I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Tao Dongcheng and the five of them, although the official rank is the same, but the status is still different.

This is particularly evident in the titles of titles, like Xue Guiren and Dong Tianbao are now marquis, and they are still less hereditary.

Although Tao Dongcheng is also a marquis, he is missing a hereditary.

But he doesn't have to worry, next time he makes a great contribution, he can become a lesser hereditary.

Dahua's reward for the title now has a mature mechanism.

The five of them, plus the two from the navy, plus the chief of staff and the chief of logistics, constitute the first echelon of the Dahua military's real power.

As for the second echelon, they were the commanders of the main divisions and the leaders of the special arms.

This group of people suddenly increased a lot, there were about 60 people.

Among the more than 60 people, they are roughly divided into two factions, one is the old school and the other is the new school.

The veterans are those who survived by their qualifications, such as Li Lianfan, Xu Yuxian, Qian Sule, and Ning Chenggong.

The freshmen came from those with excellent grades in the military academy and were very capable, but because they fought relatively few battles, they had little military merit.

This part is represented by Zou Jing, Tang Hu and Liu Bolong.

Although they are both in the second echelon, there is a big gap in their status or influence.

For example, Air Force Chief Ning Xiang, if it wasn't for the small size of the Air Force, he would have been squeezed into the first echelon long ago.

However, the development of the Air Force has stagnated, and there has been no breakthrough. Compared with other weapons, the cost performance is too low, which makes the military do not like it.

As a result, the size of the Air Force could not be expanded, and Ning Xiang could not do anything about it.

However, no matter what, he is the largest in the Air Force, and he has much more power than the general commander of the main force.

In addition, the seniority is also old, and the title is also high.

Slightly worse than him are the people like Li Lianfan. Because they have participated in many battles, they have accumulated a lot of credit, and their titles are much higher than those of the freshmen.

This situation led to a phenomenon in the Dahua Army.

That is, the old people generally become conservatives, while the new ones are very radical and actively promote the plans around the Raiders.

If you are willing to study, you can find that those conservatives are generally in the Central Military Region, while the division commanders of those radical factions are all in the Frontier Military Region.

Wu Changqing only announced the rewards for these two echelons. As for the officers in the third echelon and below, the military will issue them after the celebration.

At the celebration, Wu Changqing certainly did not have so much time to announce them one by one.

You know, the number of people in the third echelon is almost ten times that of the second echelon.

Of course, Wu Changqing didn't just commend high officials.

He also selected some of the low-level officers and soldiers who had made great achievements to commend and award medals. Among them, five were awarded second-rank golden knives, and more were third-rank golden knives.

The number of soldiers who received the Silver Sabre Medal was more than that of officers.

Wu Changqing personally awarded medals to the second-grade golden swords and second-grade silver swords, and as for the third-grade ones, the military department did it for them afterwards.

The whole celebration lasted for nearly a day, and it took half a day just to read the heroic deeds of those people.

Of course, it's all worth the time.

The people who came to watch them listened to the deeds of those heroes, and they were all moved.

This propaganda effect is quite good.

"After this award, I don't know when the next big award will be."

Xu Yuxian complained.

He was not able to squeeze into the first echelon, and he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

In terms of credit, his credit is no less than Xiong Rulin, and in terms of ability, he doesn't feel that he is inferior.

Unfortunately, now Xiong Rulin has become the commander of the military region, but he is only a division commander.

Although there is not much difference between the two in terms of titles, there is still a big gap in status.

More importantly, there will be no major wars in Dahua for a long time, and it will be difficult to get credit.

In other words, if he wants to climb up, there is no drama.

"Mr. Xu, what are you worried about? It's only been four years since Dahua was established. You are already a half-step commander. After a few more years, will you still be able to lose the position of commander?"

Duan Qiming said with relief that he was more satisfied with the status quo.

In fact, these old people, the speed of promotion is not slow.

In peacetime, if a general wants to reach the top, there will be no drama for thirty or forty years.

"Having said that, we all started from regiment commander or even brigade commander, and it took us so many years to get promoted one or two levels. And look at our juniors, who came out of the military academy, from battalion commander to division commander. It took less than two years.”

Xu Yuxian said helplessly, there is no harm without comparison, mainly because Huajun has too many fast-rising rookies, which makes him feel a gap in his heart.

"Otherwise, Lao Xu, you apply to your Majesty to change careers to go to the navy. It's easy to be promoted in the navy. Look at Bai Bainian, this guy used to start lower than us, it's because he changed careers to the navy, and now it's so beautiful.

Moreover, it is no secret that His Majesty wants to vigorously develop the navy. I estimate that it will not be long before the navy will have a few more fleets, and then there will be a fleet commander, and that will also be the first echelon. "

Li Lianfan came up with a bad idea.

Although the method is a method, if Xu Yuxian really applied, he might be criticized by Wu Changqing.

What does it mean to take the army with you and switch to the navy?

In the past, naval talents withered away, and there was no way to do so.

The current navy already has a complete set of talent training processes, officials are also promoted internally, and they rarely accept airborne landings from the army.

"I think you are really worrying too much. The world is so big, are you still worried that there will be no wars? There is a Fusang next door, and there are Yarkand and Tubo to the west, Annan and other countries in Southeast Asia, and India in South Asia. In these places, the navy and land Can the people in the team solve it? In the end, it's not up to our army."

Zhang Yingyuan complained.

He felt that Xu Yuxian and others were just worrying about it, because according to their current promotion rate, a military commander and a marquis would definitely not be able to run away in the future.

After all, there are still a lot of places in this world that have not been recovered.

At that time, because the territory is too large, the commander of the military region may have to add another position such as governor, otherwise it will be inconvenient to manage.

Zhang Yingyuan felt that instead of worrying about not fighting, Wu Changqing would hide them in the future in order to centralize power and prevent his subordinates from having too much power.

Just like Li Shaobin and others, the official position is promoted to commander-in-chief, and after the title is promoted to duke, the real power is deprived, and an honorary position is given and then sent to old age.

Of course, when you reach that level, you are already a minister, and there is really nothing to pursue.
