Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Truck Modification Program

A month later, the training work of the boot camp has been on the right track, and Li Changcheng, as the battalion commander of the boot camp, has one word all day long: busy! Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin are very idle now, so the two of them decided to plan the future troop establishment.

In the past, their plan was to expand the number of soldiers in the four squadrons, so that they would become four squadrons, and then Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin would become the leaders of the brigade. It now appears that the plan is behind schedule and needs to be re-planned.

In the new plan of the two of them, they will have to recruit new recruits one after another, and a total of two or three thousand people will need to be recruited to meet the staffing of the military district of the base. In this way, all the soldiers can be divided into four regimental units.

The leaders of each squad served as the leaders of the four regimental units, and Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin became the commanders of the entire army. If there is a chance to continue to expand their troops in the future, their base will also need to be expanded, and that will be a long time later.

The two of them made a list of the current members of each squad and discussed a general plan: needless to say, the positions of the four regiment commanders and deputy regiment commanders were also listed. However, after all the team members were arranged, there were still some vacancies for officer positions above the company level.

In this way, it is necessary to choose among the existing recruits, so Cheng Lei found Li Changcheng and asked him to pay attention to finding people with leadership skills among the recruits, so that he will not be blind when he wants to use them in the future.

Now Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin are quite excited, and they are even more energetic when they think that they will soon have an army of thousands of people, and this is what they have fought step by step in this world.

Cheng Lei specially asked Xing Chenghui to buy him a batch of brand-new single-shot rifles from the big cities in the west, and now there are very few automatic rifles in this world, so the easy-to-use single-shot rifles are the best choice. These single-shot rifles are produced by the largest weapons factory in the Liege Federation, and use the world's advanced technology, so the performance of the guns is very good.

It is not enough for the recruits to train physical fitness and discipline, they also need to be trained in rich shooting training and fighting, as well as various skills, in order to barely become qualified recruits in Cheng Lei's heart. As for how to become a qualified soldier, it will have to wait until they are assigned to each squad and the squad leaders will conduct various training and assessments for them.

Because shooting training requires a lot of bullets, Cheng Lei didn't hesitate to let Xing Chenghui buy him a lot of bullets. In terms of rifles and bullets alone, Cheng Lei paid thousands of Jin Weike, such a large sum is incomparable to the leaders of all armies.

Li Changcheng put his daily physical and technical training in an open field outside the training ground, and the training ground was converted into a shooting range. Every day, half of the recruits are trained at the range, and they are tested every other day. The mood of all the recruits was very depressed, as if a huge shadow hung over their heads.

And the initiator of this huge shadow is Li Changcheng, looking at Li Changcheng, who is busy on the training ground all day from morning to night, and has to get up regularly at night to call the recruits to urgently gather to exercise emergency response capabilities, Cheng Lei can't help but feel a little distressed.

This kid is only 26 years old this year, and after graduating from the military academy, he served as a platoon commander in a reconnaissance company for two years, a deputy company commander for one year, and then entered the Lion King squadron after passing the assessment. The originally white face is now tanned and red, and the whole person has lost a whole circle of weight in these days.

However, looking at Li Changcheng's mental outlook, he still has a very good outlook, and he walks with a vigorous demeanor, and he has the demeanor of a high-ranking officer in the army. This is Cheng Lei from the lion king team to bring Li Changcheng out, first training those captive soldiers, Li Changcheng was extremely unhappy at that time.

But even if he was unhappy, Li Changcheng resolutely carried out the order. The strength of the current Cheetah squad members has improved by leaps and bounds, and they can at least reach the level of more than eighty percent of the veteran members of other squads. Among them, there are two of the strongest, even Cheng Lei himself does not dare to say that he can win.

Li Changcheng is now the captain of the cheetah team, and if there are no accidents in the future, he will become the leader of a group, which Cheng Lei is very happy to see. It is not impossible for Li Changcheng to surpass other squad leaders in the future and become the person Cheng Lei relies on the most.

Xing Chenghui suddenly sent someone to invite Cheng Lei on this day, saying that there was something particularly important, so Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin took the command car to Dongcheng together. is still that silent street, or that gorgeous gate, and now Cheng Lei has become a frequent visitor here.

When they arrived at the meeting room, Xing Chenghui stood at the door to greet them, and after both sides sat down, Xing Chenghui said the important things he said. It turned out that the trucks had already been transported to the east gate of Yinta City, and now they were just waiting for Cheng Lei to speak, where to transport these trucks. Because Zheng Bin didn't know Cheng Lei's thoughts, whether he wanted to transport the truck to the base or go directly into the city.

