The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 779 Military Training
September 9st is the registration time for many freshmen who have just entered college.

Of course, on this day, there was also a team that came to Southwest Associated University to report.

The only difference is that the two registration methods are different. New students register at the student office set up in each college, while instructors report to the school.

At six o'clock in the morning, the soldiers got on military transport vehicles, drove out of the barracks, and after a long journey, finally arrived at the Southwest Associated University campus.

Afterwards, the person in charge of this military training was the commander of the heavy combined brigade, Qin Tian. After he got off the car, he held the whistle in his mouth and blew it twice quickly.

In less than three minutes, more than a hundred soldiers got off the car in an orderly manner, lined up, counted, and reported.

After Qin Tian received the report, he trotted to Liu Tao, Yang Zhenning and the others, straightened his body and saluted: "Reporting to the leaders, Qin Tian, ​​the commander of a mechanized brigade, has been ordered to report with 150 officers and soldiers for this military training. Please give me your instructions!"

Liu Tao stepped forward, returned the salute to Qin Tian, ​​and then ordered: "Please rest!"

Since the first batch of freshmen of Southwest Associated University received military training, all military training has been conducted by the combined brigade.

Of course, these combined brigades are code-named as mechanized brigades or armored brigades to the outside world.

The commander of the combined brigade led the team to Southwest Associated University, while the commanders of the battalions went to other universities for military training.

This also highlights the unique status of Southwest Associated University.

Liu Tao was deeply impressed by Qin Tian, ​​a man from a family of generals who had worked hard step by step to get to where he is today. After the army expansion, he was appointed commander of a heavy combined brigade.

Liu Tao introduced Qin Tian to Yang Zhenning and others one by one, and then Liu Tao gave them a lecture.

He had only five requirements. The first was to go all out in military training for the students, to train them as if they were new recruits, and not to let them off easy. The second was to fully demonstrate the positive image of a civilized Chinese military, to ensure that they came and went in an orderly manner without any disorder. The third was to show the students military life and to attract them to join the army, but joining the army was voluntary and not forced, and the detailed policies and requirements for joining the army needed to be explained clearly to the students. The fourth was not to accept any gifts from the students and not to take even a single needle or thread from the masses. The fifth was not to have any ambiguous relationships with or fall in love with the students.

"Especially the last one, you are not allowed to fall in love with students! Remember, you are wearing military uniforms, which represents your identity as a soldier. This is an honor as well as a responsibility! No one is allowed to discredit soldiers!" Liu Tao emphasized.

The reason for this requirement is naturally because similar things have happened before, which have caused very bad consequences.

In the end, the instructor was severely punished and ordered to retire.

There is no way, we have to be strict in this regard, because during military training, there will always be students who develop admiration for the instructors.

Once curiosity and admiration arise, it won’t be long before you fall in love.

Although the current social atmosphere is not as strong as it will be 20 or 30 years later, there are always brave girls who write love letters and confess their feelings to their instructors.

But these officers and soldiers are different from others. Each of them is full of honors, and their salaries are high in society. They are not short of money.

There are even a group of people who have submitted applications for discharge from the army, but for the sake of military construction, they have not yet been approved.

Liu Tao was really worried that something bad might happen.

"Understood!" All officers and soldiers answered in unison.

As the president, Yang Zhenning said to the officers and soldiers: "Comrades, welcome to Southwest Associated University. I am very happy to invite an elite team to give military training to our freshmen."

During his several years as president of Southwest Associated University, Yang Zhenning's speaking level was very high.

Afterwards, the Academic Affairs Office gave each soldier an identity card, which allowed them to eat for free in the cafeteria.

Southwest Associated University offered free tuition to students, and also provided living allowances, various scholarships, etc.

Employees and students of Southwest Associated University can eat for free in the cafeteria. However, if you are an outsider, such as a tourist, you need to pay to eat in the cafeteria of Southwest Associated University.

Afterwards, the officers and soldiers who were undergoing military training went to the dormitories that had been arranged. Southwest Associated University was not short of dormitories, and as the entire Southwest Associated University was built, the facilities here were very complete.

The dormitory is a room for four people and is considered to be quite good.

After Yang Zhenning and the others left, Liu Tao stayed behind to get to know the soldiers in military training.

Among the 150 officers and soldiers, the one with the worst honor had two second-class merit medals, and there were many who won first-class merit medals.

The company commander serves as the military training team leader, with every thirty officers and soldiers forming a team.

There are five brigades in total.

Two instructors are assigned to each class.

There are 3300 freshmen in this year, divided into 75 classes, with an average of 44 students in each class.

Liu Tao encouraged everyone and then handed it over to Qin Tian.

The entire military training process had been formulated in advance.

Liu Tao did not expect that this time Qin Tian would actually allow some special forces to join the instructor team.

It seems that the college students and soldiers are very enthusiastic during the military training.

As soon as Liu Tao left, Qin Tian directed the instructors to clean up, and soon all the dormitories were cleaned spotlessly, with the general quilts neatly laid out.

When it comes to housekeeping, the army is an expert. The tofu cubes are dropped neatly, and everything else is arranged cleanly.

Afterwards, Qin Tian called everyone together for a meeting.

"Everyone has heard what the leader said. You must remember it deeply. It is an honor to give military training to the students. Don't let your military honor be tainted! Some of you already have wives and children at home, and some are still single. It's fine if you want to fall in love. Wait until you retire." Qin Tian mobilized everyone.

Qin Tian said in a deep voice: "This time the commander is personally in charge of the military training. I don't want anyone to lose control of themselves and bring shame to the commander. If that happens, I will personally shoot him!"

"Do you understand?"

"I understand!" said the soldiers.

This is the first time that Liu Tao has served as the commander-in-chief of military training since the establishment of Southwest Associated University.

They were all familiar with Liu Tao. Whenever someone won first-class merit or presented the first-class medal of honor, Liu Tao was always there.

Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction. This was not the first time he participated in the military training for college students in person, but it was his first time to participate after being promoted to the commander of the heavy combined brigade.

This time he serves as the deputy commander-in-chief of military training.

Now it is just Southwest Associated University, but when it comes to the middle and late stages of military training, it will not be on campus, but at the Malone Military Training Base. At that time, all the college students in Kunming will gather there for military training.

As college students from a frontier province, their military training standards can be said to be relatively high in the country, because once the war becomes tense, these college students will be given priority to be recruited into the army.

At the same time, it is in this process that we discover some good seedlings.

Some people are born to be soldiers and are very talented.

For example, Qin Tian knows someone who, in just a few years, chose to join the army when he was the first freshman of Southwest Associated University. Then, like riding a rocket, he is now the battalion commander of a heavy combined battalion, and perhaps in a few years, he will become a brigade commander!
