Chapter 138 code name;

The food standards that the Marine Corps should have were not finished yet, Zhou Changfeng submitted an application to the Navy Department of the Ministry of War, and was quickly approved-an additional food subsidy was allocated, with an additional three cents per person per day, increasing to 0.22 yuan per day .

"Is this going to be bad? We are the only one serving this meal, and we are so prominent... I'm afraid people will be jealous." Yao Liangchuan expressed concern about this.

If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it?
Xie Wancheng replied nonchalantly: "Jealous? Let the envious guy see our drill specification, and it's the only one. Who wants to try?"

Zhou Changfeng was naturally not worried at all. After all, there are very few people who are completely unreasonable. If someone really doubts, then just throw the training rules in his face.

Due to the special nature of the beach landing, the officers and soldiers are likely to have to swim or wade ashore, which is extremely physically exhausting. Therefore, in the temporary trial training regulations exclusively for this unit, Zhou Changfeng added to the standard physical training standards. quantity.

Not to mention anything else, just the 5000-meter light swim and the 500-meter full-armed [-]-jin swim are enough to make people daunting and shut up.

However, because of the freezing weather, the swimming training has not yet started, and it will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.

However, even the queue training and other routine physical training were enough to exhaust the soldiers. What the marine regiment was most afraid of was the sidecar motorcycle that Zhou Changfeng was sitting on.

When that familiar roar came, there was a high probability that something bad would happen, and there were always words like "do it again" and "increase the volume".

Fortunately, there are sufficient funds to purchase ingredients. Otherwise, if you do not consume enough protein and only rely on carbohydrates such as rice, steamed buns, and noodles, such high-intensity physical training will make your body overwhelmed and greatly affect your health. healthy.

In addition, the most important thing is that after thinking and weighing, Zhou Changfeng decided to implement transparent management of the internal financial expenditure of the unit. Although this measure surprised many military officers at first, it was finally implemented.

There are many difficulties in building an army from scratch, but there are corresponding advantages. The advantage is that this unit is a blank slate, without long-term and indelible chronic illnesses and bad habits.

Just imagine if he was transferred to a team that had long-standing malpractices, no matter how vigorous Zhou Changfeng was, the final effect would not be very good, and he might even be pushed out by a gang.

In terms of internal management and discipline, he is very cautious. He holds collective meetings of officers and soldiers every now and then, and implements disclosure of financial expenditures. This is almost over.

Going deeper, such as the Soldiers Committee, would be too risky and unlikely to be tolerated by the current Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that everyone turns a blind eye and closes their eyes, but obviously there is no need to be so "ostentatious" to be different.

November 28, [-]:[-] am.

The cold northwest wind was whistling with the wet and cold moisture of the Yangtze River. Before dawn, the Marine Regiment [-] in Jiangxinzhou was already busy as usual.

After many days, Zhou Changfeng specially gathered the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment at the big school field today, and then announced an important matter.

"According to the news from the Ministry of War, our code name has not yet been finalized, and the military flag has also been woven, but it will be embroidered after the code name is confirmed."

"'Ningwu', 'Tengxiang', and 'Boulong', there are three choices in total. Let's discuss each of them today. According to the statistics, the one with the most votes is the code name of our regiment."

I don't know where this habit of the Ming army came from, and there are different opinions. Anyway, each division and brigade of the army has its own code name.

Take the Third Mixed Brigade as an example, its designation is the Third Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Guard, its number is A character [-], and its code name is Baotao.

But regimental units also have code names?This is the first time something new happened, and it also confirmed from the side that these two marine regiments will inevitably expand in the future.

It can be said that the soldiers are very novel, how can the code name of this unit be decided by themselves?This sense of respect that was not common in the past made them very happy.

While the ballots were being distributed and counted, the officers also gathered and chatted.

Regarding this, Zhu Lishuo looked calm and said proudly: "Let me just say, no matter how strong the regiment is, it is still a regiment, and it is still too difficult to work independently. At least it has to be a brigade, so Ah, the expansion is inevitable."

Xue Can thought for a while, then hesitated: "But if it really expands into a teacher's brigade, let's..."

Without fighting, how could promotion be so fast?
If it is really expanded into a division in the past two years, the division commander will be either a brigadier general or a major general, and the commanders of each regiment must be at least a lieutenant colonel.Obviously, not only Zhou Changfeng can't reach it, but they might also have difficulty getting promoted.

In all fairness, everyone does have a bit of a "small group" idea, and they all think that Zhou Changfeng is a very good chief officer, if it is replaced by someone else, it may not be so.

Later, as the counting of the votes was completed, a staff officer reported that "Beautiful Dragon" had received the most votes.

The two code names "Ningwu" and "Tengxiang" sound good, but they are a little general and always feel a little empty. In comparison, "Paulong" is more realistic and vivid.

The so-called Panlong refers to a dragon that is dormant on the ground but has not ascended to heaven. It is also a dragon that holds water, but it is inferior to Jiaolong. At the same time, because of the meaning of the word, Panlong also means lying on the ground.

Zhou Changfeng nodded and said: "The votes you cast will not deceive people. Since the soldiers generally like this, let's submit the application in this way."

In this way, from late November to the end of December, the First Marine Regiment was in full swing for basic training.

The amount of training was quite large, and even those carefully selected veterans were so tired that they cried for their fathers and mothers.

However, due to abundant funds, and the pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, and fish in Gyeonggi are all cheap and affordable, the food is impeccable. Looking at all the divisions in Ming Dynasty, this is the only one; there are small boats almost every day Or the cargo ship departs from the pier and transports the full load of ingredients and livestock to Jiangxinzhou.

Therefore, when a group of officials from the Ministry of War arrived at the Jiangxinzhou barracks under the leadership of Yang Zhen, they were immediately surprised by the unusually positive atmosphere.

They came here specially to present the flag this time, and after a month of training, the First Marine Regiment can be regarded as an army.

At [-]:[-] a.m., the warm winter sun shines on the earth, and the [-] members of the whole regiment lined up neatly on the field of the university. The military band played music, and the whole army sang "Sun and Moon Together".

This is a standard universal military song, regardless of service, it can be used by all three armies.

The few military songs currently used by the Ming army are not passionate and majestic enough in Zhou Changfeng's opinion. They sound more like reciting poems and hymns aloud. The same is true for the national anthem of the Ming Dynasty "Tianming Dide".

This may be a common characteristic of monarchy countries all over the world. For example, "God Save the Queen", "The Generation of the King", and "Ode to Psalms" are mostly soft and have no sense of excitement. They are often singing the praises of the monarch. The republic is very different.

But what's interesting is that Daming has a second national anthem called "Fuyao", which is more magnificent and exciting.
