Chapter 1651 The officers are ready

"Congratulations to all the newly promoted corps leaders. Whether you passed the disciplinary assessment or passed the competition to stand out, you are all corps leaders who have been promoted based on your own abilities. You are all the elites of our Zhejiang Army. Congratulations."

Zhu Pingan gathered all the corporal leaders who had passed the discipline assessment and the corporal leaders who had passed the competition on the high platform, announced their appointment as corporal leaders in front of the entire battalion, and congratulated them.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity, thank you for your appreciation, we will swear to serve you to the death, fight the enemy bravely, and live up to your trust." All the newly promoted corporal leaders stepped forward excitedly, especially the newly recruited Yiwu recruits The corporal leader was even more excited beyond words, knelt down to express his opinion, vowing to serve Zhu Ping'an to the death.

"Commanders, please, this is what you have obtained by your own ability. You don't need to thank me. Chiefs are not only an honor, but also a responsibility. The burden on your shoulders is not light. In a word, lead good soldiers, fight good battles, don't Let me down."

Zhu Pingan pulled up the three corporal leaders who were closest to him, motioned for all the newly promoted corporal leaders to get up, and encouraged him.

"We will not disappoint you." All the corporal leaders shouted loudly. ,

"Very good." Zhu Pingan nodded, and then turned to all the soldiers, encouraging him, "Don't be discouraged, all the soldiers who have failed in the election, practice well, strictly observe military discipline, and fight the enemy bravely. In the future, there will be opportunities to be promoted."

"Practice well and fight the enemy bravely." Encouraged by Zhu Ping'an, the defeated soldiers were full of fighting spirit again.

The selection of the corporal leader is over, and there is also the selection of the whistle chief. This time, 1,200 recruits were recruited, a total of 125, and there should be 30 sentry chiefs.

The selection of the whistle chief is the same as the selection of the captain. First, he is promoted through the performance assessment, and the superior rank is promoted to the chief whistle. A total of 18 corporal chiefs have been awarded the top rank in the recent disciplinary performance assessment, and all of them have been promoted to post chiefs.

After the disciplinary assessment and promotion, there are still 12 post chief posts left.

Zhu Ping'an announced that the 12 posts of post chiefs, like corporal chiefs, are also selected through competitions. All corps chiefs, old or new, are treated equally and can participate in the post of post chiefs.

All the corporal leaders are all gearing up and eager to try.

Following Zhu Pingan's order, the whistle chief competition began, and the cheers of mountains and tsunami came one after another in the Taohuaji school grounds.

After a fierce competition, twelve whistle chiefs were released, four of them were veteran captains, six new captains were named Wu, and two new veteran captains.

Yiwu people are worthy of being a natural soldier. Zhu Pingan couldn't help admiring in his heart when he saw Chen Dacheng and other six former Wu Xinjin post chiefs.

Of the twelve post chiefs, Yiwu people accounted for half of the country, and the old and new corps leaders accounted for half. The veteran corporals only occupied four places. The old corporals won the competition a few months ago. They are the best among the veterans. Human opponents; veterans and new corporals only occupy two spots

Zhu Pingan congratulated everyone and announced the appointment of their whistle chief.

Because twelve of their corporal leaders were promoted to post chiefs, 12 corporal leaders were left vacant. After some competition, twelve lucky new corporal leaders were born.

Next is the general selection.

The Zhejiang Army used to have six generals, Wang Xiong, Xia Laojiu, Liu Bo, Hu Laosan, Qian Bao, and Zhang Heizi. Now there are 1,200 new recruits and seven new generals. A total of vacancies.

Same as the selection of corporal chiefs and whistle chiefs, the general selection is also selected through the performance assessment first, and the six top-ranking whistle chiefs are promoted to general. There is only one total quota left, and this quota is produced through competition.

All whistle chiefs can participate in the selection.

Competition is fierce.

In the end, Yiwu Chen Dacheng became more and more courageous in his battles, passed all the way, and became the person who had the last laugh, and became the new general manager.

This is the real boss, all the way from the small soldier to the corps leader, then to the whistle chief, and then to the boss.

