PS: The second update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes! Thank you for the reward of the lonely son of the poor road!

Wu Haoxuan Zhao Ming this time there were more than 1,500 people, and he planned to organize these more than 500 people into 7 recruit companies, and after training and brutal elimination, there were about four companies left, as well as the battalion headquarters and other battalions directly under the troops. In this case, the total strength of the entire infantry battalion is more than 1,100 people.

An infantry battalion consisted of four infantry companies, plus an artillery platoon armed with six 80-mm mortars. After the successful development of the 120-mm heavy mortar, it will be replaced by a 120-mm heavy mortar. In this case, the infantry support firepower will be unprecedentedly increased. In addition, there are reconnaissance platoons and other units.

James had no objection to this, he was well aware of the performance of the weapons produced by the arsenal created by Wu Haoxuan in the United States, and even laughed and said that the infantry battalion they established should be the best equipped infantry battalion in the whole of China.

Of course, judging by the number of people, it is already a third more than a battalion of the Beiyang Army. Judging from the firepower, Wu Haoxuan's infantry battalion is far above the Beiyang Army.

Of course, the Beiyang Army has been in the army for many years, and all kinds of training are carried out by hiring foreign instructors. Although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the armies of foreign powers, there is no domestic army that can compare with it. The infantry battalion established by Wu Haoxuan, if it wants to confront the Beiyang Army, it will take a long time to accumulate.

When Wu Haoxuan was also discussing the training plan, Wu Xingquan walked in with a smile on his face.

"Dad, what's the joy?" Seeing Wu Xingquan's smiling face, Wu Haoxuan asked.

"Haha! Haoxuan, do you know how many people we recruited today? ”

"How much? Are there 10,000 people? Wu Haoxuan asked. After all, although there are hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Shengjing City, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is not easy to recruit enough strong people among them. In particular, Ma Tengxi, Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting also reacted afterwards and began to recruit soldiers, and the four competed, and even fewer troops could be recruited.

"Ten thousand? We've recruited more than 20,000 people! Wu Xingquan said excitedly.

"More than 20,000 people? So much? Wu Haoxuan was directly startled.

"Dad, didn't you recruit those crooked melons and cracked dates into the army, did you? In that case, it will have no effect on the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army! ”

"Don't worry, your father and I are not so stupid, all of them are recruited according to your requirements, those who are strong and do not have bad habits such as smoking. Because we started early, we recruited a lot. Zhang Yuting and the three of them, each family only recruited more than 10,000 people. Now, we have the most troops of the four! Wu Xingquan's face was proud. Originally, among the four families, his official position was the lowest, and his strength was also the weakest. But now, he has finally surpassed the others.

"That's good! However, Dad, our strength has increased dramatically, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction and even jealousy of the other three. After the appointment, we will set off for Jilin as much as possible to avoid this place of right and wrong! Wu Haoxuan said. Although the conditions in Fengtian Province are the best, it is also a place that everyone covets, so it is better to jump out of here in advance and develop with peace of mind.

"Hmmm! Good. However, having recruited so many troops, we don't have enough weapons in our hands. In addition, to feed more than 20,000 troops, there is not so much money! Wu Xingquan said with some embarrassment. After all, the more than 20,000 troops alone, plus the salary of his original 5,000 troops, would cost 200,000 oceans every month. If you add in the equipment, food and expenses, it will cost you a lot of money every month.

"Dad, how much does it cost each month?"

"I planned it this way, recruited more than 20,000 people, and with the original old foundation, it could just become two towns. There were more than 12,500 people in each town. For military pay alone, a town needs 100,000 oceans every month. The food can be eaten a little, and the training is mainly physical training and hand-to-hand combat, supplemented by live ammunition. In this case, it will take about 50,000 oceans per month. To feed two towns, you need 300,000 oceans every month! Although, Wu Xingquan has also made a lot of money over the years. But if he has to take out 300,000 oceans every month, it is estimated that he will go bankrupt in a few months. If Wu Haoxuan hadn't given him the confidence at the beginning, he would never have dared to recruit so many troops.

"If you are equipped with weapons, you can equip half of the people first, and two people share a rifle. Ten days later, another boatload of weapons will arrive. By then, both towns will be able to be armed. As for the food, it must be good, three meals a day, white flour steamed buns, rice, and one meal of meat every day. In this way, the soldier's su zhì can be promoted. If possible, finally ask someone to teach them to read. In addition, live-fire training is essential, and good marksmanship is fed with bullets. Each soldier is trained every week to fire at least a hundred rounds of ammunition. We're running out of time, we have to speed up our training! Wu Haoxuan said.

