In the evening, Qin Lieping and Xu Ming did not go back, and found a hotel to talk all night.

"Brother Qin, what do you think of my training plan?" Xu Ming was a little proud, but this was a combination of his reference to the training of later generations and the Japanese army.

Qin Lieping closed the text, he was already determined to join Xu Ming's subordinates at this time, and he had no scruples about speaking. "The plan is very good, very modern!"

He used the word modern. Sure enough, Qin Lieping then pointed out the weaknesses one by one. "First: you don't have stabbing training, you are completely Western military thinking, but China will not work, and the firepower will not keep up. I suggest that the priority of stabbing training is only below shooting, above throwing! “

"Second, there is too little training in the field, Commander Xu, you are afraid that your soldiers will not be able to stand it. The troops of the Red Army were able to march more than 100 miles in a hurry, and even had extremes of 150 and 200 miles. This will work when it matters! “

Xu Ming was a little worried about this, "I'm afraid that they will be too bitter and people will run away."

"It's better to run now than on the battlefield. As long as the officers and soldiers are equal, it is not a big problem for the body to keep up. Qin Lieping gave Xu Ming a reassurance.

"Thirdly, the receptivity of the soldier is overestimated by you. Your training method is to start with theory, then demonstrate and then assess. That's right. But it was difficult for our soldiers to accept the theory. You know, I'm from the 7th Infantry Section, and I used to want to teach myself artillery courses, but it was very difficult. I can't do it at the level of education, let alone the big soldiers. ”

"But that's how American soldiers train." In fact, it is not the American soldiers who train like this. It was Stilwell who trained his soldiers in India. But Xu Ming didn't know that the soldiers Stilwell trained at that time were of relatively high quality in Chinese by the National Government, and those people had been soldiers for a long time. Qin Lieping gave him an idea, and the theory class could be taken. But it must be made sure that the soldiers can understand. And it should be repeatedly verified through practice and training. He gave an example, why the mortar benchmarking method and the indirect benchmarking method are equilateral, the distance of the benchmark, the actual placement of the benchmarks according to different terrains, etc., these just theorists absolutely do not understand, he was also pulling the classmates of the artillery department to learn while learning and gradually learning.

Xu Ming looked embarrassed, he still thought how advanced his plan was. Qin Lieping found more than 30 questions! As a result, when he heard it, he felt that Qin Lieping was right, and he had served as an officer in both the Kuomintang and the Communist Army. also received a thorough military education in this era, which is definitely not comparable to his own halfway monk.

Fortunately, in the end, Qin Lieping saved some face. said: "This plan is generally very good, and to be honest, I just graduated from the military academy and can't draw it up." Besides, we still have time, so we can improve it slowly. ”

At first, the two were still a little restrained, but they hit it off at first sight. Qin Lieping doesn't seem to say much, but he is actually a very assertive person with rich experience in military training and soldier education. In terms of prediction and analysis of the current situation, Xu Ming has a lot of views.

"Qianli, you want to resist Japan and save the country, so when do you think the Sino-Japanese war will break out." When it comes to this issue, Qin Lieping is very concerned.

"It depends on two aspects, in Japan, the military must control the government, and now the Japanese cabinet has almost become the follower of the Japanese military department, and they have to complete the preparation of public opinion. At present, Japanese young soldiers and angry youths are refusing to buy, suppress, or even violently suppress newspapers and periodicals that have a friendly attitude toward China. There are not many of these newspapers and periodicals left. At the time of the 918 incident, Professor Tsuchihashi opposed it, and now these remarks have been suppressed.

"Angry youth, what is it called?" , Qin Lieping was a little confused about Xu Ming's creation.

"It's the Japanese radicals, mainly hard-nosed soldiers, who believe that Japan should be the leader of East Asia, and they advocate military means. These people never think about compromise and diplomacy, and their eyes are black and white. Under the banner of patriotism, those who oppose their ideas will be given a traitorous hat, for example, they will call Dr. Tsuchihashi, a famous Japanese professor, a national thief who uses the university as a nest and back-propaganda against China with shallow grounds and ill-intentioned intentions! “

It was late at night, and the two were still talking about sex, but in fact, Qin Lieping was also a little angry. In his opinion, China must arrive and make Japanese goods! Or 100 percent heavy taxes! Diplomatic severance of diplomatic relations with Japan! Then the Central Army entered Hebei. Resolutely resist Japanese aggression!

