In the twenty-ninth year of Chengtian, spring has arrived. The cold winter is gone, and the warm spring breeze blows green the whole northland.

Yes, Northland.

In the latest definition in the Chen and Han geography textbooks, the word "north" no longer refers only to the north of the Yellow River, but to the entire Chen and Han old land.

From the old national border to the south, that is, to the province of Cochin, this is the south.

The geographical term Central Plains has also expanded from the specific Central Plains Province to the entire old Han Dynasty.

This is unacceptable to many people, but they have to face it.

The territory of the empire has expanded much more than the 'world' of the past, and the 'world' of the past has become the center of the entire empire's territory. Just like the Central Plains in the old days in the whole 'world'. And this magnificent picture, spring is like a superb painter, the sun is her brush, the earth is her canvas, dipped in the thick of spring, constantly painting and painting, rendering the whole 'northern country'.

The mountains are green, the water is green, the willows are green, the peach blossoms are red, and the hearts of the people are warm.

One stroke of a stroke of flowers in the world, one stroke of a stroke of the rivers and mountains overflowing with rhyme.

It was also in such a spring season that the annual enlistment of new recruits began.

Since the Chen Han military system was overhauled, the enlistment of new recruits has changed from autumn to spring every year, the military inspection in August last year, the name was set in September, one winter into the recruit camp for training, and the next year in February and March. Depending on the location, the enlistment time of recruits varies.

Binjiang County, that is, Harbin in later generations. As one of the important garrisons of the Northeast Garrison, the National Defense Force here maintains an integrated brigade structure all year round - the division headquarters of the 15th Division of the Northeast Military Region plus the 29th Brigade station.

Today is the day when the troops receive new recruits, and in the office of the 29th Brigade Headquarters, Brigade Commander He Yang is sitting on a big chair behind his desk, with a serious expression on his face.

He had a very bad feeling in his heart.

Because he received a greeting from the logistics department of the military region half a month ago, this 'greeting' made him uneasy for half a month. His instincts told him that there must be moths.

But the 29th Brigade is the main force of the reorganized 15th Division, and in the entire Northeast Military Region, the 29th Brigade is also a fist force.

He Yang understands the truth of the tree, but he thinks that it can't be too much, right?

Of course, this is all based on his own speculation.

Time passed little by little, from a little more than eight o'clock to a quarter past ten, and an urgent message came from the correspondent of the brigade headquarters. There are 300 North Korean soldiers to be assigned to the 29th Brigade.

He Yang's marble-like expression instantly cracked.

"Is it ethnic Koreans, or is it a conscription from the Korean region?" The latter will most likely also be descendants of Han Chinese immigrants.

"Brigade Marshal, it's a Korean ethnic group." The correspondent was crying with a sad face.

300 ethnic Koreans, good fellows, this can harm half of the 29 Brigade.

Since North Korea was incorporated into the territory of Chen Han, the current batch of North Korean soldiers is not the first batch, nor will it be the last. And the ability of these North Koreans to serve as soldiers has been fully explained by the previous 'facts'.

"Brigade commander, our 29th Brigade is a fist unit."

The 29th Brigade and the regiment on the side were scared and their legs were weak, and he actually wanted to say that their 29th Brigade and the regiment were the fist troops of the entire integrated division, don't mess around like this, okay?

The 29 Brigade has a total of only 700 recruits this year, half of whom should be in a regiment, and one-tenth of them will be exchanged for blood, which will definitely have an impact on the combat effectiveness of a regiment, not to mention the replacement of a group of Korean soldiers.

Over the years, North Korean soldiers have earned them the impression that they are not fit to be soldiers.

I don't know if the sharp knife of the '29th Brigade One Regiment' in the past can still fight after the blood exchange, and whether it is as sharp as before.

As the commander of the 29th Brigade, He Yang was very worried, but on the surface, he couldn't show his 'disgust'.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want his men to mix in with the squishy North Koreans. But he knew that he couldn't stop it.

He admits that he has some prejudice against North Koreans and that he is deeply unbalanced in his heart.

The correspondent reported that there were only five or six hundred North Korean soldiers in the entire Northeast Military Region, and half of them fell to his 29th Brigade. It's really dog day. I think he He Yang is not a person who has no roots, and the 29th Brigade he is in charge of is the fist unit of the Northeast Military Region, why did this bad thing fall on his head?

He Yang led the troops to be hardworking, meticulous, strict with his subordinates, but also very considerate of his subordinates, very respectful of his superiors, and once there was an order, he would carry it out without hesitation.

But why is it my turn to be unlucky?

This year's reinforcement is not only a 29th Brigade, but also a small 20,000 recruits from the Northeast Military Region. As a result, half of the soldiers were assigned to the 29th Brigade, and He Yang felt a serious imbalance in his heart, and he was even more aggrieved. And the regiment of the 29th Brigade and the First Regiment at this time was like a leaf that had been beaten by frost, wilting and drooping.

He Yang has a complaint in his heart. But military discipline, that no one can disobey. The army is not a teahouse, and it is an iron law for subordinates to obey their superiors, and this is the discipline that the Wehrmacht has repeatedly emphasized.

