Chapter 18 Doubling of the number of trainees
Lin Daxin took 180 new students who joined the Sailor School and went to private schools to learn how to read and write, and began training in a piece of saline-alkali land that had been leveled. Lin Daxin called the team of 180 new students the teaching team.
Looking at the loose new students in front of him, Lin Daxin had to start training from the queue first, although these 180 people in the Qing Dynasty went to private school and were also considered elites, but it was just a queue and standing military posture, and it took nearly a month to practice, and these 180 people could neatly make the most basic actions of resting, standing upright, turning in place, stepping in unison, and running, and finally reached Lin Daxin's requirements and achieved neatness.
Lin Daxin also personally took the students of the teaching team to do physical training, such as 5km cross-country running, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and other physical exercises.
Lin Daxin also stipulated the internal affairs regulations and disciplinary regulations of the Sailor School.
During this period, Lin Daxin returned to modern time and space, and spent 50 million yuan to buy the first batch of counterfeit coins from Cheng Jianhua, including 20 million counterfeit coins in British pounds, US dollars, francs, Japanese yen, German marks, and Russian rubles before 1890.
After being transported back to the Qing Dynasty, Lin Daxin exchanged counterfeit currency for more than 8 million taels of silver from foreign foreign companies in Shanghai. Almost all the foreign foreign firms in Shanghai were exchanged for silver.
In this way, Lin Daxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, in the Qing Dynasty, he finally had no shortage of money, the original fakes and coins were taken to South America by Jiang Hui, Sun Xitao and Jerson, and he ordered the machine and weapons from the British and German foreign companies but only paid the deposit, and now with the continuous support of counterfeits and coins in modern time and space, Lin Daxin himself has the confidence to create a big scene.
The only worry is that a large number of counterfeit and currency will enter the market, which can eventually attract the attention of those six countries and bring hidden worries to Lin Daxin, but now that the first day is getting closer and closer, Lin Daxin can't take care of it.
Germany's Lihe & Foreign Company sent two assistants from General Manager Hansen to Weihaiwei and brought Lin Daxin a quotation for the arsenal.
Lin Daxin read the quotation and did not hesitate for long, and negotiated an arsenal contract worth 1.5 million pounds with two Germans from Lihe Foreign Bank.
The contract included a gun plant capable of producing M1888 rifles, Mauser revolvers and Gatling rotary machine guns, a gun factory capable of producing 75 mm field guns and 75 mm mountain guns, a gun factory capable of producing rifle cartridges, machine gun cartridges and pistol cartridges, a shell factory capable of producing 75 mm artillery shells, and a gunpowder plant capable of producing new smokeless explosives and T'n'T.
Lin Daxin paid a deposit of 150,000 pounds for the contract of the arsenal.
As for Lin Daxin's desire to buy German warships, the German Admiralty is now studying it, and when there is clear news from Germany, Han Sen, the general manager of Lihe Foreign Bank, will personally come to Weihaiwei to talk to Lin Daxin.
In addition, two Germans from Lihe Foreign Company brought a part of Lin Daxin's order for arms, which was mobilized by Lihe Foreign Company from branches all over Southeast Asia, with a total of 2,000 M1888 rifles and 1 million rounds of rifle ammunition.
This allowed Lin Daxin to equip 180 trainees with guns and conduct shooting training.
As for other arms, the inventory in Germany is not enough to pay Lin Daxin's order immediately, so it will wait for the newly produced arms in Germany to be shipped together. However, it will not take long, according to Germany's domestic production capacity, in three months, all the arms will arrive in Weihaiwei.
Within three months, the equipment of the arsenal will also arrive in Weihaiwei together. At the same time, Lin Daxin asked Lihe to help invite instructors and factory technology to come to Weihaiwei along with arms and equipment.
Jardine Matheson in the United Kingdom also sent someone to contact Lin Daxin, telling Lin Daxin that the equipment of the ten factories he customized will also arrive in the next three months, and he hopes that Lin Daxin is ready to accept and prepare the balance of the equipment. Moreover, 300 British technicians will also come to Weihaiwei with the equipment, hoping that Lin Daxin will prepare a place to arrange these technicians.