Wu Xingquan's eyes widened, according to Wu Haoxuan's requirements, in addition to military salaries, each town needs at least 100,000 to 150,000 oceans to be able to feed it every month! Then, if you feed two towns, you need 500,000 oceans.

"This, that's too much, isn't it? As a soldier, it is enough to be able to eat a full meal, how can you eat white flour steamed buns and eat meat every day! And ask someone to teach them to read, is this still a soldier? It's almost the same as being an uncle! Wu Xingquan pouted, he knew that Wu Haoxuan had made a lot of money in each of them, but no matter how big the family business was, it also needed to be saved! Otherwise, no matter how big the family business is, it will soon be ruined. If Wu Haoxuan had lost his money, he would have objected a long time ago.

"Dad, just listen to me! Although the effort is large, at least it can make our troops' combat effectiveness quickly formed, and it can also make them loyal to us. Later on, this is very important. As for the money, you don't have to worry. My industry in the United States earns tens of millions of oceans every month, and spending hundreds of thousands of oceans to raise soldiers is simply trivial! ”

"Okay, what do you say, then I'll do it, anyway, in the future, the Wu family's qiē will be yours." Wu Xingquan nodded and said no more. However, Wu Haoxuan's monthly income is as much as tens of millions of oceans, which still shocked him. After a year, will the income soon reach hundreds of millions? The richest people in the country don't have so much money!

Wu Xingquan knew that Wu Haoxuan had great ambitions. He doesn't pay attention to so much, as a father, he should fully support his son.

Wu Xingquan's army was expanded by more than 20,000 people, which also aroused the vigilance of Ma Tengxi, Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting. However, the three also waited to see the joke. After all, to feed such a large army, the monthly expenses are not small. Several old brothers know their roots, and they naturally know how thick Wu Xingquan's family background is. When the time comes, there will be no military salaries, and no matter how many troops are recruited, it will be useless!

Zhang Yuting even laughed and said that when Wu Xingquan's troops mutinied, it was time for them to pick peaches.

Early the next morning, Wu Haoxuan and James rushed to the barracks outside the city, and those who signed up for the army yesterday arrived at the barracks one after another. After receiving the settling-in allowance, many people did not run away, but after settling their homes, they came to the barracks to report.

The people of this era are still very honest, and the society that lacks integrity in later generations is completely different. However, there are also a very small number of people who did not report it, and fled after being cheated out of the settling-in fee.

Wu Haoxuan didn't care, this was just a very small number of people, and they only lost more than a hundred oceans in total.

After the roll call, the recruits were randomly divided into seven recruit companies, and the company commander and platoon commander of the recruit company were selected from Wu Xingquan's guards to serve as junior officers and veterans.

The first order of the recruits is to cut the braids. Everyone had to cut off the braids at the back. After all, dragging a long pig tail is a lot of inconvenience during training, and it is also easy to breed bacteria.

For this order, many people resisted. However, after learning that they would get out of the way without cutting their braids, many people still chose to give in. Especially after eating white flour steamed buns and large pieces of braised pork for lunch at noon on the first day. Everyone immediately put their grievances behind them.

Many people were born in poor families, and they can't eat white-flour steamed buns a few times a year, but in the barracks, they are so full that they are still full, which makes these people feel like they have entered heaven.

Subsequently, weapons and equipment were distributed, and each person had two sets of combat training uniforms, belts, water bottles, steel helmets, etc., in addition to weapons, many of whom had never seen these equipment. But they know that these things are all rare.

The next day, Wu Haoxuan and James suddenly made everyone fall from heaven to hell. I wake up at 6 a.m. and after half an hour of washing, it's a five-kilometer run. After that, it's time to have breakfast. This was followed by the morning cohort training. In the afternoon, we will be trained on the maintenance of firearms and the essentials of live ammunition. In the evening, there are specially invited people to educate each company in cultural classes.

This stopped the big soldiers. With all their strength, it's okay to let them hold knives and guns, but if they let them do that, it's a big problem. However, after learning that if they failed the assessment, they would be kicked out of the army, these big-headed soldiers had to grit their teeth and study hard.

Although the training here is hard, there is also a lot of military salary, and the daily food is even more abundant, and it is really reluctant to leave here.

After half a month of training, these recruits already have a reborn appearance.

Wu Xingquan and the officers of the two other towns he formed came to visit Wu Haoxuan and were immediately shocked. The training progress of this battalion is much faster than that of his two towns. This is still the case when he had more than 5,000 years of experience before. Wu Xingquan then made a decision to use the battalion established by Wu Haoxuan as a training camp, and after the training was over, he would send backbone personnel from the other two towns to receive training.
