At one o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting meeting in the Xinhuaburg conference room was normal. The new commander of the New China Expeditionary Force and Liao Meng, the commander of the 3rd Company of the Army.

"A lot of the people from this group of East immigrants came from Japan, North Korea and even Chameng. I counted a while ago, and there were 265 Japanese, 62 Koreans, and 11 Chameng people. Most of these people were young and middle-aged men, and they had participated in wars. Especially those wandering Japanese wild samurai and their descendants, who had been wandering and wandering for so many years in the Southeast Asian countries, wandering and living in a life of silence. At this time, we only need to spend a very small price to collect them.

As the vanguard of the development of Tacheng coal mine," Liao Meng said, "What we have paid is only a set of clothing, a little food eaten by the free people, and the promise of giving them a certain amount of land after the matter is completed, so we can get a useful security force. Everyone, you must know that the 3rd Company of the Army is responsible for guarding the coastal defense fortress and cannot leave for a moment. Developing Tacheng coal mine to the south still requires an informal force. Therefore, please consider the plan I submitted for forming a 'stand-up team'."

Although Sergeant Kyle, Pei Suoning, Mo Dashan and others also attended the meeting, they only had the power to beside them. If no one asked them, they had no say. Therefore, at this time they could only sit aside and listen silently.

"Company Commander Liao, you are the decision on military affairs. I agree with your plan to form a Japanese wild samurai team, but do these people really have combat effectiveness?" After a little consideration, Shi Qinjie agreed to Liao Meng's proposal. He has always been very self-aware. He boldly let the people do what he is not good at. However, he still has some doubts about the combat effectiveness of those Japanese wandering samurai. After all, these people have been away for many years. Although some people have been fighting for others as mercenaries, more people have been engaged in low-intensity work such as bodyguards and hospital guards. Some people have even completely abandoned their identity as samurai and have started low-income jobs such as farmer and small merchant. It is really a problem to preserve some of this combat effectiveness.

"I briefly examined it. Some people are in good condition, some are careless, and some are not able to complete it." Liao Meng also told the truth, "But their foundation is still there. As long as you are given sufficient nutrition and good treatment, and with energy, it is not difficult to restore your strength of 50% or 60% of the past. I asked Sergeant Anda of our company to talk to them. They are generally eager to join our forward team and be loyal to the East Coast Republic. Moreover, their opponents are generally just descendants of the indigenous Malays, and their combat effectiveness is also very weak. I think the forward team's combat effectiveness is not good, so I can still handle them easily. I am very confident."

"The last question." Shi Qinjie seemed to think of something suddenly and said, "I heard that many of these people are Catholics, and their beliefs are very stubborn. Otherwise, they would not be forced to wander in a foreign land. This is not very consistent with our policies. Now the country has been promoting dereligion among various formal and informal armed forces. However, we are recruiting Christians on a large scale, which is somewhat inconsistent with the policy?"

Shi Qinjie was not afraid of anything when he said this openly. They were all atheists. Among the three attendees, Sergeant Kyle and Mo Dashan were both Buddhist believers, and Pei Suoning was even more atheists who believed in science, so he didn't want them to hear anything.

Liao Meng first pondered for a while, then said, "It doesn't matter much. To put it bluntly, these upcoming team members are just cheap cannon fodder. We have not officially set foot in the Tacheng area, and there have been only a small number of Betsimisalaka people carrying out limited land reclamation and planting. It can be said that the environment is still quite primitive. This means that the personnel we invest in development in advance will be greatly reduced, so it is a last resort to sending them there. As long as we keep their small guards and keep them in Xinhua Castle, we are not afraid of any tricks. In addition to the possible indigenous attacks, I think their survival rate will not be too high..."

There is actually no need to talk about this, everyone understands it. These Japanese people are actually just going to landmines for the East Coast people. First, let the Eight Banners slaves and the people from the stand-up team go to Tacheng area for development. When the development is almost done there, Xinhuaburg will find a way to mobilize manpower to support the construction, which can reduce the number of staff reduction due to illness.

"Okay, then let's do it like this!" Shi Qinjie decided to settle the matter. "Next, let's talk about the establishment of an offshore fishing team with former fishermen among the Ming Dynasty immigrants. Well, there is also a matching seafood processing factory."

...

