"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"This time, in addition to holding a hearing and debate in Congress, we will also return to the military academy to teach for a period of time, and then you will be promoted!"

In Athens, within the headquarters of the Occupy Army of the Chinese Empire, the commander of the Greek Front was holding a commendation meeting for Ye Zhichao, Yuan Shikai and others, praising their brilliant achievements in the Battle of Sparta, and notifying several people to return to China. The general hearing of the parliament a month later.

Regular Congressional hearings are held every once in a while, or temporarily held during special historical periods.

For example, during this Balkan War, the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army participated in the war. The Ministry of War and General Staff explained that it was a large-scale training and strengthening the practical training of new recruits.

Due to the huge amount of war funds consumed every day, the money comes from the taxes paid by the Chinese Empire. As a democratic and civilized country, the Chinese Empire's citizens have the right to know where the taxes they paid are used and what role they play.

Therefore, the Congress held an interim hearing, and dispatched officers from the front line, soldiers returned to the country, and explained to Congress the situation on the Balkan battlefield, with the focus on winning the battle, so as to tell the citizens that the taxpayer's money became the glory of the empire.

Ye Zhichao, Yuan Shikai and others were very happy. They had been in the position of regiment commander and battalion commander for many years. Especially Ye Zhichao, who is older and cannot be promoted and cannot be promoted to the senior general, they will face retirement and transfer. The same is true for Yuan Shikai and others.

This time, in addition to the Congressional hearing, the Ministry of War also issued a military academy recall order.

The so-called military academy recall, in the eyes of foreign officers, do not know the meaning of it, and are often considered to be a punishment for officers, thinking that the officer is unqualified and is recalled to study again by the military academy.

But in the Chinese Emperor's system, on the contrary, being recalled by a military academy is the highest honor. Because the Chinese Emperor's promotion system has clear regulations that if you want to be promoted, you must evaluate the daily accumulation of merits. After accumulating merits that meet the promotion standards, you can be promoted, but you must return to the military academy to teach for a period of time, often three to five months or one year, and teach your experience and methods of how to obtain merits to the students and students in the military academy.

This system has a huge advantage, that is, the experiences and lessons learned by front-line combat commanders on the battlefield can be quickly summarized and taught to the students in the military academy, so that the students of the military academy can obtain battlefield information and battlefield experience as soon as possible, which will have a huge promoting effect on the future study of military academy students.

They are all military academy graduates. As soon as they graduate from the Chinese Empire, they have a huge battlefield experience. However, military academy graduates in other countries are often people who talk about the war on paper and require a lot of time to accumulate experience. The experienced officers in their country may not tell them the real battlefield practical experience.

In this way, both of them are military academy graduates, the Chinese Empire is one step ahead.

The officers' regiment beat other countries from the starting line, which is the power of the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army.

Ye Zhichao, Yuan Shikai and others naturally knew this regulation and understood that being returned to the military academy meant that a new round of military rank promotion had finally arrived.

For the former Huai Army generals, this is really hard to wait for the flowers to fade away!

But they didn't know that this time they returned to China and returned to the military academy, although they received honors and promotions, from now on, it would be difficult for them to return to the front-line troops to serve as officers.

All of this was arranged by Wu Yong himself, and Li Weiguo neither agreed nor opposed it.

However, he felt a little guilty. After all, history has changed a lot. It is not certain whether Ye Zhichao, Yuan Shikai and others will repeat history.

But based on historical preconceptions, their military careers were cut off and even wanted to kill Yuan Shikai. Li Weiguo was still very guilty about this, so he decided to give these people compensation in other aspects.

This is a later story, but there is no need to explain it in detail.

Not only Ye Zhichao, Yuan Shikai and others were recalled, but many officers who achieved military achievements were recovered. Therefore, this incident did not attract anyone's attention and was soon forgotten by people.

The Balkan War continued, and the Chinese Emperor's side continued to mobilize military academy graduates and newly recruited new students from the rear to fight on the Balkan battlefield in turn to gain practical training opportunities.

The Emperor of China fought very low-key and never launched large-scale battles, all at the division level.

This is because large-scale battles mean large-scale sacrifices. Obviously, the Chinese Emperor's side does not want this. It only trains military graduates and student recruits, and the casualties must be minimized.

Even in some cases, in order to protect these "novices", the military would rather marching like a snail every day, steadily and move forward step by step, than take military adventures, causing a large number of new recruits to be killed or killed.

The Chinese Empire was using the Balkan War to conduct large-scale military training, which made the Allies feel the problem difficult.

The Allies' support for the Balkan Allied Forces behind the scenes is an open secret around the world, but the direct military intervention of the Chinese Empire and the German Empire slapped the Allied in the face.

