After Nie Wenzhou, who had been depressed for several days, determined that he couldn't go back, he decisively developed " ambition."
He was a transmigrator with a golden finger. If he could not achieve anything, wouldn't he lose face for the Space Administration? Therefore, after thinking about it, Nie Wenzhou's goal was to become a warlord.
After analyzing the situation in detail, he felt that it was a little stupid to rely on others. If he relied on someone else, although it seemed like he had a temporary backer, it would be difficult for him to develop independently in the future. Although the transmigrators used the warlords and then fell out with others, it didn't seem like much, but that was in a novel.
The reality was that, except for a small number of foreign students who accepted the self-interest of foreign countries and those ambitious people, most people in the country paid great attention to their own credibility. This was a person's signboard. It determined how others viewed you and whether they would rely on you, unless Nie Wenzhou wanted to be an unimportant person.
As a person who wanted to do great things, Nie Wenzhou felt that he had to manage his reputation well. However, warlords of all sizes were everywhere now, and it was impossible without a reliable base.
After much thought, Nie Wenzhou turned his gaze to Yuxi, which was just a stone's throw away. This place was close to the mountainous regions of Hubei, Henan, and Shaanxi. There were many bandits and their forces were chaotic. As long as he quickly absorbed them, he would be able to have at least tens of thousands of troops. At that time, he would have a foothold.
Thus, Nie Wenzhou spent three months training hundreds of servants and clearing the passage of the country's weapons before he launched a sneak attack on the Mao 'er Mountain.
Now, together with some of the victims and the families of the bandits, Nie Wenzhou had more than 3,000 people under his command. A regiment of more than 1,300 people had more than 800 guns. When the first batch of 5,000 Mauser and more than 10 75th Mountain Cannons arrived, they would be able to move out wantonly and take in the bandits and local armed forces in the nearby counties.
Nie Wenzhou had plenty of money, but it was very hurtful to not have guns! Now that the war was coming to an end, the Dé people were obviously weaker. Defeat was only a matter of time. The Dé people were very low-key in the world, only in China.
The person who smuggled the guns had joined the United States and brought a pirated Mauser from the United States. Otherwise, there would be no original Mauser from the United States.
Foreigners had special privileges in the Republic of China. Even the local warlords did not dare to investigate the smuggling of goods. They had to divide the goods into several batches before they could transport tens of thousands of guns and ammunition over. They had to secretly use other goods as a cover to avoid being discovered by the big warlords.
What made Nie Wenzhou speechless was that he clearly had an industrial system, but it seemed like he couldn't use it now. He had no choice. There was no one and no territory now. Even if he had industrial equipment, it would be useless.
Fortunately, he had a lot of money now. He began to gather the people in the family area for education and training. The adults began to train industrial production capacity, and the children were gathered for school education. As for teachers? Hehe, then he must have been forced into a corner!
Two days later, the first batch of 5,000 guns and some ammunition finally arrived! Nie Wenzhou gathered all the officers above the company level for a meeting. These people were made up of his servants and some of the bandit backbones. The list was as follows:
Leader Nie Wenzhou, Vice-Leader Long Mulan (incorporated bandit),
Political Commissar Deng Kewu, Chief of Staff Xiao Liju (incorporated bandits);
Zhang Liang and Wu Xin, the deputy battalion commanders of the first battalion, and Tao Jiadu, the political commissar;
Li Lin and Wu Miaocai, deputy battalion commanders of the second battalion, and Liang Shuzhuo, political commissar;
Third Battalion is the deputy battalion commander Guan Donglai, literature Ming, political commissar Zhao Qiang;
Four battalion is deputy battalion commander money is not enough, Li Ruhai, political commissar Fang one year;
The deputy battalion commanders of the artillery battalion, Feng Yunfei and Lan Tianqi, and the political commissar Han Yuxiao;
The deputy battalion commanders of the baggage battalion, Ji Hua and Su Xile, and the political commissar, Gao Wei.
To be honest, Nie Wenzhou didn't want to arrange so many people in the beginning because he only had 1,300 people. On average, a battalion only had 200 people.
However, there was no other way. The next stage would be a big move. When the time came, there would be more people to recruit. If the establishment could not keep up, it would be annoying to arrange the establishment every two or three days.
Therefore, he had to arrive one step ahead of time. After all, he would use the method of firepower first. Although there were fewer people, the firepower should be enough.
"Alright, let the meeting begin. In the past, we didn't have enough people and didn't have enough confidence. Now, everything is ready except for the east wind. Our goal is to recruit all the bandits in the nearby counties within a month. I don't care if you recruit people on your own or pull people from other places. I want to expand the entire army to an elite division of 20,000 people in two months!”
Nie Wenzhou had directly stated the next step of the plan at the beginning of the meeting, and the others were first delighted and then shocked.
They were happy that if the army was expanded, everyone would definitely be promoted. They were shocked by the recruitment and training of personnel. They were all small figures and were not familiar with training and fighting. There was still a big difference between bandits and regular troops.
"Young Master, we are all ordinary people. We don't know how to lead troops to war!" Zhang Liang, the battalion commander, said boldly. Wouldn't it be a little rushed to suddenly recruit so many people?”
"Is that what you all think? Don't worry, I've always emphasized that if we can't solve it with cannons, we won't use guns. If we can solve it with guns, we won't use knives. If we can solve it with knives, we won't risk our lives. This will be the case for all the troops in the future.
"I don't want you to become famous generals immediately, but you have to work hard to learn. All famous generals are born from fighting on the battlefield. I want you to learn during this period of time because I want you to understand that you have to constantly learn new abilities on the battlefield in the future and learn to be flexible.
"I have no choice. I have never fought in a war myself. Everyone is the same. You have weapons in your hands and sufficient ammunition. If you can't win even with this, then resign to your fate!”
Nie Wenzhou was actually very conflicted. He also knew that it was good to have formal training, but there were no conditions now. No one from the official military academy would be interested in their small group, and if they wanted to hire an instructor to train them, there was no time for them. They could only chase the ducks. If they didn't have enough command, they would make up for it with numbers. If they didn't have enough quality, they would make up for it with firepower.
In fact, after Yuan Datou's death, the various warlords expanded their armies. Other than a few divisions, they still maintained the elites of the Beiyang era. Most of their combat strength was worrying.
During this period of chaotic warfare, there were not many people who died on the battlefield. Most of the deaths were due to injuries that could not be treated, as well as civilian casualties caused by the chaos of soldiers and bandits.
When warlords of various sizes fought, there were only a handful of them who could maintain 30% of their casualties without being defeated. Most of them were defeated after losing 10%. Or one side's outflanking, rear, and other factors could cause the other side to lose morale and surrender.
Surrender was a common occurrence in warlord battles. Ordinary soldiers sometimes belonged to this camp, and sometimes belonged to the commander. They were all just trying to make a living. Otherwise, how could Ye Ting's independent regiment, which lacked guns and cannons, still be able to defeat the strong enemy? It was just that their willpower and command surpassed the other party's. In terms of firepower alone, they were really not much!
Nie Wenzhou's only advantage over the warlords was the political commissar, as well as eight dollars per person per month, a large amount of pension, and a comprehensive disability settlement. Therefore, these 1,000 people were all shouting and thinking about fighting and making contributions all day long.
