Schneider carried his luggage and walked profusely under the scorching spring sunshine. As a captain who comes from a navy that pays attention to clothing, etiquette and grace, his image of carrying luggage in such a hands-on manner was very noticeable on the road.
Eye-catching: The Navy has a set of special regulations for the use of orderlies.
Navy Captain Schneider was the original Shi Shi Shi. Because a certain veteran of the navy felt that Shi Shi Shi's name was too unlucky and too plain - among the naturalized people, people named so-and-so were too
So he changed his name. Schneider was very satisfied with the new name. It was much better than the original name of Shi Shi, and he had secretly begged the calligrapher in Dongmen City to start writing a family tree for him.
The so-called writing a genealogy is actually compiling a genealogy. Schneider was born in a poor family, so he knew that his ancestors had been fishing people for generations. If the genealogy is to be beautiful, it must be attached to famous people. In this case, it is necessary to find a knowledgeable "sir".
The first batch of elites have been born among the naturalized people. They have either taken up military and administrative positions or become rich. After they turn over, they cannot help but want to compile a family tree and honor their ancestors.
Because they know that the "chiefs" hate ancestral halls very much, they don't dare to think about building ancestral halls - and most of them are outsiders who came to Lingao alone not long ago, and there is no way to build any ancestral halls locally. But for themselves
Fabricating a family tree with illustrious ancestors can bring them great psychological satisfaction. There are several ghostwriters in Dongmen City who have made a little fortune by doing this.
Compared with other seasons of the year, Schneider prefers the winter in Lingao. In winter, the temperature is low, and he can wear a neat and decent navy winter coat. This makes him feel like a superior man: the winter coat is made by Westerners.
The military uniform was made of thin cloth purchased here. There were no wrinkles at all. The Navy Meritorious Service Medal was hung brightly on his chest. This was earned for his counterinsurgency and combat performance in the Battle of the Pearl River Estuary. The Navy planned to reward him with the medal.
He has completely distinguished himself from the country bumpkins in the Army, and is determined not to engage in such things as merit, and pursues gorgeous and professional medal titles. Now Schneider must be neatly dressed in a naval officer uniform and a full set of medals when he goes out. Walking on the road, he is surrounded by all kinds of admiring and awed people.
The look in his eyes made him feel filled with joy.
As part of the reward and as preparations for the upcoming military struggle before Operation Engine, Schneider was recommended to attend naval officer promotion training at Bopu.
Compared with the painful naval engineering and tactical command courses, Schneider prefers navigation and leadership courses. He is familiar with the former and the latter can make him feel like an officer. Compared to the exercise in the picture
They were beaten so hard that they couldn't find anything to do. During the actual combat exercise, Captain Schneider did a good job in letting the young children know what a veteran is. However, those little brats learned a lot after suffering a few losses.
After three months of fully closed training, he was promoted to naval captain. Within two days of returning home, he was summoned to Magiao Fort for short-term training by an order - in the words of the leaders, it was called on-the-job training.
There were no specific subject names on the notice, and Schneider knew it was for "confidentiality," but he knew that this temporary training was most likely related to the recent active preparations for war.
The Fubo Army is preparing for war - although the preparations this time are not as grand as before the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. Schneider already understood every time he took the navy soldiers to the shipyard to "support work": he had never seen such a
Many large ships were started to be built at the same time. Although the size of some new ships could not be compared with the Holy Ship, it exceeded the largest Western plywood ship he had ever seen. Various ship materials were piled up in the factory, and the workers
Busy non-stop, working day and night.
The sailors have been practicing since the Chinese New Year. In the squadron under his command, the number of sailors on board each special agent ship has been reduced by half, and the shortfalls have been filled by recruits who have just come out of the recruit team. Obviously, the sailors transferred out are for the purpose of acquiring new ships.
The boat is used for crew preparation.
Schneider discovered in the recruit team some old friends he had known when he was a pirate. They were all recruited during the recent recruitment expansion. There were men under Zhu Cai's old men, as well as other defeated sea lords.
Many of his men fled back to their hometowns after the "big gang" was defeated, but they had no plan to make a living. Based on the information obtained from interrogating the prisoners and talking to them, the recruiters were led by former pirate leaders who had defected to become naturalized, and recruited these people on a large scale along the coasts of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Similar to the stragglers of the past.
Obviously, if they did not want to expand the navy, the leaders would not recruit so many people at once.
It looks like there's going to be another war. Schneider thought to himself.
