The end of the military era

A colonel of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empire shouted to thousands of officers and soldiers: "Brothers, I know that no one is willing to take off this uniform.

But you are soldiers!Soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty!

The 82nd Garrison Division of the Tongzhou Military Region, according to the order of the Royal Army Command, will be reorganized into the 29th Garrison Brigade of the Shouzhou Military Region. It will only have 3 infantry regiments and 1 brigade headquarters, with a staff of about 1 people.

This also indicates that the 82nd Garrison Division of the Tongzhou Military Region will abolish about 3 officers and soldiers. "

After a pause, Wang Zhilin, commander of the 82nd Garrison Division of the Tongzhou Military Region, continued, "To tell the truth!

I was downgraded from division commander to brigade commander, and I felt uncomfortable!

But disarmament is the general trend.

Before the Chihu Empire signed the armistice agreement, the total strength of our Royal Army exceeded 1 million. Now that the war is over, it is impossible for the country to keep so many soldiers.

Starting today, you will retire from active duty in the Imperial Army of the Han and Tang Dynasties and become honorable veterans! "

Although it was raining lightly, Wang Zhilin could still see that many officers and soldiers on the playground had shed tears.

Immediately, I don't know who started it, and sang the military song of the Han and Tang Empires, and soon thousands of veterans sang in unison.

"Is it said that there is no clothes - the same robe with the son -

Master Wang Yuxing——Fix my Spear——

I have the same hatred with my son..."

In the high-pitched military song, Wang Zhilin's eyes couldn't help turning red, but he just tried not to let the tears flow out.

After the army song finished, a lieutenant colonel immediately shouted: "If there is a war, you must return!"

Then thousands of retired officers and soldiers also shouted in unison: "If there is a war, you must be called back!" "If there is a war, you must be called back!"...

Finally, Wang Zhilin couldn't hold back his tears. He raised his right hand and solemnly saluted thousands of veterans.

After thousands of retired officers and soldiers disbanded, the lieutenant colonel who had led the slogan came to Wang Zhilin.

"Old Ge, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to file a job change report. Otherwise, the position of deputy brigade commander of the 29th Garrison Brigade of the Shouzhou Military Region should have been taken by you." Wang Zhilin said with some regret.

Ge An said with a smile: "Master, after the Chinese New Year, I will already be 47.

Counting the years when I was in the Second Mixed Brigade of the Yuan Zhenwei Army, I was half my life.

After this war is over, our Han and Tang empires may not experience any major wars for many years to come.

My parents are old, and after changing jobs, I can take care of my father and mother more. "

"Old Ge, I'll see you off at night."

"Hey, don't worry, teacher, I will drink you under the table tonight."

After thousands of retired officers and soldiers of the 82nd Garrison Division of the Tongzhou Military Region were disbanded, these officers and soldiers returned to the barracks and began to pack their luggage, preparing to leave the barracks.

"Squad leader, what are you going to do when you go home?" Wu Bao asked Niu Wu, the squad leader who was also packing his luggage, while packing his luggage.

The squad leader Niu Wu said sullenly: "I don't know, but this time I am discharged from the army, and I have allocated a full 100 acres of paddy fields and 200 acres of dry fields in Daozhou Town. I am going home to discuss with my father. The whole family emigrated. To Daozhou Town.

Brother Bao, what about you? "

Brother Bao is Wu Bao's nickname. In fact, Wu Bao's age is one year younger than the squad leader Niu Wu.

Wu Bao rubbed his hands together and said, "Squad leader, I didn't ask for arable land, I just asked for 600 silver coins as a discharge fee, plus the military pay I had saved before, and I planned to go home and open a tavern.

You have tasted my craft, monitor, and my family has a secret recipe for making rice wine handed down from generation to generation. The rice wine brewed is always delicious. "

According to the discussions between Zhou Rui and Zhou Xiaorong, the new commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empire, the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empire with a strength of 13 billion will be reduced to 150 group armies and 1000 garrison brigades.

汉唐帝国皇家陆军的集团军，仍旧下辖3个步兵师、1个装甲师、1个炮兵师和1个集团军司令部，兵力大约为20万人。

However, the establishment of each infantry division has undergone some changes. Each infantry brigade under its jurisdiction will be equipped with a tank battalion, and the division headquarters will also have a tank battalion under its jurisdiction. However, the total strength of the infantry division is still at 1. about.

The garrison brigade has 3 infantry regiments and 1 brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters also has 1 tank battalion with a strength of about 1.

In this way, the Imperial Army of the Han and Tang Dynasties will only retain about 4000 million troops, and about 9000 million active officers and soldiers will be abolished.

These dismissed army officers and soldiers can receive a very generous retirement fee based on their age, rank, and military exploits.

There are two options for distributing the retirement fee, one is to get the money directly, and the other is to get the cultivated land of 10 new feudal towns.

Since most of the humans in the six provinces of the Red Tiger Empire had already immigrated to the Han and Tang Empires, now that the Han and Tang Empires have captured these six provinces, they have to emigrate here again.

Therefore, in order to speed up immigration, if the retired officers and soldiers choose to cultivate land, the value of the obtained area will far exceed the silver coins discounted from the retirement fee.

The squad leader Niu Wu asked: "Brother Bao, is there enough money to open the tavern? If not, I can still support you with two or three hundred silver coins."

Wu Bao said: "Squad leader, the money to open the tavern is already enough.

Keep your little money, hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law! "

The monitor, Niu Wu, suddenly blushed, "My father wrote me a few days ago, saying that he has already mentioned a daughter-in-law to me."

"Damn—squad leader, you are hiding very deep! After retiring from the army, you not only became a small landlord, but even had a landlord's wife.

Squad leader, if you want to get married, you must send me a telegram, and I must go to the wedding! "

Squad leader Niu Wu's tone became a little sad at this time, "It's a pity that Er Leng and the glasses were sacrificed. I really hope they can also go to drink a glass of wedding wine."

On the surface of the sea near the Crescent Island Naval Base, thousands of warships of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires gathered.

Lu Dong, the captain of the battleship Shangyue, looked at the densely packed battleships on the sea, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The battleship Shangyue belongs to the "Shang" class full main gun battleship of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which is the Fuso class full main gun battleship of Dongying Kingdom.

At this time, Hao Hongwu, the first officer of the Shangyue, asked: "Captain, is our Shangyue really going to be sealed?"

Captain Lu Dong nodded sadly, "It has been decided above that this time the remaining 20 'Shang'-class battleships of our Second Fleet will all be sealed up."

"Then what should we do? Can't we allocate the 'Shang'-class battleships to the various garrison fleets?"

"Our officers and soldiers on the Shangyue will wait for the next assignment or...discharge.

This time, there are hundreds of full-armor battleships and battlecruisers withdrawing from each main fleet. Except for a part that will be allocated to the garrison fleet, the rest of the main battleships will be sealed.

Moreover, the existing all-steel battleships of each garrison fleet, as well as some old battleships, will all be scrapped in the future. "

Upon hearing this, first officer Hao Hongwu immediately said in frustration: "The Royal Army has already started reducing its troops, and now it's finally our Royal Navy's turn. I just don't know how many officers and soldiers we have to lay off this time?"

The captain Lu Dong patted the shoulder of the first officer Hao Hongwu, "It will not be your turn to cut down the army.
