I wish all my readers a happy New Year and all the best. Good health meant great profits.
North America had a vast territory. Even if the number of the North American Liberation Army was less than a million, it was not easy to launch ideological education. As soon as Political Commissar Qi Rui made the arrangements, it was New Year's Day, 1911.
The first to arrive in North America on New Year's Day was the Hungarian army. The Central Military Commission of the restored Central Committee believed that the situation in the Balkans was getting worse and that war was on the verge of breaking out. Now that things had come to this, there was no way to be too particular about it. They could only get the officers of the Hungarian Red Army over for training. As the political commissar of the war zone, Qi Rui came out to give a speech at the welcoming meeting.
"On behalf of the Liberation Army's North American Theater of Operations, I welcome Hungarian comrades to participate in the training. Over the next year, you will receive training. The training this time is tight and the task is heavy. I hope all comrades are mentally prepared. First of all, we will give you three months of basic training. Our factory will work overtime to produce the equipment during the training. We will send you and the equipment to Hungary within half a year. Another six months of training in Hungary. A year seemed like a long time, but in reality, it passed in the blink of an eye. Our Liberation Army likes to say that there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome, only people that cannot be overcome. I hope our comrades can be realistic and not frighten themselves or slack off. Let's work together and get the job done. "
The 3,000 Hungarian Red Army soldiers who came to North America had completed eight years of compulsory education, which meant that they had taken Chinese lessons in three years of junior high school. Other than the word 'laziness' which was rarely used in Hungary, the Hungarian Red Army soldiers could understand Qi Rui's simple, straightforward and down-to-earth speech.
Without waiting for these people's emotions to ferment, the next step began. The Hungarian soldiers and the Liberation Army were mixed into one army for military training.
As the political commissar of the theater of operations, Qi Rui didn't need to make the training plan himself. Naturally, the General Staff Department was in charge of it. Qi Rui, on the other hand, had to face a large number of young people. Every young person had a recommendation, and these recommendations were all from impressive backgrounds. It was just like when the motorized troops were established back then. Regardless of whether the higher-ups knew what a motorized infantry was, they would do their best to stuff their own children or talented youths into the motorized troops first.
Qi Rui was prepared to take the same exam as his father. However, there were two people he couldn't refuse. One was Lei Hu's grandson, Lei Yun. The grandson of an old senior had to give him some face. Moreover, Ryun was a staff officer in the North American Theater of Operations Command and had always had a good reputation. The other was Li Shaokang's eldest son, Li Yongping.
Li Shaokang was Qi Rui's old comrade from more than 20 years ago. They had traveled from the South China Sea to North America together. During the North American War, Li Shaokang joined the Air Force and performed well in the reconnaissance unit. However, the casualty rate of the Air Force was much higher than that of the Army. After a plane crash, Li Shaokang was unfortunately killed. Among Qi Rui's group, he was the first to become a general because he was promoted after his death.
Qi Rui originally thought that he would not be trapped by favors. In reality, Qi Rui was indeed fair and impartial. However, in the face of Li Shaokang's son, Li Yongping, Qi Rui finally realized that he still had some personal feelings. Li Yongping's mother came all the way from Nanjing to Tokyo, hoping that Qi Rui could persuade the child not to join the army. However, Li Yongping obviously had no intention of listening to his mother's advice. Although Qi Rui was extremely unwilling, in the end, he still promised to take care of Li Yongping. Li Yongping's performance was very good. In the end, Qi Rui couldn't help but put Li Yongping into the armored team.
After dealing with the more personal part of the official business, Qi Rui was still not relieved. The secretary brought a list of things that were difficult to distinguish between public and private. "Political Commissar, the supervision department sent a list."
It was very easy to check military vehicles. They set up checkpoints in the city and on the highway and asked the local police to cooperate. When they saw military vehicles, they would stop them. If the driver was not wearing a military uniform or did not have all the documents, they would be detained first. With the help of the phone, it was easy to find out if the person was a military personnel. If it was a military personnel, they would let it go. If not, they would be detained.
After reading the list, Qi Rui pointed to the seven or eight people at the front with a tired face. "These people are in charge of issuing the license plates of military vehicles, right?"
The secretary glanced at it and replied cautiously, "The issuance of license plates is indeed within their scope of authority."
Such a strict answer made Qi Rui couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, there was no kindness in his laughter. After laughing for a few seconds, Qi Rui stopped smiling and then yawned slightly. In the past few days, he had been busy with the matters of the Liberation Army's armored soldiers. Now that he had calmed down, he actually felt a little sleepy.
The secretary was not as relaxed as Qi Rui. This time, the people on the list who dared to make trouble were basically people in the government. They all had elders who held high positions in the military or political circles. However, according to the military law, these people's behavior of privately issuing military license plates in exchange for money was considered as corruption and malfeasance. If it was taken seriously, it was enough to be sentenced to life imprisonment or even death. As Qi Rui's secretary, the secretary was very worried about whether Qi Rui could bear such a huge pressure.
"Inform them to prepare for a meeting." After saying that, Qi Rui yawned comfortably again.
"Who will participate?" The secretary asked.
"The political commissars of each military subdivision, the military law department, and the elders of these people." Qi Rui pointed to the people at the top of the list and said.
