Because the North Vietnamese top leaders were afraid of the military aid measures of the Hai Han people, when the Tu Son training camp was set up, the two sides agreed that the military advisers of the Hai Han would only teach tactics related to combat and would not interfere in the daily training and troop establishment of the North Vietnamese New Army. Therefore, when Feng Annan, Mu Xiabai and others were instructors at the Tu Son training camp, the training of the North Vietnamese New Army was only at the tactical level, and there were no hard and fast regulations on military discipline and military regulations. Fortunately, the standards for selecting the trained troops on the North Vietnamese side are relatively high, and they are basically veterans with rich combat experience, and in the end, their performance on the battlefield is quite good. This also gave North Vietnamese officers like Trần Dinh the illusion that as long as they were equipped with advanced weapons, the North Vietnamese army was actually about the same as the combat effectiveness of the Hai Han militia.

As for the understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Hai Han militia, the vast majority of North Vietnamese soldiers still only stayed at the level of strong ships and artillery, believing that they were just a group of militiamen equipped with advanced weapons. The only ones who really have material should be those Haihan officers who like to wear colorful shirts. Zheng Ting had a similar view before this, but on the first day of his studies at the Shengli Harbor Military Academy, this view seemed to have exposed its limitations. The requirements of the Haihan militia for military discipline and military regulations were much stronger than those of the North Vietnamese army, so that even military elites like Zheng Ting felt difficult to adapt.

But in the face of the arrogance of this Haihan officer, Zheng Ting still couldn't bear this breath, and snorted coldly: "Whether you can fight or not, you still have to know in person, I have never heard of being able to defeat the enemy on the battlefield with his mouth!"

The little officer also sneered: "It's not easy to get started, you can accompany me at any time!" said as he began to unbutton his shirt.

When the people in the barracks saw this, not only did no one come forward to persuade them, but they all started to coax. Everyone wanted to see who was more powerful in the North Vietnamese military elite than the officers and students of the Shanghai Han Militia Corps.

Surrounded by the clamor of the crowd, the two came to the open space outside the barracks, ready to learn from each other. Zheng Ting still followed the rules, hugged his fists and said: "Protect **** Zheng Ting in Xia Annan!"

The little officer also clasped his fists and said: "In the first company and three platoons of the independent battalion of the lower black soil port, the deputy platoon commander Gao Qiao Nan!"

This arrogant militia officer is the naturalized civilian officer Takahashi Minami, who emerged in the Annam expedition this time. With the dual honor of individual third-class merit and collective second-class merit for his combat bravery, Takahashi Minamiya was promoted from sergeant to sergeant, and was promoted from the previous squad leader to deputy platoon commander. When the official establishment of the Heitu Port Independent Battalion is completed, and the personnel are replenished, Takahashi Minami will almost complete his studies, and there will be great hope that he will be promoted from deputy to platoon commander, and this promotion speed is definitely the best among the militia regiments.

Just when some of the militia were still a little trembling when they even shot at the enemy, Takahashi Minami was already able to kill several people in a row without fear. Compared with other comrades-in-arms in the militia who have only been in the army for a year, Takahashi Minami has a great personal advantage, that is, his earlier samurai background, personal martial arts and combat experience are much stronger than ordinary militiamen from civilian backgrounds, which is also one of the important reasons why he was able to directly kill more than 20 enemies in the Battle of Annam and win the favor of his superiors.

In the current establishment of the Haihan militia group, because the source of soldiers is basically local ordinary people, there are not many people who join the army with art, and personnel with quasi-military qualifications like Gao Qiao Nan are even rarer, so they are also particularly prominent among the militia groups. And after Gao Qiao Nan followed Qian Tiandun to Heitu Port, he also learned some actual combat fighting techniques used in the army in later generations from his superiors, and his personal combat power was better than before. And this improvement of personal strength also made Takahashi's worship of Haihan's military power more unswerving, and it could even be said to be a little fanatical.

