Hu Zhen said noncommittally: "Pay attention to strict secrecy, we can't use tanks to fight casually now, and we will only use this kind of weapon of mass destruction in the key battle or decisive battle with the strong European forces!" ”

Su Wenzhen picked up next to him and said: "According to the information fed back by Chen Zichao, this is just a rumor that circulates in the oral legend of the defeated Dutch soldiers, and the European countries do not believe in the fact that we used six tanks and combat vehicles in the Battle of Pontianak at all, almost everyone says that the Dutch defeated soldiers are just making reasons for their defeat, and there are even some people who think that these defeated soldiers have delirious hallucinations, and no intelligence personnel of that country have investigated this." Moreover, even if someone wants to inquire about this information, it will be nothing, and now our troops keep the information about the existence of tanks and combat vehicles strictly secret, and it is difficult to find out any valuable information from us! ”

Hu Zhen nodded and said: "We have a sharp weapon like a tank and a combat vehicle, as long as we show our faces on the battlefield, we will definitely let others know, but now we can block it for as long as we can, and now the fewer people know, the better, if it suddenly appears on the battlefield one day, it will bring immeasurable shock to our opponents!" There are many more secret weapons, you have to pay attention to secrecy! ”

"Yes, all the officers and men of the Huaxia Army will definitely keep this secret! Sir, how was today's exercise? Liang Kunri, Cui Jinfeng and others did not dare to continue to talk to Hu Zhen about the secret weapon such as the tank, they were eager to know Hu Zhen's evaluation of the exercise.

"Hmph, the exercise plan is all predetermined by you, of course, you behave decently, but if you change a drill plan temporarily, can you fight?"

"Sir, don't you often say that change is faster than planned, and we are always ready to take on the worst challenges!"

When Hu Zhen heard this, he stared at the generals in front of him for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll change this plan." Do it! ”

After the land military exercise that day, Hu Zhen ordered the General Staff Headquarters to immediately mobilize more than 20 warships, including naval battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, to rush to the designated location to participate in the exercise. Together with the Navy's warships, they will cooperate with each other to carry out three-dimensional military exercises on land, sea and air.

The Huaxia Army practiced the joint command of the navy and the army, and the integration between the navy and the army was already very close, and radio stations were generally equipped, and the communication between the navy and the army and the airship units formed a primitive data link. Mutual cooperation was relatively rapid, and all units participating in the exercise entered the exercise area before the time node specified by Hu Zhen.

Under the shelling data link indicated by the airship, the large-caliber heavy artillery of the warships of the Navy fiercely bombarded the "enemy" area.

The 210-millimeter guns on the battleships Dahua and Daxia, the 254-millimeter guns on the battleships Maine captured from the United States, and the 155-millimeter guns of other cruisers opened fire fiercely at the "enemy," with a loud noise that resounded throughout the world.

Subsequently, on land, the land army of the Huaxia Army rushed forward with ironclad armor, and the tide of infantry poured in, flooding the "enemy" positions with a dense rain of bullets......

What pleased Hu Zhen the most was that in this large-scale sea and land synthesis exercise of the large corps. Officers at all levels, who were rigorously trained in accordance with the training syllabus, showed satisfactory qualities.

Even the cultural quality of the officers, with whom Hu Zhen was initially dissatisfied, has been greatly improved, and all senior officers can personally write concise and concise order messages during the battle, while ordinary soldiers can also read the order documents sent by their superiors and can carry out combat tasks according to orders.

As a result of the frenzied training and study of all personnel of the Huaxia Army ordered by Hu Zhen at any cost, the Huaxia Army already has the quality and foundation to be equipped with more advanced weapons, and it only takes a few hours to expand to a million-strong army and sweep away the Nanyang and Northern Expeditions to China itself.

In the midst of the roar of artillery fire and the frenzy of the army's charge, Hu Zhen sneered: "Nima's! Who in this world can withstand our artillery bombardment? ”

After military exercises. A grand ceremony was held to confer military ranks, and Hu Zhen personally awarded military ranks to the generals.

The construction of military ranks is an important part of the regularization of the Huaxia Army under Hu Zhen's arrangement.

According to Hu Zhen's design, the Huaxia Army set up a military rank system of 12 ranks: marshal, general, general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, and second lieutenant. Among the soldiers, there are four ranks: sergeant, sergeant, corporal, and private.

Su Wenzhen, chief of the General Staff, Zheng Dingbang, deputy chief of the General Staff, and division commanders Liang Kunri, Cui Jinfeng, Ouyang Yu, Jiang Yunfeng, Chen Qishan, and Zhang Guobing were awarded the rank of major general, and the rest of the officers were awarded the rank of colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, and second lieutenant.

However, Hu Zhen did not want to give himself a military rank.

In front of Hu Zhen, the stars twinkled, and a group of generals and officers saluted Hu Zhen.

"Sir, you should be awarded the rank of marshal!" Several generals were very excited. rushed up to salute Hu Zhen.

"No, I'm not suitable for this, the rank of marshal is still waiting to be awarded to you after you have made great military achievements!" Although Hu Zhen was the founder of the Huaxia Army, he was not very interested in the matter of conferring military ranks on him.

Hu Zhen's idea is: A set of military rank system designed by himself, which is used to motivate his subordinates, but he wants to get the highest, is this interesting?

"The commander of the army has no rank, so how can he do it?" Liang Kunri was in a hurry.

Hu Zhen saw that it was Liang Kunri who spoke, and couldn't help but snort: "Can't I take you without a military rank?" I don't have a military rank, are you going to disobey my orders? ”

Liang Kunri hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, of course I can." I will definitely listen to the orders of the gentleman! ”

Cui Jinfeng also grabbed the topic next to him and said: "No matter what my military rank is, I will always obey my husband's orders!" ”

Ouyang Yu, Jiang Yunfeng, Chen Qishan, Zhang Guobing and others also said: "Yes, yes, we will always obey the orders of the commander-in-chief!" ”

Hu Zhen's majestic gaze swept the audience before he said, "Since you all obey my orders, then what do I need a military rank for?" It is you who are charging into battle, and the position of marshal is waiting to be granted to you, I am afraid that I will not have much chance to go directly to the battlefield in the future, just point in the rear, and I don't want any military rank! ”

"Yes, we will always obey the orders of the gentleman!"

Now that the morale of the officers is there, Hu Zhen naturally wants to point out the next strategic goal: "Okay, our next strategic goal is to keep an eye on the Luzon Islands, lay down the Luzon Islands, approach our motherland of Great China, and finally realize the ultimate rise of Great China!" ”

"Sir, when are we going to do it?"

"When the time comes, do it now!" (To be continued.) )
