Chapter 1946

The area bordering the mainland on the Tushan Peninsula has been designated as a restricted area by Annan officials during the civil war many years ago. Large-scale training bases have been built one after another. At the busiest time, there were more than 5,000 Annan soldiers.

Receive training from Haihan military consultants here. This place not only carries the function of training new recruits, but is also a place for advanced training for grassroots officers of the Annan Army. After all, studying abroad in Haihan is only a treatment that a few senior officers can enjoy, and ordinary

It would be good if officers could go to Tushan to receive refresher training lasting from three months to six months.

The new army established by Annan State after the end of the Civil War gradually followed Haihan's organization. The military ranks of officers were also divided into several levels: generals, captains, and lieutenants. Generally, they must be promoted to at least the rank of major or above before they can get the chance to study at Sanya Military Academy.

Opportunities. Such senior officers with qualifications to study abroad will often come here to serve as instructors for a period of time after returning to Annan, and pass on what they have learned in Haihan to ordinary soldiers and junior officers as soon as possible.

Of course, the role of Haihan military advisor cannot be easily replaced. There will still be Haihan officers on the training ground here. Annan officers who have been trained here will also distinguish between their juniors and juniors according to year and shift. Some

Officers who have trained under the same Haihan instructor will even refer to each other as brothers. This spontaneously formed interpersonal network will bring more opportunities to the relevant parties, and will also allow more Annan soldiers to accept Haihan.

The military training provided is very desirable because it has almost become one of the necessary conditions for promotion in the military.

It was naturally difficult for Li Bo to empathize with this, but fortunately, Li Xi and Gai Liangcai cleared up his doubts, and he quickly understood the special significance of this place to Annan. If we want to make an analogy, it is to provide military services to North Korea.

The Datongjiang base for training is selected, and the elites selected from the personnel who go there for training are sent to Sanya to study abroad. This approach is actually similar to the operation method of Annan Kingdom. However, Annan Kingdom is close to Haihan and has financial resources.

It is enough to send a group of officer students to study in Sanya every year. North Korea has tried its best and only sent a dozen officers to study in Haihan this time. I don’t know when the next batch will be.

Of course, if financial resources allowed, Li Bo would also like to do like Annan and select a group of outstanding military officers from his country to study abroad in Haihan every year. However, given the current situation in North Korea, such a thing can only be thought of and is unlikely for the time being.

To implement it, you can only first look at what others have done and gain some operational experience.

Before going abroad, Li Bo had also seen the scene of Haihan officers training domestic soldiers at the Datong River base, but it was still slightly different from the scene of Annan recruits being trained in Tushan this time. The biggest difference is naturally in the equipment.

, even for new recruits who have just joined the army, their training equipment is already better than that of the North Korean regular army, and even individual weapons have become popular with muskets.

Of course, what is used for recruit training is only a very old-fashioned matchlock gun, and they will not be issued ammunition. The main purpose is to allow them to quickly adapt to the company of this weapon during the recruit stage and practice corresponding tactical formations.

However, this level has made Li Bo feel a little sour, because even such an old-fashioned matchlock gun is still a high-end weapon that the North Korean army has no conditions for large-scale deployment. The armies of the two countries have been

widened the gap.

The training content is similar to what Li Bo saw at the Datongjiang base. In fact, it is some relatively basic combat formation training. This is one of the most basic parts of gun tactics. Only by maintaining a stable formation can you have continuous firepower output.

.Although these skills are not complicated, they require a lot of repeated practice to allow recruits to form conditioned reflexes to commands. Otherwise, they will easily become overwhelmed by tension, fear and chaos on the battlefield.

Annan's actual combat experience over the years has played a very important role in training. Many special environments and emergencies on the battlefield can only be understood by soldiers who have personally experienced them. By integrating these situations into daily training, we can

Effectively increasing the adaptability of recruits. In recent years, the Annan Army has also begun to go abroad, and has fought with the Haihan Army in all directions, fighting against various types of enemies. It has also begun to have some generals and troops with outstanding actual combat capabilities. In this

On the other hand, the gap between North Korea and North Korea cannot only be narrowed by weapons and equipment.