"It is an indisputable fact that the powerful Allies Group is not ready to go to full war with the Allies!"

The Times newspaper published a title article in detail the overall military strength of the Allies and the comparison with the alliance's* strength.

"In terms of naval power, the total tonnage of naval warships of the Allies Group has exceeded 2.8 million tons, while the total tonnage of the Allies Group naval warships is only 1.9 million tons, and the gap is very obvious. In particular, the first-class super-defying battleship of the Imperial Navy, Thor-class battleship, has been completed and put into service, which has brought huge maritime military pressure to the Allies Group, because the Allies Group's super-defying battleships are still under construction and are expected to be in service within two years at the earliest. The two-year time difference is enough to make the Allies breathless."

"In terms of army strength, the total strength of the Allied Group's standing army is 6.5 million, and the total strength of the Allied Group's standing army is 6.2 million. The gap is not big. But it should be noted that the Chinese Empire is a compulsory military service system, with a population of 400 million and a population of 120 million. After the war breaks out, it can mobilize up to 100 million people to participate in the war. The total population of the Allied Group is less than 300 million, and it can mobilize up to 60 million people to participate in the war. At present, the Allied Group should increase the population as soon as possible, otherwise it can only adopt the tactic of quick battles and decisiveness. If it is delayed, it will inevitably not be able to delay the Allied Group and will lead to a disastrous defeat."

"In terms of economic strength, the economic output of the Allies Group accounts for 56% of the world, while the Allies Group accounts for only 38%. The Tsarist Russian Empire and the Japanese Empire have accelerated the conversion of agriculture to industrial industries, but the industrial foundation is still very weak, making the entire Allies Group's GDP account for only 35% of the world, while the Allies Group's GDP accounts for 62% of the world, 1.5 times that of the Allies Group. This gap will be reflected in war, because the war is the consumption of industrial resources."

"In terms of science and technology, the Allied Powers Group still occupies a leading position. The key manifestation is that the Chinese Empire has popularized high school education. Among the 400 million people, the number of people with college degree or above accounts for 7% of the total population, high school culture accounts for 35% of the total population, junior high school culture reaches 60%, and primary school culture 80%. If it is not included in the elderly population over 60 years old, this proportion will be even more terrifying. The strong cultural level base has caused the Chinese Empire to widen the gap with other countries in the world in scientific and technological research and development, leaving other countries a few streets behind. It is said that the Chinese Empire already has radio communication equipment and has been equipped in the army, but it has always kept it confidential. The Allied Powers Group should pay enough attention to it."

"In terms of weapon and equipment performance, the Allied Power Group has always been under the Allied Power Group in terms of new weapons and equipment. It is also a joint effect caused by the strong scientific and technological research and development capabilities of the Chinese Empire. In terms of weapons and equipment, the Allied Power has been behind the Chinese Empire, eating the leftovers thrown away by the Chinese Empire, and being led by the Chinese Empire. In this Balkan War, the Chinese Empire's firepower reconnaissance assault vehicle became the key to victory in the Battle of Sparta and needed to attract the attention of the Allied Power Group. This seems to be a new war concept, and the Chinese Empire seems to be trying this new tactic."

This report by Thames has attracted the attention of politicians and military personnel from all over the world.

Especially within the agreement, the response was strong.

Regarding the incident of fire investigation of the assault vehicle, American President Grant personally called William to inquire.

The British Emperor who did not attach importance to the army made William very embarrassed. He couldn't answer for a long time, so he could only make a few perfunctory words to express his reply as soon as possible.

Grant also rolled his eyes and secretly scolded the British for being stupid. When is it now? The Allies and the Allies are at odds and may trigger a world war in the next moment, but the British did not pay attention to the Balkan battlefield at all. To be precise, they did not pay attention to the land battlefield. Will the British Empire only fight naval battles in the future? You don’t want your colonies?

In desperation, I finally made a phone call and couldn't hang up without discussing anything.

"How are you doing about the radio?"

William breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the British Empire had already started researching on radio.

"Although there are certain achievements, there are still problems with practicality!"

The radio technology of the Chinese Empire has been successfully developed for many years. Not only are the radio systems installed on naval warships, but the Army Dragoon Regiment equipped with radio combat vehicles. At the same time, the major military bases and major cities of the Chinese Empire have installed radio communication systems.

At the beginning, the number was small and the scale was small. The Chinese Empire did successfully keep the secret. However, with the maturity of radio equipment manufacturing technology, the cost dropped sharply, and relevant government departments also began to install and use it. It is not limited to military use, and the full deployment of public utilities will inevitably be known to other countries.

Of course, even if this secret has never been known by the Allies, as time enters the 1990s, scientists from Europe and the United States will start researching radio.

