Chapter 102: Graduation Season
At the Qingpu Military Academy in May, the students of the first and second phases practiced at the same time, and the whole school was a lot more lively.
According to the school's plan, the number of students in the third phase will increase to 2,400 in January next year.
Another 2,400 students will be enrolled, a total of nearly 5,000, which is also the limit of the existing school building to accommodate students.
These days, the Socialist Party is recruiting and buying arms everywhere and establishing its own armed forces.
After the topographical class that afternoon, Xie Niancheng returned to the dormitory and sorted out the military appearance -- he was informed at noon that the principal, Jiang Wei, would see him alone today.
When he arrived at the principal's office, Xie Niancheng used to be a standard military salute: "Student Xie Niancheng, I have met President Jiang." β
Xie Niancheng's childishness disappeared after five months of tempering, and was replaced by a vigorous and heroic spirit.
People are judged by their appearance, Jiang Wei was very satisfied when he saw Xie Niancheng in front of him.
"Okay, Xie Niancheng, you are worthy of being a student of my Qingpu Military Academy! Like a revolutionary soldier, sit down. "This Zhejiang accent sounds pretty good.
"Thank you, Headmaster!" Xie Niancheng sat upright.
Jiang Wei said: "Nian Cheng, your first batch of students will graduate next month, what are the plans of the students?" What are your personal plans? β
According to the principal, most of the students expressed their willingness to join the Chinese Revolutionary Army in Guangzhou...... There are also a few who said that they would return to their hometowns to join the army or not join the army...... Personally, I would like to join the revolutionary army. β
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and I welcome those students who are willing to join the army in Guangzhou...... Nian Cheng, do you have specific ideas about your future? β
"I want to lead the troops."
Jiang Wei felt a little regretful in his heart, he actually hoped that Xie Niancheng could stay in the headquarters and stay by his side. If you can get Xie Niancheng's allegiance, it will be a few wins with one stone:
Xie Niancheng himself is one of the best talents in the first phase of Qingpu students, this is one of them;
The development momentum of Xie Group is getting better and better, and he can get the support of Xie Group, and he also has a little more strength, which is the second;
digging up Xie Niancheng can hit the competitor Wang Zhongzheng, which is the third;
The students around Xie Niancheng are all very good among the first batch of students in Qingpu, and if they win Xie Niancheng, they will also win those students, which is the fourth.
"It's good to lead the troops, I see your ability, you can be a deputy battalion commander directly, how about it, do you have confidence?"
Jiang Wei gave the biggest chip he could give.
At present, the Socialist Party has recruited more than 5,000 qualified soldiers, and it plans to set up two training regiments, an artillery battalion, and some other auxiliary units after the first batch of Qingpu students graduate.
Most of the graduates of the military academy can only be assigned to the position of platoon commander, and there are not many who can directly become company commanders.
Showing his chips, Jiang Wei paid attention to Xie Niancheng's reaction.
Xie Niancheng was neither happy nor frightened, raised his head and replied, "Thank you for the principal's attention...... However, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to do it. β
Jiang Wei also knew that with such an arrangement, he would not be able to convince the public, but in order to attract Xie Niancheng, he couldn't pay this price: "Niancheng, I believe in your ability, you are the deputy battalion commander, there is no problem." β
Xie Niancheng was speechless, got up and said, "Thank you for the cultivation!" β
Jiang Wei patted Xie Niancheng's shoulder with satisfaction: "Niancheng, the future of the Chinese Revolutionary Army is yours." β
Xie Niancheng came out of the principal's office and met his old acquaintance Luo Wenxuan.
Luo Wenxuan greeted: "Brother Xie, hurry, hurry, Director Wang is looking for you." β
Wang Zhongzheng, who served as chairman of the Socialist Party after returning from Fuling in Beijing, is different from Jiang Wei, who comes to the military academy when he has time, while Wang Zhongzheng only comes once every 10 days and a half months.
The two of them attach different importance to the military academy, which directly leads to the political pattern in which the majority of the cadets are obviously poor workers and peasants, but on the contrary, the Yangtze River Society has the upper hand.
When he arrived at Wang Zhongzheng's office, Wang Zhongzheng's attitude was better than Jiang Wei's, and he directly pulled Xie Niancheng to sit side by side on the sofa.
"Nian Cheng, you are about to graduate, what do you think?"
Xie Niancheng said: "Principal Jiang just talked to me about this issue just now, and said that after graduation, he would directly let me be the deputy battalion commander. β
Wang Zhongzheng said in his heart, surnamed Jiang, you are ruthless enough, let a newly graduated student be the deputy battalion commander?
Wang Zhongzheng asked: "Nian Cheng, we don't need to talk to each other, are you willing to do this deputy battalion commander he arranged?" β
Xie Niancheng shook his head: "I don't want to." β
This is Xie Niancheng's heartfelt words, he didn't go to military school to seek refuge with anyone, his purpose has never changed, one is to study military affairs by himself, and the other is to find talents, not to work hard for others.
"And what are your plans?"
Xie Niancheng said slowly: "Director Wang, then I'll tell the truth...... I want to bring my own soldiers. β
Wang Zhongzheng knew that there were a lot of people in the anti-smuggling team, and he also knew that Xie Niancheng had a group of people on the road, but he was still stunned by Xie Niancheng's thoughts, did he lead the troops himself?
