However, this series of military reforms does not involve the Guards!
The Royal Guards is quite special. It is independent of the Army and Navy, and does not belong to the Supreme Command. Instead, it has its own Guards headquarters with various agencies under it. They even run the military academy themselves. …
Because they are not the standing army or the national defense force of the Daheng Empire, but belong to the royal family's private army.
Even though Lin Ziran is the emperor of the empire, the difference between the royal family's private army and the national standing army is still huge.
When the Daheng Empire initiated the reform of the highest military command structure, the Orr War in the Southern Continent was still raging, and the Daheng Empire innovated the tactics and equipment of the army and navy based on this war. to cope with future situations.
However, these were not the focus of the Daheng Empire in the eight years of Qian Sheng!
In the eighth year of Qian Sheng, the main focus of the Daheng Empire is still on comprehensive economic development. It is still working hard to expand the cultivated land area, promote agricultural mechanization, and change the agricultural structure; it is still working hard to improve the domestic industrial technology level, and to Improve the market competitiveness of Daheng Empire’s products.
The empire must take advantage of the fact that the Kruls are stuck in the quagmire of the Orr War and have no time to look around, and hold high the banner of free trade to march into the markets of various countries around the world!
In fact, Lin Ziran didn't understand why the Kruls insisted on attacking such a hard nut as the Orr Kingdom. They went to war with a hard nut like the Orr Kingdom for that little bit of gold and oil.
Even if they can win it in the end, how much will it cost?
It is said that the Kingdom of Krul has issued three national bonds to raise one billion yuan for this war. But looking at this momentum, one billion is just the beginning. I don’t know how much it will cost in the future. , in a few more years, the Kingdom of Krul is afraid that it will go bankrupt, just like the Ji Dynasty of the Daheng Empire in the Heng'ao War!
War costs money, and it costs a lot of money. One may go bankrupt...
The people of Daheng learned this truth through the Heng'ao War, and they also experienced it deeply again during the Unification War. After all, the national debts issued in the First War have not been paid off yet...
So, don't look at the people of Daheng who act like they're going to beat you up if you're not happy, and they're ready to start a war at every turn.
However, Daheng has really not fought with other countries in the past few years since its reunification. At best, it has only engaged in gunboat diplomacy a few times with a few small talk. The most common thing it has done is to jump in and out of the car, encourage other countries to go to war, and then So that you can make money by selling your own arms...
The diplomats of the empire now like to tell the outside world that we Daheng people are a peace-loving nation and promote the idea of a peaceful world...
But other countries, nine out of ten, believe that the Daheng Empire is accumulating strength and preparing to start a world war or something like that.
The remaining one thinks that the Daheng people are preparing to fight themselves, and these nonsense words about world peace are used to confuse themselves, so the more the Daheng people say this, the more countries such as the Orissa Empire open their eyes and guard against it. With.
Well, the Empire's Foreign Minister Jiang Wanye attended the Endless Overseas Ministers' Conference last year and shouted for world peace during his speech. Within a few days after the Orissa Empire's diplomats returned, the country started building a battleship.
After the Orr War broke out this year, due to the Orr War affairs, many major powers gathered in the Valia Empire. The Imperial Foreign Minister Jiang Wanye once again called for peaceful development and avoid war. Long live world peace...
As a result, after the Orissa Empire's diplomatic envoys returned, the Orissa Empire Army announced the purchase of several large-caliber artillery pieces...
Some diplomats in the empire were speechless!
The top officials of the empire say internally that the development of people's livelihood is more important, but many people in Daheng actually don't believe the official statement. Many people in Daheng believe that the top officials of the empire are holding back a big move, and they might send their troops south that day...
However, the opinions of the outside world and the people did not make the empire's top officials change their strategy: just fight a war if there is nothing to do!
Wouldn’t it be great to make money by doing this business now?
Didn’t you see that our current economic aggregate is already the third in the world, second only to the Kingdom of Krul and the Valia Empire?
Haven’t you seen that our exports of industrial products are increasing year by year, and we are beginning to reap more wealth from around the world?
Don’t you see that our citizens’ lives are getting better and better?
Why fight when you have nothing to do? It hurts to be idle!
Now that the Kingdom of Krul is looking for trouble and wants to attack the hard nut of the Kingdom of Orr, the Daheng Empire is naturally quietly supporting the Kingdom of Orr and dragging the Kingdom of Krul into the quagmire of the Kingdom of Orr, while the other side has already adopted
Various measures have been taken to support the export of various domestic industrial and commercial products.
The Daheng merchants did not even let go of orders for military supplies from the Kingdom of Krul...
In order to save costs, the Kingdom of Krul has been purchasing a large amount of supplies from the Orissa Empire and the Daheng Empire since the war broke out, including food, clothing, gauze, cans, etc.
In order to save money, these people from the Krul Kingdom purchased a lot of various military supplies from the Daheng Empire, including ammunition.
Because the ammunition in their own arsenal is more expensive, the ammunition produced by the Daheng people is cheaper. Of course, the most important thing is that the ammunition consumption in the war in the past six months has been too great. At the same time, the Kingdom of Krul has not carried out any national defense mobilization, so that
The factory was engaged in wartime production. Although the output of their arsenal was not low, it was unable to increase production capacity for a while.
As for Daheng, it has the defense industry system with the largest production capacity on Blue Star. Although the quality is average, the advantage is that it is large in quantity and cheap!
So now in the Orr War, both sides of the war are actually fighting with ammunition produced by Daheng.
Although the Daheng Empire actually supports the Orr Kingdom.
But supporting the Orr Kingdom does not mean that you cannot sell ammunition to the Kruls!
Diplomacy is diplomacy, business is business, they cannot be confused!
After all, weapons export is the only mechanical industrial product that the Daheng Empire can export in large quantities. Even if it is expanded to all industrial products, it is the second largest category of products after petroleum products. The arms trade is the import and export trade of the Daheng Empire.
Very important.
The Daheng Empire needs to purchase various types of advanced industrial machinery and equipment from all over the world, as well as some industrial raw materials, economic crops or special minerals and other specialty products from other countries, all of which require a large amount of foreign exchange.
In the seventh year of Qian Sheng's reign, the total import and export trade of the Daheng Empire exceeded three billion Hang Yuan, and this year it will reach a new high, with the import volume here being more than one billion Hang Yuan.
Such a huge import volume also requires a huge export volume to maintain. Otherwise, how could the Daheng Empire have so much gold or foreign exchange for imports.
