The military flag is a symbol of the army or the formation of the flag, is the army of honor, bravery and the symbol of unified command, its specifications, materials, colors, patterns, words, and the method of production, etc., the military of all countries have strict regulations.

The flag of the Blood Lion Legion was specially designed by artists under the supervision of Pang Jindong, taking into account both symbolism and beauty. The red texture depicts a dragon composed of simple lines with abstract brushwork, and the number of the unit is indicated in Chinese and English below. The flagpole is metal, with a spiral pattern on the surface, and is topped by a spearhead decorated with golden tassels.

Pang Jindong stipulates that the most basic military flag is at the battalion level, which means that there is only one military flag belonging to the first battalion.

After Iverson took the flag, he stuck it on the ground hard, and then shouted: "The first battalion of the Blood Lion Legion receives the flag!"

Liu Fuyi left the team, ran to Pang Jindong, and reported: "The flag is complete!"

At this time, I only heard Iverson shouting again: "Blood Lion Legion, bayonet!"

All the soldiers replied together, "Yes!" and pulled out the bayonet from their waists and mounted it on the muzzle.

In an instant, the playground turned into a jungle of bayonets, and a bright flash of light caught people's eyes. With a neat queue, looking horizontally in rows and vertically in columns, this momentum alone is enough to excite people.

Although the onlookers saw the bayonet as just an ornament, they were also infected by the scene in front of them and applauded vigorously. How would they have known that it was a white-knuckle battle with bayonets that saved the Blood Lion Legion a few days ago.

In fact, if it weren't for the highly developed firepower of the weapon, the casualties caused by the white-knuckle charge would not exceed the firepower. However, once the white-knuckle charge is successful, it will destroy the morale and will of the entire opposing army. Moreover, this kind of tactic has extremely high requirements for soldiers, who must have the spirit of being brave and fearless and treating death as if they were at home, have the conscious execution of orders, have an iron will, and even more must have strict military discipline.

Although in the years to come, the Blood Lion Legion will rarely have the opportunity to launch a white-knuckle battle again, but this fierce battle at the beginning of its establishment has made the phrase "Blood Lion Legion, bayonet!" a good medicine to boost morale and a symbol of honor for the Blood Lion Legion.

After the flag ceremony, Pang Jindong said to all the soldiers in a deep and loud voice: "In the past few days, you have trained, rested, and eaten together, and you are inseparable like the closest family members. Although you may be hostile to each other because of your race or the color of your skin, when the battle comes, you charge together against the enemy's bullets, share small bunkers together, fight the enemy together, and cheer for victory together, so at this moment, I am sure you have realized that those artificial and boring factors can no longer be a chasm between each other, and what really matters is the friendship that has been condensed these days! It is as strong as steel, unstoppable, and will help you overcome any powerful opponent in the years to come!"

Many of the soldiers were still wounded, but they still endured the pain, standing motionless and maintaining a uniform line. The sun in the sky poured heat on everyone mercilessly, making them sweat profusely, and their exposed skin seemed to burst, but everyone ignored it as if it were nothing. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Pang Jindong at the front of the queue, the supreme commander standing there in a military uniform without a trace of wrinkles, just like them, also enduring the scorching sun.

Pang Jindong continued: "Although when you first arrived at this place, you were just a bung of dog mongrels! Although you did not love this profession, but for various reasons, you became a mercenary! But now I am proud of you, and I am honored to be able to serve with you!" As soon as the words fell, Pang Jindong saluted a standard military salute, and all the soldiers returned the same respect.

It is only at this moment that all soldiers really have the feeling of being a soldier, including those who have had a military career, and this feeling has never been stronger.

Although this is an exciting time, the hearts of the people are not easy, because tomorrow morning, most of them will leave for Iraq, and the military flag will go with them.

The first batch of recruits who came to report for duty, excluding those who left voluntarily, those who were eliminated by the assessment, and those who died in battle, added only more than 200 wounded and sick people. Pang Jindong added some personnel to the second and third companies, and reluctantly formed two full companies to go into Iraq. Some of those who remained at the base were necessary personnel from the General Staff and Logistics Department, while the rest were dispersed among the three companies of the First Company and the newly formed Second Battalion, either as officers or assisting officers in training and mentoring recruits.

Due to the lack of strict manpower, the headquarters is basically an empty shell, and Pang Jindong, the commander of the light pole, must bow down to everything.

Pang Jindong always believes that the training of recruits should be at least about three months, but these soldiers have less than a month from registration, training to promotion, and the training can almost be said to be insufficient. Fortunately, there are a large number of retired soldiers among these people, with a good foundation and rich experience, which can help them not only themselves, but also their comrades. Luckily, the battle served just the right amount of exercise, allowing them to walk the same path that others have taken for a long time in a shorter time.

The brief inauguration ceremony was soon over, and the soldiers withdrew, with Pang Jindong allowing them to use the last day to rest or go to a nearby city to play, as long as they returned before the camp closed at ten o'clock in the evening.

Pang Jindong also left the playground and went to his office on the top floor of the office building, where he could overlook the entire playground. Anderson was standing in front of the window at this time, watching the soldiers dissolve in an orderly manner.

Knowing that Pang Jindong was going to hold an army ceremony, Anderson deliberately took time out of his busy schedule to come, which moved Pang Jindong very much. However, this itinerary must be very confidential, so as to prevent the outside world from knowing about it and using it to make a big fuss later. Therefore, he could only hide in his office and watch the whole process of the military ceremony.

