Chapter 1651 The officers are ready
“Congratulations to all the new corps commanders. Whether you are promoted through disciplinary performance assessment or stand out through competition, you are all corps commanders who have been promoted on your own merits and are all our Zhejiang Army. of elites, Congratulations."
Zhu Ping'an gathered all the corps commanders who were selected through the discipline examination and the corps commanders who came out of the competition on a high platform, and announced the appointment of their corps commanders in front of the entire battalion. and congratulate them.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity, thank you for your appreciation. From now on, we will swear to serve you to the death, fight the enemy bravely, and live up to your trust." A group of new corps commanders excitedly stepped forward to receive the seal, especially It was the newly recruited Yiwu Corps Commander who was even more excited than words could express. They all knelt down to express their stance and vowed to serve Zhu Ping'an to the death.
"Come on, all corps commanders. You got this by your own merits. No need to thank me. A corps commander is both an honor and a responsibility. The burden on your shoulders is not light. In a word, lead the troops well. , fight a good fight and don’t let me down.”
Zhu Ping'an pulled up the three corps commanders closest to him, signaled all the new corps commanders to stand up, and encouraged them.
"I will not let you down." A group of corps commanders shouted loudly. ,
"Very good." Zhu Ping'an nodded, then faced all the officers and encouraged them, "Don't be discouraged, all the officers who have been unsuccessful, train hard, strictly observe military discipline, and kill the enemy bravely, some of them will be promoted to higher ranks in the future. The opportunity for the Duke."
"Practice well and kill the enemy bravely." The defeated soldiers were inspired by Zhu Pingan and became full of fighting spirit.
The selection of corps commanders is over, and there is also the selection of whistle commanders. This time, 1,200 new soldiers were recruited, a total of 120 troops, and there should be 30 sentry commanders.
The selection of sentry commanders is the same as the selection of corps commanders. First, they are promoted through disciplinary performance assessment, and the superior corps commanders are promoted to sentry commanders. A total of 18 corps commanders have recently been promoted to the top ranks in the discipline performance assessment, and all of them have been promoted to sentry commanders.
After promotion through disciplinary performance assessment, there are still twelve posts of sentinel commander left.
Zhu Ping'an announced that these twelve posts of sentry commanders, like the corps commanders, are also selected through competitions. All corps commanders, whether old or new corps commanders, are treated equally and can participate in the sentry commander competition.
All the corps commanders are eager to try.
With Zhu Ping'an's order, the whistle commander competition began, and the sound of cheering came one after another in Taohuaji School Ground.
After a fierce competition, twelve sentry commanders were announced, four of whom were old corps commanders, six new corps commanders who were new members of the U.S. Army, and two new veteran corps commanders.
The people of Yiwu deserve to be born into the military. When Zhu Pingan saw Chen Dacheng and other six newly promoted sentry commanders in Yiwu, he couldn't help but admire in his heart.
Twelve sentry commanders, Yiwu people account for half of the country, and the old corps commanders plus the veterans and new corps commanders only account for half. The old corps commanders only occupied four places. The old corps commanders won the competition a few months ago. They are the best among the veterans. After becoming corps commanders, the Zhejiang Army allocated resources to them and trained them for several months. They are not Yiwu. Human opponents; veterans and new captains only occupied two places
Zhu Pingan congratulated in public and announced their appointment as captain.
As twelve of their corps commanders were promoted to sentry commanders, twelve more corps commanders were left vacant. After some competition, twelve more lucky new corps commanders were born.
Next is the general selection.
The Zhejiang Army previously had six generals: Wang Xiong, Xia Laojiu, Liu Bo, Hu Laosan, Qian Bao, and Zhang Heizi. Now it has added 1,200 new recruits and seven more generals. In other words, there are still seven total vacancies.
Similar to the selection of corps commanders and sentinel commanders, the general selection is also based on disciplinary performance assessment, and the six superior sentinel commanders are promoted to the commander-in-chief. There is only one total quota left, and this quota is determined through competition.
All whistle commanders can participate in the selection.
Competition is extremely fierce.
In the end, Chen Dacheng of Yiwu became more and more courageous as he fought, passed through all the obstacles, became the one with the last laugh, and became the new commander-in-chief.
This is a real-life commander-in-chief, from soldier to corps commander, to sentry commander, and then to commander-in-chief.
Especially in the competition for the general position, he suffered a lot. As soon as he finished the selection of the whistle commander, he started to select the general commander, and there was no time to rest in between. Compared with the old whistle commander who recharged his energy, His physical strength and condition are not superior.
