Starting from the end of May, the work of the brigade headquarters became busy again. www (novel) After the previous month of preparations, the materials reported by each regiment have been tallied. On the one hand, they have to start asking for them from above, and on the other hand, they have to do it themselves.
Responsible for procurement. The existing batch of materials at the brigade headquarters must also be distributed below in order of priority.
Information regarding the training of the First Mixed Brigade has been distributed during this period.
The complaints of the soldiers of the First Regiment are not obvious. After all, they have seen the previous training of the militiamen, and they cannot let the quality of the regular army be inferior to that of the militiamen. In addition, the First Regiment prides itself on being the direct troops of the Lord Protector.
, must be distinguished from the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment. Since the Lord Protector personally ordered the entire army to be reorganized, of course they must respond positively.
In contrast, the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment were full of complaints. These soldiers from the old army had long been accustomed to living a lazy life. The most fearful thing was to mess around with nothing. Especially the Second Regiment, they had previously moved from Changli County to Tang Dynasty.
Hai Laoting has been extremely busy in just a few days. The new camp has not been set up yet, and now it is necessary to complete the training. It is really unbearable.
The officers at the regiment and battalion headquarters were equally unhappy. Although they were training soldiers, they still had to supervise and endure the hardships along with them.
But there was no way. If Yuan Su was still the same Yuan Su as before, they could have just swallowed the news and dealt with it. Now Yuan Sugui is the military envoy and the upright commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade. Furthermore, the 1st Mixed Brigade is now incorporated into the 2nd Mixed Brigade.
Town, Second Town is the backbone of the Beiyang Army. If the President's direct troops cannot show a good appearance, how can they gain a foothold in the Beiyang Army in the future?
Due to various pressures, no matter they are officers or soldiers, there is no other way except to express a few complaints in private. Thinking on the bright side, this training also has many awards, ranging from small ones to cash rewards.
Foreign and material goods are so big that they can be promoted to non-commissioned officers or even officers. Although most soldiers do not have any great ambitions, they are more or less opportunities in front of them. If you don't fight for it, it will be useless. Maybe you will change the entire trajectory of your life accidentally.
.
He Qigong held a meeting in Luanzhou, Changli and Tanghai respectively, and conveyed the training plan formulated by the brigade headquarters to the headquarters of each regiment one by one. The training plan of the brigade headquarters was only an outline framework, taking into account the circumstances of the three regiments.
They are different, so the training details must be adapted to local conditions.
During these three meetings, He Qigong held detailed discussions with the leaders of each regiment, and also conducted on-site inspections at the training venues during the entire training period. He even explained details such as rest, water, and snacks during the training.
.
He was busy for seven or eight days, traveling back and forth between the three counties, which really cost He Qigong a lot of energy.
He was not so conscientious because he was the chief instructor, but he agreed with Yuan Su's actions to reorganize the training from the bottom of his heart. After so many years of military camp life, he deeply realized that the squadron was disorganized in all aspects. In the long run, the army would be worse than
Bandits, after all, bandits are always active, and their physical fitness and firearms usage are better than those of soldiers who have been doing nothing all year round.
It was precisely because he was heartbroken about the current situation of the Chinese team that he spared no effort to organize this training.
When the army's training plan was in full swing, Yuan Su also stepped up the process of purchasing arms. It happened that on May 27th, Poincare sent a special telegram from Tianjin to first congratulate Yuan Su on his promotion to the Army Guard.
, then mentioned the agreement about Calyon Bank to donate 500 rifles, and asked whether this batch of rifles would be mobilized and sent to Luanzhou in the near future.
Yuan Su immediately called back to Tianjin, hoping that Credit Agricole could fulfill its promise in advance. Luanzhou really needed this batch of arms.
In addition, he also specially sent an application letter to the Second Town Headquarters and the Army Department, reporting the current armament situation of the First Mixed Brigade, and requesting the General Town and the Army Department to approve him to update the armaments under his command as soon as possible. Now
Although he is an envoy to protect the army, the troops under his command are still part of the Second Town. Arms are not an ordinary thing. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the procedures must be thorough.
Also on the afternoon of this day, Reynoldson came to the brigade headquarters compound again to visit Yuan Su.
Although Yuan Su was busy with official duties, considering his last meeting with Renoldson, he still made time to meet with him. After many days, Renoldson was fully prepared for his arrival this time, and his hand was like a model.
Carrying a decent briefcase, he walked into Yuan Su's office and said hello politely.
"Please sit down as you like. You really know how to choose your time. I've been too busy these days." Yuan Su said half-jokingly.
"I also ask General Yuan to forgive me for interrupting, but I also hope that this matter can be completed as soon as possible. It will be a good thing for General Yuan and our British Empire. Before the formal talks, I would like to ask General Yuan whether he has received the
Telegram from Tianjin?" Reynoldson said with a smile.
"Telegram from Tianjin? Are you referring to Mr. Poincare?" Yuan Su's expression changed slightly.
"Exactly, I hope my unauthorized actions did not cause you any trouble." Reynoldson said matter-of-factly.
"It turns out it was Mr. Poincare you contacted. No wonder he suddenly sent a telegram today. I was still wondering about this!"
"Mr. Poincare is far away in Tianjin, so naturally he doesn't know the situation in front of General Yuan, so I took the liberty to contact him."
"He is French, Mr. Reynoldson, and you are British. I didn't expect you to get so close." Yuan Su said with a specious smile.
"The relationship between our British Empire and France has always been very good. Otherwise, I would not have followed Dr. Smith to Luanzhou this time. Maybe General Yuan, you still remember what I mentioned, allies, yes, our British Empire
We have a close cooperative ally with France," Reynoldson said with unfinished content.
Yuan Su nodded thoughtfully, vaguely realizing something in his mind. When he was thinking about the problem, he missed a key historical background, which was the upcoming World War I.
The camps of the Central Powers and the Entente have long been openly established, and Britain and France are now in a closely united Entente relationship.
Considering this, he couldn't help but think about the significance of the British spending so much effort to support themselves. Perhaps this has a lot to do with the intensifying military competition in Europe. You must know that the coastline from Changli to Tanghai is close to the Bohai Sea, and the Bohai Sea
To the south is Shandong. The British had a concession in Weihaiwei, and below Weihaiwei was the Jiaozhou Bay occupied by the Germans.
Could it be that Britain wants to establish a force in the Bohai Sea that can echo Weihaiwei to better restrain Germany?
