Volume 1 The End of the World Chapter 92 Collecting Wealth (II)

After simply dealing with the backlog, Wu Ming and his brothers devoted all their energy to training and selection.

Although there were many good seedlings among the 520 officers and soldiers brought back by the second battalion commander Chen Zhaoxian, Wu Ming was extremely blushing. However, in order to take care of Chen Zhaoxian's emotions, Wu Ming only transferred 50 people from them to each company directly under him, and gave priority to the second battalion in the distribution of equipment and training plans, so that the training of Chen Zhaoxian's battalion could be carried out rapidly.

Although the more than 200 young bandits brought back from northeastern Jiangxi had no military discipline at all, and they could not distinguish between the left and right feet well after three days of training, most of them were elite soldiers with extremely strong martial arts.

Wu Ming didn't say a word, he selected 100 people from them and allocated them to Lu Kuiyuan, the commander of the spy company, and the rest went to the physical fitness and skill test for two days with the other 800 brothers, and then selected 100 people to enrich the machine gun company directly under them, and handed over the rest to the first battalion for selection.

After the replenishment was completed, he immediately led his troops to the Phoenix Mountain base to carry out training and facility construction, and made all preparations for the arrival of the brothers in the first and second battalions.

With the departure of the two infantry battalions and the engineer company, only 800 brothers were left in the Quzhou Chengbei battalion, including the special service company, the machine gun company, the baggage company, and the health team, which were directly under the regimental headquarters.

On 28 July, the education group of the Central Party Headquarters stationed in the camp and the party cadres of various provinces who had come to report for duty one after another were surprised to find that in the spacious and clean barracks, every bed covered with a brand-new bamboo mat had a neatly folded imported thin blanket and a beautiful bamboo pillow.

On the neat and clean table of each barracks, there are two rows of brand-new enamel basins, in which there are beautiful enamel tea pots, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and other daily necessities.

Such thoughtful and thoughtful arrangements have greatly surprised and appreciated the party affairs cadres from all provinces across the country and the officials of the Central Party Training Corps.

Director Xu Enzeng, the person in charge of the training course, visited the entire camp and was full of praise for Lu Zhongxiu, commissioner of the Quzhou Administrative Bureau, and Fang Youchun and Tang Yuntao, chief and deputy commanders of the Security Command.

Lu Zhongxiu and Fang Youchun were overjoyed, and after a little discussion, they immediately made a decision, and the Quzhou Administration once again allocated special funds to build a small shooting training ground and an indoor training venue on the open space north of the ordnance warehouse in the western district of Daying, so as to facilitate military training for party cadets and police trainees in Quzhou.

As soon as Wu Ming received the 150,000 yuan allocation from the Quzhou Administration and the Headquarters, he quietly called the Belgian Foreign Company in Shanghai and ordered 800 Czech Vz24 rifles, 20 Czech ZB26 light machine guns, and 50 Zeiss military binoculars.

On the day of the official opening of the party affairs training class, Chen Lifu, director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and Gu Jianzhong, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Department, attended the grand opening ceremony, and 500 party cadres from all provinces across the country gathered together to begin a three-month study session.

Among the various training programs set up by the Central Party Department, confidential and radio service training is the most important; more than 10 professional teachers are well-known professionals in the country, and 150 trainees will undergo three months of systematic study and training in the camp; Wu Ming, who has been received by Chen Lifu and Xu Enzeng many times in the past few days, has successfully stuffed seven of his carefully selected young staff officers into the confidential and radio training courses, and has also obtained two German Siemens radio stations specially approved by Chen Lifu.

Wu Ming also reciprocated the favor by urgently tailoring new training uniforms for 500 trainees from various provinces, two sets of military hats and military shoes for each person, and three meals a day, both Chinese food and dinner, were full of fish and meat, and they were delicious and of high quality and quantity, and the officials, teachers, and all the students of the Central Education Corps were full of praise for this, claiming that they had never encountered such a meticulous and thoughtful reception, and almost everyone was full of gratitude to the military and political departments in western Zhejiang.

In the first basic military skills training that began two weeks later, Wu Ming, who was appointed as the chief instructor of military skills, once again made a big sacrifice, took out 500 of the two batches of Colt military pistols imitated by the Ordnance Institute, and engraved on the body of the guns the exquisite inscription "Quzhou Training Course of the Central Party Headquarters, August 21st of the Republic of China", together with the exquisite holster and two spare magazines, and presented them to each trainee as a gift.

This generous gesture immediately sparked a huge response.

After receiving a phone call from Xu Enzeng and Zhou Wenyan, Chen Lifu, the head of the organization department who had returned to Nanjing, was full of emotion and told Xu Enzeng, the head of the training class, and Zhou Wenyan, the director of the education, to increase their support for Fang Youchun, and to give more support to Fang Youchun and Wu Ming if conditions permitted.

Fang Youchun, who enjoyed tangible benefits without worrying about anything, was calm and indifferent on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart, Wu Ming did not behave any different from before, he was still as humble and peaceful as usual, and appeared on the training ground every day, conscientious and meticulous.

What is of interest to the education group of the Central Party Department and all the trainees is that there seems nothing unusual about the training of the companies directly under Wu Ming's command; the five-kilometer fully armed cross-country that cannot be shaken every morning is full of monotonous and boring queue training in the morning and afternoon, and every night except Saturday, each company holds a two-hour study and summary discussion on internal affairs on time, and there is nothing brilliant about it, which greatly disappoints many people who have been famous for Wu Ming's method of leading troops for a long time.

The days passed, except for taking a week off to Changshan to hold a low-key wedding, Wu Ming never left the barracks for a day, and most people didn't even know the news of Wu Ming's marriage, let alone Wu Ming's low-key wedding, and he actually accepted a gift of up to 300,000 yuan.

Three months later, the first batch of trainees of the training class of the Central Party Department graduated and a graduation ceremony was held in the large playground of the military camp in the north of the city.

The officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, who rushed back to the battalion from the Phoenix Mountain base, together with the companies directly under them, showed the results of the training over the past three months to more than 100 military and political officials and all the trainees, including Xu Enzeng, Gu Jianzhong, Lu Zhongxiu, Fang Youchun, and Tang Yuntao.

The neat and uniform formation, the military discipline of the orders and prohibitions, the vigorous morale of the officers and men, and the superb technical and tactical level of the officers and men once again caused a sensation, and all doubts were dispelled, and Wu Ming's ability was once again unanimously praised by all parties.

Wu Ming, who successfully completed the show, was secretly happy in his heart, in just three months, he got a net income of more than 30,000 oceans from the training class, and he still made money after deducting the cost of all the gifts he gave away, not only earned enough face for Lu Zhongxiu and Fang Youchun, the two Shangguan, but also made a reputation for the two kinds of pistols imitated by his ordnance, the clothing backpack produced by the clothing factory, and the knives and steel helmets produced by the metal products factory, and opened up sales.
