Chapter 329 People from all walks of life (Part 2)
Among civilian officers, people like Panda and Youhuhu—who either have specialized skills, are accurate in shooting, or are skilled in hand-to-hand combat, dare to fight and kill, still have a certain status in the army, while others rely on their fanaticism for military affairs.
They have all become company commanders, but have very little say in the military. Except for Wei Aiwen, who relied on his outstanding performance and used the magic weapon of "political work" to ascend to the position of head of the political department, this group of people can be regarded as
Zhang Bolin, the one with the highest position among them, relied on his enthusiasm for artillery and took advantage of the army's current artillery, which is mainly a front-loading gun. In response to this opportunity of limited role of pre-modern artillery, he learned the shooting, drill and shooting of the front-loading gun from Lin Shenhe.
Only through tactical use has it occupied a place in the artillery field of the Army.
These two people naturally became the leaders of the Young Officers Club. Because of their age, the club was later called the "80-year Party Members". The "80-year Party Members" have great ambitions and basically conform to the following: passionate young people, shining
The four laws of riding boots, young officers, and sharp bayonets. Their minds were filled with the German counterattack in Kharkov and the "Spring Awakening". They all fantasized about wearing the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Two Swords, and wearing sharp clothes.
Wearing leather boots and straight breeches, he stood on the King Tiger tank and directed thousands of troops to advance.
The reality is: they are wearing a very simple version of gray cotton military uniforms with no lines, cloth epaulettes lying softly on their shoulders, and armed belts - unless they are personal items they bring with them, like Wei Aiwen, they are made locally.
Not to mention it doesn't look very good, but once it gets wet, it emits a stink like animal leather. There are no decorations on the military uniforms. Some people who participated in the defense of Bopu have sleeve strips decorated on their sleeves.
The daily life is to lead the team to drill day after day - no tanks, no blitzkrieg. The first thing after getting up in the morning is to take their company down to the playground. Before that, they themselves are already in the training team.
After being drilled thoroughly by former PLA veterans in the Army, several history buffs wearing glasses used flip charts to educate all Army officers on how the Army "lined up to shoot" in the 19th century. The Army basically
Tactics and combat formations used. The level of everyone here is absolutely equal, whether you are a former professional soldier or a man with glasses in the 21st century, but the results after learning show that it is difficult to surpass professional standards -
―The company led by professional soldiers has significantly better training results than those led by members of the 1980s.
People who have chosen a military career in the new time and space feel that their force value in the new time and space is as bad as in the original time and space. The command value has increased slightly, and it is obviously useless to embody the aura of king and domineering. But everything in the army is just as good as it is.
It is very difficult. Whether it is the clothes, shoes or weapons and ammunition of the soldiers, they all depend on the planning schedule arranged by the Planning Commission. Every rifle and every cannon must be obtained, and the ammunition for training must be counted.
, when distributing rations, it is accurate to every fish per person.
The soldiers looked very clumsy. It takes a long time to adapt the hoe hand to the weapon, and it is a long road to become a qualified soldier. The simplest thing is to look to the right and it takes a whole day to teach. After a day of training on the training ground, my voice became hoarse.
, his throat was smoking with thirst, his arms were sore from being beaten, and his company still couldn't even form a basic formation.
After the drill, you have to go down to the company to check the housekeeping and communicate with the soldiers. Then there is the unshakable five-kilometer training every week, and the "support construction" every month - the idea of the executive committee is completely consistent with the socialist countries and the Romans.
Similarly, it is believed that the participation of soldiers in social engineering construction can not only effectively utilize the labor force but also exercise the physical fitness of soldiers.
The army that everyone has worked so hard to build is only the size of a regiment, and he is only a company commander. It is not taken seriously at all. This is different from the fact that they want to be "twenty-year-old generals" and command thousands of troops.
Great ideals are far removed from each other.
Reality has taught the party members for 80 years: a powerful army must be built by one's own hands, rather than relying on pirated copies to "invent" one or two new weapons and telling the subordinates several new tactics to make them invincible.
The militaristic ideals of the Communists in 1980 were thus shattered, and the Young Officers Club came into being.
The purpose of the club is to build an unprecedented continental army. Generally speaking, the size of the army is like the Soviet army, the equipment and uniforms are like the German army in World War II, and the logistics and firepower are like the US military.
However, with Hainan as the main base and the strategic situation faced by the Chuanchuan Group, the Executive Committee and the military adopted an army-building idea that focused on the navy. The size of the army was reduced to the point where it could only control the entire county and defend the base.
level. The size of the army, including the teaching team and auxiliary troops, does not exceed 3,000.
