PS: The second update is here! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes! Depressed, the chapter at noon was released automatically, I didn't expect it to be reposted twice! I'm sorry, but thankfully this isn't a VIP chapter.

Wu Haoxuan handed over the preparation of industrial development to Davis. Davis has outstanding ability in this regard, let him go all out, Wu Haoxuan is also very relieved. His main work was still on the army.

Now the army in the hands of their father and son is no longer weak, which is equivalent to passing the initial dangerous period. However, compared to Wu Haoxuan's expectations. This is not enough for the army. The training battalions have begun to expand, and recruitment points have begun to be set up in other cities in Jilin and Changchun. In addition, the young and strong people who are displaced from the back of Shengjing City can also be recruited into the army. In the soldiers, there is no shortage.

According to Wu Xingquan's intentions, not only the instructor should become a troop of more than 18,000 people. The 20th town of the army and the 1st town of the Jilin army should also be expanded according to this standard. Although Wu Haoxuan is Wu Xingquan's son, his influence among Wu Xingquan's henchmen and generals is not too high. This expansion of the army was precisely the meeting that gave him a meeting to increase his influence.

On September 8, Wu Xingquan gathered his old subordinates, including Zhao Xifu, the deputy commander of the 30th town, Shi Deshan, the commander of the 1st town of the Jilin Army, and so on.

"Everyone, you are all my Wu Xingquan's elder brothers, to be honest, I never thought that I, Wu Xingquan, would have such a day and become the military and political governor of a province. However, my brothers have followed me Wu Xingquan for so many years, and I, Wu Xingquan, have never treated everyone badly. Happiness and hardship, this article will never change! Now, we have two towns in our hands, plus Haoxuan's troops, and in terms of military strength alone, there is no one in the entire Northeast who can compare with us.

However, we cannot be satisfied with this, we need to continue to work hard. Compared with Yuan Shikai, we are far behind! Compared with Lao Maozi and Little Japan, who are eyeing the Northeast, the gap is even greater. If you finally have such a piece of inheritance, how can you just throw it away? Therefore, in order to maintain our foundation, I have decided to expand the army once again.

As you know, I have no ability or culture, and I can have today, in addition to luck, I have a good son. Therefore, I am ready to hand over all the military affairs to Haoxuan to be responsible, and I will be responsible for the affairs of government affairs! You are my old brothers, I hope you can help Haoxuan more! ”

Wu Xingquan said to these henchmen with a solemn face. Although Wu Xingquan's ability is not outstanding, his emphasis on righteousness makes these henchmen very convinced of him.

Wu Haoxuan is only twenty years old now, and he is completely an out-and-out hairy boy. Wu Xingquan handed over the tens of thousands of troops in Jilin to Wu Haoxuan, which looks like nonsense no matter how you look at it. However, the series of expressions before the training camp had already made these generals realize Wu Haoxuan's ability. In terms of the method of training troops and the combat effectiveness of the troops, no one can compare with Wu Haoxuan.

The only thing Wu Haoxuan lacks is probably experience and qualifications. However, in Jilin, this qiē is not a problem. Today's China is still at the end of the feudal era, and it is natural for a son to inherit his father's business. Although Wu Haoxuan is a little younger, Wu Junsheng is not dead yet, and with him behind his back, naturally no one dares to object.

"The marshal, the young marshal is young and promising, and the teaching camp he set up can be said to have laid down Jilin for us. The young marshal is in charge of the army, I have no opinion! Shi Deshan, the commander of the 1st town of the Jilin Army, said first.

"I have no problem either! With the ability of the young marshal, I believe that it is completely possible to develop our army for the better! Zhao Xifu, deputy commander of the 30th town of the army, also said. Even if he still had doubts about Wu Haoxuan's ability, he could only hide it in his heart.

The two giants, Shi Deshan and Zhao Xifu, have expressed their positions, can anyone else say anything?

"Thank you uncles for your support to me, Haoxuan is still young, and I hope that your uncles can help me!" Wu Haoxuan is very humble.

Others naturally expressed their full support for Wu Haoxuan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you the expansion plan of the training camp! Originally, the training battalion was only about 1,100 people, and in my plan, it was just an infantry battalion.

Above the infantry battalion, there are also infantry regiments. The three infantry battalions formed a regiment with a regimental headquarters of more than 200 people, including communications, guard units, and so on. In addition, there was an artillery battery directly under the regiment, armed with 9 75-mm field guns. A cavalry company, a reconnaissance company, a baggage company, a regimental field hospital, and so on. The total strength was about 4,500 men.

