The Russian Empire implemented agrarian reforms throughout the country to improve the living standards of peasants. At the same time, vigorously developing transportation and industry made the national strength of the Russian Empire begin to be significantly improved.

In order to protect industry and commerce, the Russian Empire raised tariffs to avoid the impact of foreign goods.

And all this, in the final analysis, is also to make the Russian Empire more powerful.

Of course, the most basic embodiment is naturally the increase in the military strength of the Tsarist Empire.

Mikhail always had a sense of crisis, and he hoped that the Russian Empire would win a great victory against the Eastern Empire in a few years’ time. I hope to win a big victory in the world war in more than a decade later.

Thus completely changing the fate and development path of the Tsarist Russian Empire and changing the world pattern.

This required the Russian Empire to have strong industrial and military strength. Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

In terms of industrial strength, under his requirements, the Russian Empire was vigorously developing industry and further improving the level of industrialization.

However, this cannot be done overnight.

And the improvement of military strength is naturally of great concern to Mikhail.

After defeating Grand Duke Nicholas, Mikhail was almost in control of the army.

In September 1796, Mikhail summoned the Chief of Army Staff, General Brushilov, the Minister of War General Sukhhomlinov, the Chief of Cavalry, General Gurko, and the commanders of the various military districts to discuss the reform of the Army.

“Generals, I think the previous Battle of Moske must have brought great shock and emotion to everyone. This also shows that the army construction before the empire was fundamentally wrong. We cannot defeat the enemy only by relying only on superiority in forces, cannon fodder composed of a large number of serfs. With the development of science and technology, the development of weapons and equipment, that is unrealistic.

We need to further strengthen the firepower of the army and train a more elite army. In this way, to defeat our enemies.

The situation in Europe and the world is becoming more and more tense. In the near future, a big war will definitely break out. Therefore, we must be prepared!

And the Imperial Army, as the most important military force of the Empire, naturally has to have greater development. In this way, we can win future wars and ensure that the interests of the empire are not harmed! ”

Mikhail said to the generals.

In the military, it is relatively less complicated. A big fist is the truth.

Mikhail was in the Caucasus Military District, and within a few years he built up a guards army to fight the most elite troops of the Russian Empire. Then, naturally, it should be up to him to decide.

Especially now, Mikhail is still tsar. These generals, loyal to His Majesty the Tsar, were rightfully deserved.

“Your Excellency Chief of Staff, let me announce to you the reorganization plan of the Army!” Mikhail said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Brushilov answered.

“Gentlemen, according to His Majesty’s request, the Imperial Army will be fully reorganized in accordance with the previous establishment of the units under the Caucasus Military District. In the end, the Imperial Army would be reorganized into sixty infantry divisions, ten heavy artillery brigades, twenty cavalry brigades, and five mountain infantry brigades. The standing strength of the Imperial Army will exceed 1.4 million men. Admiral Brushilov announced.

The generals had no opinion on this.

After all, the previous battle of Mosk, the army under Mikhail, with strong firepower and even more powerful combat effectiveness, completely hung the guards. The rest of the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was even less an opponent.

Now, it is not a bad thing to reorganize the entire army according to such a template.

“In addition, the Imperial Army next, abolish the military district system!” Admiral Brushilov continued.

“Abolish the military district system?” This stunned the generals.

You know, they are the commanders of the military region! The military district was canceled, so what are they for?

“The Imperial Army will be organized into six army groups next. Each army group has ten infantry divisions, one heavy artillery brigade, and one cavalry brigade. and other units directly under the group army. The remaining four heavy artillery brigades, 14 cavalry brigades and 5 mountain infantry brigades were under the jurisdiction of the General Staff.

Among them, the commander of the 1st Army was General Gurko. The defensive area of the 1st Army is Moske, that is, the surrounding area, and the headquarters of the army group is located in Moske.