This kind of thing doesn't even need Zheng Bai's explanation. Li Bo himself can already sense it after watching the training scene for a while. Annan's recruit training is not just about the combat skills taught by the Haihan people, but also what they have learned from them.

Some lessons learned from my own actual combat experience.

Thinking again, this is only the gap in the training stage of new recruits. Taking into account the situation after the actual combat effectiveness is formed, the strength gap between the two sides will only be wider. Li Bo recalled that many domestic officials still believed that Annan and other countries sent troops to North Korea just to follow Haihan and pretend to be powerful, but

In fact, they didn't even realize that their army was indeed far more powerful than their own.

Such a gap may be difficult to eliminate through the military assistance provided by Haihan. From Haihan's perspective, Annan is obviously a more reliable ally than North Korea and can provide it with greater help. And North Korea is now waiting for nothing.

Xing, the establishment of the new army still requires a large number of grassroots officers who have received military training to build the skeleton. In a short time, it will not be possible to send troops overseas to fight alongside the Haihan Army like the Annan Army.

"Your country is indeed unique in recruit training. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would like our country to send some officers to your country to learn from this experience." After the recruit training came to an end, Li Bo took the initiative to say to Zheng Bai

He said a few kind words to express his admiration for the training level of Annan's recruits.

Zheng Bai smiled and said: "Since your country has joined the military alliance led by Haihan State, it is reasonable to strengthen exchanges. You can send people over at any time. We open the door to welcome you!"

North Korea's joining of this military alliance was actually forced by the situation. If it weren't for the huge pressure from its evil neighbors in the north, North Korea would probably not give up on the Ming Dynasty as its suzerainty, let alone form an alliance with outsiders like Haihan. But as of now

, Li Pu felt lucky that he had managed to get it right. The benefits Haihan could bring to North Korea were obviously much more than the Ming Dynasty, which could not protect itself. At least he could see the hope of improving national power.

From Li Bo's point of view, he doesn't want North Korea to live by looking at people's faces like it has been for hundreds of years, and anyone from the surrounding countries can step on it. Since Haihan can make North Korea stronger, then it should

Seize this rare opportunity. Annan is undoubtedly an excellent example of success. This country was still in the midst of a civil war between the north and the south ten years ago. The situation at that time was a bit worse than the current North Korea. But holding on to Haihan's path

Even the Ming Dynasty no longer dares to underestimate its existence. Since Annan can do it, Li Bo believes that North Korea can also follow some of its practices, especially in the military field, Annan's army construction experience

It is obviously very suitable for North Korea, which has just started on this road.

Although Zheng Bai proactively offered the option of watching military exercises, Bai Kesi did not accept the offer in the end. After all, he only brought Li Bo to Annan for a temporary tour for special reasons, and it was not an official diplomatic visit.

It was too big and not suitable. So the second day after arriving in Tushan was mainly about daily training in the recruit camp, and then there was a visit to the camp facilities. The content was actually relatively dull.

But Li Fu didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, he felt that this way he could see the true situation of the Annan Army more clearly, and what he saw and heard did not disappoint him. At least he had seen the gap with his own country in terms of recruit training, and with his country

Getting to know Zheng Bai, a senior military official in Annan, was another powerful connection.

Of course, the most important thing is that this trip gave Li Xi more opportunities to communicate with Bai Kesi. It is not an easy thing to have an appointment with senior officials of the Haihan Executive Committee alone. Li Xi has to go there first.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Haihan submitted an application, and then the two parties discussed the meeting time and related topics. The finalized meeting opportunity is likely to be compressed into a short period of time, and the communication atmosphere will not be as relaxed and pleasant as it is now.

