Sanjie decided to stay, and Yang Yuanzhao also gave different appointments according to their interests, basically according to what he said before, Cai Ye and Zhang Xiaohuai were responsible for strengthening the preparation of the regiment, and this preparatory work began on the same day.

First of all, nearly 60 staff officers were transferred to Cai Yi and others, and the staff officer system was popularized in Baotou, and the staff officers became the richest personnel in the entire army.

The 60 officers who came from the grassroots level, who had served at least as a grassroots officer at the platoon level, and who served in the staff headquarters of at least a regiment or even a division, and who already had the potential to become officers in all aspects, were a great support for Cai Ye, and after he came into contact with these staff officers, he basically determined the five chief officers of the six battalions, and some basic company and platoon configurations, which pulled up the skeleton of the reinforced regiment.

After most of the officers were solved, next, the drivers, the junior non-commissioned officers, and even the gunners, a steady stream of personnel came, 100,000 people, and they were strictly trained, and a few thousand people were selected from the middle, it was simply a no-brainer, 5,000 people almost gathered more than half, and the rest were just some soldiers, and it was easy to solve the problem.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for Yang Yuanzhao to come up with perfect, real mechanized motorized infantry regiment equipment, which requires continued investment and research.

The most basic cars, some rudimentary armored cars (a tin box welded on the outside of the car), and tanks without guns, these can be taken out, driving is first carried out on the car and armored vehicles, as for artillery training, Baotou is not short of various artillery, first replace it with 75 mm guns, complete the basic technical training, while training, while waiting for equipment.

The truly integrated, the equipment that can be equipped to the troops, it will take some time to be able to come up with a finished product. Cai Ye is not in a hurry, it's just that now it's elite enough, he personally felt the armored cars and tanks, especially the latter, the frontal armor, can resist the attack of 75mm howitzers, the limit speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and the usual speed of 30 kilometers, which makes this tank have excellent mobility. The requirements for the terrain are not high, and the full-track chassis can pass no more than 50 degrees of slopes and some uneven places, making him suitable for most of the terrain in almost the whole of China.

These are enough, it has always had the potential to travel thousands of miles a day, and it has quite strong protection capabilities, 75 guns are already the ultimate killer weapons of China, most of them still call machine guns machine guns, the emergence of tanks is enough to change the pattern of the battlefield, at least here in Cai Yi, I didn't think of anything that can deal with tanks, and the cluster coverage of large-caliber artillery, which is just a legendary thing for China, it is impossible to appear.

Compared with Cai Yi, Zhang Xiaohuai felt more clearly that the goal of Baotou never seemed to point to the Chinese army, a little stronger than the Beiyang Army, and could almost deal with the entire Chinese army, 100,000 strictly trained troops, almost able to sweep the world, but Baotou is not satisfied, this so-called real force should be a discussion of the future army setting, all kinds of technical equipment, the target is directly aimed at the powers, and it is the European and American powers.

In this world, in this era, Japan has never been among the first-class armies, especially among the soldiers with the background of studying in Europe and the United States, and it is simply scornful of Japan's military superiority, backward weapons, exaggerated bushido spirit, and white-knuckle warfare, all of which together constitute Japan's characteristics, and these, in the eyes of military experts, are backward and backward.

Pointing out the direction for China's future, abolishing unequal treaties, and truly letting China stand up, this is the idea of countless late Qing wise people, to be able to become one of the three masters, Zhang Xiaohuai is the same, but many years of military experience, so that he can confirm one thing at most, the establishment of a strong national defense force is conducive to China's development, but what happens later, he doesn't know.

Now, China has the capacity to build the national defense force, one is Beiyang, the other is Baotou, and obviously, above the scales, he and Jiang Baili have been inclined to Baotou, Baotou has established a strong army, as long as Yang Yuanzhao is not for his own power, there should be no problem.

The first batch of military academy construction expenses have been basically cashed out, and the special funds are earmarked, and a huge military academy covering an area of 12 square kilometers has been built at a distance of 100 kilometers from Baotou, close to railways and highways, and the entire construction standard is based on the standard of the military camp, and once completed, it can accommodate 12,000 people to study here for a long time, and it can also accommodate a part of the short-term training class.