When he arrived at the Majiao Fort Pier by naval transport, the place was already completely new. The Majiao Peninsula is now the core heavy industry base of the Senate, and the original Majiao Army Base has also been officially upgraded to "Majiao Fort".
According to the new military system, all locations where army bases are located have the suffix "fort". This new rule is believed to have officially penetrated the "American faction" after the "German faction", "Soviet faction" and "Japanese faction".
In the army and navy system.
The artillery building that once served as the headquarters of He Ming's field army has disappeared, replaced by a huge bamboo fence wall and huge buildings scattered inside. Maxiao Fort covers a large area, with several buildings scattered inside and outside the wall.
Military camps and training grounds for various army technical disciplines. The road network has been initially completed. Army soldiers undergoing formation and tactical training can be seen everywhere.
The entire Majiao Fort is already a military restricted area. Schneider's orderly was turned back before the first sentry post - there was no orderly's name on the registration card. So Captain Shi could only carry his luggage and continue walking. Come on.
When we arrived at the gate, there were two large wooden signs with black characters on a white background hanging at the gate: Magiaobao Army Base, Joint Operations Command.
The Joint Operations Command is a recently established command organization that replaced the responsibilities of the original temporary field army headquarters. The field army is currently in a long-term state of security war and security, and must coordinate the navy, army and all other armed forces.
commanding organization.
In fact, similar needs were initially raised during the security war in Qiongnan. If in Qiongbei, the main task of the navy was still to transport troops and supplies, then in Qiongnan, the navy's operations no longer
No matter how simple it is to transport the army ashore, it is often necessary to join the battle in person - almost all villages in Qiongnan states and counties are located along the coast, and bandits and powerful armed forces often use ships to maneuver.
Considering that the next engine operation requires joint army and navy operations - the General Staff concluded in several strategic exercises that for a long period of time, the Fubo Army's military operations were along the coastline.
For joint naval and army operations, it is necessary to establish a cross-service joint operations command.
The newly established Joint Operations Command was established in Majiaobao. It is under the leadership of the Military Affairs General Administration and is jointly composed of personnel sent from the Army Staff Headquarters and the Navy Military Command. It is under the command of the General Staff Headquarters in business operations.
Schneider followed the newly paved road and followed the road signs to the gate of the compound where the Joint Operations Command was located.
Several army officers stood at the entrance of the headquarters with some documents to receive them. Yang Zeng was also among them. Due to his outstanding performance in the Chengmai Battle, Yang Zeng was also recommended to participate in the officer promotion training course in Majiao Fort. He also gave his
After undergoing closed training, Yang Zeng felt that the life of the chiefs was too busy - no veteran officer had leisure time. Yang Zeng saw them at any time, either on the training ground or in the classroom,
Or there are endless meetings.
Of course, he himself is also very busy. As a naturalized civilian officer who is about to be promoted to deputy battalion commander, Yang Zeng has too many subjects to take up. Not only does he have to make up for cultural classes, but he also has to master more advanced and complex combat subject training.
and logistical organization support.
He occasionally missed the leisurely days of boringly sunbathing in Goujiazhuang holding a matchlock gun. Looking at Schneider's straight navy uniform and eye-catching Navy Meritorious Service Medal as he walked towards him, Yang Zeng unconsciously raised his waist
He straightened up a bit, with his second-class military medal and special marksman medal hanging on his chest.
Schneider was the last one to arrive, and the entire Maziaobao guest house was already full. Yang Zeng had to arrange for Schneider and some other people to temporarily live in the vacated military camp.
Nearly a hundred army and navy officers were summoned to Fort Majiao at the same time. They were all naturalized civilian officers who had been circled by the general staff cadres to prepare to participate in Operation Engine.
The environment faced by Operation Engine is very complex. On the sea, they have to pass through the territory of Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong. The Dutch and Spanish also have power in the Taiwan Strait, which is the only way through. In addition to the Dutch who have just signed a trade agreement,
All other forces are "unfriendly".
Although Zhao Yingong paved the way and opened up relations on land, no one could predict what problems would arise during the implementation of the plan to transport a large number of refugees under the eyes of the Ming Dynasty. Especially when involved in the Dengzhou Rebellion, it was even more difficult.
Collect and transport refugees on the chaotic battlefield.
In this kind of environment, it is impossible to move without enough troops for protection. And in organizing a large number of refugees to march and camp, well-trained troops can also play a big role - without well-trained soldiers,
Responsible for organizing and leading, thousands of refugees may not be able to form an orderly team at all. When the engine plan was first formulated, the Planning Institute secretly consulted the People's Commissar of the Army and Navy about the ships that could be mobilized at that time.
