Originally, Zhuo Shijie was going to attack the Spanish garrison in the northern part of Taiwan Island after settling down in the city of Geranza, but he did not expect the Spaniards to take the lead in attacking him, which just happened to severely defeat his military strength.

After marching into the northern part of the island, there is still a lot of work to be done.

This group of 200 recruits, because they have just joined and have not yet been trained, will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield, and the main force this time is still the same veterans from the past.

At this time, it was extremely difficult to travel from the southern end to the northern end of Taiwan Island, with high mountains and dense forests, and there were no roads at all in many places.

Zhuo Shijie originally planned to send only the Cherry to attack the Spanish garrison, but in order to give these soldiers more opportunities to refine, he chose to attack from land this time.

He gave Anne a few days to hurry up and build the troop carrier, and with the troop carrier, the problem of marching was solved.

The 200 recruits who had just joined, under Instructor Jack, also experienced what it was like to be a soldier.

The recruits were trained like dogs every day, and at the end of the training, they all lay on the ground, only gasping for breath.

"My mother, this silver is really hard to take! I didn't expect it to be so hard to be a soldier! ”

"Five taels of silver a month, five taels! Five taels of white silver, do you think you can get it for a few days? ”

"Look at those veterans, many of them don't seem to be as good as us, but how can they stand it?"

"It's good to get used to it, didn't the instructor say it, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime, this is really true, you didn't listen to the veterans? They fought several big battles, but none of them died! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's better to work hard, it's better than going to the battlefield and giving your life! ”

"No matter what you say, the food here is really not bad, it's better than what my family ate during the New Year, this soldier is worth it!"

Although these recruits shouted hard and tired every day, no one wanted to desert.

Zhuo Shijie has not been idle in the past few days, he is thinking about the future development direction.

What needs to be done at the moment is to first stabilize the stronghold of Taiwan Island, the geographical location of Taiwan Island is too important, it is close to the mainland in the west, the Japanese Kingdom in the north, Luzon Island in the south, and the open Pacific Ocean in the east, and he has already made up his mind that Taiwan Island will be his most important military base for a long time.

He was in the Doge's Palace, with a pen in hand, drawing on a drawing of the city of Geranza.

"This area can be used as a warehouse, this is an indoor training ground, here, there is an assembly hall, an assembly hall that can accommodate 2,000 people, it is spacious enough."

There is plenty of space inside the city, so you can plan it as you like.

The castle's original forts had been destroyed, and now he had to reinstall them. On each floor of the castle, in every direction, it is necessary to install turrets, as well as heavy machine guns, which do not need to be too many, but must ensure that they can be protected from attacks from any direction in all directions.

"The battery can attack large targets in the distance, fifteen are almost enough, and twenty heavy machine guns are enough to defend against a large number of infantry that may appear......"

In addition to defense facilities, living facilities should also be considered.

"There has to be electricity! There's a generator for sure, pull the wires, install the light bulbs, and never have to light the oil lamp again......"

These days, Zhuo Shijie endures the dim little oil lamp every night, which is really annoying, with the electric light, the whole castle will be a bright place.

All these plans can only be built by Anne step by step after the Spaniards have been driven out.

Anne has so much work that she can't be idle all day long, not only participating in battles, but also building all kinds of weapons and equipment all the time, and she can't be seen every day.

This morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Lao Liu came to knock on Zhuo Shijie's door.

"Commander, go and take a look, we have a few more big guys!" Liu Laoliu's face was full of joy.

Zhuo Shijie immediately understood that Anne had already built the personnel carrier.

In the open space outside the castle, six green armored personnel carriers lined up in a neat row.

Whether it was a recruit or a veteran, they all gathered in front of the personnel carrier, feeling the cold body, not knowing what kind of new equipment it was.

Instructor Jack gave the soldiers a rare leave of absence, allowing them to look around the personnel carriers at will.

"Instructor, are these also tanks?"

On top of the personnel carrier, there was a heavy machine gun, and the soldiers thought it was also a tank.

"This is a troop carrier, as the name suggests, you no longer have to walk on foot when you go on long journeys, you can sit in this troop until you reach the battlefield."

The soldiers' eyes widened, this was actually a car!

When marching to war, generally speaking, either on horseback or on foot, most soldiers did not have the opportunity to ride horses, so the march relied on a pair of legs.

Now, with these cars, they can sit in the cars and rush to the battlefield in a leisurely manner, and when they arrive on the battlefield, they have already nourished their spirits, instead of being sleepy and tired, so that their combat effectiveness is guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Jack opened the back door for the soldiers to see.

"You see, when you are marching, you can sit in it, there is food and drink in it, and there is nothing missing, and if you close the iron gate, the cannons will not blow you up!"

The soldiers were all amazed, and they touched the thick steel body, and they couldn't stop sighing in amazement.

"Good boy! That's great! You see, how thick this steel plate is! Not to mention muskets, even if it's a cannon, uh, I'm talking about enemy artillery, even if it's a cannon, it won't blow it up! ”

"It's so safe to stay in here! Haha, even if thousands of troops surround us, they can't do anything about us! ”

"There's a machine gun on it! I've seen the power of the machine gun, and when I pull the trigger, the bullet is like rain, and no matter how many enemies there are, I can't resist it! ”

After Zhuo Shijie saw these troop carriers, he was also very satisfied, after the modification of the troop transport, in addition to the two drivers, the car can carry eight people, that is, a car can carry a total of ten people.

Due to its smaller size, it is more agile, adaptable and capable of off-road than the prototype M3 personnel carrier.

Zhuo Shijie immediately selected twelve soldiers who were more agile than him, and asked Andre to train them intensively, and the training program was vehicle driving skills.

"You don't need to memorize a lot of road signs, you don't need to think about red lights, green lights, just keep the car steady, three days should be enough, right? After three days, I will personally assess, if I can't learn this, see if I don't let Instructor Jack practice to death you! Zhuo Shijie gave the death order to these twelve soldiers.
