Chapter 1861 Qualifications to Join the Allied Forces

Qian Tiandun's current main focus is on military cooperation projects with North Korea after the war, and he really does not have much time to manage these newly opened construction sites. Having said that, as a senior military general, these civil affairs affairs are indeed beyond

It was within his jurisdiction, so even if Fu Li took the initiative to ask for instructions, he had no intention of interfering with the specific arrangements of these projects. And in Qian Tiandun's view, this small conflict at the salt farm construction site was really nothing.

It was such a big deal, Fu Li's reaction was a bit too intense.

The production bases built in the industrial cooperation plan between the two countries were not entirely funded and developed by Haihan. North Korea also invested a lot of money in the official name. However, this was mainly for convenience. In fact, more than half of the investors were North Korea.

The country's powerful and wealthy businessmen. In the future, the profits gained from the operation of these places will naturally be distributed to these invisible shareholders according to their investment shares. The conflict of interest between migrant workers and supervisors on the construction site is essentially a class conflict that exists in North Korea. It is just that

It was just exposed in the specific environment of the Haihan construction site.

Since this is an internal conflict in North Korea, Qian Tiandun does not want Fu Li to take direct intervention. Haihan's diplomatic relations with North Korea are currently in a stage of rapid development, and Victory Fort also has long-term plans to turn the lower reaches of the Datong River in North Korea into a sea.

For Haihan's heavy industrial base in this area, maintaining stable relations with North Korea is the top priority at the moment. As for the construction process of these industrial bases, it will not be as tense as the previous construction of the Datong River military base, so Haihan

There is no need to risk offending North Korea by interfering in its internal affairs.

Although Fu Li is determined to solve some problems that have arisen in industrial cooperation between the two countries, it is difficult for him to get the support of the top leaders of the two countries on this matter. After all, judging from the current situation, if some radical measures are not taken, it will indeed be impossible.

It is difficult to fundamentally resolve this contradiction, and no one is willing to take this risk. Maintaining the status quo is the safest choice for both parties.

If an extreme emergency does occur, the thousands of naval and Han troops currently stationed at the Datong River base will not just watch the excitement. When it is time to use force to suppress it, Qian Tiandun will definitely not be merciful. Of course, dispatching naval forces will

It is actually unlikely that the Han army will do such dirty work. Even if something happens, the North Korean side should take action first, such as dispatching North Korean troops who are training at the Datong River base.

There are currently two thousand North Korean soldiers stationed at the Datong River base. They are elites selected from all walks of life in North Korea. A considerable number of them are young grassroots officers selected in accordance with Haihan's requirements. Many of them have already been to Liaodong last year.

Jinzhou, in the name of a military observation group, had observed the battle between the Haihan Army and the Qing Army on the front line. More than 50% of the trainees had participated in combat operations in the anti-Qing campaign in the past few months.

Proportion.

Many of these Korean soldiers come from powerful families. They have a relatively intuitive understanding of the military strength of the Qing army and the Haihan army. They are also very clear about the actual situation of their country. They know that receiving training and arming from the Haihan army may be an important factor in improving their country's military.

The most effective way to gain strength is to better understand why you were selected to participate in this kind of training - if all goes well, some of them will become senior generals in charge of their country's army in ten or twenty years.

Of course, to achieve such a goal, these soldiers must work hard from now on, otherwise they will not be recognized by the Haihan military at all, let alone the opportunity for further study in the future.

According to the cooperation agreement between the two parties, the people currently responsible for training these Korean soldiers are Haihan generals Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun, and their high vision has been widely spread among the Korean army. After all, in this year's Anti-Qing War, many soldiers were

The North Korean troops sent to coordinate with Haihan could only act as handymen throughout the whole process, and were rarely assigned to the front line to perform combat tasks. The reason was that General Haihan was extremely uneasy about the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army, and the coalition forces were

If the defense is mainly defensive, it is unwilling to take the risk of being breached and mobilize the North Korean troops to the front line to participate in defensive operations.

Therefore, although the North Korean army has nominally joined the military alliance led by Haihan, in fact, the Allied forces will not take the North Korean army with them when performing combat missions. This seems to allow the North Korean army to avoid the flames of war.

