The usual establishment of the Imperial Russian Army is only more than 10,000 infantry divisions. Even, there are many troops who are dissatisfied. A cavalry brigade, also only a few thousand people.

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

This is why in war, the Tsarist Imperial Army usually wins by numbers.

Under the conditions of equal strength, the Russian Imperial Army was no match for other European powers at all.

Grand Duke Mikhail naturally wanted to change this situation, and he asked his troops to correct the old problems of the Tsarist Imperial Army. Not only is the firepower powerful, but also the individual training is strengthened. 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.

This, combined with the superiority of the Russian Empire in its own forces, as well as advantages in terms of population and resources.

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

Under the auspices 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 are equipped with Mosin-Nagant rifles and a pistol. In addition, a two-man machine gun unit was established whereby an infantry squad would be equipped with one light machine gun, 13 rifles and two pistols.

Three infantry squads are an infantry platoon. In addition to the chief and deputy platoon commanders, the platoon headquarters is equipped with a hygienist and a herald. In addition, there was a four-man Maxin heavy machine gun crew and a four-man 60-mm light mortar group. The entire infantry platoon, the total number was 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 men.

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

Three infantry battalions form an infantry regiment. In addition to the regimental 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 people.

Three infantry regiments, plus an artillery regiment, formed an infantry division. In addition, the division headquarters also directly administered 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 Russian Empire. Even in Europe as a whole, it's extremely tough.

A few years later, there will be a war with the Orientals, as long as the navy does not drop the chain, the army will definitely be able to blast the Orientals.

If the Oriental people dare to attack with pig bursts, they will only die more.

With such a configuration, the twenty infantry divisions of the Caucasus Military District would be 370,000 people.

The remaining ten cavalry brigades have also expanded considerably. Under each cavalry brigade, there were six cavalry battalions, each of which was almost identical in size, except that the soldiers were equipped with war horses and sabers. In addition, there is an artillery battalion of brigades, armed with 24 75-mm mountain guns, as well as other brigade units. Each cavalry brigade has a strength of more than 9,000 men.

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

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

The heavy guns were all 155 mm heavy howitzers , up to 144 guns, to further enhance the firepower of the troops.

The mountain infantry brigade, on the other hand, was formed specifically for mountain operations because the Caucasus belongs to the mountains.

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

Although much less than the army of the Tsarist Empire 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's time to send His Majesty the Tsar to God. Only in this way will it be possible to quickly take over the Russian Empire. Grand Duke Mikhail said to himself.

On April 30, 1796, Grand Duke Mikhail summoned Lieutenant General Brusilov, chief of staff of the Caucasus Military District, and Major General Vasily, head of the Intelligence Service.

"Generals, after several years of preparation, everything is ready. The current situation does not allow us to wait any longer. The Intelligence Bureau, start implementing the 'Satan Plan'! "Grand Duke Mikhail gave the order.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Major General Vasily, personally promoted by Grand Duke Mikhail, was responsible for the formation of intelligence agencies under him 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.
