Rise From the Humble

"Congratulations to all the newly promoted corps commanders. Whether you are promoted through disciplinary performance assessment or stand out through competition, you are all corps commanders who have been promoted based on your own ability. You are all the elites of our Zhejiang Army. Congratulations."

Zhu Ping'an gathered all the corps commanders who came out of the discipline examination and the competition on a high platform, announced the appointment of their corps commanders in front of the entire battalion, and congratulated 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 came forward excitedly to accept the appointment, especially the newly recruited Yiwu recruits. The corps commanders were even more excited than words could express. They all knelt down and expressed their opinions, vowing to serve Zhu Ping'an to the death.

"Come on, all corps commanders. You got this by your own merits. You don't 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 good soldiers and fight good wars. 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 those officers who have been unsuccessful. Train hard, strictly observe military discipline, and fight the enemy bravely. There will be many opportunities for promotion and promotion in the future."

"Practice well and kill the enemy bravely." Encouraged by Zhu Pingan, the defeated soldiers became full of fighting spirit again.

The selection of the corps commander is over, and there is also the selection of the whistle commander. 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 sentinels left.

Zhu Ping'an announced that these twelve posts of sentry commanders, like the corps commanders, are also selected through competition. 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 gearing up and eager to give it a try.

Following Zhu Ping'an's order, the whistle commander competition began, and the sound of cheering came one after another in Taohuaji Campus.

After a fierce competition, twelve sentry commanders were announced, four of whom were old corps commanders, six were new corps commanders who were new veterans, and two were new veteran corps commanders.

The people of Yiwu deserve to be born into the military. When Zhu Ping'an saw Chen Dacheng and other six newly promoted sentry commanders in Yiwu, he couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The Yiwu people accounted for half of the twelve sentry commanders, and the old corps commanders plus the veterans and new corps commanders together only accounted 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 corps commanders only occupied two spots

Zhu Pingan congratulated everyone and announced the appointment of their guard commander.

Since 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, which means there are still seven A total of vacancies.

Like the selection of corps commanders and sentinel commanders, the general selection is also based on disciplinary performance assessment, and the six top-ranking sentry commanders are promoted to the commander-in-chief. There is only one total quota left, and this quota is determined through competition.

All captains can participate in the selection.

Competition is fierce.

In the end, Yiwu Chen Dacheng became more and more courageous as he fought, and he became the last man to laugh, and became the new commander-in-chief.

This is a real-life commander-in-chief, from soldier to corps commander, to sentinel commander, and then to commander-in-chief.

Especially in the competition for the captain, he was at a disadvantage. He had just finished the selection of the captain and started the selection of the captain. There was no time to rest in between. Compared with the old captain who was recharging his energy, his physical strength and condition were not as good. Dominant.

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 was completed. After Zhu Pingan announced the appointment of Chen Dacheng as general officer, he solemnly introduced the craftsmen and apprentices such as Ou Zhige and Zhang Hong to the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army, and announced that on the basis of the original establishment, An equipment battalion was added.

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 main task is to make cotton armor. The equipment camp is temporarily staffed by five craftsmen including Ou Zhige and 18 people including their apprentices. Ou Zhige, Zhang Hong and other five craftsmen enjoy the treatment of battalion commanders, and the remaining apprentices enjoy the treatment of sentry commanders."

"Ah? The master craftsman actually enjoys the treatment of the battalion commander, and the apprentices enjoy the treatment of the sentry commander? Isn't this too high?"

"They just light fires and forge iron, and they enjoy such high treatment as soon as they come here?"

"Aren't they assisting us? We don't have to rely on us to kill the enemy in battle. They are burning fire and forging iron in the back, and we are killing the enemy in the front line in the sea of ​​​​knives and seas of fire. How come they are treated better than us?"

A group of soldiers had no objection to the establishment of the equipment camp, but they had objections to the high treatment of the craftsmen and apprentices in the equipment camp. They felt that the craftsmen and apprentices were just blacksmiths, so why were they treated so well?

"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. The armor and protective gear produced by the equipment battalion will be our second life when charging on the battlefield, and the weapons they produce, especially the firearms, will be the best weapon for us to fight 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 are indeed very useful on the battlefield. If there is a strong set of armor, it will not sound. Yu had an extra life, and sharp weapons could greatly improve their combat effectiveness. After thinking about it, they figured it out.

Zhu Pingan then 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 weapons and equipment developed by the equipment camp must ensure the quality. Our Zhejiang Army follows the example of the previous dynasty." The name of the craftsman means that the craftsman should engrave his name on the weapons and equipment. This is an honor and a responsibility. The weapons and equipment you made with your own hands will accompany our Zhejiang Army soldiers to fight the enemy bravely and make contributions. Of course, if the weapons and equipment have For quality problems, the qualifications of the craftsmen will be held accountable and severe punishment will be given based on 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 had to engrave their names on the weapons and equipment and bear 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 the equipment battalion only had eighteen people, Zhu Pingan also ordered the logistics battalion to fully cooperate with the equipment battalion. When asking for people and giving things, we must ensure the needs of the equipment battalion, speed up the production of cotton armor and other equipment, and equip the army as soon as possible.

Now that the Japanese invasion situation is serious, the Zhejiang army may rush to the battlefield at any time, and 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!
