"Now the recruitment of new recruits has begun, and officers and non-commissioned officers of all ranks are drawn from the garrison. You must listen to them more and not go your own way. That would have caused huge losses to the army. Liu Yue didn't recognize Zhang Cheng's ability in his heart, but he couldn't refuse Zhu Dingsong's instructions.

If it's another governor, it doesn't matter, after all, the governor can't interfere with the garrison. But Zhu Dingsong is not an ordinary person. As a representative of the imperial family's power, Zhu Dingsong has a strong power in the empire, which is far from something that he, a small major general, Liu Yue, can refuse.

"Yes. Be sure to obey orders. Zhang Cheng never thought that he could lead the troops to beat the Sardinians like a hanger. He had only been a conscription soldier for two years in the modern world. The military school or something has only passed by. All military knowledge, except for what is learned in PLA, depends on all kinds of dramas and networks. Zhang Cheng, who is self-aware, is still very sober.

"Hmm." Liu Yue nodded with satisfaction. Not arrogant or impatient, advance and retreat in a certain way. The young man in front of him will have a great future in the future.

"Do it well." Liu Yue stood up, raised his hand and patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Behave well, if you have the opportunity, I will recommend you to go to Lu University for further study." ”

"Thank you, General." Zhang Cheng had a sincere smile on his face.

"You go to Major Zhang Tao, he is your regimental deputy and chief of staff. Organize the troops, collect supplies and leave it to him to be responsible. Liu Yue began to prepare to send off the guests.

"Yes. Checkmate. ”

After leaving the office building, Zhang Cheng smiled and looked at He Laosan, who ushered in him, "I want to go to the heat again. Naya is gone. What do you think? ”

"Hey, hey." He Laosan grinned, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "I don't care what the court wants." I just want to avenge Wu Shan and them! ”

"Okay." Zhang Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth, and his eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife, "Revenge!" ”

Wars are fought about money, and money refers to all kinds of materials.

Zhang Tao, a native of Baoding Mansion. Zhang Tao, who is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, is a graduate of the Baoding Military Academy, but after nearly 20 years in the army, he has basically reached the end of climbing to the position of major. After all, he was not a graduate of Lu University, and he did not get the precious opportunity to go to Lu University for further study. It is almost impossible to move forward.

Zhang Tao took the initiative to apply for transfer five years ago and came to the London Concession to work as an ordinary logistics officer. Later, he went through the door of a bigwig's family and became the director of the material warehouse of the garrison in the London concession.

When it comes to the position of warehouse supervisor, everyone must be smiling. It's a fat job. The army has a huge amount of supplies, and many things have not even been opened after they have expired. How to make a fortune for yourself through these materials has become a compulsory course for almost every warehouse manager.

This Major Zhang Tao, with the care of that big man, blew up his wealth like a balloon in just a few years. Just like his bloated body.

Major General Liu Yue had long wanted to move him. It's just that Zhang Tao is covered by someone, and there is not a penny less in the place where it should be placed. And that's how it dragged on. Until this time I was ready to go to war.

Liu Yue openly kicked Zhang Tao to Zhang Cheng's mercenary group as a deputy, and at the same time quickly promoted his henchman to be the new warehouse supervisor, and won this extremely important position.

"Sir!" Zhang Tao, who was so fat that he couldn't see his eyes, shook his huge body and came to Zhang Cheng, raising his hand and saluting with a serious expression. Not to mention anything else, this military salute is absolutely standard. It's just that with the round body and fair and delicate skin, Zhang Cheng frowned.

"How's the troops?" Zhang Cheng didn't mean to talk nonsense, and went straight to the hard dishes.

"Sir, please take a seat. I have the best Longjing tea here, let's drink it and talk at the same time. Squinting and smiling, Zhang Tao, who looked like a Maitreya Buddha, smiled and asked Zhang Cheng to sit down first. After closing the door, he ran to make tea for Zhang Cheng.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, I'll listen." Zhang Cheng took a sip of the exquisite teacup and looked at Zhang Tao with blazing eyes. This person is not simple.

"Sir." A look of surprise flashed in Zhang Tao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, "I have also heard of your feat, I really admire it." ”

Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows quietly, he was very uncomfortable with this way of talking. In contrast, he prefers the kind of straight-to-go that is close to Western.

"It's a great honor to be able to work under the Commander." As if sensing Zhang Cheng's impatience, Zhang Tao quickly went straight to the point, "However, now I am in trouble." ”

"Oh." Zhang Cheng lowered his eyelids and asked in a low voice, "Tell me about it." ”

"That's right." Zhang Tao twisted his fat body, and squeezed the wide leather sofa 'sizzling', "There is no problem with the troops." Personnel have been recruited, and officers and non-commissioned officers at all levels have been deployed. There were no arrears in the salaries of the troops. ”

Zhang Cheng waited expressionlessly for him to say the point. Sure enough, Zhang Tao's face was full of complaints, and he said hatefully, "My position as warehouse supervisor has been revoked, and the equipment that the new guy has approved for our regiment is all old and tattered, he looks down on you." ”

"Oh." Zhang Cheng pursed his lips, put down the teacup and stood up, looking at Zhang Tao with an indifferent expression, "Take me to see." ”

The barracks warehouse is an unusually large structure. As one of the largest colonies in Europa, the warehouses of the barracks of the London Colonial Garrison stored a large amount of supplies.

