As for "not reliable enough", it was suggested that they could be equipped with flintlock pistols - such as the tried-and-tested model of Brown Beth. However, this proposal was opposed by the industrial department and the planning institute, and the structure of the brown bess was completely different from that of the Minny rifle, and all parts except the butt could not be used in common - it would be necessary to open a new production line for it. What's more, ammunition cannot be used universally. Spending a lot of extra resources and manpower to arm a small number of troops is not worth the cost.

In the end, Wang Luobin, who was attending the meeting in Lingao, proposed a new plan to produce a "monkey version of the Mini rifle", specifically, that is, to follow the structure of the existing Mini rifle, common most parts, but the barrel does not rifle.

Because of the lack of rifling, the range and accuracy of the monkey version of the Mini rifle were greatly reduced. However, it is still much stronger than the various arquebuses and muskets of the plane, and even compared to mature flintlock pistols like Brown Bess have certain advantages. and maintained a generational gap with the regular army.

The monkey version of the Mini rifle does not need to change the production line, nor does it require special processing, but only saves a drawing rifling production process, saving manpower and material resources. If necessary, it can be reverted to the "standard version" by changing the barrel. It greatly saves manpower and material resources. Ammunition can also be used universally.

On top of that, the production of thunder mercury and fire caps was monopolized by the Senate, and even if the weapon was lost, the person who got it could not use it, which was much safer than the flintlock pistol - the flintlock pistol was easy to repair and use, but the Mini gun was an iron burning stick without a fire cap. So far, despite the fact that hundreds of Mini rifles have been left in an "unrecovered" state, no Shili has been found to be able to use the Mini rifle.

The idea of a monkey version of the Mini rifle was soon realized, and the Japanese company received the first batch of "Nanyang-style rifles" - because in the program for the security forces, the future security forces would be mainly deployed in Southeast Asia. Not all of these rifles were new, but were partly made by refitting the smoothbore barrel with a rifle that had been replaced by a reworked rifle with a worn rifle.

First of all, the firearms training of Japanese corporals was carried out -- the Nanyang-style rifle was well received by these people as soon as it was put into training and use -- almost all of them had experience in using arquebuses, whether it was a Japanese-made monkey version of Tanegashima iron cannon or a genuine Portuguese and British arquebus, they had come into contact with each other, regardless of the comparison in shooting accuracy and speed of fire. The huge advantages of the Nanyang-style rifles were staggering.

After the corporal squad leaders mastered the essentials of shooting and maintenance of Nanyang-style rifles. Early the next morning, the entire onboard battalion assembled on the training ground.

"You're going to get your weapons from today, run forward!" After the order was given by the sergeant, the educational squads ran in columns to the weapons depot under the command of the commander.

A table and gun rack have been set up at the door of the arsenal. Everyone was given a Nanyang rifle and a matching bayonet. The Ordnance Officer is responsible for managing the numbering and issuance of weapons. Then, each educational class organizes a lecture on the structure and maintenance of weapons at the training ground.

Hideji Shikawa said loudly: "Each rifle has the emblem of the Senate engraved on it, the Morning Star. Therefore, it cannot be taken lightly. Through a soldier's awareness of cherishing guns, the soldier's mental state can be seen, so it is necessary to take care of the gun carefully! ”

He was selling a lecture from the training class seller full of emotion, when suddenly there was a "click" sound from the back of the line, and everyone looked behind him, and it turned out that it was the Yabei Guard who accidentally knocked down the newly issued rifle and was picking it up in a panic. Shikawa Shuji roared loudly: "Get out!" ”

Yabei's face turned pale with fright.

"Bastard!" Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a slapping mouth. Shikawa Shuji roared, "It's over with a guy like you!" Bastard! Stand up to me! Rough treatment of weapons is confinement. Just one meal a day, you know? A sucker! Punish you for carrying three rifles while standing guard at night! ”

This was followed by a detailed description of how to maintain firearms and bayonets, including their use, disassembly, and assembly. Then everyone began to try to disassemble, assemble and maintain the guns.

The structure of the Mini rifle is quite simple, but it is not easy for people who have no sense of maintenance.

"Did you write it all down?!" Zichuan roared at all the soldiers. All the education in the barracks is forced indoctrination, and it is all forced to memorize the soldiers by loud reprimands.

The rifle shooting training lasted for a week, and most of the Japanese mercenaries had experience in arquebus shooting, so there was little difficulty in using Nanyang-style rifles. Even faster than the recruits of the Vō army, who had to overcome their fear of firearms, had to work a lot of time.

After 40 rounds of non-reloading and 20 rounds of live firing in a row. The troops were again transferred to bayonet training. After the eight-week training, the basic training of the Japanese battalion of the Public Security Force was completed, and the organization of the unit began.

