After this battle, the reputation of Panzhi Flower County spread to the surrounding counties, and it also attracted the attention of several big shots in the two provinces.
Although they would also take a look outside the two provinces, they did not care. Didn't such things happen every day in that place? What was so strange about it?
The only way to develop is through war. Only war can make the people realize that they are in a period of war. Otherwise, peace will be enough to wear away their courage, especially our Z country. It's true that the Z country is easily satisfied, but it's also easy to slack off.
As for Lin Xin, he never lacked materials, but he wanted to slowly build an industrial production base that was separated from the system.
"The most important thing is for our country to be self-sufficient. What he can do is to not have any difficulties in the early stages, such as the industrial mother machine, educating talents, and top-notch talents.
At the same time, he would try his best to make the local talents grow as quickly as possible. At least in terms of education, Lin Xin didn't need to worry.
It was already 1923, and it had been almost four years since he had arrived here. Other than selling most of the firearms, the remaining Type-19 equipment and various types of equipment would not have any problems equipping 700,000 people.
However, the reality was that he only had five divisions and only 100,000 people. His navy and air force were zero.
Military schools had navy and air force related majors, but only the air force had a few planes for training, while the navy only had a few 200-ton river patrol gunboats. But now, Lin Xin was in such an awkward situation. Now that he had a ship but no one, he was considering whether he should let the navy find an island overseas for training.
They couldn't train a gunboat every day. What kind of navy could they train? It was more like a river army.
The only good thing about this war was that the nearby forces did not dare to offend them.
However, the basic requirements for low-grade soldiers were extremely high. It could be said that the combat strength of low-grade soldiers was not inferior to the elite veterans in the warlord army for about three years, except for actual combat experience.
However, high demands naturally came with high returns. The basic salary of a low-grade soldier was five dollars. In addition, there were all kinds of subsidies. Although they were all food and clothing, as long as they did not waste money, they could have a surplus of five dollars a month.
Food, clothing, and accommodation in the army didn't cost money. Unlike the warlord troops, they didn't have any food expenses or clothing expenses. Their salaries were not much different from the low-grade soldiers, but after a month, they basically didn't have any money left.
It was already very frugal to be able to save one yuan.
Therefore, in this era, soldiers needed to be recruited. For example, in Panzhi Flower County, there were still two stages of assessment to be a soldier. Not to mention Country Z, there were very few in foreign countries. During wartime, who cared about your thoughts? You had to join even if you didn't want to.
But Lin Xin hoped to train as many regular soldiers as possible before the war.
Hence, it was obvious that only 100 of the 700 surrendered soldiers could enter the training camp.
The rest were all disqualified without exception.
The recruits who had entered the training camp were very excited. They had finally put on this military uniform. Previously, they were envious of the soldiers of the 3rd Division. Now that they could actually put on this military uniform, there was no need to mention how happy they were.
At this moment, all the soldiers who had entered the training camp were practicing their formation.
This was something that many warlords ignored. The daily education made these prospective recruits change their minds. At the same time, they were deeply fascinated by the instructor's education.
Why? Because the instructors 'lessons were very lively, they could listen to historical stories while changing their minds, so they were always present in the lessons.
"This is meat, right? Old Zhang, look, this is meat. How long has it been since we last ate meat? This is braised pork, right? There's even bone soup. Look, we're eating rice.”After Zhao Tiezhu finished his meal and sat down, a smile blossomed on his face. He said excitedly to his comrades.
"There's actually an apple. I couldn't wait to come over and eat after I finished eating just now. Who knew there would be apples? This was a life that even brigade commanders could not have in the past. I've decided, Old Zhang. For this food, I must go to the army. "Definitely," Zhao Tiezhu said firmly.
Old Zhang rolled his eyes." You swore just because of this? You're too worthless. Can't you learn from me?" "I left it for the 5 yuan. How about it? My ambition is still high, right?" Old Zhang said.
Old Zhang really wanted to slap him when he saw this. However, the two of them had a good relationship and had gone through thick and thin together. He had no choice but to sit down and eat. When he took a bite of the red braised pork, Old Zhang's eyes lit up. Then, he slowly enjoyed the beauty of the food.
At this time, all kinds of industries in Panzhi Flower were developing rapidly. Many businessmen came and went to the light industrial base, which was the source of Panzhi Flower's capital. The Panzhi Flower Chamber of Commerce served the Panzhi Flower County government, and the members were strictly screened.
Lin Xin was very clear about what this group of merchants had done during the end of Ming Dynasty.
It was possible to make money, this was the nature of a businessman, but to make money on a framework, there could not be things like buying a country for profit.
Therefore, the members of the Chamber of Commerce were strictly examined.
But at the same time, it was very convenient to enter the Chamber of Commerce.
In this era, there were many traitorous merchants, but at the same time, there was no lack of patriotic and law-abiding merchants. What Lin Xin wanted to do was to gather them all together, and let the Ministry of Commerce take the lead in conducting business activities.
Lin Xin always remembered the saying,"Without agriculture, one cannot be stable, without commerce, without work, one cannot be strong", and he was constantly fulfilling this sentence. At least, the current Panzhi Flower County had yet to achieve this step, and only solving the three problems of food, clothing, and housing, not even solving the problem of transportation.
It wasn't that he didn't want to solve it, but he couldn't get out at all. He hadn't even managed his own territory, and he wanted to leave?
