Wearing a black student uniform, Lu Ming looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
Next to her, holding a schoolbag similar to a black briefcase, was Liuli, who was smiling beautifully.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Lu Ming was preparing to leave for school. The first lesson of the school day started.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the maids coming in and out of the living room. Lu Ming was a little helpless. The maids at home, as if to coincide with the beginning of the school year, all wore student uniforms and skirts. It was Liuli's idea. Black Head and Yuluan were Liuli's.
Liu Li's suggestion, the remaining eight Qing'e were Liu Li's orders.
It should be said that Heitou, Yuluan and Daguo Xiaoguo are pleasing to the eye in beautiful and cute student uniforms, but the same is true for several Qing'e with big shoulders and round waists, their hands are covered with calluses, and their clothes are about to burst.
Makes you speechless.
Then Lu Ming shook his head. They were all people who served him loyally, but he still subconsciously looked at them based on their appearance and figure. This was a bit wrong.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Lu Ming took the schoolbag from Liuli's hand.
At this moment, the phone on the TV cabinet in the living room rang. Yu Luan stood next to the phone, answered the phone, turned around and said sharply: "Master, Hu Dingshan's phone number."
Um?
Lu Ming walked over a few steps and took the microphone, frowning slightly as he listened to Hu Dingshan's words inside.
He hung up the phone, looked at the wall clock, shook his head and said, "I won't go to school, I have something to do."
I felt helpless, as if I was in this world and wanting to go to school was a luxury after all.
Hu Dingshan called, but the Imperial Capital had already initially agreed to the report of the new private soldiers submitted by Governor Chaxon. Now, Governor Chaxon wants to see him. After all, he is one of the two chief officers of the new army. He must
Want to meet.
Time was running out, and Hu Dingshan said that he must meet with Governor Chuckson today, otherwise things would change later.
The implicit meaning is that Mrs. Hu does not know that the New Army incident has been completed, and if she is interfered with, she is afraid that her position will be ruined.
Therefore, I had to go there. I had to be absent from the first day of school, and I didn’t know when I would be able to find time.
…
Jiangning Provincial City is relatively close to the southern part of the province. It only takes more than three hours to take a train from Zhenjiang to Jiangning Provincial City.
On the way, Lu Ming thought about the various possibilities of meeting Governor Chuxon, and also thought about how efficient Mrs. Windsor was.
Of course, Governor Chuckson's report itself was reasonable, and the military department's decision to block it was a bit of a bully. Once the big shot entrusted by Sister Windsor came forward, it was a matter of course.
As for Sister Windsor, she must have put in a lot of effort. She originally hoped to carve out a world in the five provinces of Jiangnan and add some weight to the heir she supported. When she becomes stronger, she can be regarded as a princess.
A small member of the Perry Windsor faction, as for myself now, at least the big shots in the imperial capital seem to be completely unqualified to be mentioned by them.
At most, he could just get a nouveau riche from the oil field out of nowhere, plus he's a good-mouthed lawyer. But to a person of that level, what does that mean?
…
Although he had thought about various possible conversations with Governor Chuxon and how to deal with them, when he actually saw Governor Chuxon, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel helpless. The rumors from the outside seemed to be true. Governor Chuxon
, obviously showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
An old man in his seventies has obvious age spots on his face and hands.
I forgot Lu Ming's name several times and asked Hu Dingshan to remind him.
The meeting took place in a quiet tea room. It seems that when Governor Chuxon usually drank tea, Hu Dingshan chose to meet here to prevent others from disturbing him.
"Oh, Qianxing, is Ms. Pasha okay?" Governor Chuxon suddenly asked.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "It's okay." Now he has some experience. Governor Chuckson misremembered who he was again and thought he was a descendant of an old friend.
Hu Dingshan was drinking tea calmly beside him.
Lu Ming sighed inwardly. The people around Governor Chuxon probably dealt with him in this way.
Governor Chuxon looked to the side, stretched out his hand, shook hands with the air, and then turned his head: "Qianxing, from now on the new army, you and Dingshan must do a good job!"
While he was speaking, the secretary behind him took out a few pages of paper, pens, official seals, etc. from the side drawer, and he signed and stamped them.
Hu Dingshan immediately put down his teacup and stared at Governor Chuxon's every move, his eyes flashing with joy.
What Governor Chuckson issued was naturally a letter of appointment for Hu Dingshan and Lu Ming, as well as an order granting them the authority to form a new army and requiring the cooperation of relevant departments, etc.
"Your Excellency, we are resigning!" Putting these official letters into his briefcase, Hu Dingshan stood up and said carelessly, "You can knock me down when you are done with it. Anyway, you will forget my rudeness today tomorrow."
The secretary behind Chuckson nodded to Hu Dingshan.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Lu Ming knew that the secretary had taken advantage of Hu Dingshan.
Lu Ming stood up, bowed slightly as he was polite, and said, "Your Excellency, Governor, I take my leave!"
