Chapter 1905 Army Base
Since Haihan began to receive Annan military cadets in 1628, training high-level military talents for foreign countries has become a fixed part of Haihan's foreign military assistance. In addition to sending military advisory groups to assist host countries in training their troops, hundreds of foreign officers have crossed the sea and come to Sanya over the years. They have received advanced military training provided by the Haihan military here and have quickly become members of the establishment of their respective countries after returning home. The backbone of the new army.
Although the cost of sending people to Sanya for further training is quite high, and only Haihan's military allies can enjoy such an opportunity, countries are still flocking to it, hoping to accelerate the improvement of their military strength through this method.
The reason why various countries spare no expense in sending military personnel to study in Sanya is because the effectiveness of this kind of military training is indeed very significant, allowing new armies equipped with Haihan weapons to quickly form combat effectiveness, and in terms of troop combat organization and command system, it can be compared with Haihan The military completed the docking and realized coordinated actions during the combat process.
The two armed forces of Annan and Fujian have benefited the most from this model, and have also become the best examples for the external promotion of the Haihan military model. North Korea is willing to send officers to study in Sanya. To a large extent, it was only after witnessing the performance of these two armed forces in this year's Anti-Qing War that they decided to follow this path of upgrade and form an army based on the existing successful model. A new combat force. Although it is impossible to achieve the goal of punching Huang Taiji and kicking Emperor Chongzhen in a short period of time, at least the next time he joins forces with the Haihan Army to fight, he no longer has to play the role of a back-up on the battlefield.
Of course, this is only the lowest limit of North Korea's goals. Whether it is King Li Jie or An Daoshi and other overseas military officers, they all have higher expectations for the prospects of studying abroad this time. Since both the Annamites and the Han people can train troops with strong combat effectiveness according to Haihan's instructions, North Korea should be able to do the same to the same extent, so that it can realize its wish to one day kill the Yalu River for revenge.
For Andoseok personally, this is not only an opportunity to change North Korea's national destiny, but also an opportunity for him to change his own destiny. He had already tried to get information about military training on the way, and knew that his final destination was the army base on the Luhuitou Peninsula. However, after arriving in Sanya, he still seemed to have an endless tour of visits, and Andao Shi just wanted to quickly enter the military camp and start his own course. Being able to enter this base with General Haihan Yan Chujie today was a blessing for him.
The entrance to the army base is located between two hills at the northern end of the Luhuitou Peninsula. A small pass was built to conform to the terrain, and the main access to and from the Luhuitou Peninsula must pass through this pass. The convoy led by Yan Chujie naturally passed the customs very quickly, and passed the pass smoothly without undergoing any inspection. Seeing the guards at the pass silently raising their hands to salute Yan Chujie's special car that had passed through the gate, Andao Shi couldn't help but sigh at his authority.
After passing this checkpoint, you have actually entered the scope of the army base. In terms of the size of the Haihan Army today, the area of Luhuitou Military Base is actually a bit small. The camp area is less than three square kilometers, and it is even much smaller than the Datong River Base that was just launched this year. Fortunately, the naval base is separated from the army base, otherwise the two military bases would be crowded together and the space would be even smaller.
In addition to the army base on the Luhuitou Peninsula, another institution that must be mentioned is the immigration camp. Immigrants who first arrive in Sanya must first enter and quarantine for a few days to ensure that no acute infectious diseases will enter Sanya city. At the same time, this period will also be used to educate new immigrants on abiding by the law and let them understand the conditions here. social rules. However, as the local migrant population increases year by year, the regulations for immigrants entering the city are no longer as strict as before. The recipients of this immigration base have also changed from ordinary immigrants to the slave population transported here in batches - in the civil affairs department It seems that this group needs to be more closely managed due to its complex origins.