Xu Ming is relatively mild. For example, Xu Ming believed that the arrival and production of Japanese goods would not be of much help in stopping Japanese aggression, and Xu Ming even proposed that he should find ways to cultivate some pro-China forces in Japan and compensate them with some economic benefits. As for the entry of the Central Army into Hebei, Xu Ming was afraid that a premature large-scale engagement would be detrimental to China.

"After all, Japan is only a small country, and once a full-scale war with us starts, little Japan will support it for a year and a half at most." Qin Lieping gave examples of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. In the latter part of the war, Japan's domestic economy suffered serious problems. If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty and Russia, it would have been Japan that couldn't support it. This also represents the thinking of many patriotic young people at that time, believing that China is a big country and there is no need to be afraid of Japan at all.

Xu Ming disagreed. There is no absolute relationship between the strength of a country and its land and population, and Japan can no longer be considered a small Japan. Since the acquisition of Tohoku, Japan's coal and iron resources have been greatly enhanced, and the four northeastern provinces have been able to provide grain and various non-staple foods for industrialized Japan. Speaking of which, both of them sighed for the non-resistance of the Northeast Army in the 918 Incident.

Although Qin Lieping's thinking was radical, his patriotic feelings Xu Ming appreciated very much. And the former is more and more impressed by the latter's vision and mind. Before you know it, the two begin to talk about lifelong events.

Speaking of this, Qin Lieping's face was gloomy and he looked at his legs.

Xu Ming didn't really want to uncover Qin Lieping's scar, and after confirming that his leg was broken and not the cause of illness, Xu Ming told him with confidence that this could definitely be cured, and basically there would be no future troubles!

"It's just that the surgery may be a little painful," Xu Ming remembers that this will first reintegrate the deformed leg bones.

Qin Lieping's eyes immediately glowed. He seemed to see that his life was about to change. He lives like a normal person, not just a normal person, not just alive, but to make a career. His mother's eyes had been healed, and her gaze was no longer worried and worried, but full of relief.

Suddenly, Xu Mingmi's eyes fell on the table. At this time, the rooster announced in the distance, the night has passed, and a new day is about to begin!

On September 7, Xu Ming flew again. He left 50,000 silver dollars for Qin Lieping as other people's settlement expenses. Although Xu Ming spent a lot of money on going to Sichuan this time, he was also very tired. But he felt he had found the piece of the puzzle he needed to succeed.

It had been nearly ten days since he left, and as soon as Xu Ming returned to the camp, he immediately summoned Qiu Linfeng. Can't wait to ask:

"Xiao Qiu, have you found any problems in the current training of the troops? Are there any bandits harassing on Siming Mountain or others? “

As a result, Qiu Linfeng reported a few things that made him cry and laugh. The first is the troops, Xiao Qiu found that every day at lunch and dinner time, many people gather outside the barracks. Qiu Linfeng checked, it turned out that the army had meat dishes on a single day, and many people in the army were reluctant to eat them and bring them to their families.

"Brother Xu, well... Commander, I wanted to stop it. But one comrade told me that his son had not eaten meat since he was born! When I heard it, I didn't know what to do, and I wanted you to come back and deal with it. “

Xu Ming thought about it, he also felt very sorry for those poor military families, but it was very important for the troops to strengthen their nutrition. This is not a negotiable matter.

"After the meal, it is not allowed to be taken out of the canteen, except for sentries and chartered soldiers, and a case of deducting half a month's military salary was found. In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Xiaoqiu, you arranged, prepare 20 catties of meat, 10 catties of vegetable oil, and 5 yuan for each soldier. “

"There's another question, it's about the bandits in Siming Mountain." Qiu Linfeng's expression was a little strange, and he seemed to be smiling.

"What the problem". Xu Ming was a little surprised.

"That's right, the bandits in Siming Mountain have 4 leaders, and the surname of the big boss is Wu, who calls himself Wu Zhenxiang! Let people hint at it! “

"What do you mean, do you still want me to collect protection money!" Xu Ming was furious.

"No," Xiao Qiu grinned, instead they wanted to pay tribute! The person who came hinted that as long as our troops can get along with them amicably, they are willing to contribute 5,000 oceans every year!

Xu Ming was amused, that Wu Da boss really thought that Xu Ming was here to make money, if he knew that Xu Ming had spent more than 500,000 yuan on this army in the past two months. I don't know how he feels.

"There is another matter, the county magistrate Liu said that he would establish a committee to eradicate the Communist Party and let you participate."

