Chapter 32 The Sword of the Empire (2)
The First Division of the Royal Imperial Guard.
Commander Li Yuanhong looked at Zheng Yu, with a faint sense of relief in his eyes. Zheng Yu was used to being looked at by these old soldiers with the look of looking at the young master, but he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "This tea party is actually just about exchanges and exchanges of feelings. The war is imminent. The First Division of the Imperial Guard, as the highest strategic reserve team in the empire, must be used at the most dangerous and critical moments. I want to share my heart with the brothers below. Commander Li, don't think too much."
Li Yuanhong smiled and said, "I didn't think about anything, but you decided the candidate anyway. I am confident that these kids will never slander me for deducting military pay."
Zheng Yu knew the other party was joking.
Deducting military pay? Not to mention the Royal Imperial Guards, the National Defense Forces do not have this problem. The political instructor supervision system of various troops, the system of sergeant management of finance, the system of mutual restraint with officers, financial disclosure, military chief officers are separated from military service, military financial audit system, general staff investigation team system, and many soldiers choose the government to send a fixed proportion of military pay back to their hometowns and hand over the veterans in the peasant association to their homes. Many soldiers choose the government to directly store military pay in their own bank accounts. Many troops even take compulsory measures to avoid soldiers spending money randomly and not saving after they have been discharged from the army to establish a family.
To be honest, the Royal Guards, but the National Defense Forces only have a salary level of only half that of the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty. The lowest level of privates was 7 Huayuan per month. However, the various troops of the Qing Dynasty, even the new army, were inevitably deducted. As for the military service, the salary of the Qing Dynasty, was deducted by 70% and 80% of the salary of the Economic Cooperation, and even 20% to 50% of the people received. Although the salary of the lowest level of the National Defense Forces was equivalent to the name of the late Qing Dynasty, it was deducted by no means, and after all, it was much higher than that of ordinary workers who paid four or five Huayuan per month.
Soldiers also have a complete welfare system, especially after demobilization, with work arrangements, such as joining the railway troops, road construction teams, or joining the border town army. Even if they return to their hometown, they have a great hope of being elected to the peasant association. So let alone the Imperial Guards, even the soldiers of the National Defense Forces still attracted many outstanding young people, and they were no longer the inferior professions that were despised by others in the late Qing Dynasty.
As for the officers of the National Defense Forces, even the lowest lieutenant can get a monthly salary of 20 Chinese Yuan, which is already a large income for a young man in his early twenties. As for the major of the National Defense Forces, the monthly income is even 50 Chinese Yuan, and the major general is as high as 150 Chinese Yuan, and there are extremely generous benefits. It can be said that as long as the officers at the middle level or above in the Defense Forces system, they will definitely enter the middle class of the empire and support three generations of grandparents and grandchildren and one family.
Zheng Yu has a good impression of Li Yuanhong.
In real history, although this person was a little ambitious and sometimes he was inevitably a little arrogant, he was still considered a great fortune. Especially when he loved soldiers, his mind was open-minded, and his lifestyle was also a combination of Chinese and Western style, which set a precedent for the Republic of China at that time. Without his protection, the ** Party of Wuhan New Army had been wiped out, so how could there be the Wuchang Uprising? Such a person became the emperor's confidant in this time and space, and Zheng Yu didn't feel too strange about it.
In less than half an hour, the people Zheng Yu ordered on the roster arrived one after another. Zheng Yu would talk about it first when he arrived.
The first one that aroused his interest was Zhao Bingyuan, the director of the Division Field Hospital. After chatting for a while, Zheng Yu was surprised to learn that this person was a medical student sent from the Town* system in the 1980s. He majored in clinical medicine at the University of London and obtained a doctorate in surgery. After returning to China, he worked as a teacher at the Imperial Medical University for several years. Five years ago, the Hailanpao tragedy caused a fever in joining the army. This person joined the military, joined the military medical system of the Royal Imperial Guard, and became the top leader of the medical system of the First Imperial Guard Division. He also served as a visiting professor at the Imperial Medical University. His life was very comfortable.
However, Zheng Yu knew at first sight that the other party was probably a kind of medical quirk. The eyes behind the glasses were focused and fanatic, and the hands were as stable as robots on the assembly line. If it were in his previous life, Zheng Yu would not dare to be alone with such a character with a bit of Dr. Hannibal's style, but fortunately, today it was a bright and bright world, so he enthusiastically grabbed the other party's hand and asked about his well-being.
