Beiyang 1917

"The meaning of the supervision is obviously to prevent the fields in Zhiluyu from being abandoned due to insufficient farmers. The common people have been recruited to serve as soldiers and civilian husbands. Who will farm at that time?" Xue Dubi said leisurely from the side .

"Director Xue is right. That's what I mean. In addition to the soldiers from Luyu, we will recruit soldiers from provinces with potential future directions. If we need to use force to unify, these soldiers can just shout March with the slogan of going back to my hometown!" Wang Geng continued to point out.

"What about the peasants? Don't you try to recruit in the southern provinces?" Shi Jingting's mind turned quickly, and he said.

"This is a good way! The south fights against the central government all day long, and the peasants recruit from them. It's a good way to get rid of the bottom line!" Qiu Bin said in a hurry when he came back to his senses.

"The Ministry of the Interior said that more than 5000 laborers recruited by Britain, France and Russia have gone out, and the remaining 5000 are still in China. The Recruitment Office under the General Staff Headquarters will take over this matter as soon as possible and send out a recruitment team. To recruit the first batch of soldiers from these laborers, you must strictly check, I mean that the physical conditions must meet the requirements for enlistment, and it is a great achievement to be able to select 5000 out of 2500 people!"

Wang Geng pondered for a moment, then said,

"All budgets are allocated from the funds of the War Participation Office. The Finance Department must be properly controlled. In addition to the Military Law Department, Recruitment Department, and Finance Department, the Staff Headquarters will select personnel as soon as possible to form the Logistics Department, whether it is the 16th Mixed Brigade or the War Participation Department. , whether it's you, Jiang Hongyu, or any of the top soldiers below, I must never be vague about the financial and logistical accounts!

"Director Xue, your Military Law Department and Gendarmerie should enter their roles as soon as possible. First, select personnel from the 16th Mixed Brigade to form a Gendarmerie company to supervise and enforce the law! You report directly to me!"

Wang Geng's voice was firm and unquestionable. Chief of Staff Jiang Hongyu and Chief of Military Law Xue Dubi both stood up and stood at attention, "Subordinates obey!"

"Captain Shi, according to the establishment of your teaching regiment, there are still 2196 soldiers short. You must complete the selection from the veterans of the 16th Mixed Brigade before noon tomorrow. If the Ministry of the Army brings us the munitions and equipment that can arm a regiment of 3000 people , and there are only less than 600 teaching regiment officers sparsely standing on the playground, this is a big joke!"

"Your subordinates obey!" Shi Jingting was elated when he heard the words, he hurriedly stood up and saluted with Liu Yufen, his chief of staff!

"Armment equipment and brand-new quilts will be shipped to Nanyuan before noon, and I will put on new military uniforms to be more energetic. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the whole army will line up on the playground for inspection. Premier Duan and Deputy Chief Xu will come Speaking, the spirit of our model teaching group depends on your work and performance! The 60 yuan owed by Dayang will go to the Bank of Communications to raise it tomorrow morning, and I have already notified the Bank of Communications!"

Wang Geng made serious arrangements and said

"Please don't worry about the supervisor. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they celebrate happy events. They are paid, guns and ammunition, and new clothes. Tonight, the supervisor has slaughtered so many pigs for everyone. Everyone has eaten meat. Brothers will change into pigs tomorrow." The new military uniform must be enough!" Shi Jingting said.

"Supervisor, does everyone have to wear this red armband?" Xue Dubi asked with a red cloth armband in his hand!

"Every soldier in the model teaching regiment must bring it! 3000 red armbands were driven out by several quilt factories of the Army Department in two days! They will be delivered with the new uniform tomorrow!" Wang Geng took out a cigar, which Bian Qiubin has already rushed to strike a match.

This armband is a sample he painted the night before he went to Langfang. The red cloth two fingers wide is wrapped around an armband, and a piece of white cloth with the size of a bowl is sewn in the middle. In the center of the white cloth is the word "Model Army" in bold.

He decided on this military number after careful consideration. At that time, he showed it to Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng, and neither of them objected. Beiyang's military uniform did not have armbands at this time, and wearing a red armband on his arm would be more eye-catching.

After moving out of the old Duan's house that day, the job was directly assigned to Duan Tiezhu, asking him to urge the General Affairs Office of the Ministry of Army to go to the subordinate clothing factory to place the order, which should be shipped together with the new military uniform tomorrow.

Nima, I really don't dare to sew on that swastika, otherwise I'd be really addicted!Wang Geng cursed in his heart.

"Don't we bring the 16th mixed brigade?" Qiu Bin obviously didn't want to lag behind in such trivial matters, so he couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, we'll bring it together after the expansion of the first new brigade of the model army is completed. The training outline, then I'm sorry!"

