force pilots, and artillery troops.
In this combat mode, individual firepower becomes more important. After all, the encirclement and annihilation battle is about close-range firepower, but it does not mean it is too close.
In the Sino-Japanese War and the Soviet-Russian civil war, one problem was exposed, that is, submachine guns do have a great effect, but sometimes insufficient range is also a disadvantage.
At present, this is a disadvantage that is not a disadvantage, because the firepower of other countries is not as good as that of the Chinese Empire. As for the Chinese Empire's Type 09 rifle, the firepower is stronger than that of any country's rifle and has higher accuracy, so no one thinks this is a disadvantage.
However, there is still a need. The military has proposed a related weapon and equipment improvement plan, which is to create a rifle with moderate power, moderate range, strong firepower, and easy to carry.
The Chinese Empire was the first country to realize this development trend.
The Empire expanded its enrollment of the Production Corps this year, with the main purpose of cultivating ordinary soldiers.
When these ordinary soldiers go to the battlefield, their mission is to rush forward and then eliminate the enemy. It does not require too much technicality, but the risk factor is extremely high, so this is the easiest place to consume troops. Since the empire wants to prepare for war, it must cultivate more ordinary soldiers.
Two years is enough to train a qualified charge soldier, and after retirement, they will be transferred to reserve service. When the war comes, they will immediately mobilize these reserve service.
To put it bluntly, those reserves are actually cannon fodder reserves.
But this is the case with war. Someone must be used as cannon fodder for charge. The dangers faced by those professional soldiers are also very great. For the armored division, they must conduct head-on forced breakthroughs, and the air force must conduct air combat and bombard behind enemy lines.
Of course, if military technology is stronger than the enemy, the danger will be much lower.
The military technology of the Chinese Empire was still ahead of the world at this time.
In 1921, the Chinese Empire recruited nearly three million people one after another, and most of them were converted into production corpses. The total number of troops in the Chinese Empire had increased to six million, which was equivalent to one of the 100 people joining the army. This ratio is very low compared to a crazy proportion of ten to one.
As a country that is about to embark on a militarist line, it must have a foundation for the whole people to participate in military construction.
The expansion of the Chinese Empire this year has indeed scared Britain, the United States and other countries to death.
Six million!
That's six million!
Moreover, the Chinese Empire can summon another six million at any time, as long as you need it.
Why did the Chinese Empire expand so many troops for no reason?
Is it necessary to start a full-scale war against the Soviet Union?
The United States, which is well versed in the way of capital use, naturally understands that this is possible. Although the territory is nominally Russian, China's capital can continue to exploit Russia and start a war with the Soviet Union in an all-round way, because China has such a starting point for interests.
As long as there is enough starting point for interests, then it is possible to take action.
Faced with this great possibility, it is time for Britain, the United States, Japan and other Allies to be in trouble.
If the Chinese Empire was asked to extend its hands to Europe, the result would be terrifying.
The Chinese Empire occupied Europe, which means that there is no difference between the unified world island, and the United States will be surrounded by the United States.
The White House held an emergency meeting for this.
"With the current US military power, it is not enough to stop China's expansion. First of all, in terms of naval warfare, the navies of countries around the world cannot approach the Chinese sea. Moreover, this time China is expanding from land, not from sea. On land, the Soviet Union obviously cannot resist the Sino-Russian coalition. Britain, France and Germany have just experienced a protracted war, and there is no force to be drawn out to resist China. If China really makes up its mind to attack Europe, then there will be no force to stop it." US Secretary of State Lansing Robert said: "What the United States needs is time. We need enough time to develop the Soviet Union, and at the same time, it needs enough time for Britain, France and Germany to restore its strength. China has never fallen into the war since the beginning of the last war. They have accumulated huge strength and are now extremely easy to erupt."
"What should we do!" Wilson asked, "Are we going to build an army of 6 million people like they did?"
Wilson's depressed expression could tell his helplessness.
The population of the United States is only 100 million. If theories are soldiers, 10 million people can be drawn to participate in the war, but in fact it is not like this.
The United States is a capital country, and it is impossible to draw so many people to join the army. Even if it draws 6 million people to join the army, the United States will not be able to stand it.
In the non-war era, the United States needs to develop. How can so many people join the army develop?
China is different. With so many people in China, 6 million people do not affect the development of the entire country. Moreover, China has not yet achieved full industrialization. Many of the populations are agricultural populations. These agricultural populations have joined the army and have no impact on social production.