Above the infantry regiment, there is an infantry division. One division has three regiments under its command, plus a division headquarters of more than 1,000 people. In addition, the artillery battalion directly under the division is armed with 36 105-mm light howitzers. A reconnaissance battalion, a cavalry battalion, a baggage battalion, a divisional field hospital, and so on. The total strength of the division is about 18,000 people! Wu Haoxuan introduced.

"There are more than 18,000 people in a division, this is a large number of troops!" Shi Deshan sighed. At the moment, these Chinese troops are all small formations. There are only more than 12,500 people in a town, and it is divided into two associations, each of which has two targets, and under each standard there are three battalions, and under each battalion are four teams, and under each team are three rows, and under each row are three sheds. It is equivalent to divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons and squads in the West, with a total of 7 levels. However, Wu Haoxuan's establishment lacks the brigade level. Each division is directly subordinate to three regiments.

"There are more than 4,500 people in one regiment, which is equivalent to a federation that we used to organize. Three regiments per division, plus the troops directly under it, are 6,000 more than one of our towns! Zhao Xifu also sighed.

"With the new formation, not only the number of armies has increased, but also the number of various weapons, especially artillery. This will make our troops more combat-ready. When the training of the troops is completed, I hope that one of our divisions will be able to defeat one of the Japanese divisions lightly. Even two divisions against the Japanese have the power to fight! Wu Haoxuan said with a firm face.

At this time, the Japanese army had more than 22,000 people in a standing division, 54 field artillery pieces, 18 heavy artillery pieces, and a total of 72 artillery pieces. Compared with the establishment of Wu Haoxuan's division, there are several more artillery pieces. Of course, the difference in numbers is more than four thousand people, and the artillery is a few less than a division of the Japanese Army, which is also understandable.

"Do you want to compare with the Japanese? In the past few years, the Japanese have developed at an astonishing pace! They defeated the Russians last year and have become one of the world powers! Shi Deshan exclaimed. Obviously, Wu Haoxuan's ambition had shocked him.

The rest of the people looked at Wu Haoxuan as if they were looking at a madman. After all, after the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the entire Northeast has already regarded the Japanese as a fierce enemy like jackals.

"The Japanese army was strong, but they lacked automatic weapons. In terms of infantry support firepower, we are far above them. The only gap between us is the tactics and the plain of the soldiers. However, this training is completely capable of improving. Wu Haoxuan said.

"What about Little Japan? Before the first day, they were just a bunch of clowns jumping off the beam. If it weren't for the weakness of the Manchus and their loss to them, they would not have been where they are today. We Chinese have never been worse than the Japanese. Now, after we have better weapons than the Japanese, will we still be afraid of them? Wu Xingquan said loudly that he had to cheer for Wu Haoxuan at this time.

"Dashuai is right, little Japan is not much better than us. We couldn't beat them before because we didn't have good weapons and training. Now that we have excellent weapons, as long as we strengthen our training, I don't believe that we are worse than little Japan! Shi Deshan said heavily.

The enthusiasm of the others was also aroused, and it was as if the fear of little Japan had been overcome all at once.

Wu Haoxuan knew that after Japan won the Russo-Japanese War, many people were afraid of Japan. However, he didn't want that kind of thing in his troops. This will undoubtedly put them in a disadvantageous position when fighting against small Japan in the future.

"Uncles, I assure you that in the future, the weapons of our army will only be more advanced than those of small Japan. As for the training, it will also start immediately after the expansion of the army. I hope that in a year's time, we will have a much stronger army than the Japanese Army! ”

Although, to surpass the Japanese Army in just one year, it is somewhat unlikely. However, this at least gave the generals hope.

Subsequently, under the auspices of Wu Haoxuan, arrangements were also made for the reorganization of the 30th town of the army and the 1st town of the Jilin army. The 30th Town of the Army and the 1st Town of the Jilin Army were all dispersed and reorganized according to the establishment of instructors. Wu Xingquan is still in charge of the 30th town, of course, this is only nominal. In the internal establishment of the Jilin Army, the number of the 30th town of the Army is the 2nd Division of the Jilin Army, and Zhao Xifu is the division commander.

After the reorganization of the troops, the Jilin Army will have three divisions, namely, the 1st Division of the Jilin Army, with Shi Deshan as the commander, the 2nd Division of the Jilin Army, with Zhao Xifu as the division commander, and the Jilin Army instructor as Wu Haoxuan. Wu Xingquan was promoted to commander-in-chief of the Jilin Army, and Wu Haoxuan was appointed deputy commander. As for the formation and training of the instructor, it is entrusted to the deputy division commander of the instructor, James, who is responsible for it.

Wu Haoxuan has completed his admission, and in a few months, James has gone from a West Point graduate to the deputy commander of a division.

Of course, at this army expansion meeting, Wu Haoxuan himself also initially established his position as the commander of the Jilin Army.