Originally, the immigrant camp was located at the northern end of Luhuitou Peninsula. However, after many incidents of immigrants fleeing the camp and mixing into the city, the camp was moved to the southern end near Luhuitoujiao, exactly one block away from Sanya city. Army base. As a result, it is basically impossible for these newly arrived immigrants to sneak into the city through the camp. Only those who have completed all the quarantine and registration procedures of the civil affairs department will be uniformly arranged to be sent to a construction site or plantation to start. their new life.
However, the camps arranged for foreign military trainees are all at the northern end of the peninsula, several miles away from the immigrant camps. It is unlikely that the North Korean officers will have the opportunity to interact with the slave immigrants after they are stationed in the base.
The scene in the camp was very much in line with Andao Shi's previous imagination. Next to the wide and straight avenue was extremely smooth and trimmed grass. Not far away is a row of brick and tile barracks, all uniform in shape and structure. The Haihan soldiers walking on the road were arranged in twos in a row and three in a row. This should be a habit developed through strict training.
On the carriage, Andao Shi could hear the sharp copper whistles and neat shouts coming from the distance. This reminded him of the days when he was training at the Datong River Base. At that time, the instructors were also in his ears all day long. The brass whistle was constantly blown, and they were required to keep shouting various slogans while marching to keep everyone's marching rhythm and speed consistent. After a day of training, he often feels his throat is hoarse, but the effect of this training method is indeed very significant. Even if he interrupted training for more than a month because of his trip south, he still clearly remembers how to control the speed of travel. .
After the convoy drove into the camp, it quickly stopped in front of a two-story building. Then an officer came over and told Andao Shi and others to get out of the car and wait.
After Andao Shi got off the car, he saw that Yan Chujie was already giving instructions to another officer. Not long after, the officer came over to greet them: "Everyone from North Korea, please follow me to go through the registration procedures. Everyone's personal luggage, please check it out in a moment." Then we will send someone to pick it up from the hotel.”
Andao Shi boldly asked: "Excuse me, sir, did we start training after we registered?"
"You are quite anxious!" The officer glanced at An Daoshi, smiled and said: "The chief has just arranged to complete the registration procedures and take you to see the graduation assessment site of the latest batch of foreign military cadets. Training. Well, we can start as soon as tomorrow, don’t scream if you can’t bear the hardship then!”
An Daoshi said: "We have all been trained by General Wang and General Qian in China, and we will definitely have no problem enduring hardship. Don't underestimate us, sir!"
"Okay! Then I will say hello to your instructor and give you a good lesson!" the officer responded meaningfully.
Andao Shi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it at the moment. On the contrary, several colleagues nearby wanted to rush up and block his mouth to prevent him from causing trouble again. An Daoshi thought that the so-called registration procedure was just a signature and a stamp, but the actual process was far more complicated than he thought. It simply meant making a file for each of them on the spot. In addition to clearly registering personal information, there were also We need to make a tag for each of them to identify their identity, but because the processing time is relatively long, we have to wait an extra day to get it.
This group of North Korean officer cadets who came to Sanya totaled 18 people. Four of them were from the Navy, so they followed Li Bo to visit the shipyard. Among the remaining 14 people, there were Andao Shi. The eight people had reached some kind of tacit understanding with the senior military officials of Haihan in advance. Therefore, Haihan is very concerned about this group of students sent by North Korea. In addition, with Yan Chujie personally supervising the process, even the registration work has been done more meticulously.
Although several clerks were transferred to register the North Korean students, it still took almost an hour to complete the procedures for these dozen people. The officer who had been standing by had been waiting until the last person's formalities were completed, then he stood up and said: "Okay, now I invite you to watch the assessment site. Please follow me, inside the military camp Don’t move around at will. Violators will be punished by military law. Remember this!”
Under the leadership of Andao Shi and others, they crossed almost the entire camp, and their clothes inevitably attracted a lot of attention on the road. Although North Korea has already built an embassy in Sanya and stationed several soldiers, this is the first time that North Korean soldiers have appeared in Luhuitou Base, which is a rare sight.