No matter how annoying He Yang is, he must accept this fact. Although he really doesn't have a good impression of North Koreans. Before, it was just because I didn't look down on it, but now it's completely disgusted.

If it's not about you, you can hang it high, but if it involves yourself, then no one can hang up.

However, the army is in the service of politics.

Nowadays, North Korea has become a geographical term, not a separate country, and the two provinces of Lelang and Andong are already the territory of Chen Ming, a part of Chen Han, and the local Koreans must be Chinese. And since Koreans are nationals, there is no reason to escape military service.

It's just that these Koreans are a little too uncompetitive, especially the Koreans in Andong [South Korea], who are extremely weak, and they are simply insulting the word 'soldier'.

But Chen Ming still had to recruit soldiers from the North Koreans, and even there were several 'pure-blooded' North Korean troops in the Lelang and Andong jurisdictions, of course, all of them were 'team' level formations. At the same time, a small number of North Koreans are needed to become officers, and even senior officers in the Wehrmacht. Although Chen Ming does not require them to be a group of qualified officers, whether the officers are qualified or not, they will only know after a long walk on the battlefield.

North Koreans in this era, forget it.

Chen Ming felt that these sticks were just underbeaten, and he beat them so badly that they couldn't even be recognized by the, and when they had to resist, that tenacity was also shown. And now North Korea, obviously, there is none.

But Chen Ming knows the name, and he must grit his teeth and admit it. That's politics!

Even though the army is a 'war machine,' this 'war machine' also serves politics, and it cannot be separated from politics in any way.

Of course, He Yang can firmly refuse the North Koreans to enter the army, and he can also use the banner of thinking about the combat effectiveness of his own troops, but if he does this, his life will come to an end. Because it would prove his political inferiority in another way.

The imperial court does not care whether middle and lower-ranking officers are 'political' or not. However, if a brigade commander is already a general and has already entered the sequence of a senior officer of the Wehrmacht, then it is absolutely necessary to 'stress politics'.

He Yang does not talk about politics, which not only shows that he has poor understanding, but also shows that he is not qualified. No big picture! Or to put personal hills too seriously. Left such an impression on the top, can such a person go far?

There are not many people who understand the truth, but there are many people who don't understand it, but He Yang is definitely one of them.

His father was He Erhu, who was also a middle- and high-ranking officer in the Fu Han Army.

At that time, Chen Ming was leading the Fu Han army to attack Hunan, and He Erhu, Hu Mantian, and Zhu Hongfei of Daozhou led the people to revolt one after another, and easily took Daozhou City, so that the Fu Han army that had just rushed to Yongzhou Mansion City hit a big red envelope head-on.

He Erhu also directly led more than 1,000 people to join the Fuhan Army in Yongzhou and became the brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Hunan Army, sitting in Changde. He has also made great contributions to Chen Han. Even if he later quit active duty, it earned the He family a count's hat.

It's just that this hat can't be buckled on He Yang's head, and He Erhu is not just a son. And He Yang has now been promoted to the position of commander of the main brigade, let him give up the position of general and go to the Americas thousands of miles away to 'fight the world', He Erhu does not have such courage.

It's really that the title of earl of his family is too inferior.

Moreover, there are so many feudal countries in the vast Americas, and now many noble families say that such a feudal country is learning the story of the 'Eight Hundred Princes of Zhou'. And who can guarantee that the Americas will always be safe and stable? In the event of a war, it is inevitable that they will annex each other.

Therefore, the American Society is the foundation of many noble families, but there are also many branches left in China.

Few people want to put their eggs in a basket.

……

Just when He Yang was muttering in his heart, heavy public carriages had already driven to the front of the barracks of the 29th Brigade station.

"It's here, it's here! Get off the bus! Lined up! Stand still! The clothes and hats are all ready! ”

More than twenty public carriages brought in seven hundred recruits.

"Now all of them, look backwards, stand upright!"

"Now I'm going to take a roll call, and when I read your name, I'll shout 'yes'! Do you hear that? ”

A Wehrmacht Left Lieutenant strode to the front of the queue of recruits, in the small square in front of the camp gate, and all around, at least 200 Wehrmacht soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were eyeing them. There was also a group of non-commissioned officers lined up, and all the recruits were extremely well-behaved, standing honestly, without a single murmur.

The officer opened the roster he was holding, cleared his throat, and immediately began to roll roll in the sight of thousands of people.

"Li Wei, Liu Dayong, Zhang Liran...... "The Wehrmacht officers named first named eight people, and then ordered them to go out of the ranks." You are a regiment, a battalion, a regiment of recruits. ”

"Wang Jun!"

"Here!" A corporal officer was called out of the officer ranks. Then the left captain of the Wehrmacht who was named waved his hand: "A few of you, follow him to a team." "These eight recruits are the most comprehensive part of this group of recruits.

After all, a regiment, a battalion, and a team are the elite of the entire 29 Brigade.

Thus began the distribution of recruits.

And just as Captain Zuo was circling the command of this group of more than seven or eight hundred recruits, the roof of a five-story building in the barracks. A Wehrmacht Major General officer was talking to a plus lieutenant next to him, pointing at the crowd of recruits.