The secretary looked at him in surprise and said nothing.
Governor Chuckson smiled and nodded to Lu Ming. At this time, it seemed that he suddenly felt normal.
…
Back in the car outside, Hu Dingshan smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, oh, it's time to call you Commissioner Lu. From now on, we will be colleagues!" He stretched out his hand and said, "Please ask Commissioner Lu for more guidance in the future."
Lu Ming smiled, stretched out his hand and shook his hand.
Hu Dingshan added: "That's what I think, Commissioner Lu. Immediately, the two of us will convene a meeting of several officers from the battalion level and above of the garrison regiment that will be abolished to set up a new army preparatory committee. You will be the chairman and I will be the deputy chairman."
Commission, after that, the officers and soldiers that can be retained in the abolition of the garrison, as well as the selection of talents in the military academies of the five provinces, Commissioner Lu, who can do more work, will be handled by Commissioner Lu personally. I will be responsible for it.
What do you think about recruiting new soldiers?"
Lu Ming was startled. Hu Dingshan's proposal clearly meant that he was the leader in forming the new army and he was the auxiliary.
In particular, the officers and soldiers retained after the abolition of the garrison, as well as the student officers recruited from the military academies of the five provinces, will be the backbone of the New Army. They will be responsible for these. In other words, the entire framework of the New Army will be established by themselves.
His suggestion was obviously not a sudden thought, but the result of serious consideration, so he proposed it as soon as he got in the car.
"Commissioner Lu, please take good care of me in the future!" Hu Dingshan touched his bald head and said with a smile.
Lu Ming nodded. After he got involved, the New Army matter was quickly reviewed in the imperial capital. It seemed that Hu Dingshan was even more confused about his true and false status.
He has been ostracized by the Hu family recently, and is probably considering a retreat.
Of course, the Hu family are cunning and greedy, so we'd better wait and see.
…
The new army is stationed in the suburbs of Montenegro. The original military camp of the Montenegro Guard Corps has now been renamed and the camp is being expanded.
A total of three garrison regiments in the province were abolished. There were originally more than 8,000 officers and soldiers. It was rumored that one would be laid off every three, which meant that two-thirds of the personnel would be laid off. People were panicked for a while.
However, Commissioner Lu of the Inspectorate, who was responsible for eliminating redundant personnel, basically kept all the front-line soldiers. Many officers were eliminated, and almost all service personnel were eliminated. The front-line soldiers conducted a questionnaire survey, but not many personnel were eliminated. Despite this,
, the three guard regiments ended up with only more than 4,000 people left. It was rumored that there were many people on the roster who were free of charge, but in the end Commissioner Lu did not go into details and dismissed them all as redundant personnel.
Nie Shichao is a platoon leader. He graduated from the military academy and was a platoon leader when he first joined the army. Now he has been in the army for ten years and is still a platoon leader.
In the past few days, my comrades have been complaining. For several days in a row, they have to fill in various questionnaires every day, and it even feels like entering school and taking various exams.
This morning, there were finally no more questionnaires and exams, but it was announced that there would be a meeting in the afternoon, which would be chaired personally by Commissioner Lu Ming, chairman of the New Army Committee, and Hu Dingshan, deputy chairman.
Nie Shichao was also on the list of people summoned to attend the meeting, which made him extremely surprised. After all, he was not even an officer. The platoon leader had the lowest sense of presence. For big things, there is a company commander, for small things, there is a squad leader. Generally speaking, the platoon leader is
When an officer transitions to another position, who knows, his transition will take ten years.
Nie Shichao arrived at the auditorium of the military camp very early. Many officers came one after another. There were more than a hundred officers of all levels sitting in the audience. They were all wearing brand-new military uniforms and sitting upright. Nie Shichao did not recognize a few of them, but it was obvious that
, those beer-bellied officers are gone.
Someone took the lead, and there was loud applause in the auditorium.
On the rostrum, several people filed in and took their seats one after another.
"Well, let's introduce ourselves one by one. Many colleagues probably still can't tell who we are!" Standing on the stage was a young man wearing an olive green officer's uniform, with the rank of brigadier general, and golden stars shining on his shoulder straps.
Nie Shichao was surprised. This must be Commissioner Lu. Moreover, looking at the structure of the committee, it was obvious that the New Army Supervisory Commissioner had overtaken the military chief and became the de facto first officer.
In the past ten days, Commissioner Lu has been wandering around the military camp, meeting and talking to officers and soldiers at all levels. I have never seen him. I heard that he is young, but I never expected that he is so young.
Nie Shichao was so stunned that Commissioner Lu Ming did not hear what he introduced himself, but warm applause soon broke out in the auditorium, and Nie Shichao hurriedly followed suit.
Next, brigade commander Hu Dingshan, as well as staff members, logistics director, training director and other brigade commanders stood up and introduced themselves.
