Chapter 154 Veterans Plan
It turned out that Liu Lang divided the disabled veterans into three categories.
One type is those who are slightly unable to work, with healthy lower limbs and able to walk normally and take care of themselves. Such veterans will be left at the base and enjoy normal soldiers according to their original ranks. They will serve as chief and deputy instructors of various military projects in the recruit battalion.
Why not select healthy veterans to serve as instructors? Liu Lang's reason is very simple. Only by wandering through the brink of life and death can the soldiers understand the value of life better. Although they can no longer fight the gun to the battlefield due to physical incompleteness, they know better how to tell the new recruits how to save themselves in the moment of life and death. At this point, those normal veterans are inferior to them.
There is also a type of severely disabled soldiers who are damaged by lower limbs or even upper limbs. Although there are not many such veterans, there are still more than a dozen. Liu Lang also left them at the base. But it is not in vain. They will serve as the custodian supervisors of various equipment, equipment, and logistics warehouses. Their role is to supervise, and they only need to have a fairly clear mind. The treatment they have is the same as that of veterans who serve as instructors.
The veterans located between the two were taken to various administrative natural villages in Andongcheng by Liu Lang in two to three people in one group, becoming formal residents of Andongcheng. The independent regiment came forward to purchase land in the local area and allocated them. At the same time, Liu Lang signed an order under the name of the bandit prevention needs of the Andongcheng area. Each village must send 30 strong men to form a village guard, organize various military training during the slack season, and issue certain firearms and equipment and subsidies.
These veterans distributed in various villages naturally became leaders and instructors of the village guards. Because Liu Lang's plan was clear in that the firearms used for training and the training allowances issued during the training were controlled by these veterans, with guns and money in their hands, and there was also the boss of the independent regiment, Liu Lang, who was the original village tyrant and the patriarchs who were the same in the village, had to avoid the attacks for the time being.
In other words, once Liu Lang was released, he mastered 200 villages of all sizes in Andongcheng. This is not the most terrifying thing. What is terrifying is that based on the amount of 30 guards in each village, militias that have been trained in semi-regular militarized can form a regular army of more than 6,000 people at any time. In this era, farmers who train for only one week can shoot no more than five bullets in a week, not to mention those village guards in Liu Lang planned that there will be at least four months of military training every year.
Moreover, the more than 400 veterans released were not in vain. In addition to being able to allocate land, they can also receive special allowances of five cash silver coins every month.
If the previous recruit training plan has opened the eyes and breathed Lin Li and others, this plan to resettle the disabled veteran is perfect. Not only does every disabled veteran have an income that is no less than others, but it is also obtained through his own labor, ensuring a normal life while maintaining his dignity as a soldier.
At the same time, Liu Lang also used this to prove that his promise to the soldiers was by no means empty talk. He would not abandon every seriously injured soldier. Not only did he enjoy the due subsidies for disabled soldiers, but the base of the Independent Regiment headquarters will also arrange corresponding work to receive compensation. Looking at the military factories, steel mills, garment factories mentioned in Liu Lang's plan, and military bases that will be built in the next few years, no one doubted that Liu Lang would not arrange so many people in the future.
What's even more terrifying is that after doing this, Liu Lang gained control of the portal of Anton City. Any movement in Anton City could not escape his sight, and he also obtained a reserve source of more than 6,000 soldiers. Even if more than 1,000 independent regiments were exhausted, as long as the skeleton was still there, he could pull up four independent regiments at a faster speed, and he could still immediately enter the battle.
After solving the worries of the independent group, it can also gain absolute control of the entire Anton City. This is undoubtedly a genius plan.
Ordinary soldiers could not imagine so many commanders, but what they saw was a real benefit. They no longer had to worry about the consequences of being disabled after joining the army and fighting. The fat commander of theirs has proved with practical actions that he would not abandon his soldiers.
The disabled veterans who followed the Independent Group to Anton City were naturally moved and burst into tears. They were lost for a long time and worried for a long time. They didn't know how this new commander who coexisted with kindness and harshness would be able to settle them. Perhaps the best result was to leave them in the Independent Group to live a life of scattered food and wait for death, and be raised like a useless person.
But now, they can even stand up and prove that they were once a warrior and lived on their own.
Life is not just about the mediocrity in front of you. Perhaps it is too literary and artistic to say that not many people can understand it, but humans who have already met their belly needs often start to pay attention to the oil on their faces, whether they are a peddler or a foolish wife.
The two plans were announced, and the Independent Group officially entered a period of rapid development.
The 1,700 recruits, including Liu Lang's orderly Sanchuan, and the still-spoken cook Gou Defu and Mo Xiaomao, all the independent regiments who had not experienced the battlefield, entered the recruit training camp.
Liu Lang served as the chief instructor of the training camp, Lin Li and Chi Dakui served as deputy. 170 of the 500 veterans were selected as the squad leader of the recruits. Their task was to supervise and record the recruits. At the same time, apart from some unnecessary subjects, such as shooting, bayonet construction, and other military training projects, they will also participate in training with the recruits.
According to the rules, 1,700 new recruits and 170 veterans were divided into 10 new recruit companies. The Lieutenant Xiang Qian, who had previously led 700 disabled veterans, and the other nine lieutenants who performed the best during this period were assigned to the company commanders of the new recruits. In addition to Zhao Ergou, who has basically been recognized as the company commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment, it turned out that three of the remaining five soldiers who followed Liu Lang were selected. Although they were only a big-headed soldier, the performance of Liu Dazhu and the other three in these days, whether it was the 150-mile marching, the six-day devil training, and the restraining of his soldiers, their selection was beyond reproach.
Although they are just temporary recruit company commanders, almost everyone knows that as long as they don’t make big mistakes, these ten people will be promoted to the board. It is even very likely that they will be the company commanders of the future independent regiment.
The remaining officers and veterans were not idle either. While completing the military training arranged by Liu Lang, they had to complete a military mission assigned to them by Liu Lang on the opposite mountain, a noun that they had never heard of - building a reverse slope tunnel.
It doesn't matter if they don't understand. Anyway, they have to learn to repair fortifications. No one has any complaints. The veterans who have experienced a great war know that without good fortifications, when enemy shells come, no matter how powerful the warrior is, they can only turn into scum.
Liu Lang and the two future battalion-level military chiefs of the Independent Regiment, Lin Li and Chi Dakui, are all focused on the recruits. Liang Wenzhong is naturally the one who can lead the remaining veterans.
Liang Wenzhong was confused. According to what Liu Lang painted for him in the picture, he blocked the enemy on the mountain, but wanted to build a tunnel on the mountainside on the back of the mountain. What tactical needs is this?
Liu Lang laughed, but didn't explain much, let them think about it themselves, and told them that they would use the tunnel in the military exercise of recruits three months later.
Seeing that he could not obtain valuable clues, Liang Wenzhong had to take the order and leave.
