King of Secret Service

"You?" Liang Dong questioned his financial resources.

"If you can build an identical Mauser 98 rifle within a month, I will help you build an arsenal dedicated to improving weapons and producing them." Liang Xiao laughed.

"Third brother, you can't joke about this kind of thing." Liang Dong 187 had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Second brother, do you think I look like I'm joking?" Liang Xiao spread his hands.

Liang Dong believes that the way to save the country lies in a strong army. As long as the army is strong, the coastal defense will be peaceful, and the neighbors will not dare to spy on it. To build a strong army, you must have sophisticated weapons.

He also had the idea of ​​​​opening an arsenal, but the funds were not abundant, and it has been delayed until now.

"Are you really not joking?" Liang Dong asked seriously.

"No, I have already considered setting up an arsenal. Moreover, I have sufficient funds, and I am fully capable of running an arsenal larger than the Northeast Arsenal." Liang Xiao had 5 taels of gold and the funds of the Liangjiang Chamber of Commerce annexed, Funds are abundant.

"Great, if our old man can think like you, the arsenal will be established long ago." Liang Dong laughed heartily.

"The old man is a businessman. What he considers are benefits and risks. I am a soldier, and what I consider is the combat effectiveness of the army. Only a well-equipped army can show the prestige of a great country on the battlefield." Liang Xiao smiled lightly.

"Third brother, the heroes have the same views. I proposed a long time ago that to make the country rich, we must first strengthen the military, and to strengthen the military, we need to build arsenals. As long as we manufacture first-class weapons and shells, we can defend our country and protect our compatriots. Don't let the land be lost, don't let the compatriots become slaves." Liang Dong said loudly. .

Chapter 103 Expansion and Reorganization of the Army

On the same day, Liang Xiao listened to Liang Dong's ideas on weapon research. It is undeniable that some of his ideas for weapons are far beyond the current level of weapons.

Even Liang Dong proposed the research and development of fighter jets.

The two talked for a long time.

It was not until midnight that Liang Xiao came out of the weapon workshop.

I thought that weapons experts in this era lacked research vision, but Liang Dong gave him a surprise. Some of the excellent weapons he proposed were already close to the weapons and equipment of the 80s.

Of course, to develop all these sophisticated weapons not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but also takes a certain amount of time.

And what he lacks most now is time.

Coming out of the weapons workshop, Liang Xiao drove directly to Fengqiao Town by car. This time, he settled the matter of the pharmaceutical factory, which was considered to have solved a difficult problem. Production of Yunnan Baiyao.

Looking at the battle, anti-infective special drugs are the most scarce drugs on the market, and there will be a lot of gold in the account, and I am afraid that there will be no money to build an arsenal.

His current task is to complete the expansion of the troops, personally train the troops, and turn them into a powerful special forces unit.

It takes two hours from Suzhou to Fengqiao Town.

When he came to Fengqiao Town, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

The vanguard of the Special Operations Battalion had already arrived in Fengqiao Town and lived in the courtyard of the security brigade in the town.

Under the arrangement of the company commander Sun Bing, Liang Xiao lived in the team headquarters of the security brigade.

The next morning.

Sun Bing came in with a man in police clothes.

"Tuan Zuo, this is Xia Liangjun, Captain of the Fengqiao Town Security Brigade." Sun Bing introduced.

"Good morning, my humble colleague Xia Liangjun is here to report." Xia Liangjun saluted a standard military salute.

Liang Xiao took a look at Xia Liangjun. He looked about 30 years old, with a burly figure and neat clothes, which was very different from the general security captain.

"Where are you from‖?"

"Humble job is from Peiping." Xia Liangjun replied.

"Why did people from Peiping come to Jiangsu?" Liang Xiao asked.

"Before, I served as the deputy battalion commander in the 29th Army. After September [-], the unit where I belonged was incorporated into the Central Army. Shangfeng looked down on us miscellaneous troops, so he messed us up and mixed us up. I was assigned to the security regiment of the Hangzhou Security Department. As the deputy of the regiment, he was transferred to Fengqiao Town last year as the captain of the security team, responsible for patrolling the coastline of Ninghu." Xia Liangjun replied.

Liang Xiao nodded in praise: "The 29th Army became famous in the first battle at Xifengkou, defended the country against foreign aggression, and worked hard."

"Thank you for your compliment." Xia Liangjun stood at attention and replied.

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully sized Xia Liangjun a few times. This person has a soldier's demeanor.

"How many people are there in the security brigade?"

"840 eight people."

"Except for those below the age of 40, how many people are left?"

Xia Liangjun thought for a moment and replied, "There are about four to five hundred people."

"Pass my order, all those below the security brigade and over 40 years old will be sent back to their hometowns, and the special operations group will pay for the dismissal fee, and all the rest will be incorporated into the headquarters." Liang Xiao ordered.

"Yes." Xia Liangjun obeyed the order, and then asked: "Teacher, when paying severance pay, can you give priority to taking care of the disabled. They were all injured in fighting pirates, and they have made meritorious service for the country."

"I will leave this matter to you to arrange, and all the expenses will be paid by the special operations group." Liang Xiao entrusted this matter to Xia Liangjun who had just met, which was undoubtedly a kind of trust in him.

"The humble staff will handle this matter well," Xia Liangjun said.

"The humble staff will handle this matter well," Xia Liangjun said.

Liang Xiao nodded and asked him some trivial matters before letting him leave.

"Sun Bing, keep a close eye on him." Liang Xiao said to his old subordinate Sun Bing.

"Yes, I will send someone to watch him." Sun Bing understood the meaning of Tuan Zuo.

Liang Xiao waved him out.

Subsequently, he began to be busy with the reorganization of the Special Operations Regiment.

