Chapter 13: Military Training (2)
After Wei Guanghui finished speaking, he saw that everyone looked at him in surprise, and said angrily: "Look at it." ”
When several new regiment commanders saw his angry appearance, they all turned their heads and couldn't help but smile and not look at him. Only Zhang Yafei looked at him with a smile. "And you." Wei Guanghui yelled at Zhang Yafei viciously.
Zhang Yafei didn't care, bared his teeth, made a grimace, ignored Wei Guanghui, turned his head and said to Song Zhewu with a smile: "Commander, I know what opinion Brother Guanghui has, he is a suspect of few soldiers." ”
"Yafei, you let Captain Wei finish speaking." Song Zhewu roughly knew Wei Guanghui's thoughts, but he still wanted to hear him.
When Zhang Yafei said the central matter, Wei Guanghui couldn't help but say a little embarrassed: "I have two opinions, the first is that cavalry only has impact when there are more people, and I only have 2,000 men and horses so far, which is about the same as one battalion of them." The second is that the training basically does not involve cavalry, and the commander favors the infantry cavalry, otherwise, the cavalry will be abolished altogether, and I will also become an infantryman. ”
Seeing that Wei Guanghui was still angry, Song Zhewu laughed and said: "My Commander Wei, let me answer your second question first, the chief of staff and I are both from infantry, and everyone who is doing it is you who is an expert who graduated from the cavalry department of the Baoding Military Academy. ”
Wei Guanghui thought about it and laughed himself. Song Zhewu continued: "The first thing you said, you also wronged me and the chief of staff, we are now in the mountains, the cavalry is of little use, and the cavalry has to be of great use in the grasslands and plains. Don't say that most of our soldiers can't ride horses, it takes a long time to train to become qualified cavalry, even if you can ride, I won't give it to you now, we have few people now. You can train your 2,000 men and horses with peace of mind now, and after the training is successful, I will use the excuse of guarding against horse bandits as an excuse to let you lead your troops to the edge of the grassland to choose a place to station, with these 2,000 people as the backbone, you can let go of the recruitment, there are many people who can ride horses, and the training time is short, I first promise you the establishment of 20,000 people. ”
As soon as he heard about the establishment of 20,000 people, Wei Guanghui couldn't help grinning, and the eyes of the other regiment commanders also showed envy. The cavalry of 20,000 men is the size of an army according to the current establishment of cavalry units in China.
"Don't be happy yet, you're having fun after listening to me." Song Zhewu continued: "There is also the problem of horses, most of your current horses are Mongolian horses, although Mongolian horses have strong endurance, they are short, slow, and not strong in impact. The horses of the cavalry should be known for their speed, and it is better for the cavalry to use horses or horses from the western part of Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Province. There are also sabers, the quality of steel produced in China is not good, and the sabers made of them are easy to break when chopping, and I have placed an order for 24,000 sabers with Little Gates, and the style is the kind you have seen. ”
Wei Guanghui has seen the pattern drawn by Song Zhewu, the slender blade with the curved tip of the knife, it makes people love it when they look at it.
In fact, the knife pattern painted by Song Zhewu is the famous Xuefeng knife in later generations. What Song Zhewu didn't expect was that because he made this knife come out in advance, it was immediately favored by the German army, and soon after, the German cavalry replaced it with this knife. Subsequently, the cavalry of France and the former Soviet Union also changed their equipment. What made Song Zhewu regret it was that because he did not apply for a patent, only the Germans were kinder and paid Song Zhewu a fee in advance, while other countries ignored him. The reason why no patent was applied for is because, in Song Zhewu's memory, the Xuefeng knife was only used by Chinese, and was not used by the armies of other countries. But what he didn't know was that when the Xuefeng knife came out in history, due to the improvement of weapon automation, the importance of cavalry in various countries was greatly reduced. And now, cavalry is still an important branch of the army, so the knives used by cavalry are given due attention.
Looking at Wei Guanghui with a smirk on his face, Zhang Tao, the commander of the third regiment, said jokingly: "You don't want to be a cavalryman, who makes us classmates, I can only endure the pain and cut love, and I will exchange with you." The people in the room immediately burst into laughter.
Ye Changgui was worried about the problem of the soldiers of his special brigade, and when he saw Wei Guanghui complaining, he changed from 2,000 to 20,000, and immediately raised his own question: "Although Commander Wei is said to have fewer people now, after all, there are still 2,000 people, and I don't even have a soldier now?" ”
"I've already dealt with the commander about your problem." Xiao Guodong took over the conversation: "Tomorrow, you will go to each regiment to select people, and first select according to 2,000 people." After glancing at everyone, he continued: "All regiments must actively cooperate with Captain Ye, and no matter who is chosen, they must be released unconditionally,"
As soon as he heard Xiao Guodong's words, several regiment commanders of Zhang Yafei immediately blew up their nests, and Zhang Yafei first said: "This is not good, Chief of Staff." If you do this, then our backbone will not be snatched away by him. Several other regiment commanders also expressed their dissatisfaction with the excitement.
