Chapter VIII Escort Training
At the military training ground, hundreds of people are training in platoons. After a month of basic training, the guards entered the formal training stage, and they already had the appearance of soldiers in their gestures under the whip of the genetic instructor. Adequate food supplies and abundant nutrition make them look strong and able to cope with the heavy daily training load.
Mauser rifles have been issued to the team members, it is not that Lu Liang cannot provide more advanced weapons, the steel base can not only produce Mauser rifles, semi-automatic weapons, automatic rifles, and even more advanced science fiction weapons can be provided, and the base stores the scientific and technological achievements of mankind until 2200 years, and can also be produced. Lu Liang ordered the base to produce an AK47 rifle to enjoy himself, but advanced weapons could not be popularized.
Lu Yi introduced that the output of the steel base is limited, and when Lu Liang's army reaches a certain size, it is impossible to rely only on the supply of the base, because it is impossible for the base to produce only one kind of weapon, and the materials needed for modern warfare are massive and varied. Taking automatic weapons as an example, if the base fully produces AK47 rifles, the output can reach 100,000 units a month, and the ammunition can reach 100 million rounds, but the army cannot only need one weapon, machine guns? Do you want a cannon? Do you want a vehicle? It's good to say now that the convoy is only a hundred people, but what about later? Could it be that the whole country depends on a base for supply, and without its own steel mills and military factories, the nation will not really rise. And with the quality of the current soldier, he can't drive it if he is given a T34.
After the guns were issued, the team members entered the stage of shooting training and tactical training, and what was very different from this era was that Lu Liang provided enough ammunition to squander. There was a shooting training ground on the hill to the south of the barracks, and the low rolling hills and jungles muffled the sound of shooting, and the sound of rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns firing was continuous, regardless of the consumption of bullets and the wear and tear of firearms. In fact, according to the number of people, Lu Liang's 100-person escort team is nothing at all, and the local clans in Guangdong are powerful and the people are fierce, and there are often armed fights between clans. According to Wu Shimin, his family has more than 300 young people with guns, and if there is something, he can gather 3,000 young people in a short time, of course, there are not so many guns, buying guns has always been a troublesome matter, and it is too expensive.
Regardless of the official face of the entire Huizhou region, the local landlords' armed forces alone are not a force to be reckoned with. At this stage, the focus of Lu Liang is development, and he will not act rashly when the foundation is not yet solid, and if he wants to launch, he must have enough strength to sweep the past with an offensive like Mount Tai. The time will not tolerate the presence of those restless elements in the country, but now is not a good time to address them.
In order to speed up the development, the second group of convoys has already been drafted and is undergoing basic training, still a hundred, called directly from the countryside, to prevent the presence of the forces of landlords and squires in the army. At this stage, having the strength of two hundred people can only be regarded as self-preservation, and others can't say anything, but if you calculate according to the firepower, the sum of the entire Huizhou is not as good as these two hundred, not to mention that there are also a hundred genetic human warriors, they are the real killers.
In 1895, Yuan Shikai recruited Xu Shichang, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and other henchmen to formally train troops at the Tianjin station, and the historical losses of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army in China were Li Hongzhang's Huai army, Song Qing, Nie Shicheng, Dong Fuxiang and other armies were defeated, and Yuan Shikai's new army was expanded. Later, in 1903, the Qing court reformed the military system and eliminated the green battalion to train the new army. The model adopted by Lu Liang is destined not to have too many enemies in the early stage, local forces will be enveloped, and military forces are hidden in the form of guards, so that they can gain as much time for development as possible and lay a solid foundation. The existence of the steel base makes it do not have to rely on external forces, sneaky development, mining vehicles from the seabed to collect resources, from minerals to energy, the sea is a treasure trove, the technology of the twenty-second century ensures the use of the seabed by the base, and the base itself can produce all the industrial machinery needed, as long as it is ahead of the times so little, not too much, too powerful technology is easy to cause the outside world to covet, in the weak or not too public.
With the shelves of factories and armies erected, the next thing that needs to be paid attention to is education. The requirements for the quality of workers in light industry are still a little lower, and most of the technical work is in charge of genetic people, but this can only cope with a while, and when the scale expands and heavy industry begins to develop, it must be supported by real talents. A school for workers is being built near the Ziqiang Cotton Mill, and according to the regulations, skilled workers will enjoy more and better treatment, and all workers will be forced to undergo cultural studies, and those who do not meet the standards will be deducted from their salaries. A variety of mandatory or voluntary means make the learning atmosphere of self-improvement cotton yarn factory become a common practice. The workers who come in at the same time, or the same village, and the unskilled workers get half the salary less than those who have learned the technology, is it a shame?
The workers' school uses the basic teaching materials provided by the base, and first solves the problem of literacy, and then talks about other things. The literacy rate in this era was too low, and Lu Liang needed talents who could support the steel building, not simple coolies.
According to the replacement agreement, nearly half of the Wu family's land was transferred to Lu Liang's name, and in exchange for a large number of shares of light industry enterprises that were still on the plan. Seeing that Wu Shimin took out the land without hesitation after seeing the cash cow-like self-improvement cotton yarn production, Lu Liang could plan on this land according to his own ideas. The second and third mills are under construction, a flour mill and a printing and dyeing mill, respectively, the wheat needed by the flour mill is imported from the north, and the chemicals needed by the printing and dyeing mill are temporarily obtained from the base. Most of the 5,000 newly recruited workers were from tenants who had been newly assigned to Lu Liang, and some of them were also nearby peasants, who were too many and too willing to work. After the construction of the plant is completed and the training of workers is completed, the machine can be installed and debugged, and the construction speed is amazing!
For Lv Liang, there is no shortage of funds, no shortage of machinery, no shortage of land, all the factors restricting the construction of the factory do not exist, it can be said that the steel base is a great plug-in, thanks to those who made the decision of later generations and scientists! From the point of view of the sales of self-strengthening cotton yarn mills, because the cost is extremely low, the products can compete with similar products at a lower price, so the sales situation is very optimistic, far from reaching the point of saturation, the products are only spread out in individual places in Guangdong, and there are large blank markets waiting to be occupied. It's not that there is no market in this era, it's that there is a lack of businesses.
Wu Shimin came back with a stack of agreements, and through the exchange, Lü Liang firmly tied these big landlords together, and one-fifth of the cultivated land in the whole of Huizhou went into Lü Liang's name. Those squires will benefit handsomely from a large number of factories, but they will not realize that Lü Liang is transforming in this way, a large amount of land comes into his name, and reforms are carried out in various ways, and finally forms the basis of the business of the lower classes of society.
