Chapter 102 The New Base (5)
However, some people raised another objection. Since the opening of a new base, the East China government only sent a small number of time travelers and local personnel to be responsible, and in the early stage it mainly relied on surrendered uprising soldiers, the East China government's ability to control the new base was extremely limited, which easily caused the power of the time travelers to be emptied by the locals by surrendered uprising soldiers, or after the establishment of the new base, they were completely separated from the leadership of the East China government, and they were even independent.
In fact, Xia Bohai proposed this plan after careful consideration and had long thought about various doubts. The new base may be out of control and had been thought of by Xia Bohai. So Xia Bohai admitted that this situation is certainly possible, but it is not a fear, because as long as the East China government operates properly, this situation can be completely avoided.
In the old time and space, the ancestors of the time travelers were divided into multiple independent bases in the past, but there was no situation where the bases became independent. Since the ancestors of the time travelers could do it, the time travelers can do it now. And compared with the ancestors of the old time and space, the advantage of the time travelers is obviously much greater. First of all, the time travelers themselves have a powerful East China government, and the weapons in the bases must be provided by the East China government, which is an advantage that the ancestors of the time travelers cannot compare with. First of all, the uprising soldiers surrendered only a few hundred people, so their dependence on them is only in the early stage of the establishment of the new base. When the new base is initially stabilized, new soldiers will be recruited and the scale of the army will be expanded. What can these few hundred people do?
Then Xia Bohai proposed that as long as the following two points are done well, the base area can basically be avoided from its independence from the East China government. First, the time travelers responsible for leading the base area must do it well, without selfishness, and play a leading demonstration effect in the base area. This can also affect the shock of others, even if a few ambitions appear, they will not receive enough support; secondly, in the process of establishing the base area, strengthen ideological and political education for the base area personnel, and constantly emphasize the leadership position of the East China government over the base area. At the same time, it must improve the institutional construction of the base area to form checks and balances of power, and avoid personal centralization or even dictatorship, so that there is no need to worry about the independence of the base area.
Of course, if the time traveler himself manages and manages the base area and causes the base area to lose control, it can only be blamed for the time traveler himself. However, it cannot be said that the plan itself is wrong, nor is it a reason to oppose the implementation of the plan.
It should be said that this opinion is representative. Many people are indeed worried, but after listening to Xia Bohai's explanation, they are basically relieved. Although some people are still worried, it cannot affect the overall situation.
At this time, someone raised another question, which is who to send to avoid the new base. Now the lowest time travel warrior is also a deputy battalion-level officer, and other ordinary time travelers can be considered as cadres at the section level or above. No matter how poor the subordinates are, they can still manage more than a dozen people. Although they are not as glorious as other time travel predecessors, they can also be considered a small success in their career compared to before time travel.
Moreover, the East China government is now considered to be a big city like Qingdao, Tianjin, and Jinan. The living conditions are very different from those when they first came ashore. Now the travelers living in Qingdao’s administrative dormitory areas live in brick and tile houses, electricity, water, independent bathrooms, and even partial networks. Moreover, the first group of female service personnel trained have already started work. If they are thick-skinned and bolder, they can still get a warm bed. Although it cannot be compared with before traveling, in this era, this is already a life of people.
Opening up a new base is a new starting point. Not to mention whether it can succeed or not, it will lose its life if it is not done well. The process will definitely be very difficult. And even if the base is successful, the living conditions will definitely be much worse than in Shandong. Therefore, are there any time travelers willing to accept this task? What if no time travelers are willing to take a order? Should they force an administrative order or send local people to complete this task?
To be honest, this question was indeed something Xia Bohai did not expect. After all, he could not cover everything and think of all possible questions. However, Xia Bohai's reaction was also very sensitive. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately replied to the implementation of this plan, which was still the principle of conscious voluntaryness and would never use administrative orders to force it. Of course, if no one really took the order in the end, then cancel the plan.
However, Xia Bohai said that he firmly believed that there would be time travelers willing to perform this task, because he did not think that at this time, the entire time travel group had lost its enterprising spirit and was only satisfied with the current situation of Xiaofu Zean'san. Of course, opening up a new base is indeed a difficult task and very dangerous. Therefore, there will be a higher reward for time travelers performing this task, ensuring that their benefits are proportional to the risks they take. At the same time, this can also set a benchmark for future time travelers. The greater the risk of the task being performed, the greater the benefits.
