At dinner, Yuan Su introduced the three of them to Chen Wennian, Zhao Shanhe and others.: Read the novel [New] [~] Although on the surface Chen Wennian and Zhao Shanhe were very polite to the three of them, calling them brothers and talking to each other.
Respect, there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary. However, it can still be seen in some small details. The first is the position where you sit, and the second is the content and wording of the conversation.
Yuan Su didn't know whether Yuan Jixi, Dong Zhengguo, and Ji Fuyi saw this, but he didn't plan to say anything more. After all, Chen Wennian and Zhao Shanhe were part of the Seventy-nine Standards System, and they had been his true masters from the Luanzhou Uprising until now.
Close relatives and direct relatives; even though Yuan Jixi, Dong Zhengguo, and Ji Fuyi are classmates, they are still new faces, and in terms of close relationships, they cannot be compared with Chen Wenian, Zhao Shanhe, and other people who have experienced life and death.
In the next few days, Yuan Su properly handled all the aftermath matters at Shanhaiguan, and went to the Yanghe Reservoir Preparatory Office several times in person to inspect the progress of the project. Finally, on November 8th, he appointed Wu
Li Ke temporarily acted as the Secretary General of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and then led the troops of the First and Third Regiments back to Luanzhou.
After returning to Luanzhou, Reynoldson couldn't wait to find Yuan Su. Now Yuan Su's identity has changed, but the area he rules has expanded a lot, and his personal power and value have been improved accordingly. This time with Yuan Su,
When Yuan Su met, in addition to further contacting each other, he also delivered all the British equipment promised before.
According to the cooperation agreement signed by Yuan Su and Reynoldson, the military assistance provided by the British was originally supposed to be delivered at the end of September. However, due to various changes that occurred during this period, the delivery could only be delayed until now. Except for this batch
In addition to arms, the matter of hiring British political consultants and instructor consultants has finally been put on the agenda. [ ] [Ye*] [*]
Reynoldson specially prepared a detailed roster of personnel for Yuan Su. They are all British "professionals", and of course include some applicants who took the initiative to submit their applications to British official organizations. Reynoldson guarantees that all personnel on this roster
They have all been screened for qualifications, and some duplicitous people and those with low abilities have been eliminated.
Yuan Su did not completely believe what Reynoldson said. No one could guarantee the character of these consultants. There were too many foreigners coming to China to show off these days. After some discussion, he decided to temporarily limit the number of political consultants to two.
There are four people in the instructor advisory group. The British advisory group system is only implemented in Luanzhou for the time being. Once the effect is good, further discussion will be carried out.
The two people hired by the political consultant are both senior officers of Scotland Yard, one is a retired administrative officer, and the other is an active police officer who is still serving. Of course, in terms of China's current situation, there is no need
So most of the professional police system, criminal investigation, logic, criminal investigation, etc. cannot be put to use.
But no matter what, China's modern police system still needs to establish a system. By imitating the police systems of Western countries, we can learn some useful things.
As for the four military instructor consultants, two of them are retired officers of the British Army in India, another is an active officer of the British Army in South Africa, and the third is a serving lieutenant colonel of the British Army with a higher military rank and more seniority.
The lieutenant colonel's name was George Clark Bancroft. According to Yuan Su's original intention, he needed to hire several officers to serve as consultants at the headquarters of each regiment under his command, and he also needed a senior military officer to serve as his own consultant.
Lieutenant Colonel Bancroft is a military adviser who works directly at the brigade headquarters.[ ][]
It has to be said that it was not too difficult to hire the other four British officers, and the prices offered were very reasonable. However, this Lieutenant Colonel Bancroft was invited several times and even offered a monthly salary.
The salary of five hundred pounds was there, so this senior army officer of the British army was invited. The exchange rate of five hundred pounds was approximately equivalent to four thousand silver dollars, which was only a few hundred silver dollars less than the monthly salary of the director of the General Department of Customs and Taxation of China.
After receiving the British equipment from the train station, Yuan Su immediately ordered Chen Wenian to distribute this batch of arms. Part of the directly replaced Han-style rifles were used as reserve arms for local reserves, and the other part was sent to Shanhaiguan to replace the equipment of the customs defense regiment.
.The clear Lee-Enfield rifle is paired with the Wester heavy machine gun. Looking at the domestic troops, no army can achieve this level. However, from now on, logistics will have to rely on the cooperative relationship with the British.