In this way, Lin Daxin asked Yu Fu, the chief teacher of the Sailor Academy, to take other new students and hired migrant workers to start building the sites of eleven factories, including the arsenal, around Beigou Village.
These eleven factories occupy a lot of land, if it weren't for the recruitment of a lot of new students, I don't know if the eleven factories can be built before the equipment is shipped, as a result, Lin Daxin told Yu Fu to build eleven factories and buildings within a few days, Yu Fu came to tell Lin Daxin, the buildings of the eleven factories have been almost built.
Lin Daxin was surprised, how can the speed be so fast, the eleven factories he designed are not small projects!
At this time, Yu Fu explained to Lin Daxin that when Lin Daxin was focusing on the training of 180 new trainees, the green battalion soldiers of the 38 green battalion squads had returned from all over Shandong.
Because Lin Daxin's treatment of the students of the Sailor Academy is too generous, but the 38 green battalion soldiers of the green battalion team have brought back nearly 30,000 people from all over Shandong, plus they have seen the notice of the Sailor Academy to recruit students to Weihaiwei Sailor School to sign up, and the 8,000 people who have been recruited before, and now the entire Sailor Academy has recruited more than 40,000 new students, in addition to recruiting nearly 15,000 people who are willing to work in the factory.
With so many people together, coupled with the cement that Lin Daxin transported from modern time and space, the speed of construction is very fast.
Now that the student dormitory of the Sailor Academy has been built, and the factory building has also been built, it is time to train the soldiers.
Lin Daxin said to a young man in a black military uniform beside him: "Wu Peifu, Zhao Hu, you go and let the teaching team gather!" Now it's time to give what I gave you to the other students! ”
This young man is Wu Peifu, Lin Daxin found a student named Wu Peifu in the teaching team, Lin Daxin asked Wu Peifu about his situation, Lin Daxin is basically sure that this Wu Peifu is Wu Peifu, the leader of the direct warlord in history.
In history, Wu Peifu was the most capable of fighting among the Beiyang warlords, and Wu Peifu adhered to three beliefs throughout his life: not to collect money, not to take concubines, and not to enter the concession after being disappointed. He did all three. After he was frustrated, Japan was willing to provide him with funds and firearms to support his comeback, but he sternly refused.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Peifu actively made suggestions for the Anti-Japanese War, although he was trapped in the Japanese-occupied area, but he would never be in the same stream with the Japanese puppet, and then during the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Peifu suffered from dental disease and found a Japanese dentist to see a doctor, and the Japanese dentist was ordered by the Japanese spy leader Kenji Dohihara to murder Wu Peifu.
Lin Daxin attaches great importance to Wu Peifu's character and military talents, since he is now under his command, Lin Daxin can't let go of such talents, and Wu Peifu is also very good in training, so Lin Daxin appointed Wu Peifu as one of the captains of the teaching team.
Hearing Lin Daxin's words, Wu Peifu and Zhao Hu, who was also one of the captains of the teaching team, snapped, and their feet were together, and at the same time they said loudly: "Yes!" Headmaster! ”
Then there was a "snap", and at the same time they turned backwards in place, and then the two trotted out.
It turned out that the 180 students of the teaching team just called Lin Daxin an adult, and Lin Daxin felt that there was a distance between him and the students, so he asked the students of the teaching team to call themselves the principal!
In the huge campus of the Weihai Weishui Division School in Beiyang, more than 40,000 new students are wearing camouflage uniforms and standing on the largest playground in the campus, wearing a black military uniform and black high leather shoes, and wearing a black tweed coat, Lin Daxin led 180 students of the teaching team into the playground.
The trainees of the teaching team were all wearing a set of black military uniforms and black high leather shoes, wearing dark green steel helmets on their heads, holding M1888 rifles tightly in their hands, and marching in a phalanx with neat steps, "popping-" to the edge of the playground, where a blue brick and cement platform similar to a review stand was built.
This set of military uniforms is the military uniform of the German SS during World War II customized by Lin Daxin in modern time and space, with only slight changes in some details, and the black high leather shoes worn by the three of them are the combat shoes used by the troops in modern time and space, and the steel helmet is also a customized German steel helmet during World War II.