, but for the military and the North Korean rulers, it is actually a silent shame. In this kind of war to protect the country, the country's army can only do miscellaneous things behind the coalition forces. It is really not something that can make people

Happy things.

Because of this, the post-war North Korean military's merit-based rewards were very embarrassing. They could only reward those generals who led troops to resist foreign enemies in various northern towns in the early stage. Most of these generals had died on the battlefield, and even their leaders

The chance of winning any prizes was gone. And those North Korean troops who cooperated with the coalition operations in the rear hardly saw any blood, and the military judge Shen Jingzhen could not shamelessly calculate the merits of these troops who had not stepped onto the battlefield.

If they cannot achieve decent military exploits, they will naturally not be able to win enough respect. The urgent problem that the Korean army needs to solve after the war is not only to rebuild the northern troops that were wiped out by the Qing army in the previous war, but also to find ways to strengthen its own military strength.

, to gain recognition from other military allies.

Looking at the foreign invasions that North Korea has encountered in the past few decades, almost without exception, they have to rely on foreign reinforcements to defeat the enemies. This naturally makes it difficult for North Korean rulers to have a sufficient sense of security. As a pursuing king, Li

He very much hopes that one day he can rely entirely on his own troops to resist invasion, so establishing a new army with more powerful combat effectiveness has become one of North Korea's development goals.

Since the establishment of official exchanges between North Korea and Haihan, they have been trying to obtain various military assistance from Haihan, including weapons, equipment and personnel training. However, before the North Korean army could achieve results, the invasion of the Qing army interrupted it.

This process. After this war, the military also fully realized how big the gap was between itself and the Haihan Army. It also saw the results achieved by the armies of other countries following the Haihan Army, which made it more determined to establish the

The plan of the new army.

This war drained North Korea's treasury, so for the time being there is not enough military spending to purchase weapons and equipment in large quantities. All that can be done now is to send a group of outstanding soldiers to the Haihan Army for training so that they can become new soldiers in the future.

The fire of the army.

An Dao-seok was a North Korean officer who was selected to receive training at the Taedongjiang base. His origins could be described as ordinary. He was just an Orion family in Ping'an Road. Ten years ago, the Dingmao Rebellion broke out, and North Korea tried to control the country nationwide.

There was an emergency recruitment to resist the invasion of the Hou Jin army. Andao Shi, who was only fifteen years old at the time, accepted the call from the local government and joined the army.

However, before the reinforcements where Andose was included rushed to the front line, the war had been declared over, ending with North Korea's initiative for peace, and Andose was lucky enough not to enter the battlefield. Ten years later, the powerful northern neighbor once again raised troops to invade North Korea.

But this time, before the war actually started, he was already recruited to the front line of the Datong River to participate in the construction of the defense line led by Haihan.

After Andao Shi arrived at the place, he discovered that this project was not just a line of defense, but a large military base. Thousands of foreign coalition forces were stationed here, preparing to build it into the final barrier to stop the Qing army from moving south.

defensive fortress.

Although Andao Shi had not gone to Liaodong to see the power of the Haihan Army before, he had heard various rumors about this ever-victorious army. After arriving at the Datong River, he witnessed with his own eyes the Haihan Army, which was almost fully equipped with firearms.

The artillery warships docked on the banks of the Hejiang River. Even the equipment levels of the other foreign armies that followed Haihan to North Korea were far better than those of the Korean army. This really gave Andoshi a big impact.

But what made him even more frustrated was that the North Korean army could only be responsible for logistics and logistics work here, and its functions were almost the same as those of civilians. Although some people questioned Haihan's arrangement, the Haihan army immediately arranged several

During this tactical exercise, he used advanced infantry and artillery coordination tactics to silence everyone. It is not difficult for Andoshi to imagine that if the troops under his command were to perform tasks in such a combat environment, they would probably have been defeated before they could engage with the Qing army.

He was thrown into confusion amidst the rumble of artillery. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that the arrangement of the Haihan people was indeed reasonable. If the North Korean army was forced to fight with them, there would most likely be an unfavorable situation in which the North Korean army would be held back.

