Chapter 717 Substitute training

Before Roger went south to take over the Ambrosia Islands, he spent a lot of time and energy studying the Haihan Executive Committee's vision for the future, especially the long-term plan for the South China Sea.

According to the plan of the Executive Committee, several key waterways and straits between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, such as the Strait of Malacca and the Sunda Strait, must be brought under the control of Haihan sooner or later to consolidate Haihan's power in the South China Sea and even the entire Far East.

The sea power in the region. However, the Western countries that currently control these strategic locations will definitely not withdraw voluntarily and make room for Haihan. Therefore, wars will definitely break out in the future to compete for their control, and the Ambrosia Islands are sea

The most important springboard in Han's strategy to move south. Until other more suitable ports are found, Ambuna Island will be Han's only maritime support point in the waters south of the Indochina Peninsula.

Judging from the speed of Haihan's military development, Roger believes that it is not a fantasy that Haihan will have the strongest maritime armed force in the Far East in a few years, but to defeat all competitors and conquer the South China Sea, the biggest challenge is not only to build

Developing a powerful maritime armed fleet and a vast war zone are also one of the troubles that the Haihan military will have to face in the future.

Although Sanya in Hainan already belongs to the tropical range, the voyage from Sanya to Batavia in the South China Sea has already crossed the equator. The latitude spanned during this period is almost equivalent to the span from Sanya to the wild boar skin nest outside the Northeast Pass. Such a combat distance requires

It was not only Haihan's fleet that was tested, but also the physical fitness of all the participants.

Before this, the Executive Committee and the military had discussed sending a fleet north to establish a stronghold in the Bohai Bay or the Shandong Peninsula in order to receive a large number of war refugees in the Central Plains this year and to conduct military intervention against Kong Youde's rebellion in Shandong. But this proposal

It was later rejected because the feasibility was too low. One of the main reasons was that the military believed that it would be difficult for militia troops to carry out combat missions in such a large geographical span. The local natural environment and climate conditions might hinder the troops.

A stumbling block to performance.

When the Hainan militia went south to attack the Annan Islands, the military did not dispatch the militia troops on Hainan Island. Instead, the Annan militia was sent to fight, which was more adaptable to the local environment. This decision was made based on the adaptability of the troops.

Inside. In the combat deployment against Shibazhi, Fujian, Qian Tiandun's troops went to Zhangzhou nearly a year in advance in order to allow enough adaptation time to ensure that this ace unit would not

It was difficult to adapt to the local environment and affected its performance during wartime.

Since its establishment, the Haihan Militia has implemented a rotational garrison system for troops stationed in various places. Every once in a while, there will be a relatively large-scale cross-regional mobilization. One of the purposes is to enhance the adaptability of the troops to various environments.

.However, due to the limited scale of the militia army and its current scope of control, the effect of such mobilization is still relatively limited.

Based on this current situation, Roger believes that Haihan will make a fuss in Southeast Asia in the future, and the adaptability of the participating troops to the environment must be considered. The Ambunas Islands are currently the southernmost point of Haihan's power territory, that is,

This means that this will be the training area that the Haihan military can find that is closest to the environment of the target area. Although there is currently only one battalion of the militia army deployed here, Roger is convinced that as the situation develops, the Military Commission will take action sooner or later.

Previously, heavy troops were gathered on the front line of the Ambrosia Islands to adapt to the combat environment in advance.

Before that, if Roger can train a force in the Ambrosia Islands that is good at fighting in a tropical environment, there will no doubt be the attention of the top brass of the Military Commission. Maybe there will be a chance to be like Qian Tiandun's Guards Battalion.

In that way, he will be directly recognized by the official and get a formal establishment. And he will also have a great chance of becoming a front-line commander in the battle south.

After completing the speech, which was not very enthusiastic, this group of militiamen completed the induction ceremony. Although they did not obtain real Haihan military status, the training venue was shared with the militia, and the content of their training was basically the same as that of the militiamen.

The training for militia recruits is the same. The only difference is that the training intensity will be lower. After all, these people are just militiamen and not professional soldiers. In addition to training, they must also complete their original livelihood. Otherwise, the income from being a militia cannot be called a subsidy.

.

However, Roger planned to wait for the militia to train for a period of time and begin to adapt to military life, and then gradually transform the qualified ones among them into full-time soldiers. As for the expenses, he would have to count on the generosity of the sponsors.

After the induction ceremony, the recruits were led by the officers of their own militia for training, and Roger took the time to invite the sponsor representatives who came specially to attend the ceremony to his office for tea.

There are six bosses sponsoring Roger's militia project, three of which are from Ming Dynasty, two from Annan, and the remaining one is from the Portuguese Council in Macau.

According to the cooperation agreement signed by Haihan and Portugal, neither the Haihan Military Academy nor the militia will currently accept the Portuguese as trainees or military observers. Although the Portuguese would like to learn some skills from Haihan, they have to go through official channels.

It's not feasible at the moment. Instead, the militia armed with the official turning a blind eye provided the Portuguese with an opportunity to steal their troops.

The notice calling for militiamen was posted that day, and Ricardo, the Portuguese commercial representative stationed on Ambrosia Island, immediately smelled something unusual. Although he was only a sailor and had never served in the army, he was sensitive to military affairs.

The degree was still very high. After confirming that this militia could train personnel for external parties, Ricardo didn't even have time to ask Macau for instructions, so he immediately approached Roger and expressed his willingness to spend money to buy a few training places.

Ricardo was convinced that if the Macau Council knew about this, they would make the same choice as him, so he did not hesitate to select ten people from the Portuguese immigrants on the island to sign up for training with the Haihan people, including

The two of them are even his own personal servants. Therefore, Ricardo will naturally not be absent from today's induction ceremony.

