Chapter 9: Digging the Foot of the Wall
After a few days, Wang Guorui found that this Hu Wei managed the army very well, and he actually managed military affairs in an orderly and meticulous manner. And Wang Guorui is almost open to him in other places except for the base. And the use of weapons was also taken out from the base, and then it took a big circle again to come to the barracks, so that it looked as if they were obtained from the outside. And Hu Wei asked where these weapons came from several times, but Wang Guorui just couldn't speak, and Hu Wei didn't have any good way.
Hu Wei inquired several times about where these weapons came from, but he didn't find out, and then he didn't want to. He was only concerned about the training of these armies, but the more he looked at them, the more terrifying he felt. Because this army is not only outrageously advanced in weapons, but also has a very good level of training. Training methods that he hadn't seen at all before, he could see them all here. Even he didn't expect that this simple and easy-to-learn method would have a great effect, which made him look at this so-called volunteer with admiration. If this level was all militia volunteers, then there would be no army in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty that could be used as a regular bureau.
Hu Wei inquired about the Red Police soldiers who were in charge of training several times, and those Red Police soldiers were all half-sticks and couldn't beat a fart, which made Hu Wei not depressed. When Hu Wei asked, these Red Guard soldiers replied "um", "oh", "oh", and the longer ones were "got it", "I'll do it". Anyway, these Red Guard soldiers were simply silent, repeating some words mechanically. This Hu Wei sometimes really wonders if it is a machine, and he actually goes back and forth with those words.
Hu Wei found that he had nothing to communicate with these Red Police soldiers, so he didn't say much. However, Hu Wei also began to like it here, because the army here has a high level of training and advanced weapons and equipment, don't look at the current level of a battalion at most, but if you pull out to fight the Manchu army, maybe you can defeat a 10,000-strong team of the Manchu Qing at one time, and if the terrain is good, then maybe you can wipe it out. This is the most terrifying thing, such advanced weapons and good military qualities, Hu Wei thinks that even the most powerful German army in the West is nothing more than that.
As an officer, the most important thing you want is to lead a strong army and then cross the battlefield. This Hu Wei is still very young and has a heart to serve the country. He has always been unwilling to be weak in the Manchu Qing since he was a child, so now that he sees this strong army, he has the idea of wanting to do well in this strong army. If this strong army can be developed, then there will be hope for the country. This made him very excited, and he now has the idea of staying here completely. But the only thing that worries him is that this army is only a temporary formation, belonging to the Volunteer Army, and once the war matters are properly resolved with the Japanese, this army will be disbanded.
"Perhaps, I should do something for this army!" Hu Wei suddenly muttered.
Wang Guorui received a message from Hu Wei, saying that he had something to discuss with him. And Wang Guorui also hurried over, this Hu Wei is his most important military assistant at present. He already knows too many secrets, but the only regret is that he has not yet fully returned to his heart. However, Chen Fei couldn't let him go, after all, he knew too much, and if he left casually and told these things, it would be troublesome.
"Wang Zhixian, I plan to write a few letters and ask some of my friends from Taiwan's Green Camp to come and work here, what do you think? I find that you lack qualified officers here, and those so-called officers are too reticent, and I think that although they are good at charging forward, they are too rigid in their minds to be suitable for the work of commanders. So I'm going to introduce some friends over and see how about you? Hu Wei asked.
And Wang Guorui said cautiously: "The officer of the Green Battalion, can you do it?" ”
Wang Guorui really doesn't worry about the officers of the Green Battalion, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Green Battalion is known all over the world, the officers are corrupt, the soldiers lack training, the weapons are backward, and the tactical thinking is outdated. So Wang Guorui still doesn't believe it very much, after all, in the memory of his previous life, the green camp is also a super scumbag, it is simply a "fish belly team", it is not good to fight, but the pit teammates are a group of good players. If they come to serve here, then I am afraid it is really worth doubting whether the combat effectiveness of their troops will decline. If they come, it will reduce the combat effectiveness of their army, so Wang Guorui might as well let them not come!
Hu Wei didn't get angry when he saw Wang Guorui's suspicions, because he also knew that the reputation of the green camp had been ruined, so he wouldn't be angry. For so many years, the whole country has known that the Green Camp is just a group of good hands at bullying the people, and they can't fight at all, and they have to run away when they encounter enemies, and they probably run away when they encounter foreigners, and they are useless at all.
