Since Roger could ask whatever he said at the beginning, Wang Changyue gritted his teeth and had the courage to say the question in his heart. After listening to this, Roger replied with a smile: "So Shopkeeper Wang is worried that after completing the first three stages of training, he will be rejected as a cadet by the Victory Port Military Academy?"

Wang Changyue said: "The villain is just worried that there will be some repeated changes in this rule in the future, whether this can be admitted or not is secondary, if it ruins Chief Luo's reputation because of this, it will be a big bad thing." ”

Roger responded: "Regarding this arrangement, you can rest assured that in the future, the Shengli Port Military Academy will gradually open up the scope of enrollment, and ordinary people, including non-Haihan nationals, can also apply for admission on their own." The admission method I mentioned earlier can be regarded as a pilot project conducted overseas before the official opening. ”

"May I ask Chief Luo, what is the threshold for applying for the exam on your own?" Ricciar next to him heard it, and he didn't have the heart to wonder whether the news was true or false, so he hurriedly inquired about the details. Although the two sides signed a clause on military cooperation and would send instructors to each other to train each other in the combat skills of some special arms, at a higher level of military command, Haihan was very tightly covered with his own dry goods.

"Needless to say, the Haihan nationality is basically according to the original model, first sign up for the army as a soldier, and later select the best for further study. As for non-Haihan nationals, then you must first complete the first three stages of training I mentioned before you can be eligible to sign up. Roger explained: "The Victory Harbor Military Academy teaches advanced military theories and skills, and if there is no foundation laid earlier, then even if you go in, you will only listen to the heavens, and you will not learn anything." Of course, this does not mean that you can be admitted only by completing the first three stages of training, but you are eligible to enroll. As for whether or not you can finally be enrolled, it still has to be decided according to the assessment standards of the Shengli Port Military Academy. ”

After listening to this reply, everyone felt a little disappointed, even if they could complete these trainings and have Roger's recommendation, they still could not be 100% guaranteed to be admitted to the Victory Port Military Academy. However, compared to the fact that there was no possibility of zài at all before, there is at least a little hope for this path.

Of course, the truth of the matter is not as simple as Roger explained to the sponsors, and the decision to expand the enrollment scope of the Victory Port Military Academy was also made after repeated tug-of-war and discussion between the Executive Committee and the military.

It is normal for military academies to recruit students only from the military system, so that those talented grassroots officers can have the opportunity to further their education, but the Haihan military has a practical problem that cannot be solved in a short period of time, forcing them to make changes to traditional methods. The problem is that the overall size of the Haihan militia is too small, so that there are relatively few talented military talents, the training mechanism of the Shengli Port Military Academy has not been fully utilized, and the military's demand for senior officers has not been effectively addressed.

As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find, and ordinary musketeers can basically meet the passing standard after only three months of training, but the commander at the company and platoon level needs to have more advanced military skills to be competent. The existing naturalized officers of the Haihan People's Regiment are basically promoted from the soldiers who enlisted in the early days, such as Yu Tiezhu, Gao Qiao Nan and others are examples. However, after all, there are only a few people like them who have a certain degree of military talent, and most of the grass-roots officers from civilian backgrounds have reached the upper limit of their personal ability when they have been promoted to the squad and platoon level, and there are only a few who can be qualified to be company commanders. As for higher-level positions, only a very small number of top-notch people are barely qualified.

At present, however, the Haihan People's League is in a period of rapid expansion, and it is difficult to meet the demand for command personnel, which has become a bottleneck restricting the development of the army. In this case, in addition to tapping their own internal potential, the military top brass is also seeking other ways to solve the problem, such as opening up the scope of enrollment and recruiting some talents from those who are naturalized to serve in the militia army.

In fact, there have been examples of this practice for a long time, the most famous is Annam's Admiral Wu Sen, who joined the Haihan Navy after being persuaded and is now serving in the senior position of flagship captain in the fleet commanded by Shi Diwen. However, there are too few special cases like Wu Sen, first, there are not many generals from foreign courts, second, the generals do not necessarily have the same real ability as Wu Sen, and third, the executive committee will not lightly entrust those generals whose loyalty is doubtful. However, the existence of cases like Wu Sen's does provide a positive reference value for the Shengli Port Military Academy to open up the scope of enrollment targets.

Vu Sen used to be loyal to the South Vietnamese ******, but after several years of ideological transformation, he is now a loyal fighter ready to fight for the Executive Committee. Since Wu Sen can change his court to serve the Executive Committee, it is also a way to solve the gap in the demand for officers by recruiting military-gifted subjects for training from groups other than Haihan nationality and trying to recruit them in the process.

Of course, once this opening is opened, then the composition of the personnel who come to sign up will definitely be quite complicated, after all, the military strength of Haihan is here, and other surrounding forces are trying to follow suit, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will try to break into the Haihan military from this channel and obtain those military secrets that allow the Haihan militia to stand alone in the world. From a security point of view, such measures are undoubtedly risky. Moreover, the recruited trainees may not choose to join the Haihan militia after completing their studies, and the so-called training may only be making wedding dresses for others. Therefore, when this plan was proposed by the military, there was considerable opposition from the executive committee and the security department.

This plan has been discussed since the Battle of Ambuna Island last year, and after a long tug-of-war, a consensus was finally reached that it will be piloted at individual overseas ports when appropriate, and if it proves feasible in practice, it will be gradually rolled out as a new system. It took a lot of saliva for Roger to apply to the Military Commission to include Ambuna Island in the pilot area. Although no one of the militia recruited this time will meet the admission requirements of the Victory Port Military Academy, Roger believes that as long as the news spreads, there will still be people who will come to apply.