"When you settle down, uniform training uniforms will be given to you. Then no one will stare at you." The officer said, pointing to the gray military uniform on his body: "This is what the training uniforms look like. You must wear them at all times while you are studying and training here.”
North Korean soldiers could not understand Haihan's helmetless and armor-less cotton military uniform at first. Isn't it the same as courting death to wear such a military uniform that lacks protection and go into battle? But later, after seeing how the Haihan Army fought with the Qing Army, I realized that such entrustment was indeed worthwhile. It was very difficult for the Qing Army to shorten the combat distance to the upper limit of its own attack distance. There was indeed no need for the Haihan Army to wear Heavy armor goes into battle.
Of course, with Haihan's shrewdness, the training uniforms issued to foreign military cadets cannot be given away for free. In fact, these are all included in the high cost of studying abroad. But fortunately, this part of the cost is borne by the government, so there is no need for An Daoshi and others to worry. Otherwise, the price of two sets of training uniforms is enough to make these North Korean officers, whose military pay is not high, painful for a long time. .
Not only was An Daoshi not opposed to this arrangement, he was actually a little excited. Although it was just a training uniform and not a uniform of the Haihan regular army, after wearing it, he must be able to feel the special power of being a member of a powerful army. However, when I watch the graduation examinations of other foreign military cadets, they can only temporarily appear in their own country's costumes.
The assessment venue is located on the coast on the east side of the Luhuitou Peninsula. Andao Shi seems familiar at first sight. It is clearly similar to the training ground at the Datongjiang Base, especially the training facilities in the venue. He had seen all kinds of obstacles at the Datong River base.
A stand with an awning was set up on one side of the venue, and An Daoshi saw Yan Chujie sitting on it from a distance. There were several other senior generals around him. It seemed that they were responsible for grading and assessing these students.
The foreign military cadets who were participating in the graduation examination had already gathered at the playground. It seemed that there were not many people there. Andao Shi roughly counted them and found that there were less than fifty people, and they formed a small square formation. , seems to be preparing to perform a procession first. In addition to the dozen or so North Korean soldiers serving as spectators on the sidelines, there were dozens of soldiers wearing gray training uniforms. However, Andosi could not tell whether these soldiers were Haihan people or foreign soldiers who came for training. .
Sure enough, not long after, the rapid sound of a copper whistle was heard, and then the phalanx began to march toward the stands in steps. This kind of marching posture, with the left hand holding the rifle and the right hand swinging with the pace, was seen by Andao Shi at the Datong River Base. He also saw it again in Victory Square before arriving in Sanya. It can be regarded as the standard military parade marching style of the Haihan Army. Since other foreign military students had to learn this, An Daoshi knew that he would definitely learn this subject next, and he immediately began to carefully observe the movements of these students.
"The dozens of students you see are actually from the three countries of Ming Dynasty, Annan, and Champa. However, their enrollment time is relatively close, so they are gathered together to receive the graduation assessment. Let me remind you that their current Assessment subjects are very likely to be a test that you must face when you graduate from school in the future. Therefore, I hope that you will not just watch the fun, but also think carefully about whether you can complete it and whether you can complete it. Better than them.”
The officer leading the team lost no time in explaining the graduation examination situation to the North Korean trainees. In fact, even if he did not mention it, most people had already thought of this section. And they really care about the level of military skills of soldiers from other countries after undergoing this kind of training.
While speaking, the phalanx had already arrived in front of the stand where Yan Chujie and other senior officials were. With a shout, the march of the phalanx also changed to a more powerful goose step. The students raised their right hands to perform the Haihan military salute. Yan Chujie and others in the stand People also raised their hands to return the favor.
The students were shouting slogans in unison at this time, but their Haihan Mandarin was obviously not standard, and the various accents were mixed together and it was not clear. When An Daoshi was at the Datongjiang base, he was praised by the instructor for his language talent. He learned Haihan Mandarin much faster than others, but he could only barely hear the words "kill the enemy and make meritorious service" and "defend the family." country" and two or three slogans.
