Yang Yi's ability is the best among the entire Zhang family army, and it is precisely an excellent stepping stone like him that has accomplished Zhang Meng's heroic image and kingly style that shocked the Zhang family army.

Although Yang Yi is a arrogant person, Zhang Meng still admires his personal abilities very much.

Zhang Meng general Yang Yi directly called him to his commander's office, talked to him for about half an hour, and learned about Yang Yi's true background identity.

Zhang Meng admired Guo Songling very much. If it weren't for Guo Songling, the Fengtian army would not have won the final victory in the Zhifeng War. It is possible to transform the Fengtian army, which was born into a bandit, into a combat force that was no less than the national army in a short period of time, and to clearly realize the advanced combat ideas of aircraft and tanks in modern wars and put them into practice in the Fengtian army. It can be said that Guo Songling made an indelible contribution. Yang Yi, who was able to serve as an important position in the guard battalion commander under Guo Songling, who was famous for his harshness, believed that he must have outstanding abilities.

"After completing all subject training and assessments, come to my guard company to be the deputy company commander!"

When he heard Zhang Meng's words, Yang Yi was stunned for a long time. He knew that the Zhang family army did not want officers from the warlords. He thought that his stingy soldier would definitely be driven out by the Zhang family army after he was exposed, but he never thought that he would be appreciated by Zhang Meng and gave him the position of deputy company commander of the guard company.

For Yang Yi, this was a great thing that a pie fell from the sky, and he was naturally grateful to Zhang Meng.

After Yang Yi left, Zhang Meng's expression suddenly darkened.

Zhang Meng was naturally happy to establish prestige in front of the entire army and to obtain Yang Yi as a good general, but he felt dangerous from the fact that Yang Yi concealed his identity and mixed into the Zhang family army.

In this era, spies and spies were particularly abundant, and the major warlords had installed many spies in each other's military system.

Although Zhang Meng believes that he is already very careful, it may not attract the attention of some forces.

So Zhang Meng called shadow.

"Immediately conduct a survey of all the personnel of the entire army and the craftsmen recruited. Any suspicious person must be closely monitored and investigated. No one on the island without my handwriting shall leave without authorization."

"Yes!" Shadow took the order and immediately launched a large-scale anti-espionage investigation.

After this contest, a fire ignited in the hearts of more than 60,000 officers and soldiers of the Zhang family army. They aimed to practice hard every day, no longer complained, no longer talked back to the instructors and commanders, but asked humbly, because they all knew in their hearts that they would go to the battlefield sooner or later, and they had to work harder for their own lives and future.

Sweat more often in normal times and less bleeding during wartime.

Huge propaganda banners filled the various training grounds, and the officers and soldiers did not understand them before. Since they had seen Zhang Meng's power, they only understood the true meaning of this when they heard these words speak from Zhang Meng's mouth.

What is a real army?

The more than 60,000 officers and soldiers did not realize until then that if the Zhang family army was considered a real army, then the warlord troops they had stayed before were not considered an army at all. Those warlord troops were just miscellaneous troops that scared the people with guns and cannons.

In fact, the Chinese warlords in the 1920s and 1930s were indeed the world-recognized level of miscellaneous military, which is not an exaggeration.

The troops were on the right track, and Zhang Meng put a big stone in his heart.

However, the current Zhang family army looks a little bit short of the real army, and it still lacks a majestic military cap and uniform.

In Zhang Meng's eyes, the military uniforms of various countries in this era were too rustic and could not keep up with Zhang Meng's eyes, so he had to copy the handsome and comfortable 07 military uniforms and camouflage combat uniforms decades later.

Of course, Zhang Meng wanted to use digital combat uniforms, but unfortunately he couldn't use them in this era and the cost was too high, so he gave up for the time being and only chose camouflage uniforms of military green, sea blue and desert sand to facilitate his troops to suit the combat needs of different environments.

Only changes have been made to individual details, such as the large cap and the cap badge of the steel helmet were changed to a fierce dragon head, giving people a strong visual impact and symbolizing the successor of the dragon.

The eaves representing military ranks are divided into soft and hard. Hard eaves are used as regular clothes, and soft eaves are used as combat training uniforms. The eaves are divided into finer differences because eaves must reflect the size of the military rank.

General Zhang Meng is divided into 8th grade and 27th grade:

Grand Marshal of Land, Sea, Air and Space: Supreme Commander of the Army;

Marshal: The Supreme Military Operation Commander appointed during the war to command the Front Army, Army Group, and Naval Battle Group;

General: Five-star general, general, lieutenant general, major general, brigade general;

School officer: colonel, lieutenant colonel, major;

Captain: Captain, Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant;

Warrant officer: Level 5 Warrant officer, Level 4 Warrant officer, Level 3 Warrant officer, Level 2 Warrant officer, Level 1 Warrant officer;

Non-commissioned officer: first-class sergeant chief, second-class sergeant chief, third-class sergeant, sergeant, sergeant, corporal;

Soldiers: Private, Private, Private;

The reason why warrant officers and non-commissioned officers are divided into multiple levels is that these two levels of officers are the real powerful factions in the army and have a huge impact on the combat effectiveness of an army.

The new military uniform designed by Zhang Meng was soon put into production in Australia recently. Because Zhang Meng was willing to spend money, in less than two months, 300,000 sets of regular clothes and training clothes arrived at Wawawu Island.

After the new army's uniforms were distributed, the entire Zhang family army was completely renewed. For these officers and soldiers who had worked in various warlords, this uniform was more than ten times more powerful than their previous ones. They felt very grand when worn, and even compared with the army of the great powers, they wanted to feel proud.

A mere set of cool military uniforms could convince them. Zhang Meng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although these 60,000 people had been trained by him to become elite soldiers, they were the strong men captured by the warlords at the beginning, and they could never escape the limitations of the times.

Two months later, various military equipment produced and purchased by Haines Arms Company arrived on Wawawu Island one after another, and Zhang Meng ordered people to distribute the weapons and equipment together.

The M1 submachine gun produced by Haines Company has become a standard equipment for Zhangjiajun's individual soldiers. This submachine gun is much more useful than the Thomson submachine gun and is deeply loved by officers and soldiers.

There are also 60 newly arrived SRA tanks, 120 M2 heavy machine guns, 72 80 infantry guns, 36 105 mountain cannons and 18 155mm heavy howitzers, etc., which are all good things that make officers and soldiers drool when they see them.

After changing into a new military uniform and receiving brand new weapons and equipment, the entire Zhang family army suddenly became murderous.

After another month of live-fire equipment exercises, the 12 regiments of the Zhang family army ushered in the annual military assessment.

After strict selection, Zhang Meng formally established the Zhang family army, with the 12th Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Two Divisions. The 30,000 people of the first division were the elite, and they were responsible for the combat readiness and defense tasks of Wawawu Island. The 2nd Division temporarily served as a reserve division, serving as the garrison force of the fortress, naval, army and air bases.

Since all the military and civilian facilities on Wawawu Island have not been completed, these troops conduct military training and cultural courses every morning, and in the afternoon they join the urban construction army on Wawawu Island, working with other workers.

Zhang Meng asked his troops to take tutoring cultural courses, first to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the troops, and second to lay a solid foundation for expanding the troops in the future. In this era, it can be said that you can become an official by knowing words, so the importance of cultural courses can be imagined.

Letting the troops join the urban construction is, first, considering the insufficient staff for large-scale construction of the city on Wawawu Island, and second, letting the officers and soldiers of the troops participate in the construction of their homes, including their own houses, their children's schools and other facilities, which will make them love this place even more and protect their homes at all costs when facing the enemy in the future.