The problems caused by the small size of the army are just like the small army during the Weimar Republic. There are few officer positions, especially senior military positions. Promotions and promotions have become extremely slow. The navy has already seen the emergence of indigenous captains and naval captains.
The Army has not yet had an indigenous captain and company commander. This phenomenon made the 1980s Party members feel very uncomfortable. The indigenous people now have captains who are equal to themselves. Then if there is an indigenous naval lieutenant colonel in the future, wouldn't it be a problem?
Is he still ahead of me in military rank?
Wei Aiwen made an impassioned speech on the stage: "...Our environment is a crisis-ridden environment. There is the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu on land, and there are Zheng Zhilong, Liu Xiang and all kinds of foreign bandits on the sea. But what is the current situation of our army?
He made a distressed expression, "There are only a dozen companies, and there is not even a single military horse included in the establishment! Cannons are pulled by people, ammunition depends on people's backs, and there is not even a shadow of a machine gun!" He gasped.
tone, "The Executive Committee often says that for the sake of economic construction, the army must be patient. We have indeed endured it - without any complaints."
He became more and more angry when he said this, "Although obeying orders and following orders is the basic principle of the military, I would like to solemnly put forward this opinion here: the personal preference of some people on the Executive Committee for the Navy has caused the construction of the Navy
Far superior to the reality of the Army."
He listed the reality, "Since typewriters were put into production, the army has not equipped one. What about the navy? There are even secret service craft and transport ships without official ship names! Look at the number of cannons produced so far.
The largest and best heavy artillery all belong to the Navy. Even if the quantity is simply calculated, the total ammunition projection of the artillery on several transport ships of the Navy exceeds the projection of all the artillery of our army! Comrades, is this normal?
"
"Abnormal!" Zhang Bolin shouted the loudest in the crowd. The spectacular scene of the naval warship sailing with full sail for salvo training deeply stung him - in comparison, his own 12-pound cannon relied on
The appearance of being dragged to the target practice by "replacing animals and losing soldiers" is really shabby and pitiful.
"Comrades, who marched on the front line under artillery fire and planted the flag of victory on the enemy's fortress? And who used bayonets to defend the regime at critical moments? The army, there is only the army!" Wei Aiwen waved his hand and turned his head to the side.
, "You ask the navy to send a battleship to Bairen City to stand guard and try it?"
"Long live the Army!" The people below shouted together, stamping the floor hard with the heels of their boots.
"Comrades, history tells us: the navy is often unreliable. Who stabbed the Second Reich in the back? It was the pampered sailors of Kiel Port! Who rose up and started a fatal fight when the Russian Empire was in turmoil?
The first shot? It was the sailors of the Aurora!" Since Wei Aiwen became the head of the Political Department, his ability to incite has gradually grown. "Those army soldiers who have fought hard in the muddy trenches on the front line for four years and shed blood and died are like this.
Betrayed!"
He spoke so excitedly, as if he was the German soldier who had been betrayed in his imagination. This atmosphere infected the few listeners below. They all started to roar too.
"The size of the Army must be expanded! The armaments must be strengthened!" He waved his arm forcefully, "We have endured for too long for economic construction, and now the Army must make its voice heard!"
Qian Duo stood guard at the teaching team in the middle of the night - he was a mobile sentry. When he came back from his first patrol, he nervously reported to You Huohu, the officer on duty, saying: There are still people in the conference room of the teaching team headquarters, although
The doors and windows were closed, but you could hear the noise inside, and there were people singing.
"It's okay," You Laohu said carelessly, "It's Director Wei who drank too much. They get together to drink one day every month. They get drunk as soon as they get drunk. When they get high, they talk nonsense, so ignore him."
After Qian Duo left, You Laohu thought about whether to register this matter in the duty log. The sentinel's report must be registered in the register. This is a rule. But then he thought about Wei Aiwen's use of the conference room itself. There are records, and they came and went to teach.
There are also records in the team camp, so there is no need for him to do anything unnecessary. You Huhu doesn't like the nagging behavior of this group of people, but he doesn't want to publicize the matter. They are all lords, so they need to show some loyalty.
The bells for evening prayers had just stopped. Wu Shimang, wearing a black robe and a silver cross hanging around his neck, walked out of the church with the slow and solemn steps that a respected clergy should have. The people at the door who had just finished their prayers
The believers who had finished the evening prayers bowed down to pay tribute to him, and some even kissed his hand. With a gentle smile, he made the sign of the cross to others and walked through a wasteland - which was recently purchased by the church for the future.
For the purpose of expanding the church - Wu Shimang suggested that Lu Ruohua buy a piece of land as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to predict the future land price.
"The land now costs me two hundred piastres. How much more expensive can it be?" Lu Ruohua didn't believe it. He had long been worried about the land price here.
