On the beach of Orchid Island, groups of soldiers are training in a queue on the mud that has just been leveled for a short time, and it has been several days since they landed on Orchid Island. Due to the large number of natives onlookers, the Senators did not want them to see the Senate soldiers, even the Foreign Legion soldiers after seasickness, and all the containers where the soldiers lived were lifted directly onto flatbed trucks and transported to shore. After landing, these containers are not allowed to be opened casually, but the passage for cleaning excrement and food delivery is retained, and they are only opened to allow them to come out after a few days of recovery, and only then do they begin to resume normal queue training.

To say that these soldiers are really disgraced, before setting off, they all look heroic in uniform, but in such a seasickness at sea, their steps are vain, their lives are lost, their faces are pale, their speech is plain, and their voices are several points lower. In the past few days, I have been recuperating in the container for a few days, and finally the soles of my feet are not shaking, and I am still better, but the queue training at this moment cannot be too desperate, that is, the queue is finished every day.

"Stand upright! Straighten my back! Nguyen Van Ngoc walked back and forth in front of the queue with a command knife in hand, and the group of soldiers in front of him included brothers who had fought with him in the New Army, as well as veterans who had joined the Foreign Legion when it was founded, but most of them were new recruits. Although the recruits are trying their best to stand in a military posture, but if they look at it a little closely, almost everyone looks listless, and the veterans and non-commissioned officers are slightly better, but they still can't stand being seasick and tossed at sea these days, and they are all barely supporting themselves.

Not far away, the lone grandson ball is cold and the enemy is troublesome

"I know! You're all tired right now, yes! We have been suffering from seasickness during this time at sea, and everyone has worked hard! But we are military men! It's the Foreign Legion," Ruan Wenyu shouted loudly, while Niu Jinxing, who was not far from him, was silent, quietly listening to what he was saying. The newly pressed playground was quiet, except for the sound of seabirds in the air from time to time with the waves crashing on the beach, only the breathing of the officers and soldiers of the Foreign Legion and the voice of Ruan Wenyu remained, and even the officers and men of the Naval Engineering Brigade who were watching the excitement next to them were silent at the moment, waiting to see what Ruan Wenyu had to say.

"We are the Foreign Legion!" Ruan Wenyu pointed to his cockade and said loudly, "Do you all know the history of the Foreign Legion?" When we were at a disadvantage in the whole country of Annam, we alone faced the Nanban ten times larger than ourselves in the port of Champa with the Senate Marines with hundreds of people, and the Nanban ran rampant in the whole country of Annam, killing and looting countless people, but in front of us, we still had to be deflated, not only that, but we also saved thousands of Annam refugees! This was the first battle of the Foreign Legion, and it was the one we should boast of. In addition to this, under the siege of 200,000 troops of the strongest South Bank Army in Annam, after fighting for several hours, we not only smashed the attack of the South Bank Army, but also fought a beautiful counterattack, not only defeated the main force of the South Bank Army, but also held Shabak! Let us make the Foreign Legion a real force to boast about in the Senate. Saying that, Ruan Wenyu pulled out his command knife, pointed to the north and continued loudly, "Look! This expedition to the north, we have to rescue more refugees, to bring back more refugees for China, so that they can become members of the country, and to ...... all of us as much as possible" Speaking of this, Ruan Wenyu paused slightly, "Find more girls, so that everyone can marry wives." ”

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in the entire queue, many soldiers laughed shyly a little embarrassed, and many engineers on the sidelines also laughed, Ruan Wenyu glanced at them with some dissatisfaction, and snorted at Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing hurriedly rushed over and yelled at the group of engineers, "You rough billets!" What's so funny? Don't you want to please your wife? Don't you know how many women there are in Port Vostochny? Inadequate! Do you want seven or eight people to have a wife? The engineers were silenced suddenly, the matter of marrying a wife was not an easy task in Oriental Harbor, and the situation of more men and fewer women was so serious that in the past two years, the guys who could find a woman as their wives would basically entertain all their friends, so that the Senate had to issue an order to limit the size of the treats of ordinary naturalized citizens to limit extravagance and waste.

