Wen Deji has returned, and he had planned to wait until the ship was finished. Now when he heard that Bopu had been attacked, he hurriedly boarded a ship transporting supplies and rushed back to Bopu.

It seems that it is really right to carry out phalanx training, Wen Desi can't help but feel a little proud of the results after inspecting Bopu, although the phalanx training and horizontal and column tactics are mainly determined by the level of weapons, but the effect is so good that Xi Yaya, who first proposed this plan, is fluttering - this experience is worth promoting in the future.

Bairen sent a Beijing 212 to pick him up, and Ma Qianzhu also happened to follow the car back to Bairen.

Along the way, he and General Ma had a profound exchange of experience in this battle, and although Wen Desi was also worried about the increasing independence of the army, the two sides agreed that the expansion of the army was a top priority.

"If you come in two ways, one by sea and one by land. Twenty large ships, with a ground strength of two or three thousand people. This battle is not so easy to fight. ”

"Fortunately for this battle, we have paid close attention to the military training of the traversal in the past. Almost all of the people who play the main force and backbone are traversal. ”

"That's right, that's what worries me. The combat effectiveness of the new army is not good. "Ma Qianzhuo's face was cold, and compared with the elated masses, he was not happy at all, and in the investigation after the war, it was found that some soldiers of the New Army could not even put on a strong posture, let alone fight bravely, and basically ran away as soon as the cannon went off." Political education is not enough. He concluded.

Wen Desi laughed out loud, and Ma Qianzhuo said: "I know that you are going to say that I am invincible in political education again." What do you have to do? Isn't it the villain's edict to Eli? ”

"If you want me to say, religion is the best. Mass killer. ”

"You want to be an angel!" Ma Qianzhuo is very clear about Wen Desi's ideals, "Absolutely not! It's too heretical. ”

Wen Desi smiled helplessly: "I know everyone disagrees." I will now talk about the political and ideological issues of the military. ”

"Say it."

"A soldier fights in order to eat a bowl of rice, and a soldier fights in order to survive and get ahead, and the fundamental purpose determines subjective initiative." Wen Desi said, "Most of our current soldiers in the new army are still here to eat, and he feels that he is like a kind rich man here, eating well and dressing well, and that's it." They won't die with this delicious meal. ”

"And houses, and fields—"

"That's right, but it's just a pie for them." "I think the soldiers recruited in the commune are much more firm, because they know that we will keep our word and do what we do. Newly recruited from the outside? It's hard to say. ”

"High salary? I don't approve of this, we've already given enough, and the soldiers fight for money, so don't think about using it if you don't have money in the future. ”

"You don't have to raise your salary, you can pay bonuses." Wen Desi grabbed the handrail of the car, "Duke, after such a victory, how can you do it without a certain reward." I heard that yesterday after the battle during the day, I gave the soldiers a meal of horse meat to eat? ”

"The infantry didn't fight at all, and they won with a dozen shots."

"Aren't people also charging in formation, besides, the two battles through the crowd have made great contributions, and the executive committee has not said anything about it, isn't it chilling?"

This is indeed an oversight. In Ma Qianzhuo's original plan, he wanted to take this opportunity to carry out some honors, meritorious service, and even award medals, but he did not consider the matter of distributing money and rewarding the public. At this time, he suddenly realized, the traverser is also a human being!

This conclusion made him smile bitterly, it seems that when you get used to being a leader, you will forget a lot of things. This time, Dugu's marriage proposal, Wang Ruixiang, Lin Shenhe and so on all contributed a lot, if they didn't say anything, it would definitely be chilling.

"You're right, but I have reservations about giving out bonuses."

"Isn't it necessarily money to give bonuses, such as cigarettes, cola, etc. The indigenous people can give rice, salt, and cloth. ”

Ma Qianzhuo nodded, this can be considered.

"The army jishu advantage is not big enough." The losses of the new army are so great, and if they want to fight with the official army in the future, they will not have to pay for all their old capital.

"If we had machine guns and grenades, it would be much stronger." "But we're better than the system—"

"Damn, you're also a Institutional Party?"

"Even if it is, it's clear that we're better than all the armies on this plane in terms of combat system." Wen Desi stretched, "I got on the boat early in the morning." I'll go back to sleep in a while, and I don't have a little secret hug. ”

"I'm worried about two things now," Ma Qianzhuo said, "one is that the expansion of the army will affect production and take up too much labor; The second is the issue of military control. ”

"I've thought about that too." "What do you think, Duke? ”

"Establish an internal affairs department, expand the internal affairs forces, and provide checks and balances on the army. At a certain time, the administrative committee system will be implemented. ”

"The commissar system does not make sense at all for the current army. You let the traversers spy on the traversers? It's not going to be a big deal right away! "If the internal affairs force is expanded too quickly, the meaning will be too obvious. The military chiefs are not stupid. ”

"What do you think?"

