"Hey! Hey! Hey! In the barracks of the West City Gate of Guangzhou, the shouts of the soldiers shook the sky.

The firearms from Shanghai have already arrived in Guangzhou, and although the three battalions of "Zhenwei," "Zhenwu," and "Zhenhe" have not yet started live-fire training, everyone can touch brand-new firearms.

Fu Liang never set foot in the barracks again, and as long as Ye Zhao wrote the charter for the deployment of all the brave officers in the barracks, he would allow them all.

In the wooden room on the east side of the barracks, Ye Zhao was looking through Peter's military training rules, which were actually training plans, and the wooden chairs in the wooden room were extremely simple.

It's not that Ye Zhao is reluctant to spend money, it's really Peter who is careful in his calculations, if you want to talk about silver, Wu Jianzhang is really generous, he reported the firearms donation, and the military funds given to the three battalions of firearms soldiers are 20,000 taels of silver per month, and it is more than enough to raise three battalions of firearms soldiers.

Looking at the military training code, Ye Zhao gradually discovered a problem, Peter's infantry training is still a linear queue, the troops are deployed forward, close to the other party, and shoot with a platoon of guns or at will, until one of them launches a charge, and the victory is decided by white-knuckle combat.

This, why not dig trenches? Is it possible to avoid unnecessary casualties with trenches?

Ye Zhao didn't know that the powerful rifle had just appeared, but the European and American military circles were still following the tactical rules of the past, and the application of trenches would gradually manifest itself in the American Civil War a few years later.

Ye Zhao doesn't understand military affairs, so he naturally has no confidence to speak, after all, Peter is an excellent officer in this era, but most of his military knowledge comes from film and television works.

It was Ye Zhao who called Peter to talk about his trench tactics in a completely consultative tone, "Peter, the rifle is getting more and more powerful, will it be too many casualties if you charge according to your tactics?" If you are fighting in the field, I don't understand, do you think this will work, dig a ditch......" Ye Zhao gestured, "The soldiers on the defending side can hide in the ditch, do you think this is feasible?" ”

Peter was stunned, and after a long moment he let out a strange cry, "Your Excellency, this is a brilliant idea, you, you are a genius!" ”

I wanted to hug Ye Zhao, and I knew that the officials of this country had big rules, so I had no choice but to shrug my shoulders and grinned: "I find more and more that it is my honor to serve you." ”

In fact, even if there is no Ye Zhao's point, in the event of large-scale infantry battles, with the current power of firearms, it is only a matter of time before trench tactics appear in actual combat, but training in advance is different.

Ye Zhao now had confidence, so he discussed with Peter the configuration of the engineer team, and discussed the training of the firearm battalion, such as using straw men as targets in bayonet training, etc.

Peter admired Ye Zhao more and more, and finally looked at Ye Zhao almost with admiration, especially Ye Zhao's often mantra is "I don't understand, do you think this will work......" and then it was a long speech that made Peter stunned, and in the end Ye Zhao was embarrassed to use his own mantra, but it seemed to be fake modesty.

"My lord, have I had the honor of being a member of your infantry team!" Peter asked suddenly, with a serious face, and it seemed that he was not joking.

Ye Zhao was stunned, and then smiled: "This, let's talk about it later!" "After all, they are foreigners, and the world is unpredictable, although it is far away now, but in the future, if their dreams come true, how can there be no conflict with Britain and France in the China Sea? It is difficult to say whether Peter will be on the same front with himself at that time, after all, he is not a businessman, but an emperor [***] man, with the natural sense of honor of a soldier.

Peter's face was disappointed.

Ye Zhao patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe there will be a chance in the future." ”

Peter nodded silently, then cheered up again, straightened up, and said loudly, "Your Excellency, please review your team." ”

……

On the field, columns of soldiers stood straight, and it seemed that Peter's hard work had not been in vain.

Ye Zhao was dressed in a military uniform and wore a towering handsome helmet, but he was very majestic, and on the other side, the black and oppressive soldiers were brave and the aura of slaughter came to his face, which made Ye Zhao's heart even more agitated.

"Soldiers, I apologize to you!" This is Peter's opening remarks, and the interpreter assigned to him is very dutiful, and his voice is unusually loud.

The soldiers were all confused, if it weren't for Lord Dutong, I am afraid that they would have exchanged ears a long time ago.

If you want to talk about these soldiers, almost all of them have heard of the war ten years ago, whether it is through their parents or through veterans, the British [***] team has been rendered as a devilish opponent.

This British instructor was even more arrogant in the face of the soldiers, and the accurate marksmanship when he demonstrated the arsonist, the terrifying killing, and the magic when talking about military knowledge, made these soldiers unconsciously awe of him, who knows what this foreign adult is doing today? Apologize?

The interpreter's high-pitched voice continued to resound throughout the audience: "I used to think that our soldiers of the British Empire were the best soldiers in the world, and that your country was a backward country, but I found that I was wrong! ”

"Your country is a magical country, I am ashamed of my previous arrogance, I think the best soldiers in the world in the future will be among you, because your commander is the best commander in the world!"

Every time the translator translates a sentence, the waist board is straightened up, and he is very proud, and since the word Peter uses is "commander", the surname of the translator is translated into Dashuai, not Dutong, and the last sentence is shouted out of his throat.

"Today, just today, I aspire to be a soldier under the command of your commander, but I was rejected by the commander! Hopefully, one day, I can be one of you! ”

After the interpreter shouted this sentence, all the soldiers couldn't hold back any longer, and they were in an uproar, and they began to talk about it one after another.

Peter saluted and shouted in a foreign language, "Please train the commander!" The interpreter shouted loudly, and the audience was immediately silent.

Ye Zhao didn't expect Peter to suddenly come to such a foreplay, and smiled bitterly in his heart, maybe Peter was to boost morale and enhance the self-confidence of these soldiers, but it was really a bit too much. The best commander? I don't think this hat is too big to wear on myself.

But looking at the eager eyes of the soldiers on the field, Ye Zhao's joking heart gradually put away, yes, these people, these people who are standing in the audience, these young men in their prime, it is the most brilliant time of life, but, it seems that they can imagine their fate in the future, blood spilled on the field, white bones, how many people can return?

Only, do they know what to fight for?

"Tell me, why did you become a soldier?" Ye Zhao asked lightly.

The soldiers and braves all pursed their mouths tightly, and their eyes wandered.

"Eat food and get paid? Ahead? Seal the wife and the shadow? Ye Zhao asked loudly.

The audience was silent.

Ye Zhao glanced at it, and said in a deep voice: "These can be reasons, but they are not all right, when you are a soldier, you must remember four words, protect your family and defend the country!" ”

As he spoke, his voice became high-pitched, "What is a family protector?" There is a small family in the family, protect your brothers and sisters, parents and elders from being humiliated! Protect your hometown from foreign enemies! What is the fear of the death of a big man? The more afraid you are of death, the more you want to die, and death is inevitable; Willing to get home, keep home, family and country are prosperous! ”

"Feeling the time to serve the country, draw the sword and raise Artemisia! I recommend the rivers and mountains with my blood! Encourage you all! Ye Zhao stood with his head held high, awe-inspiring and mighty.

Gang'an, the military assistant leader of the third battalion, took a step forward and shouted: "I recommend the rivers and mountains with my blood!" ”

"I recommend rivers and mountains with my blood!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Not far away, a group of birds were startled and circled and flew into the sky.
