It takes a long time to break the old habits, but Xie Tian believes that he can still get closer to his ideal step by step. He does not expect to realize everything, but at least he must try his best to make reality closer to his ideal.
Today's China is the most united era ever seen in its 5,000-year history. There has been no public security case in the city for a month, let alone a criminal case, and the people's sense of responsibility has suddenly increased. For many, labor is voluntary, and it is no longer the usual mentality of most Chinese people who just muddle along. Most people are working hard to contribute to the construction of the country.
More than two million foreign laborers poured in, which allowed Xie Tian to flex his muscles. He immediately found the person in charge of the United Front Work Department and said: "Before the end of this winter, we must collect at least five dollars from our own citizens. Is there any problem with one hundred thousand new recruits joining the army and systematic recruit training?"
The head of the United Front Work Department was named Hu Wei. Before the zombie outbreak, he was responsible for recruiting new recruits for the national army. Now he heard that Xie Tian was going to recruit half a million soldiers at one go. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak for a long time. After a long time, he calmed down. God came and asked in surprise: "Sir Xie, will you recruit at least 500,000 new soldiers at once?"
"Yes." Xie Tian nodded and said calmly: "We have shipped back a lot of weapons and equipment from the United States, and the arsenal is also stepping up the production of ammunition, and my helicopter formation is searching across the country. The remaining ammunition depot is currently not counted as ammunition. The individual weapons we have can equip 1.8 million people. Therefore, plus more than 200 people who have arrived before and after Ten thousand labor force can reduce a considerable part of our national labor force, and the stored grain is enough, and the obvious new grain production definitely exceeds the total consumption. If we have guns and grain, why can't we expand the army?"
After saying that, Xie Tian added: "After the army expands, our defense capabilities will be at least doubled. You have to know that our current military strength is less than 300,000. Moreover, with more armed forces, we can To be able to better govern such a country, 500,000 is just a preliminary plan. My idea is that the total strength of the navy, army and air force must reach at least 1.5 million. This goal must be achieved within two years. "
"! One and a half million Hu Wei swallowed his saliva in surprise.
Xie Tian smiled and said: "The zombie virus has caused great changes in the composition of the survivor population. For every five people, there is only one woman, one old man or child, and the other three are all young men. We are now carrying out Industry and agriculture, but our current labor force is still surplus. First of all, we don¡¯t need so many people to farm. One million farmers are enough to feed our advanced population of 10 million, but we have more than 400 Thousands of people are farming, and the only reason is that there are no other jobs for these survivors. Since we don¡¯t have to worry about food and clothing now, why not seize the time to develop our army?¡±
"I understand." Hu Wei nodded lightly and said, "Then let's do it. Sir Xie, you give me 20,000 veterans and a large enough site, and I will start building the new barracks immediately. After all, we can't all Recruiting infantry, armor, maintenance, artillery, navy, pilots, and mechanics are also needed, and we need to establish a complete training base for new recruits."
"This is okay." Xie Tian said without hesitation: "This must be done, especially as technical talents are the most scarce. I will talk to Hillary later and ask her to arrange some experienced instructors and experts for me. , combined with the experience of both China and the United States, the training of new recruits must be the best!"
The recruitment advertisement was broadcast on Dragon TV's news program that night. The recruitment requirements are for all healthy males between the ages of 18 and 30. There are two methods of recruitment. The first is to sign up to join the army, and then the army will recruit people based on their qualifications. The second type is to divide the military branches according to their own conditions. The second type is to join the army based on personal specialties. Then, after the military assessment, the army will directly divide them into branches that are closer to the specialties of the participants.
For example, male soldiers who are about 170 centimeters tall and have driving experience can be given priority to become transport soldiers or armored soldiers. Those with better physical fitness may have the opportunity to become submarine soldiers and pilots. If they have some experience in mechanical maintenance , then it can be directly absorbed into a mechanical soldier, etc.
Because China is now not only the most powerful country in the world, but also the only country in the world that has the ability to save the world. Therefore, the Chinese people have an unprecedented sense of superiority and pride, and the people are extremely united. The recruitment advertisement has been released, and within three days, Within a short period of time, the number of applicants reached three million, and the scene was extremely popular.
How to select the 500,000 most suitable soldiers from these 3 million people is a huge workload but a very necessary task for Xie Tian. Although China's current overall strength can undoubtedly become the world's number one , but Xie Tian felt clear in his heartHere, China's military has had no war experience for a long time, not to mention that the problems within the military department are also very serious. Although science and technology are developing, combat effectiveness is declining. This is an indisputable fact. However, looking at the Americans, they have no regard for the military. Training and requirements were never ignored for a moment.
