Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 209

With the return of Ross, Bande and others, Jiangdu County

officials also brought good news that coal mining equipment, factory machinery, construction equipment, etc. were about to be sent to Jiangdu County.

In addition to this, they also brought another yellow-haired big nose.

Marcel, a French tank commander, returned home from the army after World War I and later took a job as a crew member to make ends meet.

A few days ago, Marcel's ship set sail from the lighthouse country and arrived in the Republic of China with a batch of dyes, machine parts and other materials ordered by 'Wal-Mart Foreign Company'.

While talking to the captain, Wayne accidentally learned that Marcel could drive tanks.

Immediately, he remembered one thing that Lin Hongfei had casually explained to him, looking for one or two people who could drive tanks and enter the independent regiment as an instructor of armored vehicles.

So, Wayne mentioned the matter to the captain and Marcel, and wanted Marcel to stay in the country and serve as an instructor for a while.

The captain doesn't matter, an ordinary crew member, one more is not more, one less is less, and Wal-Mart is also an old customer of their shipping company, which still has to be given.

As for Marcel, he came to the Republic of China for the first time, and the only thing Marcel knew about this strange country was heard during the war from a few Chinese workers who could speak French.

A strange country, Marcel naturally has no feelings, and he does not plan to stay here as an instructor, he has been away from his homeland for so long, he misses the baguette in his hometown.

But when Wayne took out a wad of dollars and handed it to Marcel and told him to go to Citibank in Qingcheng City to open an account now, Marcel wavered.

He loved baguettes, but he loved the green bills and the amiable Washington, Lincoln, and Hamilton on them.

So, he followed Ross, Band and others all the way to Jiangdu County.

After learning Marcel's identity, Lin Hongfei did not hesitate and immediately took him to his arms warehouse.

As two large tarpaulins were lifted, two brand-new French Renault FT-17 tanks appeared in front of Marcel.

Looking at this familiar model, as a retired tank commander, he recalled the scene of the rumble of motors and the sound of artillery on the battlefield.

"Mr. Marcel, I hope you can help me train a group of excellent tank soldiers, and these two tanks will be entrusted to you."

"Then, I will ask my deputy regiment commander to accompany you to select suitable cadets within the army." Lin Hongfei spoke to Marcel in fluent French.

For the county magistrate in front of him, Marcel was not only surprised by his youth, but also surprised by his fluent French, which made him feel a little relieved, and he could talk to the supreme governor of Jiangdu County in the future.

Marcel nodded: "No problem, but you need a French translator to accompany me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to communicate with your soldiers."

"I know that, so I'm going to have Mr. Ross temporarily serve as your French translator!" Lin Hongfei said with a smile.

Ross on the side also nodded at Marcel, who was a French immigrant from the Lighthouse Country, and it was also Ross who was responsible for translating Marcel along the way.

The matter was so decided, Lin Hongfei showed a satisfied smile.

These two tanks have been in the warehouse for a long time, and today Marcel is here, finally let them play a real role!

Soon, Guo Lang accompanied Marcel to select the first 15 members in the independent regiment to form the armored training brigade of the independent regiment, still with Lin Hongfei as the captain and Marcel as the instructor.

In the future, after passing the training and assessment, they will become the first armored force in Lin Hongfei's hands.

On the same day that the armored training brigade was established, outside a house in the county seat of Jiangdu County, a long line was formed, and the people in the procession were all young men in their eighteen, nine, and twenty years old without exception.

At the front of the line, there was also a sign with the words "Jiangdu County Police Station Police Recruitment Office".

After Wu Qiusheng received the task of rebuilding the Jiangdu County Police Station from Lin Hongfei, he and Lu Xiwa got busy together, and did not sleep or eat well for several days.

When they were in the capital, although they both served as officials in the police department, they had never worked so hard.

After all, this police station is a public police station, and it is not your own home, so why care.

But it's different now, this Jiangdu County is the territory of the eldest brother, and if you help the eldest brother raise police, that is, you are doing things for your own family, how can there be no reason not to work hard.

Therefore, after busy for many days, Wu Qiusheng openly recruited a group of young and strong young men with clean families to Jiangdu County to enter the police station as errands.

Knowing that he was going to the police station to work as an errand for the public, the young men naturally scrambled to sign up.

Although it is not clear how the police department is treated, everyone knows that although the county magistrate Lin is ruthless, he is really good to his own people and has no choice.

If nothing else, it depends on the fact that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment can eat three meals of meat a week, give out new clothes once a year, and do not deduct military salaries. The treatment of this police station is not much worse!

Therefore, there was a long queue at the recruitment office early, and these were people who came from the four miles and eight townships in the county to sign up, and it is said that some people were afraid of being late, and they ran to the neighborhood the day before yesterday to wait.

Looking at so many applicants in front of him, Wu Qiusheng decided to increase the strictness of the review again, after all, his first recruitment plan only prepared 120 places.

Thus, a recruitment campaign for police officers no less than when the Independent Regiment was recruited began.

In this recruitment, those who can read will be given priority.

Those who are illiterate are strictly examined on the basis of physical appearance and physical coordination.

For a whole day, when Wu Qiusheng, Lu Xiwa and the others were so tired that they almost collapsed on the ground, they finished reviewing all the young people who had signed up.

Finally, in the evening, they announced the final admission list on the walls on both sides of the police station's gate!

The young people who came to sign up flocked to it, reading and carefully searching for their names.

The illiterate ones pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the voice of the police officer reading the list in front of them, for fear of missing their names.

The selected person was naturally elated, and some excited directly danced: "Oh, I'm hit!" "

If you are not selected, you naturally look lonely, dejected, and regret that you did not perform better in the review.

However, after reading the list, the police officer also mentioned that he would continue to recruit police officers in the future, which gave more comfort to those who were not selected.

I can't choose it this time, so I'll come back next time!
