Most of Borneo was under Dutch control, northern Sarawak was controlled by the British-founded Brooke dynasty, and Sabah was directly under British rule.

In order to avoid premature conflict with the European colonial powers when his own strength was weak, Hu Zhen adopted the strategy of staying away from the coastal areas of Borneo and going deep into the hinterland, which has now played a good role.

But the Chinese army could not stay forever in the middle of Borneo's primeval forests and mingle with the indigenous tribes.

That would be extremely detrimental to future industrial development.

First of all, it was difficult for the Huaxia army to communicate with the outside world through the sea, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Dutch navy, the landing site of the Huaxia army was in a narrow bay outside Qingyan Village in the southwest of Borneo, there was no good wharf, and it could only be transported ashore by small sampan, and the efficiency of loading and unloading goods was extremely low.

If the Dutch army discovers the connection between the Huaxia Army and the outside world, it will inevitably completely cut off the Huaxia Army's contact with the outside world from the sea. And the Chinese army will be difficult to do anything in the jungle in the middle of Borneo.

The strategy that works today is to take the Dutch-controlled seaports of Borneo on a large scale as a first step; The second step is to recall as soon as possible those who are studying navy in Europe, South America and other places, build a navy, and lay the foundation in Borneo.

To seize the territory controlled by the Dutch, the Huaxia Army will fight directly with the Dutch Colonial Army for the first time, the Dutch Colonial Army is a mixed army of white Europeans and colonial natives, although the weapons of the Huaxia Army are far more advanced than the European ** teams in this era, but the Netherlands is a European power after all, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

Hu Zhen was not at all careless when he was about to engage such an opponent, and he was determined to train the Huaxia army strictly before fighting the Dutch to provide a solid foundation for victory.

The 15 regiments of the five detachments of the Huaxia Army now have more than 33,000 personnel, and more than half of them are recruits.

Recruits are completely blank slates, unfamiliar with the use of weapons, let alone any actual combat experience.

However, a blank piece of paper can draw the most beautiful and best pictures, and Hu Zhen formulated a strict training plan outline based on the experience of later generations.

In fact, according to the outline of Hu Zhen's training plan, the bullets, grenades, shells, and various weapons consumed every day are a lot of real money.

However, Hu Zhen doesn't care at all, isn't it just a little gold and silver, just use it and find a way to earn it back, the most important thing is to have a strong army.

When all the cadres saw the outline of the training plan that Hu Zhen took out, they all gasped.

Hu Zhen asked in the outline of the training plan:

The entire Huaxia Army carried out intensive training, and a newly recruited infantry was trained in technical training from standing posture to queue formation, and then to familiarizing himself with weapons, shooting, bomb throwing, and assassination.

Veterans should focus on improving their training in shooting, bomb throwing, assassination, and tactical movements, and lead new recruits to conduct a series of systematic training, such as squad and platoon tactical coordination, battalion and company tactical coordination, and regiment-level combined tactics.

In addition to leading the soldiers in training, officers should also gather in batches to conduct combined tactical command training for all branches of the armed forces, and in the future, they will also conduct training in the coordinated operation of all arms of the corps.

If you look at the level of this training program, it is only stronger than the training of the best teams in Europe.

Several cadres have been with Hu Zhen for a long time, and they are used to these advanced new things, but they are greatly surprised by the cost consumption caused by Hu Zhen's prescribed training.

The reason for the surprise is that as far as they know, none of the European powers will invest such a huge cost in training.

What surprised everyone was not the amount of exercise in the training of recruits, after all, the amount of training and exercise in the era of cold weapons was also very large, and it was no problem to consume twice as much physical strength as the amount of exercise, and the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were all selected people, with good physical fitness, and they were well fed every day in the army, and their physical strength was enough to replenish them.

"Sir, each recruit has to train to shoot a thousand rounds? Each artillery group training must fire 300 shells? We have tens of thousands of people, but we need tens of millions of bullets? More than 100,000 shells are consumed? Not to mention the bullets that fifty or sixty thousand militia training to consume per person! ”

Jiang Yunfeng said a sentence in the middle of the sound, when he was in the Lanfang Republican ** team, the recruits had fired ten bullets at most in training, and in order to save bullets, some recruits had only fired one bullet.

Hu Zhen was very unimpressed: "I haven't shot so many bullets, how can I practice marksmanship well?" If you find a talented fighter, you have to put him in sniper training, and each person must shoot at least 10,000 rounds of ammunition! ”

"Sir, bullets, are we producing enough bullets and shells? Moreover, some weapons may be rifled or broken during training! ”

Even Su Wenzhen asked Hu Zhen questions.

Jiang Yunfeng and Su Wenzhen were not heartbroken for spending money, he knew that Hu Zhen was a big tyrant, and real money seemed to be endless, but he was worried that money would not be able to buy it. The arsenal in the town of Lager began to use the machines shipped back from Germany to make bullets and shells, but because of the constraints of raw materials and the proficiency of workers, the output was very limited, at most 600,000 a month, and the output of shells was even less, and it would take several years to meet this training requirement.

When Hu Zhen said this, he was even more understated: "It's okay, our own production is not enough, I have arranged for a secret order of 100 million rounds of ammunition and 200,000 shells in Germany, which will be shipped back in batches, and the output of our arsenal will gradually increase in the future!" Don't worry about weapons, it won't take long for the Ragtown Arsenal to meet this consumption demand! ”

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Hu Zhen took a moment and said fiercely: "What can be solved with money is nothing, you don't have to think about anything." For the sake of our victory, all you have to do now is to train me the quality of the recruits according to the training plan, and I need a strong army that is not even the strongest army in Europe! ”

The respected Mr. Hu in front of him gave everyone such good training conditions, what else can he say?

After a while, several cadres stood up and saluted Hu Zhen together: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Everyone ran back to their troops with all their strength, led their subordinates, and immediately began training according to the outline of the training plan.

After the arrangement was completed, Hu Zhen personally went to the various units to inspect it.

I saw that the training ground of various units of the Huaxia Army was full of dragons and tigers, and the shouts of killing and guns and artillery rose to the sky. All units carry out strict training in accordance with the outline of the training plan.

Seeing this, Hu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and walked away, walking towards the distance outside the training ground.

Hu Zhen was going to inspect the guard post.

The Huaxia Army's advanced weapons are more advanced than any other country in the world, and large-scale training must be kept secret, so the guard post has been placed 100 kilometers away.

Borneo is vast and sparsely populated, and there is enough land for the Chinese army to make such arrangements.

Inspections along the way found that all designated locations were equipped with double sentry posts and secret sentry posts, monitoring everything and prohibiting all unrelated people from breaking into the training ground.

However, the hinterland of Borneo is boiling, and outsiders cannot see the true face of the Huaxia Army's training, but this huge sound cannot be stopped, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of others.
