Fortunately, Wang Erren had already assured Wei Hong that he would soon be provided with standard, durable quasi-khaki and thick canvas blended with pure cotton and wool, the former could be used as a military uniform, and it was the kind of military uniform with camouflage and suitable for jungle combat, while the latter could be used as a canvas military backpack, bullet pouch, belt, and so on.

Regarding Wei Hong's question about shoes and socks, which are very important to the soldiers, Wang and Zhou also said that they would provide the garrison with cow and sheep skin or pig skin military boots within the year, and cotton socks could also be provided in large quantities.

However, King Zhou and Wang said to Wei Hong in a telegram, in fact, you can't find us for these things first, you should first propose to our financial director Xia Damei, have her make a budget, and then submit it to the plenary meeting for discussion and approval, and then place an order with us, and the price should be agreed in advance.

Don't forget, Huasheng Textile is a private limited liability company, you Wei Hong is also a shareholder, and the expenses of the free trade zone where you are located, theoretically belong to the national budget, should be included in taxes and other financial revenues, and then when our business is up, pay taxes, and have financial revenues, we can place orders and purchases here, and this will be the case in the future, so although this batch of military uniforms did not ask you for silver, it must be recorded in the accounts, otherwise how to be worthy of the interests of your shareholders?

Well, what we're talking about can be a bit complicated, I don't know if you can understand Yunyun.

However, Wei Hong immediately said that he could fully understand, although I was just a student who did not graduate from high school in the old world, but we have been traveling for so many years, and I usually do not study less in class. Don't worry, my door is clear......

Just before Wei Honglin's departure, Boss Luo also promised him that as long as Holley Quanzhenhai's steel mill was steeled, he would provide steel helmets to the garrison as soon as possible, and even provide some light metal armor.

As for the production and equipment of light armor, it was specially proposed by Ren Ke Weihong and other people from the Huotang Club, who, after historical research and deduction of reality, believed that during the period when we had not yet fully weaponized firearms, armor such as steel helmets, light cuirass, abdominal armor, and shoulder armor that could cover key parts of the body were still needed.

Because these equipment do have a protective effect, and for front-line combat soldiers, these protective equipment is undoubtedly a great spiritual comfort.

You must know that in this era, wearing a thick cotton coat can effectively resist the attack of knives and arrows, although in the tropics, you can't wear thick cotton clothes to fight, but in the face of most naked enemies, your own armor will undoubtedly occupy a great technical advantage in hand-to-hand combat and medium and close combat, and it is an encouragement to the morale of the soldiers.

By analogy, Wei Hong and the others even believe that for a long time to come, even after our army has been completely musketed, soldiers will still have a demand for these light armor, and theoretically speaking, this demand will not disappear until our enemies completely abandon the cold weapon combat method.

Obviously, this is a long time period.

From the day after Wei Hong's arrival, this garrison of Han Chinese and Japanese ronin began intense military training under his leadership.

The training was carried out in shifts on the basis of not delaying Hou Xianglin's construction work.

In spite of this, Wei Hong's military training content is also very formal, and the training program is almost a copy of the military regulations of a certain Western power in the old world; not only that, but he also refers to the physical training content of many special operations units in the old world, and insists that his team members must be comprehensively trained in both physical fitness and skills, and must not be neglected.

In order to allow Wei Hong to get started smoothly in the early stage, Peng Qiang, the chief gunner of the Pride, and Hu Xiaolin, the chief engineer, also participated in the auxiliary teaching in the early stage.

In just two days, one-sixth of the people in the garrison basically mastered the essentials of using the Type 57 rifle, and the rest was the practice of proficiency.

Obviously, due to the insufficient number of guns, most of the people's training results were not very satisfactory when each team member took turns to practice training, but in this way, more than sixty relatively intelligent people were also selected, and Wei Hong made these people serve as the grassroots officers of the garrison - squad leaders and team leaders.

However, due to the lack of ammunition, after each of the more than 60 squad leaders and leaders fired ten rounds of ammunition, Wei Hong did not dare to let the soldiers shoot live ammunition anymore.

But the training of soldiers cannot be idle.

So immediately afterwards, Wei Hong put the old world assassination technique into the training syllabus, and the team members had to practice assassination combat with several thick planks strapped to their bodies every day, including catch training and three-person sparring training.

Wei Hong demanded that each of these members of the garrison must pass the test, and the standard was to be able to follow Wei Hong's wooden stick through five rounds.

Don't underestimate this, Wei Hong had been practicing fighting and assassination with brainwave training long before the crossing, coupled with his height of 1.76 meters and the strict daily exercise that he had never interrupted, Wei Hong was already a pretty strong person today.

Not only strong, but also skillful.

Therefore, for the Japanese ronin, who are less than 1.55 meters tall, and the Ming military households, who are less than 1.65 meters tall, it is quite difficult for them, who are relatively thin, to support Wei Hong's wooden stick for five rounds.

However, it wasn't long before everyone could barely get five rounds with Wei Hong, he raised the bar to ten rounds.

This is the advice given to Wei Hong by the people of the Huotang Club: through strict and even harsh training, build a "seed army" with excellent skills and discipline, and then expand this "seed" team into a large-scale army at the right time, and strive to make each seed become a squad leader with ten soldiers, and in the process, you can also gain high prestige in this team......

In addition to skills training, another important content is platoon, military posture and discipline training.

Compared with shooting and assassination fighting, the training progress of the latter three is relatively slow, and Wei Hong found that as Zhu Beiguo said, even a soldier from a Ming military household could not understand the rhythm of the drum, could not distinguish between left and right, and could not get out of the neat queue.

Queue training is very important, and Wei Hong knows very well in his heart that this is by no means used to review the pretense, because of the limitations of the times and the performance of the weapon, whether it is the five-seven type breech-loading rifled flintlock pistol, or the single-shot bolt-action rifle that will appear in the future, the accuracy of a single soldier's shot is worrying, so on the battlefield, each soldier's shot only provides a hit probability for the dispersion accuracy of the bullet, and because of this, the collective and orderly unified action on the battlefield is the key factor in the combat elements, so, The queue is an extremely important training content that involves the combat effectiveness of the army.

To this end, he spent a lot of effort to tutor these team members individually, and the first to pass his strict queue training was a young man named Chen Jiujin.

Wei Hong found that this young man from the northern military household of the Ming Dynasty had a smart mind, a super memory and imitation ability, and his physical coordination ability was much higher than others.

Therefore, Chen Jiujin was the first person appointed by Wei Hong as the head of the teaching class.

The teaching class was composed of people selected by Wei Hong from among the team members with outstanding training performance, and these people not only had a red strip of cloth sewn on their shoulders as epaulettes, but also received a tael of silver more than others every month.