Having said that, it is indeed much more difficult to enter the Shengli Port Military Academy step by step through this special channel than to directly join the army. Although the content of the training of these specially recruited militiamen is basically the same as that of the regular army, due to the lack of opportunities for actual combat and the real living environment of the troops, the vast majority of them will still have a certain combat effectiveness gap with the regular army after completing the training. Only a very small number of talented people in this area will be able to complete the three-stage training that Roger described and then get the opportunity to apply for the Victory Harbor Military Academy.

In the final stage, the military can also reject those candidates whose foundations are not very clean or whose origins are questionable in various ways, and select those who have a positive view of Haihan and are easy to win over to enroll in the school. In this way, the possibility of tiger breeding can be minimized. And this is indeed a little more stringent for investors who want to spend money directly to buy admission qualifications.

Some people silently dismissed such thoughts at the moment, but others refused to give up the opportunity. The two families from Annam are both famous families in South Vietnam, and they had also seen the power of the Haihan militia during the civil war in Annam a few years ago, and they had long wanted to follow the model of the Haihan militia to raise private troops. It's just that Haihan's ally is the northern imperial court, and the Annan military controls almost all the resources of Haihan's military training, and these local Haoqiang have not had a suitable channel to intervene. Now that they have finally opened an opening in Roger's place, even if it costs more, as long as there is a possibility of success, they will never let it go.

"Chief Luo, the villain thinks that your approach is good, but after all, it is still a little hasty. For example, the soldiers recruited this time have neither a training venue nor training equipment, and they still need to borrow from the Haihan militia group. Just when everyone was pondering his intentions, they heard him continue: "My Fan family's business has been taken care of in the past two years, and the villain is willing to donate a training ground on the island on behalf of the Fan family." ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this guy wanted to promote and suppress first, and only after finding fault did he show his true intentions, and the routine was quite skillful.

Not to be outdone, another representative from Annam continued, "Quy Nhon Tran is willing to donate ten houses for the leader to arrange for these recruits to live nearby. ”

Roger replied with a smile: "This is a bit wrong, this island is not my private property, and it is not for me to donate to build it." ”

"Yes, yes, it's the villain who lost his words! Chief Luo don't blame him!" the representative of the Chen clan hurriedly corrected his slip of the tongue just now.

Hue Pham and Quy Nhon Tran are both engaged in maritime trade business, Hai Han in Annam developed four southern ports including Da Nang and Quy Nhon two, Pham Thi was the first to invest in Da Nang at the beginning of the development of Da Nang, and Tran has an exclusive wharf in Quy Nhon Port, both of which have undoubted financial resources. However, because they were located in the former ****** areas of South Vietnam, they were destined to not be trusted and reused by the northern court, so they attached special importance to how to protect their own interests, such as improving relations with the Haihan.

Soon after the Haihan occupied the island of Ambuna, the two families who heard the news sent their own people to stay here, and built a merchant house on the island, and also participated in the development of the plantation. If the current trade partnership can be raised to a higher level, these two companies will not be stingy to spend a little more money.

Whether the Haihan people are engaged in such a training program is to make money or people, what they care about is not this, but how to make Haihan willing to come to them to fish. A very important reason why the nobles in the north looked down on the rich merchants in the south was nothing more than the support of the Haihan people behind them, and the Ruan clan, who had been dissatisfied with this, had been wiped out under the pressure of the Haihan army, and the living people would no longer challenge it. If the wealthy people in the south want to gain status, a more feasible way is to borrow from Haihan, as long as they become Haihan's allies and close partners, who would dare to look down on their own family?

If you can send your own children to the Shengli Port Military Academy, which the Haihan people are proud of, for further study, whether they enter the Haihan militia after they come out, or return to Annam to train the private army, at least the incense relationship with the Haihan military will be concluded. In the future, if there is any change in the political situation in Annan, at least there will be a strong backer who can ensure the safety of his own family.

Roger didn't say it all the time, they thought it was a more credible statement. If Roger patted his chest and said that he could send people in if he gave him money, they might have been skeptical. After all, among the Haihan people they had come into contact with in the past, they had not found anyone who would covet gold and silver treasures. At most, these Haihan people are more particular about food, housing and hygiene, but they have no greed for money, and their people are also affected by this, and they will not accept money and goods.

While the other families had not yet expressed their position, the two families scrambled to express their willingness to pay another sum of money to sponsor this militia training program, in fact, the purpose was also so that Roger could give them more care and attention.

Roger certainly understood the purpose of these businessmen, but this was also expected by him, and if no one expressed a positive attitude towards it, then the viability of the military to launch this plan would be questionable.

Building a playground and building a few barracks is not a huge project, but the statements of the two investors have proved the attractiveness of the plan for them. Roger smiled and replied, "You two are so polite...... Then I would like to thank you two for your generosity on behalf of the troops stationed on the island!"

"A few hours, not enough to worry about!" "It should be, it should be." The two hurriedly and modestly responded.

The remaining few representatives look at me, I look at you, and they also expressed their positions at the moment that they are willing to pay more money to sponsor other projects, lest they fall behind -- if other families have paid for it, and if you don't pay it, will the people you send still want to learn the real skills?

Roger smiled and watched these people compete to show their discipline by donating, and his heart was also a big stone to put down. He was a little worried that the training program would not get much traction, but judging from the current customer response, the feasibility of the project is quite strong. After everyone finished talking, Roger said: "Your kindness, I will accept it on behalf of the Executive Committee." I will take good care of the talents selected by each family, and I hope that there will be a few more talents among them, and they will live up to the money you have invested here. ”
