Chapter 30 Formation of a garrison
After Lee Jun-ho took control of Kandulu City, he strictly restrained military discipline and sent a large number of troops to maintain order in the city. The arrest and handling of a large number of ruffians made the security environment of the entire city of Kandulu unprecedentedly safe, and at the same time, after Lee Junhao took control of the city of Kandulu, he distributed 2 pounds and 20 catties of food to each black resident of the city. So the common people are very supportive of Lee Jun-ho's rule. The whole city was filled with joy.
In this joyous atmosphere, why are the residents all gathered around the notice board where the British had posted a notice in the past, when a black man asked another black man: "I don't know English, tell us, what is written on this notice?" β
"Nothing, it's just a post of our African People's Army recruiting police and recruiting soldiers." β
"You read it to all of us, and we will all listen." The black man said, and then the other black men followed suit.
"Okay, I'll read it, you have to listen to it. Because the area controlled by our African People's Army is constantly growing, and there is a serious shortage of troops in the army, a large number of outstanding African men are now recruited to join the army, and those who pass the assessment at the recruitment point will be given a one-pound enlistment settlement fee (at this time, how can 1 pound be exchanged for 4 dollars, and 1 dollar can be exchanged for 2. 5 oceans. ), after enlistment, he received a monthly salary of 6 shillings, (one pound was equal to 12 shillings, and one shilling was equal to 20 pence. The selection conditions for serving as a soldier: 1 is in good health, 2 has no bad habits, and 3 is admitted with a good reputation around. 4. Age: 18 years old, 20 years old. A lump sum payment of Β£10 was paid for the death of a car, and the family received a monthly pension of 5 shillings for 18 years. Marri then said:
"And what is written on the other one?" The residents eagerly asked:
"The other says the recruitment of policemen, 500 people, who are paid 3 shillings upon enlistment, and are responsible for maintaining law and order in the city. Those who perform well can be promoted to police officers. The conditions are the same as those for joining the army, and the age is slightly relaxed, from 17 to 30 years old. A bereavement pension of 5 shillings was paid once for 18 consecutive years. "The yard is in the chatter:
"Really, fakely."
"I don't know, why don't we go and take a look, and see if we don't suffer anyway."
"I don't think it's fake, don't forget that the day before yesterday, the African People's Army gave us two pounds and 20 catties of food each, and it will never lie to us, if you don't go, I can sign up I'm only 19 years old this year." A black man said:
With that, the black man ran towards the nearest soldier recruitment point, and the rest of the people shouted, "Cunning." He followed the black man towards the recruiting point.
Soon everyone came to the recruiting point, where the soldiers and recruiters who maintained order shouted "Calm down, everyone, line up." β
Soon there was a long line of young blacks at the recruiting sites, and the last recruiting officer said, "Everyone under 170 centimeters tall and taller than 180 meters, please leave the line." Those who weigh less than 55 kg and those who weigh more than 65 kg will leave the team, and those who do not meet the recruitment requirements will be asked to leave the team. β
Just after the recruiting officer finished talking about the conditions, a large number of blacks left the team in frustration, but there were also some who planned to get away with the tricks and were found and driven out by the soldiers one by one.
"Name?"
"Dulep."
"Age."
"20 years old."
"No, you're at least 30 years old, please leave the group." recruitsoldier says:
"Your own age, you probably know better than us, we are excellent soldiers recruited to fight, not cannon fodder troops who are recruited to die on the battlefield, and we need to receive formal military training when entering the barracks. In the future, the government will also recruit other staff in other local areas. Eventually, under the persuasion of the soldiers, some of the older men left the group.
Soon, under the busyness of the soldiers, it took an afternoon to overcomplete the entire recruitment task, recruiting 4,500 people in the urban area, and a total of 3,500 people in the other 11 towns, that is, a total of 8,000 soldiers were recruited in the entire Kandulu area. Lee Jun-ho initially planned to recruit 6,000 people, but he recruited 8,000 people at once, overstaffing 2,000 people.
Just as the soldiers were recruiting soldiers, Lee Jun-ho drove back to his base, and after entering the base hall, Lee Jun-ho asked Lisa: "Lisa, how many resource points do you get for a rifle alone?" β
Lisa replied, "50 resource points for a semi-automatic rifle, 80 resource points for an automatic rifle, 150 resource points for a light machine gun, 300 resource points for a general-purpose machine gun, and 400 resource points for a heavy machine gun. β¦β¦β
"I have 8,000 indigenous soldiers in my hands now, how do you think it is appropriate to be armed?" Lee Jun Ho asked:
"Those people can form three infantry regiments, you are recruiting 4,000 people, forming an artillery regiment and an armored regiment. Ordinary soldiers are issued semi-automatic rifles, and company and platoon commanders are issued automatic rifles. It is enough to equip the squad with one light machine gun, the company with three general-purpose machine guns, the battalion with three large-caliber heavy machine guns and two mortars to form a machine gun company, and the regiment with nine large-caliber mortars to form an artillery company. What do you think? Lisa said:
"Okay. You can do it. Also, let's add two battalions to my Guards to form a regiment. I'm in front of the stage now. Lee Jun Ho says:
"Well, this is not a problem, you still have a lot of resource points, and it is enough to form the third division." Lisa says:
"Okay. When will my garrison officers be in place. "Li Junhao is more concerned about the issue of officers in his garrison army.
"Hehe, these officers are already being recruited when the weapons for them are being produced, and they will be ready tomorrow morning." Lisa says:
The next morning all the necessary things had been prepared, and the commander of the garrison division was called Apdule, a soldier of about forty years old, of somewhat Arab descent, with a beard and a shocking scar on the left side of his face. It looks very hideous.
Soon after receiving Li Junhao's order, he took the Red Police officers and soldiers recruited by Li Junhao to take office. After arriving at the barracks, he immediately devoted himself to the training of recruits.
Throughout the training process, outsiders thought that their training was very easy, but the real suffering was only known to the recruits themselves. Every day, the whole person is not allowed to fall apart. However, the food in the barracks is very high and nutritious, so these training degrees can be persevered for these poor people. However, there is a lot of resistance to the Chinese language courses set up in the army.
In the end, Li Junhao came up with a ruthless trick, colonial education also had to be encouraged with money, for three months, in this time, those who knew 3,000 Chinese characters and could pronounce them accurately would be rewarded with 5 pounds, those who knew 2,000 Chinese characters and could pronounce them accurately would be rewarded with 3 pounds, and those who knew 1,000 Chinese characters and could pronounce them accurately would be rewarded with 1 pound. Under this temptation, these natives grabbed the Red Police soldiers in the evening and started the great cause of learning Chinese.