However, Chen Dacheng was worthy of being the man who could rule the roost in Yiwu. He stood at the end with an exhausted body.
At this point, the selection of low-level and middle-level officers of the Zhejiang Army has been completed. After Zhu Pingan announced the appointment of Chen Dacheng as the general officer, he solemnly introduced the craftsmen and apprentices such as Ou Zhige and Zhang Hong to all the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army. Announced the establishment of an additional equipment battalion based on the original establishment.
After announcing the establishment of the equipment camp, Zhu Ping'an continued to announce in public: "The main responsibilities of the equipment camp are to make cotton armor protective gear, make cold weapons, and develop firearms: two craftsmen, Ou Zhige and Zhang Hong, and their apprentices are responsible for the development of firearms. , the remaining craftsmen and apprentices are responsible for the development of cotton armor protective gear and cold weapons. The current master The main task is to make cotton armor. The personnel of the equipment camp are temporarily composed of 18 people including five craftsmen including Ou Zhige and their apprentices. Five craftsmen including Ou Zhige and Zhang Hong enjoy the treatment of battalion commanders, and the remaining apprentices enjoy the status of sentry commanders. Treatment.”
“Huh? The master craftsman actually enjoys the treatment of the battalion commander, and the apprentices also enjoy the treatment of the sentry. Long salary? Isn’t this too high?”
“They just make fire and forge, and they enjoy such high treatment as soon as they come here?”
“Aren’t they assisting us? , it’s not up to us to go into battle to kill the enemy. They are burning fire and forging iron in the back, and we are in the front. Killing the enemy in the sea of fire in Xian Dao Mountain, how come they are treated higher than us?"
A group of soldiers have no objection to the establishment of an equipment camp, but they have objections to the high treatment of the craftsmen and apprentices in the equipment camp. They feel that the craftsmen are There are also apprentices who are just blacksmiths, so how come they are treated better than they are?
"You officers and men should not be unbalanced and feel that I am giving preferential treatment to the craftsmen of the equipment battalion. The ancients said: If the equipment is not good, it will be used to kill the enemy; the equipment is strong and indestructible, and you will not be destroyed in a hundred battles. Although the equipment battalion does not go into battle to kill the enemy, their role is no less impressive . The armor and protective equipment produced by the equipment battalion will be our second life on the battlefield, and the weapons, especially the firearms, they produce will be our best weapon to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield."
Zhu Pingan explained to everyone.
After listening to Zhu Pingan's explanation, the injustice in the hearts of the Zhejiang Army soldiers gradually dissipated, and they began to understand Zhu Pingan's good intentions. Armor and weapons and blades are indeed very important on the battlefield. If there is Wearing strong armor can save one life, and sharp weapons can greatly improve their combat effectiveness. After thinking about it, they figured it out.
Then Zhu Ping'an emphasized to the craftsmen and apprentices, "Of course, your equipment camp is well-paid and has heavy responsibilities. In addition to conducting discipline and effectiveness assessments, the equipment camp must ensure the quality of the weapons and equipment developed. We in Zhejiang The army followed the example of the previous dynasty in enforcing the names of workers, which means that craftsmen have to engrave their names on weapons and equipment. This is Glory is also a responsibility. The weapons and equipment you have made with your own hands will accompany our Zhejiang Army soldiers to fight the enemy bravely and make achievements. Of course, if there are quality problems in the weapons and equipment, the qualifications of the craftsmen will be investigated, and they will be severely punished according to the severity of the situation. "
"I will not disappoint you." Ou Zhige, Zhang Hong and other craftsmen and apprentices responded loudly.
When they heard that the craftsmen not only carried out disciplinary performance assessments, but also engraved their names on the weapons and equipment and assumed joint and several responsibilities to ensure the quality of the weapons and equipment, the slightest trace of injustice in the hearts of the soldiers completely disappeared.
In view of the fact that there are only 18 people in the equipment camp, Zhu Pingan also ordered the logistics battalion to fully cooperate with the equipment camp. When asking for people and giving things, we must ensure the needs of the equipment camp and speed up the production of cotton armor and other equipment as soon as possible. Equip an army.
Now that the Japanese invasion situation is serious, the Zhejiang army may rush to the battlefield at any time. Armor and other equipment are too important. The survival rate of a fully armored soldier on the battlefield is several times higher than that of a soldier without armor!
