Chapter 212: Expansion of the Army (I)
It takes less than half a moment to break the old, but Xie Tian believes that he can still get closer to his ideal step by step, not to achieve it all, but at least to do his best to make the reality closer to his ideal.
Now China, is the most united era in 5,000 years of history, the whole city has not had a single public security case for a month, let alone a criminal case, the people's sense of responsibility has also suddenly increased a lot, labor is voluntary, and is no longer like the majority of the people to get by and the general psychology, most people, are dedicated to the construction of the country.
More than 2 million foreign laborers poured in before and after, which made Xie Tian also begin to show his strength, he immediately found the person in charge of the United Front Work Department, and said: "Before the end of this winter, we want to collect at least 500,000 recruits from our own citizens and carry out systematic recruit training, is there a problem?" ”
The person in charge of the United Front Work Department is named Hu Wei, who was in charge of recruiting new things for the whole [***] team before the zombie outbreak, and at this moment he heard that Xie Tian was going to levy 500,000 soldiers in one go, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time, and after a long time, he came to his senses and asked in surprise: "Sir Xie, is at least 500,000 recruits levied at a time?" ”
"Yes." Xie Tian nodded, and said lightly: "We have shipped back a lot of weapons and equipment from the United States, and the arsenal is also stepping up the production of ammunition, and my helicopter formation is looking for the remaining ammunition depots across the country, not counting ammunition at present, the individual weapons we have can equip 1.8 million people, so, plus more than 2 million laborers before and after, we can retire a considerable part of our national labor force, and the stored grain is sufficient, and the obvious new grain production definitely exceeds the total consumption, there are guns and food, Why can't the army be expanded? ”
You must know that our current strength is less than 300,000, and with more armed forces, we can better govern such a country, 500,000 is just a step ahead of the plan, and my idea is that the total strength of the navy, land and air force should reach at least 1.5 million, and this goal must be achieved within two years." ”
"One and a half million," Hu Wei swallowed in surprise.
Xie Tian smiled and said: "The zombie virus has changed the composition of the survivor population a lot, out of every five people, there is only one woman, an old man or a child, and the other three are all young adults with male surnames, we have now carried out industry and agriculture, but our current labor force is still in surplus, first of all, we don't need so many people to farm the land, one million farmers, it is enough to feed our advanced 10 million people, but we have more than four million people farming, The only reason is that there are no other jobs for these survivors, and since we don't have to worry about food and clothing now, why don't we hurry up and develop our army? ”
"I see." Hu Wei nodded lightly and said: "Then this is it, Sir Xie, you give me 20,000 veterans, give me a large enough site, and I will immediately start building a new barracks, after all, we can't recruit all the infantry, armored troops, maintenance troops, artillery, navy, pilots, mechanics, these are also needed, we need to establish a perfect recruit training base." ”
"This one does." Xie Tian said without hesitation: "This is inevitable, especially the most scarce technical talents, I will go back and talk to Hillary, let her arrange some experienced instructors and experts for me, combined with the experience of China and the United States, the training of recruits must be the best!" ”
The advertisement for conscription was broadcast on Dragon TV's news program that night, and the requirement is that all healthy men between the ages of 18-30 have the surname, and there are two ways to recruit soldiers, the first is to sign up for the army, and then the army will divide the troops according to the candidate's own conditions, and the second is to join the army with personal expertise, and then the army will directly divide it into the arms closer to the specialties of the people who join the army after the assessment.
For example, a man with a male surname who is about 170 cm tall and has driving experience can be given priority to become a transport soldier, or an armored soldier, or a more physical fitness, and can have the opportunity to become a submariner and pilot, if he has some experience in mechanical maintenance, then he can directly absorb it to become a mechanical soldier and so on.
Because China is not only the world's most powerful country, but also the only country in the world that has the ability to save the world, the Chinese people have an unprecedented sense of superiority and pride, and the people's hearts are also unusually united.
How to select the most suitable 500,000 soldiers from among these three million people is an extremely heavy but very necessary task for Xie Tian, although there is no doubt that China's overall strength can become the world's first, but Xie Tian is very clear in his heart that China's army has not had war experience for a long time, not to mention that the problems within the military department are also very serious, although science and technology are developing, combat strength is declining, this is an indisputable fact, but on the other hand, the Americans, their training and requirements for the army have not been ignored for a moment.
