Chapter 1083 The Third Military Reform, Policy for New Recruits!

It is not just the village chief Chen Shen, the head of the security department Li Hu, and some managers in charge of public security and patrol who have discovered that the guards and soldiers are currently seriously lacking in combat effectiveness.

In fact, even the residents of the territory have sensed it.

There is no way. In peacetime, when there is no battle, the training results can still be used to cover up the shortcomings in combat effectiveness.

But in the chaotic wasteland, the only criterion for measuring combat effectiveness is the result of the battle.

Don't talk about your glorious achievements in the virtual world, and don't talk about breaking any records in daily training.

On the battlefield, either dizziness or sore legs and feet.

When you see the enemy, you become a soft bone. What kind of warrior can you be if you can't even hold the gun in your hand?

Especially in recent times, when the food supply in the territory is gradually no longer lacking.

The comfortable and cowardly mood inevitably began to fill.

The rejection of danger rooted in the human gene chain.

As a result, the guards and soldiers, not to mention dealing with the mole guys in the city, even the aliens who could rely on blood to suppress and beat a year ago, actually developed a fearful mood.

As a lord, after several large-scale battles, Su Mo gradually discovered this fact.

When he led, the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army were indeed fierce, and each of them was like a god of war.

But as long as he was not there, and someone else took over.

The combat effectiveness of the entire team was instantly reduced by 50%, and it was not even half of the normal state.

Su Mo thought that this was due to insufficient training before, and arranged more frequent virtual training.

But now, the two piles of reports submitted by Chen Shen on the desk made him stunned.

The training in the virtual world is useless at all.

No.

It should be said that the things trained in the virtual world are completely useless!

Bullets whizzed past their heads.

Knowing that they would not die, the guards wanted to rush out with their bodies to block all the bullets and create opportunities for their teammates.

But in the real world, who dares to block bullets?

When charging with the enemy, they would rather exchange injuries than retreat half a step, shouting that my life is in my own hands.

But when they arrived in the real world, they immediately groaned when they bruised their legs.

The gap is too big!

Looking through the suggestions provided by Chen Shen, as well as the various suggestions submitted by the Tianyuan Army and the village management.

It is said that good soldiers are made with "money", and there was no such condition to train them in the territory before.

But now there are millions of copper coins in the account.

Su Mo no longer hesitated and immediately decided to allocate 300,000 to start the third Tianyuan Army reform.

And this time, the ranks of combatants will not be classified in that vague way.

According to the suggestions collected below, almost 90% of people suggested that the modern method should be used directly.

Squad, company, battalion, regiment, brigade, division, army!

Clear at a glance, accurate and intuitive.

In addition, soldiers and guards also have a new rank standard.

Starting from the third-class private, the next level is: second-class private, first-class private, third-class sergeant major, second-class sergeant major, first-class sergeant major.

Starting from the third-level guard, the next level is: second-level guard, first-level guard, third-level police inspector, second-level police inspector, first-level police inspector.

Similarly, there will be a distinction between soldiers and officers, basically using the modern three-level ten-level system.

That is: lieutenant, colonel, general.

Even the training methods and rules for recruits, Su Mo also plans to hire experienced veterans to replicate.

Military training starts from the recruit company until they have combat effectiveness before joining the real battlefield.

In peacetime, red-blue confrontation or military exercises are still needed to increase experience. There may be wars every day in the chaotic wasteland in the future.

This is a mature system, and there is no need to innovate smartly.

It only takes a few large-scale battles to verify whether this system is useful.

"Three hundred thousand copper coins as start-up capital, at most three months, I need to see a group of soldiers with mature combat effectiveness."

"By the way, the Tianyuan Army's camp should not be set up in the village in the future, just move it to a deserted place for me."

Su Mo continued to make arrangements.

According to Pei Shao's suggestion, letting the Tianyuan Army soldiers go to the village to chat and eat after training every day is really too much to wear down their fighting spirit.

Even with a mature training system in modern times, it is still necessary to keep soldiers away from prosperous areas and go to the wilderness to hone their character.

