Chapter 15: Why don’t a man bring Wu Gou

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" In the military camp of the Xichengmen Gate in Guangzhou, the military hero shouted loudly.

The firearms from Shanghai have arrived in Guangzhou. Although the third battalion of "Zhenwei", "Zhenwu" and "Zhenhe" have not started live-fire training, everyone can find a brand new firearm. Instructor Peter has demonstrated it, and the power is like the small cannons equipped by the Green Camp. How can these military brave men not be excited?

Fuliang never set foot in the military camp again. As long as Ye Zhao wrote the charter, he would agree to all the brave officers in the military camp.

In the wooden room on the east side of the military camp, Ye Zhao was looking through Peter's military training rules, which were actually training plans. The tables and wooden chairs in the wooden room were extremely simple.

It’s not that Ye Zhao is reluctant to spend money, but Peter is really careful to make money. If you want to talk about money, Wu Jianzhang made a big deal. He reported the firearm donation and gave the military funds of the three camps of firearms as a normal month. It is more than enough to raise the three camps of firearms.

Looking through the military training code, Ye Zhao gradually discovered a problem. Peter's infantry training was still in a linear queue, with troops placing forward, moving closer to the opponent, shooting with a platoon or arbitrary fire, until one of them launched a charge and decided the outcome by hand-to-hand combat.

Why don’t you dig trenches? Can you avoid unnecessary casualties with trenches?

Ye Zhaozi didn't know that the powerful rifle had just appeared, but the European and American military circles were still following the tactical rules of the past, and the application of trenches would gradually be reflected in the American Civil War a few years later.

Ye Zhao did not understand military affairs, so he naturally had no confidence in speaking. After all, Peter was an excellent officer of this era, but most of his military knowledge came from film and television works.

Therefore, when Ye Zhao asked Peter to speak his trench tactics, he was completely in a negotiating tone, "Peter, the power of the rifle is getting stronger and stronger. Will there be too much casualties if you charge according to your tactics? I don't understand if you want to fight in the field. Do you think this is OK? Dig a trench..." Ye Zhao made gestures, "You can hide in the ditch by defending soldiers on one side. Do you think this is feasible?"

Peter was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he screamed strangely, "Sir, you are an excellent idea, you, you are simply a genius!"

I wanted to hug Ye Zhao, but I knew that the officials in this country were very rules, so I had to shrugg and grin and said, "I'm increasingly finding it's my honor to serve you."

In fact, even if Ye Zhao did not mention it, if you encounter large-scale infantry battles, with the current power of firearms, it will be a matter of time before trench tactics appear in actual combat, but it is different to train in advance.

Ye Zhao now had confidence, so he discussed with Peter the configuration of the engineering team, the training of the firearm battalion, such as using straw men as targets during bayonet training, etc.

Peter admired Ye Zhao more and more, and finally he almost admired Ye Zhao, especially Ye Zhao's catchphrase often said, "I don't understand, do you think this is OK..." Then there was a long speech that made Peter suddenly stunned. In the end, Ye Zhao was embarrassed to use his catchphrase, as if he was just humble.

"Sir, am I honored to be a member of your infantry team?" Peter suddenly asked with a serious look on his face. It seemed that he was not a joke.

Ye Zhao was stunned and then smiled and said, "This, let's talk about it later!" After all, he is a foreigner and the world is unpredictable. Although it sounds far away now, if his dream comes true in the future, how can he not conflict with Britain and France in the Chinese Sea? It is hard to say whether Peter will still be on the same front with him. After all, he is not a businessman, but an imperial soldier, with a sense of honor as a soldier.

Peter showed disappointment on his face.

Ye Zhao smiled and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe there will be a chance in the future."

Peter nodded silently, cheered up again, stood up straight with a slap, and shouted: "Sir, please check your team."

On the playground, rows of soldiers stood straight, and it seemed that Peter's efforts for the past few days were not in vain.

Ye Zhao was dressed in military uniform and a tall and handsome helmet, but he was very majestic. On the other side, the dark soldiers and the solemn aura came to his face, which made Ye Zhao even more excited.

"Soldiers, I apologize to you!" This was Peter's opening remark, but the translation assigned to him was very dedicated and his voice was extremely loud.

The soldiers and soldiers looked confused. If it weren't for the Lord Du Tong, they would have whispered to each other long ago.

Almost all of these soldiers and soldiers have heard of the war ten years ago. Whether it is through parents or veterans, the British army was portrayed as devilish opponents.

This British instructor looked even more arrogant when facing the soldiers. His precise shooting skills, terrifying killing and the magic of talking about military knowledge when he used firearms to demonstrate, made these soldiers unconsciously respect him. Who knows what this foreigner is doing today? Apologize?

Tongzhi's high voice continued to resound throughout the audience: "I used to think that the soldiers of our British Empire were the best soldiers in the world. I think your country is a backward country, but I found that I was wrong!"

"Your country is a magical country. I am ashamed of my pride in the past. I think the best soldiers in the world in the future will be among you, because your commander is the best commander in the world!"

Every time I translated a sentence, my waist was straighter and I was very proud. Since the word Peter used was "Master" and the general translation simply translated it into a commander, not a commander, and the last sentence was even shouted out at the throat.

"Today, just today, I long to be the soldier of your commander, but I was rejected by the commander! I hope that one day, I can become one of you!"

After shouting this sentence by Tongzhi, the soldiers could no longer bear it. They were in an uproar and they started to whisper.

Peter saluted and shouted a foreigner, "Please give me a lecture!" Tongzhi shouted loudly, and the audience immediately became solemn.

Ye Zhao didn't expect Peter to suddenly have such a foreplay and smiled bitterly in his heart. Perhaps Peter was a little overwhelmed to boost morale and enhance the self-confidence of these soldiers. The best commander? He felt that this hat was too big and he couldn't wear it.

But looking at the eager eyes of the soldiers on the field, Ye Zhao gradually closed his jokes. Yes, these people, these people standing in the audience, and the young men in their prime, are at their peak at the moment of their lives. However, it seems that they can imagine their future destiny, with blood sprinkled on the battlefield and bones lush. How many people can return?

But, do they know why they fight?

"Tell me, why are you joining the army?" Ye Zhao asked lightly.

The soldiers and soldiers pursed their lips tightly, their eyes floating.

"Eat food and get salary? Make a name for yourself? I will win a wife and a son?" Ye Zhao asked loudly.

There was a silence in the audience.

Ye Zhao glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "These can be reasons, but not all of them are true. When you serve in a soldier, you must remember four words and defend your country!"

As he said that, his voice became louder, "What is to protect the family? If you have a small family, protect your brothers, sisters, parents and elders from being humiliated! Protect your hometown to live and work in peace and contentment, and not be violated by foreign enemies! What are the fears of a man? The more he is afraid of death, the more he wants to die, and he will die. If he is willing to give up his family, he will protect his family and prosper both in the country!"

"I feel that I want to serve the country when I feel the truth, draw my sword and raise the Iron Lai! I recommend the rivers and mountains with my blood! I will encourage you with you!" Ye Zhao stood with his head raised, with awesomeness and mightyness.

Gang'an, the leader of the Third Battalion Military Affairs Association, took a step forward and shouted loudly: "I recommend the mountains and rivers with my blood!"

"I recommend the mountains and rivers with my blood!" The soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the sky and the earth.