Cheng Lei was overjoyed when he heard the news, and finally waited for the truck after waiting for so long. During this time, Xing Chenghui's caravan would bring a lot of gasoline back to Cheng Lei when they returned to the city, and it would be as usual in the future, so the gasoline in their camp was completely sufficient.

Cheng Lei really has a feeling that everything is ready and only owes the east wind these days, and now that the east wind has arrived, it is time for them to take action. He asked Xing Chenghui to pull all the trucks to the camp of the Lion King squadron, and then immediately asked Zheng Bin to go to Duke Duozan to invite all the craftsmen from the Nancheng Foundry back.

Xing Chenghui took Cheng Lei to the gate of the East City, and what caught Cheng Lei's eyes was a large black truck pulled by some pack animals. These trucks are more than one and a half times the size of the military trucks of the previous world, and they are bulky but durable.

Xing Chenghui quoted a price to Cheng Lei, 800 Golden Victor, and Cheng Lei agreed without thinking. This made Xing Chenghui regret a little whether the price was low, but after thinking about it, Cheng Lei gave him half of the cement sales right, compared to these trucks, which are just a small amount of money, not worth mentioning at all, so he was relieved.

In fact, don't say it's 800 gold victors, even if it's 8,000 gold victors, Cheng Lei gritted his teeth and wanted to buy these trucks. Because there is no automobile factory in the Scorching Sun Federation, except for Xing Chenghui, Cheng Lei has really never heard of anyone else going to trade in the West.

When he returned to the camp, Zheng Bin had already brought back the craftsmen and the equipment that Duke Duozan had promised at the beginning. Cheng Lei immediately ordered all the recruits to stop training, and he wanted to sort out the vacant land north of the camp and build sheds to park the trucks.

More than 500 young and vigorous recruits spent an afternoon building standard and bright truck sheds. After the trucks were put into storage, Cheng Lei also asked people to add a gate to the outside of these sheds and sent two sentries to stand guard at the door.

In the headquarters, Zheng Bin was very puzzled by Cheng Lei's behavior: "Old Cheng, are these trucks more valuable than our chariots, why do you have to send someone to watch them?" ”

Cheng Lei smiled and took out a piece of paper, which was messy, Zheng Bin took a closer look, and it was actually a detailed drawing of a modified truck. It turns out that Cheng Lei wants to transform these trucks into tanks!

How is it possible to convert a truck into a tank? Cheng Lei explained to Zheng Bin that his inspiration came from the previous reports of Mexican drug lords converting trucks into tanks when he watched the news, and there are also examples of terrorists in the Middle East using modified trucks as armored vehicles.

From this, Cheng Lei thought about why he couldn't convert a truck into a tank? So I used some free time to sketch out this sketch, and it has been refined over time. Now that the trucks have arrived, if the transformation can achieve the desired effect of Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei will personally go to the West to buy a batch of trucks and other things needed in large quantities.

In fact, what Cheng Lei hopes most is to recruit a group of talents who understand various advanced technologies to come back, of course, advanced production equipment is also indispensable. When they have their own ability to produce cars and various equipment, Cheng Lei is confident that they will be able to create an armored force that surpasses this world.

At that time, who else can doubt their strength? I'm afraid that the whole Eastern world will be respected by them, but it is too early to think about this.

Cheng Lei gave a lecture to the craftsmen who came from the Nancheng Foundry Workshop, of course, to let them work here with peace of mind, and after the construction of the base is completed, they will be the backbone of the Lion King Base Arsenal. And Cheng Lei also announced that they would increase their wages to double the salary paid by Duke Dozan, and that they would have family leave every month.

As soon as so many temptation conditions came out, those craftsmen were naturally ecstatic, and they were very energetic in their work. The leader of these craftsmen is named Yang Jishan, a native of Yinta City, and most of these craftsmen are also natives of Yinta City, just like him.

Yang Jishan looked at the truck transformation drawings given to him by Cheng Lei, and then carefully observed the structure of the truck. Then he told Cheng Lei to let them try, there should be no problem.

Cheng Lei's drawings required that the entire exposed truck compartment be closed and then added thick steel plates, as well as steel plates on both sides of the car tires, which was a bulletproof modification. There is also the installation of a mobile turret above the roof, the opening of shooting holes around the hull, and so on. Cheng Lei asked all craftsmen to transform a car first, and then transform all the cars after success.