There is no need to go into details about the subsequent war process. The Haihan Army used its impressive record to show its North Korean counterparts what real combat effectiveness is. At the Datong River base, An Daoshi observed how the coalition forces relied on the defense line to block an army whose strength was more than ten times its own.

The Qing army, and because they were familiar with the geography of the northern theater, acted as the guide for the Haihan Army's independent regiment after entering the counterattack stage. Following the troops commanded by Gao Qiaonan, they pursued the Qing army from the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River to the banks of the Yalu River, and experienced it personally.

The advanced combat methods and extremely high combat efficiency of the Haihan Army.

It is precisely because of this rare experience that Andao Shi not only received awards from the Bingcao Yamen after the war, but also got the opportunity to continue to receive Haihan military training as a reserve officer of the new army. This is a good thing for Haihan who has almost become

For Andorite, a military supporter, it is simply the best reward that surpasses material rewards.

However, Andoshi quickly woke up from his excitement. He found that he did not have much advantage among the soldiers he received training. Many officers came from powerful families in Seoul and several big cities in the south.

There are also many people who have received training in the Haihan Army who went to Liaodong, and there are many people with better military quality than him. He even saw some colleagues who had recently reported to the base, and General Haihan personally presided over it for the first time.

During the training, I greeted him warmly. It was obvious that he was an old acquaintance who had dealt with him before.

If he wants to stand out among these trainees, Andao Shi knows that there is no shortcut. He can only learn more and practice more, and use his true skills to win the favor of instructor Haihan. Fortunately, he is from an Orion family and has been making a living in the mountains and forests since he was a child.

, his physical fitness is quite good. And his familiarity with the mountain and forest environment also makes him stand out in the training courses formulated by the Haihan Independent Regiment, which uses mountain jungles as the main combat environment. He has been pulled out by officers many times as an example for his colleagues.

study.

The training content of this day was an armed cross-country training in a mountain forest six miles north of the base. The trained North Korean soldiers first spent half a day walking to a place in the mountain forest, and then divided into batches in units of platoons led by each officer.

Set off and return to the base. The return trip is about ten miles, more than half of which is mountainous. The individuals and groups that take the shortest time will be rewarded, while the slowest team will be assigned to chores such as cleaning the camp toilets and bathhouses.

A rifle and a combat backpack weighing more than ten kilograms make many people complain in the first half of the journey into the mountains, let alone the return journey that requires marching speed. But this kind of item is Andorite's strengths. According to

In the past few outdoor armed training results, it is no surprise that he will definitely enter the top three in personal results again.

However, after arriving at the destination, Takahashi Minami, who was in charge of the training today, temporarily assigned a new task to Andoshi: "Andoshi, you will act with me today. You don't have to set off with the large army on the return trip."

Although Andao Shi was slightly surprised, he did not doubt that he was there. When he was chasing the Qing army in the northern mountains and forests, Gao Qiao Nan would often issue some seemingly unclear instructions. And Daoshi thought that this might be Gao Qiao Nan's intention.

I need to increase my training, and I am secretly cheering myself up in my heart, and I need to seize this opportunity to perform well in front of Takahashi Minami.

After a brief rest, the trained North Korean soldiers began to set off in batches towards the south under the command of instructor Haihan. In the end, in addition to a group of Haihan officers, those who remained in the mountains and forests included others.

Seventy-eight North Korean officers, including Ahn Do-seok.

"Put down all your equipment first, I have a few words to say." Takahashi Minami signaled to those who were eager to try not to rush off, but to listen to what he said first.

The only thing left for Andao Shixindao's cross-country training was the return trip, and he still had to mobilize alone. So he followed the instructions and put the rifle and backpack on the ground.

"I'm keeping you here today because after this period of training, I noticed that you are all students with outstanding military qualities, and you are talents worthy of special training!"

Takahashi Nan praised him as soon as he opened his mouth, but before these North Korean soldiers could finish being happy, he changed the subject and said: "But the conditions in the North Korean army are limited, and the army is run by civilians. Military generals have almost no chance to get ahead. If you

If you join the army in this environment, you will sooner or later become mediocre and your military talents will be wasted. So I want to provide you with another possibility that will allow you to give full play to your abilities."