"What a mess, this kind of thing will be rejected in the future!"

Xiao Qiu is also worried that there is something wrong. "Or, you put on a name."

Xu Ming remembered Qin Lieping and shook his head, "You tell County Magistrate Liu tomorrow and directly say that I won't fight a civil war, and emphasize to him that after my troops are trained, they can be responsible for clearing out the bandits in Qiyang, and they will be implemented in six months!" "No," he corrected again, "I can't say that I don't fight a civil war, I can't say that, just say that my troops have just started training and can't eradicate the Communists." “

On September 22, at Changsha Station, the exit was full of anxiously waiting crowds. Xu Ming looked at his watch, it was already three forty in the afternoon, Qin Lieping and they should be at this point.

Originally, according to Xu Ming's original plan, it was to let them be big guys. At that time, they had to provide various guarantees for flying at that time, because of the legacy of their identity, so they had to enjoy the ancient transportation ships and modern trains on the road.

is still the guard's sharp eyes, "Regiment Commander, Mr. Qin is there." Following the direction of the guard's finger, Qin Lieping and his group of five people were walking through the exit.

Xu Ming hurriedly took Qin Lieping's box, and the rest of his entourage also hurriedly helped. Qin Lieping saw that Xu Ming came to Changsha to greet him in person, and felt that he had not seen the wrong person. said with a smug face, "I said that Brother Qianli will definitely come, what do you think." ”

Qin Lieping brought a total of four people this time. A medium-tall man wearing a brown tunic with a calm face is called Zhao Ren, the word seminary; A tall man with a slightly hoarse voice and a resolute expression called Chen Huizhi; There is also a person named Shangguan Min, who is diligent and has a strong handshake; The last one introduced is Peng Cong, whose words are far-reaching, the smile on his face is very affinity, and his personal image is the best.

Xu Ming scolded the airline first. "In the future, our brothers will become famous and go to the United States to open an airline, and all the Yankees whose ancestors have fought in the American Civil War and killed Indians will not be allowed to sit!"

The crowd laughed. Peng Cong said, "If you are angry, it is best to open a shipping company, and when you get halfway through, ask them whether they eat hob noodles or chaos." Speaking of which, everyone was in a daze.

The sun was about to end when he settled down casually, and Qin Lieping insisted on rushing to Qiyang the next day. Xu Ming insisted on disagreeing, and said: "Brother Qin, I asked someone about your leg, Changsha can treat it, I contacted Xiangya Hospital, which is better than Hunan Public Hospital, and the main surgeon is a foreign doctor!" Chen Huizhi also persuaded: "Lieping, what Captain Xu said is right, your leg will be cured early, and it is not convenient to talk about coaching on crutches." “

Qin Lieping didn't want to heal his body as soon as possible. But if you stay on the hospital bed for a long time as soon as you come up, you can't face Xu Ming's hospitality. In addition, although the five of them came together, they didn't want to fall behind at the beginning. But in the face of everyone's persuasion and Xu Ming's sincere gaze. Qin Lieping raised his wine glass gratefully, didn't say anything, and then drank it in one gulp.

When the wine was full, Xu Ming drank the cup dry in two sips, and he was already stumbling. But he still spoke neatly, "Brother Qin, everyone, I plan to do this, you see that it is feasible." “

Xu Ming's security regiment is a battalion establishment, and he is ready to identify himself as the regiment commander and battalion commander. It is divided into three infantry companies, with three infantry platoons, machine gun platoons and company headquarters. Qin Lieping, Zhao Ren and Shangguan Min served as company commanders; The rest of the engineer platoon, communications squad and baggage department were organized into a special service company, and the company commander was Peng Cong; Finally, Chen Huizhi served as the deputy battalion commander, responsible for the battalion headquarters and the drafting of various orders, military discipline, rewards and punishments, logistics and other matters.

Qin Lieping thought for a while, "During the time I was not in Qiyang, Brother Hui helped me take care of it." In addition, he looked at Chen Huizhi and then at Xu Ming, "The trainees are strict in governing the army, Commander Xu, please see if Comrade Zhao Ren is in charge of military discipline."

Xu Ming looked at Peng Cong, worried that Chen Huizhi was a little unhappy. Chen Huizhi knew Qin Lieping much better than Xu Ming about him. Glared at him. "Lieping, you don't worry about me so much, I'm also a revolutionary youth, you still take care of your legs." He turned his head to Xu Ming and said, "Zhao Ren's training is not just rigorous, it is harsh!" ”