Since Roger did not explain the training content and other details during the recruitment period, and the registration period was only a few days, these sponsors basically applied for the reputation of the Haihan Militia, and there was no time to ask for instructions.

The superior, therefore, still had some doubts about whether the money spent was worth it. And Roger summoned these representatives together with the intention of answering their questions individually.

"I know you all have a lot of questions in your mind that you want to ask me. This is the purpose of inviting you here today." Roger waited until everyone was seated and then said straight to the point: "Everyone, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

"

"The villain is Wang Changyue, the local steward of the Huizhou Haifeng. I would like to ask Chief Luo for advice." A man in his thirties immediately responded.

"Haifeng! Your shopkeeper, Wang Qin, has been with Haihan for many years." Roger nodded and said, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Wang Changyue said: "The shopkeeper Wang mentioned by Chief Luo is the uncle of the little human clan. It is the uncle's assignment that the villain came to work on Amborna Island."

After getting close, Wang Changyue asked: "The villain has assigned seven people to sign up for militia training this time. I would like to ask Chief Luo, how long is the training cycle? Is the fee we paid before enough to participate in the training?"

People complete the entire training?”

The question raised by Wang Changyue was also the focus of several other companies' attention. Everyone turned their attention to Roger and waited attentively for his answer.

Roger responded: "It seems that everyone is very concerned about this issue. This is also my fault. The recruitment plan was released in a hurry and I did not have time to clearly explain the relevant issues in the notice. However, the training officially started today. Now

It’s probably still too late, aren’t you worried that I’ll cheat you out of your money?”

"No, no, Chief Luo is joking!" Everyone waved their hands to indicate that they had no intention of doing so.

Roger smiled noncommittally, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone, now that I have collected the money and people, I will do what needs to be done. Let me briefly talk about the arrangements for this training. Everyone recommended me to join.

As long as the candidate has been accepted, it means that the physical condition is qualified, and you don't have to worry about me finding faults and rejecting the candidate."

"After the people you select come in, the training content and training standards will be exactly the same as others. If there are people with particularly outstanding talents, we will also select them for special training. The training period will be about three months. As long as you are here

They obeyed the arrangements during the process and did not commit any disciplinary violations. I believe that they will successfully complete the training period. And the fees you have paid before are enough for them to complete these three months of training."

"So this means that the training period is only three months?" Wang Changyue is a smart man. He always felt that Roger's words seemed to be unfinished, so he asked immediately.

"The first phase of training lasts for three months." Roger nodded and explained: "After completing this training, they will master basic combat skills. At that time, we will have a public assessment, and all bosses can be present to witness it in person.

See if their level is consistent with other militiamen. If they do not meet the corresponding requirements, or the bosses are not satisfied, then we can keep them for free to participate in the next phase of recruit training. The fee you pay will be

At this point, if you want to continue the second phase of training after this, it will be charged separately. You can consider whether you want to participate at your own discretion."

"Chief Luo, can I ask how this first phase of training is different from the subsequent phases?" While Wang Changyue was still pondering Roger's answer, a thin man with a goatee next to him asked.

road.

Roger snapped his fingers, and the guard behind him stepped forward and distributed a pile of written materials to everyone. He seemed to be well prepared.

"This is the training content at different stages. You can take a look at it for reference." Roger introduced: "The first stage is mainly about individual combat skills. The main contents include fighting skills, shooting skills, ordnance maintenance, and battlefield treatment.

Wait. The second phase of training will add more tactical content, from individual soldiers to the level of grassroots commanders, teaching them how to organize and command small-scale troops for combat. The third phase will have richer content,

Including how to form an army, calculate supplies, collect intelligence, formulate tactics and other skills that senior officers need to master. If someone can complete these three stages of training and pass the examination, then I will personally recommend the trainees to the Shengli Port Military Academy in Sanya.

Higher level training.”

"Then the training costs for the later stages must be quite high, right?" Goat Xu immediately asked after hearing this.

Roger did not answer his question directly, but instead explained why there are so many different stages: "Actually, the original intention of me formulating this training program is to consider the actual needs of the bosses. If you just need training,

For a few personal guards with excellent skills who can look after homes and homes, it will be enough to only complete the first phase of training."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything. If you really just want to train a few bodyguards, why bother spending so much time? As long as you have money, you can hire hard-working warriors, and you will spend money to send them to Haihan for training.

Don't you want to learn the system and combat skills of the Haihan Militia so that you can organize your own private armed forces when you return to the local area? Needless to say, you must participate in this second stage of training.

At this stage, the goal of the wealthy locals to organize a private armed force in the countryside should be achieved. But if you are more ambitious and want to become famous with Haihan, you probably won't stop here.

As long as you complete the third stage, you can be recommended to the Victory Port Military Academy for further training. What kind of treatment is that? Common people have always been unable to reach this threshold. Only military officers from various countries who cooperate with Haihan can have this qualification. Even

Those business partners who have a deep relationship with Haihan cannot be sent in casually.

Huizhou Haifeng is one of the major shareholders of Qiong Lianfa, and Wang Changyue also knows a thing or two about it. When the Guangzhou Li family cooperated with the Haihan military to provide golden shield transportation, the owner of Haifeng was jealous.

People were also sent to Shengli Port to participate in training, but the people sent did not study at the Shengli Port Military Academy, but only completed relevant training at the army base of the Haihan Militia. There is still a very different relationship between the military and the civilian armed forces.

There is an obvious difference in treatment.

As far as Wang Changyue knew, Haihan's military had never made this claim before, so he still had some doubts about Roger's statement. If Roger was not bragging, would it mean that Haihan would be in the future?

The military can do this, and military academies will also open enrollment to the outside world?
