"Go! The rest of you start counting from left to right, and the first and second soldiers go to the warehouse to get three targets and tools to set up them! Then set the target a hundred meters east of here."

Xia Lin nodded and commanded.

When Paul brought the remaining two sentries back to the North Gate outpost, and the target was also set, Xia Lin looked at the two sentries who were not even standing in a standard posture and shook his head:

"Now, in the name of the deputy division commander of the New Army, I ask you two First Class Privates and Sergeant Lauren to conduct a 100-calibrated target shooting test, in a vertical posture, each selecting a target, and passing the test requires five out of ten.

If you are not qualified, I will directly let you retire unconditionally as the deputy division commander, cancel all welfare allowances and benefits of the soldiers of the new army, and at the same time let the Xinglan Industrial Park never hire you, start your performance now, see if you have slept so much these days, can you help you pass this test!"

"What? Sir?! This ......."

Sergeant Lauren's heart trembled when he heard Xia Lin's words, and finally knew what Xia Lin meant by loading his rifle.

"What is this? Sergeant Lauren, you didn't report to the commander according to the disciplinary regulations, if you pass this test, you take the penalty yourself and run ten laps, and you don't pass the test, then forget it, our new army doesn't need soldiers who don't have a sense of discipline in their hearts."

Xia Lin said with a calm face.

"Yes! Sir!"

With the lesson of the squad leader, the two sentries could only be ordered to start the shooting test, it can be seen that the two soldiers are very unfamiliar with the shooting training project, and the posture of standing and holding the gun is not standard, Xia Lin just took a cursory look, and sentenced the two soldiers to death in his heart.

The result was also as he expected, although the two soldiers did their best, aiming and aiming, but the first six of the ten bullets only hit one and two respectively, and the next four, because of the increase in psychological pressure, they even trembled a little with the arm holding the gun, so they missed a single shot.

On the other hand, Lauren, who was the leader of the 1223 class, performed better, hitting four out of ten bullets, but the difference in one shot decided his defeat. When the test was over, both young soldiers looked depressed, and Lauren bowed his head with a pale face, unable to accept that he was going to be retired.

As a sergeant, he can receive a monthly salary of eighty silver mar from the new army, and there are many invisible benefits to enjoy, such as paper and pen and ink, double dormitory, supper after cultural classes in the evening, etc., but now, those things have nothing to do with him, without these things, how can he go back to explain to his family?

It turned out that he was the pride and dependence of the family, having lost the position of squad leader and sergeant rank of the new army, then he was nothing. Realizing this, Lauren suddenly found that he was not sorry for the preferential treatment given to him by the new army in his daily life, and he couldn't help but regret it even more.

"Okay, since you don't like to stay in the New Army, don't want to abide by the rules and regulations of the New Army, and don't want to complete the training tasks of the New Army, then you can go back and be an ordinary citizen!"

Xia Lin asked people to step forward and take away the rifles in the hands of the three people, and turned back to the deputy squad leader who dared to stand up just now and said:

"Corporal, your name is Paul Baker, right? In the future, you will be the squad leader of the 1223 squad of the 4th Regiment of the New Army, and you can choose one person to be your deputy, and the relevant promotion documents will be sent to your class later!"

"No! Deputy Division Commander Xia Lin, I participated in the Battle of the Southeast Gate, for the sake of our bloody battle that day, can you give me another chance! I will definitely train hard in the future and fulfill my duties as a squad leader!"

Hearing that his position had been obtained by Paul, Lauren's head buzzed, and he suddenly remembered the identity of this young commander of the new army, and rushed towards Xia Lin, but was mercilessly stopped by the soldiers brought by Xia Lin from the first military camp of the new army.

"The old man of the Battle of the Southeast Gate? No wonder you can become the class leader of Class 1223, but it's a pity that you have lived up to the trust that Division Commander Ley has placed in you.

Rest assured! You won't be the last to be expelled from the New Army, and now that the New Army is so chaotic, there will be one

A great crowd will be with you."

Xia Lin's requirements for discipline are not bad at all, and he can forgive him if he relaxes a little in other places, but for such an important post as a sentry, this squad leader actually made a fuss for himself, and Xia Lin couldn't bear it.

He glanced at this veteran of the new army with regret, and asked Paul to take over the daily management of the 1223 class as soon as possible, while he led people to the fourth barracks, comprehending the sentry's laxity, and he had no expectations for the current situation of the new army.

When the crowd dispersed, only Lauren and the two soldiers who looked a little annoyed but did not realize the seriousness of the problem were left.

The current new area is Xia Lin's territory, and the influence of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce on the new area will become greater and greater in the future, such as those who joined the new army and made a file and were expelled from the new area, all industries related to the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce will not employ them in the future, except for doing some business on their own, or going to the new area to beg for a living, they have already been sentenced to death in the new area.

Came to the playground of the fourth military camp, Xia Lin quickly found Ley's party waiting next to the playground, apparently someone had already informed Xia Lin of the news of his arrival, Xia Lin stepped forward and did not greet Ley, but opened the door and said:

"Division Commander Ley, I heard that you have been in some trouble recently, and now it seems that this trouble is not small, what is the situation of the New Army now? Tell me about it!"

"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you, Deputy Division Commander Xia Lin. As for the current situation of the new army, I can only say that both you and I have overestimated our management capabilities before, and training 2,000 and 6,000 people is a very different concept.

Although we are all training the new army according to your "Infantry Drill Code", for various reasons, the new army is still only at this level, and if we go to the battlefield, I am afraid that the knights will be defeated before they rush in front of them."

Ley Rand's eyes were bloodshot and his face was a little blue, obviously he hadn't had a good rest for a while, he smiled helplessly, and explained to Xia Lin.

"How so? Even if we increase in size from 2,000 to 6,000, won't the number of soldiers we train also grow to more than 600? It shouldn't be a problem to pick out some qualified instructors from among them!"

Xia Lin was puzzled, so he had to continue to ask.

"It's not a problem with instructors, it's a problem with officers, we only have 2,000 people, and 1,000 of them are non-commissioned officers sent by the military in the north, and most of the 1,000 people we directly have trained ourselves.

Now the size of the army has expanded to 6,000 people, of which the vacancy of squad and platoon leaders alone exceeds 200 people, and the original background of this part of the new army can still be satisfied, but at the company level and battalion level, we simply do not have so many suitable middle-level officer candidates to fill these positions.

These positions involve a lot of importance and cannot be decided lightly, so at present, many senior officers of the new army are concurrently holding several positions by one person, and in this case, plus you have recently added to the training program the training program of light machine guns and auxiliary arms such as baggage soldiers, engineers, and medical troops, we are simply too busy.

Originally, many of the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles were also dissatisfied with the discipline regulations, and they even released water everywhere as non-commissioned officers, but during the previous exercises, I realized that something was wrong, so I asked Her Majesty the Empress to postpone the attack of the Forces nouvelles."
