After Li Mu led a large number of architects and designers back to Nanyang, he established a construction company. Of course, it was not called a construction company at this time, but a construction factory.
It is specifically responsible for the site selection, design and construction of school buildings. At the same time, it has integrated the engineering teams of military camps and docks, and all of them have been assigned to this newly established construction factory, which is fully responsible for various construction projects under Li Mu's jurisdiction.
At this time, the reorganization of the army was basically completed. Regardless of the military quality, it looked presentable and had a bit of a military temperament.
During this period, more than a dozen instructors were poached through Muwu Trading Company, and there happened to be two cavalry instructors among them. The war horses were also bought by others, and the cavalry company was finally established.
Dozens of medical personnel have also been hired with high salaries, and the structure of the health company has been set up. The seven companies directly under the regiment have basically been set up.
After a long period of communication with dozens of instructors, Li Mu combined with real-world military training experience and some military textbooks he had read.
A preliminary soldier training manual was compiled.
It has the characteristics of the current army and the experience of future armies.
Of course, the content of the training manual is not profound. Most of it is how to train soldiers' individual qualities and teamwork. As for how to march and how to fight, Li Mu doesn't understand it, and it's naturally not in the manual.
However, even so, the various training methods in the booklet are eye-opening. As long as you follow the requirements in the booklet and complete individual training and teamwork training, you will truly be an elite soldier in this era.
This is quite difficult to say, but it is not difficult for Li Mu. After all, he worked as a policeman for five years in the last world. He often went to the police academy for further training and participated in various trainings and exercises. Among other things, he used the training methods of the armed police.
Door clear.
After straightening out the affairs of the army, Li Mu began to consider another matter, the issue of name. After all, the security group was just a local civilian armed force. This was a good thing and a bad thing.
It's a good thing because they belong to the local civilian armed forces, and their biggest task is to protect the country and the people. They don't have a formal number or organization, and they don't get paid or receive royal food.
Naturally, there is no need to accept the bald man's dispatch to fight everywhere. At most, he can only help with defense sometimes.
The disadvantage is that the title of the security group also limits development. For example, if military instructors are not recruited in the name of the security group, but there is a high-ranking name and the high-tech offered by him, more instructors can be recruited.
The same is true for recruiting other talents. The name of the security team is both protection and restriction.
Li Mu thought about this for a long time. He neither wanted to lose the local armed nature of the security corps and become a regular army, but also did not want to be dragged into the battlefield as cannon fodder before the provinces were fully developed; nor did he want to be restricted by the framework of the security corps.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mu felt that there was a suitable name: Local Security Command.
They are also local armed forces, but compared to the security corps, the local security headquarters sounds much better and is much taller.
Although it is a military unit, it is not a regular military unit and does not have a designation. It still belongs to the local armed forces.
In future wars, although there is a certain obligation to send troops, the main task is still to protect the country and the people. If the troops are sent, they will not be regarded as regular military. At most, they will be on the periphery to help with defense and check for leaks and fill gaps.
Moreover, it is actually not difficult to get this position.
The Republic of China! It was originally a time of warlord chaos. Although it was unified in name, there were still warlords everywhere.
Many of the so-called regular armies are small warlords from the past. They were given a number and name by the higher authorities, and then they were unified.
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the principal originally wanted to deal with these accumulated abuses, and indeed achieved considerable results. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, these actions had to be stopped, and the focus was on win-over and appeasement.
Generally speaking, as long as you have soldiers and strength, as long as you don't go against the grain in name, everyone, big or small, will give you a name to win over and appease you.
Li Mu's security group is currently definitely the most powerful armed force in the Nanyang area. Under this premise, as long as they are willing to spend money to manage it, there is no problem in having a name.
Li Mu happens to be not short of money.
After staying in Nanyang for another two days, I came to Wuhan again and started looking for people to make connections through Muwu Trading Company.
After arranging this matter, the acquisition target of bristle and tung oil was also completed, especially tung oil. In the past two or three months, he had acquired a large part of the unsalable tung oil that had been hoarded in the country.
When I came to Singapore again, I sold bristle and tung oil, and I had an extra US$4.8 million in my hand.
