Chapter 68: Before the exercise begins

Ps: three days off, sorry
明 Under the guard's guard, Li Mingyuan and his party came to the training ground outside the barracks.
On the training ground, the soldiers of the first mixed brigade were training. Seeing Li Mingyuan and others coming, Wang Dashan gave the training to the deputy and ran quickly to Li Mingyuan.
"The First Mixed Brigade is undergoing tactical training, and the brigade commander Wang Dashan comes to report." Wang Dashan stood straight, and said earnestly.
"Hmm." Li Mingyuan returned a military salute and said, "Coloster West wants to watch the exercise of the troops, Dashan, to show the guests a hand."
"Follow the orders." Wang Dashan quickly ran back to the training ground without making bullshit, and decisively ordered "the head of a regiment, the two regiments led the soldiers to conduct a confrontation exercise."
是 "Yes" the two strong men exclaimed loudly, and immediately assembled the team,
After a few minutes, the two groups of soldiers assembled and stood neatly in a team.
"Seiko, all the soldiers of the First Mixed Brigade have assembled, please instruct."
明 Li Mingyuan nodded, stepped down and stood in front of the soldier, and smiled. "Coloster West is very curious about our Chinese Independent Army. Today I specifically asked to watch your exercise. You must perform well and let the Prussian guests see the Chinese Independent Army.
"Have you heard that, the foreign brothers all know the name of the Chinese Independent Army? You must behave well and don't humiliate the Chinese Independent Army." Li Mingyuan said, Wang Dashan added.
"Yes" answered Wang Dashan with a loud and confident shout.
After listening to the translation, West laughed and said, "It's a group of great guys. They are different from what I imagined."
"Colonel West has misunderstood. For the foreign friends, the Chinese Independent Army has always been hospitable and hospitable. We will entertain them with guns only when facing the enemy."
In the late Qing Dynasty, the Chinese had a contradictory psychology towards white Westerners. Some people deterred the foreigners by force and bowed their knees. Others held hostility towards the foreigners and refused to communicate with the foreigners.
However, the performance of the soldiers and officers of the first mixed brigade was not low-handed and self-confident in enthusiasm, so West asked euphemistically.
"The Chinese Independent Army was born in the Taiping Army, and there are some foreigners in the Taiping Army who share the same ideals and convictions as us. So for foreigners, we will not treat the flooding beasts like Manchu officials." Li Mingyuan explained with a smile.
During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, about 1,000 foreigners joined the Taiping Army. Among them, Li Xiucheng's foreign soldiers were the largest, reaching several hundred.
For these foreigners fighting alongside themselves, ordinary Pacific Army soldiers often refer to them as foreign brothers, so only Wester saw it.
"The army of your soldiers is majestic and majestic, and I would love to be friends with them."
西方 In the eyes of Westerners, the Chinese have an ugly appearance, with a disgusting money mouse tail, crooked eyes, wrapped feet, and wearing ugly nomadic costumes, and they are almost as barbaric as uncivilized people.
When West first met South American Chinese workers, his impression of Chinese people was the same as that of ordinary Westerners.
At that time, Li Mingyuan had just launched an uprising. His Chinese workers were ragged and covered in mud. Some Chinese workers still had pigtails that they had not cleaned for a few months.
At the time in West ’s eyes, these Chinese workers were thin and yellow, like a group of beggars, and could not survive the blow of the Peruvian army.
In the end, the development of the event exceeded his imagination. South American Chinese laborers not only survived, but also snowballed into a rebellious force covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and soldiers exceeding 100,000.
Therefore, Westward came to Peru again with curiosity and confusion, and witnessed the change of the Chinese Independent Army.
The current Chinese Independence Army has all shaved off the money mouse tail, and the tattered jersey has also been replaced with a strong black military uniform.
This military uniform is a simplified design of Li Mingyuan's comprehensive German military uniform and Qin Dynasty military uniform, which retains the characteristics of the German military uniform and adds the advantages of the classic atmosphere of Chinese clothing.
After sending the manufactured sample to the soldiers to try it on, the response was very good, so Li Mingyuan ordered the garment factory in the occupied area to rush to produce 10,000 military uniforms, and then first distributed the produced uniforms to the first mixed brigade. Used by the Second Mixed Brigade and Cavalry Brigade and officers above the battalion level.
In order to save production costs, the materials and design of military uniforms have been simplified. The shoulder pads and other decorations on military uniforms have been removed, leaving only the main body of the garment.
Although it is a simplified version of military uniforms, the aesthetic effect of this military uniform is still better than the uniforms of many countries.
Without the shoulder pads and decorations, the entire military uniform looks simpler and simpler, adding to the soldier's heroism.
