Chapter 746 Recruiting new soldiers

Sun Zhen followed the team and was about to board the ship. Finally, he couldn't help but approached Lieutenant Tang and asked, "Sir, where are we going by boat? Are you sending me to Qiongzhou Island?"

Second Lieutenant Tang looked back at Sun Zhen and responded with a smile: "Where is it so easy to get to Qiongzhou Island? We are sending you to Penghu Island next door to accept the review for enlistment. If you fail, you will have to be sent back to the immigration camp to continue your stay.

With."

Sun Zhen muttered: "We didn't check it from head to toe before, so why do we need to check it again?"

"The previous inspection was for immigration, and it is not the same as the inspection for joining the militia. You will know when you get there!" Second Lieutenant Tang only said one sentence without explaining in detail. He waved his hand and said: "Follow the team.

, don’t think too much and get on the boat!”

Sun Zhen had nothing to gain and thought he had nothing to worry about. He looked at Penghu Island, which was clearly visible a few miles away, and then followed the team onto the boat.

In fact, if the standard immigration recruitment process is followed, newly arrived immigrants must first undergo an observation period of at least seven to ten days to confirm that they are not suffering from various acute infectious diseases before they can start accepting military registration. However, this Penghu base is different from

There are some differences in other places that accept immigrants. That is, all islands here, including Baisha Island, are still under military control. The person in charge here is military general Qian Tiandun, so all resources and rules of conduct are also under military control.

There are signs of leaning towards the military.

With Qian Tiandun's style of doing things, he would naturally not wait for these new immigrants to stay here for enough time, then transfer them to Hainan Island, where they would then select people from among the immigrants who arrived to join the army. After completing the recruit training, they would then

Assigned to serve in Fujian. Instead of going through such a big circle, it would be better to recruit soldiers directly from the time the immigrants arrived here. After bringing out the Annan militia that was good at fighting in tropical environments, Qian Tiandun was very confident about his ability to lead troops.

He also gained great confidence and gained the trust of the Executive Committee and the military, which authorized him to have autonomy in recruiting and training new recruits.

There is a deep-water port at the Penghu base, which can provide the conditions required for the stationing of a large fleet. There is enough land area that can be developed into agricultural land, and the food grown can easily feed the local population and garrison. There is a commercial trade port that is being implemented.

In addition to part of the revenue being turned over to the base camp, it can also subsidize the cost of local infrastructure projects. Considering the radiation effect of the location of the Penghu Islands on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the conditions are quite suitable for raising a medium-sized army here.

.

In Qian Tiandun's plan, the role of this army is not only to station in the local area and undertake defense tasks. In the future, Haihan will need to use this army as a pioneer if he wants to control Taiwan Island and even expand the military control area to the north.

.Recruiting some new soldiers who are familiar with the area north of Fujian to prepare for future military operations has become a step in Qian Tiandun's plan.

The continuous arrival of refugees from Shandong undoubtedly provided Qian Tiandun with an excellent choice of soldiers. These Shandong people were simple, brave, and physically stronger than the people from the south. Even in later generations, they were one of the main sources of soldiers in China.

Before Sun Zhen's group of refugees arrived in Penghu, the military had already recruited about two hundred qualified recruits from the immigration camps. The enlistment training of this group of recruits will be completed in Penghu, and most of them will also be listed in the army.

Being enlisted to serve in the troops commanded by Qian Tiandun, for these northern soldiers, it is completely expected to return to their hometown one day.

The voyage of several miles arrived in a matter of seconds. Before Sun Zhen could even think about when he would be sent to the battlefield, the ship had already docked at Magong Port on Penghu Island. At this time, Lieutenant Tang, who was leading the team, had also arrived. With a smile on his face, he said to Sun Zhen and others: "Line up and follow me to get off the boat. You are not allowed to walk around at will when you get to the dock. All actions are subject to my command. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded in confusion, Lieutenant Tang frowned and said, "Answer me with your mouth, do you understand?"

"Understood!" This time everyone responded in unison.

After Sun Zhen got off the boat, he found that there were no black policemen on the pier here. Instead, there were Haihan soldiers in gray clothes. These Haihan soldiers had expressionless faces with one hand behind their waist and the other hand. The musket was about five feet long, with a narrow-bladed bayonet about a foot and a half long mounted under the barrel pointing upwards. They all looked murderous.