It looked like a lot, but it was actually mainly due to tung oil. It was slow to sell domestically and was scarce abroad, which caused the price to soar. In addition, there were so many supplies domestically, so he took a look at the opportunity.
However, with the domestic supply, it will be impossible to collect such large quantities of bristle and tung oil in a short period of time.
In the next period of time, Li Mu, with the assistance of Far East Commercial Bank, began to purchase various materials. After spending three million US dollars, Li Mu's 60,000 cubic meters of system space was finally filled.
Before leaving, Li Mu had a detailed chat with Su Ming, the head of Far East Commercial Bank, and discussed the next development issues.
As the situation develops and some ideas change, Li Mu feels that he should pay more attention to the development of Far East Commercial Bank. In the future, Far East Commercial Bank will be very important to him and his layout.
Leaving 300,000 US dollars in the account of Far East Commercial Bank, Li Mu and Su Ming worked together to find a group of middle and senior managers, some from the mainland, some local Chinese, some local aboriginals, and some blond and blue-eyed British and Americans.
According to the plan, the Far East Commercial Bank will set up offices and branches in North America, South America, and Australia, places that have not been affected by the war and are rich in resources, to facilitate the procurement of various raw materials and supplies.
On the other hand, offices and branches in Europe must also be established. Although there will be war there in two years, at least there will still be two years of peace, which will facilitate the procurement of various weapons, machines, and production lines.
After arranging things here properly, Li Mu returned to the country again.
It just so happened that the good news came from Muwu Trading Company that the matter was settled, even if they threw in 300,000 French currency, which is equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan.
But to Li Mu, this little money really doesn't matter, the name is the most important.
With this name, many things will be easier to handle.
After staying in Wuhan for two days, Li Mu left half of the goods in the space for purchase, and then Li Mu returned to Nanyang by motorboat.
Before he arrived, he saw from a distance a group of subordinates on the pier welcoming him with joy.
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "It's just a name for the outside world. It was how it was before and how it is now. You can't be arrogant and make people laugh."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes, group seat!"
Li Mu got off the motorboat.
"Let's go, stop standing and go back."
A group of people surrounded Li Mu and walked back.
Knowing that Li Mu was back, the banquet had been prepared long ago. We exchanged glasses and had another good celebration.
Early the next morning, Li Mu called all his officers for a meeting.
Seeing that there was still a bit of joy on everyone's faces, Li Mu glanced around and said: "Okay, the nominal problem has been solved, and the celebrations have been celebrated. This matter ends here, and business cannot be delayed."
Everyone looked solemn and said, "Yes, group seat."
Li Muchao: "Now, since we have this name, our scope of activities is not just limited to a few nearby counties, but extends to the entire region."
"As the security force in Nanyang, we also have the obligation to protect the environment and the people, and maintain regional peace and stability."
After speaking, Li Mu paused and asked, "Does anyone know what the current population is in our Nanyang area?"
A young officer stood up and said: "Commander, I read statistics in one of our local newspapers last year. The population of our Nanyang area was around 5.1 million last year."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Very good, take a seat! Our Nanyang area has always had fertile land and a large population. Henan Province is a province with a large population. Our Nanyang population ranks first in the province all year round. It is a rare treasure."
"Next, in such a large place with such a large population, their safety will be in our hands."
Everyone puffed up their chests.
Li Mu continued: "The Nanyang area has always been mountainous and full of bandits, and the banditry problem is very serious. It is only in the nearby counties that we are in charge, so the situation will be better."
"You guys have been reorganizing and training for a period of time. If you want to train your troops, it won't work without some blood. It's time to take action. Is it a mule or a horse? Let's take a walk."
Everyone was gearing up immediately. After training for such a long time and having such good weapons in hand, everyone's hands were already itchy.
"Commander, you give the order, we will attack wherever you point us."
"Tuanzuo, which one do you want to use for surgery?"
"Tuanzuo, look at it. There are no bandits in Nanyang. Let's make sure that none of them can escape."
Li Mu nodded and signaled, and Liu Peiming next to him picked up a document and stood up.
"Everyone, I have an official record here, which is about the relatively large banditry in our area in recent years. Let me read it to you."
