At the same time, in order to protect the rear, Chen Shao also decided to establish a police force, and later began to recruit armed police forces. The Chinese Military Academy has long opened a police course. A police academy will also be built in the later phase. At the same time, officers above the squad leader are each equipped with a Browning pistol and a Thompson submachine gun, and all the guards are equipped with submachine guns, armored soldiers, and the Air Force has a pistol per person, and the heavy firepower of the Marine Corps is all plus a level of equipment.

On the parade ground of the military academy, 200 fresh graduates were standing there in full gear, wearing straight and good cloth military uniforms, holding tightly in their hands the Chinese-style rifles that had accompanied them for three years and with good bayonets.

Four years ago, many of them had doubts. Of course, it is worth being happy to enter a military school, but the regulations on enlisting in the army at the beginning made many people slightly apprehensive, and most people were unsure about whether they could have a better home after graduation.

However, in the past three years, these students, who have been trained with militia soldiers countless times, have long left behind all their worries, and only hope to graduate early and enter the iron-blooded army.

It was hard for them to imagine that there would be such an iron-blooded army hidden in the small Qinghe Village area, their training, their equipment, their military discipline, their combat quality, their beliefs, and their thoughts, which once made these students feel completely inferior.

"Stand upright, salute!"

A military order sounded like a roar, which meant that the ceremony was about to begin.

The group walked up to the school review platform, led by Chen Shao, followed by Cai Yi, Jiang Baili, Kong Wenhong, Wang Yunshan, Huang Bai, Qian Pengfei, Xu Jinghai, Chen Shaokuan, Chen Fuqin, and Liu Deshui. Chen Shao is currently the principal of the Chinese Military Academy and the supreme officer of the Chinese People's Army. Cai Yi is the executive vice president of the Chinese Military Academy and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of the Chinese People's Army, Jiang Baili is also the executive vice president and chief of staff of the Chinese People's Army, Kong Wenhong is the commander of the first division of the Chinese People's Army, Wang Yunshan is the commander of the heavy artillery brigade, Chen Fuqin is the commander of the second division of the Chinese People's Army, Huang Bai is the commander of the reserve division, Liu Deshui is the commander of the armored brigade, Qian Pengfei is the captain of the air force wing and commander of the air force, Xu Jinghai is the deputy captain and chief of staff of the Air Force, Chen Shaokuan is the commander of the Kuomintang Navy of the later generations, Now it has become the commander of the Navy of the Chinese People's Army. And Chen Fuqin and Liu Deshui were introduced by Cai Yi. In the past four years, several of them have been studying at the Chinese Military Academy, and the current Chinese People's Army has made great progress compared to four years ago, with two regular divisions, one reserve division, one heavy artillery brigade, one armored brigade, two air force wings, and a naval fleet with four cruisers, eight destroyers, and twenty submarines. The army has achieved full mechanization, and the total strength of the three armies is close to 8w people, fortunately, now Chen Shao's family has a great cause, and the entire Huashi County is surrounded by factories, otherwise there are so many soldiers alone, and he must be dragged down.

After the establishment of the military academy, Chen Shao did not leave it alone, and even personally served as the director of the political department of the military academy. Every week, there is one of his compulsory courses, Modern Military Ethics and Thought.

"Soldiers, as the principal, I would like to congratulate you on your graduation with excellent grades after four years of hard study. The country is in an eventful time, the warlords are fighting, the people are struggling to make a living, and although you have graduated from the military academy, you have only just begun. I hope that you will remember the teachings of your teachers, devote your youth and passion to the iron-blooded army, and prove that you are a good soldier with your blood and sweat. Tell me what your mission is!! ”

"Revitalize China, Defend China!"

"Very well, I hope you remember what you said today, and I'll keep an eye on your performance." Chen Shao waved his hand, saluted a standard military salute, and then shouted: "Confer the title!" ”

The Chinese People's Army cited the normative later military ranks. When cadets graduate, a very small number of outstanding cadets are awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and the rest are awarded the rank of non-commissioned officer.

Kong Wenhong personally held the plate with the military rank, Chen Shao stood in front of the stage, and the outstanding students were ready to come to the stage one by one to receive the military rank.

"Tell the headmaster, your name, where are you from?" Chen Shao took a pair of epaulettes with the rank of second lieutenant and asked kindly, although he could basically know these students. Although he is very young, in the eyes of cadets, he is already an unattainable figure. Needless to say, everything is not only their own principal, but also their own supreme leader.

"Report to the Headmaster! Chen Gengpeng. Hunan Xiangxiang people! Chen Gengpeng straightened his body and saluted a military salute with the greatest strength of his life, he, like all military cadets, in the past four years, his biggest wish is to be able to stand on the stage and accept the title of principal, but he didn't expect that he was the first student with the best grades and the first to be awarded the title on stage.

"Congratulations, Cadet Chen Gengpeng, because you graduated with honors, the headquarters of the Chinese People's Army decided to award you the rank of second lieutenant." Chen Shao personally took off the epaulettes of the cadets for him, and pinned the two epaulettes to him in person. Chen Gengpeng only felt that his eyes were astringent for a while, and a tear that was not easy for a man rolled out, and then he endured it and saluted again before stepping off the stage.

"Tell the headmaster your name, where are you from?" In the same process, Chen Shao also asked kindly in a respectful way for the students.

"Report to the principal, Su Yusheng! A native of Huaihua, Hunan. Su Yu saluted all his life, although he was only ranked second, but his heart was very high, and he thought that he was no worse than Chen Gengpeng, who was the first. Being able to be awarded the rank of second lieutenant by the principal himself also completely stimulated his enthusiasm.

"Congratulations, student Su Yusheng, because you graduated with honors, the headquarters of the Chinese People's Army decided to award you the rank of second lieutenant." Chen Shao also ceremoniously pinned the cadet's rank epaulette.

'Report to the principal, Hu Zongnan...'

'Report to the principal, Du Yuming...'

‘……‘

Looking at the iron-clad students in front of him, he couldn't help but have greater expectations for the new batch of students studying outside the door. But looking at the cadets in front of me, it is estimated that in three years, that military school will be tragic.

After the completion of the awards, several large military trucks drove directly to the playground to pull these trainees away, and waiting for them will be the regular troops of the Chinese People's Army.

"Cai Gong has worked hard, once a year, another group of students have graduated." Chen Shao held Cai Yi's hand and said gratefully.

Cai Yi smiled slightly, and pointed to the truck carrying the students in the distance, "Chen Shao, it's me who should say thank you." The students graduating today will become the hope of China's future army together with the previous students, and you, let everyone see hope. ”

In the test field in the firearms production factory, early this morning ushered in many Chinese People's Army bigwigs, led by Chen Shao picked up a rifle, under the guidance of the gun 55, Chen Shao pressed a magazine into a new type of rifle, after pressing the magazine, raised the rifle three points and one line, pop bang, eight shots in a row, no pause, this is a semi-automatic rifle designed according to the M1 Garand rifle, in fact, the first experimental gun was produced as early as 1919.

Its firing and firing mechanism is still used today by many rifles.

There is also a rifle that is being tested at the same time today. The prototype of this gun was the Mauser 98K, which was modified in many places, increasing the firing range to 1200 meters while increasing the accuracy of fire.