"Very good! The Chinese have a saying - strong generals have no weak soldiers, which is just used to describe the Blood Lion Legion!" Anderson smiled and nodded, with a hint of regret in his tone because he could not participate directly.

Pang Jindong also had some regrets: "If the soldiers knew that you, the presidential candidate, were here, their morale would be even higher." ”

"I'll make up for this regret in the future!" Anderson came this time, not only to watch the military ceremony, but also wanted to tell Pang Jindong in person: "Give you a month, at least 500 more people will be prepared to go to Iraq!"

"This ......" Pang Jindong looked embarrassed, trying to reject Anderson as tactfully as possible: "I'm afraid it's very difficult!"

Pang Jindong's unappreciative made Anderson very regretful: "You don't know how difficult it is for me to fight for this contract for you!"

"I appreciate your kindness! But it is indeed too difficult to train 500 soldiers with sufficient combat ability in a month's time!"

"What's your difficulty?"

Pang Jindong said one by one: "First of all, most of the people who can assist me in my work will go to Iraq. Even if I wanted to select such a person from the first batch of recruits, there would not be enough choice, because none of the people who remained at the base were idle, and secondly, there was the issue of officers, all of whom were held by my comrades-in-arms of the year, and they were also faced with a shortage of numbers. While recruits can also be selected, and some of them have served as officers, it will take time for them to adjust to the environment and style of the Blood Lion Legion, and loyalty is also an issue......"

Anderson interrupted Pang Jindong's words: "Since my biggest threat has been eliminated by you, and I have also transferred some of my elite forces back to my side, there is no need to continue to have your people on my side." Transferring all of your people back to the main one, supplemented by vigorously selecting talents from among the recruits, should solve both of these problems. As for whether the recruits are loyal and reliable, it will take time to test, and if they can't let go of their hands and feet, then they will never develop. ”

"It's okay, use talents in an eclectic way!" Pang Jindong nodded and continued: "Once again, it is still related to people, I am worried that the number of recruits is insufficient, and after continuous elimination, and non-casualty attrition caused by other reasons, even fewer can be sent to the battlefield!"

The Blood Lion Legion recruits recruits by using Anderson's drug network to spread underground news of conscription throughout the country, and interested parties can get in touch with this network in many ways, and then they will be taken to Nick's recruitment office for screening.

If he directly recruits troops in country M, Pang Jindong simply does not have enough connections and resources, and the required manpower is even less sufficient. With such an approach, only Nick needs to be the general manager.

This method is now gradually becoming public, posting public advertisements in the name of security companies, and those who see the advertisements and are interested can go to the recruitment office on their own, but it will take a process to be effective.

In addition, although many people have heard of the name of the Blood Lion Mercenary Group back then, the treatment of the Blood Lion Legion today is average, and there are not many other attractive places. There are very few people willing to become mercenaries, and even fewer can join the Blood Lion Legion.

"It's best to recruit as much as possible in country M, and it is ......best to meet the needs first," Anderson pondered for a while, and then said meaningfully: "If you talk about human resources, the most abundant is your motherland." The soldiers of your homeland are also the easiest to train and the most obedient to command. ”

"There are not too many people who are willing to trade their lives for money in any country. ”

"The treatment of your national army is so poor, and there are still many people who join it. I've heard people from the Ministry of Defense say that many times it takes extraordinary means to get a place in the army."

"Different ......" Pang Jindong shook his head, and simply said the difference: "Our country has a tradition of supporting the army and giving preference to family members, and it is a very honorable thing to become a soldier. But going abroad to serve as a soldier, especially in a country that is not very friendly to the motherland, is emotionally unacceptable to most Chinese. ”

In fact, Pang Jindong's words are very idealistic, and there is an extremely important reason why there is no shortage of soldiers in the domestic army, that is, many young people need to join the army to solve their future employment problems.

Moreover, country Z has not fought a war for decades, and it has done its best to compromise international disputes. From the perspective of national defense, the military is basically an ornament, and the most important thing to do is to provide disaster relief. In addition, the training process is low, most of the time it is just a queue, and many people have not even touched a gun a few times in two years of service, so although joining such an army has to endure some hardships, there is rarely a danger to their lives.

Country Z is the first country in terms of population, third in terms of territorial area, and among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of total economic output. For country M, the relationship with country Z is also very important, and Anderson, as a presidential candidate, must have his own policy guidelines in international relations, so he has made up for his homework related to country Z during this time.

However, Anderson's understanding of the actual social situation of country Z can never surpass Pang Jindong, so he doesn't understand the reasons that he didn't say, but he has analyzed it clearly, but what he said stinged Pang Jindong's national feelings: "The current director of the immigration bureau is my person, and he once told me that you citizens of country Z can do almost anything in order to join the nationality of country M. ”

The corners of Pang Jindong's mouth twitched twice, but he didn't say anything.

Anderson looked at Pang Jindong and said slowly: "I know this makes it difficult for you to accept, but after all, it is the truth!"

Pang Jindong tried his best to hide the unhappiness in his heart, and talked about the matter: "I know that there are many Chinese in the overseas legions of country F, in order to obtain the nationality of country F after retirement, but I cannot afford to let so many Chinese join country M." ”

"In this matter, I can help you to a limited extent, and provide a certain green card and even nationality quota every year, which can be used to reward those who are outstanding and have made meritorious achievements. ”

Anderson has always believed that Pang Jindong is a person who has no nationalist feelings, otherwise he would not help Pang Jindong in some aspects, even if it is to cultivate his own forces. Because although he is addicted to the pursuit of money and power, he is a true patriot, and he will not do anything that may affect the interests of the country or citizens of country M.