Sun Zhen and others followed Lieutenant Tang and were led forward by him. After walking for about half a mile, they came to a courtyard. Sun Zhen actually recognized the words on the plaque hanging at the door. , it is the "Recruitment Office of Haihan Militia Penghu Base". There are two fully armed Haihan soldiers standing guard next to the gate, both of them standing there with expressionless faces like statues.

The courtyard is a traditional Chinese-style building. There is a main room in the middle of the two side rooms. There are passages on both sides of the main room. It seems that there is at least one entrance to the courtyard behind it. Lieutenant Tang brought Sun Zhen and his team to the door of one of the side rooms. Sun Zhen took advantage of the queue. When I was walking, I looked around at the furnishings in the room. There were a row of cabinets with ceilings on both sides of the wall. However, the cabinet doors were closed, and I didn't know what was inside. In the middle were two desks, one facing the other. There is one person sitting on each side. There are pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other stationery on the desk at the side. It seems that the person is responsible for recording the documents, and the person sitting in the main seat is probably the chief officer in charge of recruiting soldiers.

After Second Lieutenant Tang entered the room, the two men stood up and raised their hands to salute Second Lieutenant Tang. After Second Lieutenant Tang returned the salute, he handed the list of personnel he brought to the hands of the two men: "Report to the chief, these thirteen people are No. 1 The personal information of applicants for the second battalion is here."

The officer sitting in the main seat took the list and handed it to the person sitting next to him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, please sit down and listen."

Lieutenant Tang saluted again and then sat on the stool next to him.

The person responsible for interviewing and reviewing recruits is Chen Yixin, a young officer who has recently arrived in Penghu. Of course, he is not the only one responsible for reviewing recruits. Qian Tiandun and Gao Qiaonan were in the other two rooms at this time selecting other recruits who had signed up for the army. Immigration. Judging from the staffing of the person in charge, the standards for recruiting new recruits here are undoubtedly very high.

"When your name is called, come into the room. You will answer whatever I ask. After answering, you will go back to the team outside. After all of you have answered the questions, we can proceed to the next step. No. If you have any questions, we'll start." Chen Yixin paused for a few seconds. Seeing that no one in the group asked questions, he nodded to the clerk next to him and told him to start the roll call.

"Sun Zhen!" Perhaps by coincidence, the first name that the clerk read was Sun Zhen.

Sun Zhen responded, entered the room, stood in the middle, and replied: "I am Sun Zhen."

The clerk read the personal information in his hand softly: "Sun Zhen, a native of Dengzhou, Shandong, is nineteen years old. His previous occupation was farming. He arrived at Baisha Island this morning. He currently has no other relatives in the area."

After hearing this, Chen Yixin nodded slightly, and then asked: "Sun Zhen, why did you sign up to join the army?"

"I heard from Manager Cheng at the camp that there will be many benefits after naturalization. I want to naturalize as soon as possible. Manager Cheng said that the fastest way is to sign up to join the militia." Sun Zhen answered honestly.

Chen Yixin asked again: "When you join the militia, you become a soldier. Soldiers have to go into battle. Let me ask you, are you afraid of death?"

"Afraid! If you weren't afraid of death, you wouldn't have fled to this place." Sun Zhen's answer was obviously somewhat unexpected.

"Then you want to join the army?" This was the first time Chen Yixin encountered someone answering him like this, and asked with interest: "You may die on the battlefield, aren't you afraid?"

Sun Zhen shook his head and said: "In this world, the people die faster than the soldiers. The soldiers at least have swords and guns in their hands. What do the people have? When Kong Youde's soldiers invaded Zhuangzi, I only had a hoe in my hand.

I can’t even protect my family.”

"So the reason why you want to be a soldier is actually to save your own life?" Chen Yixin continued to ask.

Sun Zhen thought for a moment before replying: "I will protect whoever provides me with food and clothing!"

Chen Yixin couldn't help but raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Then do you know who will provide you with food and clothing now and in the future?"

"I know, it's the gentleman from Haihan... No, it's the chief!" Sun Zhen seemed to be straightforward, but he also had a flexible side, and he immediately corrected himself.

"It's the Executive Committee. Remember, the Haihan Militia is an army serving the Executive Committee!" Chen Yixin immediately spoke up and corrected Sun Zhen's view again.