Song Zhewu coughed heavily, and everyone knew that he was going to speak, so they immediately stopped squeaking.
Song Zhewu saw that everyone was quiet, and he was able to say in a resolute tone: "I completely agree with what the chief of staff said just now about the method of selecting personnel for the special brigade. Captain Ye, you will go to a regiment tomorrow to select people, and the battalion commander will choose whatever you want, and all regiments must give their full support. ”
Ye Changgui had Song Zhewu's Shang Fang sword, and the personnel problem was solved, and he was overjoyed, but several regiment leaders looked at him and gritted their teeth. Ye Changgui knew that he was a little angry, so he hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said to everyone: "I am also carrying out the commander's order, so I have no choice but to do it!" Don't be surprised, bosses, and take care of it. ”
Song Zhewu then said solemnly: "I also want to emphasize one point, that is, everyone should not have self-centeredness, mountain thinking, and do not want you and me to distinguish very clearly. I hope you all understand that you can only be better if you are a good security brigade. I can't say anything about the tasks of the special brigade at this stage, and it will be kept secret at this stage, so don't ask about it, but I can tell you that at this stage, the establishment of the special brigade is the most important task of our security brigade. After thinking about it, he added: "Captain Ye, when you choose people, you can tell the selected people that all those who enter the special brigade, whether soldiers or officers, will have their salaries doubled. "Song Zhewu was afraid that these regiment commanders would not be able to oppose it openly, so they secretly encouraged their hands to go down and offer high military salaries, so it would be difficult for them to stop them.
Seeing Song Zhewu's expression, everyone knew that it was useless to say more, so they all lowered their heads in frustration and did not speak.
Song Zhewu saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, smiled and said, "Don't be upset, you all, there are things that make you even more uncomfortable, when I finish speaking, you will have a headache together." Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, he continued: "All training subjects are subject to assessment, and they are conducted in the last week of each month. An assessment group is formed by Chief of Staff Xiao and the chief of staff of each regiment to conduct cross-assessment of each regiment, specifically that the chief of staff of a certain regiment cannot evaluate his own regiment. The assessment results of individual subjects and comprehensive results should be recorded, and they will be assessed uniformly after six months. In regiments that fail to pass the overall score, regimental-level officers are collectively demoted by one level and retained for one year. Within one year, if the training results of the troops have improved, they will be reinstated to their original posts, otherwise they will be demoted to battalion posts. Seeing that the regiment-level officers were nervously waiting for the following, Song Zhewu smiled secretly in his heart, took a sip of water, and then said: "Although the comprehensive score is not the last, the single subject is the last." Regimental-level officers collectively withheld a piece of the ocean and announced it on the brigade's list. ”
A piece of the ocean! Everyone was surprised that there was only one piece of ocean. You must know that the salaries of the soldiers of the security brigade are high, and the salaries of the officers are even higher. For example, the Central Army, which has the highest military salary in China, has a regimental level of 100 to 150 oceans, while the security brigade has 350 to 400 oceans. Such a high military salary, but only one piece of deduction, could not help but surprise them.
Seeing that everyone looked at them in surprise, Song Zhewu and Xiao Guodong glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.
It was Zhang Yafei who was the first to come back to his senses: "I said Commander, your trick is too poisonous!" It's better to be demoted, aren't you a humble person? ”
Song Zhewu and Xiao Guodong couldn't help laughing.
"If you still have any questions, if there are no problems, the meeting will be adjourned, it is almost noon, and the chief of staff and I will invite you to dinner today." Song Zhewu looked at his watch and said.
Zhang Yafei looked at Song Zhewu and said, "Commander, can you stop eating at the brigade headquarters?" "Now it was Song Zhewu's turn to be surprised, although the food in the security brigade was excellent, these regimental-level officers were even better. However, Song Zhewu has always been unambiguous about eating, and there are chefs invited from Beiping in the brigade headquarters, and the dishes he makes are much better than those made by the cooking class in their regiment.
"Of course." As soon as Song Zhewu's voice fell, everyone coaxed, stood up and rushed out of the door, and in a moment, only Song Zhewu, Xiao Guodong, Wang Xinggang, Ye Changgui, Chu Feng and the two recorded staff officers were left in the room.
Stunned for a moment, Song Zhewu laughed with everyone. Ye Changgui said with a smile: "It's okay to go, I'm not leaving." Chu Feng also smiled and said, "It's not that you don't want to go, but it's useless for you to go now, you don't have a soldier yet." They were all in a hurry to go back to the meeting and get ready for training. I don't think they will have to eat lunch today. ”