After the meeting, Liao Meng immediately surrounded the staff and adjutants to a rain shelter outside the city. Here, about 250 men were conducting simple military rank training under the supervision of several East Coast officers. These people were covered in wind and frost, but their expressions were still tough. After all, it was not easy for them to live in displaced for so long, and then cross the sea to Xinhua Fort. They were almost eliminated by life for a long time.

They were uniformly dressed in blue jeans and fur hats on their heads. At first glance, they looked like a standard South African Eight Banners warrior. In fact, in the eyes of the East Coast people, the status of the Standing Team is almost the same as that of the Eight Banners warriors. Are they all cannon fodder? The only difference is that the people in the Standing Team are all free people. If they do well, they can still have the chance to become a regular and obtain a formal military status. However, the Eight Banners warriors have no chance of revolving in the Eight Banners system. Not to mention military status, they are difficult to obtain East Coast nationality - unless they are particularly outstanding talents, they have the possibility of obtaining East Coast nationality.

There are 250 people in this forward team, of which more than 180 are Japanese samurai and their descendants. In addition, there are 39 Koreans, 11 Chammen, and 20 relatively strong Ming people selected to make up 250. The official number of this unit has also been confirmed, namely "The 1st Squadron of the Standing Team of the New China Security Command of the East Coast Republic of China", which is usually referred to as "The 1st Squadron of the Stand Team" or simply called it "The 1st Squadron of the Stand Team"

The commander of the forward team has also been decided. With the recommendation of Lieutenant Liao Meng, the commander of the New China Expeditionary Army, Shi Qinjie, the commander of the New China Security Commander, officially appointed the Army Sergeant Anda 15 as the commander of the forward team and the captain of the squadron of the 1st Squadron. As for his position as the platoon leader of the army, he was temporarily appointed by the deputy platoon leader. Anda 15 is a Japanese lower-level samurai family. He was poor since childhood and traveled to many places. Finally, he came to the East Coast. After many years of hard work, he has now gained a considerable status and wealth. His inspirational experience is simply the best target for the members of the forward team in front of him, and the best place for their "East Coast Dream". Moreover, the most important thing is that Anda 15 is square, loyal to his duties, and has a strong sense of identity with the East Coast Republic. Therefore, it is perfect for him to lead the forward team to expand territory for the East Coast Republic.

"Andajun, I will hand it over to your hand." Liao Meng walked to Anda Fifteen, who was still wearing a dark blue East Coast Army uniform, and looked at him and said, "You are still a member of the army. I hope you can uphold your own position, be loyal to the country, lead the forward team, and escort the smooth development of Tacheng Coal Mine."

"Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, the ministry will fulfill its obligations!" Anda 15 said with a firm look on his face, "The 250 soldiers of the forward team promised to complete their tasks. If they did not do it, they would be willing to commit suicide and apologize."

"Okay! I believe you!" Liao Meng patted Anda Fifteen's shoulder and praised: "Such an energetic army is really comparable to a regular army. By the way, are there any special requirements for weapons?"

"The current team is 250, with four squads (60 people per squad) and one squadron headquarters. According to the plan, the four squads will be composed of two spear squads, one Pig Torch (melee with samurai swords) and one Musket Squad. The Security Command has distributed 120 standard three-meter spears, 120 sets of breastplate and 120 sabers to us, and 60 rifles are still not sent down." Anda Fifteen said with a little hesitation, "I hope the Commander-in-Chief can solve the problem as appropriate."

"Well, I already know this question." Liao Meng said quickly, "I was originally planning to let you use the step bow as the main long-range output force, but considering the humid and hot climate in the tropical areas, the bowstring is not easy to maintain, and the power will be greatly reduced. Therefore, I suggested to the Security Command to equip you with the old 32-B rifles in the arsenal. Commander Shi has agreed. Don't worry, the 60-stop rifles will be delivered to you in the afternoon. After all the equipment is complete, you have to hurry up and train. Not only do you have to practice your personal skills, but you can't lose this tactical cooperation. You are also an old corps, so I won't say much about this. Anyway, you just do it yourself. I only care whether the troops can fight. Do you understand?"

"The ministry understands!" Anda Fifteen stood attentively with his legs together, saluted and said.

"Okay, go and train the troops. You can't stop even if it rains!" Liao Meng also replied with a military salute and said seriously.

In the following days, the forward team began to carry out a series of training inside and outside Xinhua Castle. These people had good foundations. At this time, they could keep up with their nutrition. In addition, they gave them the promise of future land distribution, all of them burst out with infinite potential, and the team's combat effectiveness and morale were also rising.
