Soon, the battlefield was cleaned up. Su Zhenze ordered Third Platoon Leader Zhang Dahai and Third Platoon Leader to guard the spoils of war here. At the same time, they dug a big pit to bury all the corpses of the bandits here. He himself led the first platoon to follow Wang Houzi to Black Wind Stronghold to collect their inventory. At the same time, he ordered the third squad leader to follow the second platoon leader Li Ruilong to the Qingyun Stronghold to collect the bandits 'assets.
Of course, there were not many bandits left behind. The two troops successfully dealt with the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals. After burning down the two strongholds, they escorted the spoils of war and met up with the third platoon leader. They returned to Xiayang Dam together.
……
The sun was setting in the west and the autumn wind was blowing. Unlike the past, where the soldiers were training every day, the Xiayang dam was silent at this time. From afar, only Su Zhenze was speaking loudly on the high platform. A grand commendation meeting was being held.
"All the soldiers of the Xiayangba Self-Defense Force, today, you have defeated the most ferocious, arrogant, and arrogant bandits in the vicinity! I believe that you are now the strongest group of warriors within 80 kilometers of the Su Family Residence!”
All the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces were flushed. They had always protected the bandits and bullied them. When had they ever dared to think of killing these bandits? However, ever since Su Zhenze came, everything was different. Not only were they given land, but they also had hope in their lives. They were also allowed to join the Self-Defense Forces and could read and write. They were given steamed buns and pork for every meal. Not only were they rewarded with silver, but they were also rewarded with special military merits. More importantly, they had eliminated the horse bandits who had always been like a fishbone in their throats. They could not imagine that this had happened in the past month.
"But should we be satisfied? Should he feel that all of this was enough? Should it end like this?”Seeing that everyone was immersed in the glorious battle results of these days, Su Zhenze sent out three questions in a row, causing everyone to think.
"I think you all have your own answers, but my answer is no! We shouldn't compromise just like that. We haven't done enough! Some of you feel that we have done well enough. The bandits have been eliminated and should stop for a while!”
"But can we stop? Why was this dogshit world so chaotic? Why didn't anyone have a bite to eat? Why doesn't anyone care if we live or die?”
"It's because these people in power are not doing anything. They always tell us that we will live. No, they will live! The current military government, corrupt officials, and wealthy businessmen would survive! Because no one cares about our lives!”
"They only care about money! If they find out that everyone in our Su Residence has land and every family has money, they will definitely break into our house and take them away! If we don't make preparations early, what should we do when the time comes?”
Su Zhenze questioned everyone loudly, but everyone's faces were filled with confusion and confusion, as if they did not know the answer.
"Then let me tell you! Since such a warlord government can't protect us but wants to exploit us, then we must resist, unite, and overthrow them! Build a country that belongs to our people!”
"Good!" Cheers and applause resounded throughout the entire training ground. Su Zhenze's words gave them an answer. Since no one cared about the lives of the poor in this chaotic world, they could only rely on themselves to build a force for the poor.
After Su Zhenze's public speech, he began to publicly reward the meritorious personnel of the Self-Defense Forces, including promotion, money, and merit.
At the same time, he selected three deputy platoon leaders. They were Su Ruixi, the class leader of the first platoon, Zhao Bike, the class leader of the second platoon, and Li Wu, the class leader of the second platoon.
After the commendation ceremony was a complete success, Su Zhenze gave everyone a day off and asked them to bring back all the spoils of war they had obtained this month to see the changes in their homes. However, they had to strictly keep the details of the bandit suppression operation a secret.
After the ordinary officers and soldiers had left, in the command room of Xiayang Dam, Su Zhenze was having a meeting with the platoon officers of the Self-Defense Force. The main topic of the meeting was to discuss the development of the Self-Defense Force of Xiayang Dam.
Su Zhenze immediately gave the current situation of Guangfeng County where he was located." Now, our Guangfeng County is under the so-called Marshal Ma. Ma Yicheng is the county magistrate and has roughly a regiment of troops under him. Ever since he was supported by the warlord Yang Zhanshan in the northeast of Jiangxi Province two years ago, he has not been involved in anything for the past two years. He has allowed his subordinates to collect taxes and collect taxes again and again. He has wantonly collected money. Now, it is said that he has already taken in the eighth wife!”
"The entire Guangfeng County is already complaining about this County Chief Ma, so this is a good time for us to replace him!”
"Alright, I will now announce the arrangements for our Xiayang dam's self-defense!”
"All rise!" Wang Yongxiang, who was sitting at the head of the table below Su Zhenze, saw that the company commander was about to announce the plan and said seriously.
After everyone stood up in unison, Su Zhenze said solemnly.
"In order to finally take over Guangfeng County, I have decided to change the name of the Xiayang Self-Defense Force to the Xiayang Independent Battalion. We will expand the existing company to a reinforced battalion of 500 people. The entire company will be divided into four companies, each with a full strength of 120 people.”
"Now, I appoint Wang Yongxiang, Li Ruilong, Zhao Dahai, and Su Ruixi as company commanders respectively. Platoon leaders will be automatically promoted from the positions of class monitor and deputy class monitor! At the same time, the deputy platoon leader and deputy company commander will not be appointed for the time being, and I, Su Zhenze, will be the battalion commander of the independent battalion!”
"Yes, sir! Battalion Commander!" These platoon leaders had long been trained by Su Zhenze in modern military theory, so they naturally knew the basic division of positions in the modern army. Now that the Self-Defense Force had changed from a company to a battalion, they had all been promoted. They could manage more soldiers, earn more money, and have a higher status.
After announcing the short-term plan, Su Zhenze emphasized some details and ordered everyone to formulate an expansion plan for each company. Moreover, he emphasized that it should be carried out in secret.
Su Zhenze, who was alone in the command room, took out a letter from the drawer and opened it to read.
This was a telegram from Jared, who had been in M Nation for a month and a half. The telegram was full of code words that he had agreed on with Su Zhenze in advance. The translation roughly meant that he had now opened a clothing company called Sven in M Nation. According to some business proposals that Su Zhen had given him, his company's lipsticks, stockings, and perfumes were sold well in the United States. His company had already earned tens of millions and was still increasing. He was asking about his next step.
After reading Jared's letter, Su Zhenze was pleasantly surprised. This system talent was really not bad! They could open up the M Nation market so quickly! He was just thinking about the military expansion plan and was still short of 70 to 80 guns.
Moreover, Su Zhenze did not want to use the guns to train the new independent battalion. They would not have to face the untrained bandits from before, but some warlords. They had really fought in battles. The performance of the guns could not compare to the guns of these warlords. He did not want to send his soldiers to their deaths.
Su Zhenze immediately sent a reply to Jared using code words. In the letter, he instructed him to secretly purchase more than 500 Mauser rifles, three Maxim MG08 machine guns, two 65mm mountain cannons, and a number of ammunition. All of them were to be secretly shipped back in batches as soon as possible. At the same time, the letter requested him to acquire a few textile factories, flour factories, clothing factories, and other light industrial factories without affecting the company's operations.
