On this day, the weather was fine, and after Han Zheng thought about his future development plan, he directly asked the guards to find several generals in the army.

The guards answered, and walked directly to the school field, the weather was getting warmer, the school field was boiling, and the armies were constantly training their combat skills.

After Wang Xian and the others received Han Zheng's order, they hurriedly arranged the training of soldiers and came to Han Zheng's office.

When a few people came, Han Zheng had already sat down on the main seat of the conference table and waited, and several people greeted each other, and then sat down in turn.

Due to Han Zheng's prestige in the army, on formal occasions, when Han Zheng did not speak, few people interjected indiscriminately during the meeting, especially when it came to business.

Ying's transformation of his group of friends and subordinates, although it is the effect he wants to achieve, he can't help but have some regrets in his heart.

"I won't say anything superfluous, I came to you this time, and there is only one main thing, which is to recruit and expand the army." The sunlight outside through the window fell on Han Zheng's shoulder, and Han Zheng stood up and spoke.

The following people were already mentally prepared, and Han Zheng had passed this tone before, so after hearing it, they were not surprised, but quietly waited for Han Zheng's next arrangement.

Because the expansion of the army is the most urgent thing for Han Zhengjun at present, especially since things have just entered the right track recently and the development has stabilized, this matter can no longer be delayed.

The two of them had long thought that there were too few soldiers now, and they were not energetic to bring them up, and it was okay to fight, but once a slightly larger battle occurred, the problem of numbers would be highlighted, and eventually became the biggest obstacle to the development of Han Zheng's army.

Vortex this place, now the momentum of development is good, with the Huaiyan start, the factories have entered the profit period, every month there are nearly 5,000 pieces of ocean income, to the next year, the development will be more rapid, but it is inevitable that someone peeps, only the strength of the strong can ensure the fruits of their own development.

Han Zheng glanced at Wang Xian and asked, "Captain Wang, what do you think?" Say what you have and discuss it together. ”

Wang Xian saw Han Zheng bring himself up, so he had no choice but to speak: "Battalion commander, I raise my hands to agree with the expansion of the army, but our soldiers are too few, once an accident occurs, it is difficult to control the situation, it is indeed necessary to expand the army, but is it a little early?" We are just getting on the right track at this time, should we wait for a period of time to expand the army, and in the autumn, if everything is stable and the food is sufficient, we will expand the army? ”

Wang Xian saw that Li Feng and Chen Feng and some others also nodded in agreement, knowing that they all meant the same thing.

But how did you not know that this matter seemed a little urgent? But according to the memories of his later generations, the Civil War did not talk about him, but said that a major event would happen next to him - the White Wolf Bandits.

Once this really happens, if you don't have a strong army, you will not only lose the opportunity to profit from the chaos, but there may also be a situation where the other party only sends a small number of people over, and the 300 people under your command are simply not enough to plug your teeth, that is to say, all your efforts will be in vain.

But this kind of thing is only known to himself, and he can't say it, even if he takes it out, it is difficult to make his subordinates believe and convince him, but Han Zheng has already decided on the expansion of the army, and it is impossible to compromise, so he has to persuade a few people from other aspects to support his army expansion.

"This military expansion is not a whim for me, but after careful consideration, I also know what you said, what you are worried about, I also think of it, but what you also need to see is that we already have the conditions for army expansion, and objectively speaking, the situation we are in now also requires us to expand the army."

After Han Zheng said this, he glanced at the thoughtful people, and then continued: "We have three major advantages in expanding the army at this time, first: there are enough guns and ammunition, not to mention the weapons and ammunition of the water bandits we have captured, that is, there are more than 300 rifles that we have recently purchased from the Shanghai smuggling road, and the quality is even better than the one issued in the original barracks, and about ten heavy machine guns and more than 20 light machine guns have also been obtained with the help of Mr. Li Yiru. ”

"We have recently purchased a lot of grain and grass, plus flour stocks, enough to recruit another 500 people to eat for a year, look at the situation this year, we are also in good weather, to autumn will be a big harvest year, then we can also buy a large amount of grain from the farmers."

"Second: our military salary is sufficient, not to mention the income, as long as the benefits of Huaiyan are in our hands, we have the economic strength to support more than 2,000 troops, not to mention others, this is our biggest support for this army expansion, we have the strength to expand the army, and basically become an army in half a year."

"Third: We have a good mass foundation, and now everyone knows that since we eliminated the bandits and tobacco dealers, we have received the support of the local masses, and we have initially developed industry and education here, and then we will not be in the same situation as in Hebei. These three points are enough to make our current expansion smooth and smooth, and there will be no variables! ”

Han Zheng said these three points, he is also a little proud and proud, although he has just arrived here in just three months, he has achieved this kind of achievement, and mingles with the local people, harmonious military-civilian relations, stable economic development, and so on.

Although it has just seen results, it has already driven the atmosphere of the entire Voryang region, and there is vitality everywhere, and it is no longer as lifeless as before, which makes Han Zheng have enough confidence to speak.

Han Zheng's self-confidence also began to infect everyone sitting down, and he was full of pride when he thought that everyone would build this place like this together, and he began to unconsciously lean towards Han Zheng's point of view in his heart.