The provisional number of Zhang Cheng's unit was the 3rd Regiment of the Volunteer Regiment of the Governor's District of London. When he came to a warehouse marked with a big number, Zhang Cheng saw more than a dozen non-commissioned officers, led by several lieutenant-level officers, arguing with a major officer with his head held high and his toes high.

Centuries-long cultural exchanges between the East and the West had a huge impact on the Ming Empire. The eclectic Chinese nation has absorbed a great deal of useful knowledge from the countries of Europa over a long period of time. Including the company. For example, in order to avoid parasites, long hair is cut short, wide and inconvenient Confucian robes are changed to simple and practical pants and clothes, and basic education is popularized.

In the military aspect, it is a large-scale reform of the comprehensive reorganization from the establishment of the army to the ranks and posts. It has unified the command system of the armed forces, standardized the shortcomings of weapons and equipment, military uniforms and ranks, and so on. Closer to a modern army.

It was not at all easy for an ancient empire to do these things. Vested interests such as the Rotten Confucians fought desperately, and even almost changed the color of the entire empire's sky. After a long period of back-and-forth, even today, there are still many bad habits that continue in all aspects.

"I'm Zhang Cheng, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Volunteers." Zhang Cheng, who had cold eyes, strode forward and said in a deep voice under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

"Sir!" The lieutenants and non-commissioned officers were slightly stunned and then quickly stood up and saluted.

"Hush." The major with his nostrils facing to the sky did not react, and said in a strange manner, "A reserve colonel has also been dragged up." ”

"A reserve colonel is not a colonel?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows and shouted coldly: "The military regulations of the Royal Army are to make your nostrils turn to the sky when you see the commander?" Since the London garrison is like this, I will go to the Governor to recover my donation. You can't donate money to people like you! ”

Such a major is Liu Yue's confidant, and he replaced Zhang Tao's position as a warehouse supervisor. His name is Chen Lu. He is a fellow villager of Major General Liu Yue, but he is not a graduate of Lu University.

The reason why Zhang Cheng did not pretend to him was that he even did not hesitate to bring out Zhu Dingsong as a threat. In addition to what he heard Chen Lu say, "If you have equipment, you won't use it for the mud legs of the three regiments." In addition, there is also an important point that Zhang Cheng looks down on this kind of person.

In fact, who would be a warehouse supervisor if they are really self-motivated and capable? Everyone knows that this is a fat shortage, but it also means that you don't want to be in the army in the future. And this kind of person is generally not well received.

Chen Lu was not afraid of Zhang Cheng going to Liu Yue to complain, because Liu Yue was his boss. But Zhang Cheng said that he was going to find the Governor, no matter whether what he said was true or not, Chen Lu didn't dare to let Zhang Cheng go!

Zhang Cheng is a typical example of being erected by the Governor, and everyone knows about it. If nothing else, if this matter really happened to the Governor, he, the small major in charge of the warehouse, really couldn't afford it.

The reason why Chen Lu wanted to do this was also very simple. First of all, he successfully squeezed out Zhang Tao, the thorn in his eye, and successfully sat in the coveted position. Naturally, I got a little carried away.

Then, Chen Lu, who had been cursed by him for several years, was transferred to the third regiment as a regimental deputy. thinks that he has not been able to earn benefits in the past few years because of Zhang Tao's obstacles. It is only natural for Chen Lu to put small shoes on the third regiment.

Also, the commander of the third regiment heard that he was a super-rich man. Ten million silver dollars were thrown out without blinking. If this kind of person doesn't make money, who will make it?

Originally, I just wanted to give Zhang Cheng a dismissal, so as to set a good tone for the next business. But he didn't expect Zhang Cheng to flip the table as soon as he came up!

"Sir." No matter how angry you are in your heart, how much you curse. Chen Lu, who didn't dare to make a big fuss, had to give a reluctant military salute.

"Who are you?" Zhang Cheng didn't even glance at Chen Lu, turned his head to look at the captains and non-commissioned officers on the side, and asked softly.

"Sir!" A young lieutenant pursed his lips and shouted, "I'm Chen Zhuo, the commander of the first battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Volunteers. This is Zhou Mo, the commander of the second battalion. It's "

After Chen Zhuo introduced all the people around him, he looked at Zhang Cheng and shouted loudly, "The equipment that the third regiment has booked and received is too poor, we have come to reason with Major Chen Lu, the warehouse supervisor!" ”

Chen Zhuo: They are all young people who have just left the military academy not long ago. Young and energetic, very energetic. When it comes to such a thing as a war, it is natural to take the initiative to ask to participate. Although assigned to the mercenary regiment, being able to command a battalion with the rank of lieutenant was enough to excite these young people. If they were struggling in the Royal Army, it would take at least five years for them to reach the position of battalion commander!