There is no reason to come to the wasteland and provide soldiers with good food and drink, and then clean up their butts when the battle breaks out.

"Okay, do you need Zero to execute the message transmission now?"

"Transmit it. By the way, let Li Hu, Chen Shen, Chen Kai, Pei Shao, and Qi Qin ask these people to come. We will start the reform from this afternoon, and the reform must be completed before the next batch of refugees arrive."

Su Mo called more than a dozen people in a row, and Zero began to use radio waves to transmit information.

Taking advantage of the fact that there are only more than a hundred people in the Tianyuan Army and only 500 guards, it is a good decision to reform.

When the next refugees arrive, the reformed Tianyuan Army will be able to absorb new living forces immediately.

At present, the number of troops needed is not too large, and Su Mo initially set it at 3,000.

Only these 3,000 people can have a certain combat effectiveness, plus the Pingtan Army of Liehu and the Huo Army of Kevin.

The number of soldiers in the alliance will exceed 10,000, and occupying this small piece of land for self-protection is definitely enough!

January 31, Year 2 of the Wasteland Calendar, the last day of January.

In the silent changes, only a few people noticed that the Tianyuan military camp near Hope Village suddenly became silent.

The barracks that had been built to a certain scale were demolished, and no one knew where the training equipment inside was moved.

The military camp moved?

The residents of Hope Village were surprised for a while because they did not see the announcement information in the channel, but soon put it behind their minds.

Because in the village, the guard department, which already had a certain scale, also had personnel changes.

"Fuck, guards will only be selected from the Tianyuan Army in the future, and no more open recruitment?"

"All guards on duty will be assessed now, and those who fail will be directly dismissed, or participate in the next recruitment?"

"New recruits? Damn, come to the village entrance and take a look. The territory will have a new recruit policy in the future!"

"Let me see that all residents over 18 years old and under 45 years old have to serve in the military during the agricultural off-season?"

"Damn, is this true? Can we also serve in the army?"

The greatest benefit of direct management is fully reflected at this moment.

It took only one morning for the entire reform to be finalized and announced to the public.

Of course, this is also because the military reform has been brewing for several months.

Those various details have been deliberated several times by the corresponding person in charge until the dwarf siege incident broke out, making everyone realize that this drawback can no longer be ignored.

Only then, under the "anger" of Chen Shen, all the opinions were submitted to the office of the lord Su Mo.

At this time, hundreds of people have gathered at the entrance of the village, reading the military service notice that covered half of the wall, and nervously discussing the impact of various changes.

The most eye-catching one is probably the change to "military service".

The previous Tianyuan Army was a single selection. Because of the scarcity of various materials and the poor construction of the territory, the territory could not supply a large number of full-time soldiers for training, and could only select from talents with recognized combat effectiveness or excellent personal skills.

And the scope of selection is only qualified to join the guard department and become a formal guard.

Now, the military service has finally been changed to a range selection.

As long as the age meets the selection criteria and there is no obvious physical disability, you can enter the barracks for training.

This is so cool!

Not only the combat players widened their eyes and were full of surprise.

Even some life players were very surprised at this time, and they wished they could become a recruit tomorrow.

It can only be said that the danger of the wasteland has made everyone realize the necessity of becoming stronger. If an individual wants to survive in this chaotic era, it is not enough to rely on the protection of others.

There will always be accidents, and there will always be more strange disasters.

What if something happens in the territory?

Although the possibility is small, it cannot be completely ruled out.

Instead of expecting others to protect you when danger comes, it is better to train yourself to be that "other".

At that time, whether it is dealing with danger or finding opportunities in danger, it will not be as stretched as before.

"The training time for new recruits starts at two months, and the whole process must be closed training"

"Registration starts on March 1st, which means there is still a month to prepare?"

"Wait, can't I join the training in advance?"

"Yes, you can, but you have to pay 20 copper coins and 100 contribution points"

"If there is a war, I will be called back. I won't say anything. I will go to the barracks to register tomorrow."

"Wait, buddy, but your route is a cook?"

