Tang Wei, who has served as the general staff of the Blackwater Staff Headquarters for a long time, is said to be transferred back to China, and the Army Command of the Ministry of National Defense has officially appointed him as the chief instructor of the Australian First Cavalry Company and awarded him the rank of colonel.

The news has only begun to circulate within the army, and has not spread quickly.

The formation of cavalry has always been Tang Wei's dream, the main reason for the purpose of leaving Australia with Jiang Junbo to establish Heishui is to raise funds for the cavalry company, and now it is close to three years, relying on the capital accumulation of Heishui, there is no problem at all to establish a cavalry company.

In order to establish a cavalry company in Australia, which is also a rapid mobile combat unit, Tang Wei began preparations a year ago, as the Ministry of Defense expounded on the importance of establishing a cavalry company.

In addition, it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the enemy can completely land from any landing point, so before the construction of the Ring Railway, the role of cavalry was very huge, and it can even be said that it played a key role in combat patrol.

A cavalry company needs about 200 people, which is under the blue light of full strength, but from the current situation, the instructions given by the Ministry of Defense are that the first phase of personnel is set at 100 people, and the Ministry of Defense has approved the construction funds.

Through the introduction of Arabian horses from the Spaniards and the Dutch, the number of horses used by the Australian cavalry company has reached fifty, which is already very difficult and valuable for Tang Wei.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to donate 100,000 yuan as a fund for the formation of the cavalry company, I am afraid that it would have been several years before the Ministry of Defense approved the construction.

The Ministry of National Defense is funded by government grants, and the government is now financially austere in all its investments, not to mention the construction of a cavalry company that is not of great significance. Moreover, in their opinion, once the construction of the Ring Australia Railway is completed, the troops can completely patrol by train.

Private capital, which has been advocating the development of the Rim-Australia Railway, has submitted proposals to the Parliament on many occasions, hoping that the Parliament will increase its efforts to relax development and involve private capital.

Private capital to participate in the development of railways, which sounded a bit absurd before, but for the current crossing of the public, Australian domestic capital is divided into public and private capital. The two major capital systems compete with each other, and this has been around since the beginning.

No matter how the two capitals compete, they can't stop the formation of the cavalry company. The tall and sturdy Arabian horses had arrived ashore two weeks earlier, and the recruitment of cavalry had been completed.

Some of these people come from the police or active army units, but it will take until specific training to determine whether they can become a qualified cavalryman.

Although the number of people has exceeded 100, many of them are retained in their original units or units, and those who are newly recruited will be transferred to the army units, or the police and garrison if they are not selected.

Tang Wei's position within Blackwater remains unchanged, but it is certain in the next six months. His management of the black level will definitely be reduced, after all, there are still a lot of things to deal with when the cavalry company is newly built.

The newly formed cavalry company was stationed ten kilometres northwest of Manchester on a natural pasture that had originally belonged to a state-owned agricultural group. However, it was requisitioned by a borrowing order from the Ministry of Defense, and it is probably unknown whether the Ministry of Defense will give money in accordance with the treaty.

In the current state of the Ministry of Defense, it will largely be repaid. But fortunately, this is not the main land of the agricultural group, which originally planned to open up a pasture here to graze cattle and sheep. However, due to financial constraints, the land has not been used since it was acquired.

At this time, the cavalry company was stationed, and it could already be seen that the indigenous laborers recruited from the construction site had begun to build the stables with trees and straw, and the soldiers' houses were also being built.

The more than 130 reservists who had been recruited had already assembled at this time, and in order to cultivate their spirit of hardship and hard work, they had been required to be stationed here since the day before yesterday, and they had all eaten and slept here.

Not far from the construction site, on a green grass, more than a dozen large tents were erected, and soldiers could be seen training not far away.

Although their instructor Tang Wei has not yet officially taken office, the physical training of the soldiers has begun, and the month-long physical training will eliminate a group of people, and there is also one of the most important training riding skills, the key of the cavalry is that the riding skills must be good.

As a soldier who fights on horseback, he must not only have good riding skills, but also have the necessary skills such as using weapons immediately, otherwise he cannot be regarded as a qualified cavalryman.

After Tang Wei received the appointment, he finished handing over the work at hand and gave Heishui to Jiang Junbo safely, he was not worried that anything would go wrong, Heishui's staff headquarters had a strict development and combat plan, even without the two of them, they could continue to run as usual.

So Jiang Junbo jokingly said when he sent Tang Wei, "Otherwise, I will also go to your cavalry company to take a position in the future, the cavalry feels very handsome, but with your weight, don't be crushed by horses." ”

Regarding his friend's joke, Tang Wei smiled: It's about to lose weight, and this weight does have to be lost a little.

Unlike Jiang Junbo, who often goes deep into the battlefield, Tang Wei's job is mainly responsible for behind-the-scenes planning, etc., so his weight has not decreased much compared to when he crossed, on the contrary, it has increased a little.

This is simply torture for a fat man, especially since he is about to become the commander of the cavalry company, and if he does not lose weight, he will probably become a joke.

Bidding farewell to Blackwater City and returning to Manchester City, Tang Wei was waiting there with the carriage of the Army Headquarters on the ship, and first received him to the Shangri-La Hotel for a reception, and then went to the VIP reception room of the Ministry of National Defense to discuss the construction and development of the cavalry company in the future.

The main purpose is that the Ministry of Defense wants to know how much combat effectiveness this team can have, and whether it can be used in overseas operations in the future, which is very important, the situation in the Ming Dynasty has become more and more unstable, and the possibility of Australia sending troops in the future is too great, so the Ministry of Defense is not very concerned about this issue.