The Tatars were clothed in gold and gold, and brand-new black uniforms. The soldiers of the first mixed brigade looked mighty and solemn. From them, Li Mingyuan seemed to see the shadow of the Great Qin Tiejun who swept the crowd.
"Coloster West, my subordinates can still be in your eyes." Li Mingyuan smiled and looked at West.
West looked away from the soldiers in front and lamented, "In a few months, your Excellency trained a group of laborers into a mighty army. I really don't understand how you did it."
"Thank you, Colonel for your praise." Li Mingyuan calmly accepted West's compliment and said to the soldiers of the First Mixed Brigade, "Mr. West, do you find any difference from these soldiers?"
West observed the soldiers in front of him again, and said, "The generals of your army are very disciplined and have firm eyes. Although they have not seen them exercise, I can be sure they are all excellent soldiers."
Born into the military aristocratic family of Prussia Junker, he engaged in military training from a young age and was very familiar with military affairs. From the eyes of the soldiers in front of him, he saw the shadow of the Prussian Army.
明 Li Mingyuan borrowed from the experience of the Prussian Army when training soldiers, but as for the soldiers ’ideology, Li Mingyuan chose to inculcate classical patriotism into them.
Since Li was born again, Li Mingyuan has never relaxed. Even after a battle victory, he will take the time to explain military theories and patriotism for officers.
Li Mingyuan was pleased that his hard work was not wasted. From the eyes of these soldiers, he saw a light called faith,
An army without faith will perish,
In ancient China, soldiers often regarded the army chief as the backbone of the army. The army chief would influence his soldiers by virtue of his personality charm. Qi Jiajun, Yue Jiajun, Lu Xiangsheng ’s Tianxiong Army and so on.
But this army with the belief in the general is very fragile. Once the general is killed, the whole army will soon be torn apart.
Lost faith in combat.
明 What Li Mingyuan does not need is such an army. What he wants is a corrector who shouts, "Teach the Lao Qin, restore me to the mountains and rivers, never run out of blood, never die."
Therefore, Li Mingyuan proposed a system of dividing military power into fields, using fields to arouse the courage of soldiers to fight, and using patriotism as the soldier's faith in fighting heroically.
I glanced at the soldiers in front of him with satisfaction, Li Mingyuan said, "Mr. West is right, they are excellent soldiers.
They may not be as good as your army soldiers in combat skills, but their combat beliefs will not be inferior to any army.
The blood of ancient Qin empire warriors is flowing in their bodies. Under the circumstances of adversity in a foreign country, I believe they will restore the blood of their ancestors and recast the backbone of the nation. "
明 Li Mingyuan was a little excited. "Isn't Mr. West asking me how to train a brave army in a short time?
I can tell you that it is faith, because with faith, a worker who insults and steals can transform into a fearless army within a few months,
Because they have faith, they know why they are fighting, not for empty patriotic slogans, nor for corrupt officials and businessmen.
He is only for a better life, for the rise of the nation, and for future generations to be able to live in the world with dignity and not be scolded by others as a sick man in East Asia. "
明 Li Mingyuan's words resonated with West. The German region has been a place where the vassals have been fighting for over a thousand years. The people living on this land have been tortured by war.
Since modern times, the German region has been violated by neighboring countries. The vast German region has been torn apart, and even the famous poet Schiller has questioned it.
Wu: "Germany? Where is it? I can't find that place."
Schiller's friend Goethe simply said that there is no city or even a place, which makes us firmly point out that this is Germany ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If we ask in Vienna, the answer is, here is Austria; we
I asked this question in Berlin, and the answer is, here is Prussia. Where is Germany?
Heavy questioning awakened the desire of the Germans to unify,
Many Germans, like West, either joined the army or entered the university to fight for the unification of Germany.
The road to German reunification is difficult, but seeing the current army in a foreign country who still does not give up hope, West sees a firm look: "Your army is an admirable army, I firmly believe in your The army, like Prussia, will definitely defeat its immediate enemies and achieve their goals. "
"As a pure soldier, I admire the men who fought for the country, and I apologize for the previous misunderstanding of your army." Wester said a word, and then saluted Li Mingyuan solemnly.
In the face of West ’s move, Li Mingyuan was a bit surprised and felt his move was reasonable.
Among the traditional soldiers, they often show their respect for a respectable army. Even if this army is their enemy, they will also give the other party the respect it deserves.
Now, West also treats the Chinese Independent Army as a respectable army.
"It's an honor to be recognized by Colonel West, but now it's time for the boys to perform." After Ming stood up, Li Mingyuan smiled.
相信 "I believe these stick guys will bring an eye-catching performance," West said.
"Dashan, order troops, the exercise officially begins."
Li Mingyuan said.
"Yes." Wang Dashan turned around to pass the order, and the two regiments under the first mixed brigade immediately returned to their positions in accordance with the training requirements.
