    "The words of the supervisor are eye-opening. If the scope of recruitment is widened to urban and rural refugees, it will be much easier to recruit 8,000 people, but the proportion of people eliminated in the future may not be small." Jiang Hongyu obviously quickly agreed  He understood the ideas proposed by Wang Geng and pointed out potential hidden dangers.

    "In addition to refugees in cities and towns, I think veterans who have served in other armies are a better choice. These people basically do not need to learn military skills from scratch after re-enlisting. Of course, the potential hidden dangers are loose discipline and the old army.  There are many veterans who don¡¯t smoke in other armies these days, but it¡¯s not easy not to gamble in your spare time,¡± Zhang Zhijiang couldn¡¯t help but say.

    "Gambling is easy. You can only gamble if you have money. If you don't have money, it's a waste! But the heavy smoker will never quit. We can't recruit such soldiers!" Shi Jingting, the former director of the Military Law Department, said coldly.

    "According to the superintendent's wishes, why don't we just bring people over from other sources? They are all veterans, so we can just straighten out military discipline!" Li Mingzhong finally said uncontrollably.

    "Xiaodong's words are not very appropriate. The supervisor has just returned from abroad and suddenly ascended to a high position. My opinion is that we should keep a low profile. Otherwise, someone will file a complaint to the Ministry of War before the matter is done. When the time comes,  It¡¯s hard for supervisors to speak in front of Premier Duan!" Liu Yufen shook her head.

    "I'm afraid he'll get killed. If he has good soldiers, how can he be dragged away by us with just a few words? One general is incompetent and will kill the three armies. People with lofty ideals might as well come here to supervise and work hard together!" Li Mingzhong felt uneasy.  Convinced.

    Wang Geng looked at the words of the generals and smiled in his heart. 16 The generals in the Huncheng Brigade that Feng Yuxiang had pulled up had unknowingly started to think like the masters under his own guidance. This was a good start. Of course, for  For them, recruiting good soldiers now is the capital they need to become division commanders and brigade commanders in the future. It would be strange if they are unwilling to work hard!

    "The Eight Immortals across the sea each show their magical powers. They say a thousand things and ten thousand. The key is to recruit people with good qualities. Even if they are temporarily misguided, as long as they are not fugitives with capital crimes and heinous crimes, as long as you dare to recruit them, I will dare to use them!" Wang Geng laughed!  He said,

    "Of course, as the saying goes, father and son fight in battle, and brothers fight tigers. I know that there are many fellow villagers and relatives in the 16 mixed brigade. This style must be maintained and carried forward, but please also remember one thing. In my eyes, Wang Geng  There is no distinction between seniority and geographical location, what is required is that you have real ability and you are willing to contribute to the country!¡±

    When Wang Geng said this, he did not forget to strike a note and repeatedly emphasized that in his eyes, the officers of the 16th Composite Brigade were treated equally!

    Everyone was silent for a moment, thinking that this brigade commander and supervisor was very new. While talking about father and son fighting against tigers and brothers, he also said that everyone should be treated equally. If he really wants to treat everyone equally, why did he directly appoint Jiang Hongyu as the staff officer of his staff headquarters?  Long instead of Qiu Bin or Liu Yufen?

    Seeing that everyone didn¡¯t seem to believe that he could really treat everyone equally, Wang Geng simply made it clear,

    "I know that even though you are all close associates promoted by Mr. Feng, your seniority and feelings are not all the same. Qiu Bin, Shi Jingting, Zhang Zhijiang and the 2nd Battalion Commander of the artillery regiment, Lu Zhonglin, can be regarded as Mr. Feng's subordinates in Fengtian.  Classmates from the Military Academy, brothers who were together in the First Mixed Association, participated in the Luanzhou Uprising together!"

    Wang Geng revealed his family history one by one, which surprised all the officers present. Everyone turned their attention to Qiu Bin, the chief of staff, because the first person Wang Geng saw after arriving in Langfang was Qiu Bin.  After talking for a long time behind closed doors, could it be that Qiu Bin revealed all the details about everyone when they first met?

    Seeing everyone staring at him, Qiu Bin blushed and waved his hands hurriedly, "The conscience of heaven and earth, the supervisor can figure it out, but I didn't even have time to say a word to the brigade commander!"

    Wang Geng¡¯s current two positions as brigade commander and supervisor make this group of officers use them in a roundabout way, and this guy doesn¡¯t take it seriously.

    ???????????????????? Qiu Bin doesn¡¯t say it¡¯s okay, this explanation will make it even more unclear, is there no time?  Does that mean you plan to reveal all the big guys¡¯ details to the supervisor when you have time?

