Chapter 1074: Intensive Training
The Weihaiwei Navy is undoubtedly the heart of the entire Ming Dynasty, and the admirals who can graduate from the academy will be arranged in the naval camp in Weihaiwei for the final two-year actual combat test.
Mao Wenlong doesn't just want those guys who only know how to talk on paper, and only those who have theory and practical action must be a qualified talent.
The big trouble in his heart has been cut off, Mao Wenlong is relaxed at the moment, put down Hong Chengchou's letter, and Mao Wenlong should lead Haoda to the naval camp.
The Weihaiwei naval camp was built on the seafront, and after continuous expansion, the current naval camp has bordered the neighboring Lingshanwei.
The scale is also unprecedented, with 100,000 permanent garrisons and 100,000 new troops training here. Whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, Mao Wenlong will all have to train this time. The new warship, the steam engine warship, is about to be launched, and the operators who need to cooperate with it will be required at that time, these are all from scratch, and Mao Wenlong must personally handle it.
The three brothers of Lijia are the generals of the Weihaiwei Navy, and the three brothers are respectively responsible for the equipment, actual combat and training of the navy. The division of labor is not fine, which is also the requirement of Mao Wenlong's various departments.
Winter has arrived, the sea has frozen, and in previous years, winter here was a rare holiday for everyone. But this time all the sergeants were notified that they were going to conduct new training this winter. Moreover, the chief soldier personally came to supervise it, which was an extraordinary news, and some of the soldiers were happy and some were worried.
Winter is certainly not suitable for naval warfare, so training at this time means that there will be war at the beginning of spring. Those who like to fight are already eager to try, and as soldiers, all they want is to go to war. Only when they start a war can they have the opportunity to reap the merits of war, climb the pyramid, and become human beings.
And some guys who are afraid of war and prefer comfort do not want to go to war, they feel that the current life in the barracks is very good, and there is no need to exchange their lives for any credit.
Some people are happy and some are worried, but no matter what everyone thinks, military orders cannot be disobeyed, and orders from above must be obeyed unconditionally, no matter what they think.
Just after lunch, Lihui, Licheng, and Lixuan received the news that Mao Wenlong was coming. The three of them did not dare to slack off, and after lunch, they came to wait outside the camp gate.
Mao Wenlong came in a carriage, and Haoda led thirty secret guards to escort him, and a group of people came in a mighty way. The seaside is already windy, wide and winter, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the concrete pavement. As soon as the horse's hooves stepped on it, the ice slag flew everywhere, which not only could hurt people, but also slowed down everyone's travel.
The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the camp, and the three Lihui brothers hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. The three of them stood at the gate for a while, and their faces were red from the cold.
Mao Wenlong quickly got off the carriage with the support of the mighty, and no matter how cold it was in the carriage, people could never blow the cold and biting sea breeze. But at this time, Mao Wenlong just got out of the carriage, and immediately felt the cold and biting cold wind.
Tightening the coat on his body, Mao Wenlong looked at the three Lihui brothers: "Have the 20,000 elite soldiers been assembled?" ”
Lihui was biting by the cold wind and knew that the snot was about to flow out, there was no way, as a general, he had to wear battle armor in the barracks. I don't know if that guy has a grudge against these generals, and the armor he created only considers sturdiness, but does not consider the issue of warmth at all. Well, now, these generals will definitely be choked by the cold in this big winter.
Although he was about to be frozen into a popsicle, a soldier is a soldier, and Lihui can still withstand this little test. He took a deep breath, and then said to Mao Wenlong: "Back to the general army, 20,000 elite soldiers have been assembled, please review the general army." ”
"Lead the way." Mao Wenlong was in a hurry, waved his hand and walked forward.
"Yes, Commander!" Lihui responded, and then led the way for Mao Wenlong in front.
The barracks were surrounded by high walls, and the cold wind outside could not blow in. When everyone walked into the barracks, they immediately felt a lot warmer, and when they entered the gate, it was a school field, and they didn't see the soldiers training, and it was very empty and deserted.
After passing through this small school field, we arrived at the destination of this time, the military camp's martial arts training ground.
The dense soldiers had already stood up in a neat line, and the three Lihui brothers led Mao Wenlong here and stood aside by themselves. Mao Wenlong stood on the high platform in front of 20,000 soldiers, his eyes swept over none of them one by one, and finally spoke: "You should be very glad that you can stand here today." ”
The soldiers below were all inexplicable, but no one dared to speak out, and they all waited quietly for Mao Wenlong to continue.
Mao Wenlong was very satisfied when he saw this, he nodded and continued: "The people who can stand here today prove that you are the elite of the army, and you are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. But in the future, you still need to undergo more rigorous training, and the future of the Dongjiang Army Naval Division is in your hands, can you have the confidence to accept this rigorous training? ”
Mao Wenlong's voice still echoed in the school grounds, and the gathering place of 20,000 soldiers was not small, but Mao Wenlong's voice was clearly heard by everyone present.
The soldiers began to have fighting spirit in their eyes, and Mao Wenlong was very satisfied, but these wooden people did not respond to Mao Wenlong's question just now. This made Mao Wenlong suddenly a little embarrassed, and his confused gaze turned to Lihui.
The latter suddenly felt bad, and secretly scolded these soldiers for being stupid, but he didn't dare to slack off, and he shouted at the soldiers: "The general soldier asked you something, and you didn't respond, right?" ”
"We have faith and will not back down!" After Lihui's roar, all the soldiers shouted in unison in response to Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong didn't bother with such a small accident, he waved his hand to disperse everyone, and only left the three Lihui brothers.
"Lihui, can you tell me if you can conduct a drill at sea in winter?" Mao Wenlong asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the commander-in-chief, now that the sea is frozen, ordinary warships can't sail. I wonder whether the so-called training of the commander-in-chief should be carried out at sea or on land? Lihui reported truthfully.
"What about the new warships? Even the warships that we have tried before, which can break the ice at sea, can finally sail at sea, including training. "Mao Wenlong is not very familiar with the situation at sea, and these need to be asked.
Li Hui groaned for a while before he responded: "Chief soldier, training in the cold winter is not suitable for our navy. And if it's a special training, you can. ”