For example, Marconi and others have already begun to study radio technology.

Because the Chinese Empire's scientific and technological level has been ahead of European and American countries for more than 20 years, the Chinese Empire used technological products to make a fortune in silence and monopolize trade globally, which made European and American countries finally realize the importance of talents. They do not control the flow of talents as before. Many talents are no longer allowed to go abroad, especially to the Chinese Empire.

Among them, Marconi and others were representatives. They were controlled by the Allies early, making it impossible for the Chinese Empire to take them away, and it was even more difficult for them to assassinate them. In the end, Britain also had radio research and development capabilities and made progress.

Grant said: "Our intelligence shows that the Chinese Empire does have mature radio technology and began to equip the army ten years ago. The Chinese Empire Navy had a major modification that was to install radio systems. They could communicate with each other at sea, but we could only contact each other with short distances by relying on flag language."

When William suddenly felt refreshed when he mentioned the Navy.

He knew very well what Grant mentioned was the huge advantage of naval warships in maritime radio communication.

The British Empire was a naval power and has always been proud of the navy.

Just imagine, in naval battles, the flagships of the British Empire could only pass command orders by relying on flags and flags and can only command for short distances. In combat, smoke filled the gunpowders and the waves of shells blew blocked their sight, causing the flags that already had short-distance communication to even be interrupted. Even if they were not interrupted, from the flagship issuing the flags and orders to the ships receiving the orders and starting to execute the orders, this often takes several minutes or even ten minutes, especially when a large-scale main fleet is maneuvering, it is possible to convey an hour of one order.

However, the flagship of the Imperial Navy can contact each ship via radio, and a command is issued, and the other ships can act as a whole in more than ten seconds.

What a big gap!

You should know that before the naval battle breaks out, the fleets of both sides will constantly change positions and combat formations.

If the Chinese Empire Navy and the British Empire Navy are constantly changing their formations when they are fighting, the British Empire flagship will have to continuously make a response strategy to change the formation. Then, just tossing back and forth a few times and fighting a time difference will be enough to exhaust the commander of the British Empire and put the British Empire fleet in an unfavorable formation to fight. The result is self-evident.

Thinking of this, William sighed and said, "We have tried our best! The current radio transmission distance is only more than ten kilometers! I heard that the radio technology of the Chinese Empire has reached global communications!"

Grant also sighed: "We did get this information. Last month, a large warship of the Chinese Empire Navy entered the South Pacific and was wandering around Antarctica, but I don't know what to do. Later, we unexpectedly received the long-distance radio transmission test signal of the Chinese Empire at the Radio Experiment Center in New York. Because it was an encrypted signal, we could not crack it, but we collected intelligence through various channels, and finally proved that the Chinese Empire was conducting an Arctic and South radio communication experiment. At that time, a communication ship was in the Antarctic and one was in the Arctic Ocean. Although the radio technology of the Chinese Empire had global communication capabilities, we only need to equip the navy with radio. The transmission distance of more than ten kilometers is enough."

William immediately smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it's not the case! Although it can transmit more than ten kilometers, the radio equipment is bloated and expensive, and it is difficult to install it on a warship. It is necessary to make major changes to the warship design. At the same time, this thing is too power-consuming, and the components are not up to standard and cannot be used in harsh situations."

"Damn it!" Grant was so angry that he knew that the Chinese Empire could produce components installed on these radios, but unfortunately it was strictly restricted to the Allies and it was difficult to obtain.

"Why? Why do our technology always lag behind the Chinese Empire?"

"This is also a question I want to know!"

William answered helplessly.

Grant sighed and said, "Look, we still need time!"

William nodded and said, "I think yes, we cannot go to war with the Chinese Empire at the moment, and our preparations are not sufficient!"

Grant sighed again: "My health is getting worse day by day. I hope to defeat the Chinese Empire in my lifetime!"

William was shocked and realized that Grant was indeed older and seemed to be 70 years old. If Grant hadn't launched a military coup, he would have retired long ago.

Of course, if it were Li Weiguo, he would say angrily: "Grant should have died ten years ago!"

William was scared. If Grant died suddenly, what would happen in the United States? You should know that Grant relied on his own prestige to suppress all American forces and achieve dictatorship. If he died, will all American forces still be honest?

At least the American democrats will not be idle now. They have received the protection of the Chinese Empire and established their own army and government in exile with the help of the Chinese Empire. Once Grant dies, the democrats will definitely fight back, and then civil war will break out in the United States again.

If a civil war breaks out in the United States, will the Allies still have the ability to confront the allies? I'm afraid even a Chinese Empire can't beat it!

Thinking of this, William suddenly shivered and suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"Mr. President, I think, we seem to be overlooking a very serious problem!"
Chapter completed!