"However, if there are only these three points, just like Wang Xian proposed, I will not be in such a hurry to expand the army, so I want to let everyone know the following things, our seemingly stable environment is not as safe as we imagined on the surface."

After talking about his internal advantages, Han Zheng naturally began to talk about the grim situation facing the outside: "First of all, there are several places around us, especially the party organizations in Fuyang County and Mengcheng County, there are many people, and the local area has been actually controlled by these people. ”

"Moreover, the people in these people are tough, they had another big flood last year, and they have just improved recently, our side is smoking ban, and it is blocking both sides of the vortex river, which has seriously violated their interests, can the development of our side not make them salivate? They can't build it, but if they do some damage, they are good hands, once we have a bumper harvest this fall, they will inevitably be in trouble, and then what will we do to stop it? ”

When Han Zheng said this, they gradually responded, their brows wrinkled unconsciously, thinking that when the party in the surrounding places came to invade collectively, relying on their own three hundred people, if one party rushed over, they might be able to resist, but as Han Zheng said, almost all of the surrounding places were controlled by the party organization, and they formed gangs and acted together.

Moreover, at this time, when the Republic of China was first established, there was chaos in various places, and when the time came, there would be no scum left for himself and others to be swallowed by others, and no one would pay attention to it.

"Another point, everyone should have noticed that we have a good weather this year, but we should also look farther, especially our neighbor Henan, the last two years have been serious, and this year is a year of great drought, I don't know when there will be a large-scale banditry, once it happens, even if we are not the direction of the other party's main attack, but we will definitely be impacted, everyone should be a little nervous, once something happens, we must also have some self-protection."

At this time, the following people were really nervous, and almost broke out in a cold sweat, before they had been limited to local development, only thinking about the good situation in front of them, but they did not think of the various crises around them.

Even if I occasionally hear some rumors, I don't care, I always think that those dangerous things are far away from me, and I just need to take care of my own one-third of an acre, don't you know that if people don't offend people, people will also offend you?!

And at this time, the only ones who didn't worry at all were Xiang Jie and Cao Debiao, these two people have been a little crazy when they encounter this kind of thing since the water bandit incident and the cigarette seller incident.

Cao Debiao was short of breath, and when he saw that the few people next to him didn't speak, he stood up without thinking about it and said: "Battalion commander, I support our army expansion, the more the better, if anyone hits our idea at that time, let me take my brothers to kill them, and promise not to let them succeed." ”

At this time, Cao Debiao forgot that he was the captain of the guards, and once Han Zheng was in the rear, he couldn't go to the front if he wanted to.

Han Zheng glanced at Cao Debiao, who was already red-faced at this time, and thoughtfully, it seemed that he was really suitable for a tiger general on the battlefield, not suitable for being a tiger in a box by his side, Han Zheng suddenly had the idea of letting the other party out on this opportunity.

Although they were not as happy and crazy as Cao Debiao and Xiang Jie, they also agreed with Han Zheng's proposal to expand the army in their hearts at this time, and they were no longer entangled, and they all agreed.

Han Zheng saw that everyone had been persuaded by himself, and he also took a breath of relaxation in his heart, if everyone was unwilling, even if he insisted that he could settle this matter, but after all, it was not as good as this.

"There is also good news to tell you, I didn't want to say it so early, but now I tell you, so that everyone can be prepared, and I don't know how to be excited when the time comes." Han Zheng saw that something must have happened, opened his mouth and said something, and said to a few people quite mysteriously.

The curiosity in his heart suddenly came up, and he didn't know what good things Han Zheng had to tell everyone at this time.

"We have our own bullet production line, so don't worry about running out of bullets in the future, and you can shoot boldly in training. Even if the gun is broken, we can fix it! Do you think that's a good thing?! Han Zheng couldn't hide the joy in his tone, and his eyes radiated excitement, in fact, after getting the news at that time, Han Zheng was really excited for a long time.

"Three days later, someone will transport this production line back, and there will be some skilled masters with you, everyone should arrange good people to study carefully, and Li Feng, you can also prepare, and hand over your captaincy during this army expansion, and then someone will be arranged to take over your class, and you will officially enter your strong point to stay, and our artillery unit will be handed over to you."

"I got five German-style Krupp 75mm guns from Shanghai this time, which is a lot more than other armies in our Beiyang Army, and the amount of finished artillery shells has also been prepared in fifteen boxes, and after the production line is installed in a few days, there will be specially invited masters to help debug and modify, and the shells will also be produced by ourselves."

After Han Zheng finished speaking, everyone was stunned, how could a few people never think that there would be such a big surprise waiting for everyone, especially Li Feng was the happiest, he thought that he didn't know when he would have his own artillery unit, but he didn't expect that this had just begun to develop, and his dream would come true, can he be happy?

Only Zheng Rong knew about this matter, a few days ago, Han Zheng suddenly found him, and brought out all the more than 30,000 and nearly 40,000 oceans in the camp, and told Zheng Rong about it, but at that time, both sides were not sure that this thing could be done.

Therefore, at the beginning, both sides kept this secret, so Zheng Rongcai never said it.

But at this time, there is nothing to hide.