Now not to mention the officers and soldiers of the Foreign Legion, even if you add all the veterans who set off to the north this time, there are not many of them who have married wives. Therefore, this time, before the Foreign Legion was opened, when Ruan Wenyu Niu Venus went to say goodbye to the commander Qian Longzhou, who was still hospitalized, Qian Longzhou also specially instructed him to save a large number of women, even if it was a drag, and to save as many women as possible, especially young women.

In fact, this is also the meaning of the Executive Committee, single men are the most unstable factor, no matter what country or dynasty, as long as there are many single men, there will definitely be social instability. Especially in the current social environment, polygamy is allowed, local tyrants and inferior gentry marry back seven or eight concubines, and long-term and short-term workers are not hungry, as long as someone comes to instigate, there will soon be social unrest, for the senate that wants to rule the world, this is absolutely impossible, must be eliminated. If you want social stability, the most important thing is, of course, to be well fed and clothed, but then you must satisfy the people's right to start a family and start a business, and when you have a wife and children, you can't say encourage them to rebel, even if you put a knife on their necks, you will bargain. This policy was already established at the beginning of the establishment of Dongfang Port, when the eyes of the Senate were still staring at the Dengzhou Rebellion in 1631, but now this time Wang's own rogues entered Shanxi and brought the chaos into the Central Plains, and finally forced the Wu Dynasty to deal with it.

Since it is a war, there will definitely be a large number of refugees, the rescue of the feudal government is slow, and by the time they start to provide relief, there are often no refugees left, so the Senate took this opportunity to grab people from the war, and strive to rescue these refugees who died of starvation or war in the history of the old world, so that they can exert their abilities in the port of the East. Therefore, the Senate has already issued a policy through the Executive Committee, the battle will definitely not be lost, the only thing to worry about is how to capture more prisoners, strive to divide and surround the rebel soldiers into organized prisoners, and then pack and transport them back to Dongfang Port to serve as labor, collect a large number of refugees in Shanxi as much as possible, prevent famine and infectious diseases, reduce mortality, and wait until the beginning of spring to transport them back by sea in large numbers.

Ruan Wenyu saw that the group of engineers stopped talking, so he quickly inserted the command knife back into the scabbard, and continued to say loudly, "Everyone has seen that this expedition is the first expedition of the Senate, and the army and the marines were not used, why?" "Where do the soldiers below have this kind of awareness? Of course, I can't guess, even Ruan Wenyu himself doesn't know, but Qian Longzhou told him, and he has the right to listen to the holy decree, "Think about it!" The first time we fought abroad, we used our Foreign Legion, which shows that our Foreign Legion is the strongest army in the Senate! Whether it is the Army or the Marine Corps, they can only stand aside! ”

When he said this, he actually had a lot of bottom in his heart, whether it was the army or the Marine Corps, there were a lot of veterans in it, and even the army was all veteran officers at the beginning, and the soldiers who served in it must all be naturalized people, and if they died in battle, they could still enter Xishan. Only their Foreign Legion, the soldiers to non-commissioned officers in it, basically are not naturalized people, don't look at the high allowance, if you die in battle, I am afraid that you will not even be able to enter the mountains and streams, he thinks that the reason why the Senate sent the Foreign Legion out to fight is because the Foreign Legion is cheap, but he doesn't dare to say it.

At this time, there was a commotion next to the playground, and Ruan Wenyu turned his head to look around, only to find that it was Maruyama, the chief of the General Staff, who was walking towards this side. Maruyama is wearing a full set of new uniforms, the only fly in the ointment is that his back is slightly hunched because of the perennial desk, but he basically can't see it against the background of the new red uniform and white armed belt, not to mention the high hat he wears on his head, which raises his height by more than ten centimeters, and the command knife and pistol hanging from his waist, making him look heroic, and even the white beard on his chin looks much more pleasing to the eye.

Many of the soldiers of the Naval Engineering Brigade who had stood in front of Maruyama before got out of the way, although they didn't know who this officer was, but the rank system of the Senate army was one, and everyone could see that this officer's rank was quite high, and even the company commander of their company was missing a few stars.

