The winter training in the Hetao base area is coming to an end, and the various detachments participating in the winter training have basically completed their assessments. The results of this assessment set a record for all winter training in the Far East, and even surpassed the results of the intensive training of the musket militia company in some subjects.

This also caused a great repercussion in the Far Eastern Company, and everyone did not believe it, but it turned out to be true. Li Ming, Song Tao, Ma Qing, and other members of the Standing Committee of the Hetao Base Area were also unbelievable.

After all, it is only a winter training for displaced people, and the main purpose is to eradicate illiteracy among the displaced people who have just joined the Far East, strengthen their organizational discipline, and improve their physical fitness. But I didn't expect to get such a good assessment result, which made everyone smile bitterly.

The main reason is that all the displaced people and prisoners of the border army have learned the news through various channels, that is, after the end of the winter training, the Northwest Field Army will recruit a large number of new recruits among the displaced people, and the threshold for recruitment is based on the assessment results of the winter training.

This also made the vast number of displaced people who participated in this winter training, the border soldiers and military households in Ningxia Town, and the rescued Han slaves in the grassland, all of them all trained hard as if they were doing their best.

In addition, in order to pick some good seedlings for the Northwest Field Army, Li Ming increased the amount of training in this winter training by a large margin, and a variety of factors combined to create a miracle in the winter training in the Hetao base area.

Li Ming, of course, was also quite excited, and immediately ordered the noncommissioned officers and cadres of all units of the Northwest Field Army to go down to various detachments one after another to select troops and set up a training center for the Northwest Field Army as soon as possible.

The company has gone through the most difficult period, and some of the original stalled projects have been accelerated. In the past two years, the company has made large-scale cuts in the budgets of various departments, which have caused some of the projects that each department was originally going to implement to be discontinued. This spring, departments are gearing up to find ways to increase their budgets at board committee meetings.

Of course, the Central Military Commission also has to strive for it, and it is not only the acceleration of the formation of the three field armies. The Admiralty's construction of several new sail warships, as well as a large number of large sail carriers, would like to approve a few more at this year's board committee meeting.

The Ministry of the Air Force is even more anxious, and the large eight-engine airship designed by the Big Airship R&D Center has completed all the test flight tasks, and the design has been finalized, and it has been named the Type 39 large airship. The Ministry of the Air Force has already submitted a budget request. Ready to order two brigades at once.

All departments of the Far Eastern Company knew very well that a fierce battle of tears was inevitable at the meeting of the board of directors in the near future. At that time, all departments will inevitably fight for the interests of their own departments.

The management committee of the Hetao base area is not in a hurry, because the Hetao base area, as well as the subordinate bases in the Ming Dynasty, have rarely occupied the company's resources in the past two years, and have been carrying forward the hard and simple work style, and have really lived a hard life for two years.

Moreover, the formation of the Northwest Field Army is also the company's top priority this year. Since the company has passed the difficult period, the speed of development will inevitably not be as fast as a rapid stage. The plan to move north and west will of course speed up, and the rapid control of Eurasia before the company takes over the Central Plains is the main task of the Far Eastern Military Commission for the next two years.

Therefore, this year, the company's support for the Hetao base area will definitely increase, and other departments in the Far East have nothing to say. Everyone knows how heavy the Hetao base area is.

The cadres and non-commissioned officers sent by various units of the Northwest Field Army were stationed in various winter training camps, and the displaced people and prisoners of the border army in the camps were very excited. Of course. It's more nervous, because wolves have more meat and less meat. The competition is too fierce.

Zhao Lianhe and a few old brothers from the former border army gathered together, sat on the ground, and looked at the newly erected tents in the middle of the camp. This is where the Northwest Field Army was recruited, and more than a dozen officers and men of the Far Eastern Army are currently busy there.

"Lao Zhao, how can you be chosen? Lao Tzu has worked hard this time, and he has eaten food in Ningxia Town for so many years. I've never been so tired. ”

"Isn't it, Lao Tzu is also playing with his life, don't you say, I have been trained by them for a few months, and my body is really a lot harder. Even if you meet those old family members now. Lao Tzu dared to compare with them. ”

Zhao Lianhe listened to everyone's words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I estimate that it is about the same, the instructor specially asked me that day, asked me if I could ride a horse, I said I would, the instructor chatted with me for a while, and asked me to get ready." I had an extra heart and asked specifically, according to the instructor, this recruitment will give priority to horseback riding. ”

Everyone was immediately excited when they heard this, they were all soldiers from Ningxia Town, different from the military households in Tuntian. When they were on the border of the northern captives on the grassland, they all had to fight hard. There was no shortage of war horses in the Northwest Frontier Army, and the soldiers in Ningxia Town would ride horses, and many of them rode well. Zhao Lianhe used to do not collect at night, and he was even more skilled in arching and horses, and he was also able to fight in the border army.

And everyone worked very hard in this winter training, and they all went out, and they almost vomited blood from exhaustion, so the assessment results of the winter training were reasonable. Coupled with the fact that they are all skilled horsemen, there is great hope that they will be selected into the Northwest Field Army this time.

Sure enough, as Zhao Lianhe expected, a few days later, the first selection of soldiers for those Far Eastern officers and soldiers in the camp began, and the first ones to choose were all good riders. In particular, the border troops in Ningxia Town are the majority.

Of course, they have also undergone the assessment of the Far Eastern Army, and they all have to ride war horses and run a few laps in the camp to prove that they are good at riding horses. After the excited Zhao Lianhe rode on the war horse, he also did a lot of difficult actions, and was praised by the cadres of the Far East Army who selected the soldiers for a long time, and wrote down his name.

At present, the Northwest Field Army first needs to select cavalry, and the two newly formed cavalry divisions need regular cavalry, and the soldiers must be good at riding horses before they are qualified to be recruits for the two cavalry divisions.

Fortunately, there were many people who were good at riding horses in the border army of Ningxia Town, and there were more than 10,000 people in total. The Far Eastern Army also rescued thousands of Han slaves on the grassland, plus the military households in the border towns and some homeless people in various parts of Shanxi who could ride horses.

The rest of the mounted infantry is easy to handle, it is enough to train during the training of recruits, anyway, it is only a horse march, and the average person can quickly master it.

After more than half a month of selection, all the recruits of the newly formed units of the Northwest Field Army have been selected. They all entered the boot camp and began another few months of rigorous training. (To be continued.) )
