The Cordoba City Guard was formerly the Cordoba Militia Guard of the Viceroyalty of La Plata. It can be regarded as an army with a "glorious tradition".
Since Cordoba became the third largest city in the Argentine Republic, the Militia Guard was formed and upgraded to the City Guard.
The essence of the city guard is still a militia guard, not a first-level combat unit. The military equipment only has some ordinary firearms and equipment, a few military vehicles, and not even mortars. Most of the ordnance is eliminated by other units, and occasionally there are new models. The number of weapons is far from enough.
If I had to make a comparison with Saint Jose, his battles were equivalent to those of the urban management brigades of later generations. However, this army was still very powerful. It ranked first among the local troops and could even be obtained from the province of Cordoba. I have some funds other than military expenditure, so my life is okay.
The city guard station was originally set up in a military camp on the outskirts of the city. Starting in the 1930s, the entire country's military government and civilian government alternated in power, and the status of the military was greatly improved.
This also gave the city guards an excuse to intervene in the city's affairs, and even had independent powers, such as organizing and recruiting soldiers on their own. This was a huge hidden danger. This was how Saint Jose was recruited.
The commander of the city guard sometimes seized power and became the city's top official. His power far exceeded that of the mayor and the council. Later, he simply set up a headquarters next to the city hall, dividing the world.
The responsibilities of the city guard headquarters have also become quite confusing. At most, they have administrative power, law enforcement power, and military power. In addition to not being able to make judicial legislation, they have almost become the first-level administrative agency of the city of Cordoba, substituting the official agencies. A run on the city deprived the mayor of the city.
Cordoba's economy has also become increasingly depressed due to repeated policy changes by the government, with population loss, industry loss, and a vicious cycle. Outsiders are also reluctant to come here to develop, except for the local Gauchos and some new ethnic groups from abroad. People of Chinese descent would come here to look for opportunities.
As the captain of the soldier team, Saint Jose worked in the military camp most of the time. He said it was office work, but in fact, he used to lie there and sleep most of the time, occasionally keeping an eye on the team's situation.
The size of the city guard is not large, and the number of people increases the size of the regiment. Most of the soldiers at the bottom are compulsory soldiers with a mixed composition. They mainly come from the province and nearby border provinces. The combat effectiveness of the army is not strong, and local forces have also penetrated.
There are many people who are just waiting to die and serve for a long time. Due to the overall environment, some new soldiers have also become bastards.
In fact, generally speaking, the treatment of soldiers is pretty good, and they don’t have to fight or anything. Most people with low education levels become soldiers.
There are even those who were brought in like the Gauchos, who are low-level soldiers and basically have no promotion. Like Saint Jose, it is the end of the journey to become a captain.
Officers are very different. Most of them can be appointed directly after graduating from the Argentine Military Academy. Military civilians come from civilian majors in ordinary universities and military schools. They can enter through a simple examination and are promoted quickly.
The team leader is considered to be the lowest-level officer contract establishment. It belongs to the outer layer of the military establishment. Of course, it can also be said that it is not an establishment. The appointment does not even require too many inspections and does not require graduation from a military school. You can become a conscript.
According to the current Argentine military law, ordinary soldiers can serve up to the age of 35. Because the Gauchos have a lower status, they can also make troubles. There have even been incidents of white officers suppressing and abusing the Gauchos, leading to bloody conflicts, which has led to reforms in the military leadership. Restructure, appease.
Later, most Gauchos also had the right to become junior officers - captain positions, but the status was still the lowest, and their development was still restricted.
St. Hesse's age is surprising. He is almost the youngest squad leader in the city guard. However, he plans to serve until the end of this year and then go to college.
Now ordinary soldiers can join the army at the age of 16 and usually serve for two years. The first-level combat soldier is 20 years old and will be changed to 18 years old in a few years.
At that time, Saint Jose can designate a Gaucho to succeed him, and if approved by his superiors, he can be elected as captain and responsible for the management of a small team.
This time Saint Jose planned to train these team members. After all, they have been a little lazy recently, doing nothing, and getting into fights, etc., which made Saint Jose feel a little uncomfortable.
This is also the basic responsibility of the captain. Saint Jose put on his military uniform and took a car to the camp.
There were not many people guarding the camp, and there were even women coming in and out. The team leaders were still drinking in broad daylight.
Arriving in front of the barracks, there were patrols in twos and threes, bragging, and being quite lazy. No wonder they couldn't defeat England thirty years later.
In terms of temperament alone, this is a bunch of strawberry soldiers with a feudal atmosphere. Saint Hesse once briefly studied those Middle Eastern countries, which are at most equivalent to the level of Saudi Arabia.
Even if they have advanced weapons and technical equipment, their combat effectiveness is not as good as those of the jungle guerrillas.
The Vietnamese guerrillas are pretty good. They were taught by China step by step. Now it’s time for the team to train.
In fact, Saint Jose had never managed a team of fifty people in his previous life. His greatest management experience was probably being the QQ group leader, and he was an out-and-out keyboard powerhouse.
Now we can accumulate more experience. Although the cannery has more than 100 people and its scale has expanded, it is still a little different from these soldiers. To sum up, there are a lot of gangsters.
Saint-Jesse sounded the emergency assembly order, and it took ten minutes for someone to arrive at the training ground. Today happened to be a defense change day, and Saint-Jesse chose this day to conduct some training work.
