Forces to Match the Population
Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2023 11:07 pm
Well aware that the existing army is pitiful compared to the population of the nation, Emperor Zheng Yi has given the order for the expansion of all three branches of military, alongside the construction of further naval construction yards, airplane factories, and expansion of ports and airports throughout the nation. Funding is diverted towards these projects, and work is set to begin immediately.
The goals of this will be to recruit at least 250,000 troops, expand the airforce by around 300 aircraft, and roughly double the size of the navy.
Work begins on several naval construction yards, as well as the airplane factories throughout the nation almost immediately, with several being constructed in various locations throughout the nation. Meanwhile, the expansion of existing ports and construction of airports throughout the nation is also underway, with all ports being upgraded and expanded to increased standards. These larger ports will ensure the nation can sustain increased trading activities around the world.
Elsewhere, existing shipyards begin work on the expansion of the navy, with work beginning on the construction of many new ships. Simultaneously, work also begins on the recruitment and training of new officers to man these ships.
Similarly, existing airplane factories will receive several orders for the expansion of the airforce, with work beginning on the construction of new planes as well. As with the navy, recruitment begins for new pilots to fly the planes.
Finally, recruitment campaigns begin throughout the nation, with propaganda being used to help recruit soldiers to fight for their country. Many of the soldiers are informed that by joining the military they will be able to help defend their nation against colonial empires, and to help reconquer the rest of China, something which appeals strongly to the people, thus resulting in many people being eager to sign up and join the military.
