Red Alert 1895 Chapter 196

With the order of the General Staff, Taiwan's army immediately began to carry out secondary combat readiness. More exciting and second-level combat readiness means that the situation has deteriorated, and the threat of war has begun. Stop taking vacations, convalescence, visiting relatives, changing jobs and being discharged from the military. Control personnel going out, make preparations for gathering troops, and recall those going out; distribute combat readiness materials, and promptly implement various guarantees such as logistics and equipment; rush to repair weapons and equipment; The establishment is fully staffed; emergency repairs are made and obstacles are set up; preparations are made for the evacuation of troops, weapons, and equipment; adjustments and revisions are made to the combat plan;

And after such a series of actions, Taiwan's army has also begun to become tense, and everything is beginning to face the atmosphere of battle. The Taiwanese government took the initiative to spend a large amount of funds to purchase materials from public and private industrial enterprises, and even purchased a large amount of food for military use. At the same time, the price of food on the market has also begun to rise, because the army has begun to stockpile a large amount of materials needed for the war. There is nothing Taiwan can do about the temporary rise in food prices. After all, it is inevitable that food prices will rise when the war starts. This is an inevitable law of value. However, the government immediately began to crack down on those who speculate in food, so as to avoid further exacerbating the rise in food prices and affecting the lives of the people.

"Mr. Zhang, you used to be a retired non-commissioned officer in Taiwan, and you made meritorious service during the Anti-Japanese War. Now you have changed your job and returned to work in agriculture, and our Taiwan government hopes that you can return to the army. Do you want to go back?" The mobilization soldier who came to mobilize asked.

And the former retired non-commissioned officer Zhang Laosan asked, "Is there going to be a war?"

"This is a secret, I don't know, even if I know it, I can't say it!" Said the soldier.

Although the atmosphere of this kind of war is already obvious, only the high-level people know the target of the war, and ordinary low-level officers and soldiers do not know the target of Taiwan's next battle. So now everyone doesn't know who they will fight next, but the war is very close to everyone.

"Okay, since Lord Wang has an order, I'll go back to the army too!" Zhang Laosan said.

Zhang Laosan returned to the barracks, and then prepared to participate in retraining. It is considered to resume the training of the army. And when he came to the army, he discovered that many of the retired non-commissioned officers like him had been recalled to the army in large numbers, and even many ordinary troops would be recalled to the army. At present, it is just persuasion, but according to what he has learned. Next, with the expansion of the army, a large number of experienced non-commissioned officers will be required to return to serve. Many non-commissioned officers were even promoted exceptionally, and promoted to become platoon leaders, which can be regarded as regular military officers.

And all of this is almost unimaginable, because it has been stipulated that promotion must go through the military academy before non-war time. certainly. Temporary promotion on the battlefield can be counted, but after that, you must have studied in a military academy before you can be officially appointed. But now it's actually considered "fireline promotion", which is the rule of going through the military academy. However, the first class also claimed that as long as they stabilized after a while, they must go to the military academy if they want to stay in their positions. But when it is stable, when is that? This is enough to show that the war may be imminent. Obviously, many grassroots officers are not enough, and they are directly promoted from experienced non-commissioned officers.

In the barracks, Zhang Laosan was chatting with some retired non-commissioned officers, and they obviously couldn't do without the preparation for the war.

"This time it seems to be true. In the past, our army did not have such strict requirements on the troops in daily life, and there was no rule that the gun should not leave the body. But now it has been clearly stipulated that the gun must be kept on the body, even when sleeping. They are going to lie down with their clothes on and wear military uniforms to prepare for battle. Even, each soldier usually only has five bullets, but now they are all fully loaded, and the bullets have been directly assigned to each soldier. , each soldier has 200 bullets, which was only the case when we were fighting the Japanese before!" said a non-commissioned officer.

"Yeah! This time the catch is very strict. It's definitely not a little looser like in the past, but it's really strict. I heard from an old comrade in the logistics department that I see a lot of dog cars every day. When you come back from pulling goods from the outside, there are carts full of food. There are also various weapons and ammunition. Now the logistics department spends money like water every day, and a lot of money is spent on logistics. The factories where the military uniforms are produced are spent every day Production, those tailors who are too busy to touch the ground, have even been forced to faint by some employers."