As Wang Geng spoke unhurriedly, he took out a training outline from his briefcase and spread it on the table!

"Don't dare to say anything else. Don't worry about training the team trained by Mr. Feng!" Shi Jingting said indifferently, while picking up the outline on the table, and the other guys hurried over to look at it.

Seeing this, several people gasped, and Qiu Bin asked in a trembling voice,

"Supervisor, it's nothing to do five kilometers of armed cross-country every day, but isn't it too dangerous to crawl forward in barbed wire and ponds under the live ammunition of machine guns! And everyone has to learn to swim and drive a car. How can this be done? ?”

"How do you know you can't do it if you haven't tried it? From the brigade commander to the soldier, if you can't learn it, don't join the model army!" Wang Geng's face darkened.

"Supervisor, quickly pass through the obstacle area under the environment of live ammunition, what if you get hit by a stray bullet?" Liu Yufen was also a little panicked, in case some idiot got his ass up high, it's not a joke.

"It's better to be beaten to death on the training ground than to die on the battlefield! Remember, if you fail to pass the standard within the specified time, you are still unqualified!" Wang Geng said unmoved.

"Supervisor, digging a single-person bunker is probably not enough time in the winter in the north!" Shi Jingting pointed to a road above, Wang Geng wrote on it, requiring soldiers to use the engineering shovel they carry with them to dig a single-person bunker in 15 minutes. The bunker was dug into a squatting bunker with a height of half a person in three to 10 minutes.

"An army that doesn't know how to dig fortifications is not a qualified army. It is impossible for either side in a war to be on the offensive forever. This is not negotiable!" Wang Geng did not let go!

"Supervisor, does this grenade have to be thrown over 50 meters? This...I'm afraid there will be many people who can't do it!" Jiang Hongyu frowned.

In fact, the minimum standard for the troops in the previous life was to throw 30 meters, because the explosion range of a grenade is generally 25 meters. Wang Geng is a special soldier himself, and he has never seen a throw of 50 meters in his army, so he took it for granted. Such a one.

"This? The first-line field infantry battalion must throw over 48 meters, and the rest of the troops must throw no less than 40 meters!" Wang Geng made a little concession.

"Supervisor, this... It seems a little difficult to shoot 100 rounds and 10 rings with a rifle from a prone position at 70 meters. Of course a sharpshooter can do it, but after all, not everyone can be a sharpshooter!" Shi Jingting discovered another problem.

"Hey..." Wang Geng realized that he was a little too hasty. It was obviously too much to demand the entire army with the request of special forces. The man frowned and said, "Then, how do you do it?"

"If you shoot a 100-meter rifle in a prone position, 10 out of 7 can be considered an excellent shooter?" Liu Yufen asked tentatively.

"The bird is an excellent shooter, so it can only be considered qualified! Anyone who is less than 10 out of 7 will be kicked out! The model teaching group is not a nursing home!" Wang Geng said with a grin.

As soon as this remark came out, several officers here were a little worried. Not everyone in this group of guys can guarantee a 100 meter 10 out of 100 or more, and a distance of 10 meters. In fact, the half-human chest target is bigger than the front sight in sight. How much, 7 out of [-] is really not that easy to fight!

Wang Geng was unmoved, hey, what kind of soldier is not allowed to shoot with a gun, the battlefield environment is not as easy as a shooting range in a real war, if you miss it, you are wasting bullets, ignoring and wasting your own life!I will force you to practice first before talking!Otherwise, I think your belly is so big that you can't lie on the ground!

"I know that the 16th Mixed Brigade used to have insufficient ammunition and ammunition, and everyone had little training in live ammunition shooting. Since we are going to train a strong army from the direct line, and you are in your prime, if you don't shed a few layers of skin, you won't be able to train this soldier! Chief of Staff, you have to give me a hand in logistical support, your staff headquarters is my big butler! There are enough bullet tubes, and every sharpshooter is fed by bullets!"

Wang Geng was obviously very angry, Jiang Hongyu had no choice but to nod in agreement!While thinking about himself as the chief of staff, he had to quickly pick up his marksmanship even if he was free.

"Everyone, I will leave the matter of recruiting workers, recruiting soldiers, and training soldiers to everyone! After the military parade tomorrow, I may spend most of my time negotiating with the big powers in the city. All of you who are present in the three-acre land in Nanyuan will do it for me." Take care of it! Are you confident?! Every night I have to see a daily progress report, is there any problem!" Wang Geng growled!

"Don't worry about the supervisor! No problem!" Everyone present hurriedly stood up and answered!

Jiang Hongyu, Shi Jingting, Liu Yufen, Qiu Bin, and Xue Dubi, the five generals, have in fact become the early starting team of Wang Geng's model army from this day on.