The Haihan Executive Committee is a very mysterious governing body to the outside world. Several high-ranking Haihan officials among them are the actual rulers of this emerging power. As for how they divide work and cooperate, and what each person's governance style is,

The outside world knew very little about this. It was only after Li Bo came to Haihan that he learned that this seemingly elegant Mr. Bai was in charge of the so-called industry in Haihan, which also included the manufacturing of weapons and equipment. North Korea wanted to

In terms of military strength, the rapid expansion of military strength requires the purchase of Haihan weapons and the introduction of Haihan ordnance technology. To achieve these, Baikes cannot be bypassed.

Li Bo hoped to learn more about Haihan's arms exports and military technology transfer and other related policies from Bai Kesi. In other words, how can Haihan provide stronger and wider military assistance to North Korea. This topic is in

Formal official talks are undoubtedly extremely sensitive, and it is very likely that multiple talks will be wasted without getting a positive response. But the current atmosphere is similar to traveling together, and it is obviously easier to have some informal talks and

Communicate and inquire about the information that interests him.

Therefore, although Li Bo took the visit to Annan's recruit training and military base seriously, he was actually at most half focused on it, and the other half was thinking about how to get some valuable information from Bai Kesi.

"Sir Bai, I just visited the Annan Army. I noticed that almost all of the standard weapons they have installed are produced by Haihan. It seems that the arms purchased by Annan from your country are quite large!" before returning to Tu.

On the carriage on the Shan Peninsula, Li Bo began to test Bai Kesi with words.

Bai Kesi has been in a high position for several years and has dealt with dignitaries from many countries. He is so sophisticated that he had already anticipated Li Bo's intentions as soon as he heard what he said. But since the other party took the initiative to mention it, he just took this opportunity.

Instill some awareness in Li Pu.

Bai Kesi responded: "Our country has been in alliance with Annan for nearly ten years. Annan submits a large number of arms orders to our country almost every year. This is why their military will be equipped with standard weapons produced by our country. Of course they order

The weapons are not necessarily of the highest quality. Your Majesty must have noticed just now that the matchlock guns used for recruit training are old models from ten years ago and have basically been eliminated in the regular army."

Li Pu thought that the Annan Army was eliminating old muskets, and our army had not begun to install muskets on a large scale. The gap was really too big. Then he asked: "The Annan Army spends a lot of money to purchase large quantities of arms every year, and other

Isn’t the amount of military expenditure extremely huge? If such emphasis is placed on military development, won’t the people’s livelihood in the country be affected by this?”

Bai Kesi explained: "Annang currently spends a lot of military expenditures on arms procurement every year, but it does not affect its people's livelihood. Moreover, the strong military strength has also brought Annan many practical benefits, such as the continuous expansion of trade routes and objects.

Expansion, the deterrence of surrounding enemy countries has brought more peace, and the Annan people believe that the benefits of military construction outweigh the disadvantages, so they will continue to invest and continuously improve their military strength."

Li Pu said thoughtfully: "Annan Kingdom is located in the South China Sea, close to your country, and has geographical advantages. Therefore, whether it is trade or military, it can easily obtain your country's support. This is an innate advantage that our country cannot imitate.

"

Bai Kesi said: "Your Majesty is right, Annan does have this advantage, but if your country can free up its hands to form a new army and expand foreign trade in the future, it will not be difficult to maintain close ties with our country. Liaodong and Zhejiang

, it’s not too far from your country, and it’s actually quite convenient whether you’re engaged in trade or military exchanges.”

Li Pu responded: "But this also requires support from your country. If more weapons and equipment can be sold to our country at a fair price, then surely what Mr. Bai said can be realized as soon as possible."

Bai Kesi said to himself that the young man still couldn't calm down, and his purpose was exposed so quickly. He responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about this issue. In fact, our country's arms exports have always been in short supply, and Sanya has them all year round.

Ambassadors from various countries queue up with money to wait for us to sell weapons, and the orders are paid half a year or even a year in advance. Not to mention price reductions, even if the supply sequence is adjusted, it will cause chaos. If the prince has any doubts about this

, you can ask your ambassador later about the story of Matalan and the Netherlands bidding for weapons orders in Sanya last year. Our country regards your country as an important ally, but everything must be fair, and we cannot offend just to favor your country.

Do you think this is true for other allied countries?"
