On this day, Long Mulan and Zhang Liang finally arrived at the village.
Everyone had been separated for a month, and many people began to exchange pleasantries. The main battalions were also comparing their battle results.
" Our 1st Battalion conquered 12 bases from the north to the south, recruited 2,800 people, and recruited 3,000 new recruits along the way…
"Our Second Battalion has taken out thirteen troops from the south to the north, taking in three thousand people and recruiting more than three thousand people…
"Our 3rd Battalion…
"Our 4th Battalion…
．．．．．．
What was originally a good exchange of pleasantries had turned into a bragging and competition.
As their superiors, Long Mulan, Deng Kewu, and Xiao Liju naturally wouldn't join them.
As the political commissar, Deng Kewu had no choice but to stop them before they turned into a quarrel.
"I said enough is enough. What's with all this noise? Is it appropriate for Young Master to come out and see you like this? You're high-ranking officers after all. Can't you set a good example for your subordinates? Where is the military discipline?"
Although Deng Kewu was only at the primary school level, he was from a traditional private school and spoke with a refined tone.
After half a year of Nie Wenzhou's training, he had become much more enlightened.
The reason he was chosen for this position was that he was the most knowledgeable person, and he had the elegant style of a traditional scholar. In this military camp where rough men gathered, he was the only one who could make everyone respect him.
In this era, most people were illiterate.
To be able to read and write was an amazing existence in the eyes of ordinary people. To be able to go to middle school was to be a scholar in the past. To be able to go to university was equivalent to being a scholar. To be able to return from overseas was to be an elite among elites.
As for whether or not they had real talent, that was not within the consideration of ordinary people.
Therefore, when Deng Kewu spoke, everyone fell silent.
Although he was not convinced, he had to maintain his reputation.
Fortunately, they didn't feel awkward for long before Nie Wenzhou came out lazily from behind.
During this period of time, he had requisitioned a house as the military base. Other than occasionally attending classes, leading the recruits to run drills, and giving pointers to these uncouth people, he had been lazing around as much as possible.
He had actually arrived a long time ago, but after hearing their argument, he wanted to see how these officers were doing.
It was fine if he didn't listen to it, but once he heard it, he couldn't help but sigh. Where there were people, there would be martial arts. It was indeed the truth!
Now, they were only at the battalion level, and they were already learning how to show off. If they were to reach a higher position in the future, would it be because they didn't like each other or because they weren't willing to admit defeat that it would affect their plans?
Just like the war between the Japanese and the Japanese, it almost affected the subsequent battles.
If not for the fact that Baldy was too weak, he would have been able to use this opportunity to push back.
After Nie Wenzhou entered, he went straight to the main seat. After everyone bowed, they sat down in turn.
"Since everyone has shown their contributions just now, let's commend and reward them first!”
Everyone's hearts sank when they heard this.
Other than a few heartless people, everyone thought to themselves,"Oh no, Young Master (Commander) is going to go crazy."
Sure enough, Nie Wenzhou didn't disappoint and slammed the table.
"You motherf * ckers have only been out for a few days and you think you're famous generals! These bandits were not even comparable to the local security team in a head-on fight. You're the only ones who take them seriously. Are you feeling smug with such a small achievement? Generals!"
Everyone hung their heads. They were all commoners or bandits. Such a result would definitely be very good in the past.
Unfortunately, he was now under Nie Wenzhou's command. He had to contend with the various warlords. This achievement was just a goal for training.
Nie Wenzhou's voice softened after establishing his dominance. After all, leading ten or a hundred people was different from leading ten million people. In the past, he could take care of everyone, but now he could only take care of balance.
"Alright, put away your pride. Let's start the meeting now. First, report your gains and losses.”
Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief and looked at each other.
Deng Kewu saw that no one moved, so he could only take the lead to report.
Among these people, Long Mulan and Xiao Liju were bandits who had been recruited. They felt that they were one level lower in front of everyone and did not want to be in the limelight. The other battalion commanders were a little anxious.
" Young Master, we killed over a thousand bandits along the way, captured over five thousand people, and recruited over seven thousand new soldiers along the way. We also seized gold, oceans, and other money worth over five hundred thousand…
Xiao Liju, who was on the other side of the road, also gave a report. The general idea was similar.
Nie Wenzhou had participated in this journey, so he knew a lot of the results.
After reading all the battle reports, Nie Wenzhou realized that there were more than 25,000 people in total. It seemed that his plan to reorganize the division could be carried out ahead of schedule.
He turned around and asked Long San, who was in charge of logistics and purchasing,""How many guns and ammunition do we have now?”
Long San had been traveling around to purchase all kinds of supplies, and it was rare for him to meet everyone this time.
"Young Master, all the guns and ammunition that we purchased have been transported to Maoer Mountain, including 30,000 rifles, 5,000,000 rounds of ammunition, 50 75th Mountain Cannons, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and 100,000 grenades. Three million catties of rations, cloth, and other military products had been stored in the warehouse. Excluding those that had already been distributed, there were 23,000 rifles, 3,000,000 rounds of ammunition, 30 cannons, 6,000 rounds of ammunition, and 70,000 grenades. This is the list of other food and other materials.”
Nie Wenzhou picked it up and looked at it. He realized that these things looked like a lot, but once they were distributed, they were actually pitifully little.
If he were to form an entire division, it would be a force of more than 20,000 people. On average, the rifles were barely enough, but the ammunition was too little.
He planned to train everyone to at least 100 rounds of ammunition and 20 rounds of artillery before starting to send troops to occupy the area.
But now, it looked like he had almost used up all his stock. He still had to continue buying.
"It's too little. Continue buying. He would buy ten million bullets, five hundred thousand grenades, as well as more cannons and cannonballs.”
Long San nodded.
"Now that everyone knows about their family background, I'll talk about the reorganization this time. This time, I said that I would form a 20,000-man division. Each division would be promoted according to their original rank. Battalion would be promoted to regiment, company to battalion, brigade to be temporarily abolished, and they would be promoted according to their merits in the future.
The 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th regiments would be added. The battalion commanders of the regiments would be promoted from their original deputy positions, and the insufficient officers would be promoted from below. Each department would have to recommend some talents.
Starting from tomorrow, each department would fill up their ranks as soon as possible. The chief officers above the battalion level would be temporarily appointed by the division headquarters, and the officers below the battalion level would be arranged by the battalion regiments themselves and reported to the division headquarters for filing.
There are a lot of new recruits. We have to mobilize the old and guide the new to form combat strength as soon as possible. All of this has to be completed within a month. We don't have much time left... If you have any other questions, you can ask them now.”