Although Sun Zhen didn't quite understand what an "Executive Committee" was, he still nodded heavily, thinking that no matter what kind of immortality this Executive Committee was, I'd better pass this level first.

"Then do you have any personal specialties?" Seeing Sun Zhen's confused look, Chen Yixin explained: "It means that you have some abilities that are beyond ordinary people, such as strong strength, fast running, smart mind, and good eyesight.

Excellent for water...anything goes.”

Sun Zhen shook his head and said: "Sir, I have never compared myself with others, and I don't know if I am good at it. But when I was in my hometown, the people on the farm praised me for my ability to serve the crops!"

Chen Yixin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to ask the next question: "Are you literate?"

"Literacy, I know hundreds of words!" When Sun Zhen heard this question, his face radiated with confidence: "I went to private school for two years when I was a child, and my husband even praised me for my quick literacy! It's just that my family is poor, so buying

I can’t afford pen and ink, so my handwriting is ugly.”

Chen Yixin nodded and suddenly asked a completely unrelated question: "Since your family is engaged in farming, tell me how wheat is grown in Shandong and how it is different from the Jianghuai area in the south.

difference."

Now Sun Zhen was asked about his skills. He licked his dry lips and said, "My family has dozens of acres of wheat fields. This method is different from the season in the south. We sow in spring and sow in summer."

Harvesting, from sowing to harvest, only takes more than three months, which is two or three months faster than the wheat fields sown in the south in autumn..."

When Sun Zhen talked about this topic, he spoke very smoothly and talked non-stop for several minutes. However, Chen Yixin did not interrupt him and listened to him seriously from sowing to harvesting. Occasionally,

Also asked him one or two small details.

After Sun Zhen finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. He scratched his head and said: "Although I am a grain farmer, I would like to ask you to give me a chance to enlist as a soldier and naturalize as soon as possible. After I am discharged from the army, I can go back to the fields."

Take care of farming."

Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not going to recommend you to the farm to play in the mud just yet. Okay, you go out and wait."

Of course, Chen Yixin was not interested in the differences in winter and spring wheat cultivation methods in the north. The reason why he asked Sun Zhen this question was just to test whether this guy was lying about his personal situation. Judging from the details he said

, Sun Zhen is really a farmer who came out of the fields. At least in terms of the agricultural knowledge Chen Yixin has mastered, there is no flaw in it. However, Sun Zhen actually claimed that he had studied and was literate. This is in the recent news.

It is relatively rare among immigrants. Based on the inquiries, Chen Yixin is quite satisfied with the performance of this Shandong man.

Chen Yixin took the transcript that he had just finished transcribing from the clerk. Because this guy got so excited about talking about wheat, the transcript turned out to be three pages long. After a rough look at it, Chen Yixin saw that there were no mistakes or omissions, so he picked up his pen and signed at the end.

Name it, mark it with an A, and then return it to the document for filing and safekeeping.

Next, this team of people was called in one by one to ask about their personal situation, and the questions asked were actually very similar. Chen Yixin wanted to judge whether the identity status they reported was based on the way these people answered the questions and the content of their answers.

Believable, we have a general idea of ​​each person's personality, courage, and whether they are suitable for joining the militia for training. After everyone talks, Chen Yixin will sign the transcript and attach his own rating.

The military's current recruitment review for recruits is divided into interviews, physical examinations, medical examinations, and political reviews. Each link has a corresponding four rating levels of S, A, B, and C to measure whether the person is a qualified recruit.

If more than two reviews are rated C-level, they will be eliminated directly. And if one or more reviews are rated S-level, then after passing all tests, the person may be lucky enough to enter Qiantiandun

The recruits who personally lead the training will receive the training content of the special operations forces from the beginning.

Sun Zhen's evaluation during the interview process was not the highest among his team. There was another person who received an S-level evaluation through his specialty display. This person's specialty is that he has particularly good eyesight, which can be seen from a distance of two feet.

After reading the words the size of mung beans clearly, if he can pass the subsequent test, he will most likely be specially selected to enter the sniper training list, and may even be the lucky one among this group of people to go to Sanya first, because the people in the militia group

Snipers must attend the Army Military Academy there to receive personal lessons from Old Morgan, the top sniper in the militia.
