The stubbornness of the Dutch such as Adams had long been expected, and they did not expect that they would immediately admit that they had been sent by the governor of Batavia.

If the other party admits it too quickly, it will make people even more aware that there is a problem, on the contrary, the more stubborn they are, the more everyone believes that the other party is sent by Fan Dimen.

However, none of this mattered, as long as they were sent to the mining plant and the natives to work for a month, it was estimated that they would soon voluntarily say everything that Chen Wenqing and the others wanted to know.

It doesn't really matter to the traversers whether or not Van Diemen sent these things, but everyone just needs to know a little bit, and these people can't be put back, at least not until Australia has developed enough strong force.

With the frequent foreign trade in the future and the preparation of the Christmas Island plan, Australia will definitely have a conflict with the outside in the foreseeable future, a regularized army is very necessary, under the promotion of the two military bigwigs, the regularization of the army has been put on the agenda, two paramilitary teams kicked off the prelude to reform, the plaque of the Security Department of the Manchester City Executive Committee has been replaced by the Ministry of War, and the plaque of the Internal Guard has been replaced by the National Guard.

In addition to the change in the names of the two teams, the biggest change is that the two teams will be more clear about their responsibilities from now on, and both will be managed by the newly established War Department, the main responsibility of the army is not only to patrol and garrison the border coastline, but also responsible for all foreign wars in Australia, and the task of the garrison is mainly to maintain local law and order in the country.

"Lads, you are honored to be a member of the Australian War Department, because from today onwards, whether you are in the Security Force or the Internal Guard, you will be recruited into the newly established War Department."

On the square in the middle of the street at the Manchester City base, the two top officers of the security team and the internal guard team, standing in front of the team members lined up in four rows, as Liu Dongshui, who had the highest rank before the crossing, made a speech first.

This kind of speech is a bit familiar to him, and he doesn't even need to write a manuscript, after all, he was also a regimental-level cadre before the crossing, which is much better than Chen Wenqing.

According to the internal framework of the newly established War Department, Liu Dongshui has become the commander of the War Department, and the military rank is currently set as major general, and Chen Wenqing is set at colonel, because the highest military rank he achieved before retiring is only lieutenant, which is not far worse than Liu Dongshui's colonel, and he needs to be learned in various internal management and coordinated operations, so at this stage he can only become Liu Dongshui's deputy. Comrade Chen, who has a high sense of consciousness on this point, has no opinion at all.

Although both teams belong to the Ministry of the Army, but the internal management is still relatively independent, the original internal guard force was officially renamed the garrison, the current number is set at 100 people, according to the future situation in the expansion, and the security team is also officially renamed the Australian Army, the number of people according to the current establishment set in a company, the reorganization basically determined that the ranks of the Australian Army adopt the Western system.

In order to ensure that the army is firmly in the hands of its own people, all the current senior officers in the army are basically held by the Crossing Public, of course, such as the rank below the Wei level is awarded to some immigrant boys.

Makarov became the first sergeant among the immigrants because he found that the Dutch had merit, and this guy did have a certain military quality, which Yu Shan was very dissatisfied with and complained like his friend Qiao.

"Damn Ma Da Monkey, he robbed himself of his own merits and became rich, Qiao Yan, look at it, one day I will trample him under my feet and let him run ten laps around the playground, no, it's a hundred laps." Yu Shan said viciously, completely ignoring that the object of his complaint was already standing behind him, and he didn't see it no matter how his friend was stunned.

"Very good, senior soldier Yu Shan, I support your lofty ideals, but according to the army law, what should I do if I slander and talk about my superiors during my duty."

"If the circumstances are serious, the reputation of the superior is damaged or the work is obstructed, and the case will be brought to a military court." Yu Shan heard the question on his back, and naturally memorized the army law, and then felt that something was wrong, the voice of this question was clearly a big monkey, and he knew that it was bad when he saw his friend's expression.

"Head, you're here, congratulations on your promotion to sergeant." Yu Shan said with a smile on his face.

"Well, Yu Shan, you idiot, you are actually talking about the chief behind your back, now there is good news and bad news to tell you, originally I planned to mention you as the squad leader, but now because of your slander I decided to punish you somewhat, so the bad news is that you have become the deputy squad leader. Qiao Yan, from today onwards, the class leader will be you. ”

"No, head, you can't bring it to work because of personal grievances, it's a serious violation of military discipline, and I'm going to court martial to sue you." Yu Shan tried to use a military court to scare Makarov, but Makarov knew that the other party was just saying that he would not really go.

"Okay Yu Shan, now I order you to return to your class quickly, otherwise you will only be a senior soldier."

Looking at Yu Shan, who quickly ran back to the barracks, Makarov was very satisfied, once upon a time he could become an officer even as a Polish farmer.

An example like Makarov's can only be counted as an example, after all, the existing army has not yet reached the point where many non-commissioned officers are needed, and he is just a dream erected by the War Department as a model of new recruits, so that more immigrants can see that the new world of soldiers is different from the international in which they used to work.

Therefore, Makarov is also considered shit luck, because the army needs to expand, and the existing immigrants are young and strong and unwilling to become soldiers, so it is necessary to set such a successful example for everyone to see.

With the implementation of the Christmas Island plan and the establishment of the embassy in Batavia, an armed force was needed to protect it, so the regularization of the army was also in response to the needs of the upcoming expansion. In addition to the more regularization of the army, the new army and navy law also makes it clear that active military personnel are not allowed to participate in politics, which is to avoid the military interfering in politics in the future.

In this regard, Zhou Aiguo also specially called Liu Dongshui, Chen Wenqing, and Wang Tiehammer together to ask their opinions, the first two are easy to say, and the latter Wang Tiehammer, as the highest military commander of the navy, also has the status of a member of the executive committee, and is the number two person in the current executive committee, if this new ** army and navy law does not have his support, it will be difficult to implement.

Wang Tiehammer also seems to understand that he has only one choice this time, either to give up the status of the supreme commander of the Navy, or to continue to serve as a member of the Executive Committee, as the existence of the second person, but with the expansion of the Manchester City base in the future and the reform of the Executive Committee, it is foreseeable whether he can continue to be a member of the committee.

However, the top military commander of the navy is different, no matter how the future changes, his own history as a rich naval career cannot be replaced by others, and it is Wang Tiezhu who has set an example in order to support the implementation of the new law, voluntarily giving up his post as a member of the committee and becoming a real soldier.
