Chapter 2927
Compared with the senior officials who repeatedly considered the pros and cons, the soldiers who were inspected in the Cavite base today did not have the slightest fear of the upcoming military operation, but were mostly excited.
Similar to the situation in various overseas regions at this stage, the source of troops for the Manila garrison is mainly from the local area.However, when Haihan attacked Manila, most of them were just kids who had just begun to remember things. Their knowledge of that war came from the word of mouth of the older generation and the official information. recorded.
Luzon Island has been at peace for a long time. These young people have not participated in real combat operations after enlisting in the army, and they only perform some ordinary tasks of maintaining local law and order on weekdays.The combat missions that are eligible for meritorious service and awards seem to have occurred thousands of miles away, and the relevant news can only be read from the military newspapers within the army.
But since he has chosen to eat this bowl of rice, who doesn't want to kill the enemy and make meritorious service in the army and become a respected combat hero?
The Ministry of Defense publishes the list of criminals every year, and the Manila Garrison has disappeared from this list for a long time.The last record of meritorious service awarded by the Ministry of National Defense was four years ago when an officer of the [-]th Division of the Chinese Army died in the line of duty while saving lives in a local flood.
As for meritorious service in combat, it seems to have to be traced back to the earlier military operations to eliminate the local hostile tribal armed forces.But such an old almanac is obviously not an achievement that the soldiers in the Luzon region can show off.
Without military exploits, one would naturally not receive treatment such as upgrading equipment, expansion and upgrading.Even in the big contests within the Haihan Army, the Luzon region seems to have always played a small and transparent role, and has not achieved any outstanding results.
After so many years of obscurity, now finally has the opportunity to perform. Even without a few high-ranking officials wasting their saliva to mobilize, the garrison has already shown a very high desire to fight.
As the youngest major staff officer of the Fourth Army Division, Feng Xingbang was also very excited about this.
Unlike most of the soldiers here, he is not of local origin, but was appointed from the Annan Garrison to serve in Manila through the talent exchange program within the Ministry of Defense.Of course, to put it bluntly, this is actually the arrangement of his father Feng Annan. Although there are no opportunities for meritorious deeds in the Luzon region, peace is not a bad thing, at least there is no need to worry about safety issues.Spending a few years here to enrich his employment experience will also benefit Feng Xingbang's future development.
But as a soldier, who can resist the temptation of military merit?Of course, Feng Xingbang did not want to spend his tenure in the Fourth Army Division without incident. The value of his existence as a combat staff officer can only be reflected in the implementation of military operations.
"Brother, here is our chance to show off!" Someone whispered beside Feng Xingbang, although the voice was small, it was hard to hide the excitement.
Without turning his head to look, Feng Xingbang knew that the speaker was his colleague Juan in the General Staff Department, and responded in a low voice: "Don't be too happy, I think General Ha is not very satisfied with today's training. Look at his expression, it's always gloomy."
Juan is not a Han Chinese, but a Hispanic naturalized citizen.His parents, both tailors, immigrated to Manila from Spain about 30 years ago.After Haihan captured Manila, the couple had no way to leave here, so they could only choose to continue to live here.
Juan was only five years old when the war broke out, and all the cultural education he received afterwards came from Haihan, so he completely leaned towards Haihan's side for his own identity.Although the appearance of the deep-eyed and high-nosed people is completely different from that of the Han people, in Manila, there are a large number of naturalized people who have European faces like Juan, but speak Haihan Mandarin. There are also some Hispanic soldiers in the garrison.
If we say that at the beginning of the occupation of Manila, Haihan still had more restrictions on the appointment of Hispanic personnel, then by Juan’s generation, the treatment was basically the same as that of Han Chinese. There are no strict requirements anymore.
Juan did not inherit his parents' tailoring business, but chose to join the army at the age of 16. He has been in the army for eight years so far, which can be said to be quite senior at a young age.Juan was quick-witted, and was appreciated by Xiao Liang for his outstanding performance in a military exercise. He sent him to the Sanya Army Academy for a year of further study, and when he came back, he went directly to the General Staff Department, earlier than Feng Xingbang was transferred to Manila. However, the military rank is still one level lower than that of Feng Xingbang, who has a background.
Today, three senior officials came to the Cavite base to inspect the preparations of the troops. Juan and Feng Xingbang followed behind as escorts. When they needed to explain the content of the exercise or convey orders, they would come forward to complete it.
Of course, this errand is also a good opportunity to observe his words and deduce his intentions.Feng Xingbang was originally born in the upper class, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, so he naturally understands the importance of these details.Although Juan is smart, but after all, he is only from the grassroots, with limited knowledge, and his understanding of managing personal relationships is indeed a little weaker.
After being reminded by Feng Xingbang, Juan noticed this, and responded immediately: "General Ha is strict with his subordinates. When the brothers of the Ha family were still in the army, they were often trained in public."
Feng Xingbang said: "After all, the local troops haven't fought for many years. It is estimated that General Ha is also worried about the performance of the troops after they go to the battlefield."
Feng Xingbang's deduction is almost true, but Juan's opinion is very optimistic: "Even if he has never fought a war, and he has not lost his usual training, he is still better than the Spaniards."
Feng Xingbang said with a smile: "If this really happened with the Spaniards, would you feel embarrassed?"
Juan raised his finger and pointed to the rank badge on his military uniform and said, "Are you kidding me? I am an upright Haihan soldier! If I don't fight with them, where will my military achievements come from?"
Feng Xingbang gave him a thumbs up to express his admiration. He believed that Juan's answer was from the bottom of his heart, and this guy really didn't treat himself as an outsider.As for the Spaniards who are of the same ancestor as Juan, in his eyes, they are probably just a bunch of military exploits waiting to be captured.
But can these troops at the Cavite base really play the combat effectiveness expected by the big shots?Feng Xingbang is actually not as optimistic as Juan. There is still a big difference between the usual drills and the actual situation on the battlefield. The lack of actual combat experience is the biggest shortcoming.Fortunately, the opponent's strength does not seem to be much stronger, and it should not be enough to pose a substantial threat to the Haihan army.
