Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Academy

After the last night talk, but seven days have passed, Yuan Shikai sent a group of instructors to Wang Bin, these instructors are all drawn from the Army Accelerated Academy, this time responsible for serving as the instructors of the Fifth Town Suitang School Battalion, and improving the basic quality of the officers below.

Just having great tactical ideas but not corresponding basic qualities makes such officers unqualified in Wang Bin's view.

Moreover, Wang Bin also put forward some requirements for these instructors for the quality of these basics.

First of all, it is necessary to correct some of the habitual thinking of these lower-level officers, and they cannot just blindly obey the orders from above, but once they cannot get orders from above when they are about to fight, they must learn to change their thinking, so Wang Bin needs the lower-level officers to understand certain changes.

The second is that although he has now promoted literacy in the Fifth Town, especially the lower-level officers, who can barely recognize words under Wang Bin's requirements, it is useless to just know words.

To give a simple example: during the war, a literate junior officer wants to lead his team to a certain place, but it is useless to just recognize the words, and he can't read the map, even if the officer is literate but can't read the map, it is impossible to reach the destination in time.

Therefore, the second point is to require lower-level officers to know a certain amount of surveying and mapping techniques and topographies on the basis of literacy, and the requirements are not too high to be able to understand maps.

This third point is still related to tactics, the tactics proposed by Wang Bin before are some tactics that need to be coordinated, and the tactics that have not yet appeared in this era but will become mainstream in the near future, these tactics proposed by Wang Bin are all viewed from the general direction.

As for how to correct this problem, these instructors should supplement some of the mainstream tactics and tactics of the era to the lower-level officers in their regular classes, and also ask the lower-level officers to understand some of the military systems of foreign armies.

The last point, which is also extremely important, is focused on different aspects depending on the officer's function.

For example, the officers of the baggage battalion focused on military combat service, the officers of the infantry battalion mainly studied field drill planning, and the artillery officers strengthened their arithmetic and surveying and mapping.

In Wang Bin's opinion, such a course can be regarded as relatively perfect.

As for the future development and expansion of the Suiying Academy, we can only wait for later, at least for now, this is enough to meet the needs of the fifth town.

At this moment, in Wang Bin's office, Li Changtai, who was sitting in front of Wang Bin, said to Wang Bin

"My lord, the vocational department has built the school according to your requirements."

Wang Bin was still curious about how Li Changtai came to his office today, it turned out to be for this matter.

In Wang Bin's opinion, although this Li Changtai was not originally from the Fifth Town, he was transferred from outside the Guanwai during the later expansion.

Some of Li Changtai's actions Wang Bin also saw in his eyes, in general, Li Changtai has no big ambitions, but there is one thing that Wang Bin appreciates very much, he will never do any tricks if he is down-to-earth, to put it bluntly, he is actually a little honest, and it is precisely because of this that Li Changtai was kicked out of the Guan, after all, how can a simple person know how to flatter the officials, so Li Changtai, who is now not confused, is still just a pipe band.

In general, Wang Bin is still relatively relieved about Li Changtai.

Although Li Changtai only became a battalion leader at a young age, he was not jealous that Wang Bin in front of him became the commander of a town when he was only twenty-five years old.

After Li Changtai told Wang Bin that the school was built, Wang Bin said

"Oh, it's okay so soon, it's a bit unexpected."

Originally, this school was to use the conference room, and whenever Wang Bin had time, he would be anxious for the officer to give a lecture, but now that the class is about to start officially, it can't be too casual, so a few days ago Wang Bin asked Li Changtai's engineering battalion to find another place in the barracks and build a school.

I thought it would take some time to rebuild a school, but in Wang Bin's opinion, it would take a while to select the site and foundation, but he himself forgot that in this era, it was just a school to build, and it was not a factory, so why spend so much time.

So after listening to Li Changtai say that the school was built, except for some surprise when he heard the news, Wang Bin immediately decided to go to see the school with Li Changtai.

After Li Changtai came to the southeast of the barracks, Wang Bin saw that there was a simple house here, the whole house was made of bricks and stones, and the school was divided into four parts, a teacher's office and three classrooms.

After reading it, Wang Bin felt that although this school was a little shabby, it was still enough for now.

The rest is the question of when the class will start, and Wang Bin has also considered the official start of the class after three days, and in these three days, let these instructors familiarize themselves with the environment here.

As for the salaries of the instructors, they did not make any changes to their salaries in the crash school before, and Wang Bin also preliminarily set the time for classes, mainly to use the free time of these officers.

So the time of the class was set at night, so that many officers still have time to go to class, training during the day and attending classes at night to make full use of the time, and in order to prevent some officers from not coming to class at night, Wang Bin also deliberately introduced the method of roll call, to prevent some officers from not wanting to come at night, but to hang out in the city, as for going to the city at night to hang out, it is nothing more than a place for some fireworks.

Now that Wang Bin has inspected this school, and has decided on the method and content of the class, Zengqi in Xinmin Mansion is a little unable to sit still.

With the current war situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the war will be stalemate in Liaoyang and Lushun, and once the war is stalemate in Liaoyang, this Zengqi can no longer do it.

The geographical location of Xinmin Mansion is now actually on the edge of the battlefield, although Zengqi has reorganized a lot of patrol battalions before, but these patrol battalions are also some shelves that are useless and have no combat effectiveness, and Zengqi himself knows this.

No matter whether it is the current or future direction of the war, the war will not burn to Zengqi's Xinmin Mansion, but Zengqi himself is weak-hearted, for fear that he will be beaten one day.

Just when Zengqi was still thinking about how to protect himself, he remembered that Wang Bin's fifth town was in Jinzhou.

So Zeng Qi couldn't care much anymore, no matter what the Japanese and Russians thought of the Xinmin garrison, anyway, his own net worth and life were the most important, so Zeng Qi immediately ordered Wang Bin's Fifth Town to send part of the army to be stationed in Xinmin Mansion, so that he could be a little safe, so as to satisfy his sense of security.