Seeing that Political Commissar Qi Rui was ready to take action, the secretary stopped talking nonsense. When he walked out of the office door, the secretary held his head high and chest out. In his opinion, it was a good thing to eradicate the vermin in the army. Moreover, comrades in their twenties and thirties like the secretary had similar views as long as they relied on their own ability to make a living and acted decently, regardless of their background. In the North American theater of operations, even in the army, everyone knew about Qi Rui's background. When the creator of the motorized infantry decided to take responsibility, the secretary was very confident.
The Hungarian Red Army soldiers participating in the training in North America did not know that a small storm was about to set off in North America. They were soon assigned to the same army. To their surprise, the first thing to learn was not armored combat, nor was it to strengthen the motorized combat they had already learned. The first thing to learn in the training unit was to use light weapons.
The Type 09 gun family included the Type 09 semi-automatic rifle, Type 09 submachine gun, and Type 09 light machine gun. All three weapons used 7.62 mm ammunition. This kind of bullet could still penetrate A3 steel plate by 8 mm when the warhead flew to 400 meters, and the warhead was still lethal within 2,000 meters. But these were things that snipers and marksmen needed to care about. Soldiers without talent in this area only needed to care about the combat distance being shortened to within 400 meters.
The North American war proved one thing. As long as the U.S. Army was driven into the field encirclement by the Min dynasty, the Min dynasty would casually set up iron wires on the ground and dig individual field fortifications. The death rate of the Americans attacking the position within this distance was extremely high. Of course, if the Americans could not escape as quickly as possible, they would be trapped and die in the encirclement.
The area within 400 meters of the enemy's iron wires and trenches was the Gates of Hell. Now, the Liberation Army was teaching the Hungarian Red Army how to launch an attack in front of the Gates of Hell.
Light weapons training lasted for a week. Originally, the Min dynasty had five days off and one day off. Based on this rest pattern, a week was six days. In the past year or so, the Min dynasty had five days off, so a week had become seven days. After some adjustments, it was exactly the same as the traditional European way of choosing the week.
The Hungarian Red Army, who had come to the Min dynasty for training before, was not used to six days a week. Now, they felt very used to it. During their own meetings, they found that some troops had changed instructors. The Hungarian Red Army did not care about such trivial matters. What they cared about was the firepower of the new equipment compared to the previous rifles. In terms of rifles alone, the new semi-automatic rifles were limited except for the large increase in the amount of ammunition they could carry for the same weight.
The submachine gun with a folding stock made the Hungarian Red Army feel that they had found the weapon of their dreams. The submachine gun weighed only seven kilograms. The relatively short Hungarians carried it lightly, and the light machine gun was also very fierce. The next thing they had to learn was how to rush to a very close distance with the enemy and risk their lives.
The Hungarian Red Army felt that changing a few instructors was not a big deal, but the Liberation Army would not think so. It was not easy to sneak into the armored army experimental unit. According to the experience of the motorized infantry, as long as there were no mistakes, they would probably be promoted one level after completing all the training. And in the future, they would definitely occupy a very high ranking in the promotion. Being replaced meant that they would lose such an opportunity, which was a big deal for soldiers.
Many people in the Liberation Army were puzzled by such a change, and the relevant news had also spread to the army. It was said that some people had granted military license plates to people outside the army to make a profit. Of course, military license plates would not appear out of thin air, and there had to be a reason for the application. These instructors were involved in these matters. Under such circumstances, they were, of course, replaced.
"This … what is this?" The young officer could not help but sigh. The meeting was held in a small area, and it was obvious that the young comrade who spoke had a more sympathetic attitude toward these people.
"If it is found out that they did it on purpose, their future will probably be ruined, right?" Some comrades who were sympathetic said with a tone of sympathy.
Then, a comrade whose position was not so well understood asked, "To what extent is the theater prepared to go this time? Are they going to arrest everyone involved in this matter, or is there a difference? "
These words hit the nail on the head. At least half of the comrades had ambiguous expressions. Eradicating unhealthy tendencies in the army was not annoying, but everyone naturally had their own standards in their hearts as to how they were going to eradicate it.
There was a lot of discussion at the grass-roots level, but there was a clear opposition at the meeting of the higher-ups. As the representative of the majority, Qi Rui earnestly advised the three comrades who were eager to protect their children, "Just now you said not to ruin their future, but my opinion is not quite the same as yours. Personal future is indeed very important, but I think that's a personal problem. Organizational discipline is related to the whole army. Between the two, I think organizational discipline is more important. What do you think? "
"Is it okay to drive them out of the army?" These three were the ones whose sons had committed the crime, and they were facing an unshakable existence like Qi Rui, so the despair in their pleas was somewhat touching.
Qi Rui sighed softly and calmed his emotions before continuing, "I don't ask you to personally punish them. People say that even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs, and it is not in line with human nature to force you to do it. But I want to ask you, do you think that organizational discipline should yield in the face of power? "
After that, Qi Rui turned his head to look at the people who attended the meeting. Most of them were the ones who had stood out in the North American War. It could be said that they had followed Qi Rui to become the new generation of backbone members of the Liberation Army. Qi Rui's eyes swept over these people's faces, and then he said, "Comrades, I know that many of our backbone members came from good backgrounds. Some of them, even if they were not born in the families of the founding heroes, got the opportunity to go to school because of the change in the social system. After joining the army, they were favored by their predecessors, so they got the opportunity. So I have two questions. The first question is, whose ancestors were born in a good family in the Min dynasty, and their status today is because of the blessings of their ancestors. The second question is, if there were no Liberation Army and the system of the Min dynasty, do you think we would have the chance to sit here today? "