"In the twelfth year of the Republic of China, a bandit organization composed of more than 100 people broke into Nanwang Village, killing 18 people, kidnapping more than 30 people, and burning down more than 100 houses! Two months later, another bandit organization composed of more than 100 people broke through
In Shiqiao Town, they burned, killed, and looted in more than ten villages and towns, kidnapped more than 200 people, and burned down nearly a hundred houses!"
…
"In 1929, the bandit leader Wang Tai broke into a credit store and occupied the credit store for 18 days. After burning, killing and looting, he took away more than 1,000 "meat tickets"... In 1931, the bandits Cui Erdan and Wei Guozhu led more than 1,000 bandits to break through the North Pass of Nanyang City.
, in five days, they burned, killed, looted, destroyed houses at will, and kidnapped more than 900 people for meat!"
…
"It wasn't until our security group was established that the banditry in several nearby counties became less severe. However, as far as the entire Nanyang area is concerned, the situation is still quite serious."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Liu Peiming read out the bandit troubles one by one. They didn't expect that the Nanyang area had experienced so many bandit troubles.
These are just the ones that have been recorded. Small-scale banditry, such as robbing homes, killing people and stealing goods, are countless.
They all turned to look at Li Mu: "Tuanzuo, please give the order!"
"Tanzuo, tell me what to do!"
"Commander, please issue combat orders and ensure a clean sweep."
Li Muchong signaled to Liu Peiming: "You led people to collect the situation. Let me tell everyone."
Liu Peiming saluted: "Yes, group seat!"
"Everyone, more than a month ago, the regimental leader ordered me to take some brothers to investigate the bandits that are entrenched in various places. Now I will introduce the situation."
"There are dozens of gangs of bandits in our entire Nanyang area, and most of them are small in size, ranging from a dozen to dozens to hundreds."
"Among them, four groups of bandits are relatively powerful."
"One is the group headed by Yang Xikui, the main force in northwest Nanyang, with more than 700 people under his command!"
"Secondly, in the northeast of Nanyang, Song Wanlin's group has about 1,000 people; Zhang Laowen's group has about 2,000 people; and there are several other factions, with about 400 people! These people are all related to each other.
They collude with each other and can be regarded as a group, which is also the largest group of bandits in Nanyang area."
"Third, between Nanyang and Dengzhou, there are about 1,000 bandits led by Chen Simai and his gang."
"Fourth, Lao Wangtai's group. This group of gangsters has no fixed address and has been wandering around for a long time. The number of gangsters is sometimes small and sometimes large. Sometimes there are hundreds of people, and sometimes there are thousands of people. They often commit crimes, and they are more active now.
A group of people."
After Liu Peiming's introduction, Li Mu glanced around and said, "Okay, now let's issue combat missions."
Everyone was shocked and immediately sat upright.
Li Mu said: "First battalion, wipe out a group of bandits headed by Yang Xikui."
The first battalion commander stood up and saluted: "Yes, regimental seat!"
Li Mu said: "The second battalion and the third battalion will clear out the gangsters in the northeast of Nanyang, led by Song Wanlin and Zhang Laowen. This is also the largest group of gangsters in the Nanyang area. I leave it to you."
The second and third battalion commanders stood up and saluted: "Yes, regimental seat!"
Li Mu continued: "The fourth camp, the bandits led by Chen Simai and his gang will be left to you."
The fourth battalion commander stood up and saluted: "Yes, regimental seat!"
Li Mu looked at the fifth battalion commander: "Fifth battalion, Lao Wang Tai and this group of gangsters are left to you."
The fifth battalion commander stood up and saluted: "Yes, regimental seat!"
Li Mu stood up and looked at the crowd and said, "Also, the regiment is directly under the Seventh Company, except for the guard company and correspondents who stay at the regiment headquarters."
"The cavalry company, machine gun company, sanitation company, engineer company, and reconnaissance company will all send some personnel to join your respective bandit suppression teams according to the situation."
"Okay, let's all go back and make preparations. We'll set off tomorrow and try to wipe out all the banditry in Nanyang in one fell swoop."
Everyone brushed their heads and stood up and said: "Yes, Tuan Zuo, I promise to put an end to the banditry in Nanyang."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked out of the conference room. A room full of officers also walked out, preparing for war and preparing to set off.