"I don't think we can talk about checks and balances yet, the key is to set up the system and then strictly enforce the system. So that everyone has nothing to say, and no one will say that it is directed at them. Wen Desi thought for a while, "It is still necessary to govern the country according to law, this is very important, and you can't engage in power scheming thinking, otherwise there will be endless troubles." For example, the current weapons and ammunition management system is too loose, although most of the weapons are centrally managed, but it is very easy to receive guns, and it is still necessary to carry out the establishment of weapons, which department has a few guns, how much ammunition must be prepared, and the responsibility for keeping it is assigned to the person. Ammunition must be kept in a centralized manner. ”

"Authority to mobilize, dispatch, and dispatch troops—"

"That's right. No matter what kind of country we will become in the future, no one will want to see a society with a small population with a natural constitution. Therefore, from now on, it is necessary to formulate rules and regulations and develop the habit of doing things according to the system. This is the most troublesome, but it is also the most important. Wen Desi said and felt regretful, in fact, he prefers a dystopian country, but there are too many strongmen in this group, so it's better not to do it.

Wen Desi continued: "Regarding the expansion of the army, although it is necessary, I am afraid that the expansion of the army will affect production too much, so should I minimize the number of people in each batch? ”

"Jihua is three months to 1,000 people, which is not high. In fact, you don't have to worry: the army can also support production. ”

Wen Deji smiled: "That's right! We can do three too! He felt speechless, "It's two." ”

(Note: * The so-called "three branches" of the army during the period were the left, the workers, and the farmers.)

"You don't have to be so sensitive!" Ma Qianzhuo also laughed, "Two is two, although I am a leftist, I still agree with the nationalization of the army." Political struggles are mixed with violence, and there are endless troubles. ”

The security team is busy again today, in the two battles during the day and night yesterday, hundreds of prisoners were captured, and a large amount of screening and interrogation of prisoners made Ran Yao feel a little unbearable. He hurriedly called someone to call Mu Min back, and sent translators who understood various dialects from all over the place. Zhou Dongtian also continued to come back to serve the security team.

Today we finally started our official work. The first group of selected prisoners was sent to the office of the security unit.

The office of the vigilante has also been replaced. It was originally located in the compound of the Executive Committee in Bairen City, but later the Executive Committee suspected that the lights there were often kept out all night, and there would be screams from time to time, which attracted protests from some caring people, and it was not appropriate to bring local people who had not undergone the "purification" process into the city. So in the frenzy of infrastructure construction, the security team simply moved outside the city, building a courtyard on the site of the original prisoner detention camp, which was protected by barbed wire, trenches and watchtowers. There is a small two-story building in the courtyard, and the offices of the security team are located in it. To the left of the courtyard is a separate courtyard - this is the prison.

The interrogation room was set up in the main room in the prison courtyard, and the doors and windows of the room were deliberately covered with black cloths to create the effect of a black room. Inside, there was no such thing as the Ten Manchu Tortures, just a fixed chair with handcuffs and shackles, a few tables, and a lamp.

The captives caught during the day yesterday have basically passed the hall once, and on the whole, there is not much oil and water. The captives are basically temporary workers, and the oldest ones can't say why, only that they are sent by Zhucai. However, the executive committee obviously did not believe this statement, and the captives captured at night were much more complicated, although there were only about fifty people, and from the appearance of them, there were Chinese, and there were natives from Southeast Asia, a few who seemed to be Ah San, and two with deep hair and pale skin, and they looked like foreigners.

This made Ran Yao a little embarrassed, originally the various dialects in this time and space were enough to give people a headache, and now there are so many people, even if the foreigners are counted, they can still find it if they can speak English, Spanish and the like through the crowd, but what language did this Ah San and the Southeast Asian natives speak at that time?

After thinking about it for a long time, let's start with Chinese pirates first.

The interrogation of prisoners also mainly looked at the clothes first, and the person who was tattered and malnourished would definitely not be the leader, so he first picked out the best in the crowd and was neatly dressed.

Outside the interrogation room were several police officers with sticks, led by Dugu's marriage proposal - they were seconded on a temporary basis. There were also soldiers with rifles with bayonets. Dugu's marriage proposal made a big splash in the battle of Bopu, and the pirates were terrified of him. The back of the necks of the pirates who were sitting in the courtyard with a machete and smiling at them and tied up in a string were a little chilled at the back of their necks.

During the interrogation, Ran Yao personally served as the interrogator, and there were three interpreters inside, who could speak Cantonese Mandarin, Lingao and Hokkien respectively. After Dugu proposed and arranged the guards, he also dressed up neatly and prepared to ...... (Before the interrogation, he said that if anyone resisted, he would be executed immediately...... ）