"I don't have many requests," Zhao Bingyuan said angrily, "just three."
Li Yuanhong's face turned red slightly, but he could only stare at him. Obviously, there was no way to do this Dr. Zhao.
"First, I need a large number of experienced nurses, even students from medical and nursing schools, to receive some training as soon as possible to serve as reserve forces. Once the troops enter the battlefield, they will not be able to be busy with the current number of people. At present, the current wartime organization is still not enough for medical care."
"Second, I'm very worried that during the Sino-Japanese War of trench feet, the trench warfare will be short and the hinterland will be fought in the heartland, which is not that serious. This time it is likely that it is in the rainy season and the north, and the trench feet may be extremely serious. Is there any way for the medical community?"
"The third and thirteenth preparations, I need more. We have experimented recently. They are really effective. This thing not only prevents wound infection, but also has a certain effect on gangrene caused by trench disease."
Zheng Yu was worried.
In terms of nurses, the Royal Guards are not bad. Although there are only six military doctors and twelve male nurses in the regiment-level unit, the number of military doctors in the division field hospitals and health teams has reached 40, nearly 200 nurses. However, the soldiers of the Royal Guards are also valuable assets, and giving priority to medical and nursing power is a matter of course. However, if the National Defense Forces are more favorable than the other, they must consider it carefully.
The Royal Guards are generally used as strategic decisive forces, especially the First and Second Divisions of the Royal Guards, which are the highest reserves. In this case, there is no need to consider the battle of attrition and a large-scale trench disease. In fact, this problem, according to Zheng Yu's memory, seems to have not even solved the US military until World War II. As for World War I, it is simply the first nightmare of the entire European army. Zheng Yu naturally does not expect China to have any good solutions. At most, it is just to find a way to drain, dry more clothes, shoes and socks, and prepare more supplies.
But what is this No. 13 preparation? It seems that I haven’t seen it yet when I was in the Northeast?
Seeing Zheng Yu's confused eyes, Zhao Bingyuan seemed to realize some problems and said softly: "This is a bactericidal agent that has just been assigned to the General Reserve Team. It can be injected intravenously or orally. The tests were very effective, but the number was too small. Because it was confidential, it was first distributed to the Gyeonggi troops. Now we should start sending it to the troops in the north."
Zheng Yu was a little surprised and thought to himself, could he have even produced antibiotics? That would be too amazing, right?
"Pharm No. 13? What exactly is it?"
"In the past, colleagues from Imperial Medical University talked to me about some research on surgical anti-infection agents. At that time, they mentioned one direction, which was the structure of aminobenzenesulfonamide, which was said to be effective. I saw that this No. 13 drug really looked like that thing."
Zheng Yu felt aroused in his heart, sulfonamide, and saw sulfonamide again. The story of sulfonamide was learned from the "People's Struggle". This thing seems to have been synthesized in the early 20th century in his previous life, but it was not considered for medicine. Later, the medical value of this thing was discovered, not only turning a big corner, but also purely coincidental. It was probably the early 1930s when the Germans created a red dye, which was sometimes used for sterilization of wound infections, but in the laboratory test tubes, the sterilization effect was very poor. Later, a German chemist used this dye to treat his daughter's sepsis, and the result was very good. Later, someone suggested that it might be that a certain component in the dye was combined with something in the human body to have a sterilization effect, and finally sulfonamide was extracted. After a circle, people found that someone had synthesized this compound thirty years ago...
"Is it a laboratory product or a mass production?" Zheng Yu thought about it and asked.
"I'm not very clear about this, the amount I got is not large." Zhao Bingyuan said.
Zheng Yu thought to himself that it seemed that he would go back and learn more carefully. If this thing is used well in this era, it would definitely be a killing weapon. It is not about making money, but about saving the lives of millions of people.
What is a field hospital? In Zheng Yu's impression, it is that a military doctor cut off the injured limbs with a big axe, threw them onto a pile of corpses like a pile of firewood, and then applied some iodine to bandage them. Now with sulfonamide, at least sepsis, infection, and gangrene, the natural enemies of wounded soldiers, have finally some solutions, right?
The next one that interested him was a battalion commander. To be precise, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the First Division of the Royal Imperial Guards and Lieutenant Colonel Nwynjian. Since the same level of the Imperial Guards are far greater than that of the National Defense Forces, the rank of officers is naturally higher, and their salary is twice as high. These people have an innate sense of honor and superiority, which also makes the officers of the Royal Imperial Guards not only have the strength of soldiers, but also have a little bit of the temperament of early entrepreneurial aristocrats. However, the battalion commander in front of him made him feel some unique taste.