Whether it is hardware or software, the experience and technology of the United States are much stronger than that of China, especially the latter. This former superpower has accumulated rich experience in various wars it has experienced. Therefore, if there are Americans in this kind of thing, It will be much easier if you help me.
Thinking of this, Xie Tian immediately ordered his men, "Go and prepare the car, and inform Hillary that I will arrive at her office in twenty minutes."
"Okay." The orderly immediately went down to prepare the vehicle. Xie Tian went alone to the office building of the Xuhui District Committee where Hillary was located. Although Hillary is still the president of the United States in name, she has no real status in China. She is now He is regarded as the nominal leader of more than 900,000 Americans in China, but each of these Americans, including Hillary, must obey the arrangements of the Chinese government. Otherwise, the Chinese government¡ª¡ª The government has the right to deport them immediately.
In Xie Tian¡¯s eyes, Hillary is the district party secretary of Xuhui District, so it is not inappropriate for him to meet her in his own capacity, although the two may be far apart in level.
When the vehicle arrived at the door of the district committee building in Xuhui District, Xie Tian saw that Hillary had personally gone downstairs and was waiting to greet him downstairs. Along with her, there were several American officials, including the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Finance, and Congressman, Xie Tian's car stopped in front of these people, and a U.S. Army lieutenant general immediately stepped forward and opened the door for Xie Tian.
"Welcome, Mr. Xie." Hillary smiled at Xie Tian who got out of the car and said politely.
Xie Tian returned the favor with a smile, shook hands with Hillary, and said: "Hello, President Hillary, I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you."
"It just so happens that I also have something I want to discuss with you." Hillary said, "How about we go in and talk."
Xie Tian nodded and walked in together with Hillary. Hillary¡¯s arrangement was to treat Xie Tian as a visiting foreign dignitary, so as soon as he entered the conference room, he was greeted by several officials from the American government. All the senior officials accompanied him to his seat, but Xie Tian was the commander-in-chief and even the orderlies stayed outside the door.
"President Hillary." Xie Tian said straight to the point as soon as he sat down: "You must also know that we are preparing to expand the army now. It is easy to recruit new soldiers, but if we want to train them well and make them have strong enough combat effectiveness, It can't be done in a day or two. Before the outbreak of the zombie virus, the United States' military strength was number one in the world, and the quality of its soldiers was also among the best in the world. So I very much hope that you can provide me with some help, such as providing me with some experienced officers and Instructors, help us select the next batch of recruits who are about to join the army and conduct systematic training."
Hillary was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Xie, I came to you to discuss this matter with you. We used to have nearly 40,000 soldiers in the United States. When they came to China, they had been disarmed and turned into Instead of ordinary labor force, these soldiers are elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. I hope that your government can reorganize these soldiers. If so, a very strong fighting force can be gathered, which will also be of great benefit to your country. It helps a lot.¡±
Xie Tian smiled slightly and said: "If we want to re-arm these people, it is not impossible, but for the sake of security and stability, your country's soldiers must unconditionally obey our arrangements. Of course, we will also ensure that you treat your country well." Soldiers of our country are treated the same as our soldiers, and your country¡¯s soldiers enjoy the same treatment as our country¡¯s soldiers.¡±
Hillary looked at Xie Tian and asked calmly: "Mr. Xie, your country's intention is to break up all our troops and then integrate them into the Chinese army, right?"
"Yes." Xie Tian no longer concealed it, nodded and said: "Only in this way can we ensure the stability of Shanghai, but you can decide on your own whether to agree or not."
"Okay." Hillary said as if I had guessed it a long time ago: "In that case, I will hand them over to your country's military for unified management, but I have a request, for the sake of the security and response of Xuhui District For various emergencies, I need a force of five hundred armed soldiers, five hundred people, Mr. Xie shouldn¡¯t have to worry, right?¡±
Xie Tian nodded and smiled indifferently: "Five hundred people are no problem. Your Excellency, the President, can order his subordinates to be responsible for statistics. Give me the list of five hundred people. We will provide certain individual weapons to protect your country." Security of the station.¡±
"That's good." Hillary never expected that Xie Tian would really have enough combat power, and the 500 armed quotas were only used to increase the number of soldiers.In Xuhui District, the most important thing about the management strength of the US government is that there must be enough threats to prevent people from committing illegal and criminal acts. To put it bluntly, it is the police. Check.
"As for training new recruits," Xie Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "We are about to build a very large recruit training base in Suzhou. This has already begun operations. A large amount of required materials have been transported to Suzhou, and there are also Once enough Zhanpeng is prepared, formal training can begin in a week at most." (To be continued)