According to the order of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, the Special Operations Regiment belongs to the Type A regiment of the three-battalion system, with a staff of about 800 people, divided into three battalions, the regiment headquarters guard company, and the communication company.

The special warfare battalion originally had 500 troops, plus the 1000 people left by the security brigade, it was just enough to make up 800 people, and there were still [-] people left.

He immediately sent electricity to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, explaining the problem of insufficient military resources.

The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs called back and asked the Special Forces to recruit troops near the station.

In other words, the Military and Political Department does not care about the source of troops.

Even if Liang Xiao's special operations group can't recruit people, it has nothing to do with them, but the military salary allocated is based on the regiment level of 800 people.

After Liang Xiao received the telegram, a smile appeared on his handsome face. The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs asked him to recruit soldiers by himself, which was considered an excuse for him to recruit troops.

He immediately arranged for Sun Bing to lead people to post recruitment notices.

According to the new military pay system issued by the national government, an ordinary soldier can get seven legal currency in one month.

According to the current prices, seven French coins can't even cover food and clothing, let alone support a family.

He thought about it and added three more French coins to the original basis, that is to say, he recruited troops at the price of ten French coins per month, and the extra three French coins would be paid in advance by himself.

Of course, he also has requirements for soldiers, who must be above the age of 35, and those with mental illness, disabilities, special hobbies, etc. will not be recruited.

In addition, those who have served in the army before re-enlistment, the military salary in January is 12 yuan in French currency.

After the second and third companies of the special warfare battalion were rebuilt, Liang Xiao asked Qi Ming and Zhou Xian to take people to Shaoxing, Changde and other places to recruit troops.

Liang Xiao also appointed adjutant Li Huan as an instructor to train more than 200 water bandits captured from Taihu Lake.

Li Huan is a member of the rivers and lakes, and he can train these water bandits as soon as possible, and they will be organized together (Li's) into the special warfare group.

Liang Xiao also selected 120 elite soldiers from the special warfare battalion to form a regiment headquarters guard company, which he personally drilled, and appointed Li Huan as the commander of the guard company.

a few days later.

Sun Bing, Cao Xian, Qi Ming and others who recruited soldiers came back one after another.

Sun Bing recruited more than 400 people in Fengqiao Town.

Cao Xian recruited more than 600 people in the Changde area.

Qi Ming recruited more than 800 people in Shaoxing.

The three recruited nearly [-] soldiers in total.

They were able to recruit so many soldiers when they went out because the recruiting salary offered by Liang Xiao was attractive enough.

Now Liang Xiao was worried again, the Special Operations Regiment only had 800 people, but now it has [-] troops.

He discussed with Sun Bing and others.

It was decided to reduce the establishment. The first battalion had 800 people, and the extra soldiers formed a communication company, a mortar company, and a company directly under the regiment headquarters. .

Chapter 104

With soldiers, weapons and ammunition became a problem again.

The Nanjing government only issued weapons and ammunition for 800 people, and he had to deal with the excess weapons and ammunition for 200 people.

After much deliberation, he decided to contact his instructor in Dé country and spend a lot of money to buy two battalions of German equipment, including 92 infantry guns.

After he sent a telegram to the trainer in Germany, the other party replied that the purchased equipment would arrive in Shanghai within one month, and he was ready to receive it.

His instructor when he was training in dé country was an arms dealer who specialized in arms sales.

Moreover, his price is more reasonable.

After discussing with the dé country, he decided to set up the framework for forming a special operations group.

Sun Bing is a battalion commander with 800 people under his command.

Qi Ming is the commander of the second battalion, with 800 people under his command.

Cao Xian is the commander of the third battalion, with 800 people under his command.

The appointment of the rest of the officers of the three full-staffed battalions had to be personally selected and reviewed by Liang Xiao.

The regiment officers of the Special Operations Regiment are: Tuan Zuo, Liang Xiao, Chief of Staff, Zhou Shiji.

Li Huan is the commander of the security company, and Wang Chongdao is the commander of the communications company.

With regard to the appointment of Xia Liangjun, the former security captain, Liang Xiao decided to appoint him as the deputy of the first battalion after careful consideration, and concurrently as the company commander directly under the regiment headquarters. 940

After the framework of the Special Operations Group is finalized, it will be reported to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs immediately.

Next, is the training of recruits.

Due to the expansion of the Special War Battalion, Liang Xiao had no choice but to abandon the previous training outline and re-draft the training outline.

In this expansion, recruits and veterans are mixed, and they can only be trained uniformly.

His new recruit training syllabus is divided into three stages.

[-]. Physical training stage.

Second, the tactical training phase.

[-]. The stage of military theory and practical training.

The first month, physical training.

Soldiers get up at 5 o'clock every morning, have breakfast for 08 minutes, conduct a five-kilometer cross-country training from 30:08 to 30:[-], do push-ups and sit-ups from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and queue up from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] Training, from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], pair training, free fighting.

[-]:[-] to [-]: Lunch and lunch break.

One to four o'clock: high-intensity weight training, and climbing training.

Four to five: Honors class.

[-]:[-]-[-]:[-]pm: Afternoon lunch.

07:30 to [-]:[-]: Literacy class.

In Liang Xiao's view, the bushido spirit of militarism is not wrong (beef). As a soldier, one should have the spirit of dying in battle.

So he created an honors class.

It mainly strengthens the thinking of soldiers and teaches them to be proud of dying on the battlefield and being proud of being ahead of the charge.

Literacy class. Most people in this era are illiterate. He does not allow soldiers of special operations forces to be illiterate, which is not conducive to performing tasks alone.

That's it for the first phase of training.

All officers and soldiers of the regiment train together, and no one is allowed to specialize, including him.

Of course, except Mili Ozawa and Tang Menghan.