"What's wrong with a cook? Get out of here. Have you heard of the kitchen squad? I was a squad leader on Earth!"

"You are probably a pig farming squad leader~"

"Don't let me catch you in the barracks in the future, otherwise you will eat slop."

""

More and more people came over, and this explosive reform news began to spread and ferment.

In peacetime, some people really can't stand the hardship of military service.

But in the wasteland, what is this little hardship?

Think about it. I haven't had a full meal for ten days and a half months after crossing over, and I have to be on guard against aliens appearing from the corner at any time.

After having survived such an environment, how could they be afraid of a period of training?

Although Su Mo had already made an estimate of this grand occasion, he was still shocked when the statistics were collected at night.

Starting from March 1st, during the two-month military service, recruits do not need to pay any food expenses.

Of course, there is no salary.

But the price of signing up now is not low.

Twenty copper coins, converted into supplies, is basically equivalent to the food expenses of an adult for two months.

One hundred contribution points are even more expensive, which is a prerequisite for living in the underground city and enjoying various policies of the village.

With such an "expensive" fee, the number of people who chose to sign up as recruits on the first day reached 565!

Yes, the number is actually four times that of the current Tianyuan Army!

"Among them, there are mostly players who follow the scavenger route, but it is not difficult to understand. Many of them were ordinary people before. Even with the route bonus, they dare not really go outside the territory to explore. They lack real combat experience. And our recruit training this time is the same as the private coaching in Yuren Village. It is not only cheaper, but also larger in scale. There is even the possibility of staying in the army for development. No wonder they are so excited to sign up."

"The rest of the people, the largest proportion of them are retired soldiers who participated in compulsory military training in peacetime. Their idea is very simple, that is, they want to make achievements in this chaotic era."

Li Hu said the reason in a muffled voice.

Of course, there are several deeper reasons that he did not say.

If you join the recruit training in advance now, won't you become a veteran when more recruits enter next?

As the team size increases, the military rank and position upgrade will also give priority to veterans like them.

So it seems that a lot of money is spent now, but it is actually very profitable in the future.

Su Mo also knows this, but he also has a deeper thought.

The recruits selected in this way now are much better than the recruits who joined uniformly, whether in terms of training enthusiasm or personal strength.

Focusing on training these people in advance can not only reduce the burden on the Tianyuan Army soldiers, but also prepare for the future expansion.

"Go and prepare. Since they are all willing to join, we can't go back on our word and refuse."

"But the training standards and training intensity must be the most ruthless for me. In the future, the virtual realm will only be used as a post-war simulation and will no longer be open to recruits for training!"

"Yes!"

Li Hu nodded and walked away backwards.

It was not until he went out and Su Mo's face was hidden behind the wooden door that he could not suppress his excitement and punched the air fiercely.

It was finally here.

God knows how long he has been waiting for this day.

The previous separation of the military and the police allowed him to select ordinary people from the masses to join the team, and it took a lot of time to train them.

Not only was it time-consuming and laborious, but it also could not guarantee combat effectiveness.

This was simply unbearable for the soldiers of the Flower-Growing Family who had received complete modern training.

But now, after receiving Su Mo's decentralization, he has taken the initiative to resign from the position of Minister of the Guard Department.

New recruits battalion, battalion commander.

Yimao, a second lieutenant.

There are three companies under his command, 600 people!

This is Li Hu's new identity, and it is also his main responsibility in the next few months.

All this seems a bit sci-fi.

When he was on Earth, he was just a non-commissioned officer who retired after serving three terms.

And no matter what, a non-commissioned officer is just a soldier.

But when he came to the wasteland, he miraculously lived a "second life" and became an officer.

Looking at the gloomy sky of the wasteland, Li Hu's mood could not calm down for a long time.

Until a muffled thunder sounded, he turned his head as if awakened from a dream and saluted deeply to the gate of the underground city.

Visibly, a momentum was steaming from Li Hu.

When he turned around again, he was already walking like a dragon and a tiger, and there was no sign of the vicissitudes of his age over 40!