"Lieutenant Colonel," Zheng Yu asked carefully, "Why do you feel a little different from others?"
NYONG Jian was in a state of disgrace and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I am... I am from the National Defense Forces. In the 18894-1895, Your Majesty saw that he was brave in fighting, so he specially recommended him to the Land University. He came out and entered the Imperial Guard and was promoted to the battalion commander."
"Tisheng is not an ordinary person," Li Yuanhong said with a smile. "In the 18894-1895, he was just a corporal of the National Defense Force. When blocking Langfang, his commander was sacrificed. He stepped forward to organize a counterattack and held his position. Until the end, he sucked the main force of the Japanese army and helped the Imperial Guard troops complete the detour. After the war, His Majesty specially submitted it to the University of Lu to study. The troops he led were always the sharp swords of the First Division. Speaking of combat power, except for the Hanoi Camp and the Honghe Camp, it was his camp."
"The real combat power must be compared on the battlefield." Nurynian said solemnly, "Your Majesty simply takes the marks to the army, and the marks will naturally be punished with death."
Zheng Yu looked at this Nyu Yongjian and felt more and more that this person was loyal and righteous to die for his confidant, and he couldn't help but feel a little more in his heart.
Zheng Yu smiled and said, "Only the tigers of the Imperial Guards, only the generals of the bears and tigers like Commander Song Qing and Brother Tisheng can control them. I admire them."
Niao Yongjian looked at the commander secretly, and saw that the man was just smiling, with implicit encouragement in his eyes, and quickly stood at attention and saluted Zheng Yu: "Your Highness is too much... Niao Yongjian is a soldier of the Imperial Guard, and everything is obeyed. Your Highness has his life and will never refuse to die."
Zheng Yu thought about it, took out his gun and handed it to Ng Yongjian.
"Tisheng, I clicked a few people on the roster, and you are here, which shows that you and I have a fate. A gun is a weapon and a sharp weapon. This gun has been following me for a year, and I may not be able to go into battle to drink the blood of the captains, which makes Feng Tangyi regret. Today, if I see Tisheng, I will be a souvenir, so I will commemorate you. I hope you will return with honor and reunion. On the day of triumphant success, you and I will be together to make a drunken plan."
Newynn took the exquisite Browning pistol, and tears flashed in his eyes.
Zheng Yu fell in love with these simple and straightforward soldiers.
The trekking with various forces in Beijing, the repeated intrigues, the roundabout way of talking carefully, and the trembling state of mind, the trembling state of mind, really made him a little tired.
During this period, in addition to solving those major events in Beijing, he respected his parents, and taking time to talk with the Finnish loli who accompanied Zhang Zimeng to the palace to have tea and chat with the queen, he ran to the suburbs when he had nothing to do. In addition to getting along with the Imperial Guards, he was also very familiar with the National Defense Forces parade troops.
The arrangements of the military parade have been revised. Using Zheng Yu and the opinions of these staff members around him, it can be said to be impregnable. However, there is a missing unit in the military parade that Zheng Yu has always longed to see, that is, the Marines Special Battalion. This unit is said to be a secret of the navy and the most elite core force of the Marines. Zheng Yu knew that this unit was the ace in Xu Fan's hand, and probably not a simple, well-equipped and well-trained. In fact, since Zheng Yu had some speculation about Xu Fan, he began to have aspirations for this unit, thinking that this was a group wearer? Will there be heavy snipers like m82 hidden? Is there any martial arts? But he and Xu Fan proposed to see it, but Xu Fan just smiled.
The power sent by the emperor to Zheng Yu was not only the imperial guards in front of the Chinese Palace who had followed him on a visit, but also a platoon of the "Honghe Camp" of the First Battalion of the First Regiment of the Royal Imperial Guards, the battalion was also the founding force of the Imperial Guards, which was as famous as the "Hanoi Camp" of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment. It is absolutely ace and serves as the emperor's palace guards for many years. Since the members of the troops regularly communicate with the Imperial Guards in the Border Military Region, and conducting Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi every year, the combat effectiveness of this unit has not been eliminated in the numerous palace bans, but is more like a long-sharpened steel knife, ready to sheath and drink blood at any time.
Zheng Yu was very satisfied.