For these foreign trainees who appeared in the military academy, Takahashi Nan had a sense of superiority in his heart, after all, it was orthodox to be born in the Haihan militia, and these students from other places were just boarding students who studied art from teachers. So when he heard Zheng Ting complain that the Haihan military regulations were too strict, he couldn't help but refute this North Vietnamese officer who was sitting in the well and watching the sky. And the other party was obviously not so easy to be persuaded, so Takahashi Minami adhered to the barracks rule of "don't quarrel if you can fight", and took the initiative to put forward a method of determining the level in actual combat.

Although the participants and onlookers were enthusiastic, the process of the exchange was lackluster. Zheng Ting's personal combat strength was far less cold than his usual appearance, after all, he was trained as a commander from the beginning of his enlistment, rather than a soldier who directly participated in the fight. As soon as he played against an opponent with an experienced martial arts experience like Minami Takahashi, the gap in personal ability was exposed.

Takahashi Nan directly used the grappling technique taught to him by Qian Tiandun, and after two or three rendezvous, he grabbed Zheng Ting's arm joint, twisted his right arm behind him, and pressed it heavily to the ground. The whole set of actions was familiar with the road, and Zheng Ting basically didn't even find the gap in his struggle before he was stopped by Gaoqiao Nankong.

"It's a good move!" At some point, Gu Wei, the director of the training camp, also appeared here. With his praise, the scene immediately became silent.

As soon as Takahashi Nan heard this voice, he bounced up from Zheng Ting's body and stood up straight, which at first glance seemed to have nothing to do with the scene just now.

Zheng Ting didn't chirp crookedly, and after getting up, he just gently spat off the sand in his mouth, staring at Gao Qiao Nan hatefully.

"At this time, there is still a mental fight, it seems that the training plan I made for you is still a little too easy, this is my fault, tomorrow I will definitely increase the amount of training to make you satisfied." After Gu Wei said this, he looked around at everyone, and saw that no one dared to refute it, so he walked up to the two of them and said: "Since you two guys are in such good spirits, then you will be on duty in the first half of the night today! Now immediately run to the entrance of the battalion department to change the guard! The others immediately go back to the barracks and sleep!"

The two unlucky ghosts looked at each other, then immediately turned their heads away. Although they were unhappy in their hearts, the military order was like a mountain, and the two could only reluctantly obey the order to change the guard. Gu Wei returned to the camp headquarters after inspecting the circle, and saw that the two guys were already standing outside the camp headquarters on the left and right, shook his head and entered the camp headquarters.

After the restructuring of the annual general meeting, the office of the Military Commission was directly inherited from the former Military Police Department, which is still in Fort Victory. However, the battalion headquarters of the Shengli Port Independent Battalion is located in the barracks area on the east bank of the harbor, and most of the Haihan officers, including Yan Chujie, still have a considerable amount of time to deal with military affairs here. In particular, when military personnel have some secret schemes, it is far safer to hold a meeting at the battalion headquarters than to have personnel in and out of the Military Commission's office at Fort Shengli.

"It's hard work, it's okay?" Yan Chujie, who was leaning over to look at the map, looked up and asked.

"These rabbit cubs are not honest at all!" Gu Wei shook his head and sighed: "I just went out to inspect and caught two people fighting, North Vietnam sent that Zheng Ting, and Gao Qiao Nan of Heitu Harbor, I don't know why I did it." I'll tell them to stand guard at the entrance of the battalion department, and calm down!"

"That Zheng Ting wants to go head-to-head with Takahashi Nan, and he should suffer a small loss. Wang Tom took over the conversation next to him: "When I was in Annan, I saw Takahashi Nan's table with my own eyes, and cutting people is the same as chopping melons and vegetables. If it's a one-on-one person who wields a knife, few of us in the gang can really beat him. This guy is short, but he still has some ability, no wonder Qian Tiandun values him so much. ”

"Zheng Ting can't beat him without a knife, when I went, I saw Zheng Ting being pressed to the ground by Gao Qiao Nan and couldn't move, I see that technique should be a grappling technique, Qian Tiandun is really willing to teach anything!" Gu Wei grabbed the teacup on the table and took a big sip, wiped the corners of his mouth and said: "But it's okay to educate these Vietnamese, lest they think that our Haihan militia is just a show!"

