After Liu Zhenming finished speaking, the Chinese people regained some of their vitality, and their heavy steps became much lighter.
Since it is a Chinese self-rescue army, of course it must look like an army. Previously, Liu Zhenming only divided more than a thousand Chinese into commandos, combat teams, and non-combatants.
As Liu Zhenming walked, he found Ye Geyin, Madman and others to discuss the issue of army establishment.
"Everyone, what do you think we look like?" Liu Zhenming asked, but found that everyone still didn't understand what he meant. He continued: "We are more like a group of bandits than an army. We have established a self-rescue association and a self-rescue army.
The work of the Self-Rescue Association can be slow, but the work of the Self-Rescue Army must be carried out immediately."
"Brother Liu, what do you want to do? You are an expert in fighting, and we all listen to you!" the madman said without any hesitation.
"That is, without you, Brother Liu, we would not have been able to escape. I want to join the Chinese Self-Rescue Association!" Ye Geyin also said with a sincere face.
Several other people expressed support. There are many overseas Chinese groups, some of which have become large-scale, such as the Chinese Association, which is found in almost every North American city with a large Chinese population. It is like a loose alliance, and others are like Honolulu.
Sanhetang, Hongmentang in San Francisco, Hongshuntang in Canada, and the famous Zhigongtang in later generations.
Sun Yat-sen's Revive China Society and Kang Youwei's Loyalist Society were also active overseas, so Liu Zhenming proposed the Self-Rescue Society. They didn't find it strange. Compared with those at home, the overseas Chinese's ideas were influenced by foreigners and were less open-minded.
few.
However, they had less contact with the military and considered Liu Zhenming's half-assedness to be an expert.
Liu Zhenming didn't bother to do anything else, he directly used doctrine and copied the three-three system of later generations.
Now he has about 600 people under his command, and can set up a battalion. Each battalion has three companies, each company has three platoons, and each platoon has three squads. Moreover, Liu Zhenming is also planning to establish a self-rescue association on the company.
There is a self-rescue association system in the platoon, and there are self-rescue association members in the class.
These are basically borrowed from the experience of later generations. If we go back to China and implement this now, it may not be consistent with the reality.
But here, given the current situation, it is best to turn this militia into an army immediately.
Liu Zhenming explained his idea. Everyone nodded and admired Liu Zhenming even more. Everyone was unanimously sure that Brother Liu must have served in the foreign army, otherwise there would be no treatment for these people.
The rules and regulations are so familiar.
Serving as a soldier in the foreign army does not necessarily mean you have to serve in the foreign army. For example, the famous Zhi Gong Tang boss Situ Meitang worked as a cook on a U.S. warship from 1894 to 1898.
"We had a small number of people, so we were organized into one battalion and called it the First Battalion of the First Regiment of the First Division of the First Army of the Chinese Self-Rescue Army. In the future, when the number of people increases, we will expand on this basis. The first battalion has three
Company, and a separate artillery company, and other personnel who cannot join the battle will serve as the logistics team and health team. Now, I need everyone to elect a battalion commander and a company commander." Liu Zhenming looked at the crowd with a solemn expression.
said.
These are the results of Liu Zhenming's thinking on the train for many days. The artillery company does not need to worry. When he was on the train, he secretly purchased 9 mortars from the system and mixed them into the ammunition.
On the shoulders of the Chinese who were carrying the ammunition.
"What else is there to elect? Brother Liu, just appoint him directly." More than a dozen people looked at Liu Zhenming with excited faces, waiting for his appointment.
They were not fools. Liu Zhenming brought them here to discuss this matter. Then didn't the company commander, platoon commander, etc. have to be selected from among himself and others?
Liu Zhenming stopped being pretentious and said directly: "I made the appointment based on everyone's performance during the breakout. If anyone has any objections, they can raise it on the spot. First company commander Ye Geyin, second company commander Zhang Kuang, and third company commander He Xiaoqing
.”….
He Xiaoqing was also a player who performed particularly well during the breakout.
Liu Zhenming looked at everyone and asked with a smile: "Do you have any opinions?"
These three people were originally the best among the Chinese in Toronto, so naturally no one could express any objections.
"Okay, you will nominate the platoon leader, and then the three company commanders and I will agree." There are still more than ten people, and there are only nine platoon leaders, and Liu Zhenming doesn't know them all well.
, only come up with this idea to select people who can convince the public.
After the previous battle, everyone knew who was strong and who was coward. Some people who thought they were not qualified withdrew first. After a lot of pushing and shoving, the other people finally got the candidates for the 9 platoon leaders.
Out.
After the platoon leader has been selected, it is natural to select the squad leader. This selection is even simpler. Ten ordinary soldiers directly elect a squad leader, and then the company commander and platoon leader agree.
Suddenly, the whole army began to boil. Everyone walked and elected the suitable candidates in their minds like an election.
The reason why Liu Zhenming dared to do this was because everyone was familiar with each other and had an understanding of others' abilities. Besides, everyone's performance in the last battle was obvious to everyone, so there would be no cheating.
.
There is a crisis outside, and everyone is trying to survive in the cracks, hoping to choose a powerful character.
Liu Zhenming directly served as the battalion commander. At the same time, he also served as the acting company commander of the artillery company. In addition, he was also the prime minister of the Self-Rescue Association. Unfortunately, the Self-Rescue Association only had thirteen members at this time.
Just when Liu Zhenming was adapting the system to give the Self-Rescue Army the appearance of an army, the Canadian militia combat troops chasing closely behind them took another train and arrived at the place where the foreigners got off.
This army has about 2,000 people, including 500 cavalry, 500 artillery, and about 1,000 infantry. It is led by the famous Canadian Lieutenant General George Druny. Druny once suppressed the Northwest Uprising in Canada in 1885.
He achieved great fame in the war.
When those foreigners who had escaped the disaster and had been waiting for a long time saw the train coming, they all cheered, then blocked the railway and asked the train to stop.
"What's going on, who are these people?" Drunni frowned slightly, and there was a faint feeling that something was wrong in his heart.
At this time, radio had just been invented and was far from popular. Long-distance message transmission still relied on wired telegraphy. Although the car Liu Zhenming was riding in had already arrived in Kamloops and passed the news to Canada.
government, but Drunny, who came after him urgently, has not received any news.
"General, these people are not the hostages held by the Chinese?" the staff officer said quietly as he watched the train stop.
"They put down the hostages? Don't they want to go to the west coast?" Drunni's heart suddenly suddenly stood up, and he hurried down with a group of officers and staff to inquire about the reason.