In the auditorium, bursts of applause sounded.
Hu Dingshan, who was sitting in the brigade, began to speak, talking about the significance of the founding of the New Army and other mandarin clichés.
Everyone in the audience felt drowsy after listening to it.
But when Hu Dingshan talked about the structure of the New Army, Nie Shichao suddenly became energetic and hurriedly took notes.
The Montenegrin Brigade has three conventional infantry regiments, three motorized infantry battalions directly under the brigade headquarters, two armored tank battalions, one reinforced artillery battalion, and three battalions, namely a communications battalion, an engineer battalion, and a repair battalion, as well as 6 directly under the brigade headquarters.
, police investigation company, automobile company, health company, training team, etc.
Nie Shichao's eyes were a little straight after hearing this. He was a mechanized warfare major in the military academy, but after coming to Montenegro, he had no use at all.
On the rostrum, Hu Dingshan finished talking about the structure of the New Army and said with a smile: "Actually, most of the composition of the New Army was determined by Commissioner Lu after listening to the opinions of military advisers, doing various surveys, and going to many military units in the south to learn from their experiences.
The new army has a new atmosphere, and we have to change the shotgun for the cannon." Then he smiled and said: "Next, we welcome Commissioner Lu to announce the appointment of the remaining personnel. The colleagues who can stay are all elites. I hope we can unite sincerely and will
Our Black Mountain Brigade has become a mighty and undefeated force!"
The audience burst into warm applause again. At the same time, everyone looked at Commissioner Lu Ming expectantly, wondering whether they would be promoted.
Nie Shichao took notes carefully with a pen. He could feel that Commissioner Lu didn't speak much, but the important orders seemed to come from him.
Commissioner Lu announced appointments for company-level cadres and above.
In fact, it is obvious that the regiment, deputy regiment, chief battalion, deputy battalion, etc. have already talked with the superiors, and most of them have a good idea.
For some company-level job vacancies, it is natural to recruit from military academies. However, for deputy battalion and above officers, rookies who have just graduated from military academies cannot fill the positions.
Therefore, most of the remaining officers have been promoted to varying degrees, and many of them are very happy.
In particular, many of them were originally depressed, but now they feel that they can flex their muscles.
"Nie Shichao, code 003487, is planned to be appointed as the commander of the second tank battalion directly under the brigade headquarters."
Commissioner Lu's words echoed in the auditorium. Nie Shichao didn't react at first, but suddenly he raised his head. The code was 003487. It was indeed him. Even if the name was heavy, the military code would not be wrong.
Tank battalion commander?
how come?
Nie Shichao looked around in shock, but no one noticed him. Only Commissioner Lu's voice continued to announce the candidates and positions to be appointed.
…
The moon was as cold as water, Lu Ming walked on the military camp playground, followed by the guard platoon leader Lei Bao.
As a brigadier general inspector, there is now a regular security platoon, and Lei Bao, Heifeng, Zhao and others have all been incorporated into it.
There were more than thirty people in the guard platoon, all equipped with long and short guns, ranging from short-range micro-charges to long-range automatic assault rifles. In addition, there were several snipers headed by classmate Zhao.
"You don't have to be by my side all the time." Lu Ming told Lei Bao.
While you are wandering around, the security platoon ensures that you are in the same city as you, so that you can quickly arrive when called.
Looking at the military camp under the bright moonlight, Lu Ming sighed deeply.
This busy work lasted for more than a month. How could it be so simple to dismantle and reorganize a new military unit?
Next, I will go to military academies in five provinces to select talents.
However, I need to go to the East China Sea to deal with some matters first.
If you go to school in Zhenjiang or something like that, you still have to arrange your schedule separately, as long as you don't get expelled.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head.
However, the preparation of this army is still acceptable, at least it is considered elite among the five provinces south of the Yangtze River.
The military technology of this world is quite different from that of previous lives because no world-class war has broken out in modern times.
For example, tanks and armored vehicles are at the level of World War I in the previous life, but individual weapons are similar to World War II.
Therefore, the structure of the New Army Infantry Brigade is considered very strong.
However, under today's technical conditions, the most important thing in fighting is people. As far as this new army is concerned, even a regiment-level military unit of three to four thousand people in the Northern Territory can be defeated by this new armed force.
After all, civil wars often break out in the Northern Territory, and the soldiers are all proud and brave soldiers who have been baptized by war.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming sighed, the road ahead was long, and the further he walked, the more difficult it became.
Huh? Lu Ming suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure over there, hesitating whether to come over or not.
Lu Ming looked intently, then smiled and waved to him, "Batalion Commander Nie Shichao, come here, I just want to talk to you!"
Over there, Nie Shichao walked over quickly. When he came near, he stood at attention and saluted, very energetic.
Lu Ming smiled and looked at Lei Bao and others around him.
Many times, I feel that I am struggling alone, but in fact, I am not. Along the way, I will always meet close friends.