"Whether it's a good thing or not, they'll find out if they stay here for a few more days. Yan Chujie understood what Gu Wei was referring to, and responded with a smile: "But don't practice too hard, our own soldiers have already adapted to it, and these new rookies are likely to not be able to withstand our practice." ”

Compared with the army of the same era, in addition to being more scientific and efficient, the training method of the Haihan militia is also characterized by a greater amount of exercise, and repeated intensive training is used to consolidate the tactical movements of the soldiers, so that they can smoothly play the daily training content on the battlefield. This kind of training is simple to say and simple to understand, but it is difficult for peers to complete in this day and age. The reason is also very simple, to put it bluntly, it is a money word.

In order to increase the amount of training in the army, it is inevitable that the soldiers must consume enough calories every day, otherwise the training of a large amount of exercise will be a great loss to the soldiers' bodies. Improving soldiers' food is equivalent to increasing military spending, and it is impossible to complete such training if this cost is not resolved. Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, although there are millions of troops, except for elite troops such as the border army, the Beijing army, and the guard army in some areas, most of the guards are negligent in training. In the late Ming Dynasty, those who could do one exercise every five days or every ten years basically had to be regarded as an elite. And what kind of soldiers can be trained by such a training frequency, in fact, it can be imagined.

From the very beginning of planning for the formation of the armed forces, the Executive Committee decided to follow the line of elite troops. Compared with the contemporaries, the military investment of the militia can be described as extremely generous, and the cost of raising a militia soldier is about five times that of ordinary soldiers in Yazhou Shuizhai, and this does not include personal equipment and weapons. If the several warships under construction are also counted, then the military expenditure invested by the Haihan People's League in the past year since its establishment has basically exceeded the total military expenditure of the Ming garrison on Qiongzhou Island, while the difference in the size of the troops of the two sides is ten times.

In addition to equipping the Haihan militia with the most advanced weapons on the earth in this era, the nutritional level of the soldiers can also be regarded as the best treatment of the army of the same era, and the calories that can be provided by daily meals have even been calculated by professionals. With the exception of the Victory Harbor Elementary School and the Boy Scout Training Camp, there is no place in the naturalized civilian unit where the level of food can be compared to that of the Haihan militia station. As long as they are militia soldiers who have been in the army for more than half a year, their physical qualities will be significantly better than that of ordinary local naturalized citizens.

Good food conditions have improved the physical quality of the militiamen, and only after the physical quality has reached a certain level can they bear the daily training intensity of the Haihan militia. It is precisely because of such long-term and frequent training that the hands that are accustomed to holding hoes and fishing nets can firmly grasp the barrel of the gun, and the Haihan militia will have combat effectiveness beyond that of the contemporaneous army. The intensity of training received by foreign students in the past is far from being comparable to the real training level of the Haihan militia, so it is very likely that they will not be able to adapt to the situation after coming here to participate in the advanced course.

The military is not afraid that after these training methods are learned by foreign trainees, they will pose a threat to the crossing group in the future, because these methods are not profound, as long as those who have trained soldiers understand them, but limited to objective conditions, few people can put them into actual operation. The cost of the elite route is so great that it is too much for traditional agrarian societies to afford, and it will be difficult to achieve similar results as the Haihan militia if it is to be replicated outside the areas controlled by the group. For example, if a regime like North Vietnam, which has the strength of a single country, wants to completely copy the way the Hai Han militia formed an army and achieve the same combat effectiveness, it will not be able to afford more than 10,000 people, and this is the result of comprehensive discussions between the military and the departments of commerce, agriculture, and civil affairs.

Of course, this result is still assumed that North Vietnam can always have the full support of the Crossing Group, and if at some point the Crossing Group interrupts its support for North Vietnam for some reason, then the combat effectiveness that the North Vietnamese so-called new army can maintain will plummet. Even if the North Vietnamese had a new and astonishingly large army, it would not be able to pose a real military threat to the Crossing Group.

