Chapter 3208

In April and February of the year 1657 in the Haihan calendar, in the east of Hangzhou, on the banks of the Qiantang River.

As one of the major events of next year's National Day celebrations, the officially organized weapons and equipment exhibition opens grandly here.

With the warm-up of the series of activities in the past few days, the public also showed great enthusiasm for the exhibition. Thousands of people came to the riverside early in the morning, waiting for the official opening.

The Executive Committee attached great importance to this event. Defense Minister Yan Chujie personally attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech to thousands of onlookers.

"Everyone, the Haihan Army has been invincible and invincible in the past thirty years. Is this due to the most advanced and powerful weapons and equipment in the world?"

"Any young person who is determined to make a successful career should join the Haihan Army and serve the country. We will learn not only military skills in the army, but also all the conditions needed for success!"

Yan Chujie used a large space in his speech to promote the military conscription, taking this opportunity to attract more young people to join the military, which was one of the main purposes of his attendance at the event.

At this time, the attention of most people in Bu Nao has long been attracted by the row of naval ships behind Yan Chujie. For ordinary people, those large ships that are beyond their understanding are the real attractions.

The military arranged for this exhibition more than 20 large and small naval ships, including the "Zhoushan", most of which are from the East China Sea Fleet. These naval ships docked along the north bank of the Qiantang River, with a distance of two miles from end to end.

Many places.

Some of the ships will be open to the public in different batches at different times, which may be one of the reasons why so many people come to watch.

In addition to the navy, a cannon that was unveiled at the West Lake military parade last month was also transported there to be displayed to the public. The regret that the military parade was too far away to be seen clearly can finally be made up for.

.

The entire exhibition will last for seven days. During this period, in addition to equipment display, one or two special lectures will be held every day. Some combat heroes selected from combat troops from various places will be there to tell the public about their military life and

Combat experience.

For ordinary people, such an opportunity is really rare. They can usually learn about the war through the news in newspapers or the performances of storytellers, but rarely hear descriptions from those who have experienced it.

In addition, the indispensable recruitment link will also run throughout the entire exhibition period, and the Donghai Region is not the only one recruiting new soldiers there this time. Other overseas regions will also set up recruitment points there to attract soldiers with generous treatment.

While Wang Anbang directed his leg to arrange the recruitment points, he listened carefully to Yan Chujie's speech in the distance.

One of his main tasks when he returned to China was to recruit as many immigrants and recruits as possible. This task sounds simple, but in practice it is not easy either.

Overseas regions have already had relatively mature routines on how to recruit immigrants and new soldiers.

How to carry out effective publicity, what conditions to offer to be attractive, and how to place the recruited people, there are multiple plans for reference in every aspect.

Wang Tom was worried that the young Wang Anbang was inexperienced, so he specially sent several experienced military recruiters and immigration officers to return to China with him. Therefore, the specific operation process did not require Wang Anbang to worry too much.

Wang Anbang originally wanted to find another way and set up the recruitment point near the beautiful West Lake. However, in the face of strong opposition from the East, he had to compromise and honestly came to the arms exhibition to set up a stall.

However, near them, there were recruitment points in several other regions, and the competition was almost to the point of being face to face, which also made Wang Anbang a little dissatisfied with the persistence of the Dongren.

If you can follow your own ideas and set up the recruitment point by the West Lake, where there are many tourists and there is no competition among peers, will it be easier to recruit immigrants and new soldiers?

The North American region also has its own unique advantages, such as the group of Spanish prisoners of war that Wang Anbang escorted back from across the ocean thousands of miles away.

Wang Anbang ordered people to drive a few wooden stakes on the ground and fasten the prisoners of war to the wooden stakes with shackles, which soon attracted many people to watch.

Ordinary people may not know what kind of achievements the Haihan Army in North America has had, but the large group of arrogant prisoners of war in front of them is enough to show whether that army is decent and whether it is in overseas battlefields.

The strength of the combat troops that have achieved brilliant military exploits cannot be underestimated.

Seeing that there were more and more people watching, Wang Anbang and several gangsters quickly took out flyers that had been printed in advance and distributed them to the curious people.

There are two types of leaflets, one with the content of recruiting immigrants and new soldiers. Immigrants automatically obtain local household registration from the month they arrive in settlements in North America, and can apply for a certain amount of private land from the local government according to their own needs.

This is slightly different from the practice of some overseas regions that allocate thirty to fifty acres of land to immigrants per household. North American regions do not even set a limit on the land area that can be applied for.

Those who choose to join the army directly and choose to retire after their service period will not only enjoy the same treatment as ordinary immigrants, but also receive a very considerable settling-in allowance linked to their years of service.

Sure enough, someone soon noticed the description of the land distribution policy in the leaflet. It was so unbelievable to ordinary people that if you go to the local area, you can become a big landowner overnight.

?

That's when someone came to inquire whether the land distribution was really as the leaflet said, the government could give as much land as they wanted.

Wang Anbang gave a positive reply: "They in North America are currently following that rule, but the prerequisite is that the land allocated to me must be fully utilized. The government will conduct random inspections regularly. If a large area of ​​the allocated land is abandoned,

The government will also take back the abandoned land."

"I can ask for as much land as I have the strength to do. For those who run farms and pastures, it is not common for a family to have a thousand acres of land."

Someone asked tentatively: "Master, if you put it that way, you can get as much land as you want over there, isn't it very worthless?"

Wang Anbang said with a smile: "I misunderstood. They have a vast land, sparsely populated areas, and few land transactions. As for the value of the land, the country spent so much military expenditure and sent troops thousands of miles to the other side of the ocean to fight the Spanish.

Establishing local settlements regardless of cost so that immigrants can enjoy such treatment, do I think those lands are worth anything?"

The current population size of North America is completely out of proportion to the area it controls, so it has formulated a seemingly unrestricted land distribution policy. But whether it can prevent someone from taking advantage of the loopholes to maliciously enclose land, the official has not yet decided

The back leg stipulates that the land applied for by immigrants must be effectively used.

But regardless of this, for ordinary people abroad who have no land, is such a land distribution policy still very attractive? They seemed to understand immediately why someone would be willing to leave their hometown and follow the Haihan Army to such a distance

place to settle down.