.
The First Mixed Brigade became a veritable British Arms Brigade. In addition to weapons and equipment, all soldiers were also equipped with British Army copper helmets. The soldiers of the First Mixed Brigade were dressed like Chinese mercenaries in the British Concession.
By mid-November, the six hired British consultants arrived in Luanzhou and were officially assigned to jobs.
Just a few days later, on November 25th, Yuan Su ordered the Third Regiment of the First Mixed Brigade to resume military training. He had been delayed for several months due to rushing to Shanhaiguan for disaster relief. He had long-planned the training
The plan has been put on hold again and again. Although the weather has turned cold and the opportunity for summer training has been missed, the army must maintain a state of readiness for combat all year round, so it is not a big deal to continue training in winter.
For the soldiers of the regiments and battalions of the 1st Mixed Brigade, they have already undergone training earlier. The complaints, complaints and dissatisfaction have already been raised. Now it is reasonable to continue to complete the unfinished training tasks.
In addition, I received brand-new foreign weapons and equipment, and I had the urge to try them out.
In addition, there are many soldiers who are still thinking about the rewards during the training period, hoping to participate in this training mission to gain some extra money, and maybe even get the respect of adults and be promoted to officers and non-commissioned officers.
.
In this way, the whole-army training of the 1st Mixed Brigade has begun again. What is different from before is that this time, after consultation and adjustment by foreign military consultants, some improvements have been made to the training plan, including training items, details, and training items.
order etc.
Yuan Su did not expect to make the First Mixed Brigade a force that could rival the Western powers, but his goal was to surpass the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. This was not only an increasing threat to Japan at this stage, but also to himself.
understanding of later history.
He knew very well that from the end of the Japanese-Russian War to the beginning of the "September 18th Incident", the Japanese army basically had no actual combat experience in the past few decades, especially the army, and even its equipment was almost the same as that of Japan at that time. However,
The reason why we were able to invade as if entering uninhabited territory during the Anti-Japanese War was entirely dependent on elite training in terms of military literacy.
Because of this, he hopes to cultivate an army that can rival the Japanese army by strengthening training and maintaining daily basic exercises. Weapons can be purchased, troops can be recruited, and the command can hire foreign consultants. The rest is
It depends on the extent and effectiveness of the training.
During the training mission that started at the end of October, Yuan Su would often go to the training site to supervise the training in person as always. This was true in Luanzhou, as well as in Changli County, Tanghai County, and Laoting County. It was almost restored to the way it was before the disaster relief. In the three regiments
He was traveling back and forth to the station. He was not bored, nor was he worried about the foreign advisers and regimental generals. On the one hand, he wanted to cheer and encourage the soldiers, and on the other hand, he also wanted to convey a good image of a responsible officer.
During the training period, in addition to supervising the training of each regiment, the brigade headquarters of the 1st Mixed Brigade also held several meetings to discuss the improvement of units at all levels in the brigade headquarters. After all, the previous regiments were directly transformed from patrol battalions, and many
The organizational structure is copied and copied, and everything that belongs to the modern military organization lacks implementation.
The most important thing among them is military discipline and logistics, so the brigade headquarters spends time to conduct actual statistics on each regiment headquarters, and then organizes relevant personnel to conduct centralized training, and formulate new and clear military discipline and rules and logistics systematization.
Afterwards, Yuan Su also found He Qigong and asked about the recent situation of the First Mixed Brigade Camp School.
In the past few months, He Qigong has not stopped operating Suiying Academy. Even during the half-month period when Yuan Su was arrested by Wu Chenglu, he still insisted on completing the scheduled courses every day. Now Suiying Academy
There are seven trainees in total, all officers from the regiment and battalion headquarters. Du Yu, Li Jinfu and others have also been here before, but intermittently due to military affairs.
The reason why Yuan Su approached He Qigong to talk about this matter was because he planned to formalize Suiying School and turn it into a fixed military school. However, in fact, most of the courses currently taught in Suiying School are to improve the generals' cultural level and basic skills.
Scientific common sense, whether it is teachers or students, can only maintain the status quo.
Despite this, He Qigong still understood Yuan Su's intentions. The reason why Yuan Su needed a fixed military academy was naturally to cultivate his own general talents. At the same time, he was also very pleased that Yuan Su attached great importance to education, even if it was for personal reasons.
Purpose, but how many people can see the long-term benefits that education can bring at present?