As for the other two temporary allies, there will also be differences in the strength of the support they receive from the Haihan military. As for military training, the support that Xu Xinsu's group can get from Shengli Port may not be as good as the Li Jiamin group for a period of time.

After co-establishing the "Golden Shield Security" with "Fu Ruifeng", the Li Jiamin League also gradually shifted its role from local regimental training and became a private armed organization similar to the nature of a bodyguard team. Of course, in order to be officially recognized, the armed level of the Li Family Militia was not publicized to the outside world, and although many people already knew that the militia was equipped with a large number of muskets, the local government that had already received the benefits obviously did not intend to meddle in things.

The formation and establishment of the "Golden Shield Security" came from the executive committee's strategic conception of the mainland, and to put it bluntly, it was a chess piece in the early layout. As a joint venture unit of the "Haihan Bank" and the Haihan Office in Guangzhou, the business volume of the "Golden Shield Security" basically does not need to be worried, so after the establishment of the organization, the Li Jiamin Group immediately expanded as an escort force, rapidly more than doubling the scale of the original 100 people, and also selected capable personnel to study in Shengli Port.

The military advisers and weapons of the Li Jiamin Group are basically from the Haihan side, so the military also has a great willingness to build it into a usable armed force of the Haihan in the mainland region. Even if it does not reach the strength of the Haihan militia, it must at least be trained to the level of a reserve militia, and if necessary, it must be able to cooperate with the Guangzhou Office or the Haihan militia to carry out military tasks.

Compared with the other two allies, the Li family obviously has the highest level of trust, which is of course inseparable from the deep interest entanglement between them and the crossing group. In the entire Guangzhou Prefecture, the first object that can be associated with Haihan is the Li family of "Fu Ruifeng", and now the two sides have gradually changed from the initial trade cooperation to good friends who wear the same pair of pants. For the various measures carried out by the crossing group in the mainland, whether it is in business or with the military, the Li family's cooperation is getting higher and higher, in a sense, the Li family is already a partner in the mainland strategy of the crossing group, rather than just staying at the level of trade.

But as the chief instructor of the military training camp of the Haihan People's League, Gu Wei did not know the interests of this as thoroughly as Yan Chujie, and for him, the trainees who studied should be treated equally, and if they could not meet the training requirements, they could get out of the country as soon as possible. Therefore, Gu Wei did not respond positively to Yan Chujie's statement, but took the initiative to change the topic: "The two of you have also discussed in the room all night, have you come up with a charter?"

Wang Tom and Yan Chujie glanced at each other and shook their heads slowly.

Wang Tom said: "The main reason is that there are too many uncertain risks, and there are too many places for the executive committee to pick on the supply, defense, and staffing. ”

"If you come up with a proposal that is not perfect, the probability of being shot by the Executive Committee is at least eighty percent. Yan Chujie analyzed very calmly: "What's more, this project is basically only in and out, there is no direct dividend to speak of, but it is necessary to constantly fill in with money, if I am a member of the executive committee, it is difficult to convince myself to pass such a proposal." ”

The "proposal" mentioned by Wang Tom and Yan Chujie is also a military action plan that has recently been re-proposed, that is, to establish a naval base at the mouth of the Pearl River by means of a garrison to ensure the safety of key nodes in the channel from Guangzhou to Shengli Port, and by the way, to lay a foundation for the next step of controlling the waters of the Pearl River Estuary. In fact, this plan was proposed by Xiao Liang and Yu Yao, the second batch of military personnel stationed in the Guangzhou Office, as early as half a year ago, but it was not discussed at the Executive Committee at that time, and it was directly rejected within the Military Police Department. This is not because this plan has no practical value, but because with the strength of the crossing group at that time, it is too difficult to realize this plan, and the military top brass is very sensible not to hand over the plan to the executive committee, so as to avoid a needless slap in the face