Zhang Laosan asked, "So much trouble? This time it seems that a war is really going to start! I just don't know who is going to fight this time. Is it going to attack the mainland?"

"Attack the mainland. That's great! We have long wanted to attack the mainland. At that time, we can reach Beijing and support Governor Wang as the emperor. At that time, we were all heroes of the founding of the country." Someone said.

Zhang Laosan also said, "We are in Taiwan now, and those who beat the Japanese with Governor Wang are not bad. And everyone is paid very high, and their families are also protected. And many of us now also We all got the land, and all of this was obtained with the Governor Wang. If the Governor Wang had not implemented a stepped agricultural tax, the leaders of those families would not have given us the land. We worked hard, but why did they give us the land? Do we treat ourselves as members of our own family? To be honest, I was also a member of the Zhang family who was shot at that time, but they didn't treat us as a family, so we shouldn't treat them as a family when we got the land. Because Governor Wang, we have land, so we naturally want to help Governor Wang conquer the world."

Most of these retired non-commissioned officers are Taiwanese natives, so they all obtained the land when the first batch of landlords distributed the land, and many of them now own the land with the help of Wang Guorui. So now they naturally want to help Wang Guorui defeat the enemy, otherwise if Wang Guorui falls, those family leaders will take back their land one after another. And as long as the mainland government does not fall for a day, then they are not completely relieved. After all, the mainland government supports those landlords, and now they have divided the land. Although they all got their own family's land, those who got the land didn't have any nostalgia for that so-called family. They just wanted to defeat the central government of the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, and then they could really feel at ease.

"Yes, if we can conquer the mainland, then we will all be heroes of the founding of the country! But for some reason, Mr. Wang has no idea of ​​conquering the mainland at all, so we really worry for him!"

"My lord Wang doesn't want to fight the mainland, so he must have his own ideas. We soldiers should not think about fighting the mainland. I heard that this time it seems that we are not using troops against the mainland, but against the south. Soldiers are used!"

Zhang Laosan asked, "The south, what is there to fight in the south, it's all a vast ocean!"

"Hey, don't tell me, there are good things in the south! It is inevitable that there are a lot of copper mines on the big islands. The bullets we use are made of copper. There are even many things. The land there is fertile. I heard that One mu of land can be used by the Party as several mu of land here!" Someone said.

"Really?" Zhang Laosan asked temptingly.

Although the land is divided now, people are all greedy and hard to fill. When there is no land, they want land, and when they have land, they want fertile land and more land. So Zhang Laosan was very moved when he heard that there was a mu of fertile land that could be used as several mu of land.

"Not only that, there is not only fertile land, rich minerals, but also a lot of it! There are a group of indigenous people, and they are a group of lazy guys. We Chinese are farming there, and many of them are not engaged in production. But after we Chinese got rich, they came to rob us of our Chinese things. They never worked hard to grow them when they wanted good things, they always wanted to rob us Chinese. You say, this kind of person is hateful or not? This time we It is to avenge us Chinese and obtain those lands!"

"Okay, **** it, they are so hateful, so we don't need to be polite to them. Such good land is a waste for them, why don't we plant it!" Zhang Laosan said~www .mtlnovel.com~ Not only that, but this time I heard that the priority is to satisfy those who have done meritorious service on the battlefield and killed many enemies. Those who kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds can give priority to enclosing land. Anyone who kills the enemy and makes meritorious deeds will have the priority to obtain the right to choose land. When the time comes, those who have minerals and fertile land will be selected by those who have made meritorious deeds. "

"This time, we must kill a few more enemies, and finally there is a battle, so how can we miss it?" Zhang Laosan said.

And many soldiers said that in this war, we must do our best to fight for the right to choose land, and we must grab those with minerals and fertile land.

And in the Governor's Mansion, an officer of the General Political Department reported in front of Zheng Hong, "Director Zheng, we have finished the propaganda, and the soldiers will be high-spirited at any time, and they are holding back their energy to kill the enemy. !"

"Okay, that's it for today. I'm still pregnant, and it's up to you guys. I won't take care of it during this time." Zheng Hong said.

"Yes!" The officer of the General Political Department replied.
