Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

"There are already two thousand people?" Liu Kangding looked at Wang Hua in disbelief.

Su Zhengyang had anticipated this. The Sanjiang County, together with the surrounding towns and villages, has a total population of more than 300,000. The soldiers of the original security corps were scattered in various towns and villages or the county, so it was not surprising that they could bring so many people.

From Liujia Village alone, nearly seventy people were brought here by Liu Ershun.

Under the leadership of Su Zhengyang, the security team grew from just two or three cats and kittens to a full staff in less than a month.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Recruiting soldiers. Successfully expanded the security team to 2,000 people. The system will issue the following rewards to the host]

[Refined high-quality flour, 50 tons, refined high-quality rice, 30 tons. Field medical team of 12 people, including two doctors and ten nurses.]

[Penicillin, 120 sticks, simple first aid kits for field hospitals, 500 sets. 3000 boxes of canned beef, six cans per box.]

[Please ask the host whether you confirm to receive this system reward. 】

Su Zhengyang was excited and communicated with the system in his mind: "Receive this system reward immediately."

[Ding! Successfully received. The system will deliver the reward materials to the host's location within six hours.]

Su Zhengyang immediately calmed himself down and gathered together the security team of more than 2,000 people.

The soldiers formed a square formation with a nervous mood, waiting for Su Zhengyang to give a speech standing on the stands.

"From now on, you will be my soldiers, Su Zhengyang. As long as you train hard and fight bravely on the battlefield in the future, I promise that you will have meat for every meal and money for every month. Next, Deputy Head Liu Gangding will explain to you the military regulations of our security group!"

The soldiers below began to applaud enthusiastically under the leadership of the veteran. Liu Gangding marched up to the stands, saluted Su Zhengyang with a standard military salute, turned around, and began to speak to the soldiers below in a sonorous and powerful voice.

After Liu Gangding finished his speech, Su Zhengyang spoke again: "From today on, our security regiment will be divided into four battalions. The first battalion of the security regiment will be headed by Wang Hua, the former squad leader of the second squad, and Li Tiezhu, the squad leader of the third squad, as the deputy battalion commander. Officers below the battalion level will be selected from the soldiers with excellent training..."

Under Su Zhengyang's arrangement, the security regiment was divided into four fully-staffed battalions, namely the first battalion, the second battalion, the third battalion, and the enhanced firepower battalion.

Qin Huaiyi, a veteran soldier, was promoted by Su Zhengyang to deputy battalion commander of the enhanced firepower battalion, while the company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders were appointed by veterans who had performed well in previous training.

For Liu Ershun, today is an unforgettable day. Not only did he receive a reward of 65 yuan, he was also praised by his squad leader Wang Hua, and because of his outstanding performance in training, he became the platoon leader of the first platoon of the second company of the first battalion, in charge of 30 people.

Liu Ershun, who was appointed, was shaking with excitement. He had never been an official in his life, and now he was in charge of so many people.

Wang Hua patted Liu Ershun on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you have won three levels in a row and become a platoon leader. You must work harder in future training and manage your subordinates well, otherwise I will punish you."

Liu Ershun straightened his chest, saluted and said, "Yes, Captain Wang!"

Under the arrangement of Deputy Regiment Commander Liu Gangding, each unit gathered together in platoons and began basic training and physical training.

The veterans who had undergone half a month of training, had outstanding physical fitness and were very familiar with the training process were appointed as low-level officers. Soon, the training ground became full of heat, and the angry curses of the grassroots officers continued to be heard.

Su Zhengyang nodded with satisfaction. With this security team, he had a foothold in the Northwest.

Qin Huaiyi came to Su Zhengyang at this time and said solemnly: "Captain, these soldiers are all children of farmers. It's not a big deal now, but they will need guns and a lot of bullets for military training later. You must prepare early."

In Qin Huaiyi's opinion, although Su Zhengyang is a young master from a big city and has a decisive personality, a good cook cannot cook without rice. In the northwest, arms are in short supply. Even the regular troops under the Guo warlords cannot keep up with the consumption of guns and bullets, and have been in a state of shortage for a long time.

Su Zhengyang responded confidently: "Don't worry, there are enough bullets and rifles. I only have one request. In two months, I want to see them become soldiers who can fight hard battles for me on the battlefield!"

Qin Huaiyi nodded and said, "As long as there is a sufficient supply of bullets and guns, I guarantee that they will all be decent!"

Just as it got dark in the afternoon, the soldiers who had been training all day finished their meal in the cafeteria and began to return to the dormitory in groups of three or four to rest.

In the dim night, dozens of large military trucks lined up in a long queue, making roaring sounds, and rushed along the official road towards the location of the security team.

Cruz, who was sent by the system to help Su Zhengyang transport supplies last time, jumped off the lead truck and greeted Su Zhengyang, "Dear Su, we meet again. This time there are a lot of supplies. Please arrange for someone to unload them as soon as possible."

The huge commotion attracted a large number of security guards to come out and watch the excitement. Liu Gangding looked at the long queue of trucks in front of him and muttered to himself in disbelief: "Oh my God, has the arsenal been emptied?"

Liu Gangding still remembers that the first two times supplies were transported, only one truck was used to transport them. It is conceivable how much supplies were on these dozens of trucks.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get someone to come out and unload the supplies for me!"

Su Zhengyang kicked Liu Gangding on the butt, and Liu Gangding suddenly realized what was going on. He hurriedly summoned a battalion of soldiers to unload the goods at the gate of the base.

Qin Huaiyi also came up curiously, looking at the spectacular scene in front of him, and said to Su Zhengyang: "Captain, what are these things?"

Su Zhengyang smiled slightly: "Food, medicine, and a large number of guns and ammunition, enough to arm two full-strength regiments."

Qin Huaiyi opened his mouth wide, enough to fit a large egg. After a moment of daze, he said to Su Zhengyang with emotion: "Captain, tell me the truth, does your family run a military factory..."