Of course, we need to negotiate further what kind of rewards we have. After all, the rewards cannot be too outrageous. In addition, recruitment, examination, training, and formulation of detailed plans will take time. Therefore, Jinan can reorganize and train the surrendered rebels first, and avoid the base area. Just don’t tell them for the time being. You just need to know. In addition, you must also start ideological and political education of the rebels, and then arrange Xia Sibu to Qingdao as soon as possible. Of course, in this way, Li Zhuangyong’s crime of defection will be repaid, allowing him to make meritorious contributions and atone for his sins.
After receiving the order from the Military Commission, the Jinan garrison took action immediately. The division headquarters handed over the task of reorganizing and training the rebels to the First Regiment, because the First Regiment is still under renovation.
After receiving the order from the division headquarters, Luo Yue first reorganized the personnel of the rebel army. In the past few days, members of the rebel army fled into Shandong Province in scattered areas. In addition, there were more than 200 people, a total of nearly 700 people, of which 66 were seriously injured and could not participate in training for the time being. Among the remaining personnel, more than 80 people did not want to join the army anymore. The People's Army also respected their decision and handed them over to the Jinan government to arrange their lives and work.
Among the remaining 550 people, more than 60 people were not suitable for joining the army due to their age and physical conditions, and at least they were not suitable for fighting troops. Therefore, they were converted into logistics personnel. The remaining less than 500 people were organized into three companies, and the People's Army sent instructors to start regular training.
First of all, of course, the basic training of formation. Although these recruits have experienced the battlefield, except for the soldiers under Li Zhuangyong, no one else has experienced formation training. In the past, when Li Zhuangyong trained his troops like this, many people laughed at them for being useless in practicing this kind of walking. However, later some of the rebels fought fairly with Li Zhuangyong's troops, and all of them were defeated. Only then did they know the use of training the queue. Therefore, when the People's Army was trained in this way, no one had any objections.
Luo Yue was also very satisfied with the new recruits. Moreover, they were all people who had been on the battlefield and were much faster than real new recruits. Therefore, after three days of queue training, they added training for assassination, fighting and other combat actions. At the same time, they began to teach new recruits political classes, cultural classes and other education.
More than 20 days passed quickly. Xia Simin had already said goodbye to Jing Tingbin, Zhao Sanduo, Li Zhuangyong and others and went to Qingdao. The injured soldiers also recovered one after another. During this period, a group of members of the rebel army fled to Shandong, so another company was organized, with a total of 4 companies, totaling about 600 people.
Most of the recruits were very satisfied with such a life. Although the training was hard, they did not have to worry about food and accommodation. Although the instructors were strict during training, they were usually very kind. Food and accommodation were the same as everyone else. There was nothing special about it. What’s more important is that the political lessons taught by the People’s Army opened their eyes to them, knowing what they were pursuing and why they were fighting, instead of living in a daze like before, even if they rebel and fight, they would be quick for a moment.
Only Li Zhuangyong felt a little strange because he had been in the People's Army for more than half a year. He knew that at least two places were different from his previous understanding. One was that he did not issue formal uniforms to the People's Army; the other was that he did not have guns.
Li Zhuangyong remembers very clearly that as long as he joins the People's Army, even if he is only a reserve soldier, he will give him a set of military uniform first, because the People's Army's requirements for military appearance are very strict, and a unified military uniform is one of the basic conditions for a steady and honest military appearance. Moreover, after a few days of training, soldiers will be equipped with rifles and fire training. But now there is nothing left. However, it is not accurate to say that the People's Army does not intend to retain them. First of all, other training events besides shooting are all experienced by Li Zhuangyong before. Because he is to educate new recruits politically, this is also the unique feature of the People's Army, which also shows that the People's Army is indeed training as the People's Army's reserve army.
Although Li Zhuangyong was strange, he did not ask in detail, because Li Zhuangyong knew that he had a criminal record of defection, and the People's Army ignored past grudges and was very tolerant of making meritorious contributions, but he also had to restrain himself. Therefore, after returning to the People's Army this time, Li Zhuangyong did not even look for his former acquaintances such as Jiang Haidong.