"Welcome to the Chief of the General Staff!" Ruan Wenyu hurriedly turned around and shouted loudly towards Maruyama, "Salute!" As soon as the soldiers below heard that it was the chief of the general staff, they hurriedly saluted. Maruyama smiled and walked over the soldier's wall, saluted sideways, and then returned the salute to Nguyen Van Ngoc as well, and said loudly, "Comrades have worked hard! ”

"Serve the Senate and the people!" The soldiers replied loudly. Maruyama nodded and said loudly, "I also heard Officer Nguyen Van Ngoo's words just now, it's very good!" Although all other branches of the armed forces later made trouble with the Executive Committee and wanted to use this action to go out to train troops, the Executive Committee unswervingly let our Foreign Legion participate independently, which shows the Senate's trust in us, and it is also the Senate's affirmation of our combat effectiveness, so what do you think we should do in this battle? ”

Most of the soldiers below are quick students who have just come out of the cultural training class, and Maruyama speaks a "Mandarin" with a Japanese accent from Annam, at this time, the soldiers generally can't understand this rhetoric except that they don't understand it, so now they just look at Maruyama one by one, not knowing how to answer. Although Ruan Wenyu didn't understand it very well, after all, it wasn't once or twice that he had dealt with Maruyama, and he even estimated it with a guess, so he took the lead and shouted loudly at this moment, "Listen to the command of the Senate!" Can win battles! Excellent style! Don't be afraid of strong enemies and dare to compete! Win the battle for the Senate! ”

Although the soldiers were slow to react, their battalion commanders were already shouting, of course, shouting together. In fact, the senators shamelessly copied the old world People's Liberation Army's military song of the same name, but only changed some of the words in it and began to teach the soldiers to sing it. However, the military songs of the People's Liberation Army are first-class strong opponents in terms of catchiness and political and ideological education, and the soldiers can basically sing them word for word after listening to them two or three times.

Soon a non-commissioned officer took the lead and began to sing, "Listen, the horn of the new journey is blowing!" The goal of the strong army is called ahead! If the country is strong, we must take responsibility! The battle flag is full of iron-blooded glory! ”

The soldiers sang along, "Soldiers! Listen to the command of the Senate! Can win battles! Excellent style! ”

The engineers of the Naval Engineering Brigade who were watching the excitement on the sidelines before were also gone one by one at this moment, and they hurriedly stood up one by one, facing the direction of the center of the playground and sang loudly, "Don't be afraid of strong enemies and dare to compete!" Win the battle for the Senate! ”

The high singing voice immediately floated over the Orchid Island, startling the birds in the woods next to it, flying and screaming in a burst of panic, causing the local natives to rush out one by one with the iron tools that had been changed for a short time, and ran out to see what was happening.

At this moment, three signal flares suddenly rose on the sea, and sharp-eyed soldiers hurriedly pointed at the signal flares and shouted, "Look! Vigilance Alert! "Two red flares and one yellow flare are slowly falling in the air. The soldiers on the Oriental Port naturally saw the signal flare immediately, and hurriedly rushed to the alarm, shook it vigorously, and soon the sharp siren sounded.

The soldiers on the playground were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at Ruan Wenyu, Ruan Wenyu couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and hurriedly waved his hands, "Everyone is in place, go to the arsenal to get weapons!" Get ready to defend! The soldiers hurriedly lined up and ran to the newly established weapons depot to collect their weapons.

"What happened?" Hong Jie was standing on the deck of the Oriental Port a little bored, watching the officers and soldiers of the Foreign Legion in red uniforms singing on the playground in the distance, and was thinking that it was time to roar, but he heard the alarm sounding, and quickly turned around and ran to the command cabin. At this moment, several Navy soldiers spread out a pair of hot air balloons on the deck, connected to the gondola, some dragged the steam hose over to prepare for heating, and more soldiers were preparing fuel for the combustion chamber. He hurriedly ran to the front and shouted, "Who is in charge here?" ”

"You're in charge! Sir! A non-commissioned officer looked left and right and found that only Hong Jie had the most stars on his shoulder, and hurriedly replied loudly. Hong Jie nodded, "Okay, take me up and have a look!" ”
