"Take a long-term view," Su Yuxiao said to Liao Yuanliang, "I just took out 1 million silver dollars from my pocket to subsidize special training military pay and provide extra meals for the brothers."
"1000000!"
Liao Yuanliang exclaimed, "Captain, 1 million is more than enough to feed an army, let alone a regiment! I guess you have something else to ask me for?"
"clever."
Su Yu said with a smile, "In addition to extra meals and wages, I also need you to recruit a reserve force."
"Reserves?"
Liao Yuanliang frowned and said, "Captain, we are just a local security group. Do we need to recruit reserves?"
"It's true that it is a regiment now, but what about in the future?" Su Yu said mysteriously, "In the future, it may become a division, an army, or even a group army."
"hiss!"
Only then did Liao Yuanliang remember that his commander was not an ordinary person. He was a second-generation member with a decent status. His father was the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Not only did he own the rich land of the two provinces, he also governed the people under his command. It is tens of millions. In the future, it is not impossible to manage an army or a group army.
"Understood."
Liao Yuanliang looked at Su Yu and asked, "So how many people will be recruited into this reserve force?"
"The more, the better," Su Yu said slowly, "We only have one month. According to the recruitment standards of the regular army, we can recruit as many as we can in one month."
"Oh, by the way, a reminder," Su Yu said with a smile, "You are now a deputy commander. If you prepare more recruits, it is not impossible to become a deputy brigade commander or deputy division commander."
"Be good!"
Liao Yuanliang understood that according to the regiment leader's intention, the number of soldiers he recruited would determine how high an official he might be promoted in the future.
"What if we recruit a group army?"
"Then he might be the deputy army commander. However," Su Yu looked at the other party and said, "Strict recruitment standards must be followed, and no random recruitment is allowed."
"Do not worry!"
Liao Yuanliang walked out of the regiment headquarters with a smile. He quickly found his adjutant and set up a recruitment management office.
Seeing the other party being so active, Su Yu chuckled. This cake painting method is still quite effective in this era.
In the next month, Su Yu was running back and forth between the company and the regiment. He was so busy that he lost a lot of weight. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to worry about everything.
After a month of training in the army, Su Yu made some adjustments, adjusting the three months of special training to one and a half months. In the second half of the month, he was practicing actual combat and arranging troops almost around the clock.
Because the training results of the security team exceeded Su Yu's imagination, and his foundation was very good.
Therefore, three months of special training was condensed into one and a half months, and the soldiers' training results were also very good. After this month of training, this unit has taken on a completely new look, and it already has the shadow of an elite unit.
After a month of rigorous training, the commander became very proficient in how to arrange troops, how to dig trenches, and how to use troops. Su Yu also often joined in, combining the tunnel warfare, sixteen-character tactics, and three-three tactics from his previous life. The commanders were taught the tactics of fierce attack and fierce attack, which benefited them a lot.
"Hahaha, leader."
Liao Yuanliang came to Su Yu with two panda eyes and laughed, "One month is up. The recruitment work of our recruitment office has been successfully completed. Guess how many soldiers our recruitment office has recruited?"
"oh!"
Su Yu was really curious about the recruitment work of the Recruitment Department. He was so busy this month that he really didn't have time to take care of the Recruitment Department.
"2,000?"
"Captain, you underestimate me. Guess again and make a bold guess," Liao Yuanliang said with a smile.
"5,000?"
"Keep guessing."
"10000?"
"Hahaha," Liao Yuanliang finally couldn't help laughing, "After our recruitment office's publicity, we recruited 12,000 qualified soldiers in one month."
"My dear!"
Su Yu was shocked by this number. He thought he would be able to recruit many new recruits in a month if he went all out to recruit, but he didn't expect it!
"Captain," Liao Yuanliang said, putting away his smile, "you think too highly of Daxia. There are many people who cannot afford to eat. We soldiers are selected from among 120,000 people."
Hearing this, Su Yu also fell silent.
yes!
There are too many people who have no food to eat.
In the Great Xia Kingdom, no less than one hundred thousand people starve to death every day. If you come here to serve as a soldier, you will be paid four silver dollars a month and take care of the food. You are not going to squeeze your brains to join the army. Su Yu also added, The families of those who died in the war were given 50 silver dollars.
"Captain, who am next?" Liao Yuanliang asked expectantly.
"Train troops," Su Yu patted the other party's shoulder and said, "You recruit the troops yourself, train them yourself, and let the veterans lead the new recruits. In this way, when the new recruits are trained, the veterans will also be trained."
"Yes!"
Liao Yuanliang knew that he had been deceived. No matter how many soldiers he recruited, he was deceived no matter how high an official he became. The real purpose was just to make him work actively.
Su Yu was still shocked that Liao Yuanliang was able to recruit 12,000 people. This meant that the force in his hands was about to be expanded to 15,000 people, which was equivalent to a reinforced division.
The logistical pressure will be greater, but his confidence will also be greater.
This month, the Eagle Country Guy tried every means to force him to sell Pier 1. He also resisted under pressure. The other party often sent soldiers to cause trouble.
"Captain!"
At this time, a burly and well-armed man came to Su Yu and shouted, "There was an accident at the dock. A group of Japanese warriors were making trouble, and our workers were beaten."
"Eastern Kingdom!"
Su Yu didn't have a good impression of the Oriental Kingdom. To say that there was no country in the world that he hated the most, it was the Oriental Kingdom.
It's just that there is no Japanese garrison in Shanglu. What are they doing here?
"Assemble the guard platoon immediately," Su Yu said with a slight frown, "Assault on Pier One, I want to see what these pigs want to do!"
This is the situation in various places in the Great Xia Kingdom. Foreigners are doing evil in the Great Xia Kingdom, burning, killing, looting, seizing women from good families, and countless families have been broken up.
But even so, the court still chose to remain silent.
At Pier 1, tens of thousands of workers stopped what they were doing, pointed at a group of Japanese warriors and angrily said, "Apologise to us!"
"Yes, if you don't give us an explanation today, you won't be able to leave!"
The workers' voices were heard one after another, very loud.
The warrior of the Eastern Kingdom drew his katana and said angrily, "Baga, you stupid pigs, how dare you ask us, the warriors of the Great Eastern Empire, to apologize to you!"
