Chapter 63: Racing the Tank

"Frank, you've had a great start to the lap, it's time to come down - Manpersa! You're up next! ”

Frank squeezed out of the hatch of 59 and climbed out of the body as if freed. As soon as he came out, he immediately took the rubber helmet in his hand and took a breath of fresh air. This thing is really hard to drive, but this cover is too short, and it is almost against the lid for him, which is really uncomfortable.

Why did the Franks drive tanks here? It's spring, and they should have infiltrated the countryside and their hometowns to serve the people. However, will the Bimoon Church not follow the script of the new district and want to stabilize its foothold? No way! Frank didn't go home to watch the Lancas soldiers cross the border, wreak havoc, and even be pulled into the army. If you don't pull you, who will you pull?

Seed students have to apply what they have learned. Those who studied medicine became military doctors, those who studied agricultural technology played with artillery, those who studied agricultural machinery became mechanics or drivers - Frank also had an inexplicable rank on his shoulders, and he was now a corporal of the reserve artillery of the new army of Elta.

Why artillery? Now the 59 is for the use of artillery, and the whole mobile direct fire bunker. First of all, Lancas does not have an armored division, and there is no target that can make armored troops equip, so what armor do the troops need to play the army formation? After a row of guns, I obediently softened, what kind of bicycle do you want? Secondly, the current infantry of the new army is not large enough to get on the handrails of tanks, but there are 63 drivers all over the ground. No way, let's train one by one. This 59 has dismantled the turret and replaced it with a large glass room, in which sit two students and an instructor, the instructor sits in the front, pointing at the country all the time, and is ready to give the driver a kick - you have made a mistake again!

The joystick is no better than the steering wheel. It's hard work and not easy to learn, but Elta's maintenance ability makes it impossible to ask them to wait for a tracked vehicle with a steering wheel. That's why a large number of 59 and 63 will be sent to Elta to use the residual heat, what kind of equipment needs to be adapted to what level of maintenance, even if the rear can provide a steady stream of wearing parts, the mechanics in front must have the corresponding level of replacement of wearing parts. The Elta mechanics, who were only aware of what they were doing, but not the why, were obviously unable to cope with the more advanced and delicate equipment.

Of course, there will also be a number of retired PLA soldiers joining the new army of Elta, the difference between them and the instructors is that the instructors are on active duty and they are retired, with the rank of Elta and Chinese nationality. Specifically, they were no different from the rest of the people who came to Elta to work as foremen and shopkeepers, except that they were hired by the new army of Elta. However, the number of these backbones may be slightly insufficient at the platoon commander and above, and the maintenance work can only be handed over to the Elta natives for specific implementation.

This time, the new area was recruited and expanded by basically infantry. For them, the instructors of the new district did not expect much. Within two months, as long as they could calm their breath in the trenches or foxholes, aim and shoot, they would be victorious. The hit rate is also not considered, what about destroying an enemy with a hundred bullets? It's time to consume consumables.

The professional class is basically no play. Accidentally filling a mortar chamber with two shells in a row is a mistake that all veterans make can destroy a mortar squad at once - despite the mortar reload safety device invented by Big Brother, the instructor still has to repeat this problem many times during training. However, judging from the situation of the Elta construction site, the indigenous people did have to suffer a certain amount of losses in safety production before they understood the importance of the regulations. To put it bluntly, isn't it just a bloody lesson to increase the impression? But when it came to the new army, there were not many opportunities for soldiers to "enhance the impression", because the "impression" of one or two people losing a unit would not outweigh the loss. The gunner, who can remember the shooting table, is even more useless. Literacy and numeracy, this rule has smashed down ninety out of eight Elta people will have no chance with it.

A soldier who plays with a knife makes a mistake and at most cuts off his own hand, while a soldier who uses a gun must take care of his weapon and clean it every day so as not to jam or blow up or hurt people. Soldiers facing artillery must remember the rules, otherwise the shells that should have been sent to the enemy position will explode on their positions, taking them and their comrades with them.

How tight is the manpower? Pippons works as a police officer, and is often poached to the barracks by a phone call to teach recruits some life lessons as a shooting elder. Pippens can shoot at the sky with a 56 before dinner! You can also watch the recruits miss the target in fright due to the sound of gunfire and roars when they aim! The only thing that made him feel sad was that the 56 punch was full of empty cartridges...... I was tricked as a monkey by the instructor.