Especially in the general competition, he was at a disadvantage. He started the general selection just after finishing the selection of the whistle chief, and there was no rest time in between. dominant.

However, Chen Dacheng is worthy of being the man who can rule the roost in Yiwu, and he stood at the end with a tired body.

So far, the selection of the bottom and middle-level officers of the Zhejiang Army has been completed. After Zhu Pingan announced the appointment of Chen Dacheng as the general manager, he solemnly introduced Ou Zhige, Zhang Hong and other craftsmen and apprentices to the entire army of the Zhejiang Army. Added an equipment battalion.

After Zhu Pingan announced the establishment of the equipment battalion, he continued to announce in public: "The main duties of the equipment battalion are to make cotton armor, make cold weapons, and develop firearms: Ou Zhige, Zhang Hong and their apprentices are responsible for the development of firearms. , the rest of the craftsmen and apprentices are responsible for the development of cotton armor protective gear and cold weapons. The current main task is to make cotton armor. The staff of the equipment battalion is temporarily composed of 18 people including five craftsmen including Ou Zhige and their apprentices. Zhang Hong and other five master craftsmen enjoy the treatment of the battalion commander, and the rest of the apprentices enjoy the treatment of the sentinel leader."

"Huh? The craftsmen actually enjoy the treatment of the battalion commander, and the apprentices enjoy the treatment of the sentry chief? Is this too high?"

"They just burn the fire and strike the iron, and enjoy such high treatment as soon as they come?"

"Aren't they assisting us? We don't have to rely on us to kill the enemy. They burn fire and iron in the back. We kill the enemy in the front line. Why are they paid more than us?"

All the soldiers have no objection to the establishment of the equipment battalion, but they have opinions on the high treatment of the craftsmen and apprentices in the equipment camp. They think that the craftsmen and apprentices are just blacksmiths, and the treatment has surpassed them.

"Soldiers, don't feel unbalanced, thinking that the official treats the craftsmen of the equipment battalion preferentially. The ancients said: if the equipment is not good, use it to the enemy; No less. The armor and armor made by the Equipment Battalion will be our second life in the battlefield, and the weapons they make, especially the firearms, will be the best weapon for us to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield.

Zhu Pingan explained to everyone.

After listening to Zhu Ping'an's explanation, the grievances in the hearts of the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army gradually dissipated, and they began to understand Zhu Ping'an's good intentions. Armor and weapons are indeed very important on the battlefield. Yu has one more life, and sharp weapons can greatly improve their combat effectiveness, so they figured it out.

Then Zhu Ping'an emphasized to the craftsmen and apprentices, "Of course, your equipment battalion is well paid and has great responsibilities. In addition to implementing disciplinary performance assessments, the equipment battalion must ensure the quality of the weapons and equipment developed. Our Zhejiang Army followed the example of the previous dynasty. Le Gongming, that is to say, craftsmen should engrave their names on weapons and equipment. This is an honor and a responsibility. The weapons and equipment you make with your own hands will follow the soldiers of our Zhejiang Army to fight the enemy bravely and make contributions. Of course, if the weapons and equipment have For quality problems, the craftsmen will be held accountable, and according to the severity of the situation, they will be severely punished."

"Your Excellency will not be disappointed." Ou Zhige, Zhang Hong and other craftsmen and apprentices responded loudly.

Hearing that the craftsmen not only carried out the performance assessment, but also engraved their names on the weapons and equipment, and assumed joint and several responsibilities to ensure the quality of the weapons and equipment, the grievances in the hearts of all the soldiers disappeared completely.

Since there were only 18 people in the equipment battalion, Zhu Ping'an ordered the logistics battalion to fully cooperate with the equipment battalion. When it was necessary to give people and goods, it was necessary to ensure the needs of the equipment battalion, speed up the production of cotton armor and other equipment, and equip them into the army as soon as possible.

Now the Japanese invasion situation is severe, and the Zhejiang army may go to the battlefield at any time, and armor and other equipment are too important.

A fully armored soldier has a survival rate several times higher than an unarmored soldier!