Among the more than 370 Japanese mercenaries who were contracted to work for the Senate. Eventually, it was organized into four security companies. It's still a 100-person establishment. However, there were no drummers or flutists in the company, only flag-bearers and trumpeters. Officers at the company and platoon levels and company chiefs are temporarily transferred from the regular army to naturalized civilian soldiers, and in accordance with the principle of low posts and high allocation, sergeants in the former regular army are to serve as platoon commanders and sergeants to serve as company commanders, with the same military rank but enjoying the corresponding post allowance.

The establishment and operation of the security forces were decided on the basis of discussions at the "Danzhou Seminar."

At the end of the security war in northern Qiongbei, the motion to establish a full-time security army had already appeared. In order to give full play to the role of the public security forces, the General Staff Department held an "on-site seminar on anti-guerrilla public security warfare" in Danzhou, at which Xue Ziliang introduced the methods, ideas, and lessons learned from a series of anti-guerrilla operations conducted in Danzhou under his auspices.

One of the main lessons learned from the meeting was that it was necessary to have sufficient mobile forces to carry out strikes. It is necessary to ensure effective control and management of all strongholds and settlements. Militias and national armies can be organized in the areas under rule, and in newly occupied areas that have not been "indoctrinated", there must be sufficient security forces to exercise control over the main settlements. Suppress local tyrants, ensure that the enemy cannot receive supplies and personnel from the settlements, protect the local administration, and ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees.

The security forces formed for this purpose do not need to be very large. Nor does there need to be synthetized - they do not need to form special logistics units and heavy fire support units - this part is supported by the regular army. Even in queues and tactical training, it can be greatly simplified. Do not conduct overly complex queue change training and cooperative tactical training.

Combat training focused on shooting, bomb throwing, combat, geotechnical and riot suppression, while tactics focused on patrolling and defensive operations.

Because the security forces are dispersed in their deployment and activities, the largest tactical unit is the company. A detachment is set up at the top of the company as an administrative and logistical supply unit, and the number of companies under the jurisdiction of the detachment is not fixed. It is suitable for decentralized deployment and flexible configuration.

After the completion of the onboard battalion, they were sent to the naval training team in Bopu for two weeks of sailing adaptation training and white-knuckle combat training on the ship, so as to prepare for the departure of the ship. The onboard battalion will be redeployed to Taiwan as part of the advance force of the security forces, and then part will be sent to Jeju Island.

The naval training camp is located in Bopu, and almost all kinds of facilities are the works of the People's Commissar of the Navy Ming Qiu, and the military house and navy who are the head of military history and equipment, Ming Lao is serious about the PLAN troops step by step from the big head soldiers, and has his own set of unique experience in training and leading troops.

"Comment!"

"Please take a break"

"The landing of the first company of the sailors is very fast, but the equipment is wet, how can you fight?!"

"The combat training mission of the Second Sailor Brigade is already halfway over, and there are still people who have cut the sail cable, will they fight the pirates with their stomachs when the time comes?!"

……

As an errand under Commander Ming, it is necessary to be scolded every day, but as an old navy, it is only Ming Qiu's professional habit to be on the training ground, and immediately after the disbandment, he will mingle with the majority of commanders and fighters. However, as an old navy, Ming Qiu is used to fast diving, and even dreams are the sharpened bow that splits the white waves. For maneuvering sailboats, forming a battle line is a complete layman, and he has not figured out how to command the most powerful surface fleet in this time and space.

……

Kill!

Ha!

Stab!

Roar!

Take a 5-minute break! You can go to the toilet, don't go far!

Be! Sir!

Disband!

Shikawa Shuji and seven or eight Japanese walked to the shade of a tree with bayonet-mounted Nanyang-style rifles in their hands to drink, while looking at a group of Australians in the distance in a strange formation, holding strange flags and bamboo poles, walking slowly, stopping from time to time to point or retreat somewhere to re-walk, I really don't understand what they are practicing.

Ming Qiu and his officers ignored the pointing of the Japanese mercenaries in the distance, and carried out their own training by themselves.

Strictly speaking, this is not training, this is a tactical simulation method invented by Admiral Ming, similar to the previous time and space pilots holding small planes on the ground to compare various flight maneuvers. It's just that now the captains of the ships are leading a few of their subordinates to stand in a row to simulate a ship, and the 901 ship and the 854 ship are the baby bumps of the Senate, and the Senate and the Executive Committee have a certain degree of wariness of pirate-born naval personnel, so when appointing the first batch of officers in charge of key positions on the ship, they first focus on "reliability". As a result, the officer corps of these "capital ships" has fallen behind in their ship-handling and tactical capabilities.

In order to compensate for this shortcoming, it is necessary to intensify training. There is very little time left for them to train. I am about to go to sea to carry out a mission, and I can only practice while sailing, and tactical training must start in advance.
