Zhou Changfeng submitted another application to the Navy Department of the Ministry of War, which was quickly approved - an additional food allowance was allocated, plus three cents per person per day, to 0.22 yuan per day.

"Wouldn't that be bad? Our food is unique, so outstanding... I'm afraid of jealousy. Yao Liangchuan expressed concern.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it?

Xie Wancheng replied nonchalantly: "Jealousy? Let the red-eyed guy see our drill norms, which is also unique, who wants to try it? ”

Zhou Changfeng was naturally not worried, Bi was completely unreasonable after all, after all, there were very few people, if anyone really questioned it, then he would directly throw the training order in his face.

Due to the special nature of the beach-rushing landing, the officers and men are likely to have to swim across or wade ashore, and this is extremely physically demanding.

Not to mention anything else, the 5,000-meter lightly armed swimming crossing and the 500-meter fully armed 40-pound swimming crossing alone are enough to make people daunted and shut up.

However, because it is freezing now, the swimming training has not yet been carried out, and it will have to wait until after the beginning of spring next year.

However, even the platoon training and other regular physical training were enough to exhaust the soldiers, and now the most feared thing by the 1st Marine Regiment was the sidecar motorcycle that Zhou Changfeng was sitting on.

When that familiar roar comes, there is a high probability that nothing is good, and it is always "do it again" and "increase the amount" and the like.

Fortunately, there are plenty of funds for purchasing ingredients, otherwise, if you don't consume enough protein and only rely on carbohydrates such as rice, steamed buns, and noodles, such high-intensity physical training will make your body unbearable and greatly affect your health.

In addition, after consideration and consideration, Zhou Changfeng decided to implement transparent management of the internal financial expenses of his unit, a move that surprised many officers at first, but was eventually implemented.

There are many difficulties in building a unit from scratch, but there are also corresponding advantages, and the advantage lies in the fact that the unit is a blank sheet of paper, and there are no long-lasting and indelible chronic diseases and bad habits.

Imagine if he is transferred to a unit that has accumulated shortcomings for a long time, no matter how vigorous Zhou Changfeng is, I am afraid that the final effect will not be very good, and he will even be squeezed out by joining forces.

In the area of internal management and discipline, he was extremely cautious, holding a collective meeting of officers and soldiers every three or five times and making financial expenditures public, and this was almost the end.

Anything more in-depth, such as the Soldiers' Council, would be too risky and unlikely to be allowed by the Ming Dynasty today.

Of course, it is not ruled out that everyone has turned a blind eye, but it is obvious that it is not so "swaggering" to be different.

November 28, 5:30 a.m.

The cold northwest wind carried the wet and cold tide of the Yangtze River and howled, and before dawn, the garrison of the 1st Marine Regiment in Jiangxinzhou was already as busy as ever.

After a lapse of many days, Zhou Changfeng specially asked all the officers and men of the regiment to gather at the colonel field today, and then announced an important matter.

"According to the news from the Ministry of War, our code name has not yet been finalized, and the military flag has been woven, but we are waiting for the code name to be embroidered after it is determined."

"'Ningwu', 'Tengxiang', 'Panlong', there are three options, let's discuss them today, and now the statistics show that the one with the most votes is the code name of our group."

This habit of the Ming army came from nowhere, and there are different opinions, anyway, each division and brigade of the army has its own code name.

Taking the Third Mixed Brigade as an example, its number is the Third Mixed Brigade of the Praetorian Guard, numbered as Unit 1131, codenamed Leopard Tao.

But regimental units also have code names? This is a new thing for the first time, and it also confirms from the side that these two marine regiments will inevitably be expanded in the future.

It can be said that the soldiers are very novel, and the code name of this unit can still be decided by themselves? They were glad to have this sense of respect, which was not common in the past.

While the votes were being distributed and counted, the officers also gathered together to talk non-stop.

In this regard, Zhu Lishuo looked indifferent and said proudly: "I'll just say it, no matter how strong the regiment is, it is still a regiment, and it is still too difficult to work independently, and it has to be a brigade to say the least, so the expansion is inevitable." ”

Xue Can thought for a while and hesitated: "But if it is really expanded to a division, let's ......"

If you don't fight, how can you be promoted so quickly?

If it is really expanded into a division in the past two years, the division commander will either have the rank of brigadier general or major general, and the commander of each regiment must at least be a lieutenant colonel. Obviously, not only can't the circumference wind be reached, but a few of them may also be difficult to promote.

In all fairness, everyone does have a little bit of a "small group" idea, and they all think that Zhou Changfeng, the chief official, is very good, and if someone else comes here, it will not be necessarily.

Later, as the counting of votes was completed, a staff officer reported that the most votes were received by "Beaulie".

The two code names of "Ningwu" and "Tengxiang" are good to listen to, but they are a bit general, and they always feel a little nihilistic, compared to "Panlong", which is more real and vivid.

The so-called dragon is the dragon that lies dormant on the ground and has not ascended to the sky, and it is also the dragon of the water, but it is inferior to the dragon, and at the same time, because of the meaning of the word, the dragon has the meaning of lying on the ground.

Zhou Changfeng nodded and said: "The vote will not deceive, since the soldiers generally like this, then report the application like this." ”

In this way, from the end of November until the end of December, the 1st Marine Regiment was in full swing in basic training.

The amount of training is quite large, and even those carefully selected veterans are so tired that they cry for their fathers and mothers.

However, because of the abundant funds, and at the same time, the pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, and fish in Gyeonggi are cheap and affordable, so the food is impeccable. Almost every day, dinghys or cargo ships depart from the wharf to transport laden loads of food and livestock to Jiangxinzhou.

Therefore, when a team of officers from the Ministry of War boarded the Jiangxinzhou military camp under the leadership of Yang Zhen, they were immediately surprised by this extraordinarily positive atmosphere.

They made a special trip to present the flag, and after a month of training, the 1st Marine Regiment could be regarded as an army.

At that hour, the warm winter sun shone on the earth, and the whole regiment of 4,107 people lined up neatly on the colonel's field, the military band played music, and the whole army sang "The Sun and the Moon Shine Together" in unison.

This is a standard universal military song, which can be used by all three armies, regardless of the branch of the military.

The several military songs currently used by the Ming army are not exciting and majestic enough in Zhou Changfeng's opinion, and they sound more like chanting poems and eulogies, and the same is true of the Ming national anthem "Tianming Dide".

This may be a common feature of monarchies all over the world, such as "God Save the Queen", "The Monarch's Generation", and "Ode to the Holy Song", which are mostly soft and soft, without a sense of excitement and upwardness, and are often singing the praises of the monarch, which is very different from the republican system.

However, what is interesting is that Daming also has a second national anthem called "Fuyao", which is more magnificent and exciting.