"Wang Zhixian, my father is responsible for the management of the fifteen green battalions in Tainan, and I personally serve as the commander of one battalion. During this time, I visited all 15 battalions, and I knew which ones were suitable and which ones were rotten. I can guarantee that the people I will bring in are excellent. Although they don't have much firearms combat ability, I can guarantee that they are young, have flexible brains, and can learn if they can't. As for those ordinary soldiers of yours, they are not suitable for the post of senior officer. Hu Wei said.
Wang Guorui thought about it, and now he lacks experienced officers, and even more so natural person officers. None of the new recruits to the army were able to serve as officers, they had just completed their recruit training, and if they had served as officers, they would certainly not have been able to serve as officers. Although these officers of the Green Battalion were in charge of the old army, if they were really people with no vices, young and flexible brains, and quick to learn new tactics and new ideas, it was not completely impossible to agree to their appointment here. Anyway, I don't have an officer, so instead of going on like this, it's better to choose a general among the dwarves and pay attention to it. Anyway, Wang Guorui also thinks that ability can be cultivated, and you don't see that so many commanders of our party in later generations are from peasant workers, how can they have military education? Their www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion are actually inferior to these Green Battalion officers, and in the end, they all became generals and marshals. Therefore, if they can learn and train well, it is not impossible for them to become high-ranking officers. After all, the "university" of society is the one that can learn the most.
"Brother Hu Weitai, can you ask your friends from the Green Camp to bring more soldiers over? If you can get those friends to come, I'll first make sure that the number of troops will be almost the same. Of course, we are here according to the foreigners' establishment, and you may have to adapt to it then. As for if I can bring the troops over, then I can even give him a promotion. But I have to be careful, we don't want those bad soldiers with bad habits. Wang Guorui said.
Hu Wei asked again: "Can the soldiers in the back use these weapons?" ”
"I can guarantee that future soldiers will be able to use the same weapons!" Wang Guorui said.
"Then I'm sure they'll be tempted, after all, many people want to be able to lead such a powerful army!" Hu Wei said.
Next, Hu Wei began to write letters, and then prepared to hand them over to Wang Guorui, who then sent someone to deliver them. But Hu Wei didn't know that Wang Guorui didn't send the letter he wrote at the first time, but came to the Red Police Base.
"System, help me scan these letters with fluoroscopic light, I want to see what's written in them!" Wang Guorui said.
Soon, the letters were scanned by the base system, and the text was also transmitted to the screen. And Wang Guorui began to check the contents of these letters to avoid anything.
"Although some content has been revealed, it is still within the scope of what I can tolerate, and I have not crossed the line!" Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui actually didn't trust this Hu Wei completely, so he took his letter and scanned it. Wang Guorui did not open the package, after all, if it was opened, I am afraid that someone would know. Anyway, you have high technology, so why use such a backward means as unpacking? And although this Hu Wei revealed some things, they were all within the scope of Wang Guorui's permission.
"Next, let people send it out, I don't know how many people will be able to come!" Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui also hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to let those young and flexible Green Battalion officers come to serve, so as to make up for the lack of his own number of officers. Even, Wang Guorui hopes that those officers can bring some soldiers of decent quality. Now Wang Guorui has reached a bottleneck in recruiting soldiers in Hsinchu County, and Hsinchu County is no longer able to provide a sufficient number of soldiers. But Wang Guorui is not easy to take the initiative to recruit elsewhere, because in the Manchu officialdom, he is very particular about territory. If Wang Guorui goes to someone else's territory to recruit soldiers, I am afraid it will be another bad debt that is not clear. Therefore, Wang Guorui didn't dare to go to other places to recruit directly, that is, he thought of this kind of digging into the wall.
If you can dig some people out of someone else's army, you should be able to replenish a large part of your own army. Even, Wang Guorui also thinks that if those officers of the Green Battalion can be officers of the Green Battalion on the one hand, and then secretly recruit soldiers for themselves, then of course it would be good. If you can set up a recruitment network all over the island of Taiwan, it will be very beneficial to replenish your own troops.
