Suppressing bandits, banning smoking, and fighting corruption were Zhang Zhengzong's three fires.
Everyone could tell that Zong Shuai was serious. He was not someone who was well-informed. He had already closed his stall and waited for the rumors to die down before talking.
There were so many drug users, it was impossible to kill them all. As long as there was a need, there was room for survival.
Other than these three fires, Zhang Zhengzong first killed and replaced the Guards Brigade.
Even though the guards were loyal and devoted, they were still inferior to the elites of the system.
After two months of preparation, Zhang Zhengzong finally released the system's troops and split the two brigades.
One would replace the original Guards Brigade, while the other would be changed to the Teaching Brigade, responsible for the suppression of bandits on the Fengtian Peninsula.
Although he was the one who started the fire, Zhang Zhengzong was still in charge of political affairs and conscription.
Because it was a new army, the soldiers and officers in the army had very high expectations.
Zhang Zhengzong had requested that the new soldiers wear the new military uniforms. The shopkeepers of the major dyeing factories had gathered in the office today. This was a huge order, 50,000 sets of winter and summer uniforms, including matching hats, fur hats, military boots, and rubber boots.
Zhang Zhengzong didn't want the cloth shoes anymore. Although cloth shoes were cheap, they still affected the image of the army.
Just think about it, wearing a new military uniform with lapels, not wearing a pair of beautiful high military boots, but wearing a pair of low-quality cloth shoes, the scene would be unbearable.
However, the biggest problem was funding.
Which warlord didn't want to make their army neat and mighty? But money was the biggest problem. Although it wasn't as expensive as weapons and equipment, it wasn't small either. They couldn't let their soldiers dress like beggars, right?
Was this still an army?
Bandits!
Because of the problem of national strength, many things had to be imported. These were all money.
The newly built Feng army only had one division at the moment, but the cost was three times that of the old Feng army.
This was not even counting the weapons and equipment. After all, the system had already given them to him. Otherwise, Zhang Zhengzong would have gone crazy over the expenditure.
Why did Old Zhang rely on the Japanese? Wasn't it just a matter of money and firearms?
According to the military uniform of the teaching team, the shopkeepers looked at the few sets of goods and muttered about the craftsmanship and materials. They wondered if they could handle it and how much they would ask for to have enough profit.
In the past, the military uniforms of the Feng army and the soldiers were made of the lowest grade linen. The better ones for the officers were woolen, silk, and terylene.
The light industry of the Third Reich was naturally stronger than that of the three eastern provinces. The workmanship of the soldier's uniform was naturally not sloppy, especially for the mustached man who valued the honor of the soldiers.
If he wanted the soldiers to have honor, he had to give them a sense of community and belonging. He also had to dress well and eat well.
Shun Zi talked with the shopkeepers of the various shops for a while. The prices were high and low. After all, the situation of each shop was different.
The reputable ones were Dahua Dyeing Factory, Yuanheng Dyeing Factory, and the Japanese Fujita Corporation.
"How about this? Each family will send a set of samples first. I'll let the marshal see if it works, but I have a request. The quality must be good. If the color fades too much, you'll have to bear the consequences.”
"Deputy Commander Zhang, do you have any other requests?”
"Generally speaking, summer clothes should be able to breathe, and winter clothes should be warm. The fabric can't be too low-grade. For the uniforms of officers of all levels, the fabric grade can be increased.”
Other than the normal uniform, Zhang Zhengzong also brought out a killer weapon. It was a three-colored camouflage uniform. This kind of military uniform was used as a training uniform. Usually, one would wear the normal uniform to look better. If one dressed up nicely, they would be more popular with young ladies and wives.
Camouflage uniforms were mass-produced, and the craftsmanship should not be difficult. The price of mass production would definitely be lower than ordinary clothes. In the future, roadside stalls would only sell one for dozens of yuan.
The military uniforms, weapons, and military supplies were all settled, but the soldiers were not.
The main reason was that the requirements were a little high. In this day and age, it was important that good iron was not nailed, and good men were not soldiers.
How many people died in the battle?
This greatly affected the enthusiasm of most people to join the army. As long as the children of good families had a good future, who would run to be a soldier!
Soldiers these days were not called soldiers, they were called soldiers. Soldiers were not for glory, but for a living.
Not to mention recruiting soldiers who could read, it was even difficult to recruit soldiers who could not read.
At least 20,000 people were gathered and started training sparsely. Rommel had already taken up his post as the chief instructor.
He felt that he was under a lot of pressure. The cultural quality of these recruits was too poor.
Many of the Prussians had a junior high school or even a high school diploma, so it was naturally half the effort when it came to training. Unlike these people, they could not differentiate between left and right.
This country was still a large agricultural country, and most of the recruits were farmers who had just put down their hoes.
However, since Zhang Zhengzong had given him the task, this famous general naturally had his own methods. If he could not even handle this, he did not deserve such a great reputation.
Tang Erhu, Zhang Diaoluan, Zhang Zhengchen, and a few other high-ranking officers of the Feng army gathered together. They watched as the pork, vegetables, canned beef, and other supplies were sent into the new recruits 'camp. They kept muttering in their hearts, What does this seventh brother want?
The food was too good, and the money was spent like water. Although that foreign instructor had some standards, he couldn't be that evil!
They were reluctant to give the canned beef to the soldiers. After all, it was imported. Old Seven was generous and gave it all to the new recruits. He said that their physical fitness was too poor and they needed to be nourished. They were already stuffed.
"Second brother, what do you think this seventh brother is doing?”Zhang Zhengchen had been thinking about that batch of equipment, but unfortunately, he could not get it.
"I say, Eighth Brother, don't think about that batch of equipment. I finally understand that Seventh Brother doesn't like our old brothers anymore. After the new recruits are trained, those who lead the troops have to go to the Martial Lecture Hall.
If you haven't studied, hehehe, sorry, get lost!”Although Tang Erhu lost his military power, he still wandered around. He was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to attract Zhang Zhengzong's attention so that he could be reinstated.
"Yang Guanghui's Lu Shi Sect, Guo Yushu's Military Academy Sect, and the children of our brothers. Old and new mixed together, but Old Seven's ability to mix sand is still so strong.”Zhang Diaoluan knew about Seventh Brother's selection problem, so it was fair!
To be able to join the new army, one had to be capable and have a good character.
"I just want to know who will lead this new unit. Just wait and see. Old Seven doesn't like us. The position of the division commander is either Yang Guanghui or Guo Yushu.”Tang Erhu was furious. These two people were more capable than him, so it was not his turn to be the teacher.
"It's hard to say. Without a year and a half, we won't be able to train these soldiers. On the other hand, the new Guard Brigade and Teaching Brigade are very stubborn. Our Feng army has hope. It's just a matter of time before we enter the pass and unify the world.”
"Then I'll play mahjong with him tonight to sound him out.”Tang Erhu worked very hard and wanted to be reinstated.
"Second Brother, you stabbed Seventh Brother in the back. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to expect him to support you.”Zhang Zhengchen pointed out that he wanted to force Zhang Zhengzong out of the jungle. This was a knot in his heart.
"Yeah, you're not doing things properly." Zhang Diaoluan knew what kind of person Old Seventh was. It was already very good for Tang Erhu to have such a carefree life.
These sworn brothers were sometimes very straightforward and sincere.