    In the end, it was Wang Geng who helped Qiu Bin out of the siege. The brigade commander and supervisor smiled and said, "Don't make wild guesses. There is nothing I don't know that I want to know. I can tell you all about your experiences after joining the army."  A** is inseparable from ten.¡±

    "Chief of Staff Jiang, you and Liu Yufen are classmates who graduated from the Army Crash Course, but they are not yet part of Mr. Feng's starting team. Mr. Feng started his career first with the brothers from the Luanzhou Uprising. Of course, some of them, such as Han Fuqu, are less qualified.  "The second closest person to Mr. Feng is his brothers from the Bizen camp, and the third is his brothers from the 16th mixed brigade!"

    Wang Geng stopped Li Mingzhong, who was still trying to explain, and said with a smile,

    "I'm not saying that Mr. Feng's employment methods are wrong, butIt is an objective fact that the 16th mixed brigade academic sect does not develop as well as those born in the guards and model companies. To be honest with you, what is the difference between soldiers led by nepotism and interpersonal relationships like other warlords?  "

    "Boss Feng loves soldiers as much as his sons. Our 16th mixed brigade is not the same thing as those warlords who drink the blood of soldiers!" Zhang Zhijiang said with a blush on his neck.

    "I know Mr. Feng is good to the soldiers, but it's common for him to ask senior generals to kneel down and slap him in the face, right? This is the style of warlords. Don't say that you didn't feel aggrieved at the time! It's better to talk things out, European War  The fight is fierce, and the way of war has changed significantly. From now on, it will be an era for professional soldiers to fight in a professional way! "

    Wang Geng's sincere words of enlightenment, although he knew that there would be no obvious results in a short time, but he wanted to build a more professional army, rather than a division commander or brigade commander who could be pulled away by the chief officer at any time.  Private army.

    What would such an army look like?  At least when the division commander orders the soldiers to shoot at unarmed civilians or prisoners, they will not obey easily. Wang Geng needs killing machines, but he does not want his troops to be mindless killing machines. In that case, such an army will be a weapon.  A double-edged sword, you can hurt yourself at any time.

    Wang Geng will choose dictatorship for a period of time, which does not mean that he believes that dictatorship is the only outcome and direction.

    "Supervisor, what does the professional army you are talking about look like?" Xue Dubi, the new chief of the Military Justice Department who had been silent, couldn't help but said. Like the generals, he thought Wang Geng was a bit idealistic, but forget it.  Xue Dubi, the last intellectual, really liked Wang Geng's style and views. He felt as if someone had opened the heavy curtains in front of him and let in a fresh breeze.

    "A professional army strives for its own ideals, not for a certain division commander or prime minister. A professional army is first and foremost an army with ideas. It knows what is right and must do it, even if it involves bloodshed and sacrifice.  Even if you are a high-ranking official and well-paid, you will not be tempted if you know what is wrong!"

    Wang Geng said firmly, his magnanimous eyes exuding a sacred light in front of everyone.

    "Supervisor, can you be more specific about the ideal you are talking about? I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to understand such an illusoryideal!"

    Zhang Shusheng was surprised and novel about Wang Geng¡¯s point of view. As Zhang Shusheng, who is four or five years older than Feng Yuxiang, he can actually be regarded as the eldest brother of this team, and he is still as hard-working and uncomplaining as Jiang Hongyu.

    In fact, Zhang Shusheng has a chivalrous spirit. As early as the failure of the Luanzhou Uprising of 1911, he fled south to Shanghai and joined the Qinggang and Honggang in Shanghai.  As the senior figure of the Qing Gang and the master of Tai Chi Mountain and Changbai Mountain of the Hong Gang, he recruited disciples from the Qing Hong Gang in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Bengbu, Xuzhou, Kaifeng, Hankou and other places.

    So when Wang Geng talked about striving for his ideals, Lao Zhang felt that it was a bit vague and difficult to figure out.

    "Speaking of ideals, doesn't Mr. Feng have a mantra called "Serve the country to the death"?" Wang Geng pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

    "That's right! Supervisor, you really know everything. At this moment, our military uniforms from last year still have the words "protect the country" embroidered on the sleeves!" Qiu Bin couldn't help but said, since this guy has the intention to seek refuge with Wang Geng,  I thought I would help and show off.

    "Serving the country to the death is the most basic ideal that every soldier should have. Of course, just having slogans is far from enough. Premier Duan and I have the same ideal at the moment, which is to unify Beiyang, unify the country, and unite Lao Maozi and Xiao  Drive the Japanese out of China, let China stand among the nations of the world, coexist peacefully with the great powers, and never let the Chinese people be oppressed again!"

    Seeing the generals looking at him with doubts, Wang Geng said seriously, "Of course the ideal must be lofty. This is my ideal and the highest ideal of our team in the future. Of course, for soldiers, it can be simplified to the fact that they want to protect themselves and their families.  Live with dignity in this society and let our loved ones live a good life on the basis of defending justice!¡±
