The usual composition of the Imperial Russian Army, an infantry division is just over 10,000 people. There are even many troops who are dissatisfied. A cavalry brigade, too, is only a few thousand people.

Not only that, the equipment of the Russian Imperial Army was also very bad, not only the number of artillery was small, but even there were not many machine guns.

This is also the reason why in wars, the Russian Imperial Army usually won by numbers.

With the same number of troops, the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was no match for other European powers.

Grand Duke Mikhail naturally wanted to change this situation, and he asked his troops to change the old problems of the Tsarist Imperial Army. Not only is the firepower powerful, but it also strengthens the training of individual soldiers. Even in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, it may not meet the standards of the Germanic Imperial Army. However, it can’t be too bad.

In that case, add to the superiority of the Russian Empire in terms of its own strength, as well as its superiority in population and resources.

In future wars, the chances of victory for the Russian Empire are undoubtedly much greater.

Under the patronage of Grand Duke Mikhail, all units of the Caucasus Military District were reequipped and expanded.

Now an infantry division of the Caucasus Military District has a strength of more than 18,500 people.

Each infantry squad consists of 14 soldiers, including the chief and deputy squad leaders. The chief and deputy squad leaders were armed with a Mosin-Nagant rifle and an additional pistol. In addition, a two-man machine gun squad would be established, with an infantry squad armed with a light machine gun, 13 rifles and two pistols.

Three infantry squads for one infantry platoon. In addition to the chief and deputy platoon commanders, the platoon headquarters is equipped with a hygienist and a herald. In addition, a four-man Maxim heavy machine gun crew and a four-man 60-mm light mortar crew were equipped. The entire infantry platoon, the total number of people is 54 people.

Three infantry platoons form an infantry company. In addition to this, there was a company headquarters, as well as a heavy fire group armed with two heavy machine guns and two 80-mm medium mortars. Each infantry company was about two hundred people.

Four infantry companies form an infantry battalion, plus a battalion headquarters, a heavy mortar platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, a heavy platoon, etc. The heavy mortar platoon is armed with 4 120-mm heavy mortars. The number of each infantry battalion is a thousand.

Three infantry battalions form an infantry regiment. In addition to the regiment headquarters, there were artillery companies, reconnaissance companies, heavy companies and other units. The artillery battery was armed with six field guns. The total number of the regiment was 3,800 men.

Three infantry regiments, plus an artillery regiment, form an infantry division. In addition, the division headquarters also directly has a reconnaissance battalion, an engineer battalion, a heavy battalion and other units, with a total strength of more than 18,500 troops. The artillery regiment was armed with 24 105-mm light howitzers and 48 75-mm field guns.

Thus, an infantry division of Grand Duke Mikhail was armed with 24 105-mm light howitzers and 66 75-mm field guns.

Such firepower, let alone unique in the Tsarist Empire. Even in all of Europe, it is extremely tough.

In a few years, if there is a war with the Toyos, as long as the navy does not drop the chain, the army will definitely be able to blow up the Toyos.

If the Toyo people dare to attack with pig rushes, they will only die more.

With such a formation, the twenty infantry divisions of the Caucasus Military District amounted to 370,000 men.

The remaining ten cavalry brigades were also expanded considerably. Below each cavalry brigade, there were six cavalry battalions, and each battalion was almost the same as the composition of the barracks, except that the soldiers were equipped with war horses and sabers. In addition, there are artillery battalions under the brigade, armed with 24 75 mm mountain guns, as well as other units directly under the brigade. Each cavalry brigade has a strength of more than 9,000 men.

In this way, within the prescribed number, the strength of the Caucasus Military District has reached 460,000 people, exceeding the required number of 160,000.

In addition to this, Grand Duke Mikhail formed a heavy artillery brigade and four mountain infantry brigades.

The heavy artillery consisted entirely of 155 mm heavy howitzers, numbering 144 to further enhance the firepower of the troops.

The mountain infantry brigade, on the other hand, was specially formed for mountain operations because the Caucasus belonged to the mountainous region.

In this way, the number of troops under the jurisdiction of the entire Caucasus Military District has reached more than 500,000.

Although much less than the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia controlled by Tsar Nicholas II. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely stronger than the Tsarist Imperial Army.

With the army already strong, Grand Duke Mikhail’s plan can also be put on the agenda.

“Everything is ready. Then, it is time to send His Majesty the Tsar to God. Only in this way was it possible to quickly take over the Russian Empire. Grand Duke Mikhail said to himself.

On April 30, 1796, Grand Duke Mikhail summoned Lieutenant General Brushilov, Chief of Staff of the Caucasus Military District, and Major General Vasily, Chief of Intelligence.

“Generals, after several years of preparation, everything is already ready. The current situation does not allow us to wait any longer. On the intelligence bureau side, start implementing the ‘Satan Plan’! “Grand Duke Mikhail gave the order.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Major General Vasily was personally promoted by Grand Duke Mikhail and was in charge of the formation of his intelligence apparatus and was loyal.

This most important plan was also drawn up by Major General Vasily himself at the request of Grand Duke Mikhail.

All in order to be able to send Nicholas II to God.
