After waiting for them to look for a long time, Nie Wenzhou stepped forward and said,""How is it, Mr. Wang? I didn't lie to you, right? The information and equipment here are more advanced than those overseas. I have what they have, and I have what they don't have.”
"Haha, Young Marshal is indeed trustworthy. The things here are indeed better than I imagined. However, there are many things that I still don't understand. I'm really ashamed!”
"Mr. Wang, you don't have to do this. The factory and raw materials are not ready yet, so let's study them first. We'll try to understand these materials thoroughly when the factory is completed. I'm looking forward to these advanced weapons equipping our country's army to protect our country.”Yes, yes, it must be in his own army. It's impossible for him to help the enemy.
By the time the specialists had settled down and taken all the information back to study, it was almost evening.
......
The factory was still being built, and the second batch of technicians had arrived. With the help of the first batch, it was easy to subdue them.
Nie Wenzhou had nothing to do recently, so he could only return to his desk to see if there was anything he needed to deal with.
Looking at the documents in his hands, the counties had already entered a good stage of development. Due to the success of the bandit suppression, the counties were no longer harassed by bandits and warlords. The people could live in peace, and merchants could trade safely. Everything was a good start.
However, the report on the establishment of police stations in each county required his opinion. Previously, it had always been under military control, but the army had to be trained and defended in all directions. Moreover, if it was always under military control, it would not be easy for the government to carry out its work.
Nie Wenzhou's head hurt. Now, many soldiers who had retired due to injuries had been sent to the countryside to strengthen the grassroots management. There would not be so many people to replenish them in a short period of time. The original police station was mixed with good and bad, so it was impossible to continue using it.
Thinking about it, he should draw some relatively older people from the army, recruit some people for them to train themselves, and finally select a few people with decent character from the original police officers to guide the new ones.
? The expansion of the army was going smoothly. With the exemption of agricultural taxes, high pay, and strict military discipline, the people's army was very popular among the people. The moment the recruitment notice was released, countless people came to apply, dazzling their eyes.
Now, the number of people in the People's Army had reached 40,000. That's right, 40,000. It had doubled in less than a month. However, most of them were new recruits and were still training.
Nie Wenzhou also had a headache. Although the construction of the factory had been very hard, the progress was still slow. Only the brick factory, soap factory, and other light industries could be put to work. Therefore, they had already installed equipment, training, and trial production. The other military industrial plants had just begun.
Because these places used steel structures, the welding parts were unfamiliar. Although welding technology had long existed overseas, it had not yet been popularized. He had never seen it before in China. It took him a long time just to figure it out, and he had barely grasped it now.
......
After a day of handling the official business that required his approval, he went to the military camp the next day.
To be honest, Nie Wenzhou's understanding of the military was limited to the military training back then. However, in the past half a year, his team had been constantly expanding. A battle of this scale was no longer something he could control. So now, although he had strict control over the appointment of officers and logistics, he had gradually put down all the training, battle plans, and commands.
In the military camp, there were people training everywhere. They were undergoing different training according to the time they joined the army. The new recruits recruited during the raider suppression process were now trained in battlefield combat and accurate shooting, but the ones recruited later were still training the formation. In fact, the bandits in the past had not been trained enough. They did not have time at that time, but now many of them had returned to the furnace. The logisticians learned how to drive, the cooks learned how to make dry rations, and so on. In any case, Nie Wenzhou looked like an idle person.
Nie Wenzhou fired a round of bullets out of boredom and went to listen in on the lessons of the officer guidance group. Chief of Staff Xiao Liju was currently in class. Nie Wenzhou gave him a hint to continue, and he listened from behind.
"Let's continue the topic. How can we effectively prevent the other party from ambushing us? We are a newly formed army, and we lack morale and training. If we encounter a surprise attack, it is very likely that our morale will collapse.
"That's why the young marshal has repeatedly asked us to read more military books. Don't think that the ancient military books are useless now. No matter when we fight, we can't avoid factors such as the central command, generals, soldiers, logistics, armaments, time and place.
"Since ancient times, the goal of war has always been the same-to annihilate, defeat, and defeat the enemy. "In this process, we need to play the central diplomatic game, the generals to strategize, the soldiers to be brave and good at fighting, the armaments to be well-prepared, and we need to be firm and decisive on the ever-changing battlefield. None of us can be missing.
"I have never attended a military school, and most of the people here have only started their studies halfway. Although the young commander had already sent people to hire foreign military officers to be instructors, they were not in place yet. So, are we just going to wait like this? No, and it shouldn't be. Our ancestors had the art of war a long time ago. Although times have changed, we can still extract its essence.
"Has anyone here seriously read Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems? Yes, there were still a few. Then, regarding this problem of preventing the other party from ambushing, what should we do?”
The people below were silent. After a while, someone mustered up his courage and said,"I think we can start with setting up camp. We don't understand the ancient people's way of setting up camp, but it's still useful for us to help each other. We can spread out appropriately.
"I think we can use the method of keeping watch in the stockade in the past.”
"Set up traps, pull strings, and set up bells.”
"Go further away before scouting."
"It's better to strike first. We can also strike first!”
With one person eating crabs, there were immediately people who came later to offer suggestions, although they did not know if it would be useful.
Nie Wenzhou was very satisfied with what he heard. Although their method seemed very old-fashioned, it might not be useless in this era. More importantly, he could discover the personalities and habits of these people and find some shrewd, steady, and decisive talents to continue cultivating them as officials. Hesitation and stupidity were not tolerated on the battlefield. They could be careless, but stupidity and cowardice would only lead to their own graves.
In the future, he would gradually delegate the command of the army, but the premise was that these officers could take on heavy responsibilities. Otherwise, it would be better for him to do it personally. However, it seemed that these people were still capable. After their training was over, they would be pulled out to practice. Firstly, they would familiarize themselves with the army, and secondly, they would train their commanding skills.
In the next few days, Nie Wenzhou discussed in detail with them about sand table simulation, fighting, firepower allocation, and other issues. He also looked forward to new things like tanks and airplanes that would appear in the European War. Among them, Li Wenhua, Zhang Shiyi, Qu Tongren, Su Wei, and a dozen other people were selected by Nie Wenzhou. It was a worthwhile trip.