In terms of hardware and software, the experience and technology of the United States are much stronger than China's, especially the latter, this former superpower has accumulated rich experience in various wars, so if there is help from the Americans, this kind of thing will naturally be much easier.
Thinking of this, Xie Tian immediately instructed his subordinates, "Go and prepare the car, and by the way, inform Hillary that I will arrive at her office in twenty minutes." ”
"Okay." Although Hillary is still nominally the president of the United States, she has no real status in China, and she is now the nominal leader of more than 900,000 Americans in China, but these Americans, including Hillary, must obey the arrangements of the Chinese political axe, otherwise, the Chinese political axe has the right to expel them immediately.
In Xie Tian's eyes, Hillary is the secretary of the Xuhui District Party Committee, so it is not inappropriate for him to meet her in his own capacity, although the two may be far apart in rank.
When the vehicle arrived at the door of the district party committee building in Xuhui District, Xie Tian saw that Hillary had personally gone downstairs and was waiting downstairs to greet him, and with her, there were several US officials, including the secretary of defense, the secretary of finance, and members of Congress.
"Welcome, Mr. Xie." Hillary smiled at Xie Tian, who got out of the car, and said politely.
Xie Tian also smiled back, shook Hillary's hand, and said, "Hello, President Hillary, I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you." ”
"It just so happens that I have something I want to discuss with you." Hillary opened her mouth and said, "Why don't we go in and talk." ”
Xie Tian nodded and walked in with Hillary, Hillary's arrangement was to treat Xie Tian as a visiting foreign dignitary, so as soon as he entered the conference room, several major officials who could count the American political axe were accompanied to sit down, but Xie Tian was the commander of the light pole, and even the orderlies stayed outside the door.
"President Hillary." Xie Tianyi sat down and said straight to the point: "I think you should also know that now we are preparing to expand the army, recruits are easy to recruit, but if you want to train them well, and let them have strong enough combat effectiveness, it is not a day or two can be done, before the outbreak of the zombie virus, the United States has the world's largest military strength, and the quality of soldiers is also among the top in the world, so I really hope that you can provide me with some help, such as giving me some experienced officers and instructors to help us select the next batch of recruits who are about to enlist, And systematic training. ”
Hillary was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Xie, I also want to discuss this matter with you, we still have nearly 40,000 soldiers in the United States, and when they came to China, they have been disarmed and turned into ordinary labor, these soldiers are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles, I hope that your country's political axe can reorganize these soldiers, if that happens, it can gather a very strong combat effectiveness, and it will also be of great help to your country." ”
Xie Tian smiled slightly, and said: "If you want to restore the armament of these people, it is not impossible, but for the sake of security and stability, the soldiers of your country must unconditionally obey our arrangement, of course, we will also guarantee to treat your [***] people, the same as my [***] people, and your [***] people enjoy the same treatment as my [***] people." ”
Hillary Clinton looked at Xie Tian and asked lightly: "Mr. Xie, I'm afraid that your country means to break up all our troops and then integrate them into the [***] team, right?" ”
"Yes." Xie Tian no longer concealed it, nodded and said: "Only in this way can we ensure the stability of Shanghai, but whether to agree or not, you can consider it for yourself." ”
"Okay." Hillary looked like I had already guessed, and said: "In this case, then I will hand them over to your [***] team for unified management, but I have a request, for the security of Xuhui District and deal with various emergencies, I need an armed army of 500 people, 500 people, Mr. Xie should not have to worry, right?" ”
Xie Tian nodded indifferently and smiled: "Five hundred people is no problem, Your Excellency the President can order his subordinates to be responsible for the statistics, hand over the list of five hundred people to me, and we will give a certain number of individual weapons to maintain the security of your country's station." ”
"That's good." Hillary Clinton never had the luxury of hoping that it would be possible for her to actually master enough combat effectiveness, and the 500 armed quotas were only used to strengthen the management of the American political axe in Xuhui District, and most importantly, there must be enough threats to prevent the people from committing illegal and criminal acts, to put it bluntly, the police.
"As for the training of recruits," Xie Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "We are about to start building a very large recruit training base in Suzhou, and this matter has already begun to operate, and a large number of required materials have been delivered to Suzhou, and there are enough Zhanpeng prepared there, and formal training can start in a week at most." ”