Hardware has, even all kinds of military equipment, relying on the strong strength of Baotou, are all in place, the key is the teachers, this is also a big deal, the military school, if it is just hardware, as early as a year or two ago, it can be built, but the military school is not a few guns, some equipment is OK, the real ability to make students become talents, or teachers.

In order to solve the problem of the military academy, Yang Yuanzhao invited some military teachers from Germany through the relationship with the German side, and they would bring the education methods of the German system.

Building a modern, training Chinese officers of the military academy, has always been Jiang Baili's wish, he is also preparing for this, classmates, plus some relationships, he sent them an invitation, got some responses, but 12,000 people of the huge military school, the gap is not ordinarily large, at present, is still in intense preparations.

Countless jobs, thousands of complicated, fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao mobilized a part of the soldiers and young students to help him, otherwise, the heavy work could crush him.

The New Year is approaching, this is already Yang Yuanzhao came to Baotou, the third New Year, the first two, basically spent in the busy and tense, this time, all aspects are smooth, the development of Baotou has also begun to enter the right track, Yang Yuanzhao also has leisure, ready to hold a party, the elites of all walks of life are found, it can be regarded as a firm confidence in Baotou, step by step Baotou some of the current achievements, as well as some progress made outside, to show them.

For this party, Yang Yuanzhao invested a lot, and some other factories and enterprises also saw the business opportunities here, and they have donated generously, and it is estimated that the total investment will exceed 2 million.

After careful preparation, this party was held very successfully, but at the venue, although Yang Yuanzhao had a smile on his face, he didn't have much smile, and almost after participating in it, he commended some outstanding talents in various industries and hurried away.

Smart people have already seen the clues from the middle, with the departure of Yang Yuanzhao, almost all the high-level leaders in Baotou, the board members, and some high-level soldiers and city managers have left one after another.

Baotou City venue, the newly established hall on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, appeared brightly lit, in front of a small conference room, hundreds of soldiers with loaded guns, guarding the place extremely tightly, Yang Yuanzhao's car arrived, one after another big people came, they rushed in, their expressions were relatively solemn.

Among the about 20 people, the people who should have arrived, including the representatives of all shareholders, the person in charge of the Baotou heavy enterprise, of course, also including the division commanders and chiefs of staff of the five divisions and the three masters, the actual yàn regiment is an independent unit, in terms of establishment, it is almost equivalent to the division level, as for Jiang Baili, the principal of the only military academy in Baotou, although he does not hold a position in the army, his status is relatively detached, and he is also within the scope of invitation.

There are a few more strangers, but no one cares, to be able to enter here, there are special passes that are specially distributed, this only Yang Yuanzhao has the right to issue, and those who have been recognized by Yang Yuanzhao are all their own people, so there is nothing to worry about.

On the rostrum, Yang Yuanzhao had a solemn expression and said: "Everyone is here, it should be the moment of the party, but there is a big event, I think we must let everyone know!" ”

Everyone paid attention to Yang Yuanzhao, only to see Yang Yuanzhao's gaze fall on Hou Jinsheng's body, and said softly: "Mr. Hou, let's talk about it, the information was reported by him!" ”

Hou Jinsheng smiled bitterly, stood up and said: "Everyone, I got a message through the guò channel, Ta Kung Pao wants to report the news of the Baotou Railway!" ”

"Baotou Railway?" The construction of the huge railway network of Baotou Tongguò has combined hundreds of kilometers around Baotou into a whole, in the past year, it has demonstrated its power and began to continuously promote the construction of Baotou into a new peak.

Although Baotou established a government, but this qiē is under the nose of the Qing government, in the past year, Baotou has done very well, whether it is railways, highways, or even some specific figures of industrial and commercial achievements, it has not attracted attention, under the muffled fortune, no one knows that Baotou is actually like this, among them, the most touching, is the three masters, especially Cai Yi, who is already in China, also has a lot of rights, but I don't know that Baotou has become today's look.

The secret that has been kept all along, but in an instant, was revealed, in a sense, Baotou was exposed to the perspective of the center, what will happen, I can't say, but one thing is certain, Baotou can no longer develop as freely as it is now, unless, Baotou dares to confront, or even declare independence.
