Huang Shihai asked: "Commander, what is the difference between Lu Shaochuan's navy?"
Li Zhen said: "Although the navy is also counted as a regiment, after all, it is different from the other regiments and is independent from the army. Therefore, although Lu Shaochuan's third regiment has a strength of 1,000 people, it can be strengthened according to the regiment's strength.
Standard, slightly increase the number of people. The only thing to remember is that the combat effectiveness of the navy must be ensured, and the number of people cannot be used to support the scene. Especially now that there is a lack of warships, every naval soldier must be used on the edge to maximize the combat effectiveness."
Lu Shaochuan raised his hand in salute and said: "I understand, Commander, please rest assured. I will seize the time to train, and I will definitely beat the shit out of the foreigners next time."
A smile appeared on Li Zhen's serious face. This guy was indeed a pirate.
Turning his eyes to Smith, Li Zhen said: "Smith, you have been with me for the shortest time. Originally, with your military exploits and qualifications, you could become a battalion commander in the army at most, and you did not have the qualifications to serve as a regiment commander. However,
You have your advantages, and the army is still in the transitional stage, so I appointed you as the commander of the fourth regiment. Compared with the other regiments, your tasks are also heavier and have different tasks."
Smith stood up and saluted: "Commander, please give me your instructions!"
Li Zhen said: "You are an American, but you are proficient in Chinese. This is your advantage. You have a regiment with a thousand soldiers, but I also want you to teach the soldiers to learn English so that they can master a foreign language.
.At the same time, you can also set up a foreign language class to teach soldiers in the army who are willing to learn English. Teaching English is an additional additional task, and training soldiers is your main task. I hope you can do both well."
Smith said excitedly: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely complete the task. I will prove that it was a correct and wise decision for the Commander to let me serve as the leader of the fourth regiment."
Li Zhen nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal Li Zhen to sit down.
"Xiuying, you are the only one left."
Li Zhen's eyes fell on Zhou Xiuying and he said calmly.
Zhou Xiuying was wearing armor, raised her head and chest, and said calmly: "I will obey the commander-in-chief's arrangements."
Li Zhen said: "The soldiers under your command are all female soldiers. If you want to recruit a thousand female soldiers at once, it will definitely be difficult. After all, there are too few women joining the army, which conflicts with the current social atmosphere. Many women do not
I am willing to kill my head. Therefore, your fifth regiment will have some male soldiers. You now have 300 female soldiers, and I will leave you another 300 vacancies so that you can continue to recruit female soldiers. At the same time, you will
What do you think about recruiting four hundred male soldiers?"
Zhou Xiuying said loudly: "Thank you so much, Commander! I will definitely train the soldiers well."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "Don't be too busy thanking me. Compared with Lu Shaochuan, Smith and others, your situation is the most complicated. Male soldiers and female soldiers are prone to problems when they train together. This is something you must pay attention to."
.My suggestion to you is to train separately to avoid heckling. Furthermore, you are a daughter. When training male soldiers, it is inevitable that some soldiers will have resistance and there will definitely be various problems. You must be able to suppress them.
Just stay with these soldiers."
Zhou Xiuying raised the corner of her mouth, looked calm and confident, and said loudly: "Commander, the general trained soldiers when he was in the Taiping Army. Now if you can't even frighten four hundred soldiers, then why are you talking about leading troops into battle?
Please rest assured, Commander, the general will definitely train a group of soldiers who will obey the law. Whether it is 400 male soldiers or 300 female soldiers, the general will train them to be brave and powerful, and they will not lose to any other regiment."
After saying that, Zhou Xiuying glanced at Yang Banhou, Qi Zhenhai and others, with provocation in her eyes.
Lu Shaochuan was not an economical person, and he didn't care that Zhou Xiuying was Li Zhen's woman. He said carelessly: "General Zhou, you are not a boaster. The soldiers have not been trained yet. We will know after they are trained and compared.
"
“What I wish for!”
Zhou Xiuying was full of fighting spirit and answered loudly.
Qi Zhenhai also said: "Count me in, let's compare it when the time comes."
Immediately, Smith and Yang Banhou were also dragged in. Before the five regiments were formed, their respective regiment leaders were already fighting tit-for-tat, preparing to compete to determine the winner.
Li Zhen looked at this situation, not only did he not stop it, but he added angrily: "You all know that sophisticated cannons are relatively scarce in the army. Even if the Italian arsenal rushes to produce weapons, they mainly use guns and ammunition, and the cannons produced are not as good as those of ancient times.
The cannon brought by Lina. I set a lottery, and the one who comes first will be equipped with an extra cannon in addition to the weapons that are usually equipped."
Qi Zhenhai's eyes lit up and he asked: "Commander, how do you compare?"
Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "This matter is just on the agenda. There is no charter for the time being, so there is no rush."
Qi Zhenhai added: "Commander, since the last time I went to ambush the soldiers sent by Li Xiucheng and the coalition soldiers led by Adams, I have been thinking about a problem. At first, I used the cavalry shooting design, then used the cavalry to approach the opponent, and finally
Use steel knives to charge and carry out melee attacks. At the same time, the cavalry is also equipped with grenades and other weapons. I think such a battle is feasible. I suggest setting up a cavalry company. The number does not need to be large, as long as more than a hundred people are enough."
After hearing this, Li Zhen leaned back on his chair and thought carefully.
In fact, due to the limitations of weapons and production conditions, weapons of mass destruction such as machine guns are not possible for the time being. It is feasible to form a cavalry company. Most places in Shanghai are flat. Once a machine gun appears, fierce firepower
Under suppression, the cavalry company was of little use.
However, Li Zhen's vision is not limited to Shanghai, but also involves Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. The establishment of a cavalry company will also be useful in the future. After Li Zhen thought clearly, he nodded and said: "Since you have this plan, let's do it in your
You and Huang Shihai will discuss the specific requirements for forming a cavalry company under the regiment. Once confirmed, just give me the plan for review."
"yes!"
Qi Zhenhai was happy and had won another right.
At this time, Li Zhen took out a blueprint from the table, then stood up and took out a weapon.
The blade of this weapon is prismatic, gray-white, with blood grooves on three sides. It is the three-edged military thorn that Li Zhen used in his previous life. Li Zhen handed the three-edged thorn to Huang Shihai and said: "Shihai, try this
weapon."
Huang Shihai took it and waved it twice. His expression was calm as usual, with no surprise at all.
Li Zhen saw this and asked: "What do you think?"
Huang Shihai weighed the three-edged military spur again, shook his head and said: "Commander, I don't think there is anything surprising about this weapon. Ordinary daggers, or even longer swords, can achieve the effect of this weapon."