The mistakes of himself and his comrades, who had been trained by the annoyed instructors and poor maintenance, were not as bearable in his eyes as they had been, and Elta's recruits watched the thunderous yelling of their fellow men, and the sight of him was a stinky face. Although the instructor was as good as a yellow-skinned soldier, he could immediately hit the bull's-eye with his gun raised, and he disassembled and loaded the gun as if by magic—he became exactly like the instructor Pippons remembered, but he didn't realize it. At this time, the instructors respected and feared by the new students were already the same as the Chinese instructors in Pippens's impression, which may be the "inheritance of the spirit"?

In their eyes, when the instructor punishes the students to run around the playground, he will also follow the side and urge the students to move forward together...... When punishing the trainees for training, they also starved with the students and went into the canteen together. Such details are inconspicuous, but they have been incorporated into the core code of Elta's new army, and have become symbols that have been passed down from generation to generation. One of these cadets went on to ascend to the post of Chief of Staff of the Elta Air Force, as he said during his inspection of the rank-and-file level: "No one has ever made me feel taller than the men who taught me tactics and how to use a gun and how to use a gun to drive a flying machine thirty years ago." Pushing back the timeline by 30 years, although Pippons eventually retired as the head of the provincial public security department, his protégé crossed the military and police worlds, and actually became a world-famous quasi-political figure, and later played a pivotal role in Elta's political reform.

"This group of Elta people who first came into contact with China and the new area, except for a few poor eggs who died in battle and fell from horseback, finally became the leader of Elta in all walks of life. This result was probably not expected by any of them at the time. ——Excerpt from the second part of "New Elta Fengyunlu - Personnel Volume", China Social Sciences Press, 2098 edition (fourth revision)

However, at that time, they and even the Elta people of the next level of the new district were still thinking about how to protect their hard-won satiety and happiness under the storm of the Bilunar Church, so that such a life without worrying about food and clothing could continue. After that, I have the opportunity to carry out my dream of climbing to the top of the human resources. The vandalism of the Church of Lancas Bimonthly was illustrated in full in the daily Elta Herald Daily, posted on roadside notices. The already shameless behavior with just the right polish and description - the kind that made Xuanxuan blush, first made the natives frightened by the behavior of the Bimoon Church, and the fear gradually turned into indignation, and the indignation gradually turned into enthusiasm for work and anger against Lancas.

A bunch of American-Chinese style mixed posters also lost no time in pasting on the wall. In addition to the glorious classic design of one person joining the army and the whole family, there is also the type of demonization of the characters of the Church of the Two Moons, as for the design of one of the most famous ones, the bust of Emperor Doniva with a green helmet in the style of the new district, pointing at the person looking at the poster vividly, the following words are - "Iwantyouforu.s.army" and so on Xiao Wu, did you forget to make the layer visible? Send it back for rework! This careless baby...... Here I have to admire the artistic cells of the Yankees, although this picture is plagiarized from the design concept, but it is the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the aborigines, and it can't help but make people laugh.

The recruitment office was decorated with posters in American style and Soviet style, mixed with Chinese style, and put on the "Soviet March" written by RA3 for the Soviet Union, which actually had a wonderful effect. If it weren't for the fact that the first phase of construction in the new district had basically come to an end, the major foremen would have driven excavators and shovels to protest at the enlistment office, what about my workers? Let him finish before he becomes a soldier!

Of course, it's not just these fancy fists that attract the Elta to the new army - these are just the icing on the cake. Guaranteed daily meals with meat and eggs (live photos, no special effects or stunts) and a salary that is barely an order of magnitude compared to that of a worker (increasing according to rank), a one-time allowance after disability and a commitment to a subsistence position, an exclusive shop for family members (discounted and the possibility to buy goods that are not open for purchase outside), a survivors' protection plan and a large one-time allowance after the death of a single person, a separate cemetery......

These are written in the agreement. Like the recruitment agreement, the Doniva seal is neatly stamped. This condition is nothing for a country that is about to embark on the road to industrialization, and to ensure their loyalty, morale and combat cohesion, even adding broadband to the soldiers' quarters is a little trick - if necessary. Japan, which already has a considerable degree of national identity and cultural loyalty, and the current PLA can play the routine of overcoming the actual conditions with mental strength, and Elta, who has not yet awakened the nation, may not be able to. Let them realize that they are defending their homeland, and they can only be regarded as building the city wall with huge stones, and strengthening the dependence of the soldiers on the army with favorable conditions, which is to replace the mortar between the stones of the city wall with cement.

The barracks have also gradually become the new focus of attention for the people of Neelta in the new city. Listening to the sound of killing in the barracks every day, getting up to work has also begun to become a new tradition in the city.
