The establishment of the Lantian Military Academy had a certain impact throughout the country. From the public recruitment to the arrival of the German instructor team, it caused a sensation throughout the country.
The Great Powers were helpless. These instructors had already been discharged from the military, so they could not find trouble with them. Meanwhile, the warlords were extremely nervous. This Nie Wenzhou was really good at making trouble. He had suppressed the reputation of Baoding. After all, Baoding did not have so much money to hire so many instructors. Most of them were taught by their own people. However, now everyone thought that foreigners were awesome. The people from Baoding were definitely better educated. Therefore, when the People's Army fought against the Northern Ocean, the people from Baoding were all in high spirits and competed with the People's Army. The battle suddenly became much more difficult.
Nie Wenzhou couldn't care less about their thoughts. He was going to carry out a comprehensive adjustment and reorganization of all the troops.
Previously, the People's Army only had the strength of seven regiments in name, but in reality, there were more than 30,000 people who had been converted from prisoners, more than 20,000 new recruits, more than 2,000 garrison regiments that had been established in various counties, and the protection regiments of the major military factories and departments. There were nearly 300,000 people in total. Although not all of them were elites, it was still very easy for them to assist in defense.
Now, after two months of training, they could organize new troops. Therefore, Nie Wenzhou planned to form three more divisions, which would be the 8th, 9th, and 10th divisions. The three divisions were all full fledged divisions that had been gathered from various aspects. The personnel were not bad, but the armaments were somewhat insufficient.
Due to the expansion of more than a dozen production lines, the monthly production of rifles was no longer one or two thousand, but more than 17,000, with an annual output of nearly 200,000. Although they didn't have that many now, it was enough to satisfy the main force. As for the local troops, they could only use Mauser rifles. Although it was the best among the other forces, the people's army no longer looked up to it.
Cannons were a little lacking. It was not the same as being able to produce and expand the scale. Due to the lack of skilled workers, the production of cannons over 75mm was slow. They could only produce about 80 per month. The 7th Division had been emptied out, and now each division could only get about 40 cannons. The 105-caliber artillery was only equipped by the Guard Brigade and the 1st Division. Fortunately, there were enough mortars.
There was no need to worry about ammunition. The demand for copper was too great now, and they could not afford to buy too much! However, with the completion of the two large factories in Xi'an and Gongxian, the demand for raw materials for ammunition production increased sharply. Long San had complained more than once that he had too much money to buy raw materials.
It was precisely because of this that Nie Wenzhou wanted to reorganize and adjust the army. He thought about how Beiyang had offended him last time, and he hadn't fought back yet. This time, he should take over his province and teach them a lesson. As for the direction, he chose Suiyuan, which was nearby.
The mines and other resources in the Baobao area were something he had to obtain. It had nothing to do with ambition, and he was forced by the factory. The resources they needed to build so many factories were too great. It was not something that a poor Shaanxi province could provide. Although the Hanzhong Steel Plant could produce hundreds of thousands of tons of iron ore annually, its iron ore output was not enough, and its reserves were too small.
In order to achieve a series of goals, Nie Wenzhou had to expand the number of troops. With the addition of the three new divisions, the People's Army would have 10 reorganized divisions, a total of 200,000 people. With the addition of the local garrison troops, Nie Wenzhou was confident that he could clash with any forces in the country.
The reorganization of the three divisions was not something that could be completed in a short period of time. After transferring so many officers to the military academy for rotation training, there was a shortage of officers again. As a last resort, he had to promote some of the original main force regiment commanders and other officers to cooperate with the original Jingguo army officers to reorganize. The division commanders arranged for the former Second Division Deputy Commander Wu Miaocai, the former Third Division Deputy Commander Wen Xueming, and the former Guard Brigade Brigade Commander Zhang Shiyi, who were staying behind. They were all people who had followed Nie Wenzhou since early on. They were loyal and capable, and they did not lack battle experience.
As for the original military and political classes, they would be abolished. They would either enter the military school or the newly established political and law school to continue their studies, or they would be arranged to take up jobs in various places. Now, the mission of this teaching class had been completed. After all, his teaching was not very formal, and many of them were discovered by themselves.
Other schools were also under construction, such as the comprehensive Chang 'an University, the Medical University, the College of Agriculture and Forest, the College of Geography, the College of Finance and Economics, and various other technical colleges. The entire Xi'an was full of construction projects and students from all over the world came to study. These students came from all over the country, and Nie Wenzhou paid them half of their tuition fees, part-time work, and other benefits. They could even sign an employment contract with Nie Wenzhou. As long as they worked in Nie Wenzhou's company for five years after graduation, they could study for free.
Nie Wenzhou couldn't care less about the timing of the start of school. As long as the teachers and students were in place, they could start classes in the newly built school. Nie Wenzhou looked at the information of these students and realized that more than half of them were not fresh graduates. They did not choose to work because their families could not afford to go to college. However, the current policy of free education was still very beneficial to them. After all, where they worked was not a job. I heard that the salary here is higher than other places. You can go to university and earn more money in the future. Only a fool wouldn't come!
Therefore, there were many students of different ages. It was fine. These schools were built according to the scale of 10,000 students, so there was no need to worry about not having enough space. As for teachers, they might not be able to recruit that many people in the country. Nie Wenzhou asked Gao Hongtai and the others to try to find as many teachers as possible there. Now that the entire country and the original Austro-Hun Empire were in chaos, although the school was better, they should be able to recruit some people with more money!
The compulsory education within the jurisdiction area had also begun to be fully implemented. Several well-known scholars were supervising it. Most of the people were very supportive. Not only could they save the food for a meal, but they could also let the children learn knowledge. Most people were in favor of it. The strange opponents chose to submit in the face of mandatory measures. Anyway, they wanted their children to go. They could even save money if they went!
The area under the jurisdiction of half a province was full of construction frenzy, which was different from the rest of the country. The lively scene made anyone who entered the district unable to help but yearn for it. Some people had originally come to take a look because of its reputation, but after arriving, most of them chose to stay. This led to a very strange phenomenon. For a period of time, people and materials from all over the country were flowing in this direction, as if there was some magic here.
Nie Wenzhou was a little regretful now. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have played so big. Now that he had a big business at home, he couldn't bear to put down the many pots and pans. He could only walk forward quietly. During this period of time, he had completed all the adjustments from the military to the people's livelihood. If it weren't for the fact that there were girls massaging him or chatting with him from time to time, he would probably feel that his life was really inhuman!