After all, after Zhu Changjiang's death, many situations have changed, and he cannot afford to be imprudent, but after all, he is now one of the three giants in the party, and he also has a deep understanding of the importance of the military.
"Nian Cheng, how many soldiers do you want to bring?"
"A battalion...... I want the number of a battalion, recruit myself, bring it myself. β
Wang Zhongzheng knew that Xie Niancheng was not a big talker, and he also knew that the Xie Group had made a lot of money, and even he knew that the Xie family and the Kong family were now mysteriously getting together to do business, but he still expressed some doubts about Xie Niancheng's appetite.
"Nian Cheng, do you know how much it costs to form a battalion? If you recruit and bring your own troops, the government will not give you a penny. β
Xie Niancheng nodded: "A battalion of about five hundred people will cost about 100,000 oceans. β
Hearing Xie Niancheng report this number, Wang Zhongzheng knew that Xie Niancheng was really prepared. During Xie Niancheng's time at the military academy, he never joined the Youth Army Association, but in fact, he also made it clear to Wang Zhongzheng that he would not join him.
Although Wang Zhongzheng tried hard to develop his influence in the military academy, Jiang Wei had been planning for a long time, and all the senior officers in the newly established instructor were Jiang Wei's people. Wang Zhongzheng was able to control the cadets of the Youth Army Association, and when the army was established, he could only serve as a low-level officer.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongzheng said his idea: "Nian Cheng, how about we continue to cooperate?" β
Xie Niancheng asked, "What kind of cooperation method?" β
"The current plan for building the army is to form two teaching regiments, how about we form another regiment? You bring one battalion yourself, and I will draw soldiers from the anti-smuggling corps, and the cadets of the Youth Army Association will serve as officers to form two battalions...... The commander of this regiment is up to you. β
This news is the first time Xie Niancheng has heard it.
From this point of view, Wang Zhongzheng also understands the importance of the barrel of the gun.
However, let yourself be the head of the regiment, then forget it. Xie Niancheng has always been self-aware of himself, and in the past few months in the military academy, he often played games such as wargame deduction with Xu Geng and his gang, and he lost more and won less. He understands that he has little talent in tactics.
In front of Xu Geng, Peng De, and Su Huaiyu, he can use some advanced military concepts to fool, and then say something "I'm just a handsome talent, unlike you who are just generals" to fill the faΓ§ade, but he himself knows that it is enough to make him a battalion commander now, and he is really incompetent to be a regiment commander.
Xie Niancheng replied: "I'll just be a battalion commander, and you'd better find someone else, regiment commander." β
Wang Zhongzheng thought about it, he had some connections with the Guangdong army, and it was no problem to find a few suitable senior officers, "Okay, then it's decided, you will come here to be a battalion commander when the time comes." β
"Thank you, Director Wang, for cultivating!" Xie Niancheng said goodbye to Wang Zhongzheng.
After all, Wang Zhongzheng is now the nominal chairman of the Socialist Party, and his words still carry a lot of weight, although Wang Wei, Song Kai and others extremely do not want Wang Zhongzheng to intervene in the army, but Wang Zhongzheng's words can no one object:
"The more troops we directly subordinate to the better, two infantry regiments are really too few, I think of a way, find another regiment of personnel and equipment, and form one more regiment, won't the revolutionary force be stronger?"
No matter how Jiang Wei scolded "Niang Xipi" in his heart, he could only agree to set up the third teaching group.
The scale of the final army has also been raised by one level, and the first army instructor of the Chinese Revolutionary Army will be established under the three-three system!
On the day he learned the news, Xie Niancheng called a group of people to a big tree next to the big school field.
"Everyone, I came to you today because I have something important to discuss with you."
Xie Niancheng, who usually always laughs, is extremely strict today, and all the dead friends are also serious, waiting for Xie Niancheng's next step.
"I got a number for the reorganization of the troops next month, are you willing to come to my troops and follow me?"
The crowd didn't quite understand.
Xu Geng asked, "What do you mean, Lao Xie?" What number did you get? Are you our mentor? Can you still arrange for us? β
Xie Niancheng punched Xu Geng, "I can't be the division commander, but I am barely qualified to be the battalion commander...... Come to my battalion, at least a deputy company commander, how about it? β
Xie Niancheng began to introduce the situation on his side, and when everyone heard it, they looked at each other, and they were all a little moved.
The battalion that Xie Niancheng described to them would be a super battalion with three infantry companies, a machine gun company, an artillery company, and an engineer company.
Not only did the battalion have six companies, but each company was larger than an ordinary company. The number of people is not over, and the weapons are all made in Germany!
For a soldier, being able to lead such a unit is a huge ** in itself.
What's more, after half a year, these people also have deep feelings for each other.
Huang Xue was the first to say: "Lao Xie, I believe in you, I am willing to follow you!" β
Wu Yongqiang followed up and said: "I am also willing!" β
In the end, only Xu Geng didn't speak, and in everyone's strange eyes, Xu Geng spoke: "That, Lao Xie, I want to be the battalion commander, just one day, let me have a good time, okay?" β
"Cutβ"
The group mocking mode is on, and no matter how thick-skinned Xu Geng is, he can't resist it.
