Mune, numb, and almost soulless, this is Yang Chao's first impression of these soldiers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Strong, tall, all of them are Shandong big men, this is Yang Chao's second impression of these soldiers.

Whether it is a British or a German, the requirements for recruiting Hua Yong are very high, between the ages of 19 and 24, the average height is five feet seven inches, the chest circumference is thirty-five inches, and the height of one meter seven is not short in the West in this era.

After seeing these soldiers one by one, Yang Chao didn't say anything, just showed a kind smile and expressed kindness.

The next day was the theme, and Yang Chao began to watch the training of these soldiers.

To be honest, the training of these soldiers is still very strict, and the weapons and equipment are also excellent, except for the lack of artillery, machine guns, rifles and grenades are complete, and they are all exactly the same equipment as the German army, and the war horses are also tall European war horses.

It's just the Germanization of the officers, and the German-style password makes these soldiers not understand it at all, but over time, under the stick, and there are interpreters who followed it for a period of time at the beginning, the soldiers can also distinguish the meaning of the simple password, but daily communication is impossible, of course, these German officers have no meaning of communication at all, they are completely trained to cope with errands, and after training, they each drill into their own circles, and these Chinese soldiers do not seem to be people of the same world.

Yang Chao even suspected that until now, I am afraid that most soldiers do not know the names of their officers, and their officers are absolutely impossible to remember what the soldiers' surnames are, which is simply inconceivable for an army that has been formed for more than a year.

On the playground, there are those who practice target shooting, some conduct queue training, and there are those who charge in a row on horseback, and the German officer corps has a strict division of labor, and trains in strict accordance with the training plan, and Yang Chao has no room for criticism in training, because he is a professional, and even if there is a problem, it is not something that he, a layman, can see.

At the end of the training, each soldier was exhausted, dragging his tired body to eat, bathe, and then go to rest.

Their daily schedule is like this, day after day, military actions have actually formed muscle memory, in terms of tactical literacy alone, these soldiers are estimated to be first-class in China, but if they really pull down the battlefield, Yang Chao believes that most of them will be deserters.

But today the soldiers' schedules were different, they had just entered the barracks, they had just laid down on their beds, and suddenly the advisor they had seen yesterday came and brought them some hot soup.

That's right, these are specially approved hot soups, but they are simple sweet soups, a few frangipani with some sugar, and Yang Chao specially asked the governor to order the canteen to make them.

"Come on, brothers, it's been a hard day of training, and I'm resting after drinking soup."

Although they have eaten enough, but for eating, the Chinese of this era are not very able to refuse, the memory of hunger is deep in the bone marrow, which one has not experienced starvation, especially the taste of egg flowers in the hot soup, the sweet and greasy aroma mixed with sugar water, immediately made several people can't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing that no one was moving, Yang Chao casually scooped a bowl from the big bucket beside him, walked to a bed next to him casually, and handed it to the stunned soldier with a smile.

The soldier took the hot soup and didn't know what to say.

Yang Chao smiled, and at this time, he saw that the soldiers in the bed next to him were looking at him, and patted the shoulder of a soldier next to him.

"What are you doing stupidly, go and serve yourself a bowl."

The soldier smiled innocently, ran to fill a bowl, and drank it back to his bed as he went.

Seeing that a bucket of soup was eaten by everyone, Yang Chao just briefly chatted with the soldiers, asked about the family routine, told some about the situation of the family, and then went to the next barracks.

For several days, every day Yang Chao would send a bucket of soup to the soldiers in the barracks, and he walked through each barracks, and slowly became familiar with these soldiers.

These are all small favors, but in just a few days, the soldiers' attitude towards Yang Chao is as warm as a relative.

It's just that the German company commander Werner Mawakhovsky has always been unapologetic to Yang Chao, and basically can't say a word except for work contacts.

But he is now the commander of Huayong Company, how can he watch this army rot, but he really has no confidence in this, so he will choose to let it go.

"Mr. Yang, what exactly do you want to do? Just rely on such small favors every day to buy Chinese soldiers? ”

After sending hot soup for a week, Company Commander Werner couldn't help it, and asked Yang Chao directly this day.

"Little favor and little favor?"

Yang Chao sneered.

Captain Werner said, "Isn't it?" ”

Yang Chao shook his head and sighed: "Do you really think these Chinese soldiers want to take advantage of that little advantage?" You're wrong! They value the respect I have for them. ”

After Yang Chao finished speaking, Captain Werner sneered.

Yang Chao looked at his back with some doubts, since he arrived here, this German company commander has always been hostile, and he felt that he was threatening his position.

Captain Werner's background Yang Chao has already understood, he is a serious German officer, but unlike Falkenhayne, he was born in a professional class, he did not go to a military school, he completely climbed up step by step from the bottom company, started from the infantry, served in many places, and fought with the black uncles in the German colonies of Black Africa.

It's just that he is not German, but born in Poland, and his educational background is relatively low, he has only gone to middle school, and he has not yet graduated, so he has been promoted slowly, and he has only been promoted to captain for ten years, and he has not changed for more than three years.

Obviously, this Pole regarded this company as the capital for his promotion, so he was not happy with Yang Chao's interference, and was very resistant to the governor's arrangement of Yang Chao as Huayong's adviser.

"You look at these officers, how do you get them to respect the soldiers?"

Captain Werner gestured to the officers who were training the soldiers, all with tense faces and whips in their hands.

Yang Chao said: "Maybe they are not needed in the army. ”

Captain Werner said, "You mean to abolish the junior officers? ”

Yang Chao nodded.

Werner sneered: "It's not for you to decide, the German government attaches great importance to the Huayong Company, so the officers are directly equipped to the grassroots level, and the staff believes that the combat effectiveness of such an army is definitely stronger than the Huayong Battalion, which the British only set up company officers." The abolition of junior officers is a matter that can only be decided by the Army General Staff, and the Governor has no power to decide. ”

The German government did attach great importance to this army, and the result of this attention was the opposite.

Yang Chao sighed: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, the top priority is to find those soldiers who fled home first." ”

Captain Werner was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Yang Chao suspiciously.

Can those people really be recovered?