People are arriving one after another. A team with a full strength of fifty people only has forty-seven people. Two people are still sleeping. Aragorn has already gone to call for people. It is equivalent to the establishment of five squads, and one strengthens the platoon. .
The City Guards are still very chaotic. Although they are called an army, they are actually full of 6,000 people, but there are only 5,000 people. I don’t know if logistics and literary workers are included.
The size is equivalent to a reinforced regiment. It is the largest local force except the Buenos Aires City Guard. It consists of three small infantry regiments, each with a full strength of 2,000 people. The San Jose team belongs to the third regiment. The fifth team of the second company.
The establishment can be said to be relatively chaotic, there is no war baptism, and there is no daily training, let alone military exercises.
Looking at these crooked soldiers, they are all tall, short, fat and thin, their military caps are unevenly worn, and some have two buttons missing, all kinds of strange things.
This kind of army is not as good as military training. It is too weak. I feel that a security team can kill these guys.
It seems like there are too many complaints. I don’t know why I was thinking about this all morning. It suddenly occurred to me that we might have a basic military exercise with the Commander. It just so happened that we didn’t contact him after dinner last time. Now we can advance it. A wave of training.
"All of you, look forward and stand at attention." Saint Jose increased his voice and began to lecture,
"take a break"
"After receiving orders from superiors, in half a month, in order to show the style of our city guards, our city guards will hold military exercises. This time I will order five deputy captains, each with ten people, to conduct military training." Sheng He Sai cleared his throat and said.
"Aragon, Best, Cruz, Lombetta, New Pius, five of them come out", Saint Jose shouted
"The five of you are now appointed as temporary vice-captains by me. If you perform well this time, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to captains like me," he shouted loudly.
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"Yes, obey orders"
These five people were not energetic at first, but after hearing clearly, they stood up straight in an instant.
"Okay, everyone is here. Today we will train for a ten-kilometer run. It will take one hour. No food is allowed until the run is finished." Saint Jose did not make it too difficult for them. He set a normal goal and then arranged the training plan for the afternoon. He stared at these The soldiers conduct training, and the men in other military camps look at the squad like idiots.
In order to motivate these guys, Sanjesé didn't just stare, he easily ran in front of these guys, he also exercised, and even became much more relaxed. This physical fitness is not a guarantee, no wonder he can become the squad leader.
Seeing that the captain was also training together, these soldiers gritted their teeth and persisted. The Gauchos were still quite hardworking, and the other mixed white soldiers did not slack off in the overall environment.
Saint Jose is quite satisfied.
In the afternoon, there were traditional training such as push-ups, sit-ups, frog jumps, etc. Standing in a military posture and shouting slogans drove these guys to death.
Although the food in the military camp is "ok", with sufficient protein and carbohydrates, but the taste is really not that good, we eat sausage stewed with mashed potatoes, beef stewed with mashed potatoes, lamb chops stewed with mashed potatoes, and corn stew every day, which is also one of the main meals. One, either hot and sour cabbage soup, cooked in a whole pot and done.
Occasionally, there are vegetable salads and the like, which are mixed with Hu Qi Hu Ba. These foods are either bland in taste, or they are beaten to death by salt sellers, or they are low in oil, or they are fatty, just like pig food. Just stew.
There was not even a piece of pasta. If it weren't for the city guards who were taking care of some Italian descendants, there wouldn't even be a lump of pasta. The most staple food was bread, and the hardness of this bread was about the same as a mallet. There are also fishy-smelling milk, which Saint Jose is used to drinking. I wonder if it’s because of Saint Jose’s body genes.
When eating, San Jose went to the military camp kitchen and put 5,000 pesos to turn on a small stove and make some better food and hard dishes, which were prepared separately and tasted slightly better.
They were not allowed to drink alcohol, and they purchased medicines to unblock collaterals and activate blood circulation, and also purchased a batch of washbasins for them to boil water and soak their feet at night.
At the end of the day, Aragorn and the others learned well.
These people didn't have time to stay up late at night, so they were so tired that they fell asleep with their heads covered.
Of course, the training intensity will not be too high all at once to prevent muscle strain and muscle soreness.
Starting from the second day, Saint Jose also conducted simple military theory training to strengthen ideological and theoretical construction.
It has been like this every day for the past few days. When resting, they stand in a military posture and walk forward. Once they get used to it, they increase the training intensity. In just one week, this fifty-person team is doing okay.
A week passed. On the training ground, these people were training in the cold wind. Their eyes were determined and they were full of energy. They had achieved something small.
"The training results these days are very good. You will have a day off tomorrow and Sunday," Saint Jose said with a smile, but to others it was like a devil's smile, which was too scary.
"Yes, sir." Although the people below were a little excited after hearing the words, they still stood in a good military posture. Saint Jose was very satisfied. They had been in a bit of trouble these past few days.
I happen to have to meet the commander tomorrow and propose to him a military exercise.
During the military training, St. Hesse also carefully studied military theoretical knowledge and practiced it, and felt that he had made some progress. Li Qingyun from the cannery also joined the factory three days ago to work as a small assembler. The production line was also ready, and the output With the new breakthrough, I also took the time to go to the glass factory to clear out all the inventory, and placed a new batch of larger orders. Everything is developing in a good direction.
