ps: Thank you, Fatty, Bookmate 20180518155635512 for your support!
Walking down from the second floor of Yuxing Tea House, Zhang Lingyun and Wang Shizhen helped drunk Lu Rongting get on three three-wheel rickshaws and returned to the barracks 20 minutes later.
In the afternoon, when Lu Rongting fell asleep, he washed his face with a bucket of cold water, and was much more awake.
"Brother Shizhen, we will graduate from the foundation in three days. Did you choose your major?"
Lu Rongting put the towel on the washstand and asked casually.
"Instructor Zhou suggested that I apply for artillery, and my mother and mother agreed to apply for artillery."
Wang Shizhen replied.
"Artillery, that stuff is not easy to manipulate!"
Hearing the other person's relatives at home, Lu Rongting had a relaxed expression on his face, but his heart was sad.
Wang Shizhen's father died prematurely. After being passed on to his uncle, his uncle died two years later. He was raised by two widows when he was a child. When the famine broke out in 1874, he and two widows immigrated to Han Dynasty because of their origin. The scholar family had several years of schooling experience. After emigrating to Han Dynasty, he was admitted to the Army Officer School Preparatory Department and studied with Lu Rongting in a class.
Although Wang Shizhen was poor when he was a child, he had two widows who raised him wholeheartedly and lived well when there was no major famine. When Lu Rongting was one year old, his father was framed by the villagers as a collaborator of the Taiping Army and killed alive. His mother Ou Shi had no choice but to remarry to the county seat. Every month he gave some money to his son living in the countryside. After a few years, his mother Ou Shi couldn't bear his son's suffering in the countryside. When his mother died of illness, Lu Rongting became an unsupported orphan. He suffered the most troubled half year by begging in a county beggar. Finally, he encountered the IDF intelligence personnel who specialized in receiving homeless orphans and was transported all the way to South America. .
After 1840, natural disasters and man-made disasters prevailed in the Central Plains, and millions of unsupported orphans are produced every year. Except for a few of these orphans, they are relatively lucky to survive, and most of them die from the streets due to diseases, hunger and other reasons.
Juveniles are the future and hope of a country, and the most precious wealth of a nation. Although these children are not the urgently needed young labors required by the Han country, Li Mingyuan still orders some intelligence personnel to be responsible for resettlement of mainland orphans. work.
Like those lucky orphans, Lu Rongting was transported to the Boy Scout training camp outside the capital city. There, Lu Rongting received five years of closed-end military and cultural education, and then advanced to the Army Officer School Foundation with the highest ranking. Ministry of Learning.
The Taiping Army has a tradition of organizing Boy Scouts. Wang Dashan and Wang Xiaoshan, brothers of the National Defense Forces who were promoted to the command of the Nanyang Regiment and commanders of the Fourth Division, were born in Boy Camps. There are no conditions for the establishment of Scouts in the country, and as a group of orphans aged around ten come to South America, how to properly arrange them has become a major issue.
Young orphans are younger. Like the Taiping Army, letting them fight as soldiers in Li Mingyuan's view is tantamount to a crime against the nation. It is easy for them to be caused by the status of orphans when they are arranged to go to school with children who have families. Some inevitable problems. In the end, after vetoing the above two plans, Li Mingyuan decided to set up a training school specifically to train young orphans, and the government and the army dispatched teachers to train them.
The Scout training camp adopts a militarized management method. Here, all orphans are divided into different classes according to their age, and then are divided into ordinary classes and elite classes according to the different knowledge-receiving capabilities of each orphan, and enter the elite class. On the one hand, children need to receive stricter education, on the one hand, they can get the qualifications to become members of the Han Dynasty Revival Youth League (referred to as the Youth League), on the other hand, they can get Li Mingyuan's personal interviews and the places of the Lu and Naval Schools.
Lu Rongting received a saber presented by Li Mingyuan at the graduation ceremony of the Scout training camp, and was also liked by the instructor after he was admitted to the prep department. However, when he was struggling to study, Lu Rongting could not help but feel tired sometimes. At this time, the mother's expectation to become a man became the driving force for his hard work. In his heart, he always had the idea of ​​becoming a general and leading his soldiers to catch the killers who killed his father to avenge his father, and then The father and mother's bones were transported to Han Dynasty, and a beautiful funeral was held for the parents.
"Is Brother Lu going to apply for cavalry?"
Wang Shizhen splashed the water that washes his face to the outside, and found no change in Lu Rongting's mood. He smiled and said, "Brother Lu has served in the First Division Cavalry Battalion for one year as an intern, and even Chief Zhang praised Brother Lu for riding well. When applying for the Cavalry Division, depending on the importance of Chief Zhang, maybe he can become the Deputy Commander of the Cavalry Company directly after graduation. "
"Which brother Wang Shizhen said is so simple." Lu Rongting shook his head, disagreeing with his statement.
"After the change in the establishment of the National Defense Forces, in addition to the cavalry division, only four divisional cavalry battalions and three brigade cavalry companies recruited cavalry officers. There are only a few rising positions for cavalry officers. How many years. "
The Han country is located in the Pampas prairie. The adaptable natural environment and the policy of introducing excellent horses have been adhered to for many years. The National Defense Force no longer lacks qualified war horses. The horses produced on the racecourse are very large except for war horses. A portion was allocated to the transportation of weapons and materials by the Zizhong Army.
Ample sources of horses meet the needs of warhorses, but they cannot change the declining trend of cavalry forces in the National Defense Forces.
The imitation of rifles, 75mm field guns and machine guns on the cavalry has become more and more effective. Because of the need for combat in Argentina, the National Defense Force expanded the cavalry brigade into a cavalry division. However, the newly prepared four field divisions Compared with the three independent mixed brigades, only one cavalry battalion and one cavalry company have been retained. Compared with the Japanese division-level unit and a town unit full of the Qingxin Army, the number of cavalry has been greatly reduced.
The second expansion of the National Defense Force increased the equipment rate of artillery, machine guns, mortars and other weapons, as well as new arms such as engineering, communications, surveying and mapping.

After passing the preparatory department's graduation exam, he has the opportunity to be promoted to a battalion officer.
Except for the Pampas prairie, Chile, Paraguay, and the Brazilian Plateau around Han were not suitable for cavalry operations. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Therefore, Lu Rongting gave up the opportunity to apply for cavalry and chose a more promising infantry. Division as a major military major.
"Brother Lu rode so badly that there was a noble cavalry officer named August von Markenson among the new batch of German instructors who were about to teach. I heard that he had once stood in the Franco-Prussian war. Great work, Brother Lu gave up studying cavalry and missed the chance to meet August von Mackenson. It is a pity. "
Wang Shizhen was not the warlord who later became a big boss in the North Sea. At this time, he was thinking purely for Lu Rongting.
"Captain Augusta is an excellent soldier, and it is indeed a shame not to be able to learn from him cavalry skills, but the German officer delegation led by Count Gottlieb von Hazelle also returned There are excellent officers such as Captain Remus von Walch, Captain Hermann von Eichhorn, Captain Colmar von de Goertz, and others who can choose to learn from the infantry department. Excellent tactics. "
"Well, Brother Lu's military skills are excellent. Even if he did not choose the cavalry department, I believe Brother Lu can do a good job."
Wang Shizhen smiled. …… To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
